EmberClan
Silverstripe
An odd warrior. Far too bubbly, and wasteful of energy in all the wrong things as far as Grayflame is concerned. Despite her insistence on befriending him and her misplaced concern for him due to his lack of friends, the deputy fails to find her overly irritating, curious about how such a lax cat with such naive views on life has made it so long in a world as unforgiving as theirs. Especially with her abysmal fighting technique.
Sunchaser
During a battle with an ocelot that was making its home in EmberClan territory, Grayflame's life would have been lost if not for Sunchaser being in the right place at the right time. At great risk to their own life, the warrior went into the fray, ensuring the deputy was able to escape with his life. Despite his inability to understand this selfless sacrifice and usually thinking of warriors like these as little more than fodder for war so that the great could survive, he finds himself conflicted now, his near death experience shaking him to the core.
Nettlepaw
A quiet, not entirely together apprentice that at the very least seems to have a slight penchant for learning. Catching the deputy's gaze only because of his tardiness to his own reassignment, Grayflame has since offered training to the tom, noting a lack of natural gift when it comes to battling and little else. Hopes the tom will be able to grow into himself as the moons go by and can become a competent warrior for EmberClan.

+Personality+
Attributes

Intelligent
Despite his large size and physical strength, Grayflame above all else values his intelligence and his forethought. Brute strength and the fear of being brutally defeated in combat keeps anyone alive for only so long, but intellect allows for not just survival, but for him to thrive. In spite of his confidence in his ability to outthink most opponents, the tom is careful to not let it get to his head. Overconfidence breeds carelessness, and he has seen cats he had the utmost respect for dead due to a lack of thinking things through due to that very overestimation blinding them to the very real dangers their actions brought upon themselves. While his quick thinking is usually used in combat, he tries to use logic in every facet of his life, proving for a stable if perhaps stern and rather boring warrior with few friends.

Serious
Survival is the single most important thing in Grayflame's life. Life is cruel, merciless, and oftentimes unfair. As such, he has no time for nonsense. Unwilling to partake in anything he considers a waste of time, the tom is never seen in a playful light, if anything his stern expression usually showing signs of disappointment in the face of those who would partake in what he considers little more than a waste of time. With the exception of kits and elders, he expects cats to be in constant vigilance, taking care of the clan first and foremost to the best of their abilities.

Responsible
If one intends to reach a ripe old age, then one must have a plan and stick to it. That is, at the very least, the philosophy Grayflame takes with how he handles life. He treats his task with utmost care, no matter how small, and sees them through to the end. His lack of patience for silliness and playful actions boils lesser still when on the job, actively snapping at cats he is charged to work with if they refuse to pull their own weight, keeping them in mind as little more than fodder to die at the paws of their enemies so that the more fruitful, useful members of the clan can thrive. While his overzealousness for everything to be taken care of with the highest of attentions, he is hardly the favored cat to go on patrols with. Gratefully for his clanmates, he is always willing to divide and conquer during said patrols so as to not hinder each other with pointless bickering over work morals.

Amoral
Only the strong and the smart make it in life. That is fact that Grayflame adheres to in all aspects of his day to day living. Survival taking the forefront of his decision making to a fault. The tom is just as likely to save a clanmate as he is to ditch him for dead. The only thing that takes any relevance in his decision making is what ensures his safety and his livelihood in the end. Despite this rather gray shaded way of dealing with things, the tabby is never wicked or with malicious intentions in any choice he makes. Never going out of his way to harm a clanmate, or even considering how to further hurt them. Life is simply a cruel mistress. A game that they all play to win, and it is best to go with the flow of fates and accept reality for what it is than drown with honor and ideals that get you nowhere.

Domineering
Despite his usually cool, focused manner of thinking, there is a certain degree of arrogance and aloofness when it comes to Grayflame. He doesn't just believe himself to be one of the top warriors in EmberClan, he knows it. This arrogance makes it so he refuses to yield to any one warrior in the clan, being dominant and openly scoffing at attempts to make him submissive. While this attitude will never extend to higher ups, knowing his place within the clan, the silver tom refuses to become subservient to anyone who shares a rank with him.
