appearance -♠-

Felix stands at approximately five feet and eight inches tall. He is what many would consider lanky, nothing but skin and bones. However, if one were to really look, you would see well toned muscles. Although he doesn't have those six pack abs or those bulging biceps, Felix does not carry that much extra weight either. His eyes are a deep golden yellow, the color of lost Spanish coins. Silky russet colored locks hand down his face and the tips just barely touch his shoulders. Perhaps like most spirits, Felix does indeed keep a pair of ears and a tail out. Far more sensitive than a humans, his cat ears help him detect any movements around him if he is unable to see. His ears stand just about four inches from his head. Each ear has three piercings, bearing either a golden ring or a gold clothespin upon it. Why a clothespin...well, it just seemed different. Felix's tail is not fluffy and bushy, rather it is long and slim. It extends all the way to his heels and tends to flick from side to side occasionally. Upon his tail he keeps a clasp like object around it, not quite a ring. This clasp can only be removed by removing the screws on both sides of the clasp. Trying to pull it off by any means will not only earn you nothing but tufts of fur, but also a decorative set of claw marks to your face.

Felix wears a set of clothing that one might regard as a uniform of a soldier or lieutenant of some sort, however in truth his set of clothing came from a theater group he was in from the play Alice in Wonderland. His jacket is made from soft dark maroon with pale gold trimmings along the edges. Brass buttons decorate the front in two lines. The collar is made of black satin rather stiff looking. The inside of his coat is made from a thin black fabric compared to the slightly thicker and heavier red outer layer. Gold tassels hang down from the the shoulder blades of the jacket, unsurprisingly it does not get in the way. A white and red striped cloth runs down from his right shoulder to his left waist, upon it are two buttons that are connected to each other by brass chains. There is no reason for it to be there..except to be there and look pretty. His pants are white, how it doesn't get stained from dirt and god knows what else is a mystery. It is made from a flexible and comfortable fabric, stage players did complain how awful wearing itchy and hot costumes were, which allows him more freedom to move rather than worry about ripping any parts of his clothing. Like all stage costumes and props, these things were made to last for a very long time. They might get dirty or dusty, but a simple pat where the dirt is and it comes off. What's more is that his clothes are partially water proof. Small droplets of rain water isn't going to hurt it, but a large torrential downpour will. His pants are made from a soft cotton fabric, it's a miracle how it has not turned grey or stained with a shade of brown. Strapped to it is his claymore, ready for him to pull out anytime he wishes.

personality ♠

Felix is a spirit of many things, but let's start off with what he isn't.

Felix is by far the least affable person you might want to go up to. Not because he just wants to act mean, it's just that...he seems so dull. Due to his lack of wanting to express emotions, Felix has always been the one to wear a slight frown. At times when he's puzzled or curious he will raise an eyebrow in question. He has never been judged to be the 'mean and aggressive' type nor would he ever be put in the 'let's negotiate' category and heaven forbid he wasn't the 'roll over onto his back and get a thrashing for no reason' type of guy either. Felix is simply...well Felix. He will stand his ground and not hesitate to stare you down either. He is the one that is going to shove back if you push him hard enough. Felix is also the one to say 'screw you' to politics and do things his way. Negotiating is not what he has in mind and it's far from it. Negotiating and trying to compromise has never been what the world was about, or so he thinks. Why bother to settle a problem when you could just fix it right away your way? Although, slightly contradictory, Felix isn't the demanding type either. He's not going to stomp onto your doorstep and pound on your door and scream at you for not doing something. He'll just simply shrug and do it himself.

Curiosity and the sense of adventure will keep him going from place to place. He is one curious cat and intends to stick his nose into other people's business when asked to keep out. Would he bother to babble to other people about it? Heck no, he just wants to know. Knowledge is power as they would say. Felix has always enjoyed the thrill of watching people when they don't see you. Creepy? Kind of, but he's not the stalker type either. He just wants to get in on what's going on. Such as sneaking into both the Lao's and Zukai's meetings just to listen in on what they're saying. Felix is just one of those people that just sit there in a group conversation and just contemplates on who's saying what and why. He enjoys being able to listen to someone's problems and hearing people rant over all. Apparently finding out how someone ticks and runs is one of his favorite things to do.

