Personality
Overprotective | Brave | Cheerful | Trusting | Devious | Ignorant | Flirtatious | Rebellious

Overprotective
"Stay here, I'll deal with this."

Baluar has always been the kind of feline to go out of his way to keep his sisters from getting hurt or landing in harms way. He's the kind of guy who will actively try to stop both of his siblings from doing something stupid before he himself will go and try it. Anybody tries to attack them? He's there to try to stop it, and while he tries his best to give them space and allow them the opportunity to be... well... grown adults, he still can't help but feel he needs to fight their battles for them at times. He is very much so a big brother and the time he and his sisters spent alone has convinced him that he needs to be there for them... even if they are entirely capable of taking care of themselves at this point in time.

Brave
"I'll go in and get the cubs, I don't care if it's dangerous."

Bravery isn't the act of having no fear, but the act of facing your fears head on in order to help others or better a situation. Baluar is the kind of feline who will always step up and do his best to take care of others and protect others, and while it can sometimes come off as foolish or even dangerous, he is willing to put his life on the line for others.

Cheerful
"Even if it rains, I'm sure we'll find something to do."

Baluar is always willing to look on the bright side and has generally held a pretty happy disposition even if he doesn't understand what's going on. He's the kind of cat that likes to crack jokes and keep the conversation as relaxed as possible. Stress isn't exactly easy for him to handle, so he tries to defuse most situations with pep talks and good company. He's the kind of cat that believes everybody should smile every now and again.

Trusting
"I'm sure those cats off in the distance are friendly..."

Plato's parenting gave Baluar the tools to trust others and believe in second chances, not only for himself but for others. As a cat who has only ever worked with felines who have been open and honest with him, he has trouble believing the others can truly be cruel or mean. Maybe this is naive of him, but he's never really lived within the Empires before, and being a rogue has only taught him that most of these cats just... don't want to get caught. He's always willing to let others into his home and heart, even if it isn't the wisest move...

He isn't, however, entirely dumb, as he will be the first to turn against a friend if they prove themselves to be dangerous. (That won't stop him from giving them a second chance later if they prove themselves though... which is concerning)

Devious
"I put cobwebs in her nest"

Baluar is a prankster. He's the kind of cat that likes to do small things that bother his siblings and causes mild discomfort for others, though he tries his best not to cross the line in how far he goes. He's here to play simple tricks and give others a little grief when he feels they need it, though sometimes he worries his tricks go too far.

Ignorant
"What's a bounty hunter?"

Give the guy some slack. He's heard plenty about Ice Empire but most of the dangers of living near Massilia were something he considered to be more akin to scary bedtime stories. He's in for a rude awakening when he finally meets a hunter face to face. While he's good at hunting, he's still not entirely ready to fight another cat, and despite all of that, he wants to consider himself a warrior! It'll take time, but eventually he'll find out that the world of Massilia is not an easy one to live in.

Flirtatious
"Well you're pretty soft on the eyes..."

The guy is four years old and hasn't exactly managed to up his game. He likes to play the flirt but he's pretty bad at it and while he likes to consider himself to be a bit of a ladies kind of guy... he's definitely inflating his ego quite a bit considering the fact that he doesn't... really know how to flirt and hasn't really interacted with anybody else aside from his family. Give it some time though, he'll eventually get there... Or at least, that's what he's hoping for.

Rebellious
"You can't tell me what to do, you're not my real dad."

Baluar likes to question things. He's the kind of cat that, due to his ignorance, isn't willing to accept that "this is how the world is" when dealing with any kind of situation. He doesn't really like being given orders and doesn't really care what others think of him.

Background

Life gave Baluar a bad start. Abandoned not even two months after his birth, he and his two sisters come from a life of surprises and triumph. His parents, unknown to him in name, were the kind of felines who had litter after litter after litter without much thought on the matter. Breeders who, one day, found themselves outside of their pens and somehow in the midst of a large scale breakout in the city of Trasimenus, which served as a halfway point for traders bound for Rome or Massilia. Through the current of cats, they were left out in the woods alone at the edge of fall, the weather already turning colder as October slowly moved towards November. His mother was due any day, and when she finally had her cubs, she kept with them until they were ready to be weened.

