Description Aka: My Calidius replacement in Ice Empire! i'm joking Actually, I got enabled to make a second character to throw in the group, though two characters in EBC is definitely where I'm drawing the line this time. Basil's a big, floofy cinnamon roll of a boy though compared to tiny 'lil headstrong Marcellus, so that gives me one tol and one smol. alksjk last ebc ref upload I promise! I have an 8 day straight stretch to pull at work this week starting today, but after that I should be back with some actual art!

Basics:
Name: Basilisk
Nicknames: Basil; Cinnamon
Rank: Gladiator of Ice Empire
Age: arrived: 6 years; current: 6 years
Species: Tiger (Siberian predominate; cinnamon color mutation)

Personality:
[+] Patient; Loyal; A natural caretaker || [o] Casual; Outspoken; Tough || [-] Passive; somewhat lazy; clumsy

[+] "Just 'cause I couldn't make a City fighter doesn't mean I ain't about protectin' what's mine!"

Though Basil might not look the part at first with his passive nature and personality that seems to fit a den father over an actual gladitor, he was expected at one point to grow into a promising coliseum fighter. Though he's not the best on the battlefield despite his size, he's loyal and protective with the heart of a guardian. He'll protect anything and everything he considers precious to him; his long lost best friend and Empire leader, Chara, and everyone in Ice Empire included.

[o] "You don't look like a cat to swim, but wanna follow me to this really great spot I found anyway?"

Where Basil lacks in fighting skills and ferciousness, he makes up for in his laid back and calming demeanor. Though he's more a lover and friend than a fighter, he's a real calming prescense in the face of turmoils. He's also good with kits and cubs too and have seemingly endless patience when it comes to watching, guarding, and teaching the Empire's future.

[-] "This huntin' and patrollin' stuff's too much work. Can't we take turns or this time? Or at least stop for a snack?"

Though his casual natural also leads to a bout of pure laziness sometimes, too. He was rejected from the coliseum for being too passive and sent to grow up the soft and easy life of a pet in the hands of wealthy owners. He's soft and tends of brush off a few duties here and there for the sake of lounging in the sun or a nearby stream; often having to be reminded of the work he's responsible for. He doesn't like strenuous tasks and will often balk at chores that require him to do a lot of manual work. He also tends to complain more often when he's hungry too.

Background:

A tiger from the city, Basilisk was a feline slated to be used in the coliseums as a fighter. His larger than normal size as a cub made for a promising future as an elite entertainment fighter that’d bring in plenty of bets and funds for his owners. Unfortunately, his attitude as a passive and patient cat wouldn’t align well with the future his humans demanded of him, and before long, Basil was tossed from the line up of his owners most prized fighters and sent to a local couple to be a prized pet as a symbol of their power and wealth.

Being fawned over never sat well with Basil, especially when his status as a pet meant being cooped up in a small cage for most of the day. For some reason, his future always seemed to call for something more, like something was missing; like his paws were meant to tread a different ground than the hard, tiled floor his owners kept spotless.

The dirt of nearby waterfalls, the grass under his claws, the feel of water through his fur, a long lost friend-

Something was missing and his heart ached for it, so he turned his claws on his owners when they came to collect him from his pampered prison one day; not enough to kill, but enough to buy him a chance to escape. Running and running, his paws carried him away from the city and toward the open territories where pure instinct fueled his desire to get to something unknown; something wild.

He’s not sure where this trail in his future’s taking him, but for some reason, he doesn’t want to turn back now either.


Relationships and Linage:
Parents: Unknown male Siberian tiger x Unknown female Bengal tiger; born to a Coliseum fighter father and a breeder female
Mate: none
Cubs: none

Mentor(s) none
Apprentices: past: none; current: Hati

Friends and enemies:

Chara : Ice Empire's current leader and a long lost cubhood friend of Basil's. He's still unaware that she's in Ice Empire, let alone its leader, but maybe fate in meeting up with her again was what lead his paws to carry him north.

Current EP Count: 30EP

KaiserTiger In reply to Polarfleets [2019-08-20 07:18:04 +0000 UTC]

Omg totally, go ahead! I know I’m in the same spot where I don’t have a lot of time for actual rps and would rather just draw from headcanon plots too, so if you ever wanna toss ideas around, I’m cool with that. Otherwise I totally don’t mind you drawing Basil too c:

It might inspire me for something with him and Andersen later too <3

Just so you know, if we ever get the chance to have him and Zadar to interact. Zadar would definitely call him “Cinnamon”

Honestly, if that caught on as an Empire wide nickname like that, I'd laugh. But we'll definitely have to have him and Zadar interact someday!

So I'll be 100% honest I was sure he was a cub from those big sweet eyes in the thumbnail... but now I just know he's a HUUUUUUGGGGEEE cubby and that makes me super happy >u< I'm excited to see what you have planned for him!

KaiserTiger In reply to WingsandFeathers [2019-08-13 14:20:39 +0000 UTC]

He’s a big fluffy cinnamon roll of a boy but he’s a cub at heart? That totally still counts for him cx

But alsjk me too! I’ve plotted a few things out for him that’ll probably be pretty fun to watch develop, now if I could just get some time to actually work on his stuff, I’d be all set lol

lolol it's that pesky time... there's never enough of it in a day and non-important things like RL tend to take WAY too much of it lolol But hopefully we all get to see more of him >u<

I'm so glad to see you back and making artwork again. I could care less if you uploaded 23 EBC reference sheets, they're still glimpses into your art that I've been missing for a few years! I'm so glad you're finding time to do what has previously brought you joy!

KaiserTiger In reply to lillobita [2019-08-14 13:46:55 +0000 UTC]

Omg me too! I honestly forgot how much I actually liked drawing until I up and decided I was gonna find time for it again?? It's been a trick trying to balance everything I'd want to do with art with my irl schedule but at least I'm making an effort to upload again, so thanks! Someone definitely should've screamed at me a few years back <3

KaiserTiger In reply to Kattykinz [2019-08-07 22:47:50 +0000 UTC]

I did! Only because I got persuaded into bringing him in, but he's a big cinnamon roll to counter Marcellus' and his headstrong self??

But omg I totally am! We need to at least plot some things between him and your babs so I'll at least have prompts to draw Basil in. He needs friends and I've got a thing about sketching him lots
