LADY MACBETH IN CHAINS | scorchstorm

[SCORCHSTORM]

*:･ﾟ✧ The sharp edge of the blade sundered the bones, smote through the neck, and clave it in two, so that the edge of the steel bit on the ground, and the fair head fell to the earth that many struck it with their feet as it rolled forth. The blood spurted forth, and glistened on the green raiment, but the knight neither faltered nor fell; he started forward with out-stretched hand, and caught the head, and lifted it up; then he turned to his steed, and took hold of the bridle, set his foot in the stirrup, and mounted. His head he held by the hair, in his hand. Then he seated himself in his saddle as if naught ailed him, and he were not headless. He turned his steed about, the grim corpse bleeding freely the while, and they who looked upon him doubted them much for the covenant.

For he held up the head in his hand, and turned the face towards them that sat on the high dais, and it lifted up the eyelids and looked upon them and spake as ye shall hear:

"LOOK, GAWAIN, THAT THOU ART READY TO GO AS THOU HAST PROMISED, AND SEAK LEALLY TILL THOU FIND ME, EVEN AS THOU HAST SWORN IN THIS HALL IN THE HEARING OF THESE KNIGHTS. COME THOU, I CHARGE THEE, TO THE GREEN CHAPEL; SUCH A STROKE AS THOU HAST DEALT THOU HAST DESERVED, AND IT SHALL BE PROMPTLY PAID THEE ON NEW YEAR'S MORN!"

─ SIR GAWAIN AND THE GREEN KNIGHT​

  Scorchstorm is among the biggest cats in WindClan. Owing to Badgermoon's musculature, she bears broad shoulders, rippling muscles, and an overall rectangular shape. She stands tall among her peers, though to other Clans she is of average size. She thinks little of her posture, and though she typically stands straight, she does not often puff out her chest or seem especially pompous. Scorchstorm, despite her size, could easily melt into a crowd when it comes to how she carries herself.
  
  While the cat herself may not look like much, her pelt is a different story. It is close-cropped and wiry, coarse as her mother's, and just as beautifully marbled between charcoal blacks and flaming oranges. The most distinct patches splash across her face in an uneven dance; many of her orange spotting resemble streaks of ember across her limbs and back. At the base of her tail, orange explodes across her haunches. The final color of this trio manifests in the traditional tuxedo white spotting that Badgermoon bore — and, notably, his white ear-tips.
  
  Moderately scarred, Scorchstorm's body is that of a true warrior. She boasts immense strength and can certainly tank hits where other smaller cats may struggle. She maintains a good amount of WindClan's agility, making her a dangerous opponent — heavy yet mobile. Some injuries Scorchstorm has suffered have stayed with her, though — a mild infection from Honeybadger's bite has resulted in a leg that will ache unprompted. Smoke inhalation from WindClan's controlled burn has damaged her lungs and made her vulnerable to future respiratory injury and infection. Scorchstorm pushes through these things no matter how it costs her in the name of carrying out her orders.
  
  —— Scars: An x-shaped scar over the bridge of her nose, earned from a dog bite. A small slash on her shoulder from Sootstar. A bite mark on her right hind leg from Honeybadger, whom she killed.
  —— Accessories: N/A; previously wore a blue morpho wing behind her left ear, but has since retired the accessory to her nest, ratty and tattered. It is sentimental from the time she and her littermates caught butterflies together as kits.

  —— Scorchstorm was named for her brutality, and in battle she displays this well. A skilled WindClanner in both speed and stock, she can tank hits while still remaining agile — at least for a while. Scorchstorm's biggest downfall is her blood-hunger, the red that mists the corners of her vision, the going too far. She believes strongly in blood justice and will aim to kill cats who have wronged her or her own. She will also follow any order Sunstar gives her, meaning if he orders her to die fighting, then... well, she will go out in a blaze.
  
  *✶。 Fights to win — permanently. Aims to kill unless the cat is obviously young. For younger opponents she will aim to weaken and injure, but not maim. Will always follow orders from her superiors before acting in her own interest unless in a rage state.
  *✶。 I like to roll for attacks but will adjust to keep in line with my character's strengths / weaknesses. I do always strive for fairness in battles & try to let most hits land, unless I'm avoiding certain injuries. Please feel free to reach out for battle plots, as I love plotted fights as well! I also tend to write battles aggressively, but don't take this to mean all attacks should be hitting — that is up to your discretion.

• SCORCHSTAR / Mother and leader, very close / ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
  

  " My mother. She will lead WindClan well — I am proud to be a member of her council, and I am proud to be her daughter. I hope I serve her well. "

  OOC. the scorches dynamic is so special to me!!!! i never planned for scunior to end up so much like her mom but they really are echoes of each other which i think is beautiful... especially because she was primarily raised by scorchstreak. now that she is leader scunior is so afraid to watch her DIE... but also she thinks that leadership is the ultimate service to one's clan... so she is very proud!
  
