Personality
Calm | Proud | Prudent | Insightful | Strong Willed | Charismatic | Headstrong
Calm
"Some of the coliseum fights appear to be falling short of my expectations..."
Hoinga will be trained in the ways of keeping his cool when a situation takes a turn for the worse. Bloodshed, loud yowls of pain, crowds of people, normal day to day occurrences that should cause any young feline to be skittish doesn't even make this guy flinch. He can keep himself calm under pressure and rarely lashes out at others because of this; even when he's being taunted. He has the wants to become a loyal guard similar to that of his mother, maybe even join the wardens... He can handle a fight without panicking, something that will probably come of use in the future.
Proud
"I'm the son of two strong felines, if I were you, I'd be careful about what I did next."
This feline thinks things through by using his parents knowledge and their upbringing to his advantage. He's cautious in his pride, but knows exactly what he needs to say in order to get exactly what he wants; whether when making friends or enemies. He knows that pride is an emotion that can be used to bind others together, and since he holds much pride for his family and Massilia, he hopes to bring others together in that same manner. Sometimes, his pride can blind him though.
Prudent
"Which means I want to be mindful of how this may impact my family..."
Hoinga isn't about taking unnecessary risks and likes to avoid saying or doing things that he may eventually regret. He is the kind of cat that likes to sit and consider the long term consequences of his actions, and because of that he tries to be mindful of his own impact on others.
Insightful
"The darkness of the gates gives felines a way of escape."
Keen eyes tend to notice small escape routes in the city that most other felines may not consider as they go through their training. Hoinga tries to think like others when he makes decisions, and when he's in a pickle he tends to find his way out by thinking things through. This may play into his prudence as well, as thinking about the future and what may motivate him gives him a pretty decent insight on what others may be considering. He tries his best to remember what it means to be a guard, as he may eventually follow in Lux's pawsteps and become a personal guard to the family... or he'll join the wardens. Who knows currently.
Strong Willed / Aggressive
"Listen to me. You're doing it wrong."
Despite being able to keep his cool, when it comes to seeing how others react to certain situations, Hoinga has been known to stop others in their tracks and let them know exactly what they are doing wrong. He likes to take the lead, and tries to push past others even when they're pushing his buttons. He can be aggressive in his conversational skills and can often push others a little too hard in how blunt he is. He wants to calculate and explain before asking why things are happening and not every feline is okay with that...
Charismatic / Social
"Hey, it's not every day you get to meet new felines."
Hoinga loves to be a social butterfly; he'll happily talk to anybody about almost anything and because of that, he seems to be a pretty well liked cat (or at least he likes to think he is). He hopes to one day be a good enough feline to maybe even make it into the wardens.
Headstrong
"I'm going to become just like you."
You won't meet many other felines that are as willing to do anything to prove they belong like Hoinga does. He likes to push his luck and will push himself to the limits if he's not careful and has a very rambunctious attitude because of it
Background
Born to two strong individuals within the city, Hoinga is one of the larger cubs born to Lux and Zoya. he hasn't really done much in the world yet (except be born), but as he grows older he hopes to become something bigger than life if possible. Maybe as he goes on his journey he'll be knocked down a few pegs...
Background Information -- Current Timeline & Development
Hoinga and his siblings were loud and reckless, growing from small mewling children into full grown adults before anyone was really ready for it. He made fast friends with another younger cub by the name of Pallis (often affectionately referred to as Jr. by most cats around them both). In those early months before cubhood was fully gone, Hoinga started to consider his family lineage and the pride behind being a family that belonged to the warden program. Many of his siblings were sentinels or hunters themselves, which meant that he felt some connection in being a part of the program. Following Junior's lead, Hoinga took part in one of the first trails the wardens put into place and found himself as an apprentice.
He wanted nothing more than to be like his moms as he grew older, and by being a part of this program, he felt he had a chance at doing just that.

Roleplay Example & RP Information
In that liminal space between night and day, the cover of shadow portrayed a much more sinister effect on her than the lynx that stood beneath it. She was not used to being under such a dense canopy of trees that so effectively hid the more distinct features of his pelt from her view. The thin pine branches and tundra biome of Ice rarely left her without at least some view of the sky above, and while most would find the exposure unwelcome, it was something that many a feline in Ice felt comforting.
In such open spaces she was less likely to be taken off guard by wolves or bears, something that was an ever constant threat at such high altitudes so far from the city. She watched the condensed branches beyond her companion, knowing that they held little solace for her. Though strangely, instead of thinking of spider webs or the looming threat of wolves, she found that the darkness beyond itched and tickled at the edges of her nightmares in a different way. If she focused on it long enough, she could hear the distant thundering calls of a large crowd, but she brushed it off with a flick of her ear.
