[PTab=Tab2]APPEARANCE - An orange tabby tom; Firestep is not anything particularly gorgeous or ugly to look at. He has longer fur, a trend that seems to be making its way through ShadowClan but beyond that, he doesn't have much going for him. His remaining eye is a pale and cold green that forces others to avert it. His teeth and claws have started to yellow from age and his whiskers are crumpled and fray. His empty eye socket is haunting and shallow and causes those who see it to shudder and move along.
PERSONALITY - Firestep is not a cat you want around. He is an arrogant, cruel, sadistic and temperamental tom who embodies all things horrible. His cold eyes calculate your every move and determine what exactly needs to be done to emotionally cripple you. But he is suave and silver tongued and when meeting a new cat, it isn't difficult for him to talk his way onto your good side. Many cats from other Clan speak of him as a strong and honourable soul who only fights when he needs to - they don't know the real him. While it is true he rarely lifts a paw (in working or in an abusive meaner) he is very harsh with his words and cruel in his voice. Many cats - including his own family - fear his voice alone.
He has been stuck int he elders den for some time now and many new kits and apprentices attribute his grumpiness to his age and don't know the whole truth. But that doesn't stop mothers from shepharding their young ones away from his nest and cleaning his nest and ticks is a punishment reserved only for those who truly deserve it.

HISTORY - Many would assume a cat so horrible had a traumatic passed. That something terrible had happened to him to make him the way that he was. But Firestep does not fit that pattern. Since his birth, the cat has had a terrible streak. Spark-kit, his sister, was constantly feeling tugging as her brother pulled her tail or tripped up her feet paws. Whenever they played nursery games Firekit was always the leader. And he was a cruel one at that. He often sent her out to fight for him with other kits and he would ensure her 'life' was given for her Clan.
He was given to Stoneclaw to train under. His leader assumed his sadistic personality was due to an absent fatherly figure and hoped that the great warrior tom would fill those pawsteps and fix the young one. But it was not the case. Despite knowing it was happening, Stoneclaw found himself swayed by Firepaw's silver tongue and more often then not, the apprentice was sitting at him or chasing she-cats then he was training or patrolling. The strong warrior had been apprentice-whipped and no one could figure out why.
Firestep has always had impeccable hearing and he learned from a young age to use that to his advantage. In the middle of the night (for that was when the best secrets were told) he would sneak around and listen in on conversations. He would follow cats out of camp and learn every detail he could about their lives behind the curtain. And when they least expected it, he would use his knowledge to blackmail them to his bidding. Not one moon into his training, he followed his apprentices out of camp one night and found him meeting up with a ThunderClan she-cat. His first assumption was a star-crossed love but as he watched and listened, he learned his mentor was half-Clan. And while it was not such a big deal for the ShadowClan tom, the ThunderClan she-cat would certainly be banished from her home. Firepaw used this knowledge and the threat of telling the ThunderClan leader, to keep his mentor in his place.
Firestep mentored two apprentices and learned that the manipulation of one younger then himself was far easier. The fear of not becoming a warrior was enough to keep the younger cats in line. Word spread quickly that he was a harsh tom all around and soon, cats stayed away. But one cat did not gain the benefit of begin invisible to him. In fact, she had practically chased him. He decided that Littledrop was to bear his kits. But he played it cool and acted the part of wooing the younger cat until it was her idea to have kits. Not long after they mated did she announce to the Clan their union.
Two moons later, his children were born - a large orange tom and a pathetically tiny grey she-cat. He accepted Sunkit as his blood but disregarded Ferretkit's existance. At least, until five moons later when they were up for apprenticeship. It took some time and convincing, but Firestep was able to persuade Swampstar to let him train his daughter into something the Clan could be proud of. But everything changed hen the day of the ceremony came. When Ferretpaw was given her name and Swampstar announced her mentor, Sunpaw was outraged and leapt at his father, challenging the larger tom. Firestep hadn't seen the attack coming and in all honesty, he wasn't that great of a fighter to begin with. But his size alone should have seen him victorious and Firestep was not afraid to kill his son right there. But luck was on the younger cats side and taking his father's eye put a stop to the tussle immediately.
Firestep woke up the next day in the Medicine Den with screwy depth perception and the news was broken to him. And on top of that Littledrop told him they were no longer together. A week later, he returned to his warrior duties but the once barely acceptable warrior had lost anything he'd had going for him. He struggled along for a few weeks before Swampstar sent him to the Elder's Den. Many moons have passed but Firestep's anger has not waned. He vowed revenge on his son for taking his eye and his dreams of becoming leader away from him. And soon his day of reckoning will come.

[PTab=Tab3]DO YOU BELIEVE IN STARCLAN? WHY OR WHY NOT? Whatever. I do that care one way or the other if starclan I'd real.