  Spoiler: PREVIOUS OPINIONS

  " My mother. She is the best warrior and deputy that WindClan has known. I am proud to look so much like her. My heart aches for her after losing Bluepool — but she is strong. We ache together, I think. I wish I knew how to talk to her better. "

  
  BADGERMOON / Father and traitor, estranged / ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
  

  " Why did he leave? He was my father. I asked Sootstar about his betrayal — about whether she had fabricated it or not. I still do not know the answer. I still sometimes miss my apprenticeship under him; he knew so much about the moors. He just seemed so in tune with things. And he left us behind. "

  OOC. OUGHHH my heart... the dramatic irony of their situation haunts me. she turned against him when he was exiled from windclan and i dont know that she would ever accept him again... unless she knew the truth. i think about them sm :- (
  
  LUCKYPAW / Brother and barn cat, closest growing up / ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
  

  " I miss him every day. I cannot say I completely understand his decision to stay in Horseplace. I just hope he is happy there, and that he grows fat on mice, and has cats to talk to. I visit when I can. "

  OOC. their relationship as siblings will always have a special place in my heart! luckypaw was scunior's best friend growing up and she still misses him dearly. i looove luckypaw and the dev that he and scunior went through while he was still active :- )
  
  RUMBLERAIN / Littermate and DuskClanner, estranged / ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
  

  " I can bring them back. I am sure of it. "

  OOC. the tragedy of a sister who cannot see the cost of her abandonment... a sister who thinks she can make things right but only according to her own will.... my heart aches for them and what could have been! she loves rumble but doesn't pause to consider what they would want. ough
  
  FROSTWIND✝​ / Brother and phantom / ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
  

  " Oh, StarClan.... " Scorchstorm turns her face away. " I could have done something. I could have saved him. Stars. Frostwind, I... I'm so sorry. "

  OOC. his death has truly impacted her... he was her last littermate left in the clan and now hes DEAD. and she WATCHED HIM DIE! and she never really apologized... i fear her grief may consume her...!
  
  Spoiler: PREVIOUS OPINIONS

  " He was different after the journey. I suppose I was too. We have not been as close since; I wish I knew him better, really, but I do not know how to get close. "

  
  RATTLEHEART✝​ / Uncle, closest to him of her mother's littermates / ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
  

  " His stupid heroics have left Venomstrike a widow and their kits without a father. I.... I resent his death. "

  OOC. scunior LOOOVED rattleheart and is devastated to see him lost, especially for the sake of a riverclanner. she genuinely despises the way he died and chooses not to see the good in his decision so she has anger to hold on to. she was closest to him of her mother's littermates, so his death affected her dearly.
  
  DAPPLEDSUN✝​ / Brother, killed before she was born / ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
  

  " I used to be very scared of him, although he has been dead since before I was born. Scorchstreak... she killed him, in Sootstar's name. I have not talked to her about him in a very long time, but I think she has changed. I hope to meet Dappledsun in StarClan someday, if only to put a face to the ghost. "

[SCORCHSTORM]

Spoiler: OLD TAGS ─ june 01 thru july 13 '23

SCORCHKIT: named for her mother, whom she greatly resembles. a reserved girl dedicated to her clan and her family. values loyalty over everything, but her stoic nature and propensity for work doesn't mean she's cold. scorchkit can be as warm as the fire she's named after-- and she can burn just as easily.
─ cis girl (she / her) ; undetermined sexuality
─ 03 moons; born june 1st 2023 & started at 02 moons

✦ SCORCHSTREAK xx BADGERMOON; also raised by curlewnose. half-sibling to the late dappledsun. sister to rumblekit, frostkit, and luckykit
─ scorchkit loves her family- that much is obvious. she serves her parents as best as she can, always striving to meet their expectations, however mounting. she generally has an eldest sibling air about her that drives her to protect and dote on her siblings when they allow it. with friends, she is a little less obvious with her care, but this doesn't mean she's disinterested-- quite the opposite. scorchkit loves company (albeit the quiet sort). get on scorchkit's bad side, though, and know the heat of anger that both she and her mother seem to be named for.

