About
Personality

Snarky and Sarcastic
Scaeden takes a lot of pride in his words. The way he speaks and presents himself to others is very carefully thought out. He believes that, at times, words can have more impact than actions. Scaeden likes to present himself as a brilliant and sarcastic cat who is affected by nothing.

Motivated and Determined
Scaeden will stop at nothing to get what he wants. If he fails, he takes it very hard on himself and tends to blame others for his own mistakes. Examples of this are when he first tried to help capture Valon, he blamed Caelina for not planning well enough. When Caelina was killed, he accused Soren and Fire Empire for not caring.

Annoying and Rude
Scaeden loves to get into other cats’ business for no reason other than to just annoy them. He’s very blunt and tends to like to make other cats feel dumb. He mostly just likes the attention. Once he gets more fond of someone, though, he teases them lightly.

Loyal and Accepting
Seeming out of place with the rest of his personality, Scaeden would do anything to help cats that he is close to. He would do anything to save them or keep a secret. He also tends to not dislike very many cats, unless they are downright disrespectful and don’t listen to what he has to say.

Independent
Scaeden thinks he doesn’t need anybody else’s help. He can do it all on his own and can figure everything out himself.

Smart and Strategic
Planning strategies and plans of attack is Scaeden’s specialty. He can come up with extremely creative ways to train apprentices, hunt for Empire cats, or even catch their next meal. He thinks of everything, puts everything into perspective in a way that he can see the whole picture. He is also easily able to manipulate his plans on the spot until they are perfected, which makes him an excellent leader.

Background
Before Bounty Hunter Life
Scaeden's mother was a breeder. She mated with the strongest lynxes and produced the healthiest kits. He barely has any memory of his mother. The only thing he can remember from the short time when she was around is bright blue eyes on a bold-colored lynx, which he has always assumed was his mother’s. Scaeden wasn’t always called Scaeden. His birth name was Drop, named after the rain-drop markings on his sides. His mother named his whole litter after things she had only ever seen that were able to leave the confinements of the city. Drops of rain were one of them, and his sibling’s names were Bolt (after lightning), Sparrow, and Breeze.

There is a specific memory that Scaeden has that is mostly shrouded in mystery because of a particular event that happened shortly after his encounter with a strange, yet familiar lynx. There was an arena cat owner that liked to work with the breeders that Drop’s mother belonged to. When Drop’s litter of four was born, the breeders took him, his siblings, and his mother to see the owner. The owner took particular interest in Drop and another of one his siblings. However, as the owner and the breeder were talking, Drop noticed a pair of bright, icy blue eyes peering at his mother through the bars of a cage. Drop snuck off to the curious cat, not bound to a chain like his mother was. His sister, Bolt, called him back, but he ignored her. This older cat was covered in intricate armor and scars. Drop was fascinated. He smiled, but the moment didn’t last long. The owner saw Drop and, angry because the breeder let his litter wander around so freely, denied any possible sales and sent them away. That was Drop’s last chance to ever get to grow up alongside his half-brother, Soren.

Disappointed in the unfortunate event, the breeder looked for anybody to sell the cubs to. There was a rich, insane owner who wanted to take all four cubs off the breeder’s hands for reasons the breeder was unaware of. Selling the litter and leaving, the owner took the cubs immediately into a cage with two tigers, crazed with bloodlust and delusional beyond saving. He meant to use the cubs as ‘play things’, just a treat for his two prized champion fighters. He tossed them into the cage, and the tigers lunged.

Two of the cubs were dead within minutes. Sparrow and Breeze laid in bloody heaps in front of the two surviving cubs, paralyzed with fear. The tigers went after Drop and Bolt, but Bolt, much smaller but more brave than Drop, leaped in front of her brother and got smacked down, a sickening crunch echoing when her small body hit the hard ground. She fell limp and bloody, and Drop suddenly became furious, but still terrified. When one of the tigers lashed with his fangs at the remaining cub, Drop let his claws out and bloodied the tiger’s eyes. By this time, the crazy owner had taken an extreme liking to Drop’s enthusiasm, and when the lynx cub ran by the cage door, the human scooped him up and threw him into a nearby empty cage, making a promise to turn him into a real killer. The owner then gave him the name he would keep for the rest of his life; Scaeden.

