Appearance

Description: Elkcrash is an old, slow moving tom with thin, scraggly fur. His posture has declined severely with age, but he doesn't seem to mind, as he’s typically lying down. His eyes are a deep green, and his fur consists of several shades of brown. He doesn't really find it important to groom himself these days, and tends to be a bit dusty because of it. 

Scars/Injuries: His body is scattered with deep scars from his apprenticehood and young warrior days. He’s lost track of which ones came from what adventure; all he remembers is how cool he thought they were. 

Extra: His fur is going gray on his muzzle, and his fur has grown a bit scarce and scruffy.

Allegiance Description: An old, scraggly brown tom with several scars.

Personal

Backstory: Originally from LeafClan, Elkpaw was naturally ambitious- always desperate to get outside and prove his strength. He’d disobey his mentor’s every word, instead opting to challenge raccoons or small dogs, often leaving him in the medicine cat den for several weeks at a time. But soon enough, something other than battle caught his eye- a meek, skittish apprentice named Egretpaw. Elkpaw had always found her beautiful- and when he saw her struggling with social anxieties, he took it upon himself to cheer her up. He started bringing her along on his adventures, letting her watch as he ultimately got beat up time and time again. This carried on all throughout their apprenticeship, and soon the pair grew incredibly close. Elkpaw’s apprentice ceremony was delayed by a moon, but it was mainly on purpose, as that meant both Elkcrash and Egretwatcher got their warrior names at the same time. The two remained close, with Elkcrash continuing his risky adventures- and one day, when they were in their mid-twenties, the pair became official mates to nobody's surprise. Elkcrash slowly mellowed out as moons flew by, eventually morphing into the sleepy elder he is today. He experienced the change from LeafClan to HollyClan, and enjoys telling tales of the old founder. Despite the move and change in atmosphere, his love for Egretwatcher never faded, but grew as their family expanded with their kit- and their grandkits. Elkcrash couldn't love his family any more, and is incredibly grateful he has Egretwatcher in his life, and is even more grateful for the family she’s granted him. 

Personality: Elkcrash is a tired, grumpy old man who just wants to sleep and spend time with his family. He enjoys telling stories about his prime, when he’d take on just about any living thing- most of the time losing. He’s very snappy and doesn't like being fawned over, but also gets incredibly upset when he’s ignored. While he comes off as incredibly harsh and rude, Elkcrash is sweet and gentle when it comes to his wife, his child, and grandchildren- but most kits are also welcomed into his good graces. He only wants to live out his final days peacefully, and won't hesitate to let you know if you're disrupting that vision.
