APPEARANCE, [url=http://i45.tinypic.com/2zzoykh.jpgimage
Tokken is a lithe male with long, thick muscular legs able to propel him at high speeds, up to around 60mph. His coat resembles a golden canvas stretching out across his body, pock-marked with ebony spots that vary in size and shape. Dark sable rings shape around the tip of the tail circling the blonde that gently fades to creamy yellow. The muscles are broad and easily detectable beneath the skin-tight fleece that adorns him. An underbelly, that bears notably less spots, fades from golden to a light creamy sun-kisses color and this pattern continues through the bottom of his coat. His paws are darker than the rest of him, the color mixing to create something close to copper. The claws and pads, that are thick and necessary for his survival, continue in a sample of dark brown acting like cleats and enabling quick maneuvers at high speeds. The skull that is set upon a long neck is small and angled downward with a wide set of curious ochre eyes. Beneath them the familiar ‘tear-drop’ shapes that the cheetah is known for. The sable markings travel to his muzzle, stopping at the bottom lips where Tokken’s color is significantly lighter. His nose is black, much like the markings along his body, and short barely noticeable whiskers poke from each side of his maw.
In short Tokken is what the gods intended a cheetah to be, his body shaped and formed to be the fastest predator. He has all the assets that allow him to be a cocky individual, what with the long balanced tail, narrow skull, long neck and flexible back, Tokken is as proud as ever to be a large cat of his kind, and when you meet him, you won’t hear the end of it. Tokken is obsessed with being clean, and as such there is normally not a fleck of dirt along his coat.
PERSONALITY,
Tokken’s view of the world around him is a bit jaded. He can come across as negative, and yet he tries so hard to see the world in a positive light. He isn’t one to ignore an injustice, and will probably interject himself into something he doesn’t exactly belong in. He is curious by nature, and will always investigate, even is common sense is yelling at him to run in the other direction. He is normally kind, or at least he tries to be, it may not come off as effectively if he is in a bad mood. He toughens himself up around others, and often talks to himself when he is alone. He has this desire to be liked that he cannot entirely place, he loves to be loved and if you show him a little bit of that he will flock to you time and time again. He doesn’t expect too much from a relationship, all he asks if that you care for him and protect him like he would you. He is a loyal cat, despite being solitary and if he makes a friend, normally keeps them. He can be exceptionally generous if you befriend him, and in Tokken you will find someone who will care about you for life. That being said however it takes a whole lot for Tokken to be able to trust others, as his past has proven that not all big cats are your friends. He will slyly ask questions to research another’s character, while attempting to be coy, and upon approach will always raise the hackles along his neck in warning. He is protective, simple as that, and it will take some time before Tokken reveals anything personal about his life. That being said he has a specific pride about him about being a cheetah, that he likes to promote to everyone within earshot. He loves his breed of big-cat and will admire his reflection for a long while if given the opportunity. It is the only qualities of himself that he really prides, and it’s something that no one can every take away.
He had been undecided about his sexuality for a while now and as such has never mated before, the thought isn’t a prominent one on his mind, and if begged to answer the question Tokken gets a little frustrated. He had a difficult time determining what his emotions are for others, and it may take a while for Tokken to figure everything out in his head and heart before he really opens up. He is thoughtful, as in he likes to reflect before answering a question, so that he can really make his answer accurate.
The loss of his brother had affected him in such a way that Tokken has thought and decided against having pups of his own, but that doesn’t mean his mind couldn’t be persuaded otherwise if he met the right one. Tokken may be a hard book to crack, or even open but once there you’ll find he is a pleasant enough cheetah who has respect and pride in all the right places.
FIRST IMPRESSION, What a negative nelly or he is so full of himself
HISTORY,
Tokken was raised with only his mother and single brother, their paw prints were imprinted all across his birthplace, and in what can only be a selective memory Tokken can see his Mother running away other males to protect her young. Although your mother can protect you for only so long, and it happened that the males had out-smarted her one day. In what could only be a cruel twist of fate, two male large cats ganged together, their intent on stealing and devouring young cubs. Tokken and his brother were playing in the field, hunting butterflies and pouncing upon one another while their Mother ran a quick perimeter of the land, making sure her family was safe. Her eyes could easily see her young, as she trotted with eloquent speed in the long grasses. Kodiak was smaller than Tokken, but they were both young and it didn’t occur to them that they too should be looking out.
Tokken can’t remember all the details to what happened that day, as it all happened so quickly it runs in a blur around his mind. His mother shouted, her cry a sharp as a birds and Tokken looked up, ochre optics filled to the brim with worry. The long grasses waved unusually and Tokken could see a glimmer in the sunlight that shouldn’t have been there. That’s when he turned, his small paws carrying him swiftly back to his mother, he called to Kodiak, a whimper that was as louder as thunder, but Kodiak was paralyzed with fear, his eyes wide with fright. It wasn’t a second longer that Tokken looked back to see his brother picked up in the jaws of a gigantic male, his mother tugged him away and finally grasped him within her jaws and carried him away. Trees flicked him on the face as they ran; the tear- stained markings along his eyes now were honestly stained with tears from the loss of his brother. Behind his lids Kodiak’s face was immortalized and above him he could hear his mother muffle her sobs while the cub hung from her mouth. Her eyes said ‘We will be safe now son. I promise’ and although his beloved mother has passed on now she kept her promise as well as she could, and Tokken lives life with her, and his late brother, in mind.
