BOLD updates and things I have deemed not needed and edited are done so. Everything major should be bolded though. Also, anything that needs to be changed can be, and stuffles.

Name: Leon “Leo” Timyon
Race: Nekomata
Gender: Male
Age: 19-ish
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 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epicurean)
Remarkable Things of Note: Hero Status in Raiaera for Saving from Undead Plague in Adventurers' Crown, Well-known in Scara Brae for the Magus Cup, Some fame in Corone for the Furry Protectorate and especially around Concordia. He has achieved something closer to hero status in Underwood.

History:

Leo was born not in the dead of night or in a hidden field, but in a normal place with medics helping his mother. Cat-girls were common on the land he lived upon, as such so was a cat-girl having birth. All of the normal procedures were taken place, and so was the birth. If anything, the only thing special was that Leo male, and not a female. Life went on for him as simple as the others, although he always did get some more attention in his life than others. He was used to it, putting up with it as a child puts up waiting to buy a new toy he wants. He did fairly well in school, coming out about average in his grades. He wasn’t the smartest in his grade, but he was one of the best athletes. Sparring was among his favorite pastimes, to the point where he was the top of his class. He started when he was about 14 years old, and trained hard in his self taught fighting style. The four years put him at an advantage at most others, but Leo could always find someone who could beat him. He even preferred it, as he could try to figure out weaknesses in his style.

He received his yarn ball close to a few months ago, on his birthday. It was customary to receive one at someone’s birthday even then, and his favorite was the Super Yarn Ball. It was a gift from his girl friend, someone he broke up with a few weeks later when he found her with another guy. He wasn’t broken up with it, but he still didn’t want to get another girl so quickly.

He graduated from school later in the year with honors, but not as a valedictorian. He went by through life with his buddies, sparring and working a few odd jobs to get some extra gold in his pocket when he spoke with his parents about what he wanted to do. He wanted to run off around Althanas in general as an explorer, but they said he shouldn’t for a while, until he had some more money. Leo reluctantly agreed, and spent a while working various odd jobs around his town for money. His buddies were with him most of the time, although they all already had full time jobs somewhere. He was the only one who didn’t, but for a good reason. He really couldn’t focus on a single thing for too long.

Later, he went to his parents showing 100 gold that he had saved up, the rest paying for food and stuff along with his parents. After leaving school, they were adamant about him pulling his weight around the house. Even then they were reluctant to let him go. They were reluctant about it, not against it.

A few days later, after hard work and effort to get as much stuff for the trip that he needed to he wouldn’t need to use a backpack, he set off from his homeland. With the help of a boat, he crossed the ocean on a short voyage, landing in the Corone country side. Leo looked out at the countryside and joined the rest of the people in their trek to the nearby town. He adventures had begun.

Leon has now made and met a few close friends such as Rainee and a few others, as well as started up the group known as the Furry Protectorate. He also decided to participate in the Magus, which he is currently fighting in. The cat boy is still unsure of his future, and beginning to slow down his mad rush to get to whatever he needs to go to next.

More adventures have happened to the cat boy, enough to make some other people jealous. – He fought in the Theater of War once, before losing interest in it for the time being. His battle was against the female vampire Sivienna, whom he also tore her neck open, accidentally swallowing some of her flesh. Not enough, but he has changed slightly. Though not many could notice it. He fought against Joshua in the Magus, and ended up sacrificing himself a second time to save the kitsune from death. Currently he has placed 3rd in the Magus Cup, and his name, while not household, could be recognized by many who knew about the tourney and of his adventures as part of the team Wicked Things. Though, this has lately only influenced his standing in the Scara Brae and Raiaera.

Also something important to be of note would be the boy’s budding romance with the kitsune Doji Kadenza, though it was cut cruelly short as authorities for a crime neither of them committed split them apart. Also as something to be noted, He had found his love hurt in the Lissin School of Magic, and found out that she was pregnant with his child. A rather eye popping experience. This was dealt with as best he could, but it also, through a series of events left him without Kit and his child. Since then he has given thought to being a father and actually looks fondly towards it.

The cat boys adventures have been just as interesting as the last ones, broadening the range. Later, he joined up in the Adventurers Crown, hurting himself badly in the first round while saving a teammates life and going to the hospital. After a series of strange occurrences, he had saved Raiaera along with the rest of his group Wicked Things. He became a Hero of Raiaera, along with his teammates as they saved the country’s capital from being overrun by undead. Along with that he’s also changed somewhat, becoming a bit more experienced and wary of betrayal.

Nearly a year later, he fought against another man whom he does not remember the name of, but was Kit’s new “boyfriend.” Hearing that his daughter, barely a month or so old, was changed somehow, Leon has decided to seek her out once again to see them after a long time. The Furry Protectorate has been given over to a new leader, one that Leon had picked earlier, leaving him free to roam without worry for them. In addition, he has also participated in two more tournaments, but in both nothing of importance had happened, and are merely just tallies on his history. One thing of note is that Leon is getting a better understanding of his own mind and body, and he is beginning to get worried somewhat about this.

