Name: Growltiger
Gender: Male
Age: Adult (Between 24-27)
Tribe: Jellicle
Tribe Position: n/a
Family: Parents-That he can't remember much; Siblings-Uknown
Appearance: He's a creamy brown, scarlett, and burnt orange tiger tabby. He's a tall, big boned, beefy and muscular tom. He's got some weight on him, but it's a healthy weight. He's quite content with his extra blubber. He lost most of his right ear in a fight when he was a young kitten. He wears a black patch(normally its a plain black patch) over his right eye. (A scar over that eye, blinded him in that eye, during a fight on one of his first ventures out at sea). Wears a sash, (he has a few different colored ones) around the top of his head. He does still wear a black belt around his waist with a dagger either attached or his dagger is in his den. (Old habits die hard.)

Personality: He use to be quite obnoxious and arrogant during his scourge of the seas. He was egotistical, and very fire-y. However, with age, he has learned maturity. He is much more respectful towards others, especially queens. After his encounter with Griddlebone and several failed mating attempts with other queens, he likes to treat all the queens he meets with honor.
Even one's with an attitude, he respects. He addresses them as 'My Lady'; and will only call them by their name or by a nickname if he becomes friends with them. He is gracious towards queens. Despite his previous battles, some victories and some failures; he is courteous and honorable with his enemies. He doesn't like cheap moves and will fight his opponents fairly. He'll also recognize an enemy, that has defeated him, for his skills.
Don't think he'll lay down and take attitude. He does indeed love a girl with fire, but he will not be constantly abused, used, or walked on. He's still got the fire he had when he first set sail on the seas, he's full of sass, and can be insolent and disrespectful. Growltiger is still a tom, and he has his limits. Once he reaches his threshold, he'll fight fire with fire. Sometimes, he will be a bit fire-y, if its with a close friend, and it's always in a playful manner.
Growltiger, though not always forthcoming with his opinions, and isnt overly outgoing. However, he will speak his mind when it is appropriate and he sticks to it. He will not agree with one thing, then change his mind the next. He is the same way with choices in his life. Even if it is the wrong way, Growltiger will stick with it, and bare the consequences of his actions. He is not a stranger to making mistakes. Growltiger is a tom of his word, and does all in his power to keep the promises he makes.
Describing word: Chivalrous
History: He had a fairly normal childhood, he grew up among a small group of cats, down by the thames docks. They weren't quite big enough to be called a tribe, however, for the longest time after Growltiger was born he'd always found himself staring out at the water. He lost his parents when he was very young. Growltiger, didn't know it back then, and still isn't sure what happened to them. They had gone out looking for food, when the fish didn't bite, and just never came back. He of course, assumes that they were killed or died from some sort of accident.
With no parental figures, he would act out. He grew more wild, and the others never knew how to handle him. The others his age didn't know how to act around him, after his parents went missing. One of them, jealous of the attention the older ones tried to give to Growltiger, began to bully Growltiger. Being a bit younger, the scarlett/orange tiger kept getting beat up. Eventually, he stood up for himself and a vicious fight broke out between them. Though he did beat the older tom, he had lost most of his left ear in the fight, and much of his hearing as well in that ear.
Growltiger, though, was looked down when they found out how bad the other tom was beaten. He left the small group and stowed on board a boat that had been coming and going from the docks. He was of course found out, by another small group of cats. He was able to prove himself quickly to the others. Started off small, but quickly fit in with the merry band of outfits. He became first mate to a pirate named RedPlague. The two had a very trustful friendship.
Redplague was also his wingman, whenever they were ashore. Most of his flings and relationships with queens were because of Redplague. He learned to treat queens that they were lesser of him, from Redplague. Growltiger had never learned the necessary things, since he lost his parental figures. Redplague kind of became that figure for him, and he reguarded and loved the tom as a father. Together, they did criminal acts, and much of Redplague's success was due to Growltigers plans and resourcefulness when things went wrong.
Redplague started to get paranoid that Growltiger's natural leadership, intelligence and resourcefulness would eventually put him as the leader. Obsessed with staying the leader, he began to do crazy, unorthodox things. He would put the others lives in danger. They approached Growltiger about it, and rallied behind him, when they mutinied. Growltiger and Redplague dueled, and Redplague kept on going no matter what Growltiger threw at him. Replague didn't give him a choice, and Growltiger had to kill him. He lost his eye during the mutiny, and now wears a patch over it.
They continued to loot and live the good life, with Growltiger as the new leader. He learned, through Redplague's failure's that his crew needed to come first. He did, he earned a lot of respect from his crew, and he became a great influence on the coastal communities all along England. His name created fear in hearts of others, even though he had never really done anything "bad". He was just doing whatever he wanted and being free at sea. Growltiger, had no idea how he got the name "The terror of the Thames", but his growing fame rivaled Macavity's, and is probably why Macavity had wanted him out of the picture.
Stopped in some docks, to resupply and have some entertainment, Growltiger first ran into Griddlebone in the local city. She made his heart skip beats, and he felt like he could just die from staring at her. He put the moves on her, and she joined him on their boat the next day. They set sail, and Growltiger, in a weak moment forgot about his crew and wanted the world for Griddlebone. She was his main focus, and he serenaded her, danced for her, basically fell pretty hard for her. He treated her like she was a delicate and gorgeous princess and needed everything. Despite that, he still acted like his goal was still his own personal pleasure.
Being distracted by Griddlebone, he was boarded by another boat, with siamese cats on board. Genghis and Growltiger got into a fight. He lost track of Griddlebone, and had believed the queen was killed. Thinking of Griddlebone being killed, gave Genghis the advantage he needed. Genghis got the upperhand and Growltiger lost. Growltiger was forced to walk the plank. Having never learned to swim, he accepted that, that was his death. He hit the water, and blacked out.
Growltiger was found on shore, unconscious, by a couple jellicles out on a walk. They brought him back to the junkyard and with Old Deuteronomy's blessing the healers of the junkyard healed the gruff tom and helped him recover. He woke up renewed, and though he still misses being on the water, even the smell of water, he knows he would have died if the jellicles hadn't found him and helped him. Growltiger swore his life to the jellicles and doesn't think his debt can ever be repaid. Still, he tries, he is not a protector or a fighter, but he will fight/protect if he is needed. He also learned that Griddlebone was still alive, after he recovered. Growl also found out that Griddlebone was rumored to work for Macavity. He came up with his own conclusions that she had been working for Macavity the whole time and was the reason he was almost killed.
RP Sample: Growltiger, though despite his gruff appearance, was quite gentle, when he cupped the exotically beautiful queen's cheek. "My dear." He rubbed his thumb slightly along her smooth scarred cheek. "I hope you do not think me too forward, but you are far too beautiful to have been hurt so." Slowly, he removed his paw, so as to not overstep his bounds. It wasn't right, though he did give her a polite smile, to assure her he hadn't meant to come off as rude.
Comments: Isn't fond that the jellicles enact a part of his life, but it entertains them, and he owes them his life.
