Personality

[[Insecure]]
Adriyel's insecurity comes from not knowing exactly what he breed he is. As the cubs from his breeder often made fun of him, for being a half-breed. Because of that he can be very defensive when it's pointed out. He feels like he is lesser then the other cats, and that he has to prove himself. Though he is not as insecure as he used to be, and is trying to over-come this.

[[Quiet]]
Contrary to what you might think, Adriyel can be a very quiet cat when he wants to be. Not one to get into fights unless challenged, for the most part he prefers to sit and watch the birds and the wind. And let the other cats argue and work it out. It is his insecurity that makes him loud and sometimes aggressive.

[[Friendly/ Optimistic]]
Adriyel always tries to be friends with every cat, he knows how it feels to be different and alone. He doesn’t want any other cat to ever feel like that. He always tries to see the bright side of things, and be the one to cheer everyone up. Even if he doesn’t totally believe what it is he’s saying.

[[Rebellious]]
Adriyel can be very rebellious when around older cats, or higher ranking cats. When around friends he won’t be as much, but he often feels he has to prove himself capable when around older cats. And as they boss him around his insecurity makes him that way.

[[Childish]]
Some cats will find this annoying, but at heart he’s still a cub, and he can’t help but be distracted. He will often chase a feather, or play with the cubs, even in the middle of a conversation. He just loves to see little one's smile and since he never got a chance to be a cub when he was little, he tends to take the chance to act silly when he can.

[[Loyal]]
Adriyel is very loyal to the few he trust’s, they mean the world to him and he’d do anything for them. He’s also loyal to his empire who gave him a home in his greatest time of need. He respect his leader’s and tries to do his best.

History and Biography

Cubhood
Adriyel and his brother Balkai were bred and born prematurely in an abandoned old cottage to a rather despicable breeder ((he ran what we today call puppy mill's. it wasn't very succesful)), along with a sister who only lived a few minutes past birth. His mother was a young serval; he never met or was ever told who his father was. Adriyel's mother never talked about their father and any mention of him would earn a cuff on the ear. From what Adriyel learned from the other cats, his father was not a pure serval. And although still cubs, the other cats teased Adriyel and Balkai for not being purebreds, or even 'half-breeds' by their breeder's purpose. This led to a extreme feeling of insecurity, and he began to second guess himself and everything he did. He felt like an accident, a mistake. He was small for his age and Balkai was large. His mother never said it, but he felt that Balkai was by far the favorite of the two brothers. It was a horrible situation for such a young cub to be in, and it would end up staying with him for the rest of his life.
In a way, the two cubs grew up on their own. They were never really close to each other or their mother, despite their closeness in their dark cage. Adriyel's mother was never the mothering type. She didn't have the 'motherly' gene that most females are born with. But she still wanted a better life for her two sons. She'd heard soft, quiet rumors floating around of cats who had escaped their humans and were living together in peace. She longed for a place like that for her cubs. But the opportunity/thought to escape never presented itself until one fateful night....
Into the Ashes
Adriyel's master had just given Adriyel and Balkai their first set of 'collars' earlier that morning. They were nothing more than a piece of cloth with a cheap gold piece that contained an inscription of their human-given name (Adriyel's is Zekre and Balkai's was Adsh) and their master's name. The two cubs had tried pulling the strange object off from around their necks, but found to their dismay they couldn't remove them, even given the fact that they were made for full-grown servals. It was now night, and Adriyel and Balkai had fallen asleep, their bodies curled around each other. Mallow, their mother, couldn't sleep. She felt anxious. She couldn't shake the feeling that something bad was near. And something was.
The young mother's eyes had just fluttered shut when she smelt the sharp, hot scent of fire. Her eyes shot open and widened in terror at the fast-moving flames that were beginning to engulf the cages and crates containing cats of various species. Fear overtook her. Mallow went berserk, slamming her small body against the side of her cage time after time. Finally the door holding her captive swung open, the rusted latch falling off with a hollow clunk. Grabbing the cub nearest her, Mallow leapt from the smoking cage and raced to the gate.