Leon has begun to travel a lot more then he used to, preferring to explore lands, fields and mountains then cities. Despite this, he has been seen often enough in cities. On one occasion he was attacked a a strange drow woman in Underwood, and another he had a small misadventure. He ended up killing the vampire known as Kedx during his rampage in Underwood, and from that met the girl known as Morrigan. He has decided to continue living his life about the same, without much change to it, though occasionally with the girl he now lives with in a tree in Concordia. He also seeks to learn more about his race, and what exactly he has to do. No real powers have made themselves known yet, but they may soon enough.

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 aspects 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 hand 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.

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

Armor
((Note, it's become apparent that, for whatever reason, Leon is slowed considerably by most objects on his person, from shoes to hats))
Collar- A simple cat collar with a bell. Currently made of Leather and Damascus and dwarvern make. ((Since this really doesn't apply anymore, it's expensive =P))
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 (5x a normal human), but also is able to control incredibly well. ((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. [b]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. ((Unknown))
Bone Strength: Leon's bones are somewhat harder than an average humans, 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.

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.

The Kitty Side-When danger arises enough, Leon submits to something called the Kitty Side at times. His agility and reflexes are enhanced slightly (2x 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.

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.

NPC, who can only be used in Battles if the other person wishes to fight her. Mostly quests though. As such, she isn't touching tournaments at all or ever. Also, She's very open ended right now on purpose, hopefully she'll get more filled out later.

Name: Morrigan
Race: Nekomata
Age: Unknown, old but appears young.
Weight: Somewhat curvy, however she is very lean
Height: 5'6”
Eye Color: Brown
Hair color: Chocolate

Appearance:

Her ears, and fur are colored oddly. A mix of light brown and darker fur that almost give her the impression she is made of chocolate. Her ears are splotched as well with the two colors, and a heart shaped face held her grin well in an almost coy way. She wears simple leathers of near masterwork stitching, and has two tails that reach down to about her feet. Her clothes tend to cover only what's needed, and she often ignores any stares until she would need to get someone attention.

Skills/Traits

Speed/Agility: It is unknown what her cap is, though given her attitude about life she always plays to a level slightly above her opponent. When in danger she may go faster, but often won't unless it is for keeps.

Archery: Morrigan is a master of her bow, and can fire her arrows very precisely and quickly without much thought. She often boasts that shooting a bird's eye in the night is easy to her.

Leather working: Morrigan can, and does, make leather clothing and armor of the masterwork quality.

Arrow Fletching: Creating arrows from wood is one of her hobbies, and she has a rather extensive collection.

Hunting: She is nearly a master of hunting in the Concordia Forest, and can do all the things required as a hunter. This includes tracking to stalking to knowing where to shoot.

Knowledge: Morrigan is very knowledgeable about most mythical and down to earth things, from kitsune to the history of Salvar. She is also very knowledgeable about cultures of most of the countries, and could make a living if placed anywhere due to a gift of languages, if some are a little outdated.

Items
Quivers: Two quivers that hold up to thirty arrows each, strapped to both hips of the cat girl and filled with about ten arrows each.

Arrow Collection – Nearly every type of non magical arrow is in here, though many do not have metal tips and are made of oak. Often she chooses what she would need ahead of time, and otherwise just picks the stand arrow from this collection. All specially tailored to fit her bow.

Bow: A masterwork bow taller then Morrigan, this has been made to shoot arrows nearly three and a half feet long. Morrigan has trained almost entirely with using this bow, and it is her best one. It's made of Liviol and required more strength then most men have to use it correctly, leading to the nekomata dodging questions about her own body.

History

As of yet, Morrigan's history is spotty, and she has not let much slip. It can be gathered that she is old due to how she knows other languages. Some of them are almost archaic compared to today's, such as her knowledge of the elven tongue. She knows a lot about most cultures, so it is assumed she is well traveled, and that she has decided to stay and Concordia for a long time. Beyond that, she is a mystery.

A few things.

In your level 3 update, his claws were about as strong as steel, but now they are mythril. That's quite a jump. I'd like you to lower it to some weaker metal, since mythril is pretty high on the list. I wouldn't go above damascus right now.

I'd like to know where did you get the 2100 GP of Bazaar credit.

And six times as fast as a human is too fast. Keep it at five for now and maybe improve it at the next level. Even at his current speed he's pretty basically faster then any other character on Althanas. You don't want to go breaking the sound barrier, now do you?

True, I blame my tiredness. And the fact that the metals have been shot to hell. But yeah, I'm going to change that and the speed. I should have figured that was a bit much. They'll be changed to Damascas then. And the speed back to what it was. Other then that everything should be good.

The 2100 was basically what I got during the "Hooray for the bad guys" thread when Kedx went kablooey. The IC reasoning being he wanted Leon to be in Underwood at the time, the link is in my signature or right Here. (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?t=3627)

Looks good now. You are approved! Welcome to the next level,
