PLAYER HANDLE: Ellis CONTACT: CHARACTER NAME: Haiiro Yamada. AGE: he probably looks somewhere around 20ish, but he's probably been around a bit longer than that. APPEARANCE: he's a grey tabby cat half the time, and a grey-haired human the rest of the time. No PB yet, oops, if you know of an appropriate character lemme know. SPECIES: Bakeneko youkai. OCCUPATION: Cat. Cat is occupation, right? okay if he has to look like he's earning his supper, he's vermin control also he likes gossip and will share if appropriately rewarded
PERSONALITY: He's the kind of person who seems very friendly and chatty, but there's a bit of a wall with new people. Likes being made a fuss of, usually, and is a little bit more loyal to people who do regularly. Likes showing off, whether it's singing or just Knowing Things. Takes a quick like or dislike to people depending on how they treat him, although generally he's more disposed to like. Probably a bit flirty these days, now he's sorta getting the hang of it and spending a bit more time in human shape.
Youkai, so he's kinda morally grey. No real respect for privacy or other people's secrets, oops. Generally not a very dangerous person- too much like work- but he is definitely capable of some minor mayhem and spitting if he's suitably pressed or cornered. Not particularly prone to honesty, although the gossip he passes on is always something he's genuinely heard; accuracy not guaranteed, however, and he never really tells the truth about himself. Sometimes he just like to toy with people a bit, because catte.
A little bit skittish, especially about getting close to people, and a little bit territorial sometimes. Mostly has his pride, so he's not about to start challenging anyone when he knows he's gonna lose or get told off. Will probably still be kind of not very respectful, though.
If someone is genuinely sad he will absolutely try and cheer them up, though. And if someone genuinely does have his loyalty, he tries to keep the gossip a bit lighter and sillier and never about the important things. But don't tell anyone, because he is a fierce and independent cat, okay.
HISTORY: How grim do I want to make it, I guess? But either way, was originally a pet cat, is now a bakeneko, probably spent a fair few years as an alley-monster-cat. Debating going with a murdered ex-master and bringing a fair amount of misfortune down on the people that did it, because I feel like a good revenge arc.
ABILITIES: Shapeshifting between cat and human and probably his lazy mostly-human-oh-I-forgot-the-ears-and-claws form. Being cute and fuzzy and having very good ears in cat form.
Also technically some small fire ability and some luck, both wishing the good and cursing with bad fortune, and probably just some outright cursing. But those take effort, and he's not going to make the effort unless it's really, really vital and/or it's getting suitably rewarded.
WANTED CR: Give him people to sleep on, people to appreciate him, maybe people to flirt with. People he can be a bit of a brat at, I guess? People who do not mind that he sometimes has a 10ft personal space bubble but will ignore everyone else's personal space.
NOTES: he is currently mostly just summed up by "a cat who has learned the importance of opposable thumbs"
