physical description

Oakstrike is pretty large for his age. He's all hardened muscles and quick reflexes and sharp claws. With a thick brown tabby coat, he's considered one of the largest in the clans. His shoulders are broad and his paws are huge. His claws aren't the sharpest or the largest but they're a thick heavy black that scream danger. Basically, he's a well muscled fighting machine. And that has left him with a lot of scars. There are two on his face, crossing from his left ear and stopping at the bridge of his nose. Three line his right flank, from shoulder to tail. His right ear is torn, but it looks rather dashing. His left hind leg has a thick scar right in the middle, all the way down to his paw. Thankfully, his piercing green eyes and lighter tipped ears make him something at least not too bad to look at.

the past

the history

Oakkit was born to a two kitten litter, but his little sister was very very small and she almost didn't make it. Tinykit was the smallest version of her older brother that she could be, brown, broad, and powerful, but her size nearly made it impossible for her to participate with all of the other kits. Oakkit was the only one who played with her, and he was the only one to defend her and watch out for her. He loved his little sister very much, and it nearly destroyed him when, four moons later, a fox broke into the nursery and snatched her. 

Oakpaw never got over the loss of Tinykit, even after he was promoted to apprentice and he worked himself twice as hard at fighting. He felt like it was penance for not being able to protect Tinykit. His mentor, a harassed looking she-cat by the name of Stormheart, spent many training sessions simply trying to  help Oakpaw realize he could be an asset to the clan without just fighting for it. Sometimes, he still forgets it. 

As a warrior, Oakstrike quickly became one of the best fighters in the clan, though sometimes, when it's raining or foggy, his hunting and tracking skills could use some work. He's learned to control his emotions and thus, has become less dangerous since he was an apprentice.

Oakstrike has trained two apprentices, the young and lovable, Dawnheart, who helped Oaskstrike grow more than he ever realized and settled him into the stern but kind figure he is, and Willowfrost, who he spent more times tracking down and disciplining than training, but turned out just fine.
