A brother

[| COMRADE |]

I'm going to be making a ThunderClan tom soon, rather an outcast because he is usually a pensive, compassionate tom, more of a medicine cat than a warrior. He doesn't like to fight, he's very gentle and empathetic, but behind all that, he has an explosive temper that he always keeps in the front of his mind, worried that he might blow up in front of his clan mates. I am not sure of his name yet.

But this tom has a brother, and the brother is basically the exact opposite. Because my cat treats the brother like a hero, the brother is very arrogant, proud, and has a high self-esteem, typically thinking of himself before anyone else. But he does have a good heart, and is very close to his 'younger' brother, and often protects the tom, though, with some reluctance or feelings of misgiving. Their relationship can sometimes be strained because my cat is always going off thinking he can do something to save everyone, while the brother is always thinking more about himself and his own clan.

The past is basically as follows.

They are both 35 moons old, but the arrogant brother was the first to be born, so he is always treated as the older sibling who must look after his little brother. Their father was never around much, always going on patrols and doing things that they could never understand. There was a great secret in this family that not even the kits knew. Their mother was very good at hiding things from them, and although she cared for them dearly, it was almost as though she cared too much to hurt them with the truth. She protected her kits not only from the outside world, but the mental aspects of every day life.

The two kits played together for the majority of their kithood, practically inseparable. The younger tom always looked up to his older brother, but when they played, his brother would always teach him things the hard way, saying that he won't get the easy way when he's fighting in a battle or out hunting for the clan. The younger kit never understood, and argued with his brother for this.

As apprentices, they were still practically inseparable, but the relationship began to grow tense as the younger brother leaned more towards helping cats than hunting or fighting. He was so empathetic that he cared about cats from other clans, and cats not even from the clans. It was at that time when the older brother learned his little brother's secret, and that was 'he didn't believe in StarClan'. The news was startling to the older brother who had always been a believer, but because the younger brother asked for him to keep the secret, he did. They trained, and the younger brother wanted to become the medicine cat, but the position was already taken.

They both became warriors, however, and they've worked hard for their clan, whether it be by fighting tooth and claw, like the older brother, or helping the clan in the background with his compassion and sympathy, guiding them through their grief and telling them where to go next, like the younger brother.


They are both black cats, and they may have white markings. The both have yellow eyes, but the older brother is much larger than the younger brother, who is less than the average size of any tom.


IF YOU WANT THE TOM: [first come first serve]

You must: Come up with a name, and find a fitting picture for the cat. Then we move on from there. Got it? Simple :].



EDIT ----
I've come up with my cat's name.
