The Wraith of Nowhere

Cat Name: Wraith

Tom or She-Cat: Tom

Appearance:
100% brown. He is a dark, somewhat russet brown mostly, but he has dark, coffee bean brown lines under his eyes and his ears match. His coat is healthy and shiny, causing him to have a sun-kissed creamy gloss in direct light. Wraith's eyes are a burnt orange. He is definitely at least mostly a Havanna brown cat breed, but his fur is slightly longer than breed standard and his facial and bodily structure suggest american shorthair as well, possibly a medium hair, but only barely. He stands at 12" at the shoulders and weighs roughly 12 pounds.

Personality:
Wraith is an ambivert, able to interact with others easily but not feeling a need to do so out of the need for company. He is very stoic and either has great control over not showing his emotions, or he simply has very shallow emotional ability. He could be labeled as "aggressive" but only in the action that he takes, not at all for any sort of rage or detectable emotion while engaged in combat. In the same way that he is seemingly emotionless, he is also equally fearless, ignoring rules and codes and simply adhering to what he calls "The Balance". While he seems willing to educate those who want to listen on "The Balance", he is not willing to push the issue onto minds that won't accept it or ears that are closed. He is decent at reading other cats and creatures, often sensing ulterior motives behind kind deeds, if they exist. Alternatively, he is often good at picking apart negative emotions and outward displays of strength and confidence to find the vulnerabilities and insecurities of other cats. He does this while using his logic of "The Balance". Whether Wraith is a good or cruel cat is up to those who interact with him. Once their minds are made up, he will never try to sway them one way or the other.

Clan:
Rogue/Loner

Origins:
Originally was born to a cat colony known as "The Dynasty of Death". It was part of a much larger colony known as "The Order", which consisted of two factions. One was the Dynasty of Death, the other was "The Sodality of Life". Due to being born into the Dynasty of Death, Wraith was given a name that had something to do with death, ruin or a negative spectre. He was raised from a young age to respect what The Order called, "The Balance". In order for him to fulfill his duty to The Order, he was punished for displaying emotions and learned how to conceal them. He was taught to read other creatures and cats without the burden of his own feelings to get in the way. The Dynasty of Death's job was to hunt and fight, killing if need be. The Sodality of Life's job was to heal and put restrictions on what the Dynasty could hunt so as not to lose too many of one population of prey. Both factions served the higher ranking cats of The Order, simply known as "The Balanced Quaternate". These four cats lead The Order together, two from the Dynasty of Death and two from the Sodality of Life. They divided the work load between being diplomats and acolytes to serving... some higher purpose that could not be reached. Always, the Balanced would look to the night sky as something stirred inside them. Something called to them. Once Wraith became an adult and proved himself to be a capable fighter, The Balanced received some sort of "Starry Message" they called it. Wraith, among a few select others from both the Dynasty of Death and the Sodality of Life, were to venture beyond their borders and find "The Astral Warriors" that The Balanced Quaternate dreamed about. The Dynasty of Death and the Sodality of Life cats left as soon as they were ordered to go. Where the others have gone, Wraith did not know. It was not his place to question The Balanced Quaternate, for they represented the epitome of "the Balance".
