quick description:
Maine coon; shaggy raven-black tom with silver-gray eyes.

description:
Ravenskull is a tall, muscular Maine coon. Although he is a bit skinnier than a Maine coon should be, he towers over most other cats, and his thick, shaggy pelt makes him look even more monstrous. His lean body is covered with tight muscles, and he has an uncanny ability to move like a ghost in the shadows of the forest.
Ravenskull's fur is a blanket of shadowy, raven-black. The thick fluff around his neck and tail is just a tiny bit lighter dark-gray than the rest of the black, but it's not really noticeable unless he's in a certain light. He has some scars lining his body, but not nearly as much as his brother, Spidercrawl. His eyes are a strange, metallic silver-gray as if the color had been drained from them before he was born. Many she-cats feel attracted to his dangerous "bad-boy" appearance, but he has never shown any personal interest to any cat except Wolfkit, and even that is a secret.

personality:
On the outside, Ravenskull is your typical dark and mysterious man. He's mostly quiet and hardly ever raises his voice. He always appears to be calm, reserved, and well-composed. He's all about duty and getting the job done without emotions getting in the way. His secretive nature and his "tall, dark, and handsome" looks make him the center of many she-cat's affections. However, no matter who is flirting with him, even if it's the most beautiful she-cat in all the clans, he never seems to show any interest.
Ravenskull has a secret hobby. He loves to collect bones, and especially skulls. He has a little collection not far from the northern border. For some reason they calm him down and help him to clear his mind. He's aware that if any other cat stumbled upon his collection, it would look extremely creepy. He can't help it. He finds skulls fascinating, especially bird skulls.
Another strange thing about Ravenskull is that he has a strange connection with ravens and crows. In fact, that's how he got his name. He was found mumbling to a raven near the nursery, pretending as if it could understand him and he was holding a perfectly normal conversation with it. Ever since, Ravenskull has always looked to the raven for guidance and he refuses to eat a raven, even if it's the only thing left in the fresh-kill pile.
Ravenskull was the kid that rebelled against his parents. He lost his mother early and his father was a piece of fox-dung. He refused to conform to his father's tyranny and cut off all contact with him not long after his father began to abuse him and his brother, Spidercrawl. Despite Ravenskull's hatred of his father, Beetlehorn left an ever-lasting impact on Ravenskull's brain. During his training with his father, Ravenskull showed great potential in being one of the most dangerous cats to ever walk the land. He killed little animals without remorse, unlike Spidercrawl, who always felt guilty about making their death's painful. Ravenskull took sadistic joy in torturing the live critters his father set before him. Spidercrawl tried to hide his disgust because he wanted his father's approval.
One day, it went too far for Ravenskull, and he almost killed his brother. Beetlehorn seemed to encourage him, but Ravenskull managed to stop himself and he began to realize the monster his father had made him into. He refused to speak to his father ever again. Since then, Ravenskull has harbored the most immoral and blood-chilling desires. He often has the urge to taste cat-blood, as he had tasted his brothers. He has yet to be in a serious battle, but he knows that if he got the scents of war in his brain, he wouldn't be able to stop himself from slaughtering every cat in his proximity.
Ravenskull refuses to get close to anyone because he is truly afraid he will turn against them at any moment. He tries to avoid his brother as much as possible, because Spidercrawl reminds him of Beetlehorn every time he lays eyes on him. It also makes him recall the horrible role he played in Beetlehorn's death.
Ravenskull has another secret. He is infatuated with Wolfkit, who also happens to be his cousin. He has been watching over her ever since her mother, Seashellheart (Ravenskull's aunt), died. He would do anything to protect her, but he forces himself to keep a safe distance away for fear of hurting her.

theme song:
Hello, Nightmare by A City Serene

history:
Ravenskull's mother was sickly queen named Dragonflysong. Only Ravenskull and Spidercrawl know that Dragonflysong's sister was Seashellheart, the wise old queen that only ever had one kit; Wolfkit. Spidercrawl couldn't care less about Wolfkit's well-being, but something within Ravenskull told him that it was his responsibility to watch over the orphan she-cat, who seemed to share her mother's unique view of the world.
When Ravenkit's mother died, their father, Beetlehorn, took over their up-bringing. He took them out into the forest, even though they were still too young, and began to train them to fight. When Ravenskull almost killed his brother, he refused to have anything more to do with Beetlehorn. He broke away from his father and his brother and focused on his training to become a warrior. He didn't make any close friends but earned the respect and admiration of his peers from his decent hunting skills and his superior fighting skills. He became a warrior before his brother. Although Ravenskull did notice something strange during Spidercrawl's apprenticeship, he never knew the details of his brother's relationship with the young WindClan she-cat, Butterflypaw.
