WARNING: Viewing the face shot in this picture may cause your head to explode into candy. Just as an FYI.
IF YOU ARE DRAWING HIM:
Most things are random, except for-
-All of the markings directly on his face, though they can be slightly altered. Just, there's a stripe down the middle, he has a "mask", there are the two stripes on either side of his face, and those two blobby things on his forehead. Oh, and the darkness on his nose and ears. Also, the tip of his tail should remain dark, as well as the paws.
-The light colored spots should stay the same. The belly, underside of the neck, all around his mandibles, and about a third of the way down the underside of his tail. There is also a gradient of this color going down the paws.
-He does not get the armor until he is a gladiator. It is brass(Copper coated in a zinc alloy, then electroplated or held over flame. The edges were not held over flame, and thus remained silver from the zinc alloy.) and dark leather. The "gem" on his tail-blade is a hunk of Pyrite, or "fool's gold". HE DOES HAVE THE TAIL-BLADE, JUST SO YOU KNOW.
-The inside color of the spots. To get that color, take the same color as the outside of the spots, and bring the opacity down to 67%. Use a chisel-tip brush, that's what I used for most of his markings.
-His eyes. They are the darker blue, with the lighter blue in a ring around te pupil. I know that this is nothing like the real eye color of a clouded leopard, but I just felt like blue eyes, not hazel/gold ones. <3

Name: Prometheus

Gender: Male

Age: 10 Months

Species: Clouded Leopard

Rank: Gladiator Apprentice

Abilities: Because his tail is as long as he is, Prometheus has exceptional balance and agility. He also is able to strike his opponent from further away with the use of his tail-blade. Prometheus is very coordinated and intelligent, as well.

Relationships:

Aries: I love her. She's hot, nice, and... I just love her. And I hope she feels the same way about me.

Adisha: I like her, I really do, but she's just a cub, even if she is older than Aries... Wait, how does that work?

Maddox: He's my mentor, what can I say? He reminds me of Kadar.

Personality: Prometheus is smart, loyal, brave, cunning, and witty. Those traits combined with his physical prowess make him a great fighter and excellent student. His mentor should find it easy to teach Prometheus, as the young clouded leopard is eager and willing to learn.
Prometheus is devoted and full of loyalty to his Empire, aspiring to one day be a great gladiator. He loves his Leader, and pretty much worships him too.

Background:
Prometheus was born by a female clouded leopard that had been captured by a human poacher that also bred wild cats. In fact, the poacher also raised the cats he bred to be bounty hunters, and is a highly respected trainer of the Bounty Hunters.
Prometheus, when he was younger, very much wanted to please his cruel master, and was excited to become a Bounty Hunter.
One day, his view of this became altered greatly. See Roleplay Example for more info.
After running away from the poacher, Promethus ran into the forest that Kadar had said he came from. He was then welcomed by the Shadow Empire and became one of their most devoted apprentices.

Roleplay Example:
Prometheus didn't know why his Master was doing this. All he did was ask why it was better to be a Bounty Hunter than a wild cat! He'd just heard one of the prisoners shout something about freedom and liberty was all. He wanted to know what the thing was talking about. And then his master threw him in this awful cage, in with all the captured wild cats!
Prometheus paced about the cage, yowling in frustration. He just couldn't figure it out. Why had his beloved Master done this to him?
Suddenly, the cage door opened. "Master! I knew you'd change your-!" A large furry body was thrust into the cage onto Prometheus. The cage door slammed shut, the lock clicked.
Prometheus wriggled his way out from under the larger cat. He crouched in the corner, very much afraid. This was a wild cat, Prometheus knew, because he smelled like trees and lots of other cats. "What kind of cat are you?" He asked, his voice shaking.
The enormous black wild cat sat up, shaking himself. "I am Kadar, Gladiator of the Shadow Empire! I am a Panther. And who are you, young spotted cat?"
Prometheus snorted at the large cat's response. "I'm Prometheus, future Bounty Hunter! And I'm a Clouded Leopard, for your information!" The little cat spat, his fur fluffing up as the panther laughed.
"If you're a Bounty Hunter, what are you doing in a cage, locked up with us Empire cats?" He said, prodding Prometheus with his massive paw. "Shouldn't you be out training or hunting down us runaways?" The panther chuckled some more. "Or are you in here for punishment?"
Prometheus hadn't thought of it that way before. "P-punishment? But I didn't do anything wrong!" He panicked. "I just asked if it was better to be a Bounty Hunter than a wild cat!"
Putting his paw on the little cat's shoulder, Kadar the Gladiator spoke. "It is much, much better to be an Empire cat than it is to be a Bounty Hunter, young clouded leopard. And will always be this way, because being in an Empire is being a part of a family, which is something you simply cannot have here. Every Empire member is brother or sister to every other cat of that Empire, not by blood, but by heart. Different species, all trusting one another with their lives-- that is true family. Boy, I am going to guess that both your mother and father are either dead or kept away from you, and that is because your Master is trying to kill off any emotions you might have. He doesn't really care about you, you know. You are expendable. You're just a tool of his, to capture runaways and earn him more money and respect. When you are in an Empire, every member of that Empire cares about you and loves you, more than you can ever imagine." By the time Kadar finished speaking, Prometheus was bawling. "There there, young son of Zokoro, there there..."
"How do you know my father's name?" The young clouded leopard said between sobs.
"Because a long time ago, when I was younger, I knew a fierce Gladiator that was the same kind of cat as you. And you know what? You look just like him,"
"Really?"
"Of course."
There was a long silence.
"Kadar?"
"Yes, young Prometheus?"
"Do you think I could ever be a great Gladiator like my dad?"
"Of course, you would be fantastic."
"Where's the Shadow Empire at?"
When you leave the city, there is a vast stretch of forest to your right. Head for it, running as fast as you can. And take this, so they know you mean peace," In the dark, Kadar handed Prometheus a small round medallion. "This is mine, it was given to me by a friend of mine, named Crudus. He made it himself."
"Thank you." Prometheus whispered to his friend.

The next morning, Master came in and opened the cage door, pulling Prometheus out. "I hope you've learned your lesson, you little bastard." He said, throwing Prometheus to the hard concrete floor.
"As a matter of fact, I have!" He spat. "I'm leaving here, forever!" And with that, Prometheus ran out the open door and sprinted as far and fast as he could.
At the outskirts of the city, he stopped, and looked around. To his left, there were two rivers and a lot of low, flat land. He was sure the Bounty Hunters would outrun him there, overrunning him and killing him on the spot. But to his right lay a thick forest, where Kadar had said an Empire of Shadow cats lived. Fastening his medallion to his neck, Prometheus started off towards his new destination: The Shadow Empire.