Adriyel watched from the jaws of his mother holding him as Balkai ran behind them, the smoke filled the air as his mother ran down the street. Flames were engulfing the breeding cages and lighting on the wooden crates. As Adriyel looked back, he suddenly realized…He couldn’t see his brother! The smoke was so thick that it had engulfed the tiny serval cub, and was chasing behind them like a deathly fog. His mother leaped up onto the ledge of a building, climbing onto the rooftop out of reach of the smoke. She looked around in fear, Adriyel tried to call for his bother but his throat was sore and filled with smoke and instead he just ended of gagging and coughing.
His mother finally made it out of the city, dropping Adriyel in a pile of leaves under a tree. She looked weak, starving, tired, scared, and yet she told him to stay there. So that she could go back and get his brother Balkai, Adriyel was impressed with her courage. The serval cub nodded, and watched as he mother left…Little did he know, she’d never come back.
Adriyel waited, and waited, a couple of days passed and as each one went he got hungrier and more worried. Plus he saw scary cats looking around outside…The bounty hunters, he remembered his mother telling him about them. So after one more day, he decided to explore the woods and look for some food. In the process of this he ran into a shadow empire patrol, and they took him in.

Short Lived

Next thing Adriyel knew, he was an apprentice! His cubhood seemed to pass by in a blur of time, but the memories of his sibling’s death surely did stick with him very well. He eventually got his own simple set of armour, keeping it light and very simple. And quickly learned he had to make up for his size by being faster, smarter and more agile.
However he didn’t have long to enjoy the new rank,

He was on his third-ever- patrol, with a few other cats. Being the over-zealous and rebellious cat he is, he felt like he had to prove himself to the other bigger, better cats. And se when he caught a scent of prey along the border, he thought it was the perfect change to catch something and surprise his mentor with it. So he sneaked away from the patrol for a brief moment, following the scent, not realizing as time went by how far he was going. All he could think about was how proud his mentor would be of him, how he was finally becoming a gladiator. As he was moving another, stronger scent washed over him, he ignored it, seeing the rabbit just ahead…just one more step…one…more..

“Empire scum!!” A roar came from behind him, every hair on his spine stood up in sheer horror at the snarl. It was a hunter, he turned around looking around to see himself surrounded by the huge evil cats, and his eye’s as big as moon’s.

“Don’t be scared…It won’t hurt…Much…” One of them smiled at him, showing off her huge sharp teeth.

The Capture

After the Hunter’s had their…fun with him, beating him up until satisfied, and leaving many scars for him to remember them by. They then dragged his unconscious body back, were he stayed caged up for a month. The humans seeing his collar eventual found his previous owner and returned him. And he found himself right back where he started as a cub. Right back where his mother used to be, he even looked for her the first week he stayed there. But they kept him locked up and alone at first, not feeding him a lot, keeping him weak.

After the first couple of weeks they moved him next to another smaller cat, a young caracal. They started to feed him more, he grew stronger and slowly gained his strength back. But he had lost all hope, he always just stayed in the corner of his cage, never talked to anyone. The caracal started to talk to him though, at first he didn’t want to respond, but after a while he started to answer the older cat. He remembered one conversation he had that had sparked his hope once more….

“Adriyel why are you always so down and hopeless? What about your friends in Shadow Empire you told me about? Don’t you want to escape, to see them again?” She asked,

“I’m not down…I’m sure they miss me I just…for once I don’t see an optimistic side. I don’t see any reason to be hopeful.” The serval answered,

“There’s always reason, you make hope Adriyel, and you choose to give up…Or keep fighting.”

Adriyel didn’t answer his friend, and thought on those words for the next few nights. Finally he decided it was time to make his own hope….Time to fight.

The Escape

A few days passed, the human were moving him to another cage, closer to some other servals. As they leashed him and dragged him along, he looked up at the caracal as he passed her cage. Finding new hope fill his bones, and new strength come over him. She nodded at him, then, suddenly she leaped at her cage bars snarling and growling.
The human jumped, distracted and surprised for a moment, a moment long enough for him to strike. He chomped down on the human holding his leash, he felt the rope tugging on his blue collar, and after a second of struggle he pulled his head through the collar loop. Running towards the gate – then stopped and turned around

“Blade! I won’t leave you!” He said, facing the now pissed off angry humans.

“Adriyel, go, come back for me later, you have no choice! Go! GO!” She yelled, as the human’s came racing at him like thunderous monsters. Turning and sprinted through the gate, disappearing into the dark corners of the alley ways in the city. His small frame made it easy for him to slip into the smallest of places and sneak around unseen.
He had lost track of time after the hours of running and hiding, but finally…Finally he was out of the city. Finally, he was home. That night he dragged his tired paws back into his empire, and collapsed in the hollow under a tree. As his eye lids started to close with exhaustion he made one promise…
“I’ll be back for you Blade…I promise…” He whispered.
