Name Progression/Earthpaw (Hollyfeather) - Earthrunner

Name Save Application for Earthstorm

Desired Name: Earthrunner

Reason for Change: All his life, he's been clumsy and through Blackstar's training, has learned to adapt even further to his disability without being favored for it. It'd be a warrior name he felt he would have earned and that he would be proud of.

Date of Application: 05/07/10

This application has been declined on behalf of Clan Leader Blackstar on 20 July 2010.

Reason: This is Kitsufox responding to this application in Blackheart's stead. I feel that the "Runner" prefix is inappropriate for a character who is physically unable to become more than moderately proficient at the skill. It's almost insulting (to both him and others) to tag him as a runner when he'll never be more than adequate in a clan filled with cats who excel at chase-type hunting.

If you would like to appeal this ruling, please post an explanation (in more detail) as to why you feel this decision should be reconsidered.
