Description
(( Ok, so I've been working on this girl for MONTHS. I'm so thrilled to finally see her finished! >u< Alright so awhile back I was looking through the thesaurus for an alternate word for "cat"..... don't ask. I got the usual results. Kitten, feline, kitty, ones like that but the last one really caught my attention. Grimalkin. o_0 I'd never heard that before so I looked it up.A grimalkin (also called a greymalkin) is an old or evil-looking female cat. The term stems from "grey" (the color) plus "malkin", an archaic term for a cat, derived from a hypocoristic form of the female name Maud. Scottish legend makes reference to the grimalkin as a faery cat that dwells in the highlands.
That was about all it said on the subject but that much got me inspired enough to make an OC based around it. And that's how you get the girl in front of you :3 She started off as another good and nice character but I realized I have enough of those and I want a character I can cause a bit of mayhem with >:3 I mean, what's the point of looking evil if you're not a little bit, right? I don't have much practice at having a more villainous type character but I'm gonna give it a shot X3 ))
Name: ~The minute I find it worthwhile to tell you my name I'll let you know. But don't hold your breath~
Age: ~I'm old enough to know better than to cause so much trouble but young enough not to care~
Height: 5' 6
Weight: 120
Race: Grimalkin
Personality: A cold, manipulative and sometimes rather harsh person, she is someone you might want to think twice about messing with. Can be somewhat flirtatious at times but only does so as a ploy in order to obtain something and wouldn't have any real feelings towards that person. When she doesn't get what she wants, she doesn't take it lightly and can become dangerous quickly.
Abilities: What may look like a tattered cape on her back are actually her wings. (lower left) By spreading her wings and folding them around her she can seamlessly transform into a deceivingly harmless looking grey cat. (lower right) Besides this, her main ability is being able to steal an essence from a person which she's able to do if a person looks into her eyes long enough for her to draw the essence out of them. While in the form of a cat, she can see the full aura of a person in order to know the best essence to steal from the unsuspecting victim but she can only steal it when in her human form. So when she's in her human form and she's looking at you and her eyes begin to glow a bright white, run. Quickly. (The cat pic is not actual size compared to the full body pic in the middle. She'd just be the size of a regular house cat. )
Weaknesses: If whenever she gets hurt, whichever form she's in when injured she can't transform to her alternate form because it causes too much pain to do so. Also, since having the nature of a cat, sometimes those instincts get the best of her when she's around certain items………. such as yarn, mice and those pesky laser pointers.
Background Story: ~I suggest minding your own business and not poking your nose where it doesn't belong!~
(( She's not very open about her background….. as you can tell. So you'll just have to RP with her and ask questions to find out a bit more about her hint hint nudge nudge ))
More info:
- While the rest of her kind feed off of the essence they steal from a person, she instead takes it, bottles it and sells it to others in a shop that she owns in a small village. (top left)
- When she steals an essence it causes the victim to reflect the opposite reaction to the essence she stole. If she steals Strength from a person, they'll become extremely weak, if she steals Happiness from out of them, they'll become deeply depressed, etc.
- She's always willing to give a person back their essence…….. provided they pay for it of course.
- When taking a person's essence, she leaves just a little bit of it left over in a person. This way a person will eventually regain that essence and won't have it completely removed from them. But she mainly does this because if she stole all of it, it would become a Pure Essence and if she sold it to someone else than that person would gain that essence permanently. So only taking a partial of the essence causes the ones that she sells to have only a temporary effect on the customer who buys it and therefore is better for business since they'd have to come back for more.
- With her wings so tattered, she can't really fly but she can glide short distances.
- (middle right) That's her "innocent" face. Every evil cat has one.
- (top right) While she's out stealing essences to supply her store, her colleague, Mina, stays at the store and handles the customers. Mina is the exact opposite to her coworker in which she's friendly, kind hearted and always polite to everyone she meets. Apparently a living essence being, she tries her best not to divulge her and her colleague's past but sometimes when she gets to chatting with someone she lets out more information than she should. Does she look familiar to some of you? X3 (The picture of Mina is actual size to how big she would be compared to the full body pic in the middle. She's kinda little :3 )
(( I'm really hoping I explained everything well enough
But if not, just ask :3 She is definitely open for RPs and I'm even opening her up for questions! So if you want to ask her a question, please put a "Q" in front of your question so I know you'd like it answered with a drawing otherwise I'll think it's a RP starter. I worked super hard on this character so any feedback or advice you want to give would be GREATLY appreciated ^u^ ))

It was a rainy night as Bass walked through city streets aimlessly looking for where he had parked his car.

