Physical AttributesRohan's defining trait is that he's strangely... average. His parents were both opposites physically, which really resulted in a balanced cub. Sure, his nose is big, his chest is a little larger, and his tail longer, but overall he doesn't really have many talents, strengths, or weaknesses. He also seems to grow slower than other cubs, which leaves him behind the others, contributing to a low self confidence. He often struggles to keep up with others his age.
As Rohan grows, his legs have become more cheetah-like. He's grown awkwardly, where he doesnt know how to function fully.
History
Is it a kind of dream floating out on the tide?
Following the river of death downstream...
Or is it a dream?
Rohan had a seemingly humble beginning, even if he has no knowledge of it... his father was a clouded leopard, belonging to a mercenary. He spent his whole life trained as a killer, helping his owner take down outlaws and any small pets they might have. His master had other, larger cats who took down any other outlaws and larger enemy animals, but his clouded leopard was his prized, loyal partner. For a long time, life was good. That is, until the time that he fell in love. There was a pretty, blotchy cheetah. The two of them grew very close, and eventually she fell pregnant. She was frightened, but he assured her that everything would be fine. Of course that all changed when the truth came out: she was a cat owned by a dangerous outlaw that her mate and his owner had been tailing. Feeling loyal to his owner, he felt that she had only gotten closer to him to protect her own master. An argument resulted, and eventually it became more aggressive, until the two started fighting. The clouded leopard was injured, and after realizing that her master had been killed by the mercenary, the cheetah made a choice. She ran away from the city, and joined the empires. In particular, Fire Empire.
There's a fog along the horizon... a strange glow in the sky...
And nobody seems to know where you go, and what does it mean?
Ohhh, is it a dream?
You'd think that everything would have ended there, right? Rohan was born into an empire, and ready to begin a whole new life. But that's not what happened.
True, was born in the empires. He did live a good life in the time that he was there. He does have several good, happy flashbacks from this time of his life. However, it was then that everything changed.
It seemed, to Rohan, like any other day. But it wasn't... because this was the day that he and his mother encountered the hunters for the first time. She was killed, and seeing her body drop to the ground, seeing her not get up, then being carried away from his home against his will by the hunter who killed her... it was all too much for the cub, and it changed him. In an effort to protect him from trauma, the young cub's mind suppressed the memory, resulting in amnesia. He has some flashbacks of his past, but none of that night. For now, he passes off the amnesia as being too young to remember anything, and doesn't really question his heritage... yet.
Where will Rohan's life lead? What kind of hunter will he be? He doesn't know for sure. It all depends on the cats he meets, the direction he's given, and his life experiences... all of that lies ahead, in the future...
Is it a kind of shadow...Reaching into the night...
Wandering over the hills unseen?
Or is it a dream?
(Idk what to add here, for now I'll just put a few notes for myself when I have time to figure it all out)
- Rael became Rohan's adoptive brother
- He believes Kallen is his father and Myan his mother
- He falls behind the other tribunes and likes to escape because he feels he doesnt fit in and gets overwhelmed.
- idk
There's a high wind in the trees... A cold sound in the air...
But nobody ever knows when you go... or where do you start?
Ohhh, into the dark...
apprenticeship~
- Was sold to a farm, but kept in the program to make them some more money
- Still lives on the farm, and has become rather good at herding
Bright eyes, burning like fire...
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes...

Personality
Reckless & Foolish
Unfortunately, Rohan just doesn't know how to think things through. At times, he doesn't even try either. He just dives head-on into a situation, either ignoring or oblivious to the risks. He doesn't seem to have common sense or any degree of good judgement, and doesn't realize the consequences of his actions until it's too late.
Dreamer, Adventurous & Bold
Rohan dares to aim for the stars. No goal is too big for him. However, he never actually does anything about it... he spends a lot of time wishing and daydreaming, but hardly ever acts on his desires. However, he is still a very outgoing cub, who loves to have fun and explore. As long as it is something current, he can have a lot of motivation, and shows little to no restraint.