The newly named arena Gladiator didn’t watch when the owner raked his sibling’s bodies out of the tigers’ cage and threw them out into the street to rot. The trauma from the horrifying experience wiped Scaeden’s memory of his older brother, and ever since then, he always associated the icy blue eyes with his mother.

For the first year of his life, Scaeden was trained to be a Gladiator in the coliseum. At first, he hated his training, but as soon as he made his first kill, a young ocelot cub, he realized how powerful he could be. As he began winning more and more, his owners began to put him in the arena with big cats. Every fight he entered ended in a kill. His owner raked in tons of money from him, but went bankrupt after betting on a small cub while drunk one night. The cub lost, obviously, and Scaeden's owner handed over all their money. When he came to the next morning, he realized what he had done. When he realized what he had lost, he began training Scaeden as hard as he could, so the Emperor would choose him to be a Hunter and he would get the large amount of money for it. Scaeden's battles became quicker and easier, his kills more efficient. When the Emperor noticed this, he immediately chose Scaeden to be a Hunter, and his owner was paid a great deal.

Scaeden liked the life of a Hunter significantly more than the life of a Coliseum fighting cat. There was the perfect amount of freedom, and instead of his fights being for show and money, they were real. The fights meant something. Scaeden felt a sense of importance and meaning when he Hunts for Empire cats. Because of this, he loves his job and is a better fighter now than he ever was before.

As A Bounty Hunter
When Scaeden was 3, he got himself into a series of Hunts for the Air Empire leader, Valon. It was an accident, really. He happened to hear the cry of a fellow Hunter fighting an Empire cat. He ran to the cry to see it was Selineen. He had known there was a small party of cats in Air Empire trying to retrieve Valon; and he suspected they were going to need help because of a thunderstorm that was raging through the night. One thing led to another, and he found himself in the middle of a tussle between an Air Empire patrol and a few of his fellow Bounty Hunters, Caelina and Kleio. In the Air Empire patrol was the Air Empire leader, Valon. During the battle, he and Valon grew a deep hatred for each other. Scaeden didn't realize that his hatred for Valon would get him mixed up in some very odd situations.

The Bounty Hunters lost that battle, and Scaeden was furious. He hated Valon, absolutely hated him. He came up with another plan to capture the serval, and soon, he and Selineen were off in Air Empire again. They tricked Valon into trusting them, and Valon led them straight into Fire Empire to confront the Fire Empire Gladiator Nimbus and her leader, Soren, who is also Scaeden's half-brother (neither one of them know this yet). Little did Valon or Soren know, Scaeden had a patrol of five more Bounty Hunters waiting for them in Fire Empire. Just as the meeting with the two Empires was coming to a close, Scaeden launched the attack. Again, the Bounty Hunters were forced to retreat, but Scaeden did accomplish something that no Bounty Hunter had ever tried before; he got two Empires to mistrust each other greatly. He also managed to get himself and Caelina, who was in the patrol, captured by Fire Empire. When they were taken to the camp, they noticed they weren't alone. Two Bounty Hunter apprentices, Furie and Juno, were also being held captive after a failed attempt to raid Fire Empire's camp and capture the healer.

This is when Scaeden's life began to get turned around. The four captive Bounty Hunters were given a chance at the life of an Empire cat, and the offer was hard to refuse, but eventually, they did refuse. Fire Empire cast them out into the dreadful abyss of the unknown lands, beyond Empire territory, left to fend for themselves. On their way back, Scaeden, enraged with the fact they had been just thrown out like trash to die, managed to find Shadow Empire's territory, and managed to capture three of their Empire cats in revenge. When they reached the city, the Hunters made him their new leader.

Scaeden now stands strong, an new, fiery hatred for the Empires burning in his chest. But somehow...he still finds it hard to imagine himself taking down Fire Empire. Maybe one day he'll find the strength to do so, but for now he will make do with the other four Empires.

Extra Facts
Scaeden's scars are all from Bounty Hunting, except his ear. The scars on his side he got from Andromeda, the Fire Empire Silver Gladiator. The ones on his face are from Soren, Fire Empire Leader. His paws are also scarred underneath the bandages from Vayea (Air Empire Silver Gladiator) and Andromeda.

Scaeden gets very bad migraines and backaches from when Valon (Air Empire Leader) smashed his back and dislocated a part of it.