She and his father left them there in the midst of winter, January was cold and the children weren't exactly going to be able to take care of themselves. Having been the kind of parents who didn't really want to stick around and care for their three children, the young snow tigon was left alone to defend his sisters and protect them. Something his father told him before leaving them all behind.

Those words left a lasting impression on Baluar. He knew before they had fully left his field of vision that his life was bound to be a short one. Within a week the cold was going to have killed them, and if it wasn't for Plato stumbling upon their den, they probably wouldn't have lasted.

Plato came across the three and quickly adopted them as his own, seeing it as a sign from the gods that he was still meant to be a father. He helped Baluar and his sisters survive, and while Baluar often tried to prove that he was capable of taking care of them on his own, Plato's gentle guidance reminded him that he didn't have to put so much pressure on himself as he continued to grow older.

The older feline had been lost in the middle of the Roman wilderness looking for his family when he had found them. They reminded him of the children he left behind in Massilia, and any time Baluar asked him what his life had been like, he was regaled with stories of empires and the great wilderness. When Plato learned that the siblings had no names, he took it upon himself to give them ones. Baluar was named for his fiery pelt, similarly named to another son that Plato missed dearly, while his two newly found daughters were given names of similar mythical value.

They traveled together for most of Baluar's life, and when Plato finally decided it was time to return home, Baluar agreed to follow behind at a distance, as the Snow Tiger mentioned he was worried he wouldn't be accepted back into Ice readily. Though Baluar didn't understand why (Plato was most assuredly a good feline, they'd welcome him back with open paws), he felt obligated to give Plato a chance to prove himself before arriving in Ice, and as such, didn't fully let himself or his sisters arrive in the area until a few months had passed.

This decision, however, wasn't entirely because Baluar had wanted it to be this way. No. He currently is living as a rogue because he and his sister, Nerina, are looking for their third sibling, who was separated from them on their trip. The two hope that they'll eventually find her and return to their father as the trio he always cared for.

For now, they have settled into rogue territory, though Baluar still doesn't quite understand what that means.

Roleplay Example & RP Information

The lion was not surprised to hear of the decision Andromeda had made when it came to name the silver gladiator. Aglaia had risen to the occasion while she was gone, and although Brutus had known that at some point he was expected to be silver... he was completely fine in not being that choice. The tigress was much younger than he was... and more than likely going to survive longer than he or Andromeda would.

It was sad, ever since Soren had died, death had been a constant burden on the lion's shoulders. The calls died out, and in that time, the lion was able to see Andromeda move from Skycaller's Rock. It was strange of the white lion to see the snow leopardess coming from a place he associated with the fiery lynx he had become good friends with, but all the same, he had always known this day would come. Soren had always been a fighter, and with that kind of spirit, it had always been likely that he would die in the lines of battle over that of quietly in his nest... Though he knew how much it tore Andromeda apart.

He had always thought the two of them would eventually be together as a happy couple, Soren and Andromeda, especially with how Andromeda had been so close to the little cub Soren had brought home with him all those moons ago... back when the hunters hadn't nearly doubled in force... before Abiola had died. Brutus would never admit that he knew who's cubs they were; the markings around young Ryusei's eyes were too much like another snow leopard Brutus had known... Nedria.

It wasn't hard to guess, though Soren had eventually admitted it to Brutus... if his memory served correctly.

"Andromeda" His gruff voice called out as the other felines milled away. "I approve of your choice... not that it matters." It seemed strange talking to her as a friend when she was now his leader, but Brutus pushed that thought away. He had treated Soren as a friend, and she had been a friend when she had been only a silver... what had changed? Other than Soren's death... "Do you want some company... maybe to go out on a patrol of the territory?" If it had been any other time, he would have said stroll instead of patrol, but he doubted being lax at such a time as this would ease the snow leopardess any. Andromeda was too serious for that kind of matter... and a times, he himself was the same as well.

This was going to be a hard couple of months on the two of them. "If you don't want to, I understand, but I figured that you would need the company..." He glanced away for a moment before quietly adding: "We have both lost a great friend... maybe even something more... I figured you would want somebody to have a heart to heart with. As a friend, you know I'm here for you if you need it."
