SHADOWCLAN TEMP. LEADER AUDITIONS

[~*Speckles*~]

Okay, Puddleclaw(RPed by Brownie) is going to move up to leader since Chaosstar isn't leader anymore but until then, we need a temporary leader and so I decided it would be best to have auditions for it.

FORM:

Character's name:
RPing Expample 1:(goes out on patrol or hunt, nothing exciting happens)
RPing Exapmple 2:(badgers attack camp)

Be sure to make these long with full sentances and correct grammer and spelling. The more time you spend on these the better.

Character's name: Venomheart/star


RPing Example 1:
Venomstar woke up in the early morning sun. She got up and stretched her legs with pleasure, then headed out of camp to go hunting. She saw a crow land on a tree in a low branch. She licked her lips and without a sound, jumped into the air and slashed at the crow with her fore paw. The crow fell to the ground with a small thud. Venomstar buried the crow and would come back for it later. She headed on and found a mouse, nibbling on some seeds. Venomstar hid behind a bramble bush and when the time was right, she leaped out from her cover and swatted the mouse into the air, and bit it in the neck. The mouse lay hanging dead in her jaws. She set it down and buried that too. Her pitch black pelt rippled in the soft breeze as she searched on for more prey. Then, another mouse scurried by. Venomstar, using her speed, raced after the mouse and leaped on top of it, killing it with her weight. She lifted herself from the ground and picked up the two mouses and the crow, then headed back to camp.


RPing Example 2:
Venomstar awoke to screeching and yowling outside of her den. Venomstar got up as quickly as she could and raced outside of her den, her black paws thudding hard on the ground. The first thing she saw was Badgers. Venomstar hissed with frustration. She then leaped onto a badger that was swiping its claws at a queen and her kits. She bit it on the neck and raked its back, warm blood puring out of the wounds. The badger snarled in anger and threw Venomstar off. Venomstar leaped to her feet in just a quick second and raced back toward the badger. The badger turned toward her and Venomstar swiped at its face until it was a bloody mess. The badger retreated along with another badger. "Are you alright?" Venomstar asked the queen and her kits. The queen nodded, staring at her leader with fright. Venomstar turned around and raced toward yet another badger who caught her in the leg with it's paws. Venomstar hissed with rage and clawed it across the belly and bit it in it's foot. The badger threw its massive paw at her but with her speed she quickly moved out of the way and jumped onto it's back. She stuck her claws into it's back tightly as she bit and tore at its neck. Venomstar jumped off of it's back and the badger retreated along with the rest of them. They had won.

Character's Name: Dankheart [star]

Role-play example #1:

"Panthertail, Foxface, Sorrelpelt. I want you to go on hunting patrol." Dankstar strolled out of his den in time to catch his deputy's words; the lean black tom took a moment to stretch, then headed over to the newly named patrol. "I will join them," he meowed to his deputy, smiling amiably- today he was in a good mood, rather than his normally stormy one. "I havn't hunted for a while." he turned to the patrol. "Please lead." he wasn't really to talking to any of the three cats in particular; he was simply addressing them as a whole and leaving them to deal with who would go first. Panthertail hurried out of the camp, Sorrelpelt and Foxface falling in line. Dankstar made no effort to catch up or even take the lead; rather, he fell in behind all of them and padded along as if he was just another warrior. "How about here?" they were near Shady Creek, and Dankstar could hear the sound of water as he voiced the question to the rest of the patrol. Without waiting for an answer, he continued "Good. Panthertail, Foxface, you two hunt together. Sorrelpelt, you may join me or hunt by yourself. Gather here at sun-high." without waiting to see if Sorrelpelt followed him, Dankstar padded away, scenting the air as he went. Stopping a short distance away from where he had originally been, Dankstar lowered himself down, then slowly padded forward, his attention fixed on a small mouse that had just emerged from its hole. He stopped; readied himself... a black bird shot out of the trees, screeching a warning. The mouse looked up, saw him, started to dart back towrads its hole- 'Oh no you don't!' the leader of ShadowClan leaped, his claws sinking into the mouse, just below the neck, not quite killing it. Dragging it back towrads him, he dug his claws into the mouse's neck, quickly killing it. Standing up, he carried his fresh-kill back to the place where they were supposed to meet later, and began to bury it. Pausing, he lifted his head- was that badger he could smell drifting over the ThunderClan border, or just a stale scent? To be on the safe side, Dankstar called the rest of the patrol. "We're going back to camp," he mewed. "I think we have hunted enough today." When the patrol arrived at camp, Dankstar consulted his deputy about the smell of badger. The deputy, however, had noticed nothing strange... thinking it must have been a stale scent, Dankstar took out another hunting patrol, this time keeping a eye out for any more of the scent.

Role-playing example #2:
It had been a while since Dankstar had noticed the badger scent on his hunting patrol, and since then, he had stored the memory inside him, remembering and keeping an eye out for anything, but not mentioning it to his deputy or Clan. Dankstar worked like this; he was solitary and alone, and needed no one. Perhaps it was because his mother had left when he was young, staying long enough for his eyes to open and her to tell him his name was Dank Heart, but other than that, Dankstar knew nothing of his history...

