Basic Information



Name: Emil (E-meel) 

Gender: Male

Species: Serval 

Age: 9 months

Rank: Apprentice

:bulletorange: ALL MARKINGS ON SHEET ARE RANDOM EXCEPT THOSE SHOWN ON THE FAR LEFT AND THOSE ON THE FACE.

Personality

 

[[ K i n d ]] 
Emil has a kindness within him that doesn't always make itself evident, but tends to show itself in various ways. Anything from helping out his Empire-mates to killing an injured animal rather than leaving it to die. It is one of the reasons he likely would not have made it far within the arena. 


[[ S t e a d f a s t & S t u b b o r n ]]
His faith in his friends and his Empire is unquestionable; his heart is loyal without a doubt. When he believes in a cause or a friend, almost nothing can shake that. A fierce friend and a great partner in battle and in life. In this regard however, he is also extremely stubborn and has trouble backing down. Being born outside the Empire but never having had to fight in the ring, he feels the need deep down to prove himself. 

[[ E a s i l y   i r r i t a t e d ]] 
Despite his kindness, Emil has a surprisingly short span of patience for certain cats or attitudes, and snaps pretty quickly. Things go to his head easily and he has been known to brood over things for quite a while. He may not show it, but he takes things to heart. 

[[ I n s t i n c t i v e ]]
Even though he is loyal to the bone, his instincts will always play a larger and more vital role in anything that he does. When it comes to tough decisions or points of pressure, he often battles within himself trying to decide if he should listen to his heart or his gut, and his conscious often pays the price for either path he takes.

[[ G u i  l t y ]] 
Due to his past, Emil has a fear of letting others down and knowing the people that sacrificed themselves for him did it in vain. He carries a lot of guilt on his shoulders and tends to let things eat at him.

*Personality could be updated and changed depending on how things go as I play him!   


Background

 
Emil was born inside the cages, to two very tired, very scared parents. He had three siblings, all with just as much beauty and promise as himself. It was only when he was older that he learned the reality of the world he had been brought into: cats fighting each other to the death, blood staining the walls and the cheers and shrieks of the battles outside his four walls. 

He had never been strong enough to make it in battles. Not for long. His parents knew this. 
That's why they risked the escape. They had heard talk of the others. These brave souls who had risked it all to get out, into the wild. They were living as a group, and anybody could join them if they could make it that far. That's what Emil had been told, all his short existence. 

One evening his family finally attempted it. One of his brothers had been taken, thrown into the ring with a cub two months older than him, and completely destroyed. It was the final straw.
 In the dead of night, his mother managed to distract a human long enough that the others attempted to dash free. His mother and himself made it, and his father would have come too, but then the human grabbed his brother. It sent his father into a frenzied attack to save his cub. 
In his memory lingers his father's voice howling for them to go, to keep running and wait for them at the edge of the forest. They did. 
They waited despite knowing that he was dead. They heard his cries. They heard the squealing of a cub being punished for something that was out of his control. 

It was a long way to the Empires. They didn't know where to start, what to look for. It was days before they caught any whiff of anything else other than predators. Emil was only young, but he trekked along with his mother, watching her risk her life to protect him against predators and from Bounty Hunters they knew had to be trailing them. 

His mother never made it. 
It was a few days in, close to a week, when she became so desperate for food that she had never learned how to catch properly that she devoured a rotting carcass. She fell very ill and within the next day, she was nothing more than another carcass herself, destined to be picked clean by buzzards too. 

Hungry and afraid and alone, Emil pushed through. When he found the Empire, he was starving and tired, and all he could do was promise that he would make it worth it. That he would make everyone's sacrifices worth it one day.
