Rockstar Hawk, previously Space Laser, is a minor character in Housepets!. He was introduced in The Visitor.
He is one of Miles and Lucretia's cubs along with his brothers Darth Vader Sanchez and North Star.
Appearance[]
Originally having a completely gray coat like his brothers, Rockstar's only distinguishable features were his brown eyes. After maturing, though, he has gained a coat of two shades of gray. The pattern is unique within the Wolf Pack, since the lighter shade of fur doesn't just cover his underbelly, but extends to cover his arms and legs as well (here he is compared to his parents and brothers). Additionally, he has a dark patch over his muzzle that partially surrounds his eyes, similar to his aunt Elaine's.
When he's working as a pizza delivery boy, he wears a red and yellow shirt with a matching cap. At school he wears some form of top, and he also wears an ID tag in the shape of a golden coin around his neck when he's out in public so that he's not mistaken for a feral wolf.
Personality[]
Rockstar is much like his brothers. In early years they were all playful and rowdy cubs, and as time went on they've all taken a liking to video games and junk food.
However, unlike his brothers, Rockstar has shown to have a talent for leadership. This is most apparent when he was the leader of the dogs during The Great Water Balloon War, claiming that his middle name is "leadership". He would also seem to have some authority with his brothers, for instance when he urged them to grab Peanut.
Rockstar can be quite cunning and resourceful. In Flip That Den!, when Rock accused the cubs of doing a bad job at protecting the construction supplies, Rockstar had the foresight to take a voice recording of Rock from the previous night where he specifically told them not to take the night watch seriously.
General Information[]
The illustration to the right is one possible version of the Wolf Pack family tree (click to zoom in). Red lines indicate uncertain relationships. Rockstar is in the bottom-middle together with his brothers. Miles and Lucretia are his parents.
Like the rest of the Wolves, Rockstar is legally owned by Keene Milton as part of the Equal Chance Program so that he can be part of human society with as many rights as humans, at least as many as possible. For instance, this allows him to go to school and work as a pizza delivery boy.
Traditionally, wolves don't give their cubs names when they are born, instead letting them decide what they want to call themselves when they go through the rite of adulthood. For this reason, Rockstar Hawk and his brothers didn't have their own names when they were first introduced, and were instead tagged together as "Miles' cubs". The cubs didn't want to wait all the way to their rite of adulthood, though, so Rockstar decided to call himself "Space Laser", and his brothers decided to call themselves "Deathaxe" and "Darth Vader Sanchez".
It only took a little over a year before Space Laser switched to "Rockstar Hawk" which was revealed during The Great Water Balloon War, and this is the name that he held on to and chose as his true name when he went through his rite of adulthood.
At the end of Call o' th' Wild, Miles mentions that his cubs have "started picking up extra income". Sometime later, Rockstar's extra income is revealed when we see him delivering pizza to the hot springs that Keene Milton had installed in Babylon Gardens.
Trivia[]
- When assisting the birth of Olive, Ace, and Rook, Elaine commented that "everyone's just having three lately", implying that at least two of the most recent births in the Wolf Pack have been litters of three, which would be Snow and Lucretia's births. This means that Rockstar and his two brothers are from the same litter, and effectively non-identical triplets.
- The alt-text in "Record Contract" is a comment from one of the cubs saying that they were born "after the DS era", DS here meaning the Nintendo DS game console. The DS had it's height in sales in 2008-2009, and the cubs were introduced in October 2009. This would indicate the cubs were born somewhere between 2008 and 2009.
