Appearance Details
Antlerstreak is a large (think Maine coon) tawny-brown tabby tom with amber eyes, a ripped ear, and a scar on his jawline.
He has long, shaggy fur, which is prone to getting dirty easily, so he tries his best to groom when he can.
He also has a tuft of fur on his head that kinda sorta resembles a mullet.
Antlerstreak is a young cat, only now reaching his mid-20’s. He’s handsome in a dark kind of way, though his eyebrows are often knitted into a pensive expression.
He finds it hard to smile, but he’ll offer a half-smile in an attempt to look cheerful, but he’s easy to see through.
His shredded ear and jaw scar are from a fight he had with a rogue during his late apprenticeship. (A fight he won, mind you.)
Personality
Basic
Generally, Antlerstreak is a nice cat. He’s a gentleman, and he respects those around him, but he’s a major flirt, and he gets into/instigates squabbles rather easily as he’s a rather prickly dude.In-Depth
Positive-
Antlerstreak is very in-tune with other cats’ feelings, and he understands when someone is giving certain cues and he knows how to respond to said cues.
As a kit, he was taught by his mother that he should respect and treat other cats the way he would want to be, so he grew up understanding common-decency.
Neutral-
Antlerstreak, although he can understand others’ emotions quite well, finds it hard to express his own feelings, as his very traditional father taught him that real toms weren’t crybabies.
Despite his raising, Antlerstreak is a major flirt. He goes off of attraction more than he goes off of actual romantic interest, and he will often hop from relationship to relationship in a matter of moons,
Negative-
Due to him being stunted emotionally, Antlerstreak only knows how to really express one emotion- anger. He often takes his anger out on those he’s close to, though he wouldn’t dare hurt anyone he loves, no matter how angry he is.
He also gets upset easily, so it’s sometimes like walking on eggshells when one is conversing with him,
Antlerstreak is a bit of a braggart, as well, though it isn’t as much of a problem.
Backstory
Kithood
Antlerkit is born to Littledeer and Featherbounce alongside his sister Doekit.
Antlerkit and Doekit explore the camp and play with not a care in the world, always coming up with new things to do and pranks to pull on the Warriors and Apprentices.
Antlerkit, as strong and fast as he is, catches the attention of Quailstone, who asks Lionstar to make Antlerkit her apprentice.Apprenticeship
Antlerpaw is apprenticed to Quailstone, and Doepaw to Ambermoth.
Antlerpaw’s apprenticeship is uneventful for the most part, as he isolated himself from the rest of the clan, not making many friends, but not ending up in the middle of any conflicts, either.
One day, in his later apprenticeship, while hunting with Quailstone, the Mentor-Apprentice pair stumble upon a sleeping rogue, who wakes up and attacks them. Antlerpaw fights valiantly, and although his ear is ripped and he is slashed across the jawline, he wins the fight and chases off the rogue.
As Quailstone is off relating the story of Antlerpaw’s success with tackling the rogue problem, Doepaw approaches Antlerpaw with some news.
Featherbounce and Littledeer have split up, Featherbounce is planning on leaving the clan, and Featherbounce is wanting Antlerpaw and Doepaw to join him.
Antlerpaw thinks for a moment and tells Doepaw that he will not be leaving RiverClan, as it is his home.
Doepaw leaves with Featherbounce.Warriorhood
Antlerpaw becomes Antlerstreak at the age of fifteen moons.
Soon after Featherbounce and Doepaw left RiverClan, Littledeer got sick with an unknown disease, and no-one could find out how to cure it.
Antlerstreak did the best he could to help his ailing mother, but on the day that Antlerstreak turned twenty-three moons old, Littledeer succumbed to the sickness, which leeched her of all her energy and body weight.
Despaired and angered by his mother’s death, Antlerstreak stormed into the outskirts to let out all his frustrations. So blinded was he by his grief, Antlerstreak almost crashed into a young ginger she-cat who was in his path.
Antlerstreak apologized to the she-cat and introduced himself to her. She introduced herself as Briar, and Antlerstreak was instantly taken by her.
Antlerstreak and Briar would meet in secret for a moon or so before, one day, Briar told Antlerstreak that she was expecting his kits, and that they would be born in a moon or two.
Antlerstreak broke off his courtship with Briar after that, but despite no longer being romantically involved with her, Antlerstreak refused to let himself abandon Briar and his kits. So, only twenty-five moons old, Antlerstreak was now set to become a father.
A few days later, Antlerstreak met Foggywillow, a pretty ThunderClan Warrior, and he was in a relationship with her for a little while before he decided it was time to break things off with her on good terms, as he knew that he wouldn’t be good for her in the long run.
On November 23rd, 2022, Antlerstreak was making his way through the forest with a mouse for Briar. Shortly after he set out, he began to hear yowling, and only as he got closer, did he realize that the yowling cat was Briar giving birth. Antlerstreak abandoned the mouse and ran to Briar’s den, but he was too late. Briar died less than a minute after Antlerstreak arrived, her last words being a plea for the lighter of the tom kits to be named Stonekit. Antlerstreak named the other kits Briarkit and Antkit.
At a meeting, shortly after the birth of Antlerstreak’s kits, Antlerstreak was given an apprentice, Bluebellpaw. He took her on a tour of the territory after the meeting, and gave her a few battle tips.
Antlerstreak meets Applemoon while out to mark the border with WindClan one evening, and he surmises to himself that he thinks she’s rather pretty.
A moon or so after meeting Applemoon, Antlerstreak’s son, Stonekit, was given the honor of becoming RiverClan’s new medicine cat, as Fawnlight had been badly injured. Antlerstreak congratulated his son, but couldn’t help but feel like Stonepaw was much too young.
Walking alone, Antlerstreak was killed by a roaming loose dog.
