GENERAL
Name: Metal
Origin: Most folks would think that Metal got his name due to his dark grey fur coloring....and to some point they would be correct. However when he was younger he also liked to mettle in other feline's business. Sure its a totally different word but being called the mettler wasnt what his parents had in mind.
Gender: Male
Age: 30 moons
Breed: Scimitar cat
Clan: not currently applicable
Rank: Loner
APPEARANCE
In Depth: Metal isnt a feline you are going to forget any time soon. His yellow eyes always seem to have a spark of mischief to them and his one good ear seems to constantly be moving (the other is torn in half and seems almost dead on its own). He doesnt have what one would call a mane but he does have some longer fur that hangs just behind his ears... its only about half an inch thick on both sides but as long as the top of his chest. His tail is long, something he takes great pride in, and he has even been known to use it as a fishing pole even though he ends up not being able to feel the tip for at least a night or two. He has the resemblance of a large alleycat, agile and light on his feet, and his leg muscles are quite firm. He walks with an air of confidence and as if he doesnt have a care in the world.
Main Fur Colors: A mixture of various grey shades, mostly dark in hue
Eye Color: Yellow
Stature: 3 feet
Build: Lean for his species at 333 pounds....very long and lanky
Markings: His fur isnt solid colored but looks like swirls of colors
Scars: Missing on ear as it has been cut in half width wise
PERSONALITY
In Depth: A joker and a sarcastic fuzzball would sum up Metal to a tee. He is always laughing a deep rolling laugh that if it were a threatening growl would scare the fish right out of the sea. He is mentally off, talking to his tail that he loves so much as if it were his constant traveling companion and even having arguments with it.
Strengths: He is a great warrior, very cunning with a mind for strategizing.
He doesnt believe in negativity....always looking at the bright side of things.
Flaws: He is loyal and friendly. You would think that would be a strength but he tends to be too trusting and willing to stick by those even if they have done him wrong.
He loves to play practical jokes which upsets most folks he comes in contact with.
He really is insane and a bit off mentally.

HISTORY
Birth Place: The Valley although his family was constantly relocating as they did their best to stay safe from the bigger predators. This is also why his family is so small. Hard to concentrate on mating when you arent even sure where your next meal is coming from...and easier to move with only one season's worth of cubs tagging along.
In Depth:
He isnt one to talk about his past, his family, or even how his ear got torn and instead prefers to lie each time he is asked. Its not that he is particularly jaded against his family or what hes gone through, its just he doesnt feel its all that important as to who he is now whie preferring to focus on the now. But lets dig and get to the heart of the question at paw. He was born just like all cubs and was born in a litter of four where only two survived. The other two cubs werent strong enough to survive the harsh weather and lasted only a few weeks. The parents only wept for a brief time, focusing their time on keeping Metal and his sister alive. They were always on the move, always trying to stay out of trouble, and always looking for a place where life would let them be.
Metal learned quick and became skilled at such survival skills but as time went on it was noted that he wasnt as 'normal' as the others of his kind. He acted weird, talked to his own tail, and was just generally off. When they came in contact with others it wouldnt me long until he would do something to upset their potential allies and they were forced to leave once more. Finally it got so bad that his father attacked him, forcing him away and figuring nature would just take care of him. Yet he was not only insane but stubborn and kept himself alive with the skills he had learned so well. He finally has settled into the seaside area, pleased with his land choice to the point of sabotaging others from the shadows who also think of his new home as territory for the claiming.
