Appearance
Description Reference
- Large, stocky grey tom with orange eyes and a short tail / reference by B1OHAZARD
  Will edit with more later, but Houndthistle is about 14.5" tall at the top of his skull.
  ⤷ Stylized shorthair grey solid tom with low white and shortened tail(manx); carrying long hair, broken mackerel pattern, and cinnamon. Has genetic linkage to polydactylism
  ⤷ Most emotions can be conveyed with his brows and his ears. Stands slouched, head low to talk at the level of others. More or less walks similar to a big cat with a slight lazy flick of his paws with each step rather than a simple, well-placed step.

Houndthistle is perhaps an enigma in of himself despite how simply he wishes to live his life. Neither an instigator or an observer, Houndthistle is best described as a tool who has very little qualms about what he's used against. Morals have no place in a world based entirely around survival, the only rule being don't die in his mind, and this rule that has baked everything about him from his outlook, his personality, and his conscience. This rule also seems to compel the large tom to never acknowledge anything below the surface, shoving anything difficult down and continuing on like it never happened, piling ontop of those broad shoulders, teetering precariously between toppling one way or the other.

Due to past choices and experiences, Houndthistle seems to encompass a very apathetic outlook on himself, life, and those around him. Everyone is neither friend nor foe, just souls surviving just like him and he has no issues cutting their lives short if it meant him to continue surviving-though how he internally feels about that seems to operate from a case-by-case situation. His view on himself is one of detachment. He's not a person, he's not a thing, he's merely an animal and, sometimes, a weapon, something that can be used by others aslong as he stays alive and surviving. He doesn't hold grudges and he doesn't seek revenge, believing revenge is only done by those who already are fine with death themselves, and, instead, he regards those around him no different then himself. Sure, some are smarter, some are more talkative, and some are nicer than him, but theyre all cats that bleed red and breathe air and anyone can either ally themselves with him just as easily as they can rip his back open the moment it's turned. It's only those that prove that they're worth listening to and obeying does he seem to hold any sort of loyalty to, no matter their personal views and morals. Afterall, without use of morals himself, why should he care what anyone else thinks?

Houndthistle's personality is a bit more complex then his outlook, typically seen either blankly watching or uninterestedly determined at whatever task he's doing, very rarely having conversation and even rare-er smiling and joking. He seems burdened by his wisdom of how life is and its hardships, holding most others at an arm's length and never truly being vulnerable with anyone. He doesn't believe anyone who would know him would enjoy his company and is at peace with that. But if, somehow it ever comes, Houndthistle finds himself close to another, he's attentive and as relaxed as he can be, typically showing appreciation for their company in the way of jokes or company and seems pleased to just be around said others. He isn't one for words and he never will try, but actions are his specialty and he uses these in the way of his interactions with others.

Despite the seemingly stone-hard, guarded exterior, Houndthistle finds himself guilty. It's a guilt he carries and wears as clear as a badge upon his chest to any who he shows it to. His past is marked in the blood of many and he knows atleast some of it he shed himself or was the reason it was shed. He doesn't let the past define him-or so he thinks-and he tries to stay marching on. His guilt is his own burden and is a consequence of his actions and doesn't seem to stop his more... unsightly actions. Afterall, he's already guilty and sure he's damned, why should it matter if more blood stains his claws? It's not like he's making the calls now, he's just doing as he's told.

Houndthistle is both an easy one to gain the trust of and impossible to gain the trust of. He'll rarely reveal personal information or be vulnerable-if he's even capable of such things-but he will show trust in his willingness to lay his life down. To gain it, he needs evidence that you're loyal and strong, same as him, otherwise he understands he may one day have to come head to head with you.

History

Detailed History Timeline

Kittenhood

Born to two loners separate from the groups that resided in the forest, Peony and Hound's Tooth, a single kit was born after a difficult and long pregnancy and birth during a peaceful new moon in the fall on the outskirts of what would one day be Thunderclan's territory. Peony, having been weakened by her pregnancy and the difficult birth, rested while her mate named their sole son after himself, Hound. This single moment of peace was the only one he'd know as he grew older, the difficulties of the trio being alone to survive weighed heavier as Peony never fully recovered from the birth. Unskilled in healing and too stubborn to ask anyone for help with his mate, Hound's Tooth would drag Hound after him to hunt as early as two moons, unempathetic and even growing frustrated as his young son failed to help him provide for his family. Hound learned early that nature was cruel when he had one of his ears nipped by a rat, and learned quickly his father wouldn't be there to coddle him as Hound's Tooth nicked the other to match. His father's cold exterior was tolerable when he could rest next to Peony's shape, her singing him lullabyes and cleaning his ears for him while his father stood guard through the night, watching with worried eyes after his family.

But as the seasons grew crueler, Peony grew weaker and within Hound's first winter, his mother passed to a sickness that devastated her body and left her sole son and mate to survive and grieve on their own. And even as the frost on the branches thawed, his father's icy exterior seemed to grow worse. Hound wondered many times if his father blamed him for Peony's weakness and subsequent death. His father's harsh behavior only grew more, with constant reprimands and condescending tones, even swatting young Hound when he'd failed to catch a squirrel to feed them.

