Alright, so far I've only got a bio, but more'll come in time. ;D
EDIT: Pictures added! ;D
History: Darter William Seastreak was born in Camp Stormriver, a fort populated by mainly otters and dedicated to eradicating vermin, during the Spring of the Early Blossoms. He was named after his great great grandfather, whom he shares his full name with. His father, Waver Seastreak, died while he was very young of a strange illness. As a result, the young Darter never became too interested in healing, as it reminded him of his father's death. His mother, Pikee Seastreak, raised him and his two brothers - Feruin and Conver - all by herself. Conver tended to keep to himself and his duties, being six seasons older than Darter, but Feruin, two seasons older, became one of his closest friends. Pikee also played an important role in teaching her son about the art of warfare - training him to be ruthless and merciless towards all vermin. He was instructed in the use of a sling and sword, the two primary and most-used weapons of Camp Stormriver, when he was six seasons old.
During his dibbunhood seasons, Darter was boisterous, adventurous, and a troublemaker. As a result of the consequences of his actions, he also quickly became rebellious and had a very quick temper, which was usually explosive. To counter this, his mother taught him to be obedient and to keep his anger inside. Eventually this grew on him and his anger almost completely disappeared, as if it had never existed.
By the age of twelve, Darter became a trusted warrior of the camp. He was at last allowed to use real weapons and was issued his own sword and sling. He was never the most competent warrior of the fort, mainly due to his offensive nature in battle which often put him in needless danger, but quickly gained experience through many small skirmishes with small bands of vermin wandering throughout Mossflower. However, he was constantly belittled by those who were more competent than he was, and as result being belittled quickly became one of the few things that triggered his almost non-existant anger.
At sixteen, Darter was considered trusted and responsible enough to leave the fort and go adventuring on his own. He made his way to Redwall Abbey, where he formed a group of goodbeasts called the Sea Patrol, and went on a few adventures both by sea and on land. A year later, he left the abbey and his patrol, heading north out of pure curiousity.
While in the Northlands, Darter was forced to fight his way out of many ambushes, building up his defensive ability. After helping a family of mice ward off a vermin attack, about a week into his 'vacation', they let the hungry and weakened otter take shelter in their home. During his two week stay, Darter learned how to survive in the wilderness, how to use throwing knives (though he never mastered them) and began to use a shield and broadsword; both which had been given to him by the mice to attempt to balance his reckless and offensive nature in the heat of battle. He also later took up wearing a helmet and chest armour to further balance his fighting ability.
Deciding to head back to Mossflower once more, Darter happened to run into Laylark, whom he thought was a fellow otter in the darkness of night. The two fought off a group of vermin who had been chasing the fox, and Darter got viciously wounded during the battle. As he recovered with the help of his newfound friend, he discoved that Laylark was indeed a fox, a fact which changed his view towards vermin forever.
He and Laylark went on to create what Darter had always dreamed of: a fort built for the same purpose of what Camp Stormriver had been built for; to seek out and destroy all evil-doers in the region. However, the new fort had a few differences that separated it from his birthplace: first, they branched out to the sea and proceeded to have a port for adventures by sea, and perhaps more importantly, they allowed all creatures, whether goodbeast or vermin, to join their ranks.