He had been found by a ShadowClan patrol, and since he was obviously none of their kits or a kit of another Clan, they let him live in ShadowClan... temporarily. The young Dank Heart soon showed that he was a good worker, however, and despite his accent, which sounded like a kind of velvet softening and he tended to slur his 'r's' when he was upset, the Clan accepted him, finally giving him his warrior name, Dankheart, and skipping over the apprentice and kit name's. When the old deputy retired, Dankheart was chosen in his place, and then went on to become leader when the old leader died. Dankstar has led the Clan for four moons, and despite the short time they trusted him explicitly...

Dankstar blinked, shook his head. He had been dreaming, laying in front of his den, about his history. Though the Clan seemed to accept him for having such a shady past, Dankstar still had doubts, and in his 30 moons he wished to put such doubts aside. He closed his eyes; began to drift off again... "RATS!!!" Dankstar's eyes flew open. Foxface, a young she-cat, came tearing into camp, her eyes wide and staring, her fur fluffed to its maximum. Leaping to his feet, Dankstar asked no questions, instead tearing out of the camp entrance. And indeed there were rats. Many rats. Small black ones, large brown ones, each with eyes that seemed to glow, even in the sunlight... Dankstar snarled as he saw the dead body of a cat flung carelessly aside. Hazelpaw. An apprentice made yesterday, given to Foxface. Dankstar remembered the apprentice's smiling face beaming up at him, then the glow in Foxface's eyes as she received her first apprentice... He let out a screech that was more like a roar, flinging himself upon the nearest rat and clawing it so viciously that it was dead in seconds. Before the rest of the rats could attack, Dankstar killed one... two... three... four... five more. But now the rats were rallying, closing in on the vicious black tom in their midst, threatening to overwhelm him... another screech, but not from Dankstar. He peered out, trying to see through the writhing mass of rats enveloping him, in time to see Foxface and Puddleclaw lashing out, trying to reach him... a mighty blow, and Dankstar heaved himself out of the rat hill. A thin film of red mist had covered his eyes; he could not tell if who he clawed and scratched was friend or foe, and if he could, he could not have prevented himself from dealing death. Suddenly, all went still. Dankstar continued to lash out, but realized something was wrong when he felt no bodies, no resistance... the red haze over his eyes disappeared, and returned to their normal shade of cold amber. He was standing in a circle of rats, with slain ones littered on the ground around him... the crowd in front of him parted, to reveal a copy of himself walking delicately through the rat bodies. As the copy got closer, Dankstar was able to make small differances seperating him and this unknown cat. A small speck of white here, a mangled ear there... Dankstar heard the small intake of breath from somewhere behind him as the cat became apparant to the other member's of ShadowClan.
"You fight admirably." The stranger's voice, like his eyes, were cold and hard, each word pronouced with a kind of vicious clarity. But Dankstar reeled back in shock as if this cat had hit him, but not with words; he had his accent!
"I see that you are well."
Dankstar stepped forward again, determined to stand up to this usurper, though the words he had just spoken had shocked him; it sounded as if this cat had known him for several years. "I am Dankstar, leader of ShadowClan." he spoke, meeting the cold, arragont gold gaze of his opponent. "Dankstar? Is that what you're called now?" the cat let out a peal of laughter, so harsh in the quietness. "Dankstar! And who am I?" the cat spoke in a mocking, jeering tone now, and Dankstar knew who he was, for his manner was so like his own... "You are my brother." There was silence as Dankstar proclaimed these words; everyone was shocked by this revelation, but his brother simply looked amused and arragont again. "Correct!" he mewed. "I am Dark Soul. Son of Crow Flight and Small Moon. Brother of Dank Heart and Black Sun. And you?" Dankstar felt tired, beaten- his past had come back to haunt him. "I am Dank Heart," he proclaimed. "Son of Crow Flight and Small Moon. Brother of Dark Soul and Black Sun. But I am also Dankstar, leader of ShadowClan." the last words' were spoke with ringing finality; his confidence restored, Dankstar glared triumphantly at his brother. Dark Soul's eyes narrowed. "Very well. I assume that that is your choice also?" Dankstar bowed his head. "It is." Dark Soul smiled pityingly. "Then I shall leave for now. It seems foolish to fight now that they know we are brothers." Dankstar said nothing, just continued to look into the gold eyes, so similar to his amber ones. "I will wait, though, brother..." Dark Soul continued. "I will wait as long as it takes... for you belong to a family as old as the hills itself, with an code of honor that is older still. I can see you are not prepared. But I will wait..." and with these words still hanging in the air, Dark Soul turned and vanished into the shadows. With a great squeaking and pattering, the rats who had fought followed, melting back into the shadows after their master as quick as they had come. Dankstar lowered him head, exhausted. Turning, and speaking to no one, he walked back into camp, straight into his den, and collapsed on his nest made of moss, staring at the side of the wall. For his brother would wait. And it sounded like he would even kill ShadowClan to get to himself, Dankstar, in the end.

