As always, say if anything is wrong and things will be changed. This also serves as a proto update to my official level 5 update.

Name: Leon “Leo” Timyon
Race: Nekomata
Gender: Male
Age: 19-ish. Though he has obviously been around a bit longer.
Height: 5’ 11” when slouched and 6'3" standing straight
Weight: Well Built, somewhat thin in appearance
Hair Color: Very light blue, could be confused with whitish blond
Eye Color: Blue
School of Thought: Epicurean

History:
-He currently lives in a tree with his girlfriend. He found a curious portal and wants to know more about it, so decided to set out and figure the bugger out.

Personality Quirks
-Known to ignore many advances made by those who want him at times, yet unable to resist the feeblest attempts of others.
-Sometimes bad mouths considerably when in battle
-Arrogant and sure of himself in the sense of his own limits, and often won't be intimidated until someone has shown they are better than him in actual combat
-Obsesses at times
-Often ignores most physical clothing of people without much of a second thought. However this only applies to things like jewelry and whatnot. Non-natural things.
-Tends to be headstrong, rushing into situations/battles/plans/knives without a second thought. However, he also tends to rush into things with more then a few cards he could play.
-Often has a couple tricks hidden up his sleeve in most instances, though they are generally the same no matter what situation.
-Often tends to respect ingenuity far more then actual skill.

Appearance:
Leon is almost hard to look on upon first glance. While graceful, and also good looking, there is something disconcerting upon first glance. Many pass it off to their eyes playing tricks on them, and leave it be. This is mostly due to his somewhat longer arms. As well, they are not terribly larger, but are more muscled now, and his hands at the end are closer to paws. An interesting note, is that he only has three thick fingers, and a thumb at each hand. He wears a hard green ring on his right thumb. His legs are the same, and end with four thick toes on each paw. One important note is the retractable claws where ordinary humans have finger and toenails. His claws and teeth are sufficiently strong to puncture metal with a considerable amount of effort, though doing so with his teeth would jar them badly. His claws would still be fine, though his hands would probably be sore.

Two fuzzy white ears stick out the side of his head, somewhat above the place where a normal ear would be. As well, he is somewhat more feline in face, though hardly enough to truly warrant an inspection. A curious thing to note as well, is that when he smilies, it is almost as if there are too many teeth, or that they are larger and pointier than they should be. In reality, they are. His two tails is considerably longer as well, trailing along the ground most of the time It is also semi-prehensile, and can contact (but not grasp and lift) objects with it. There are a considerable amount of scars that litter his chest, many of which look old, as if they happened many many years ago. Oddly enough, He often wears baggy clothes, hiding a somewhat muscular form underneath, combined with a slouch he appears quite a bit smaller than he really is. He also doesn't wear shoes, the thick pads of his feet providing more than enough padding.

Weapons

Super Yarn Ball: This is a special magic Yarn ball that Leo got from a friend. There are special qualities to this little ball of yarn though, some that can make it a formidable weapon in the right hands. For this is no ordinary yarn, for its fibers are as hard as copper. Leo has gotten over this, for it is an exceptionally good-looking ball of yarn. It’s dark blue; almost so much that it appears to be black. Its touch, while hard, is still soft and warm. Also, Leo can make the yarn into something of a bandage if truly needed, although it doesn’t do much to stop blood flow. Can’t be used for what yarn is really meant for though. It is roughly 100 feet when completely un-furled. Strength of copper.

“Stealth” yarn - Magic yarn ball that is able to change to basically any color at the owner’s mental command, however, it cannot change colors quickly, and is easily seen when not agianst something. 50 yards long, considered to be the same as the Super Yarn Ball.

Yo-Yo: A blunt yo-yo that has a special string attached to it. That being that the strong has the resistance strength of iron. The actual yo-yo itself though is made of steel, and the string is roughly 4 feet long.

Spear: Short spear made out of Deyln and of Liviol wood. Found in a dragon's lair and used to escape.

Red Jian - A red, damascas, blade that weighs 2 lbs. Enchanted, sword does indeed feel like 20 lbs to any who hold it, but to those being struck by it, it only adds an extra 7 lbs of weight to the strike. Has the comparative striking force as a greatsword currently.

Natural Weapons
Claws = Comparative qualities to Damascas. On his hands and feet. Bone in reality
Teeth = Comparative qualities to Damascas, Bone in reality.

Armor
Sifan Hat – A black sifan hat that can cover basically all of Leon’s hair and ears. It can be pulled down to also easily let the wearer sleep when the sun is around. Not worn that often anymore.
Jacket – His favorite jacket. This is of black material with blue flames along the sleeves and hem. It is unique in that there are weightless steel plates woven into the fabric, giving it the same qualities as plate mail armor.

Items
Pack of Cards- Leo carries around these cards for when he gets bored and wants to play some games with others.
Yarn Balls (3)- Three yarn balls that Leo almost endlessly plays around with. One would wonder how he was able to stay entertained for so long with them and not get bored. Are Fire retardant. To be honest though, he doesn’t know himself. All 100 feet right now Colors= Dark Green, Crimson, and Blue
Energy Pills (7)- This is what most humans call a coffee bean. Being a cat-boy and not a full human, these have an added effect on him. What humans need to grind down and mix with water, he can just chew and get the same energy as a single cup of coffee for each pill.
Knife- Used in case so entangled in yarn there is no escape. Not sharp enough to cut through much above linen.
Ring – Diamond ring worth 350 gold.
Green Ring – A ring that fits onto his right thumb well. Gold, with a green inlay along the middle and unbreakable, effectively adamantine.
Credit – A line of credit in the bazaar worth 2100 gold.
Pouch – A very special pouch, as this contains some of Kedx's ashes and his fangs. It's unknown what properties they have. (Nothing really, but may be used in a later thread for plot purposes.)