When it comes to decision making, Felix isn't rash or hotheaded to suggest the first thing that comes in mind. He's better off thinking it thoroughly first before actually taking action. In his mind he will often be weighing his options and choices, such as the possible gains compared to the possible casualties that may occur. Does that mean he'd rather be the leader and the one to make the choices? Well...no. It's too much of a responsibility in his opinion. Why yes, Felix is capable of taking position of leader, he just lacks the motivation and ambition. In fact, he'd rather be the one person sleeping while the person in charge goes on and on about how something was going to happen and work.

Now here's a little peeve that no one, including Felix, has never been able to get rid of. You see, thanks to Felix's experience with the theater troupe he has developed an odd sense of rhyming everything he says. Perhaps it was the fact that they were usually having productions revolving works of Shakespeare. Never the less, it will rhyme somehow.

history ♠

Felix started out as a cat. A normal cat, the one that loved to be around quiet people and enjoyed sunbathing on a rock somewhere. He was the type of cat that a professor at some university would have loved and admired, having been rather clean and graceful. He was indeed a beloved feline company of a young girl. They were inseparable, the two of them. Felix trailed behind the child as though he was part of some royal guard. He was happy back then, enjoying being petted and fondled over. Those days were numbered. You see that little girl was the daughter of a rather wealthy man a few years after the war between the Lao and Zukai had begun. Back then, his owner's father had been a kind benefactor, often sending money and other supplies for the Zukai during the war. It seemed the right thing to do at the time...right?

That all changed when the Lao decided to drop by for an unannounced visit. They came at night, the death squad that was sent to murder an innocent man and his daughter. That same night, Felix was curled up upon the girl's bed, breathing in deeply and dreaming of what adventures they were going to have the following afternoon. Out of his sleep his ears had locked onto some faint scuffling and finally the far off yells. Instantly jumping to his feet, the feline had only enough time to wake his slumbering owner before the door burst open. The events that followed occurred in a blink of an eye; a little girl screaming, a russet furred cat launching itself at the Troop, and the never ending black smoke that would soon fill

Afterward, Felix reincarnated into a cat spirit. It took him a while to adjust, it was a pretty big change after all. He joined a passing theater troupe after wandering around a nearby town when one of the actors figured out what Felix truly was. So the next few years, Felix was able to learn how to talk and perhaps act like a normal person. His days at spent with the Company were joyful, filled with practices and awe striking performances. It was all good until some freak accident on the road. Upon traveling through a rathery rainy April night, the troupe were on the mountain road when a mudslide crashed onto them. The event was sudden, instantly killing everyone. Felix wasn't among them however, saying that he would scout ahead for a place for them to set up came or an inn of some sort to take shelter for the night. However in the morning when he returned to find his fellow companions and friends, he sadly found that they were all buried underneath several feet of solid mud and debris. Not bothering to dwell upon the thought after making them a proper burial, Felix got up and just left, leaving behind everything to wander on his own.

weapons ♠

A Claymore is located at his waist, although he still debates on whether or not the blade really is a claymore or a rapier. However, names for this thing is not quite important. This claymore is at it's full length of thirty five inches long, made from a very light yet rather durable metal. Strange enough, this sword is very difficult to break. Hack at it all you want, you won't so much as put a scratch on it. However, when it does break Felix will have to comply with sending it away to a sword smith that he has trusted for a very long time. He does have a backup claymore hidden somewhere, but he only uses it for a short duration until his original rapier is sent back.