/ /Shadow - "Shadow! I wish I had more time to spend sparring with her like we used to. But new responsibilities make that difficult, and I feel bad, but there’s not much I can do about it. She’s almost a full Hunter. I can’t wait to have her on our squad. I consider her another one of my close friends."

/fav.me/d537z6v” >Juno- “I have a lot of respect for this cat. I’m glad she’s a Hunter now. Maybe one day she’ll be saving my ass, not the other way around. She’s a good friend and a good Hunter.”

/fav.me/d68fohs” >Furie- “Another cat I’m glad to have around, another friend. Although as far as I know, he needs to make a move on Juno. Like, quickly. I’ll have to start getting on his case about that.”

Selineen - "She walked into two different Empire's territories based on my word. I trust her. I don't care what anyone else says. She's proven herself to me."

Kleio - "Haven't talked to her much. She died? Well, that's unfortunate. However, a sand cat in a group of vicious killers...didn't seem likely that she would have survived long anyways."

/ Milla - "She abandoned us in a hunt! We needed all the cats we could get! And she just ran back to the city to...I don't know! Play with her cub or something! If she would have followed through and come to help...Caelina may not be dead, I would never have been captured...ugh! I just can't stand her. She's lost my respect. Next time I see her...you can guarantee it won't be pretty."

Torex - "I love his size. He's a huge asset to the Bounty Hunters. It comforts me to have him around, despite what I've heard about him."

Shadie - "She joined me in a hunt once, but she didn't really talk. She knows how to follow orders and such, so I have no reason to dislike her. Yet."

/ Ariyn - "She doesn't like me? Alright, then, I don't have to like her, either. She's too cold and standoffish anyways. However she came on the Lightning Empire raid and proved herself. She’s a good asset."

/ fav.me/d537ki1” >Iota- “…Hmph. Yeah, well. As much as I don’t like him and he disrespects me, we are exactly the same in different ways. Nonetheless, he doesn’t listen very well. Annoying as hell.”

/ Aella - "I like her. She listens well and seems like she has excellent potential to be a worthy Hunter."

Empire Cats

Valon - "Ah, Valon...this cat...I don't know what to say about him anymore. He's foolish. He's obsessed with keeping his Empire safe, even at the cost of his own life. He trusted me. That was a mistake, and he knew it, but he helped me anyways. Now, he's going to pay the price."

Avita - "Ah, she's the leaders mate? She shouldn't have tagged along on that meeting...it almost cost her her cubs. And Valon's life. She was foolish."

// Soren - "He offered us a new life...a life to serve him. That's a sick offer. Why would I want to leave my life as a Bounty Hunter...a free, unbounded Bounty Hunter...to live under his rules and his eyes? No thank you. Then, to add to that fact, he threw us out in the middle of nowhere to fend for ourselves! Caelina almost died because of him. He better watch his back, because once we're ready, the Bounty Hunters are coming for him."

Nimbus - "This cat..is huge. She's a brute and protects cats from other Empires. She, along with Valon, ruined our hunt. She is definitely not one of my favorite cats ever."

/ Brutus - "He's huge, he's strong, he's respectable, he's dangerous. It disappoints me that he's not a Bounty Hunter. He would be nice to have around. He’s as big as Troy!"

/ Andromeda - "I still hate everyone from Fire Empire. Nothing else to say about that."

/ Alynnia - "She doesn't know what she's getting herself into. If she wants to keep her head and dignity, she'll stay away. She should know better. I'm dangerous and would just end up hurting her. Which, I mean...as a Bounty Hunter, I really shouldn't mind, right? But...not in this way. This seems...petty. I need another excuse. Another way to get to her. I'm not sure what that is yet, but I'll figure it out eventually."

fav.me/d5gire9” >Abiola- “Ha! This silly little scrap of fur thought he and his Empire could actually win. That’s far too…optimistic. You shouldn’t give your Empire false hope like that, Abiola. Now you’re dead, and your Empire is in ruins. Congratulations.”

fav.me/d54j000” >Accalia- “She’s the reason most of her Empire is torn apart. She’s the reason we attacked. She should have known that betraying the Bounty Hunters was going to end well for no one. And now she’s paid the price. At least we have her in our paws again.”

