PLEASE FORGIVE MY BLACK TONGUE. (october)

[SHADE. :D]

you try your hardest
to perfect your explanations
you lie until they've
run out of questions

octoberlies.

you can only move tom
as fast as forty three moons
who's in front of you serenityclan
and if you assume warrior

just like them
what good will it do
so find out for yourself
so your ignorance
will stop bleeding through

Octoberlies has a lithe, wiry frame. The classic warrior's body. His paws are averagely sized, and strong enough to support his lean body. They hide long, sharp claws the colour of ash. Octoberlies's legs are very long and wiry, with a sort of robotic strength about. They burst with stamina, allowing him to run for very long distances without getting too tired. They are also very good for pushing off an opponent. But in close combat, his legs sometimes get in his way. Octoberlies's shoulders are not particular pronounced, but they as hard as brick and very muscular. His body is so lean that he might look undernourished to the untrained eye. His tail is long and slim, cut across with ebony stripes. Octoberlies has a fairly handsome face, in a graceful sort of way. If he were human, his good looks could be called 'choirboy good looks'. His muzzle is slightly longer than the usual cat's, giving him a more angular face. His nose is a sharp triangle made of black material. His eyes are almond shaped, and quite narrow. They are pencilled around with ebony. The insides of the eyes are cerulean.

Octoberlies has short, thick fur. It is fairly ruffled and messy a lot of the time. It is not that he does not bother grooming himself, his fur just permenantly sticks up. His coat is the colour of ash. This colour covers his entire body, though thin black stripes stick out starkly against this plain hue.

only one thing
big enough to fill the boid
that's inside of you
it's just a breath away
you can breathe today

Octoberlies is a fairly friendly cat on the surface. He is chatty and makes jokes without meaning to. He sometimes accidentally makes his feelings clear without meaning too. For example, if he dislikes a cat, they will most likely know about it. Octoberlies has a fairly easy fuse, but his temper can make him say things he doesn't mean. He is the kind of cat who will have a huge argument with another, then be moping and sobbing about it the next moment. Octoberlies finds it hard to forgive, but he expects forgiveness whenever he does something wrong. He can be a bit of a hypocrite sometimes, and he doesn't really know the value of an apology. Octoberlies is very loving towards his family, though he has made many mistakes in his past that cannot be erased. Octoberlies does try to make amends for his mistakes, but he often wonders whether StarClan has specifically chosen to make him suffer. Finally, as his name suggests, Octoberlies is a very skilled liar. He can lie for seasons without any cat detecting his deception, though his lies always seem to land him in hot water.

so many lies
swirling all around you
you're suffocating
the empty shape in you
steals your breath

you're suffocating

Octoberkit was born to a she-cat named Kitecall. His father was a tom named Oasiscloak. He had two sisters by the names of Winterkit and Thymekit. Octoberkit had a happy kithood. He was a wild, outgoing little kit, whilst his sisters were self-respecting, dignified and polite. He often humiliated them in public without meaning to, and bugged them to play with them. This caused them to dislike him, but Octoberkit didn't mind too much, as he had other friends. It wasn't until his fourth moon, when he slipped out of camp, only to be found by Oasiscloak, that he discovered his talent for lying. He told his father that he had been taunted out of the camp by his sisters because they were annoyed at him for trying to get them to play. His parents believed him, and his sisters were punished. This cemented their hatred for Octoberkit.

The three kits were made apprentices together, but Octoberpaw felt nothing for them. As far as he was concerned, they did not exist. He was given to his father's sister, Quailstance, to train. He liked the gutsy she-cat, but he was often cheeky and disobedient to her. Because she was not a particularly strong character, she bent beneath Octoberpaw's personality. This just made him more adept at lying. Then, one afternoon, something happened that would change his life forever. He was ten moons old, nearly a warrior. Out hunting alone, he met a CloudClan apprentice named Butterflypaw who had strayed onto SerenityClan territory. It was a case of love at first sight, and the two youngster's liason left Butterflypaw pregnant.

No cat knew that her kit's were Octoberpaw's. He told her to lie, and say a rogue had forced himself on her. Because she said this, Butterflypaw was not even punished. When she went into labour, Butterflypaw dragged herself out into the forest where she gave birth to five kits. On patrol the next morning, Octoberpaw found her. She gave him one of her sons and one of her daughters. She then told him something that nearly killed him. She was ill. No cat knew what was wrong with her. All she knew was that she was going to die. They parted. Octoberpaw never saw his mate, or the other three kits in his litter again. He was devestated, and assumed a badger had got them, sensing his mate's disease. Octoberlies took his kits back to the camp, but on the way the she-cat died. When he reached the camp he realised. He was shocked at her sudden death. He quickly named her Hollykit, and buried her just outside of the camp.

He was left with one kit, who he gave to one of the SerenityClan queens. She named him Hyenakit. Octoberpaw was given his warrior name, Octoberlies, soon after. He was swayed, thinking that somebody had guessed his secret. Hyenakit grew up to be a bold, confident kit, like his father. He got on well with Octoberlies, though the skilled liar never told the kit that he was his father. Hyenakit was made an apprentice on his sixth moon. Octoberlies continued to watch him with pride, but he never admitted to Hyenapaw that he was, in fact, his father, and that his mother was a dead CloudClan apprentice. Hyenapaw was a eager, skillede apprentice and was quickly became a warrior. Octoberlies still did not tell the young tom who he was.

Octoberlies then met a she-cat named Snowflake. She did not seem to judge him for his lies. He liked her for that. After several moons of friendship and flirting, the two became mates. Snowflake quickly fell pregnant. Octoberlies told Hyenastrike of this. He was happy for the couple at first, but, in a burst of honesty and bravery, Octoberlies told the tom that he was his father. In rage, Hyenastrike fled, shocked and hurt that his father had lied to him for so long, and that he seemed to want Snowflake's kits, but he had never wanted him. Octoberlies tried and tried, but Hyenastrike refused to forgive him.

Recently, Snowflake gave birth to five kits. A cream and brown coloured she-cat named Kellykit. A tabby tom named Bambookit. Twin pale tabby's named Sealkit amd Sequioakit, and a dark tabby tom named Pythonkit.
