Template for EBC Group Members only!
Species : Caracal
Personality : Loyal, Stubborn, Protective, Cocky, Very Clever, And he has a hard time trusting others, but is very trustworthy.
Background: Achillies only remembers bits and pieces of his past. He remembers his father being a great Gladiator and was one of the best fighters. Before he died in the Colluseum, he gave his son, who was only one at the time, a pendant that had been in the family for generations. Therefore he is never without it. His armor he wears quite often, mainly the chest plate. He believes in always being ready. After his father, Priam, passed away, he buried him and then began training to be like him. But there is a huge gap that is blank from age 1 to 3. He had fallen off of a cliff fighting off a wild wolf, which is where he got his scar and he had hit his head several times falling down a cliff. That is the last thing he remembered. Until he met a Serval named Icarus and he told him all about the Gladiators and He knew that was his destiny. The yellow mark was on his fathers armor, so he put it on his. Using it as a mark of honor.

He approached me and told me all about the Empire and I felt at heart that there was where I was supposed to be. It was my Fate to be a part of my new home. He is always there for me when I need him. I feel I can trust him, even though I do not trust easily./ Apprentice: "Cato is a young female mountain lion that I have been assigned to as her Mentor. I am honored to have been chosen for this high responsibility and do not plan on letting anyone down. She has high hopes and potential of becoming a fine Gladiator one day. I have a feeling things will go smooth with her and she will excel in her training. She has demonstrated fine attributes of a Gladiator already, more than any one-time apprentice in my opinion."
Outside of Lightning Empire:
Athena of Ice Empire "Ahhh Athena, my one true love. I know she and I are forbidden to see one another being of different Empires...but...I have never felt this way and I know deep down I love her with all my heart and soul. She brings out the kindness in me that I never knew I had. I know not what will become of us. But I hope we can find a way to be together peacefully between Empires. I would die for her and her me, but I am also loyal to my Empire. It is so confusing. And with us being of different species complicates things some, but my main worry is being without her."

Sophronia came back from a hunting patrol and layed down on the ground and sighed, "What a day." Her three foot tail wrapped up beside her and the end twitched.

Achillies himself was finished with his guard duty for the day and was headed home. He stopped midway where he saw a cat he had not met yet. His eyes ran over this cat lying in his path home. Dressed in full armor, Achillies was an intimidating Caracal. He slowly approached the cat and towered over him looking down. "Hello...we have not met yet. Who are you?" He asked in a very authorial tone.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sophronia looked up and saw the Caracal, "Hello, my name is Sophronia." Her voice was quiet but kind, she was easily intimidated but never showed it. Her russety-brown fur shined in the sunlight. "I don't know your name either," she looked at his eyes while she spoke.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Achillies narrowed his green eyes at her, no smile emerging. "Achillies." was all he said, and he began to walk past this female. Then he stopped and turned over his shoulder. "So, where do you stay and what is your job?" he asked, in the same monotone voice. He stood tall and awaited an answer.
(what type of cat is yours?)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sophronia was unsure of this cat and why he seemed so...unpleasant. "I'm a gladiator and I stay in the gladiators den." Her tail tapped against the ground while she spoke.
(I made her before scientist realized they weren't cats but a relative of the mongoose. It's called a fossa. They're more cat like than anything else.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(yeah I know fossa's, so she is much smaller than Achillies.)
"You seem...small for a gladiator...can you fight?" Achillies said to her. He had his reasons for being unpleasant and even rude. His whole life he was trained and taught to only kill. He knew no other way to behave other than...how he was. Perhaps he just needed someone to show him kindness in order to be kind.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sophronia laughed, "I may be small but I can fight." She had a mischeivious look in her eyes. She smiled to him, "I'm guessing you're a gladiator right?" Her gentle tone was another misleading thing about her being a gladiator, she didn't seem like a fighter.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Achillies stared at her. "You see all this armor...you tell me." Achillies said rudely. "And if you think you are so tough, how about a little scuffle? Hmmm? You and me, right now?" Achillies was serious, not a joking tone in his voice at all. He even took a ready to attack position, crouched low to the ground, shrugging each shoulder blade awaiting an answer.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"Then my assumption was right," she scoffed. Sophronia didn't like to fight members of her clan but he was making her want to. She lashed her spiked tail back and forth, and each time it did a loud crack sounded from how hard she was swiping it. Her eyes followed his form, "I must've made you quite angry. I apologize for whatever I did but I will not fight a fellow clanmate." She knew that he would be a challenge for her despite her incredible speed, besides she didn't want to fight in camp. "I'm usually quite hard to anger," her kind disposition had never previously been broken.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Achillies stood tall and smirked at her. "You passed." He said with confidence. "I wanted to test you, to see how loyal you are and I am impressed. I would never fight fellow clan member either, and you have angered me not. It is I who is sorry for upsetting you. I...am just not that good at...socializing I suppose." Achillies said lowering his head but still showing alertness. Achillies never intended to fight her. He only wanted to see how far he could push her.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sophronia looked at him confused, "Well that was one heck of a test." She chuckled while trying to calm her nerves. She sat and looked at Achillies, "I sure hope I don't have to take any more tests." Her tone had returned back to it's kind and quiet vibe. Her russet colored fur set back down on her withers. Sophronia leaned forward and nudged his head, "Hey, it's alright. Everyone has different ways to communicate how they feel," she mewed reassuringly.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Achillies jumped at her nudge instinctively, but nodded. "No...no more tests.Well, have a good night. My den is by the river. I live separate from the gladiators. Till I can get comfortable anyway. Nice to meet you. Appreciate you putting up with me." Achillies said and shook his sweaty body.. He was ready to shed his heavy armor and get a cool drink.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sophronia pulled back quickly, "I'm sorry." She watched him get up, "It was nothing. It's good to get worked up every once in a while," she chuckled.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Achillies half smiled and nodded. "It's okay...uhmmm is there an eating time and place or just on our own? I am so new here." Achillies sought answers from this Fossa.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sophronia giggled, "You can eat whenever you're hungry." As she said this her stomach growled loudly. She looked at her belly then back to Achillies, "Looks like i'm hungry now that you mention it." She stood and walked over to the food pile, waiting for Achillies to follow.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Achillies hesitated, but followed and grabbed a fair share of food. He then walked under a tree alone to eat. He was not used to being with all these other cats. He wondered if she would follow him. He would not mind. He would like some other friends...or a friend at all since he had never had one.

