Hail Falling from Dark Clouds

**Hail Falling from Dark Clouds** is owned by **Whiskers**

**Hail Falling from Clouds** is a platinum silver tabby tom.

## Description

### Physical

His build isn't something expected of a prey-hunter, he looks much more like a tree-guard than he does an agile hunter. Hail is a thickly muscled feline with a semi-cobby stature, making him about average height when compared to an every-day tom. Perhaps he isn't the most graceful of hunters, but he makes up for this with brute strength that aids him in bringing down larger prey, or helping the other hunters defend themselves from predators. Hail comes with a broad chest and large set of paws, and a small pair of keen, triangular ears.

The tom's coat is rather unique, a pelt that can be spotted easily among other silver tabbies. His base is practically stark-white, a platinum silver of the brightest of shades. He is festooned with semi-grizzled coat-black mackerel tabby stripes, some of which are broken up into spots. The fur along Hail's spine is darker, spotted with fine black hairs. His fur is not at all uniform, and is surprisingly spiky despite its short length. No matter how much he tries to groom it, the tom always has awkward tufts. But the bed-head look only adds to his innocent charm, really.

### Personality

The tom is physically a burly tank, so why was he never made into a Tree-guard? Why, the tom had far too much of a gentle demeanor to him, one that the Stoneteller thought would ruin the "tough" aesthetic of most Tree-guards. The tom is rumored to be one of the best pair of ears and best shoulder to lean on in the entire tribe. He is faithful, patient, and loyal towards his tribemates, even if he does have a crude sense of humor from time to time. Overall, Hail is a very chummy guy- it's hard not to like him. It would be like turning to a good, loyal dog and trying to tell it off.

Hail's lovable exterior can be taken as something that is lazy, even if he does make good use for himself by bringing in impressive catches and helping the other prey-hunters handle any curious crocodiles. Hail's loyalty, however, rests among individuals and not quite the tribe as a whole. He can sometimes be found chatting with his "bros", loners found outside of the tribe. This act, of course, is a huge no-no, but that doesn't stop Hail. He might be an appreciable cat, but he can be hard-headed when he wants to be.

## History

### Background

Hail ended up being one of several kits accidentally born to the previous Stoneteller and an unnamed queen. He was the last kit born, but was far from being a runt. He was originally destined to become a tree-guard, but when the leader realized that his son was a complete softy, he became further disappointed, and was left but no choice but to make him a prey-hunter instead.

The tom didn't mind, even though he was upset that his father never showed him much love. He was a dedicated to-be that eventually completed his training and became a prey-hunter. Perhaps he wasn't the best, but he gave it his all. His sister was selected to be a tree-guard, but died after a wolf snagged her during a round of practice training. Hail lost the rest of his siblings to unexpected and unknown causes.
