Name: Naima Petrichor
Gender: Despite his behaviour, male
Actual Age: 18
How old they look: 16
Race/Creature Type: Catos (Note: The race in the suggested site was Neko, but it was too japanese, so I changed the name)
Description of Creature: The Catos are creatures half-human, half-cat. They present features such as lack of human ears but presence of slightly larger cat ones on the top of their heads, tail and long fingernails, resembling claws. They are sneaky and silent, like cats. 'Although the majority of Catos are female, every once in a rare while a male is born. One of the major drawbacks about Catos are that due to the feline genes, entire litters are born, and this is extremely dangerous to the mother.'
Country of Origin: Netherlands
Height: 5'3''
Body type: Scrawny, small and thin, yet with some developing muscles on the legs.
Skin tone: Caucasian white
Eyes: Suffers of heterochromia, like many cats. Left eye amber, right eye blue.
Hair: Ginger (Orange-ish) with blonde streaks, cut short but badly, so there are a lot of messy strands here and there.
Appearance: When first arriving in Albion (as in the first roleplay), he had only a simple cotton shirt, brown farmer pants that were a bit too large for his small body, so it had leather straps wrapped around the legs and waist and a robe with hood, all of the items extremely dirty due to foot-traveling, and he was barefoot. Is Always full of small scratches, due to being clumsy with his own claws or with things around him. After getting to Albion, he will seek for new clothes. He has ginger cat ears with yellow streaks, and a ginger tail.
As a cat, he is a regular medium-sized feline, with ginger fur. He weights 4kg and is a bit more than a foot tall.
Personality: Since there aren't many male catos, Naima grew up among only sisters and women, which resulted in a maiden-like behaviour for him. He is the scared cat type of Catos, generally afraid of everything that he considers threatening. Like a normal cat, is able to sneak into places and sleep peacefully for the night, and to run fast. His maiden-like behaviour has caused him to be mistaken by female catos and has aroused men's interest on him many times, from which he Always ran but grew used with. He is a shy Young man that adores company and cuddling, even more when someone scratches his head.
Diet: Naima can eat like a normal human being, however stays away from the vegetables and fruit, preferring fish and poultry (On extreme situations, he eats them raw, just as mice (really extreme case) ). He is very fond of milk and sweets from it.
Talents: Sneaky, silent walking, able to, when falling, land on his hands and feet and has a very graceful walk and jumps.
Flaws: Naive, shy, needy for caring, a coward in most situations. But when angered na in a fight, doesn't know when to stop. His maiden ways are also flaws he is trying to correct.
Powers/Magic (if any): Able to become a cat. That power can be used 5 times a day, for 20 minutes maximum. It needs 4 hours to recharge. It leaves Naima breathless and exhausted, as if he had run a marathon. His feline senses are also active in human form (Such as ability to land in all fours, good jumps, et cetera)
Weaknesses: Cold water, makes him flinch and slows down his movements; He is also unable to resist a gentle call and petting.
Weapon(s): Has a small kitchen knife strapped to his 'belt'.
Job in the Kingdom: Sort of helps the townsfolk around for food or coins, not a job exactly.
History: Naima's mother had passed away after giving birth to so many kittens, being a female catos. With no known father, Naima was the only male catos of the litter and so he lived a long part of his life among sisters and other women. With the mother dead they were taken by the convent. Since Naima looked like a girl when small and the sisters didn't want to let go of him, they pretended he was a girl and sneaked him into the convent as well. Living with no father figure, Naima Always behaved like a girl so he could keep his disguise and it stuck to his personality. When he was 15, the nuns found out he was a boy and he had to run away, abandoning his sisters behind, at least in good hands. He went from town to town in Netherlands sleeping on roofs or other places and stealing food to live, until he decided to leave his homecountry, choosing Albion.
RP example: Naima's stomach growled. He was hungry again. He had to steal something somewhere in this town of Albion. But then, he had just arrived, what image would that create for him? Sighing, he happily accepted the sunny day and went to a park with grassy field where he could stretch and nap for a while, resting his tired feet from the journey he had just made. Mewling softly, he curled around himself, his tail in-between his legs (otherwise someone could step over it) and closed his eyes, ignoring the hunger by now. He'd think on restarting life after his sleep. There was much to plan, much to do.... Naima winced, trying to relax. He couldn't. His mind was just too full of thoughts, thoughts of the life he had and was forced to abandon, thoughts of the life he could be having and the life he would have to have. He cracked his yellowish eye open, gazing at the grass blades. He wished he was just a cat. But life is unfair like that, life for him, one of the few male Catos, would be hard. Sighing once more, deeply this time, he closed the one open eye and tried dozing off.
Notes:
-He has very cute and sweet looks, so is normal for him to receive flirting from both genders, him blushing a lot.
- Last name is a reference to a TV show (Cookies for who gets it)
- Purrs and meows often in between his phrases.
