☆☆☆
Gene String: Entirely Optional.
Appearance:
Creekstar is a blue ticked tabby tom, bearing tabby stripes only on his legs, face, and tail, while the rest of his flank instead has a darker blue tint. The fur on his muzzle, belly, chest, paws, and above his eyes are a lighter hue. His front left paw has a splash of white. His eyes are a blue-gray, much like the fog over the ocean on cloudy mornings. However, even his mild colored eyes are known to be great at showing expression. Creekstar bears two large scars over his left eye, as well as missing half of his left ear - both from an alligator attack. He is average in build - perhaps a bit more on the lankier side - and his fur is shorthair, but naturally scruffy in texture and never seems to be able to stick to his body, unlike many of his sleeker clanmates.
Personality
Please list at least three positive and three negative traits for your character below.
Positive Traits: • Caring / Loyal / Protective • Goofy / Humorous • Thrill Seeking / Adventurous | Negative Traits: • Reckless / Impulsive • Lenient • Naive |
Personality:
Creekstar is known for his goofy demeanor, often cracking jokes and being a dork in general. However, he is a reckless cat who is driven by impulse. With a lack of willpower, Creekstar tends to find himself in a number of situations that end up with poor consequences. Unfazed by many of these experiences, he will continue to get himself into trouble. This can be a huge issue if others decide to join in (i.e. Mushroombug).
Creekstar is caring and loyal of those close to him. He's willing to stand up for these cats, willing to put himself in harm's way without hesitation.
Creekstar sees the Warrior Code as more of a guideline rather than a strict set of rules to follow. His judgment is based on what he thinks is fair rather than what the code actually says. He judges each scenario on a case-by-case basis rather than by the book.
He is naive, especially because he is so young, and tends to not know where social borders are. He can let his joking-ness become too much and doesn't understand when to stop until someone snaps at him. He also can be too trusting at points.

Character Background
History:
Creekkit was born to two warriors by the names of Streamspeck and Fishleap. His only litter mate was his stillborn brother, Tadpole. Struck with grief, Streamspeck was not a tentative mother, often just making sure Creekkit's basic needs were met before drifting back to sleep. Fishleap came by the nursery sometimes, really only to temporarily check on his family before returing to his warrior duties, as he was an extremely diligent warrior and often put his clan before his family. Creekkit grew up mostly with the other kits in the nursery, relying on them for entertainment.
However, apprenticehood came fairly soon, and Creekpaw finally had some freedom! Creekpaw ran with this and became a troublesome young lad, often finding himself in situations with unfavorable consequences. His mentor scolded him often, sending him to do extra chores as punishment. At one point, even Fishleap intervened and told the young tom to grow up and become a real warrior, not some troublesome kit with bees for brains. Disheartened, Creekpaw became reserved for a while, feeling as if he couldn't be himself. However, his sense of adventure called to him, and during his free time, he would explore the territory, spending much of his time to himself.
Creekpaw then met an apprentice from another clan - Flintpaw. Creek had been collecting feathers that day, hoping to raise morale in his clan. Flint offered to help, and the two quickly became friends. Even after that night, they would meet up during the dark of dusk to see each other. Creek felt like he could be himself around the tom, and the two became very close. There was a certain feeling that Creek couldn't explain. But, unsure of what it was, Creekpaw ignored it.
Soon, Creekpaw became a warrior - deemed Creekstep for his chipper attitude. Hoping that Fishleap would now take notice him, but his father seemed indifferent, and treated him the same as everyone else. A bit of resentment grew towards the orange tabby tom.
Unfortunately, Fishleap died during battle during a border skirmish, leaving Creekpaw fatherless and Streamspeck again heartbroken. The molly, distraught, became more and more reserved. Eventually, she fell ill. Two moons later, after much treatment, she passed away, leaving Creekstep on his own.
Creekstep went to meet up with Flintstep, but the black tom never arrived. Night after night, Creek would arrive alone to their meeting spot. After moons and moons of coming back to that spot, Creekstep finally accepted that fact his friend - no, his love- was gone, and he wasn't getting him back.
The tom went through a period of sadness. Is this what his mother felt like? To lose someone you loved out of nowhere? Not knowing what to do, Creek took some time to process what seemed to be tragedy after tragedy. Was life worth living anymore? Is this what his future held?
However, after some time dedicating himself to warrior duties, and making friends, he met a molly named Iriseye. The two became friends, and Iriseye would soon join Creekstep on his adventures, often dealing with his shenanigans. He perked up, slowly regaining his grasp on life and became a suitable warrior after all. Creek then was chosen to be deputy, having apparently proved himself to their leader. Perhaps life wasn't so bad, after all...
Beekit, Palmkit, and Aloekit were soon a result of the blossoming romance between Creekstep and Iriseye. The family was close and happy, and Creek took to being a father quite well. Shortly after that he was given the wilely apprentice - Mushroompaw - to mentor. The two clicked together really well, as she shared the same energy her mentor did. One day, while exploring some coves, the two encountered an alligator hiding within one of the tunnels. They didn't notice it until the last minute when the beast had attacked them. Creek's ear was ripped to shreds, and he tried his best to get Mushroom to leave, but she refused to abandon her mentor, and the two managed to tire out the beast, using its poor speed on land to their advantage, until they could find the opportunity to escape. However, they did not leave without gaining a few scars.
Some moons had gone by, and Creekstep received a prophecy from StarClan, along with a few others. They parted from their homeland, off to find a new territory for those who decided to join them to thrive. Creek, being deputy, took over the role of leader of the few cats that came from the old clan. During the journey, Iriseye. Distraught, Creekstep stopped the journey for a few days, searching for his love. However, once they were nowhere to be found, he knew he had to leave them behind and move on with their travels. Once at the new land, he established the new CoveClan, settling near the beach. After recieving his nine lives from the Star Cliffs, he aided the fight against the loners, able to finally end the journey and start their lives anew.
He was named Creek- for his blue fur and -step for his positive attitude and chipper demeanor; having a "bounce in his step".