This space did not belong to her, a distinct disadvantage she held compared to her companion. Though she was clearly unbothered by the lynx before her. If anything, he took that edge off of her worries, though she couldn't exactly identify why that was the case.
"I'm surprised to know..."
Dread prickled at Nedria's pelt as his clipped tone struck her as hard as his unsheathed claws. She was silently thankful she had little issue keeping her face controlled under the pressure, though she was inwardly scolding herself over making it seem as if her empire was wary of its neighbors. While true, they were often more concerned about what the absence of that reliability meant for their southern border. Just as she had worried earlier about what had happened to the patrol, she knew that would be the concern that Kahla would hold as well.
Normally, she was better at avoiding such social blunders, but she did remind herself this was her first time handling such an important task with another empire, and he may have misunderstood her intent. She was allowed to make mistakes, though she found little comfort in the thought. Instead, she found it was better to be honest. This wasn't a blunder, she had nothing to hide if she wanted to be blunt with the feline before her.
"We keep track of most of the other empires who border our territory, more out of concern for our neighbors than anything else. If we know we have reliable neighbors and they suddenly stop marking their borders, it can easily be a sign of danger or a warning that something has happened. I understand we can be occasional enemies when it comes to territory disputes..." She paused, looking at him with her glacial gaze. "... but I hope you can also see that we're not trying to poke holes in your ability to defend your territory. The... forest... isn't really in our realms of interest as far as resources go..." It wasn't clipped, but there was certainly an undercurrent to her words that portrayed the exact image most empires had of the northern empire.
Our concerns are elsewhere.
As he chuffed she relaxed, realizing that there had been a blunder in communication between the two of them, but it was not one he had fully decided to take offense to. "I hope you understand I did not mean to make it seem as such." She added, her voice softening as she watched him.
Realization dawned on the snow leopardess as she stood before him and the darkness. The ease in which the lightly armored feline held was more a difference in their upbringing than anything, though living within Fire Empire's borders must've further pushed him into his element. From the distance they had originally shared, she had not seen the scars that battered his frame. She did not marvel at them, but she couldn't help but quietly file the information away to consider later. She could feel the title of Coliseum fighter clinging to him like a second skin. She did observe that he appeared to be trying to shed that from his being, much like she was still removing herself from the pampered life she held before she had come to the empires.
He was direct. Something she appreciated more than she let on. She could talk pleasantries all day and get nowhere if allowed to do so. Her mouth had a tendency of getting ahead of her mind, something she was still carefully working to fix.
She didn't expect him to soften, the hard worn gladiator skin she had observed from before falling behind as a much gentler feline emerged. In the sharp relief of the open air, where the forest no longer touched and darkened his features, she felt herself take an involuntary breath inwards. He was much more scarred than she had originally interpreted, but she felt more enthralled by his eyes. They burned into her, like twin coals buried deep within only the most reliable of forges.
Recognition flared within her as bright as the morning sun but petered out before she could place it. Frustration clawed at her belly momentarily, but she decided to ignore her want to chase that feeling that had flooded her senses. Where had she seen him before? It felt like an older memory than that of her time in the empires, but that didn't feel right. Now wasn't the time to unpack it anyway. What was happening here and now was far more important than a pseudo memory pressing into her skull.
"I'm relieved to hear that." She responded in turn, mirroring his movement as best she could to come to a stop just as far from the border as he was. "To both things. I would hate to take you away from caring for anyone who may be injured just for a bit of information." It was an unspoken thing, but she made it clear that she believed that any empire's gladiators, whether hers or others, mattered more to her than anything else.
As the moonlight illuminated the area around them, it lifted a sense of foreboding off of her shoulders. It was nice to feel light, even if it was feeble.
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Soren. I'm Nedria, Silver of Ice Empire." She smiled openly. His scar struck her as important, but why was still... oddly unexplainable. She needed to focus, feeling as if she had fallen back into her own thoughts instead of the present. Forcing herself into the present, she returned to his words. She scrambled momentarily to find meaning to them, uncertain on whether he was inviting her onto his territory or beyond for a brief moment before she managed to connect the dots. "I have no preference if that is what you are worried about. Since I am already so far from my normal element, I shall leave that decision fully to you. Know that I am not afraid of stepping further into the trees, and since I came to you, I feel it is wiser for you to set the location in which we speak."
She couldn't describe the feeling she held in her chest in those moments that she stood closer to him, as if she was about to break something more than just the unspoken metaphysical barrier if she stepped over into his territory.

RP Style: I try to match for word counts, but I tend to be a bit wordy in my descriptions. I have trouble RPing One Liner RPs for this reason, but if you want to toss ideas back and forth or just do a dialog thing I can normally keep that in mind.
