Silvereye

[willow]

Role player| Willow or Willowy
_____

Name| Silvereye

Gender| Tom

Physical Description| Silvereye was named for his eyes. Pale and sightless, his eyes offer him no assistance in hunting or maneuvering around the enclosure. At the age of fourteen moons, Silvereye is nearly full grown. The young cat cares very little for his appearance, leaving his short, dusty, grey fur tangled and ungroomed. The tom has few identifying marks; the near his paws and tip of his tail he has a few stripes that are only visible in the scattered patches of sunlight. His tail is long and slender, as is the rest of his body. He is quite tall for his age, but not clumsily so. His legs are lanky but muscular and his claws are strong.

Views| Silvereye cares not about the leadership or organization of this smattering of cats. He is against naming a leader, yet he knows that they would probably be better off with one. Logic overrules his emotions but every so often, if provoked by a snide comment or an insult pertaining to his blindness, he will unleash his pent-up fury. Otherwise, Ghost eye is a very practical cat. His wit is cold and harsh, but undisputable. He has little patience for bickering and will walk away from conversations that do not interest him. However, Silvereye has spent many moons secretly working to find an escape from the enclosure. He won’t admit to it, but he believes that escape is quite possible.

Kin| Mother - Mothwhisker (Deceased)
Father - Darkwind (Deceased)
Sister - Shadowfall


History| The tom has pushed his past from his mind. He was raised as any other cat was but he hated his parents. His mother, overprotective and impractical, always bothered Silvereye. She would not leave him alone for a moment and when she did, she sent his older sister to watch over him. His father, on the other hand, completely disconnected himself from the family. After Silvereye was born, he left the family and acted as if he was in no way related to them. He trained himself to fight and protect himself but his father gave him his name. When Silvereye was 8 moons old, his father died of malnutrition, and one month later his mom died from starvation. He only has his sister left who he moderately gets along with.

"Ghosteye"
--
I'm thinking ghost wouldn't be in their vocabulary. Corpse, yes; ghost, no.


"Ghosteye was named for his eyes. Pale and sightless"
--
Have you researched blindness in cats? From what I know, it doesn't change their eye color, unless they have cataracts.


"At the age of fourteen moons"
--
You know they can't see the lunar phases, right?


"The tom has few identifying marks; the near his paws and tip of his tail he has a few stripes"
--
So he's a ticked tabby?


"Ghosteye cares not about the leadership or organization of this smattering of cats."
--
What do you mean? Does he have no opinion?


"Otherwise, Ghost eye is a very practical cat. His wit is cold and harsh, but undisputable."
--
How are these views?


"However, Ghosteye has spent many moons secretly working to find an escape from the enclosure."
--
So he's insane?


"Darkwind" <-- was windy?
"Shadowfall" <-- experienced a decline of some sort?


"His mother, overprotective and impractical, always bothered Ghosteye. She would not leave him alone for a moment and when she did, she sent his older sister to watch over him."
--
Why didn't that make him weak and dependant?


"After Ghosteye was born, he left the family and acted as if he was in no way related to them. He trained himself to fight"
--
The use of pronouns is confusing here.
Also, I don't think cats can train themselves... that might be just hunting, though.

Cloudeye.

--

--
Cats’ eyes can be pale and grey without having to be blind, but because he is blind the appearance of his eyes stands out—therefore, he was named after their appearance. I’m trying to say that the visual appearance of them does not correlate in any way to his blindness.


"At the age of fourteen moons"
--
You know they can't see the lunar phases, right?
--
Yes, yes—how else shall I describe his physical maturity?


"The tom has few identifying marks; the near his paws and tip of his tail he has a few stripes"
--
So he's a ticked tabby?
--
Slightly, but no. His pelt is a solid grey, save for his paws and the tip of his tail. As far as I know, that is not a tabby.


"Ghosteye cares not about the leadership or organization of this smattering of cats."
--
What do you mean? Does he have no opinion?
--
Indeed.


"Otherwise, Ghost eye is a very practical cat. His wit is cold and harsh, but undisputable."
--
How are these views?
--
There wasn’t a place for personality, so I stuck them in here. *shrug*


"However, Ghosteye has spent many moons secretly working to find an escape from the enclosure."
--
So he's insane?
--
If you’d like to call him that, then yes.


"Darkwind" <-- was windy?
----Darkheart
"Shadowfall" <-- experienced a decline of some sort?
----Shadowstep


"His mother, overprotective and impractical, always bothered Ghosteye. She would not leave him alone for a moment and when she did, she sent his older sister to watch over him."
--

--
It’s in his nature to be independent and strong-headed.


"After Ghosteye was born, he left the family and acted as if he was in no way related to them. He trained himself to fight"
--

--
After Ghosteye was born, his father left the family and acted as if he was in no way related to them. Ghosteye/Cloudeye trained himself in self-defense.

He can train himself to be aware of his surroundings and sharpen his reflexes. And yes, he trained himself to hunt for bugs.

"Cloudeye."
--
How would they know about clouds?


"but because he is blind the appearance of his eyes stands out"
--
What do you mean?