*The light drizzle of rain falls faintly against the ground, creating small puddles along the dark and quiet city streets. After several minutes there would be the occasional stranger who would walk by but other than that the path was completely desolate. Then, out of the calm silence, echoes a faint mewing cry. Just a short distance ahead a small gray cat is huddled up by a discarded cardboard box, shivering lightly from the cold before looking up towards Bass with ghostly pale eyes formed into a pitiful expression*

"Awww" Bass said as he crouched down by the cat "what are you doing out here little kitty cat?" He asked the cat as if it could reply.

It was a bitter day in the late of winter. A sharp chill blew across the darkened plains of the grasslands. Following behind the wind was a strange figure, gliding smoothly over the fields. A warm orange glow emitted from the figure as it made it's way towards the dense tree-line. A closer look revealed the figure to be Loomis, the glow of a small fire spreading from his hands as it hovered between his palms. He held the flame close to his body. "Glob, it's freezing!" he said under his shaky breath. "When's this winter gonna end?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*As the freezing wind cuts through the trees, the small tracks from an animal appear scattered about in the lightly snow covered ground. While he continues forward on his course the faint sounds of a cry, from what sounds like that of a cat, echo out pitifully from amongst the trees*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
His hears the faint cry and picks his head up from his hands. He slows down a bit and tries to pinpoint the sound through the low-howling wind. He holds the flame in his hand out in front of him, to use as a torch so he could see better. He flys over near by the dense collection of trees he believes he heard the sound from... If he did hear anything. He called out in the shadows, waving his flame back and forth. "Hello? Someone there?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*The small animal tracks in the snow continue to trail forward until they come to a stop by one of the nearby trees. Sitting at the base of the trunk is a little gray cat huddled up by one of the tree's thick roots for warmth. When the cat notices the new stranger's presence, it huddles back farther against the tree a little and gives out with a soft mew as it looks up at him with its oddly pale colored eyes*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He follows the tracks and raises an eyebrow at the startled movement of the small gray kitten. He crouches down closer towards it, holding out the flame to shine some light and spread some warmth to the little creature. He cracks a small smile and leans a little closer towards it. "Hey there, little guy. What are ya doing out in the cold?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*The little cat stares at him with wide eyes at the sight of the flame seemingly being emitted from the stranger's hands. The cat takes a few seconds to look over the stranger in front of it before giving a subtle smirk and then quickly switching it's expression back to a more pitiful one. It stands up from its spot against the tree, slowly treading forward through the snow before coming up to him and rubbing lovingly against the front of his legs as it purrs softly*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He stares down at the affectionate animal with a small, warm smile. "Awww, you're a cute little girl." He reaches over and gently pets her head as she rubbed against his leg. "Are ya lost? Someone looking for you?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*As he begins stroking the top of her head, the little cat begins to purr a bit more as it shows its approval of the petting. No collar or identification was around the feline's neck and the only other distinguishing mark on it was a giant healed over scar covering it's right eye. Another chilling wind breezes by and the cat's grey fur flinches a little as it shivers. It then curls up tightly into a little ball at the base of Loomis' feet as it seemingly enjoys the warmth of this new "shelter" than that of the tree. With another pitiful mew, the cat looks up at him sadly with its pale eyes, looking as innocent as it could possibly be*

He shakes a little as the cold wind cut through him, tugging on the collar of his jacket so it would cover his face a bit. He let a small chuckle out as the adorable kitty peered at him with such a helpless expresion. "Alright, come 'ere, girl." He bent down and gently scooped up the cat in his free arm. Holding her close to his body, he carefully stepped back onto his sword. "Lets get you somewhere warm for the night." The sword slowly started to rise and they moved forward, back towards his home.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*The cat flinches a little as its suddenly picked up and it then looks around to see where it was going. After realizing that they were leaving the clearing, a subtle smirk passes over the feline's face and it then settles back down into his arms as it makes itself comfortable for the rest of the ride to their destination*

