Character Name: guavacloud
Age in Moons: 43 moons
Rank Applying For: jungleclan deputy
Why Does Your Character Fit the Role?: guavacloud would fit the role of deputy well for a couple reasons- but the foremost being that he is known to be an intelligent individual. he excels at strategy and planning, looking at every angle of a problem with a creative eye. he's thoughtful in more than one way- as he's known to get along fairly well with cats from all walks of life. he has a diplomatic streak that makes him much prefer civil discussion over conflict. this isn't always a strong suit, since it can make him seem weak-willed in the face of an enemy, but he's become something of a pacifist as he grows older. he would choose peace over dominance any day.
however, the flip side of this part of guavacloud is his opinionated attitude. he knows he's a clever cat and he has a tendency to feel that he's always right. he's poor at keeping his mouth shut when he has something to say, and on top of that he's rather stubborn about it too. he's no stranger to disagreements, but this is likely how he was about to develop a knack for working things out peacefully rather than relying on tempers flaring.
one reason that guavacloud would be chosen to become jungleclan's next deputy is the fact that his even-tempered mannerisms can quell ivystar's occasionally hot, blunt temper, while his intelligence and knack for strategy compliments hers. they would work well together as a team, though his stubborn streak can certainly make it a challenge at times.
over everything, guavacloud would do anything for his clan. he's a noble warrior who would lay down his own life in a heartbeat for the wellbeing of his clanmates.
[here's a summary-
good: intelligent/creative & diplomatic
bad: stubborn & adverse to conflict]
Roleplay Sample:

large glowing eyes blinked open, peering owlishly into the pre-dawn gloom. around him were many piles of fur, sweetly rising up and down as the other cats continued to slumber in the warriors den. nests were separated further than usual, everyone trying their best to avoid so much as brushing pelts with one another. even in the coolest hour, it was far too humid for touch. he'd had dreams of swimming along his normal hunting paths through the forest rather than simply walking- the air felt just as thick in waking.

his mind had begun turning quite some time ago- sleeping restfully had never been guavacloud's strong suit. opening his eyes at last felt like finally giving up on sleeping. may as well get the day going. as he stood, the big tom arched his back in as delicate of a stretch as he could muster. he certainly didn't mean to rouse anyone at this hour. the side-eyes would be unbearable. he carefully picked his way around nests to exit the den, pleasantly surprised by a soft breeze that greeted him out in the clearing of camp. it caused the leaves all around to swish and rustle and after the stiff stuffiness of the den it sounded like such a beautiful morning song.

if I leave right now, I could make it back in time to see the dawn patrol go, he weighed his options. he wasn't assigned dawn patrol, but he didn't want to raise suspicions by being gone when his clanmates woke. the only option was to sit around and be useless, wishing he was still sleeping. noting that, he trotted out of camp.

guavacloud looked up, noticing that the stars were just beginning to fade. hints of warm color prying through the canopy. it was a cloudless twilight in spite of the occasional soft breeze. he tried not to get his hopes up about the weather turning any time soon. countless birds would begin their cacophony within the hour, and then he would have to head back. until then, the big ginger held his body low to the ground, treading lightly along barely-there paths worn by moons of jungleclan paws. gauvacloud allowed his senses to hone in on his environment, chasing his busy morning thoughts away with the scent of several mice in his area.

ears pricked up, the tom's dark brown nose twitched a bit. his jaw parted. everything but his gaze had pinpointed one small rodent rooting around in the undergrowth several paces away. confidently, guavacloud prowled that way to land a swift pounce and bite, and dropped it into a divet he dug in the earth for later retrieval.

some time later, as the he made his way deeper into the forest catching what he could and cursing any misses, guavacloud suddenly heard a scream overhead. after the welcome quiet, it startled a swear out of him. of course it was just a monkey- he swore he could imagine it cackling at his sudden fright as it dashed gracefully away, branch to branch. as if this were a signal to every being in the jungle, the trees came alive with noise. songs and screeches alike ringing and echoing, guavacloud knew it was time to head back.

he picked up his several successful grabs from his little solo hunt and trotted briskly back to the camp, pleased with himself to have grabbed a few clanmates some breakfast in the very least. not such a bad start to the day.

Other Info: almost every high rank I've ever filled has been a deputy, which then sometimes ends up as a leader. I'd consider myself a deputy enthusiast. it's a good rank. feels important, not too important.
