.Personaility Traits.[ Generous ] [ Humble ] [ Honest ] [ Friendly ] [ Cowardly ] [ Forgetful ] [ Insecure ] [ Passive ] 

Generous - Apollo is willing to give up anything for someone who he believes needs it more. He is known to give up shelter, water, and even food for his own views on morality. He absolutly loves helping those in need.

Humble - As said above, Apollo is willing to undermine his importance in society. Often disagreeing with those who compliment him in fear of being seen vain, he also believes he isn't important.

Honest - No matter what he will always tell the truth, he is not one to keep something away from the group. His honesty can sometimes be very blunt however and can hurt feelings.

Friendly - Apollo is very trusting of society and loves seeing new faces. He'll be the one to ask you hundreds of questions regarding your personal life.

Cowardly - Apollo is the literal defintion of a scaredy cat. He runs away from his issues constantly and never puts up a fight, he can barely look someone in the eye.

Forgetful - This cat has some pretty awful memory. No matter the importance of whatever you tell him, his brain just drops it right out. He'll usually remember the stupid, meaningless things like how many mice he caught for breakfest the other day.

Insecure - Apollo often undermines his ablilties and disregards himself from activites. He isn't confident himself and his ablilties suffer from it.

Passive - Apollo is very submissive and can be easily maniplulated. He oftens lets things gloss over without acting upon it.

.History.
Apollinarius was brought into the world in the dead end of winter, his mother was abandoned by her mate in the harshest of the cold. She gave birth to Apollo and two she-cats in a run down shed in the dead of night. Of course raising kittens in the winter was not easy and his mother constantly gave up her meals to feed her offspring. The family was in a state of constant travel and traversed the barren lands in search of salavation. Sadly, Apollo's two sisters developed severe sickness during the travels and didn't survive to adulthood. The tom remembers the night when he had to bury his sisters, how the rain drizzled lightly which turned the dirt into a blackish sludge. It was appalling. 
 His mother was never the same after that. She became more and more co-dependent and lost motivation to live. The next couple years of his life was mostly caring for his mother. They traveled at a much slower pace due to his mother's age, Apollo also did all the hunting for the two of them. Now a days Apollo would admit it was an unfulfilling life he lead at the time. It was like a constant droll day in and day out where everything was already set in place for them. Wake up, hunt, travel, rest, hunt, travel some more, stop for the night, hunt, sleep. Apollo absolutly hated the tedious lifestyle he adapted to, but he couldn't bring himself to just leave his mother behind. He pitied her in everyway, she didn't deserve the cards she was dealt. 
It wasn't until Apollo curved to about four years and a half where things went south. News of the Gates of Paradise had come their way and hope sparked in them, for once maybe things will turn out okay. After several days of travel, something - or rather someone - came across their paths. It was someone Apollo never thought he'd see, his father. He was a lone traveler, not willing to commit in any form and runs off at the chance of being tied down. His mother lashed out at him, letting out all the years of pain she endured by herself and how it all stemed off from him leaving. Anger surged in his father, so he attacked her in 'defense'. Apollo tried to break up the fight but his father turned onto him. He sliced Apollo's ear open, spilling blood across the dying grass. Then, he was gone. A coward he was to attack his former mate and his own son. His mother did not survive her wounds, she bled out and was dead by sunset.
Although he was swamped with the feeling of regret and grieve, he knew what he had to do. He must reach Paradise and find salavation in this forsaken world. Apollo came to terms of the cruel and cold nature of this world.

.Questions.
What was your character's stance on entering paradise? 

Apollinarius is all for entering Paradise, he believes that Paradise is the key to salvation. He wishes to correct the world and improve it for the well-being of all living beings. The tom traveled far in order to reach the scholars to see if he could assist them in their studies and dropped in time for the Gates to open. He was always an avid beliver of an otherworldly force but never intended to join the scholars. He couldn't wait for a world without poisoned tar, earthquakes, sickness, and death. Somewhere the air was breathable where the prey was plentiful. Apollo could not quench his excitement. 

Was your character a scholar, did they believe in the lore found about locating paradise?

Though Apollo is an avid believer in paradise he did not consider himself the type to become a scholar. He lived very far from the site believed to be on the grounds of the Gates of Paradise and was unable to join them. It wasn't until his later years where he started showing more and more interest in the practices they commit to. He prayed for a better world, for someone to save them. And he praised the high heavens as the Gates swung open, he felt it was a chance to start from the top.

.Body Traits.
Body type: Apollo is very small and has an athlectic body type, his forarm muscles are very weak compared to his hindlegs. 
Fur Length: His silver-grey fur is moderatly lengthed yet more abundent in the neck, tail, and near the hindequarters. 
Fur Color: A very silvery-grey with splashes of lighter grey on the face, paws, the underside of the belly. Stripes crisscross along his body and ring his tail similar to that of a raccoon's. 
Eye Color: A very dark blue, similar to that of the ocean.
Scars/Other: Right ear is torn into a 'V' shape.

.Roleplay.
Methods - Willing to write in short or long replies.
Skype: Nope, only for close friends.
Chat: Yep.
Notes: Will do but not preferred.
Google Docs: Willing
Other: Ask about this.

R.P Example: 

(Taken from my R.P account on Tumblr)

-

O-oh? I’m course not! I don’t mind at all!

Teddie was a bit surprised, he was memorized by the T.V and totally got distracted. He’ll admit that he never watched much of T.V which is a little funny since he hails from the other side. 

But Teddie already thought Jun looked pretty comfortable…what could he want to change into? Still in thought, he took another sip of his coffee and shivered at the taste.

-

O-oh that?” Teddie felt a wave of embarrassment hit him. “To be honest I ducked in there to get out of the storm, ya’ know since everything else was locked up.” 

He gingerly picked up the cup and slowly took a sip. Not only was it extremely hot but it was very bitter! Teddie loved everything sweet so this was an incredible change of scenery.

Still, he didn’t want to be rude. So he swallowed the mouthful and smiled sheepishly at Jun.
