Gruff with a heart of gold, Strike is an experienced fighter who was amongst the first to settle in what is now Acronycha. He is the town's sole blacksmith, and provides the not-cats with the weapons they need for their adventures. He often prefers to be alone, working on his craft, instead of joining the other not-cats in town. The exception to this solitude is Gaia, a young abandoned not-kitten whom he has taken on as an apprentice. He loves making up stories about his scars to tell to the young of the town, with how he got them ranging from a dragon attack to a shipwreck.