Claws on his fingers actually form when needed. If he takes off his gloves, his fingers are normal; the same as an blunt nailed finger that a human has. However, like a cat's claws his can 'retract'. When in danger and his nails will extend and thicken, curving at the ends and become thicker in width. Unlike regular nails, these claws take a lot more to break them.

strengths ♠

Felix, like his feline counterpart, is poetry in motion. He has built in grace and agility, often able to sprint and outrun most shapeshifters without even trying. What is more, is the fact that he can easily sneak into places and is rather flexible when it comes to cramming himself into small places. Felix has always been on his toes, ready to fight or take flight in any matter. This cat spirit has always been very partial to detail, often judging others on first sight rather than figuring out what the individual is truly like. Felix is also able to tell what type of race you are. For example, one can't really tell if another is an elemental since they do have a resemblance to normal humans. With a simple sniff, he has to be a few feet away at the least, Felix should be able to tell you what the other person is if it isn't obvious already.

Last and foremost, Felix has...the ability to predict things in the future. No no, it is not the same as seeing the future. He just has a slight chilling feeling that runs down his spine and makes him feel as though something or someone has their hands around his neck. Will he be able to tell you what happens exactly? No. Also, here's another thing, he can't really predict it unless the said person comes in contact with something that involves the event. Lemme clarify this for you...

He stared over at the younger man, his ears giving a slight twitch to show that he was indeed listening. His long tail was wrapped around himself like a fuzzy snake as the feline like man sighed. "I was hoping you would lend me a hand, Felix." His company said, feet swinging side to side over the docks of the river. Reid peered down over the edge to stare at the water that was illuminated in the moon's glow. Felix did the same, although rather partial on keeping his dry status. However, upon settling his eyes upon the water's surface, his breath hitched. All at once, cold fingers wrapped around his throat and a wave of nausea hit. Pupils dilated to mere slivers as he stared further into the river before pulling back. His tail was lashing side to side now, sticking angrily in the air. "What is it Felix?" Reid asked, hesitant in not wanting to anger his childhood friend. "I pray you be careful and heed my words. Although you have the ability to fly like a bird, beware the strong currents and the water's tide. For it not...then death is what it shall truly provide."

So if Reid and Felix were not sitting next to a river, or anywhere near water for instance, Felix would not have come up with this little...prediction. Once again, no he can not tell exactly what is going to happen in the future, just give small clues on what will happen. Felix can only predict events that will lead to your death, severe injury, emotional breakdown, etc. Basically only the bad stuff that happens.

weaknesses ♠

Felix does not talk...or does not want to talk at all. He just doesn't want to and therefore if he has problems or has feelings towards something, he won't express them. You'll sadly have to ask it as a direct question first before he'll answer. Even then, he won't give up that little rhyming habit of his and will regard you with this exasperated look before answering.

Felix seems to be the guy with skeletons in his closet and will therefore will not ever open up to someone all the way. There will be no emotional confession over his history or you being able to read his diary (he simply doesn't keep one). Felix doesn't openly trust someone or say it openly either. If it is a group task, he will do every single part or make sure that every single part of the assignment is completed and acceptable. He just won't rely on others that much since he always considers it as being a burden to others.

In regards to Felix predicting into the future, it actually takes a toll on his eye sight. Depending on what the prediction is, the more severe the toll it takes. If he predicts something on how someone dies, and it is rather clear on how and when, he will pretty much be half blind for a few days. Luckily his eye sight does return back to normal though. At times, if his predictions are screaming exactly how, when, where, and why something happens...expect him to be knocked unconscious first before inquiring about what he saw. Things such as a fatal injury or even just someone having a onset of misfortunes won't take that much out of him. The more specific and life threatening it is, the greater the toll. Can he see his own future? No, it just doesn't happen.

relationships ♠

Love is a mutual thing.
Crushing on You is going to be hard to imagine.
Crushing on Me is silly since you'll love the next guy even more.
Former Lovers is making me want to ask "Were we even in love?"
Like Family is something I don't have.
Close and Best Friend is someone that is too close.
Friend is someone that doesn't annoy me.
Respected is something you need to earn.
Acquainted is someone I met in the middle of nowhere.
Jealous of Me is not possible.
Jealous of You is... a maybe.
Annoyance is something everyone is.
Unsure is making me anxious.
Fear is essential.
Hatred is bitter.
Angered is like engulfing flames.

So what are you?
