γγγ
General Description of Body Type: In human form, Sabre is above average for a human, but short compared to his ancestors who averaged seven feet tall. Humans killed most of the taller werecats, leaving only short survivors. Other distinctive traits of his kind still present are pointed ears covered with a thin layer of downy gray fur that he usually hides under the shoulder-length hair on his head and retractable gray claws in his hands as both a human and feline.
His human form is also very muscular but he doesn't look like a body-builder. He's built more like a dancer or runner, slim but certainly not frail. His legs are long and his feet seem wide with longer toes. He prefers loose-fitting clothing that can't restrict his movement or make him feel confined. In keeping with an aversion to confinement, he prefers to go without shoes unless there's a risk of frostbite.
His feline form is a light silvery grey with darker grey spots on his back and shoulders and three rows of bars on all four legs. In this form he has a stubby tail and the fur on his pointed ears is thicker than when in human form with tufts of black. Generally his feline form is a light-colored bobcat, but it's slightly larger than a normal bobcat. The larger size and blue eyes that match his human form distinguish him as a werecat. Normal bobcat's eyes are yellow.
{Passionate/Aggressive/Dedicated/Distrustful/Self-Conscious}
Sabre's passion and dedication to people and things he likes can be overwhelming to other people. To people and things he dislikes, he's just as passionate and can be frightening in that passion. When overly stressed out or tired, he also has the capacity to be aggressive and behave more like an animal than a man, even in human form. Because he fears that tendency, and also from certain events in his life, he doesn't trust people right away and tries to keep to himself. Unfortunately, on this mission he doesn't have the choice to avoid his teammates, but if any of them can gain his trust, he'll give everything he has to protect them.
Likes/Loves:
- Being outside
- Fish and Fishing
- Hunting
- Fighting
- Anyone who gains his trust
- Meat
- Vegetables
- Anyone who hurts him or his friends
- Strangers
- Closed Spaces
- Dogs or wolves
- Shoes
- Being confined
Strengths:
Shapeshifting|As a werecat, he has no fewer than two forms, a human one and feline one. He can shift between the two at will. Unlike traditional werewolves, the full moon has no effect on a pureblood and natural-born werecat, which he is.
Enhanced Senses| Three of his five senses are stronger than humans; hearing is his best sense, but he also has a better sense of smell and perfect night vision.
Quick reflexes and agility| He's a cat. That's what they're known for.
Survival skills|Growing up in the wilderness, he had to learn how to live off the land.
Weaknesses:
Stress|Sabre doesn't deal with stress well. He can become aggressive under stress and may shift into his feline form without warning. That's the only time he can't control his shifting.
Social Anxiety|Because of a traumatic event as a child, he doesn't naturally trust other people and is extremely uncomfortable in large groups. He desperately needs personal space.
Claustrophobia|Closed spaces make him feel confined, and again personal space is important to him. He can live in a house, but he needs to always have easy access to the way out.
Social Skills| Manners and human interaction are some things he never learned.
His sister|Since they were orphaned, he has never been separated from his sister and will do anything to make her happy.
When child services found out about the orphans, they were both dragged kicking and screaming from the only home they knew and thrown into a storm of humanity called a group home. Despite knowing how to take care of themselves by living off the land, the law states that no one under eighteen is allowed to live alone. Murder of his father and forced removal of the only home he knew was Sabre's official introduction to human civilization. It also induced both kits first stress shift. It took a grand total of five weeks for Sabre to recover.
Somehow he survived the following six years and Luna with him. Luna refused to go anywhere without him, but no one except her wanted him around. He was too old for most people looking to adopt, and a dangerous wild animal to those who witnessed his stress shift. Recently Luna's discovered a hidden talent of hers, and moved into an accelerated program for her to polish and perfect that talent. It also offers free room and board while she studies. She's so excited about this program, that she is finally ready to let him go. He's worried about her, but she deserves this happiness and he can't refuse. Without Luna, he's not sure where he belongs. A mission to restore Noraneko, the home of his ancestors, gives him a new purpose and a chance to actually use those skills his father taught him long ago. He just hopes he hasn't lost the knowledge.