After a fairly brief flight, he slows down at the sight of a large mountain. Flying lower, he lands at the base of the mountain, by the entrance of a large cave. He draws his sword and walks into the darkened cave. With a snap of his fingers, candles scattered around the cave light up, revealing a rather furnished home. He brings the cat into the main room and carefully sets her down on the couch. "Well, make yourself at home, I guess." He smiles and walks through the living room, into a small kitchen area. He reaches into the fridge and pulls out a bottle of soda and a glass of milk. He looks back at the cat and shakes the milk bottle in view of her. "You want something to drink?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*At the sight of the bottle of milk, the cat quickly jumps down from the couch, sprints across the room and jumps up onto the kitchen counter. The cat paces back and forth across the countertop and meows lightly as it eagerly awaits to receive some of the milk*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
His eyes widen when the cat appears on the counter and he lets out a light chuckle. "I'll take that as a yes." He reaches above him and pulls out a small saucer from the shelf. He places the dish in front of the cat, pops the bottle open, and pours a generous amount of milk into the saucer. "There ya are! Bon appetit or whatever." He chuckles a bit and pops open his own bottle of soda, taking a quick swig of the caramel liquid.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*The cat eagerly waits for him to set the saucer onto the countertop and then crouches down as it begins happily licking up the milk from the dish. After taking in a good helping of the milk, the cat licks the sides of its mouth clean and then looks up at Loomis. Looking almost like a statue, the cat just sits there staring, almost studying him as it keeps its pale eyes locked on him without ever taking a moment to even blink*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He lets out a refreshed sigh after taking a drink of his soda, then glances back down at the cat. His smile fades a bit and he raises an eyebrow as the cat just stares at him, intensely. He wasn't sure if the cat was standing extremely still or turned into stone. He crouches down a bit so he's at eye level with the cat and stares back at it. "...Hello?" He waves a hand in front of the cat, even more confused when she doesn't react. "Huh..." Shrugging, he stands back up and goes to place the milk back in the fridge.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*The cat's eyes slowly pan over as she watches him walk over to the fridge. After a few more seconds of sitting absolutely still and just looking at him, the cat jumps off from the counter and slowly begins making her way over to him. But as she does the sound of the steps gradually shift from those of a small cat to that of a regular person's footsteps quietly coming up behind him. Suddenly a clawed hand lightly places itself on his shoulder as the voice of a woman speaks out from behind him* I must say, you have quite the.... interesting aura to yourself. Which, sadly, is a bit unfortunate for you.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
His eyes widen a bit as he feels the light touch of the pointed claws on his shoulder. He turned back a bit and looked over his shoulder, taking in the image of the young, hooded woman in strange garbs. A small smirk shines on his face. He raised an eyebrow at her comment about his aura. "Umm.... thanks?" He turns around and places a hand under her chin. "There's plenty more of myself that's... interesting~. Feel free to explore." He gives her a quick wink.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*The woman gives a slight smirk herself before taking a hold of his hand that was placed under her chin and then bending it back forcibly* Sorry, but I'm more interested in just your aura. Oh, and if you prefer having your hand staying connected to your arm then I suggest you keep it to yourself. *bending his wrist back a bit more to emphasize her point, she then finally releases the hold on his hand*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He lets out a small gasp of pain as she bends his hand back. He takes a step back and rubs his hand a bit. He squints his eyes at her, a scowl across his face. "... you want my 'aura', huh? " He reaches back and lightly grips the handel of his sword. "Now why the heck would you want that?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*Ignoring the fact that he's preparing to wield his sword any minute, she casually walks over to a nearby table, pulls out a chair for herself and takes a seat as if she was a regular welcomed guest in his home* Well you see, the answer is quite simple. Although the essence that you hold may not be of any importance to you, it can be very important to someone else. And I've seen some of the different powers you hold. Quite impressive. So impressive in fact that I think most anyone would be willing to pay top dollar for said abilities.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He scowled at her, gripping his blade's hilt tighter. "Listen, sweetheart. I don't know what the glob you're talking about 'selling my aura', but something tells me I won't like it." He let out a small huff. "So, you can either go now," he exclaimed, unsheathing his sword. "Or I can escort you out." As a field of dark blue light encompassed the blade, he held his weapon up and pointed it at the intruder asserting herself in his home. "Your choice."((Omgit'sbeenlikeamonthhasn'titwowI Iamsososorrywowisaidiwouldn'tdothisagainandididwowzai'mreallysorryQnQ))

*She stares down at the glowing blade of his sword that was pointed straight at her for a mere second before smirking and simply relaxing back in the chair she was seated in and then proceeds to place her feet up onto the tabletop* Hm, you're not much of a host. After all, you're the one that brought me here in the first place.
