Appearance|| boop || boop || boop || boop
Stag is a brown maine coon tom. He has a base coat of rich brown with waves of darker, almost black, fur forming tabby stripes. White fur splashes on his large chest and trickles down to the inside of his forelegs, coating his paws. The white stream continues along his belly, fanning outward to reach thin tendrils of snowy fur up to his sides. The underside of his tail is the lightest brown, a tan color, that fades darker toward the topside and ends in the darkest brown, almost black. He has a dark pink nose surrounded by more white fur splashed on his face and leaf green eyes. He is large in size and stocky. His is more built for strength than speed. His fur is somewhere between soft and wiry and will form slight curls if not groomed. When groomed meticulously, it fans out to double his size (as seen in the last photo)

Future personality||
Stag is a leader. He likes to be in control and is at his best under pressure. He is not a megalomaniac, per say, but prefers to be completely in control. Stag isn't undeserving of this power, either. He is intelligent and courageous and will not misuse the power that is given to him. Stag is also very very loyal and will never give up on someone who earns his loyalty. However, he is not a push over and can actually be quite stubborn and hardheaded. It takes a lot to get on Stag's good side, but once one is there, it is forever. Stag can be kind, but reserves that for cats who conform to his way. He does not tolerate anything other than what he wants when he wants it. Those who follow him without fail get his kindness and loyalty. Those who fail to but try...get his loyalty. Stag is funny and can be good company as long as everything is the way he wants it. He is selfless and will give his life for anyone, he'd give the fur off his back for a loved one. He is a big believer in tough love, and can be rather formidable. His temper is very short and his anger is cold. He blows up for a short time before becoming stone. Nothing is worse than Stag's stony glare and silence. He's a very talented warrior who uses sheer strength to overpower anyone in battle. That combined with his short temper and tendency to hold grudges, makes him very scary when he's angry. However, he'd never hurt someone he loves. Stag learns from Honeythistle and Cedartuft's stories what it means to be in the Fuzz family. As soon as he was old enough to know about his father, Stag tries to take over his role of protector. He is overprotective and likes to be a provider. He prefers that his family be dependent on him, taking after his father and brother in the traditional beliefs. He grows up to be a dominant cat, which was clear from his assumption of the fatherly role in the immediate family and his tendency to want things his way all the time. When he becomes a father and mate, he will insist his mate's total dependence on him (not hunting, fighting, practicing) but will do everything in his power to make her happy and keep his family safe so that total dependence on him is not a completely bad thing. He believes the traditional view and doesn't like non-conforming cats (lgbtq+) though he will not take it as far as physically harming them. When he becomes a father, he will be a rigorous enforcer and teacher of the traditional beliefs and will not tolerate his kits not conforming. However, he has a big heart and loves his whole family. He likes to laugh and does so warmly. He is also very fatherly, providing advice anytime it is asked for. He likes to do fatherly things (hunting with his tom kits, spending time with/grooming she-kits). His punishments are hard but his love is soft and all-encompassing.

Why you wish to be picked as a kit||
I already have Dove (Honey's mate) but I want to see what it's like to RP a blood-Fuzz family

Are they likely to be LGBT?||
No, he is very traditional

How will their relationship w/ Cedar be?||
He'll love her! As a kit, he'll be very close with her and love to spend time cuddled up to her head. When he grows up, he'll still adore her and love to spend time with her. He'll always take time to visit her and will take on the role of provider since Barkfang is dead and Cedar doesn't hunt/fight.

Will their father being absent affect them (positively or negatively) and why?||
Positively and negatively. Negatively because he won't have a normal father figure but positively because he'll learn from Honey and Cedar and assume the father figure role as best as possible as a kit.

Also:
If accepted, could he be the oldest (I know just by a few seconds) and biggest?
Also, I plan for him to die before he reaches elder age
Since he's large and relatively healthy despite Cedar's age, maybe he could have a lung problem? Not too bad, just the cat equivalent of light asthma?
