Running From Fatherhood (And Child Support)
Name: Vesper
Age: ~78 moons
Status: Rogue
Known for: A charming menace with too many past partners and too few regrets
Mate(s): Non officially. Too many unofficially.
Kits: Definitely Crowtooth. Possibly several others. (He’s lost count.)
Backstory:
Vesper has always lived crazy and care free — impossible to pin down, slipping through borders and hearts with a grin and a wink. He was a sweet-talker, a wanderer, a cat who left before the sun rose. And, unfortunately, a prolific father. He never stuck around. Didn’t think he had to. He figured the mothers would manage, or not tell him at all — like
Larkthroat, a WindClan warrior who showed up once, heavy with kits, and told him
very clearly to stay away. He listened. Or pretended to. That was a long time ago. And Vesper has since earned himself a reputation.
Why He Wants to Reconnect Now:
Because someone — or multiple someones — are hunting him for back-child-support. Not in the twoleg sense. This is rogue justice. A small coalition of angry rogue queens — some of whom Vesper wronged long ago — have joined forces. They’ve tracked him, cornered him, and they’re demanding compensation. Not in prey. Not in herbs. In labor, loyalty, and time And that’s a problem. Because Vesper doesn’t have time to be a father however he remembers one kit who turned out sorta okay
“Crowtooth,” he says.
“That one turned out well. Deputy of WindClan. He’s mine.” Whether it’s pride or a desperate bluff, he decides to find Crowtooth — to ask for protection, or help, or maybe just someone to vouch for him. He might even try to spin it:
“Hey, I’m not that bad a dad. Look at you!” But the truth is, Vesper’s in trouble. Real trouble. And Crowtooth? He’s the one stable thing in Vesper’s chaotic legacy — the one kit that might actually give him a reason to be remembered as something other than a wandering disaster.
Possible Hooks & Drama: - Vesper casually shows up at WindClan’s border like it’s a friendly drop-in.
- The rogue “child support mob” isn’t far behind — expect chaos.
- He tries to act proud of Crowtooth while clearly hiding from his past.
- May not be sorry… until he actually starts to care.
Personality: - Charming but slippery. Talks his way out of trouble — or tries to.
- Avoidant and emotionally distant. Commitment issues galore.
- Can be sincere in short bursts. Rarely knows what to do with feelings.