Adolescence

As he grew older, Hound's Tooth grew more impatient with his son. Once reaching 5 moons, his father began training him to survive against other cats, and he didn't hold back. Claws unsheathed and teeth aiming to do damage, Hound knew he either needed to learn fast or risk being seriously hurt as his full grown father wasn't even softening his blows for his young son. This constant "training" caused Hound to begin resenting his father, silently, for the few times he did have an outburst, his father would quickly remind him of his place as the child. He is to listen and do as he's told. Such things were even more put in place as Hound's Tooth would get his few amicable acquaintances to beat on Hound in an attempt to teach him faster, saying that if he believed he was actually fighting for his life, he'd learn faster.

Hound's adolescence reaches a crescendo on the edge of 12 moons, the bitter hatred and resent built up from years of abuse and mistreatment leading to Hound murdering his father in his sleep on a cold spring night, the bright full moon illuminating his actions as, for once, Hound finally got his dues. But the action wasn't good and Hound, now alone, cried into his father's cold corpse, angry at his dad for never being there and driving his son to kill him and at himself for having to do this.

Adulthood

Hound's adulthood after murdering his father follows pretty blandly. He survives alone for awhile until around 14 moons he stumbles across a group of brothers, three to be exact, surviving alone without their family and striking out on their own. Hound, wary as the only strangers he'd ever interacted with up to that point were cats who tried to hurt him or take things from him, quickly grows to trust this group and follows them, teaching them how to fight and is welcomed in as though another brother. Within four moons of him joining them, though, one of the brothers is killed by a larger group. The other two brothers and Hound, blinded by grief, track down the group and wage a full out attack. The other group is killed, but so are the other two brothers and Hound is left horribly injured. Having seen the destruction of his only family both times being ended by his own choice to act on vengeance, the nearly dying tom swears to never take to vengeance to settle his disputes again. He'd rather his family, whatever one he will eventually have, survive rather then lose them all again in a fool's errand.

For three moons, he wanders alone again, hunting mice by twoleg place until he finally comes across a cat who catches his interest. A house-cat named Sootsprite, she's adventurous, bubbly, and just an absolute ray of sunshine to Hound's bleary, rough life, and he falls hard for her. He visits everyday he can, bringing her treats of the forest and telling wild tales about some of the more positive adventures he'd been on, all the cats he'd met, everything. She grows interested and they both make plans to run away together, for him to show her the forest. But the day comes and... he waits. Well past three sunfalls, before, finally, he gives up, heartbroken, and is left only with what-ifs of his life he dreamed of. She chose her housefolk, and he turned back to the forest, alone.

At 24 moons, one brutally rainy day, he stumbles across a dying she-cat, the scent of dogs drenching the forest around them. Hound listens as, with her dying breaths, she begs him to take her kits, save them, and understands even as she's dying, she's desperate for her kids to continue on surviving. He promises, holding her paw, before she leans back and asks him one more favor. Upon request, he mercy kills her, a simple claw strike across her throat and as she dies, he sits with her, holding her. Once she's passed, he searches for her kits only to find all but one was killed by the dogs. The sole survivor of the brutal killings was a tom-kit he named Sun and takes the kit to do as he promised his dying mother. Hound raises Sun, working his best to be a better father then his own ever was, but he doesn't know what he's doing and possibly messes up along the way, but he grows fond of the young kit.

Three moons before the two groups have their large fight and split into the clans, Hound comes home one evening to find his den he was raising Sun at reeks of fox and the young tom is nowhere to be found. Panicked, for an entire moon, Hound searches for his son, desperate that the kit, at 4 moons, had gotten away, survived, and was waiting for him to find him, but he grows weary. Eventually, he accepts that his son is dead and he entirely leaves the forest he grew up in, fell inlove in, and was raising his son in, the grief of so much loss haunting him and he makes his way to the moors where he meets a group that calls them Windclan. He joins and, under Sootstar's reign, is given the name of Houndthistle.

I'm just adding cats as I feel Hound develops opinions on em

SOOTSPRITESPARK / ♡♡♡♡♡♡

Houndthistle both is inlove with and is absolutely consumed by anger by Sootspritespark. His opinion on the she-cat has become as tumultuous as a storm itself[will update as plots develop]

GRAVELSNAP / ♡♡♡♡♡

As his first apprentice, Houndthistle thinks Gravelsnap is like another child of his own. He looks out for and trusts Gravelsnap greatly, more than many of his other clanmates, and enjoys the company of the young tom. He tends to take on a father-like role toward him, despite knowing Gravelsnap has a father, and hopes the young tom respects him and trusts him aswell.

WOLFSONG / ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Houndthistle holds great respect and admiration for Wolfsong, not only as a warrior but as his friend aswell. He feels comfortable around Wolfsong to joke and let his steely exterior crack enough and trusts the tom enough to see him at some of his weaker points. Despite their flirting, Houndthistle doesn't see Wolfsong as a true romantic opportunity, having caught on in his dense dumb brain that Wolfsong and Sunstride have a thing, though without Sunstride making anything official with Wolfsong, Houndthistle isn't against benefitting where he can. He'd be willing to kill for Wolfsong and would be proud to fight side by side with him.
