Darkstar

"I know almost everything now, I am not sure if my life was woven by lies or not." -Darkout 2022, to Quailfall
Darkstar is the leader of ANTS and will do anything to to help PounceClan recover.
== Personality ==
He is extremely justical, hates anything about tyranny and injustice, and can be described as an anarchist. On the positive side, he has a soft spot for those who’re wronged or shunned, and is very empathetic and emotional. On the negative side, he is cold and deceving, due to his Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and can be snappy and paranoid. In battle, he can be merciless to ones against him, and even kill.
Most of the times he refuses to talk, and quite snappy and deceiving while talking; he will never talk about his own private life and backstory most of the time. After the final battle against Talonstar and her allies, Darkout would be diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, which makes his personality more unpredictable and making him more paranoid.
Darkstar has two sides of a personality, due to his bipolar disorder and slight dissociative identity disorder. On the positive side is when he can be quite leaderly and charming, and quite friendly in that way. On the other hand, he's extremely aggressive, snappy, alert towards strangers and very bloodthirsty. Uh oh
Darkout has an unwavering self hatred directed to himself constantly, and he really refuses to let others call him leader. He often declares himself as not the leader type.
Overall, Darkout has an "I'm mentally insane and I suck at leading but I don't need therapy so f*ck off" and extremely depressed vibe lmfao. /hj
== Appearance ==
Darkout has a grey pelt with greyish white tabby stripes and a white tipped tail, and misty, bluish purple eyes, with foggy grey pupils; he also has ear tufts, confirming his distant lynx linage from his father. Darkout is colorblind.
He is severely scarred all over his body. There are rough horizontal scars across his face and forehead, which he clawed himself due to self harm and hatred towards his warrior name. His right ear is deaf and torn, thanks to Primrose. His right leg is non functional, ripped off by a crocodile driven onto PounceClan territory; in its place is a sharpened twig prosthetic leg, which he swings around in battle as a weapon.
There are also shallower, shorter scars over his whole body, especially on his throat area and his right side, mainly from apprentice training, battle and apparently, constant self harm. The most significant is a chunk of missing fur on the right from Goldenpaw, and a shallow bite mark on his backbone by Nightstalker.
== History ==
===During RP===
Backstory before roleplay is slowly being revealed in The Colorblind Comic on Scratch.
Darkout went to SnowClan and attempted to snuggle out Winterfur, an ANTs member, who he still doesn’t know is the killer of Acornpaw, who he used to have a crush on when he's an apprentice currently. However, the entrance was guarded by Nightstalker, a guard from PounceClan, and she managed to halt Winterfur from escaping, revealing Darkout being in ANTs and reporting to Talonstar. To no avail, since currently ANTs remained undercover, Talonstar ignored her, and Darkout was able to escape and find Tralista, former ANTs leader, sick in her den. Tralista then named Darkout as the new leader of ANTs before retiring. Darkout called an extremely quick meeting and named Winterfur as second-in-command due to Winterfur managing to sneak out from the SnowClan prison later.
In the meeting of the clans, he met Quailfall, eventually,,, hooking up and y'know what,,, yes they're mates.
Unfortunately Quailfall happened to be Talonstar's spy, which angered Talonstar so much that she almost killed him right in front of PounceClan. Darkout declared war on PounceClan and was exiled from the clan; he then lured Talonstar to a crocodile that's driven onto PounceClan by some NightClan warriors and rogues. To no avail, Talonstar didn't lose a life, but he injured his right foot. Afterwards he found out that Primrose told Nightstalker and Talonstar about Quailfall oh and their kits, so he dueled with Primrose, who ripped his right ear deaf.
When Winterfur is still alive, Talonstar managed to capture and hold her prisoner in PounceClan, threatening Darkout that she will kill her if he doesn't surrender. In return, Darkout and Voidgaze apprenticenapped Goldenpaw for bargin. Unfortunately, both prisoners escaped eventually, so there's no need for negotiation. 