Roleplay Example
Taken from a real roleplay

The surprise in Soren's eyes was plain. He wasn't trying to hide it. A wash of emotion flooded over Scaeden, but he didn't know exactly what it was. It wasn't quite satisfaction, but he wasn't disappointed either. He realized he had actually been expecting Soren to believe him. A part of him knew Soren was much more intuitive than the Air Empire leader. The fiery leader based his decisions off his mind, but his emotions were intertwined as well. Scaeden respected him for that, at a sort of hate-based level.

When Soren told Scaeden to call off the fight, Scaeden just nodded solemnly and turned his head to the green eyes in the bushes, which still watched him intensely. "Caelina. Go home. Shadie, go with her. Call a retreat." He caught a glimpse of Caelina's wounds through the dark trees, her fur soaked in her own blood. He didn't want her to die, he didn't want anyone to die. As much as he knew the others were crazy and half insane, they were still part of their own kind of "Empire". To enforce his orders and make sure Caelina followed them, he snarled, "Now."

He looked back to Soren, trusting Caelina to honor his words. Even pinned under the enemy with half his blood in a pool around him, he was still the leader of the ragtag group of Hunters, and they had to follow what he said. He said to Soren, "They'll be gone within a few minutes." He paused and thought, I'm sorry for any harm that may have come to your Empire. All we wanted was Valon. But he said nothing else out loud, for fear of upsetting Soren any more than he already had.

The moon shone bright as if it was attempting to fill in the darkness and empty spaces of the world. But Scaeden knew better than anyone else that there were some places in the deepest depths of the mind light would never touch.

This reference in under constant construction. It will keep changing as the character keeps developing.

Nimbus - "This cat..is huge. She's a brute and protects cats from other Empires. She, along with Valon, ruined our hunt. She is definitely not one of my favorite cats ever."

/ Brutus - "He's huge, he's strong, he's respectable, he's dangerous. It disappoints me that he's not a Bounty Hunter. He would be nice to have around. He’s as big as Troy!"

/ Andromeda - "I still hate everyone from Fire Empire. Nothing else to say about that."

/ Alynnia - "She doesn't know what she's getting herself into. If she wants to keep her head and dignity, she'll stay away. She should know better. I'm dangerous and would just end up hurting her. Which, I mean...as a Bounty Hunter, I really shouldn't mind, right? But...not in this way. This seems...petty. I need another excuse. Another way to get to her. I'm not sure what that is yet, but I'll figure it out eventually."

fav.me/d54j000” >Accalia- “She’s the reason most of her Empire is torn apart. She’s the reason we attacked. She should have known that betraying the Bounty Hunters was going to end well for no one. And now she’s paid the price. At least we have her in our paws again.”

Roleplay Example
Taken from a real roleplay

The surprise in Soren's eyes was plain. He wasn't trying to hide it. A wash of emotion flooded over Scaeden, but he didn't know exactly what it was. It wasn't quite satisfaction, but he wasn't disappointed either. He realized he had actually been expecting Soren to believe him. A part of him knew Soren was much more intuitive than the Air Empire leader. The fiery leader based his decisions off his mind, but his emotions were intertwined as well. Scaeden respected him for that, at a sort of hate-based level.

When Soren told Scaeden to call off the fight, Scaeden just nodded solemnly and turned his head to the green eyes in the bushes, which still watched him intensely. "Caelina. Go home. Shadie, go with her. Call a retreat." He caught a glimpse of Caelina's wounds through the dark trees, her fur soaked in her own blood. He didn't want her to die, he didn't want anyone to die. As much as he knew the others were crazy and half insane, they were still part of their own kind of "Empire". To enforce his orders and make sure Caelina followed them, he snarled, "Now."

He looked back to Soren, trusting Caelina to honor his words. Even pinned under the enemy with half his blood in a pool around him, he was still the leader of the ragtag group of Hunters, and they had to follow what he said. He said to Soren, "They'll be gone within a few minutes." He paused and thought, I'm sorry for any harm that may have come to your Empire. All we wanted was Valon. But he said nothing else out loud, for fear of upsetting Soren any more than he already had.

The moon shone bright as if it was attempting to fill in the darkness and empty spaces of the world. But Scaeden knew better than anyone else that there were some places in the deepest depths of the mind light would never touch.
