BOARSTAR of AMBERCLAN
63 MOONS • LEADER
TOM • HETEROSEXUAL
SHORT DESCRIPTION
a robust ginger tabby tom with yellow eyes.
PERSONALITY
- AFFECTIONATE: at his core, boarstar is a good hearted cat. however, due to the multiple layers and ambiguity of his personality, it hinges on the nature of the interaction to gain a definitive impression of him and with his clanmates, he can be warm. amberclan is his family, if they can spend their one life, he'll spend his.
- OVER PROTECTIVE: this trait stems heavily from how affectionate he can be. while he isn't over protective over every cat in his clan, boarstar has a tendency to be with family. he never had any siblings born in his litter but bluelily and branchtail gave him many older ones, allowing them to pass that trait onto him.
- HOT HEADED: in the face of the other seven clans, boarstar is hot headed. it’s when amberclan’s pride, is insulted, and his own, or accusations are thrown does boarstar have the reputation for being grouchy and rough with the cat that spoke them. at gatherings, he has strongly worded opinions that solidify the reputation.
- STERN: again, in the face of the other seven clans, boarstar is stern. sternness comes into his personality in front of the other clans and amberclan, because while he can allow things to slide by, breaking the warrior code isn't and will be handed out with punishments; which they may end up being a little too strong.
- DISTRUSTFUL: this trait is strongly used for boarstar. he’s highly distrustful of amberclan’s neighbors, whether it be from the fact territory is meager between all eight of them or that he can’t stand the way they ruffle his fur... sometimes, it's joked to be even their scent. boarstar is highly private because of this as well.
- STABLE: one of the qualities that help boarstar be such a strong leader is that he’s a very stable minded. he can be a strong shoulder to lean on in hard times with amberclan, a good cat to speak with or someone to speak to. after all, he is the leader. if safety isn't too big of a worry in battle, boarstar tends to lead well.
- SCRUPULOUS: diligent, thorough, and extremely attentive to detail is boarstar. the tom is careful with the things he does, able to point out flaws in something before many other cats can. however, this can tend to hold amberclan back. boarstar likes to do everything thoroughly, even holding cats back because of it.
- STRATEGIST: boarstar is a great strategist, willing to spend all night coming up with a plan to save amberclan from their foes if it comes down to it. it doesn't matter if it involves attacking another clan or making sure a lizard doesn't get away, boarstar often has a plan for every action that he does; overdone, much?
- PROUD: very proud of himself and what amberclan is today, boarstar may seem like he has something crawling under his fur when the strong persona he has stuck up for amberclan has fallen only because he’s worked so hard on it. this makes boarstar a difficult tom to ally with unless it really is in their best interest.
- LIAR: boarstar is an incredible liar in the faces of the other clans. say an apprentice had, say, accidentally killed a piece of prey on another clan's side of the border and the ‘paw’s scent was there, boarstar would continue to lie through his teeth even if it would cause a variety of problems for amberclan in the future.
HISTORY
- since she was an apprentice, bluelily had wanted to give her clan the best thing she could: kits. however, the only trouble would be to find herself a mate. lucky for her, a ginger tabby tom of the name branchtail and only a few moons older had a crush on the dark blue-gray she-cat. within a few moons, branchtail and bluelily successively announced they were mates and under a small amount of time, they were set to be parents. the two cats were destined to be good parents, both naturally sweet and supportive, a reason why they meshed so well together, and with bluelily’s skills with kits, it wasn’t a surprise to the clan in the end that the parents had many litters together.
- with her getting up in her years, bluelily’s litters eventually slowed into one final litter before she would retire from birthing and stay in the nursery with inexperienced queens. in that litter, bluelily birthed only a son – a both equally stocky and fluffy ginger tabby of the name boarkit. as boarkit continued to grow, his name became more prominent and obvious; the kit was stocky with wide shoulders, always charging around like the elders tales of the large animal. under the care of his mother, an experienced queen by many seasons, boarkit never got into much trouble and if he did, he’d always be reprimanded and shaped into the tom he turned into.
