Wildstrike

name:

Wildstrike

other names:

Wildkit, Wildpaw, Wild

rank:

young warrior, personal guard of Lionstar's daughter

personality:

quiet, more observant than active, prefers listening to you and whatever you have to say. despite that, if you talk about something that interests him in any way, he will sign his heart away telling you absolutely everything he knows about the topic. Wild acts serious and inexpressive most of the time, burdened by his past and pressured by his position in the clan, but in reality he is a very emotive cat, mostly seen when he's by himself though. he is particularly fond of running and climbing around in the wilderness and can't stand having to sit still for too long. he loves eating, despite what it may seem, and will eat pretty much anything you place in front of him, no matter how unedible it might look. Wild sometimes takes things too seriously and often times acts before he thinks, which has earned him a reputation for being a bit reckless most of the time. he is known to get distracted easily from what he's doing and often just wanders around aimlessly, doing anything else, until someone reminds him. it takes him time, but he's actually responsible in the end

likes:

- hunting, prey size doesn't limit him...

-climbing any and everything

- eating and trying out as many crazy ingredient combos as he can

- spending time with friends, hearing them talk about anything

- just sitting out in the wilderness and enjoying nature

- combat, enjoys sparring with friends ocassionally, but prefers fighting seriously

dislikes:

- rain and thunderstorms, they're more annoying than scary...

- not being able to help someone or something

history:

born to two of thunderclan's greatest warriors, Wild always felt some sort of pressure on all he did, feeling like he had to constantly prove himself in front of others so that he could try andlive up to his parents. because of that, he was always kind of quiet, burdened by his clan's epectatives of him, even before completely losing his ability to speak. despite that, his skills in combat were impressive since young and he still managed to make his clanmates proud, contrary to his anxieties. when he was still a young apprentice, disturbing creatures began appearing all throughout the land and treathened the clans. since going out alone became dangerous, Lionstar appointed him as a sort of personal guard for his daughter in an effort to keep her safe, trusting his abilities above his age and rather incomplete training. one day, while escorting Creampaw on a patrol, the apprentices were ambushed by the bizarre creatures and Wild received a fatal wound on the throat while defending the leader's daughter.

Wild became completely mute and took moons to recover entirely from the fatal injury, but in the end he managed to keep going strong and continue his training and duty. shortly after receiving his warrior name, the leaders of every clan decided to send their best warriors on a mission to stop the monsters once and for all, guided by the prophetic dream of a medicine cat. Wild, joined by Creamwish (believed to have the power neccesary to vanish the creatures) and his mentor Boulderblaze, became an official team with Swiftflight of windclan, Rippleshine of riverclan and Stormstep of shadowclan; each cat possesed a special ability granted by starclan themselves and were believed to be the destined heroes of the clans. at the first, they were all bitter to one another, burdened by the pressure of being heroes, but in the end they became close friends.

unfortunately, the plan went horrendously bad and all heroes lost their lives in battle except for Creamwish and Wildstrike. most of each clan was also lost and many of the survivors fled the land entirely, fearing death as well. but the cruel creatures still scourged the land, and the clans would be lost completely if left untreated. Wild joined forces with his only remaining friend and together they traveled the land seeking the few survivors, and descendants of the fallen heroes, they could find to help save the clans at last. 

relationships:

- Creamwish: best friend and cat who he's sworn to protect at all costs. they were distant at first, only linking one another to their duties and duty to the clans, reminding one another of their failures and cruel destiny. but after surviving through hell and back together, they became really close. some cats claim that they have deep feelings for one another, but no one really nows the truth, nor do they expect it to be revealed by either one...

- Lionstar: a distant and formal relationship. Wild wishes he had gotten to know the corageous leader better, before everything went to ruin. however, he still respects the fallen leader greatly even after his death, and still honors the duty he was assigned

- Boulderblaze: mentor and loyal friend. since the start, they had a strong father-son relationship, and it eventually developed into a strong bond. sadly, it ended abruptly after Boulderblaze suddenly lost his life in combat. however, even after death, he was determined to keep in contact with Wild and still guide him in his mission. even as a spirit, he's very loyel and caring towards his former apprentice, and still somewhat treats him like the son he never had

- Swiftflight: mostly one-sided friendship. even before they met, Swiftflight was bitter and jealous towards Wild, because he felt he was inferior in abilities and importance within their mission. Wild holds no grudges against the proud warrior and was always patient with him, willing to listen or help if he knew he needed it. seems like the windclan cat became more mature and open minded after death, and though he's still too proud to admit it, Swiftflight admires Wildstrike a lot and only wishes to help him succeed now

- Rippleshine: childhood friends and obvious lovers, at least at one point. Wildstrike has know Rippleshine since kithood, and despite belonging to different clans, the two always found a way to sneak out and hang out. they both had very strong feelings for one another, but Rippleshine chose the path of a medicine cat and both being loyal to the warrior code, knew that their love wasn't meant to be. that didn't stop them from being close friends though, and were often caught crossing clan borders before their mission was assigned just to spend some time together. sometimes, Wild would go to her to heal his wounds rather than thunderclan's medicine cat. Rippleshine died tragically defending her clan, but death didn't stop her huge heart and great love in her duty of protecting the one cat she loved most. perhaps in another life, they'll get to be together at last...

- Stormstep: more of a "formal" friendship than anything else. the shadowclan molly was many moons older than him so they often had a harder time connecting, buth they both had a strong affection towards Creamwish and that ended up bringing them closer. Stormstep often acted as second mentor to Wildstrike and even a motherly figure at times, helping him sort whatever went trhough his mind. frustrated by her ungraceful fall in battle, she's determined to lend her strengths to the young warrior, even if it's just to help keep her beloved Creamwish safe from harm's way