Special Traits

Name-description (where it is from)
Speed/Agility/Reflexes- Leon is known to be incredibly fast (6x a normal human), but also is able to control his speed incredibly well. Though he needs to rest after exerting himself too hard. Usually only for a moment or two. ((Cat side innate))
Strength- Oddly enough Leon is able to match most peoples strength with little trouble, though upwards 300 pounds it get harder, hitting a max quickly after. However, this is only when pushed, otherwise his strikes are generally about the same as a weak man his size. Though with claws it makes little difference.((Natural))
Hide of Scars- His body can repel most attacks with sharp[/b[ edges without a bit of force. It is also shown this is slightly more effective on his furred parts. Could be considered to be nearly iron skin.((Battle Life/Fur))
Senses: Leon's sense of taste, smell, and sight are equal to that of a humans. His hearing is very sub-par, and his sense of touch is superb for his body. One important thing, is that he relies on all of his senses with a general amount of equality. So while blinding him would hurt him greatly, not so much as some may expect. (Unknown)
Carnivore- Leon prefers meat as opposed to anything else. Has a tough time eating greens. ((Cat side innate))
Healing- Leon heals from most wounds and bashes within a day, though it only makes a big difference when sleeping. Not useful in a single battle, though he can survive through most things with a few day's rest. ((Unknown))
Bone Strength: Leon's bones are somewhat harder than normal, nearly steel in hardness. His claws and teeth seem to be made of different material however, and he wants to know why. ((Unknown, suspected Nekomata))
Magic Resistance - Not the most useful thing, but Leon has now been developing a minor resistance to all magic, good or bad. It is not much, but a weak fireball would not burn so much, and a death ray may only knock him out rather then kill him. In addition, a medium strength healing spell might not even make him feel good. ((Nekomata))
Magic Beacon – Leon is very easy to track through magical means. This also applies to those who can sense Undead, however he will not be subject to the same things that hurt undead. ((Nekomata))

Skills/Magic

Weapon Skill- Leo is very skilled with using his Super Yarn Ball in battle, but has no really special attacks with it. He does have some cool moves though. Leon has improved to the point where he is thinking about shifting this type to more effective and dangerous weapons. In addition, the following weapons he is at a higher level than he normally is. Spear and knives. He has become even better with unarmed attacks, and can effectively fend off armed attackers even without claws. [B]His unarmed skill has improved to the point where his strikes are much harder then normal, especially so when his unique properties are included. It should be note that there is no official style that Leon follows, and that whilst fighting, his body language is "gibberish."

Omniskill- Leon can, in effect, use any weapon he finds somewhat effectively and with reasonable proficiency. For ranged weapons he has somewhat good aim. Also, it has been shown that he is able to pick up many different things, such as drawing or playing a game quickly. He can use any weapon without danger to himself, and gains some skill with ranged items like a bow or sling.

Yarn Ball Manipulation: Leo can control Yarn so that it can wrap around, tangle, tie knots, etc. He pretty much has full control of the Yarn as long as he is touching the strand that it’s coming from, from bandaging his own wounds to choking his opponent. Actual strength of the yarn grip depends on how strong the breaking point of the material is and how strong Leo is at the moment. He can also unravel the yarn and control each separate strand if said yarn is large enough. Though it has been seen that he cannot control it so well as the yarn moves farther away from his body. Leon can control effectively up to 3 yarn balls so long as they are within a relatively short distance from his body.

Second Thought: ((completely reworded, but nothing changed from original)) Basically allows Leon to focus on more then a single task at once. In addition, things that attack the mind are much less likely to succeed, and reading his mind will often give random and nonsensical information. Also, knocking him out in much tougher then one would expect.

Basic Medical knowledge- Enough to cover up wounds and help sprains from hurting so much. Leon can also stitch up minor cuts and generally keep someone from dying quickly.

The Kitty Side-When danger arises enough, Leon submits to something called the Kitty Side at times. His agility and reflexes are enhanced slightly (3x in addition to whatever it is at now), as well as he also uses less human words and becomes more cat-like. After a short while when the danger dies down he returns to normal. As well, it has become more and more apprent he is more willing to end a fight quickly while under this effect.

Roar: Not so much a skill now, but much closer to that of a strange trait. At times Leon can roar in a voice far louder than would seem possible from his body. No splitting eardrums or anything, just loud.

Lucky – Merely that Leon is slightly luckier then normal, but often not enough to change the course of anything. He would come out ahead at gambling a little more then others, but not by much or often. This especially applies to many dangerous situations. A fall that would kill most people would leave Leon badly hurt for example.

Matcher - Leon is far from a a scary individual most times, but hardly ever will play up to his strengths when fighting. However, sudden bursts of speed beyond his normal capacity are surprisingly common when it would save his life. Of course, he doesn't get many of these, but often enough to frustrate an opponent.

Hey there Arti, glad to see you've decided to participate!

The only qualm I have with this profile is the 7x speed. While I understand that you've held back on adding more improvements to get a +2x boost compared to your previous profile, 7x still is technically too fast for anyone of the same level to actually hit, barring traps and specific spells. If, for the purposes of the ToC, you could bring him down to 6x and say that there are times when Leon must rest, even for just a few seconds, before returning at full speed, then it'd be perfect.

If you agree, then there will be nothing left for me to do but approve you!

Fine, he's slower now.

Like it makes hat much of a difference at this point...

Still, let's see how much fear one bugger can actually sow.
