APPEARANCE, image
For the most part, Kivuli is the typical caracal. He is of typical height and build, with a springy step, tawny fur, and large ears. His haunches are the powerful haunches of any jumper, and his long tail has a tendency to lash when he's irritated. His eyes are, perhaps, the most noticeable thing about them, and that's only because of the fact they are very bright. They have the clear-eyed look of most cats, as if the eye is made out of glass instead of whatever it is eyes are made out of. The color is a light yellow-gray. He has several things about him that separate him from other caracals. For one, the left side of his face is scarred from a rather close encounter with a leopard. For another, his ears have obviously seen better days--while they are long, and black-tipped like most caracal's ears, they are tattered to an extreme, with various nicks out of them. His smile is the devil's smile, a little crooked, and a little dangerous. And then, there's that walk of his, a little springy swagger that seems as though he might burst into movement at any second.
PERSONALITY,
Kivuli Mchezaji is a… flawed man, to say the least. He is ruthless, aloof, sarcastic, and rugged. He is characteristically greedy, materialistic, possessive, lusting after whatever he can gain in life. It is a young man's aspiration for wealth, of course. He, in his youth, is captivated by materialistic things. Petty desire. He does not search for profound meanings in life. Only objects. With that being said, Kivu is often distracted by things normal individuals wouldn't find much value in--feathers, bones, etc.
Kivuli is also ruthless and determined. He is often referred to as stubborn and focused. This is a good trait in the sense that, when it comes to survival, it is very useful. On the other hand, it isn't uncommon for other's can be easily put off by his intensity. Everything Kivu does is characterized by a sort of unbroken, focused passion. There are very few things in life that distract him from what he's doing at the time. He is as stubborn as a bull, and rarely deterred by other's opinions.
Kivuli Mchezaji is subtle and clever. He obviously possesses a sharp wit. He is observant, taking in everything and processing it almost mechanically. However, he over-analyzes certain things--other felines. It makes him slightly paranoid. He is constantly expecting deceit and betrayal; therefore, he rarely puts his faith in anyone or anything. This does not, necessarily, make Kivuli awkward in every day conversation. In fact, he can be quite charismatic (when the mood strikes him). He knows what to say, how to behave, and how to speak with a silver tongue. However, he enjoys sarcasm and insolence more often then not.
He is capable of putting on a hard, stoic face and doing what needs to be done. He if selfish when putting his survival before other's well-being, as well as his happiness. it. He views the world through an extremely calculating, callous viewpoint. His emotions, although existent, are typically locked behind a stoic facade.
However, Kivuli is capable of a good game, as well. When he wants something, he will stop at nothing to get it--but in the meantime, he passes time by fooling others. He enjoys taunting larger cats, infuriating them, only to escape from their claws. He may be intense at times, and ruthless at others, but he is capable of whispering sweet nothings, and he might be considered a bit of a womanizer if the mood strikes him right. He has himself a suave tongue, when he wants one. It should be noted that although on the exterior Kivuli Mchezaji is rough, selfish, and occasionally cruel... when he cares for someone, he cares for them deeply, and perhaps just enough to let his self-serving personality get out of the way.
FIRST IMPRESSION, intense, clever, greedy, sarcastic, slightly paranoid, mischievous, part-time womanizer
HISTORY,
He was well cared for, as a kit, but it was likely he was a little traumatized after witnessing the death of his only sibling, Ngurumo, at the fangs of lions. Thereafter, his parents found him intense and focused on survival. But he became a bit of a walking contradiction, for although he fought ruthlessly to live, he would also taunt the larger cats on the savanna.