Sophronia layed down beside him and began to dig into her meat. She looked up from taking a bite, "How have you been sir?" She smiled and tried to start conversation.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"Sir? Please do not call me that. Just...Achillies." He said with a stern look on his face. He ate his meat quickly and then began to groom his paws and claws. Then licked his muzzle clean of the blood. "Oh damn!" Achillies said as he looked down and saw that blood had gotten on a pendent he always wore. It was his fathers.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sophronia raised her eyebrow, "Ok, just Achillies." She looked up from her meal and saw the blood on his pendant. "It's wonderful. Where'd you get it?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Achillies fell silent and stared at his blood stained pendent. It was not much, a silver dog tag shaped metal with a very small, nearly invisible blue stone in the middle. He began to think of his father, Priam. He was a Gladiator as well, and was very well known. Priam had taught Achillies since he was a cub. His mother died shortly after he was born. Priam had been killed by a huge tiger defending him. Achillies challenged his father's murderer, won, but got the scar he bears on his face. He snapped out of his daze. "Uhh...my Father passed it on to me when I was a cub." he said in a sad tone.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sophronia watched him think and could tell it was important to him. "I wish my parents passed something on to me." She touched her chest and then looked back up at him, "I bet your father was a wonderful cat."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Achillies then did something that he almost never does, he smiled. "Yes. He was...I...miss him...but life goes on and so must I." Achillies yawned. "I thank you for your kindness. If you will excuse me I need to get this armor off." Achillies stood and took the bone left of the thigh of the animal he was eating and began to head to his den.

Sophronia smiled and watched him leave. She layed her head down and watched the leafs blow on the trees. She was happy to Achillies friendship. He proved he would be scary to have on the wrong side.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Achillies went inside his den, thinking of the days events. He had made a friend, and he never had one before. He was not sure how to feel. He stripped his armor all off, except his pendant of course. He felt better, but was no smaller. The armor fit him snugly. For a Caracal he was quite large and very muscular. He let out a tired sigh, then went to the river for a cool drink. He could not help thinking about Sophronia. After all, she was one of the first to speak to him outside of orders being given...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sophronia rolled over onto her back and watched him leave his den, much lighter looking. She giggled from all the blood rushing to her head. 'He even walks like he was unsure of himself,' she thought to herself. She got up and walked into the gladiators den to take her armor off also. The scar on her side was exposed and it felt strange like it always did. She walked back out into the clearing and approached Achillies, "I figured I might as well take mine off as well."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Achillies was a bit surprised at her coming to his den. But he nodded and noticed the scar. "So...how did that happen?" Achillies asked nodding to the scar on her side. He hoped he did not offend her by asking. He sat up straight and looked at her without her armor. She did look different.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sophronia looked at the scar and touched it with her tail tip. "Back when they used me for fights the bastards stabbed me with a sword for not killing a cub. Then they threw me out of the kingdom, leaving me here." Her eyes flickered back to Achillies and she felt better, she had never told anyone about the scar.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
"Damn. That's rough...sorry to hear that. My past isn't very fairy tale like either..." Achillies zoned out again and then stared into her eyes, his shimmering in the moonlight. He felt a chill in the air, but then he sniffed the air and his face turned from content to concern. He sensed something...unfamiliar...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sophronia was looking into his eyes when she saw a look of concern shroud them. "What's wrong?" as she said this she scented something strange. "What is that?!" she turned around quickly to get the full smell.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Achillies bared his fangs and stood in front of Sophronia. "Stay behind me...it's a wolf." Achillies stood strong and waited for the canine to emerge from where the scent was coming the strongest from. Then out of the bushes lept a huge black wolf, fangs bared and growling loudly.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sophronia felt fear cover her, but not for herself. They both didn't have their armor on. While Achillies had the wolf's attention she slipped behind it and quickly jumped on it's back. Her giant tail gave her impecable balance. She dug her claws and fangs into the wolf.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Achillies was surprised at her speed. He smirked and went straight in for a throat kill while she had the wolf twisting it's neck. Achillied held tight, suffacating it until it stopped thrashing about. Once it was dead, Achillies let go and panted."Now that was a rush." Achillies sneered. He looked at her. "Are you alright?" He asked with concern gleaming in his emerald green eyes.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sophronia rolled off of the wolf and laughed, "That was so cool! I haven't been that excited in a long time!" She looked at Achillies and jumped happily at him, "You saved me of course i'm alright." She was giggling despite how scary that situation could've been.
