opening up the microwave :Cat_Boom_Explode: mystery guy lore time backstory: -- was one of those cats with an obsession of being loyal to your clan and clan leader and how power is directly equated to your worth -- was a horrible mentor. now, he was great at making apprentices into formidable warriors, but he also forced his ideas of power and loyalty onto them along with the mentality that they were worthless if they weren't powerful enough -- was incredibly cruel to anyone (though it was more of a paced out psychological way than anything loud or outright violent--though he knew he could get away with more when it came to cats he was teaching) who challenged his ideals, no matter age or position, unless they were someone that he felt he NEEDED to be on decent terms with--such as cats in high ranking positions like leader and deputy -- completely despises non-clan cats. the only thing he hates more is seeing one get accepted into a clan -- (probably killed or tried to kill his leader or deputy to move himself higher in the ranks. it would fit, but i'm not sure. that thought's still in the microwave) -- was eventually killed by several queens. good riddance currently: -- dead, with a habit of wandering. he refuses to say where exactly he should be residing--though if asked if he's a starclan cat, he says yes. -- absolutely hates milkwail. just completely despises her. pretty much only shows up to her because she looks like an easy target, and stands for everything he hates, at that. (former kittypet that joined the clan, completely unskilled when it comes to fighting and hunting, "fat and lazy", thinks dying for your clan is stupid, etc) -- he'll show up for other cats on occasion too, though, albeit as a distant shadow taunting them . . . or as a 'starclan' cat offering advice and promises of some sort of great destiny if they look like they'd be the type of cat to believe it. (in both cases, it's often with the end goal to destroy things that he finds ideologically repulsive to replace it with something he finds to be more correct -- hm. i don't recall canon warriors lore but i will simply ignore that. he can possess cats that are too weak to fight him off, however he is still limited by said cat's weaknesses -- a little too obsessed with having a presentable, fear-inducing entrance. he will usually only show up to a cat in very dark areas (such as during the night) or when they are casting a tall shadow (such as within a den during dawn or dusk) -- (not sure if this is gonna be in the case of possession or in the case of his presentable entrance, but i think it would be interesting to him to take the form of other cats, albeit with red pupils and a complete inability to fully copy their mannerisms) in conclusion, uh. do not listen to him and his lies. and point highkit directly at your shadow if he's getting particularly annoying
