Lichenclan
A muscular rosette tabby tom with golden eyes
Warrior
Tom
65 moons
Appearance
Character Stature: This tom stature is more towards the likeness of a redwoodclan than Lichenclan. Sootpelt is often called "The Brown Behemoth" for the sheer amount of muscle and bulk he has. He stands proudly often intimidating smaller cats despite not being among one of the tallest toms around. Sootpelt's thick broad shoulders are a sort of trademark next to his pelt.
Character Pelt: Sootpelt's fur is nothing short of stunning being sleek, soft and incredibly shiny. Overall it's short but can handle leaf-bare without too much trouble. Coloring wise it's a honey tone brown with sable black rosettes littering his body even his tail. He also possess a large string of tabby markings but the majority on his legs. Some cats call him a fine piece of eye candy if not better looking than his son which amuses him to some extent.
Character Face: Sootpelt's face is pretty narrow and V-shaped. He has large golden eyes. They shine brightly even on the darkest night. It is said when he stares someone it's almost like his staring into their soul. There is a note-worthy "M" shaped marking on the top of head for all to see. It's one of his main features aside from the tom having big pointed ears and long whiskers. There a small dash of white fur is underneath his chin. Sootpelt barely show any emotions so his face is quite hard to read.

Personality
Religious(+):
Like much of Lichenclan, Sootpelt is a very strong believer of the Starclan. To him, Starclan is largely a comfort. Knowing that his ancestors, friends, and love ones who lost their lives are watching over him and that he will one day join them is one of his main sources of motivation. Starclan will always hold a piece of his heart but he'll never fall victim or let it blind him like so many of his clan-mates even his own leader has done.
Devoted(+):
You will like never find a more dedicated and loyal comrade than this older tom. Unlike his son, he truly value needs of the others and his clan over his own and without looking for any personal gain in it. Gaining this loyalty is not easy but Sootpelt will stick to his friends to the bitter end. It's double edge-sword at best and the reason while he strongly dislikes Minnowstar, he wouldn't go against her because she is the leader of the clan.
Honorable(+):
Sootpelt has a strong set of morals and sense of what is right and wrong. It's very similar to the warrior code. He will never go against these morals even gets him punished for it. Unlike many who claimed it's the will of Starclan and that nonsense, Sootpelt refused to fighting dirty in battle with the odds are stack against him.
Resilient(=):
Sootpelt's life has been nothing but tragic thus far. He lost friends,his own mate, even become estranged from his one and only son even so he still moving on with his life. Over the moons, the tom has adapted to these tough times and the pain refusing to it stop him from his goals.
Watchful(=):
Sootpelt tends to lurk in the shadows watching his clan-mates from afar than chat idly. He has a more complex view on the Lichenclan way of life about of what has seen. In general, the warrior is very quick to pick up on gestures and read scenes.
Strict(=):
Sootpelt is a hard worker and dependable tom who takes pride in his work strong ethic. A duty or training of any kind it's not a laughing matter. With the clan at war and lives on the line, Sootpelt will be snappy at anyone who slacking off. He means-well really but he can get end over his head.
Withdrawn(-):
Brooding would be the best word to describe how closed off Sootpelt is. It steams mainly from grief and loneliness that he has been being dealing with over the moons. In short the tom is merely fraction of what he used to be.
Solitary(-)
Sootpelt prefers to be alone than dealing with others and their drama. Solitude has a long been a change to recharge from the stress life brings him. It also keeps seems sane when having to deal with the zealots or the more annoy members of his clan. That and Sootpelt pretty awkward around others most of the time so keeping his distance stop him from making a fool of himself.
Resentful(-)
Bitterness and hate pump through Sootpelt's veins almost relentless. The life he wanted to have is gone and dreams he thrived to see happen were shattered, Sootpelt feels that like he has be robbed of everything he had ever wanted. All he has left of his what was to-be joyful life is a terrible of excuse of waste blood that is Leopardface. Sootpelt hides this pretty well but when he sees a happy couple or kits playing with their parent Sootpelt's expression darkening or he glares at them.
History
Sootkit was only one child born to Spottledtail and and Stoneclaw. They were high-ranks members of Lichenclan for their undivided support and loyalty for the heron-bloodline. Born with high expectations, the tom wasn't given much of change to make to friends as his parents preferred to lecture him on Starclan and clan life then exactly letting him being a part of it. It annoyed Sootkit to no even after his baptism he never saw why was so great about the stars to were was any need for this. However, he was ready to honor them when time was right.
Sootpaw's apprenticeship was his first taste of real freedom from his smothering parents. He learned his name alongside a molly called Featherpaw. She began his first real friend and they grew closer as moons went on. Torrentfur was the young tom's mentor which was a relief from what he expected in his kithood. Torrentfur had more common sense that Starclan wasn't everything there was. Under the tom-cat teachings Sootpaw grew to be brave and also resilient. That proved used fulled when his parents passed away when he was only nine moons old. Sootpaw accepted they were gone a lot easier than most thanks to Featherpaw being by his side every step of the way.
In time, Sootpaw learned his warrior name alongside his close friend. This marked the beginning of a new start at life. Sootpelt thrived to be the warrior Lichenclan deserved even if he wasn't much of a zealot about Starclan. He worked hard to learn his keep. He fought in a few unsavory redwoodclanners border skirmishs and best them even mentored one most of the unruly apprentice into in an esteem warrior. He prowess in battle given in turn gave him a mighty reputation. Often the mollies would swoon over the brute however he only had his eyes on one she-cat, Featherfoot. He courted for a while and they eventually became mates. He truly loved her and she loved him as much.
Sootpelt felt content with his life but after sometime Featherfoot wanted to a be mother. It would be moons before they were given change they being waiting for. Only one out a litter of six survived. A son who took looked after him and he could call his own. Featherfoot named him Leopardkit and devoted over the little one while Sootpelt would spend time with him as best he could to be a good father even if he wasn't around often. What he failed to notice was that his son was becoming a monster.
Sootpelt would remained distance watch over his son from afar when Leopardkit became an apprentice. He had his own duties to handle after all. The rumors of how pompous his son had come didn't sit well with him. One day, Leopardpaw had gotten too cocky, the senior warrior said enough was enough. Sootpelt pounced on his own son pinning him down to the ground effortlessly. Leopardpaw washelpless at his mercy and humiliated. The message was clear. Sootpelt put him into this world and he would never be afraid to take him out either. They hardly spoke or talk after that.
Featherfoot's death was a crushing blow. He hasn't been the same more or less closed in on himself. Leopardface did mourn for loss as he did. It was clear to Sootpelt then the tom was the son he once loved but a waste. Lichenclan losing the recent battle against Redwoodclan and find Leopardface has killed a warrior had only furthered the rift between them. The last reminder of Featherfoot has now become a cold blooded murder!
Sootpelt hopes someday that Lichenclan will change for the better but with mass confession lead by Minnowstar and punishment he had only seem to be getting worse for everyone. The respect he once has for his leader has been all but lost. He hopes Minnowstar's reign needs to end soon so Lichenlcan can be free.