"therefore, he was named after their appearance"
--
You know kits are born with their eyes closed, right?


"Yes, yes—how else shall I describe his physical maturity?"
--
It's fine the way it is, though you could say he's an adult (but most people will assume that anyway).


"As far as I know, that is not a tabby."
--
Try looking at some ticked tabbies.


"Indeed."
--
Did you not see my note on the character form?


"There wasn’t a place for personality,"
--
Yes, and that's purposeful.


"If you’d like to call him that,"
--
Do you believe it?


"Shadowstep" <-- steps shadowly?


"It’s in his nature to be independent and strong-headed."
--
Implying that's hereditary?


"And yes, he trained himself to hunt for bugs."
--
Does he only eat bugs?

Silvereye.


"but because he is blind the appearance of his eyes stands out"
--
What do you mean?
--
Beings tend to stare at things that are not “per the usual.” If someone is blind others tend to focus on that person’s eyes.


"therefore, he was named after their appearance"
--
You know kits are born with their eyes closed, right?
--
Then his mother named him later on after her mate left her.


"Yes, yes—how else shall I describe his physical maturity?"
--
It's fine the way it is, though you could say he's an adult (but most people will assume that anyway).
--
He’s an adult, then.


"As far as I know, that is not a tabby."
--
Try looking at some ticked tabbies.
--
Alright, a ticked tabby he is.


"Indeed."
--
Did you not see my note on the character form?
--
Then he quietly votes for a leader.


"There wasn’t a place for personality,"
--
Yes, and that's purposeful.
--
Oh?


"If you’d like to call him that,"
--
Do you believe it?
--
Insane, probably not. Hopeful, yes.


"Shadowstep" <-- steps shadowly?
----Her paws are dark.


"It’s in his nature to be independent and strong-headed."
--
Implying that's hereditary?
--
No. It’s his personality.


"And yes, he trained himself to hunt for bugs."
--
Does he only eat bugs?
--
What? No. He eats whatever he can get his paws on.

[Ten]

"If someone is blind others tend to focus on that person’s eyes."
--
No...? o.o Not unless their eyes twitch, which I don't think cat eyes can do.


"Then his mother named him later on"
--
Why'd she wait?


"Oh?"
--
Yes. If you want to show how your cat acts, do so through their Views and their History. Don't just say "she is nice" or "he is kind".


"Insane, probably not."
--
Did you read the lifestyle differences?
I put it in there, didn't I?


"Her paws are dark."
--
Then why isn't she Shadowfoot?


"It’s his personality."
--
Which he either has from genes or he developed from his environment.
So which is it in this case?


"He eats whatever he can get his paws on."
--
He scavenges?

You know you can modify your post, right?

[willow]

"If someone is blind others tend to focus on that person’s eyes."
--
No...? o.o Not unless their eyes twitch, which I don't think cat eyes can do.
--
Does it really matter that much? His eyes are grey; he is blind.


"Then his mother named him later on"
--
Why'd she wait?
--
Perhaps he was named immediately Silverkit and later Silvereye.


"Oh?"
--
Yes. If you want to show how your cat acts, do so through their Views and their History. Don't just say "she is nice" or "he is kind".
--
Hm.


"Insane, probably not."
--
Did you read the lifestyle differences?
I put it in there, didn't I?
--
Yes. I'm trying to find a middle ground. He's not completely sane, nor is he mad enough to be insane. If you are classifying those who think they can escape as 'insane' then yes, he can be classified as such.


"Her paws are dark."
--
Then why isn't she Shadowfoot?
--
She is as of the last post. XD


"It’s his personality."
--
Which he either has from genes or he developed from his environment.
So which is it in this case?
--
What? Someone can have a personality that doesn't derive from ancestry nor from their environment. I don't understand what you are getting at. Sorry.


"He eats whatever he can get his paws on."
--
He scavenges?
--
Yes? He catches and eats whatever prey he can get his paws on...

[Ten]

"His eyes are grey"
--
As in blue?


"I'm trying to find a middle ground."
--
I see you're not comprehending.


"he can be classified as such."
--
Do you believe it?


"Someone can have a personality that doesn't derive from ancestry nor from their environment."
--
It has to get there somehow.
It's not like fate doles them out at random.


"He catches and eats whatever prey he can get his paws on..."
--
So he doesn't scavenge?

[willow]

"His eyes are grey"
--
As in blue?
--
No. Grey. G R E Y.


"I'm trying to find a middle ground."
--
I see you're not comprehending.
--
Insane then.


"he can be classified as such."
--
Do you believe it?
--
>_< huuuu. I guess so.


"Someone can have a personality that doesn't derive from ancestry nor from their environment."
--
It has to get there somehow.

--
Not true. A personality does not have to come from someone's lineage nor their surroundings. People react to their surroundings, and that chosen action comes from a person's mind. The environment does not determine anyone's personality. Perhaps the environment defines how others see him, but his personality is his own.


"He catches and eats whatever prey he can get his paws on..."
--
So he doesn't scavenge?
--
If you consider that scavenging, then, yes.


My, my. Much ado about nothing!

Haha, I have to agree with that.
