Overview
Redcress was raised with his rogue group in constant war, strength was encouraged and expected. Those who hesitated to kill never survived long enough to face the consequences. He wanted deeply to become someone his mother, the rogue leader, could be proud of… but the sickly warrior was not able to provide the strength his clan needed.
After the fall of his tyrannical group, Redcress set out on his own. He carries the guilt on his shoulders, where a scar, proof of his courage, is hidden under a hide brace. He wears a leaf-wrapped pouch hung at his side, full of herbs and flowers he took a liking to. While still amateurish at medicine, he’s trying his best and picking up techniques from those who welcome him.
Personality
Positive traits
- Kindhearted
- Observant
- Pacifist
Negative traits
- Anxious
- Weak-willed
- Self Depricating
Redcress is naturally gentle and kind-hearted, if not a little air-headed. Rather than approach others first, he prefers to stick to the sidelines and observe. The sensitive tom sees reassurance in the beauty of life, often finding himself going on sentimental spiels to anyone willing to lend an ear. From a young age, he always wanted to figure out what his purpose in life was but, alas, his lack of confidence keeps him from pursuing his query.
Frequently finding himself on the receiving end, Redcress sympathizes strongly with anyone hurt or in danger, often trying to help or rescue them despite himself. Unlike his usual overthinking, this is done on instinct. His insistence on others' lives can go too far, to the point where he has little to no self-preservation. In general, Redcress prefers to avoid combat; always doing his best to talk his way out of any altercation and distance himself from the aggressor. Despite this, he will fight tooth and nail to defend those he cares about.
Story
Redcress began traveling in order to find his sister, wanting to find the only family he had left. He picked up medicine because it connected him to her, though, as moons passed he forgot his original purpose. Redcress now hops from territory to territory, meeting new cats and picking up new medical techniques. He’s still hoping to find a purpose.
Early Life
Redcress was born to the leader of the Unforgiven, a rogue group who slaughtered the previous clan in order to take over the moor. He was raised alongside his twin sister who aimed to be the healer. He admired her greatly and depended on her while his mother neglected them. He became sick at only 4 moons, confined to the medicine den where he witnessed the healers treat the victims of the war. His mother rarely checked on him, he was determined to get better so he could prove his strength.
He would not have to wait long. Once the young cat became an apprentice, he was immediately thrust into battle. It was constant and impartial; Redcress had gone through two mentors by the time he became a warrior. One left him with a broken shoulder; their training had gone too far.
Adulthood
Once he became a warrior, Redcress was desperate to prove himself to his group. He was incredibly reckless in battle: taking on warriors twice his size; refusing to fall back when he was wounded; using dishonorable moves. His sister, not the sole healer of the group, was constantly worrying over him. She would spend hours waiting for him to return, waiting for the day he wouldn’t.
After their mother died, the siblings sat down to discuss their future. Redcress’ sister knew the two had to leave: they would die if they didn’t, she knew firsthand what their fate was. But Redcress was too stubborn, he wanted to be something. The two parted ways, apart for the first time. Redcress struggled after her departure, thrusting himself into his warrior duties to keep busy.
Months into the war and amidst the fighting, a horrible fire spread throughout the territory. It surrounded the camp and cats went mad attempting to flee. Many didn’t make it out. Redcress could only watch as the camp burned down and his group fell apart. He was useless, he could do nothing to help. Horrified, both at the scene at his own incompetence, he fled.
