please take into consideration that this thread takes place at the tail end / very shortly after the first raid thread! if you are currently fighting in that thread, please do not post with the same character here. anyone who missed their opportunity there, however, is welcome :3c
They have prepared themselves for this moment. As the sounds of battle reach their ears from RiverClan's new camp, they maneuvered. They held. A day's rest has made them strong, while a day's work has made the others weak– and he can hear their panic in their rage as they throw themselves at the first wave of this war. A sun-burnished pelt is shielded by the dark and the foliage, his crouch so low that the fur of his belly brushes the earth. RiverClan stench mixes with the comfort of moorland heather, but they have done all they could to hide the scent far before crossing that rickety wooden bridge. It was always meant for them to be as so: lying in wait, the fangs behind the already deadly claws.
He needed no coaxing to this war, and the clanmates behind him had been just as prepared for it. As eager. Their horror and rage at RiverClan's cruelty is what had propelled them to this moment, and he will not see any of them falter now. Vengeance was close. Even if they could not have Hyacinthbreath herself, they could punish the lot of these beasts.
With tail signals alone, Sunstride fans the patrol out. He does not speak to them, does not risk their moment of surprise, but he chances a glance over his shoulder to pass glacial eyes over each of them. They were ready. He was ready. Rising from his crouch and bursting through the foliage, the second round of WindClanners joins the fray. StarClan must have been on their side, for it seems the timing is perfect. The battle wanes, the stench of blood still on the air. "WindClan!" he finally speaks, great voice carrying far, "finish this!"

- ooc: open for 1-2 opponents! willing to do dice rolls, but honestly kinda lazy
-
SUNSTRIDE. named for his coloration and his bold chasing of fate.
—— cis male, he - him. thirty-six moons old. lead warrior of windclan and former rogue.
—— gay, but somewhat closeted. will not be open about his interests. single, will be so.
—— seems comparatively stranger than who he was some moons ago, serious and cool.
sunstride is broad and bold– a creature standing above most of windclan, though not a beast beyond its borders, with fur that flames red at its base and deepens to a burnt amber with every whorl and stripe. his eyes, in comparison, are a pale summer's blue, still as bold as the rest of him. -
highly skilled warrior. trained from a young age in general battle tactics as well as managing a semi-organized raid. prefers to strike quickly and cause chaos, then retreat just as quickly once his goal is accomplished. is capable of keeping multiple opponents at bay, though he would be unable to gain the upper hand in such circumstances.
—— please avoid eye trauma and wounds that would take him out of work for weeks.
—— will start fights ╱ will join fights ╱ will kill or maim when it becomes necessary.
—— will end fights or retreat on own terms ╱ refuses to chase retreating opponents. - "speech"