[[I have tried to talk a bit about his personality, appearance, and history in here. If it doesn't make sense, its because you need to read one of those three things. Thanks,

Character's name:Deathstar

RPing Expample 1:As the sun began to reach the highest spot in the sky Deathstar padded out of his den. The large black tom padded out and into the center of the ShadowClan camp, drawing his golden paw to his ear. The young leader looked around "Panterstrike,Butterflywings and Swiftfoot come here" he yowled. As the cats gathered from every direction he waited patiently. "We are going on the Sunhight patrol so come on" his voice strict as he padded off toward the Camp entrance with the three shecats in towe(?) The Leader decided that he would check the ThunderClan border first, he didnt trust those cats very much and knew that they felt the same about his Clan. But as they walked along the border all was clear and they headed along the river bank off towards the RiverClan border, thats were the Leader caught scent of a apprentice that had mistakenly crossed the border chasing prey. But that didnt bother Deathstar, he loved apprentice and kits becasue they were so eager to learn. Deathstar sent the three shecats back to the camp so that he could just relax in the sunlight as the wind blew through his long black fur. Not soon after did the shecats set off did their leader follow, he had to return to the Clan no matter how much he wanted to relax.

RPing Exapmple 2: Deathstar had been in his den talking to some of the senior warriors when a patrol of cats came bolting into the ShadowClan camp. The Leader and his warriors came running out of his den btu by the time they reached the cats a large band of badgers came hurtiling in. The young ShadowClan leader turned to the cats he had just been talking with, his eyes full of fear "Get the queens, kits and elders out of here" he yowled and turned back to the choas in the camp. All he saw was groups of cats attacking the badgers, some getting thrown across the camp and others getting shredded by the badgers massive claws. Deathstar heard a yowl from behind him, it was coming from his apprentice, Jackelpaw, the black tom went running to the apprentices side, lifting his massive golden paw, Deathstar slash at the badgers throat a few times and killed the large foul beast. Once the badger fell Deathstar and Jackelpaw both went in different directions to help their clanmates. As the moon began to rise the remaining badgers retreated back to the forest. But they werent out of harms way yet, Deathstar and the warriors that weren't to badly hurt helped those baly wounded to the Med.Cats den and began to repare the damage to the camp. We've won but look what it has cost us the black leader though.

Name Brightstar

Rp1-Brightstar awoke from her short nap. She stretched her long, muscled legs and looked up at the roof of her den. She thought about the fresh kill. It had been surprisingly low for greenleaf. She walked out of her den and watched the kits play fighting. Someday they would be Shadow Clan apprentices. She couldn't wait ontill she coud call upon her warriors and give them their apprentice names. She glanced at the fresh kill pile. Two frogs lay there. She decided to hunt. She wasn't the best hunter in the clan, but every bit of fresh kill was needed. She walked out of camp all the way to the shady creek. She jumped on a frog and quickly took its life. She didn't have time to practice killing tecniques, the clan needed the prey. She caught two more frogs and a vole and took her kill back to camp. It wasn't much, but it would help. She dropped her catch on the pile and walked over to her den entrance. She was so proud of her clan. Shadow Clan was the best clan in the forest. They weren't so quick to let in kittypets like Thunder Clan. A breeze ruffled her long crimson fur. She couldn't be more happy.

Rp2- Brightstar was dreaming. A dream full of blood and fighting. Badgers were attacking the camp. She awoke to yowling and the stench of badger. Her dream was real! She rushed out of the den. She had to protect her clan mates! After all, they only had one life to lose, she had nine! She jumped on a badger that was trying to get into the nursery. She scratched at it's beady black eyes and ran her claws down it's striped pelt. The badger fought back though. She kicked it with her hind legs as hard as she could. The badger ran off. She ran to aid an apprentice that was faceing two badgers at once. She clawed one down it's face, making sure to get it's eyes in the process. Blood ran down into her eyes. She scored her claws down the badger's back and it squeled in pain. The badger then bit her tail and hung on. She spun around and bit it on the nose. The badger ran off to join the others that had been chased off. Brightstar looked around to see that there were only two badgers left. The clan surrounded them, and then attacked them as one. One ran off screaming. The other was killed quickly. She looked around to see the camp in ruins. Shadewhisker came to treat the crimson leader's wounds, but she waved him off. She wanted the other cats treated first. Her wounds could wait. She had a plan for rebuilding the camp. The nursury would be fixed first. Then the elders den. Then they would fix the apprentices den, and finally the warriors den. This would take a while to fix!

Okay, to make sure everyone understands, this is just for temporary leader. Brownie's charrie, Puddleclaw, has the right to move up and become leader since she is deputy right now.

[blondie13]

O.K.!

[--dankheart--]

I seemed to have missed that on my initial reading of the first post. Well. Thanks for pointing that out, Speckles. In that case, I will leave up my application for SC Leader, but be prepared to try out for deputy later.

[~*Speckles*~]

That is because I didn't put it in initially, but Brownie PMed me and pointed my mistake out.
Okay, I'm locking this thread, Dankstar is the temporary leader of ShadowClan! Congratulations! *shakes hand*
