All the skills

Modest

Balban doesn't like to show off, and won't very frequently praise himself. If anything he would do it as a joke but he would never be serious with it. To be honest he doesn't really think he's much worth. Even when Kokkinos had said he'd be a great leader, he has doubts about it because he doesn't think he's much of anything other than a cat. He tries his best to be a good father to his kits and live every day, one day at a time but he doesn't believe there to be any importance about him.

Heedful 

He's a great learner, he's always attentive to anything going on around him. He very quickly figures things out and this helps him in his profession because he's always taking notes of what's happening and keeping things in mind. He isn't someone who's easily fooled and it's really interesting that this is still apart of him even after most of his life has been something that his daughter would call unfortunate. Even though he is like four now he is still always learning from other cats and can pick up what they tell him awful quick. He doesn't need a lot of time to figure out something new and is actually pretty good at picking things up after a brief observation period. If he ever stopped being a healer which isn't likely, he'd be able to pick up a new rank pretty quickly due to his attentive nature. He could actually be a scholar with this if he actually was motivated enough lul.

Serious

Probably about 7/10 he's more serious. Unless you know him he's more of a serious type of cat. With friends of course, he's more relaxed and he'll make jokes and all of that but he's  more of someone that's going to be the calm during the storm. Of course, this doesn't mean that there aren't times where he's not serious and where's he's just goofing off, because there are those moments 100%, but you're more likely to see the serious part of him than the goofy Dad part.

Unmotivated

This isn't entirely 100% of the time as well, for instance, if it's involving his kits, he will do anything for them and will have nothing but motivation but he doesn't really have any motivation to do more than what he's going to do. Some cats will set the bar high but he sets the bar where he knows he'll get it. His bars aren't as high as others but he does get his goal more often than not and his goals are still a decent bit high. Since his kits are all now in their own tribes and are somewhat independent he really doesn't feel very motivated for much. He isn't the biggest go getter in Light-Tribe and could probably do more to help out around camp but he doesn't since he's not motivated. He doesn't set the bar high and really doesn't have any desire to be like the head healer or anything and is pretty happy with where he's at. Why try for more when you can settle for sweet mediocrity am i right ladies?

Superficial

His actions vary from his thoughts a bit. This isn't as frequent as it was when he was a kit but it does still happen quite a bit. He is a much more cynical cat now that he's aged but he doesn't want to show that to many others. His thoughts are a lot darker and a lot more depressing than his actions, which actually does cause quite a bit of cognitive dissonance from time to time. One of the cats that he does share his more inner thoughts with is Stevie, who'll actually see what he's actually like more often than others. He confides in her the most about how much life sucks.

Pessimistic

He's a lot more pessimistic than optimistic. When he was younger this was also the case but it's only become more so now. His life has been so bad for him, from being attacked by a fox at a young age, his brother disappearing, his mother disappearing, his father never being there for him, to his mentor leaving, to his girlfriend dying, to his best friend disappearing, to his mate dying, to his kit dying, to the volcano erupting, there's just so few things to enjoy about his life that he doesn't really see many things as good anymore.

Dreary

He isn't a very happy go lucky kind of guy, in fact, he's quite the opposite. He's pretty bleak and sees the world in a depressing way, but he doesn't really show it. He keeps his sadder thoughts in his head most of the time and pretends that he's alright, and he'll pretend that everything's already but in reality life sucks and everything's pretty bad. Again, there are a few that he confides in with his inner thoughts but for the most part, he'll try to put on a smile, especially in front of his kits.

Inconsiderate

This has actually gotten a lot better than when he was younger. Now he does care for those close to him, and he will try to keep them at least somewhat happy, but if he doesn't really know you, there's more chance that he doesn't really care for how you feel or anything. To be honest, there's only so much care that he can give and he doesn't want to waste it on someone he doesn't know. If you come to him hurt, sure he'll heal you and all, but he won't be all soft with it. Depending on whether or not he volunteered to do the healing, or whether or not he was doing something, he may be agitated and have no care at all when it comes to healing without pain.

Prologue ×

Meeting during a storm and having to hide out in a cave, Psych and Pertinax clicked instantly. Although at the time Psych was still an apprentice, they continued to hang out and get closer, and eventually both developed feelings for each other - though they were unadmitted, that is until Pertinax went missing. After a month of mourning, thinking Pertinax was dead, Psych was surprised to see his grey-furred friend return.

Taking the chance, he professed his love for her, and with that they became mates. A few months later, even with Psych in exile, they remain happily mated and ready for their first litter.

Kithood ×

As a kit, there wasn't very much that was too interesting that'd happened to him. His Father was exiled for something he knew nothing about, or so his father says. Psych came to visit every now and then but it wasn't as often as he'd have liked, to be honest. He soon got his Light-Tribe tattoo along with one of his brothers and they went off to join Light-Tribe

Adolescence ×

Oh man, there's no apprentice part? I guess I'll just put that here. As an apprentice, his mentor was the Silver-Light. His brother had disappeared shortly after joining Light-Tribe and so had his mother, which had had quite an effect on him. After becoming an apprentice, he was out one day following some other cats when he was attacked by a fox. His mentor had come and saved him but he had nearly died before she did. During the mid part of his adolescence, his mentor had ended up leaving with her mate, but also, he'd begun to have feelings for this cat that had been momentarily exiled from Void-Tribe. He didn't say anything of course, until an annoyance (Janek) had pretty much told Tabitha himself, so then he'd ended up with Tabitha as a girlfriend. Which was something that was nice. He'd also made some friends around this time including Yaeger, Noctis, (Evaline? She called him a friend but he was more of a, uhhh sure I guess?). Soon after he was about to become an adult and he had planned to ask Tabitha if she'd be his mate, going to her father, Kokkinos, and finding out that she'd been killed. Kokkinos was a comfort to him during this time, and actually became a father figure for him. Not long after Tabitha's death, cats had gone on a quest, but he'd decided to stay behind, as his best friend, Yaeger, had gone on the quest. Months went by before Yaeger had come back. At this point, he was an adult.

