Ghoti
03-20-07, 11:37 AM
Name: Ghoti.
Age: 31?
Race: Unknown. Was human at one point.
Hair Color: Champagne.
Eye Color: n/a
Height: 11"
Weight: 17 lbs
Occupation: Classified.
Personality:
- Aloof.
- Suave.
- Stubborn.
- Frustrated.
- Tidy.
- Paranoid.
Appearance: He's your typical domestic tabby cat. A layer of fat is hidden by a thick coat of long, light orange fur, meticulously groomed. Vague darker markings brindle his legs and exist over the empty sockets where his eyes should be. His nose is small, heart-shaped and pink, as are the pads cushioning his paws. A thick black stripe accentuates his aristocratic nose, tapering off into a grey hue between two finely pointed ears.
He wears a featureless silver stream-lined 'backpack', for lack of a better term, comprised of an unknown metal. It is quite literally attached to him, essentially carrying his entire circulatory system within its interior.
In his projected form, Ghoti prefers a slender 6" frame depicting a male human sculpted of lean muscle, usually dressed in crisp albeit functional attire calling for a black turtleneck, loose black trousers, and a simple matching jacket. His skin is pale, his eyes are a disarming icy blue, and his untidy dark brown (nearly black) hair is cut short. No matter what gender he ends up selecting, however, the human form almost always possesses a sloping, hawkish nose, slightly protruding ears, and the same chilly blue colouration for the eyes.
His history in a nutshell (it will be revealed to its full extent through the role-play):
Ghoti, like many other inhabitants on Althanas, was born in a different reality. His name back then was Dumitru Ivanov, and he was the son of a wealthy Russian "diplomat" and a British Starbucks store manager. He lived comfortably in London, an only and duly cherished child.
Several years passed, and Dumitru became involved with a covert world agency which operated outside the jurisdiction of any known governments. These people messed around with things they probably should have left well alone, eventually attracting the attention of the denizens of a detached parallel realm. Relations with the aforementioned denizens became strained. Humanity's future was threatened.
After much debate, it was decided that someone needed to be sent into the realm now dubbed 'RLx04' to obtain a special program which would allow humanity the upper hand in the impending power struggle. Dumitru was chosen for his expertise in this particular field. Unfortunately, he was accidentally apprehended by a creature whose molecules became entangled with his own due to a freak miscalculation.
Enter: confusion, more realm-hopping than can possibly be healthy for anybody, and general chaos. Ghoti now finds himself stranded in Althanas. It's going to be a long haul.
Skills:
Agility & flexibility - like any other household feline.
Heightened senses of hearing, sight (including night vision), and smell - again, these senses go beyond those of most humans but do not exceed normal cat standards.
Quick-twitch reflexes & stealth - what you would expect from any feline predator.
Projection - the ability to 'replace' his cat body with that of something else, presumably accomplished by manipulating surrounding particles of matter. He can only do this in bursts lasting about five hours at a time with three hour intervals in between, and is limited to either male or female humanoid forms. The projections may have whatever characteristics he wishes for them. At the moment, these forms are physically weak and can not lift anything heavier then, say, a toddler. Yes, he can become injured while maintaining a projective state.
Basic hand-to-hand - in his projected form, Ghoti can fend off some attacks but is currently not strong enough in this form to successfully battle another. It is not a matter of knowledge. He simply lacks the strength.
Equipment:
None. As a cat he can't easily carry around extraneous stuff. Besides, his circulatory system takes up a lot of room.