Nosy & Unlucky
Not seeming to understand the concept of privacy and personal space, Rohan tends to be way too invasive and pushy towards others, never really understanding that he should mind his own business and NOT eavesdrop. He certainly has a way of poking his big nose where it doesn't belong, and as a result, he has a reputation for getting into trouble. Often the kind his parents have to rescue him from.
Inquisitive & Nerdy
Rohan is a very curious cub... he's always asking lots and lots of questions, even when others try to get him to stop and shy him away. He just about any information, whether useful or not. He's really good at memorizing and reciting it, but doesn't really know how to apply this knowledge. He's more of just an encyclopedia. For this same reason, he actually really loves stories of any kind, whether fact or fiction, and may come to love telling them when he's older.
Energetic & Attention Deficit
Although he has his moments, usually Rohan is not known to be bouncing off the walls. However, he's never happy to be sitting in one place for very long. He actually hates sitting still and always seems to be going somewhere, or just wandering off, even when he's told to stay put by his parents. He seems to make a habit ending up in peculiar places, and a lot of complaints are raised as a result of his behavior. He also has a ridiculously short attention span and is easily distracted.
Cowardly & Bashful
He isn't really known for being timid, but when faced directly with anything scary or dangerous, Rohan is the first to run away. So when it comes down to it, he's actually not as brave as he seems. He thinks he can stand up to something and is dismissive of risks, but the truth is he's a big chicken. He's not confrontational and would rather run from a problem. He's also known to be easily embarrassed, and stutters and shies away from anyone who he looks up to or has a crush on.
Insecure, Unconfident & Pessimistic
Quick to assume the worst and not really sure of himself, Rohan isn't sure what kind of hunter he wants to be and isn't sure if he'd be particularly good at it. He admires his parents but his difficulties make him question himself. He doesn't really value himself very highly and doesn't believe in himself either. So until he does, he tries his best to just enjoy his life...
Quirky & Outcast
You'll notice that Rohan is a very strange little cub, with a lot of quirks and flaws that make him pretty weird. For this reason, it's really set him apart from the other tribunes, and not in a good way. True, sometimes it can be endearing, but it can be damaging too. It can be said that he has a negative reputation. As a result, he is very much set apart from the others... he would much rather go off on his own than try to go with the crowd, change his image and live up to the expectations of others. However, he does get lonely from time to time.
Disorganized & Clumsy
It can easily be said that Rohan is very sloppy and doesn't really pay attention where he should. If he has a bet, it's not going to be kept neatly. He makes a big mess when he eats. And he doesn't pay attention to his appearance. His klutz doesn't help his situation either... you want to keep him away from anything breakable, because he's likely to knock it over or destroy it somehow.
Simple-minded
Mentally, Rohan is very slow, and not quick to realize jokes or insults. He also takes everything as face value and is relatively easy to trick. Complicated things confuse him, and sometimes simple things too.
Irresponsible & Carefree
Rohan hates the feeling that he's being depended on, and doesn't like the idea of any sort of responsibility at all. He would much rather enjoy himself and take things easily. Words like 'duty' and 'responsibility' don't really mean much to him, and will likely only push him away, especially since he doesn't quite feel like he belongs.
QUICK NOTES:
~One of Rohan's biggest insecurities is in his abnormally large nose. The fact that he tends to sniffle almost constantly doesn't really help either. He's actually even considered having a nose-patch made to cover it up.
~Not very attentive to his appearance, Ro is always pretty scruffy looking. He doesn't really take the time to flatten his fur. He doesn't usually appreciate being groomed... not because he likes to look messy, but because he doesn't like sitting still for long.
~Rohan has a tendency to recite facts from memory, often at random or inconvenient times.
~prone to short memory flashes. He doesn't know where they're from, or what they mean. He's not sure if they're a memory, or even a dream.
~Rohan is TERRIBLE at talking to girls. He tends to stutter, or completely lose his ability to speak.
~Rohan was inspired by Takua from Bionicle.
~Rohan has a strange affinity for wearing human clothes in peculiar ways. He's also known to take clothing that doesn't belong to him, though he has every intention of returning it.