Darkout was running rogue in the forest border of Snow-StoneClan when he ran into Wishbreeze, who at that time had a crush on him. She accidentally spilled that Winterfur was responsible for killing Acornpaw, who Darkout had a crush on when he’s an apprentice; blinded by rage, he snapped at her then ran to SnowClan, exiling and dethroning Winterfur from her former position of ANTs second-in-command.
Right before the Final Battle, Quailfall told Darkout that she had his kits/ cubs/ whatever a snow leopard- cat hybrid kid is named and yep, they’re born. Unfortunately two of them are kidnapped by Primrose and sent to PounceClan under the adoptive care of Rubypelt and her mate, Nightstalker. The rest are sent back to StoneClan under the care of Quailfall and her fake mate, Glacierclaw.
In the Final Battle, Darkout is responsible for killing Buzzardfrost of PounceClan, Frecklespark of SwampClan and taking away one of Sandstar’s lives. Afterwards, he and Voidgaze lured Talonstar away from the main battle; Voidgaze died with his company, resulting in t r a u m a, but Talonstar was also killed and later captured by Darkout and the deputy of PROTESTS, Striker, which pretended to side with him.
Darkout was renamed as Darkstar and he halts the battle, bringing temporary peace to all the clans. In his leadership ceremony, since logically thinking, he took over the leader position by force, as a result he didn’t get nine full lives. This is a secret that only Darkstar and Quailfall knows, but will be spoiled accidentally later on by Striker.
To keep a balance between Striker and her possible threat to his leader position, Darkstar named Bloodmoon, Striker’s brother, as the second-in-command to ANTs.
=== Pre-RP ===
unknown, but can be revealed through roleplay
== Trivia ==
====== [HEADCANONS] ======
Darkout's voice is a bit socially nervous, with a bit of a stammer, and quite light toned. He hyperventilates and chokes when he's in terror, panic or overwhelmed by fury. However when scolding or talking in a serious manner, it can get regal and hoarse. His headcanon voice is Tommyinnit. His tail tip and whiskers twitch when nervous, and when he blushes, only his ear tips will turn red. He rarely genuinely smiles.
Unlike normally that when living cats visit StarClan they are immune to their deformities, Darkstar's vision remains monochrome even in his dreams, schizophrenic visions, flashbacks, and in StarClan. His colorblindness is considered a curse to many, and may indirectly be some kind of prophetic foreshadowing that he would have a heroic or challenging destiny. Darkstar's bipolar disorder is raging and uncontrollable, he can literally be crying at one time and then immediately becomes merciless afterwards.
Darkout shares a birthday with Voidgaze which we had confirmed to be October 12. Me and Lake had nicknamed them as the edgy protagonists duo >:3
He is 2'1 in height, taller but slimmer than average. His fur is sleek in most places, but ruffled and ragged near scars.
====== [NOMENCLATURE] ======
Dark - his dark colored pelt.
Out - meaning outlaw or weirdo, referencing to his colorblindness.
====== [SYNDROMES, PHOBIAS] ======
Darkout has bipolar disorder and minor, unnoticeable dissociative identity disorder. He has strong social anxiety (ASD) and PTSD.
Darkout has agoraphobia, claustrophobia, mnemophobia, oneirophobia and herpetophobia. He has severe mnemophobia, and will panic and breakdown when he gets a vision of his past, which is also his biggest fear.
====== [WEIRD FACTS] ======
* Darkout is originally based on, (the WoF version) and also named Whiteout. However there’s another character in the rp studio he’s in so I renamed him Darkout and it became canon. Sorry Whiteout lmao
* Darkout is furthermore based on Tommyinnit from DSMP and Theseus (mythological). His role and lore in his roleplay is also similar to Tommy’s. This headcannon is actually originally unintentional haha, it’s just a random DSMP crossover I made up.
* He’s more severely scarred on his right side.
* He's probably the first character to have double leader positions, as well as the first character to become leader in roleplay in the studio (excluding Sandstar, since the former leader's owner left scratch). He's also my (hello, this is ArcheyStrikerDraws as -heroncalll- lol) vent/ comfort/ angst sona <3
* Darkout is ridiculously good at balance, tricky battle moves and parkour, despite his prosthetic leg. He rarely walks on the ground, and enjoy leaping across trees.