Adulthood ×

He'd come without the rest of the questers but also with a bad paw. Balban had knocked Yaeger out and attempted to heal his friend which went.. sorta well. Soon after, a plague had hit the tribes which had crippled him, then his friend Yaeger like the "dumbass" he was decided to sleep with him, then got sick himself. Both him and his friend nearly died and Noctis was also there with them once the questers got back, but Noctis had not gotten sick. He also met another cat whom he fondly named "Treefucker" before he went into a coma. When he woke up, Yaeger was no longer there and Noctis had switched tribes. He was unaware of where his best friend was at but he was hurt that he'd left him without saying goodbye or anything. He then ended up meeting up with his friend Treefucker again, who's name was actually "Pyralis" and they'd begun to spend more time together, to the point where he'd noticed that he'd gotten feelings for her. And then at some point, he told her, and she told him that she'd loved him like he loved her, and for a small bit, life was good. She'd even told him that she was pregnant with his kits which at first was... interesting cause he was not expecting that at all but it was okay because he was with her. He'd be the best dad he could be. Fast forward a little bit and the volcano's erupting, and he's running to see the soon to be mother of his kits to make sure she was alright. The volcano continued to erupt and then Pyra had ended up giving birth to the kits. They were the most beautiful things he'd ever seen in his life and he'd never had more love for anything at this point in his life. Pyra wasn't exactly the best of mothers but he made up for it by being the best father he could be. He wanted to give his kits everything, he would be better than Psych in every way, but not only that, they would be the center of his life now. Months went by and his kits got their tattoos. Dusti staying with him in his tribe, his twins, Geist and Specter, going to Void Tribe where his friend Stevie was Gold, and Juniper and Oshi going to Air-Tribe with their mother. This was okay. Life was good for a moment, before exiles had attacked the tribes and Specter (now Andromeda) was stolen and Dusti (now Valak) had joined them willingly and now he was going through the tribes, running on a starstone for energy and healing injured cats. He spoke with Stevie and healed her mate and spoke with Kokkinos about his struggles before finding his way towards where the Air-Tribers were, scanning over Pyra before noticing that she was pregnant with their second litter, which came as quite the surprise seeing as though their last litter just went to their tribes but he didn't mind, he was okay with it. She wasn't on the other hand so they'd made plans to have her relative be their mother and he would still be their father. Months later she and him became mates, days before she had givin birth to their kits, and died during childbirth. With her death she had decided against giving his kits to Larka and his friend Shino had offered to nurse his two kits, Pyas and Vee. Soon after the birth of his second litter, his daughter, Geist (now Claudandus) had died in an explosion to stop the exile's power nulling stone, and his other daughter, Juniper (now Circe) had left the tribes. His kits during this time are being raised by Shino, his mate Casper, and himself, and he has an apprentice named Gideon.

Example ×

[ Green-Fire | Cyrus | Pheasant Woods ]

The afternoon sun wasn’t visible behind the thick layer of gray clouds. The snow had started falling late last night, and now it had begun to accumulate as the wheels of time spun throughout the day. The tom sneezed as he breathed in a snowflake. ”Finally, some snow”  Winter had been pretty depressing this year without the snow, he hadn’t been able to get a clear view of the forest covered with snow in over a year now. He was beginning to think he would have to wait until next year until he would be able to catch the view. His paws dragged through the whitened ground, making the sweet sound of snow crunching with every step, as he moved onward, deeper into the woods. His violet gaze went upwards as he looked up one of the taller trees in front of him, disappointment clouding his gaze as he thought of how much more dangerous it would probably be to climb up the tree when the snow was falling like it was.

The next day would probably be better for climbing trees, he figured, and padded along, his thoughts adrift. It was really strange that the snow should start to fall as late as it is. He’d have guessed it was spring by now, and that he should start to see the trees turning green, and buds starting to bloom, but apparently the spirits think otherwise? Whatever, it didn’t matter to him, as long as he got the possibility of seeing the landscape covered in white at least once a year, it was fine by him. He liked winter better than spring anyways. He stopped as he spotted a squirrel, digging through the snow, in search of any food it could find he guessed. He nearly didn’t notice it, save for it’s dark orange fur, he could barely smell anything in the frosty weather. He got into a crouch and moved forward, his tail flattened behind him and his hind legs bunched if it tried to flee. The snow had softened his steps and made his sneaking quieter, but the squirrel noticed his gray pelt and sprinted away. Cyrus ran after it for several yards, then let out a yelp as he tried turning sharply, then basically fell into a snow drift. He stared at the squirrel as it ran further away. ”Dammit, would’ve been nice to have something to feed the Tribe.”