✦ (+) dedicated, obedient, loyal, compassionate (/) reflective, honest, orderly (-) brutal, neurotic, complacent, ambitious an even mix of her parents' traits, scorchkit has inherited both the best of the best and the worst of the worst of badgermoon and scorchstreak.
─ self-serious and dedicated to her work, even as a kitten scorchkit is more often seen restlessly patrolling the borders of windclan's camp than playing with her fellow brood. this doesn't mean she's incapable of having fun, but she may need to be nudged into it, as she is otherwise content to work herself to the bone (as much as a kitten can, anyway)
─ raised to be among windclan's loyalest members, scorchkit harbors an immense pride for her clan, her parents, and for the warriors that help raise her. she will follow her clanmates to the ends of the earth and would easily sacrifice herself for her clan, as it is what she has been raised to do. this also means that she is indifferent to or even supportive of windclan's crimes against other clans, or even against its own members, as long as she is given reason to believe that her clan is in the right.
─ though she is often quiet or generally unassuming, scorchkit harbors a deep passion for her fellow clanmates. she may try to aid them when they struggle in her own perhaps unconventional ways. she may lack many friends, as she is not traditionally outgoing, but her efforts to support her clanmates will hopefully earn her some good rapport.
─ as long as she receives praise from her mother and fathers she will be fine, but scorchkit's confidence hinges deeply on her ability to make them proud. she can be insecure in her relationships when she is not receiving a steady stream of positive attention.
─ brutal on the battlefield. may also be brutal if she is pushed to a deep, fiery anger. though her temper is not as quick as her mother's, it can burn just as brightly.

✦ i would eventually like her to find out about dappledsun's fate (assuming scorchstreak wouldn't tell them outright, but if she would then all the better) and, though i imagine scorchkit would feel secure with her family and loved by them, this news of filicide in the name of loyalty would drive scorch jr all the more to be in her parents' good graces.
✦ far too large to be a tunneler, though she will be sad about this. she is content to follow in her father's pawsteps as a moor-runner but always harbored secret hopes that she might be a tunneler due to their elevated status in windclan's ranks.
✦ i think she will be wary of curlewnose but generally accepting of him as long as there is no reason for her to reject him icly! i could see her being one of the first of the litter to accept him as a father figure.
✦ i would like for her to be a very devout starclan believer!

✦ SH tortoiseshell with low white and heterochromatic amber-yellow eyes. toyhouse. scorchkit takes her size from her father; though still smaller than most clan cats, the child will grow to be one of windclan's biggest warriors. broad-shouldered and nimble like badgermoon. however, in most other respects, she is scorchstreak's mini-me, thus earning her her generational name. her flaming tortoiseshell patterning travels in thick streaks over a more classic tuxedo-patterned white spotting (including badgermoon's notable white ear-tips). her fur is short and course like her mother's.​

  ✦ BADGERMOON x SCORCHSTREAK / sibling to frostpaw, rumblepaw, luckypaw & half-sibling to dappledsun / niece to lizardbounce, rabbitclaw, and rattleheart / generation 2
  ⸝ loves her family! <3
  ⸝ friends with parsnippaw
  ⸝ likes sootstar, hollypaw, sunstride, wolfsong, periwinklebreeze, houndthistle, cygnetstare, weaselclaw
  ⸝ dislikes vulturemask, other clans (generally)
  ⸝ loathes windclan traitors (generally)
  
  scorchpaw loves her family- that much is obvious. she serves her parents as best as she can, always striving to meet their expectations, however mounting. she generally has an eldest sibling air about her that drives her to protect and dote on her siblings when they allow it. with friends, she is a little less obvious with her care, but this doesn't mean she's disinterested-- quite the opposite. scorchpaw loves company (albeit the quiet sort). get on scorchpaw's bad side, though, and know the heat of anger that both she and her mother seem to be named for.

  apprentice to badgermoon; none
  excels at speed and agility; she has the makings of a true windclanner in this sense. has a natural talent for racing over the moors, though she will only get better with badgermoon's training. scorchpaw also has the brawny build of her father, making her a sturdy warrior-- once she has the training to utilize that muscle. she excels at taking orders and executing another cat's will (even if it does not necessarily agree with her own).
  poor at as a windclanner, scorchpaw hardly sets paw in the river or upon a tree. she can neither climb nor swim, and would be in real danger were she to fall into the river. she is also a better fighter than she is a hunter. she is poor at guiding herself with her heart.
• aesthetics:
  
  • knights, dragons, and beasts; the promise of becoming great
  • dew on morning grass and wide fields of heather, the threat of razing it all to the ground looming overhead
  • fire, the fire of passion, the fire of destruction, the rebirth after ash
  • sparkling and pretty things, battle and ugly things
  • there is a heightened awareness to her, a keen way of noticing, and yet she shares little of her knowledge. obedient dogs don't speak out of turn.
  • crane wives, florence & the machine
  • women that become the beasts they hunt
  • a perfect image of her mother that becomes her father.
