An older character of mine; I think I created him around 2009. He's my favorite Warriors fan character.

Heritage: His mother was a RiverClan warrior, while his father was a ShadowClan warrior. Once Blackheart's Clan found out about his forbidden love, they banished him from the territory and he is believed to have either died or ran far away from the lake territory. Skullpaw's mother, on the other hand, gave birth to only one kit, Skullkit. She died 2 moons later due to greencough.

History: (I tried making this as short as possible and for it to make sense, xD; it looks much prettier in my head)

Lakeripple, the medicine cat of RiverClan, received a prophecy concerning the future of RiverClan, and how it would be destroyed from the inside. He kept this prophecy to himself, not wishing to cause chaos in the entire Clan, until he could find out the one who'd bring the destruction. Skullpaw was born as a half-Clan cat only a moon later, although nobody in the Clan ever spoke to the kit about it, wanting to be forget about Sparklepelt's forbidden romance with a ShadowClan warrior. His mother died only two moons after he was born, and Skullpaw became adopted by a new queen, who had two kids by the names of Coalkit and Streamkit. He nearly drowned as a kit when he ventured out of the camp, thus beginning his fear of swimming/deep water.

He received Frogstep as a mentor, and he began his training as a RiverClan warrior. When he visited the medicine cat, Lakeripple saw a vision of the apprentice covered in blood, and immediately knew Skullpaw was the one in the prophecy. Lakeripple later revealed the prophecy to the apprentice, but Skullpaw denied he never would harm his Clan. Lakeripple wouldn't believe the cat, yet knew he couldn't tell the leader and expect Flowstar to believe the prophecy either. That night, a mysterious cat murdered the medicine cat, silencing him forever.

During the vigil, Skullpaw saw all too familiar gray hairs between Lakeripple's claw, and began to fear he was the one who killed Lakeripple. He ran away from the camp, followed by his friend, Streampaw. The two apprentices came too close to ShadowClan territory, and almost got attacked by a patrol before RiverClan warriors saved them. One of the ShadowClan warriors called Skullpaw a half-Clan cat, leading the apprentice to begin questioning his heritage. Flowstar eventually told the young cat, expecting him to begin hating the leader, but Skullpaw told him that he would never be disloyal to RiverClan. The Clan never found out the killer, although some suspected Skullpaw, but Flowstar denied this accusations.

Skullpaw's training grew tremendously; he learned advanced battle moves and how to hunt much earlier and quicker than most other apprentices, yet he couldn't explain how he figured these things out so fast. Skullpaw never told his mentor about reoccurant nightmares he had of killing his Clanmates, but always could feel deep within a deep hatred of Flowstar whenever he saw the leader. While fishing, he noticed his reflection wasn't him, but of another cat, which spoke to him that soon he'd kill every cat in RiverClan if that's what it took to get his revenge. He told this phenomenon to Flowstar, who explained to him the dark, blood-stained history of the previous deputy, Poisonfang, who's lust for battle caused the deaths of two warriors, including Flowstar's own brother. RiverClan eventually was forced to kill Poisonfang when he attacked the previous leader. Skullpaw wandered why Poisonfang chose to speak to him, and wandered if Poisonfang was planning his revenge on his previous Clan. Skullpaw began to believe the prophecy - that he'd be the one to destroy RiverClan - when Poisonfang revealed to Skullpaw that he resided within him.

StarClan revealed who the next medicine cat would be, as Lakeripple never chose an apprentice, relieving the worried Clan. Tensions soon grew between WindClan and RiverClan as a drought threatened both Clans prey, leading to many border raids and disputes between stolen prey. The WindClan leader grew desperate enough to raid the RiverClan camp when RiverClan kept denying stealing prey. During the battle, Frogstep died of severe wounds, while Streampaw was killed when a WindClan warrior accidentally broke her neck. This angered Skullpaw enough to where Poisonfang took possession of his body and ended up causing the death of the WindClan warrior, then attacking Flowstar. Both Clans stopped their battle when they saw Flowstar being attacked by an apprentice - and losing. Poisonfang wanted RiverClan to pay for killing him, and usurp the position as leader of the Clan.

StarClan cats intervened, however, and stopped the battle. Poisonfang then angrily blamed Lakeripple for the prophecy that destroyed his life, but Lakeripple merely stated that Poisonfang caused his own demise. The StarClan warriors then banished Poisonfang's spirit to the Dark Forest permanently, freeing Skullpaw from the former deputy's grasp. The RiverClan apprentice slipped into a deep depression when he realised he caused the deaths of two cats, but Flowstar reassured him that StarClan would not punish him because it was all Poisonfang's doing.

Skullpaw finished his training and received his warrior name, Skullfang, and lived the rest of his life as a strong RiverClan warrior.

That...took forever to write and it really doesn't make much sense. I don't expect much people - or anyone - to read it anyway, xD.