- when boarkit was finally six moons, bluelily was almost saddened to see her and branchtail’s last kit leave the nest but with the senior warrior’s promise to still be around her and continue to be mates, a kind-hearted joke really, bluelily was happy to clean her son for his apprentice ceremony. that afternoon, boarkit became boarpaw and was apprenticed under a raspy, aging she-cat of the name sandthroat. despite of her aging body, sandthroat still had her wits and the ability to outsmart an apprentice in his first weeks of training. however, boarpaw began to grow and easily meet sandthroat’s thin frame and her movements, outmatching his mentor in no time and becoming a smart young tom.
- during his eleventh moon in an invasion over a dispute that seemed kittenish as the years continued on, boarpaw was able to prove himself with the border patrol that had found signs of the clan on their grounds until the rest of amberclan was able to come to the rescue. although he had earned a few nicks in his ears and scratches on his nose, boarpaw couldn’t be prouder; he’d foughten well, his clanmates had told him. so well, in fact, he was made a warrior with his fighting skills accentuated by his suffix: boarstrike. in later conversations with sandthroat, she’d never seen such a sharp, hard-working cat in her moons that was only waiting for time to prove himself.
- when he was a few moons older, boarstrike came face to face with a black and white splotched she-cat of the name batpaw; his new apprentice. the recently apprenticed she-cat was shy, even past their first day out of camp together. however, he came to understand that batpaw had only been shy at first. throughout their training, the she-cat came out of her shell and began to be almost excited each time they went to their clearing. even when boarstrike took batpaw out with the rest of the apprentices, batpaw would enjoy the training and speak with her den mates in that same excitement she had alone with him. by her warrior ceremony, where batpaw became batheart, the she-cat had successfully grown into a warrior the clan could rely on for her strength and desire to protect the clan she grew up in.
- life went on after batheart left his side everyday into amberclan’s land, border patrol scuffles happened as they always would and hunting patrols carried a variety home as every season passed. one leaf bare, the clan deputy, addertail, only a recent figure after rookflight had caught a cold that wouldn’t cease pestering him and retired, risked themself in saving a border patrol full of a frightened, young warrior and an apprentice from a starving fox. as much as their medicine cat tried, addertail couldn’t be saved and amberclan was without a deputy in the middle of leafbare. but as tradition went, a cat was named by moonhigh and that was boarstrike. the stocky tom was surprised; what had he done to deserve this?
- he didn’t quite understand until newtstar’s passing from a badger that had gotten into camp, despite how sandthroat and a few other familiar faces had told him so. even his parents, his mother still in the nursery and father an elder, had knew that he had it in him to go a long way. it wasn’t until boarstrike had stood before starclan’s eyes that he understood how much the clan respected him, despite seeing himself as one of them.
- still quite a young cat, forty-nine moons old, boarstar had a life ahead of him in leading his clan and in doing that, he'd need a supportive figure. that was drakefang. an impressive warrior that could make the hard calls when it came down to it, boarstar elected him as his deputy at moonhigh. despite drakefang being a somewhat younger figure compared to other warriors, boarstar trusted him and his opinions which began to help shape amberclan from the start.
- the clan ran smoothly under boarstar's reign, life going on as it always did. his father died... a few of his siblings. but, life went on and boarstar found happiness in the she-cat named swanflight. only a few moons younger than him, she beautiful cream she-cat was soft and sweet; she let him shower her in everything, even concerning how protective he was of her. the she-cat barely made it out of camp during her pregnancy.
- dustnose had assured him the she-cat would be safe during labor, two or three kittens wouldn't put too much pressure on her but what the medicine cat hadn't expected was for her to loose too much blood. even in his paws, swanflight died birthing their son, squirrelkit. boarstar could barely forgive him after that... not to mention that as timed passed and squirrelkit also died due to a sickness in the camp that also claimed dustnose himself leaving them mothpaw and the retired medicine cat, whiterabbit.
- left with his daughter, boarstar has made a strong bond with the deep ginger she-cat that looked like her mother each day. rosekit eventually graduated into rosepaw and awhile she's tried to get away from the affections and attempts to protect her, boarstar always follows. he doesn't' want to loose her to the paws of anything... and despite what other cats have told him, he won't let go.
