PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION;;
grey is a lithe, muscular russian blue tom with piercing grey eyes the colour of a rainy day. his fur is rather thick, hiding the large, long scars that mark his flanks if he sits just right, if not they are very prominent and pink. his build is fairly average if not slightly above, being slightly muscular but not exactly hulking. he looks very soft and nonthreatening, but he has abnormally sharp teeth and claws that aid him in battle and give him a very lethal advantage over brute strength. his ears and eyes are pretty small, but his large paws and long tail make up for them. he has a very narrowed face that gives him an almost regal aura.
PERSONALITY/TRAITS;;
BITTER + SNARKY + REASONABLE + STANDOFFISH
bitter + angry, hurt, or resentful because of one's bad experiences or a sense of unjust treatment
grey wasn't exactly a favourite of anyone, no matter if he was polite or not, resulting in him constantly having a bitter taste in his mouth that spills out onto others when he speaks. he constantly feels hurt and resents himself. especially his past as a kittypet. he despises everything about himself and takes the pain out on others whether he means to or not, making him very difficult to talk sense into.
snarky + sharply critical; cutting; snide; cranky; irritable
it isn't a good idea to try and outsmart grey, as he'll turn your own words on you without lifting a claw. his remarks are not to be taken lightly, as they tend to hit hard where it already hurts. a lot of this comes from his rough background, usually a mask of confidence and anger over his sadness. if he didn't act like this, he would feel weak and pathetic and he already felt like that once. it's a result of a promise he made to himself.
reasonable + having sound judgment; fair and sensible
however grey may be angry and bitter, he knows when to end a fight or not to pick one in the first place. he hates it, but he can be logical when it comes to his own survival. he can be very neutral as well and not pick sides until coming to a sound conclusion. this conflicts a lot with his need to be bitter and only care for himself. deep down, he feels a lot, enough to be logical, but he hates that part of him and tucks it away behind a thick veil of denial and bitterness.
standoffish + distant and cold in manner; unfriendly
especially around others, grey is very distant and very cold in his demeanour. he doesn't talk much, and speaks plainly if he does, more or less keeping everything on the inside. he's not sociable and definitely not friendly. he keeps his distance from others, physically and mentally, as he is afraid of being thrown out or abused again. he doesn't want to get close out of pure fear.
DISORDER[S]/DISABILITY[IES];;
nightmares
slightly deaf in right ear
HISTORY;;
not a topic that grey likes to talk about, he was once a kittypet and he enjoyed it. he was constantly pampered and didn't have to work for a thing. however, once he got older he was thrown out and replaced with another cat. afterwards, he was abused on the streets and treated like garbage-- not just by other cats but by twoleg kits as well. a lot of his scars come from that abuse. he lost hearing in his right ear because of twolegs, which is why he hates them. he wandered for a while, keeping his distance from others and looking for a place he could call his home. this is an abandoned nest on the outskirts of the twoleg place.
