Stray Adoption

[violetrook]

Greetings! Welcome to the Stray Adoption Center

      Strays are NPCs (Non-player characters or characters not played by any one player already) that were introduced during a story line. 
Adopting a stray will make it your character. 

Thank you for your interest in adopting a stray. It's a wonderful thing you're doing.

If it helps, while you're pondering your choice, please feel free to listen to this song: The Adoption Song

Let the dream for one of these strays, begin!

The concepts on each of the applications are not set. They are only examples of the types of cats they could become. You are encouraged to make each cat your very own. However, if you are new to Cats and/or the board and find it challenging to come up with your own concepts right away, then please feel free to use a template idea given in the application. - The important part of adopting a stray is that they become yours.  Your ideas and your stories for that cat will give it life. As always, all character applications must be submitted in a separate thread and must still be approved by a story-teller.

Name: Mayhymn, The Choir Cat, Queen of the Choral (Or create a different Catspect (Aspect)-read first)

Gender: Female

Age: Must be at the start of adolescents or younger – free to choose

Tribe: Jellicle

Tribe position: Member

Family: She is/was a stray – You’re free to choose, but the history would need to include how/why she was stray.

Appearance: Free to choose

Human appearance: Free to choose

Personality: Free to choose

Faults: Free to choose

Describing word: Free to choose

History: In this mythos, she was/is a stray or at least…posing as a stray. Her injuries at the end of the stray story line were not made specific. Read the thread: Healing the Strays for more information.

Role-play Sample: Free to choose

Comments: Mayhymn will not possess a Mystic Power. The thought behind this Cat when she was written in the story was that she is a Church Cat. She is really in to music and the choir. The full vision for this stray (if you are interested in keeping this) saw her as a Heaviside faithful. She may even learn herbs and medicine to help the community of Jellicles (much like she was helped). This vision offers a lot of possible role-play aspects. As a younger feline you could go through the role-play of learning these new skills. The role-play around ‘what is Heaviside’ could help the community explore this aspect of Cats, the musical. Perhaps, she was only posing as a stray because she was attempting to walk a mile in their shoes. It was her way of taking the faith to the strays. -- Her future is up to you…Happy role-play.

Comments: Benedict will not have a Mystic Power. - The original concept for Benedict (which you are not required to keep) is that he is a library cat. He's a geek. He likes to read a lot. He has an O.C.D. issue which makes him perrrfect for assisting folks at the Library make sure they put books back in order, etc... He could be in to comic books and graphic novels, audio books etc... Maybe he's in to role-playing games too. A role-player with in a role-player. Maybe they could play Humans & Houses (a pun on D&D). - His future is up to you, so what'cha gunna do? -- Have fun with him. The name Benedict means = Good (Bene in Latin) Word (Dict - comes from diction, Latin for word).

Name:Bleys, The Liege of Lounging

Gender: M

Age: Adolescent or younger

Tribe: Jellicle

Tribe position: Member

Appearance: - up to you.

Human appearance: - up to you.

Personality: - up to you.

Describing word: - up to you.

History: In our mythos Bleys is/was a stray. How and why is up to you.

Role-play Sample: - up to you.

Comments: Bleys will not have a Mystic Power. The original concept of Bleys (which you are not required to keep) is, he's kinda lazy. He just wants to chill and play with Cat Nip. His original concept was that he would be in to modern style music. Maybe, he's a D.J. for rave parties or house parties. His techno, house, electric style music helps the Jellicles stay current on the music front. All that classic music is good and all, but it set the foundation for modern music, such has techo, house, rave, trap etc... So, he chills and spins. - What parties would you have him attend? How far has he gone down the cat nip rabbit hole? Cats with habits are fun to play!!!!! Put down some sick beats with Bleys. Party people in the house tonight!!! We're gunna have a real good time!

Name: Ghossamyr, The Phantom Feline (Special note, you must confirm with X2 on this cat. Yes, there is a very special reason and requires the approval of X2 or another story-teller)

Gender: FM

Age: Kitten

Tribe: Jellicle

Tribe position: Member

Family: - Up to player

Appearance: She is a Van cat. Her body is white. Around the base of her ears and at the tips of her tail and paws (socks) she is blue (Grey, but in the animal world they call that blue).

Human appearance: - up to player

Personality: - up to player

Faults: - up to player

Describing word: - up to player

History: In our mythos Ghossamyr is/was a stray. How/why is up to you.

Role-play Sample: - up to player

Comments: This cat MIGHT have a Mystic Power. X2, at the time of this post has not approved said power. Not even sure if she's had a chance to read what I'm doing. Ghossamyr's original concept (which you are not required to keep) is that once (if) her Mystic Power kicks in she will have the ability to play with Light. Make small illusions, disappear, and even tread on light itself. - Even without a Mystic Power this white/blue cat could learn how to be one of the sneakiest cats still giving her the Phantom Feline catspect (Aspect, I just like saying: Catspect). What light will you shed on the life of this little kitten? -- It's up to you! Shine on friend!...Shine on.

Name: Ahri, the Faerie Cat (Faerie Feline)

Gender: FM

Age: Adolescent 17

Tribe: Jellicle

Tribe position: member

Family: - Up to player

Appearance: Ahri is a red-furred Somali cat with leaf-green eyes. She is extremely pretty and looks like a red-fox or even one of the fabled Kitsune (Hence the catspect: The Faerie Cat).

Human appearance: - Up to player

Personality: - Up to player

Faults: - Up to player

Describing word: - up to player

History: In our mythos Ahri is/was a stray. How/why is up to you.

Role-play Sample: - up to player.

Comments: Ahri will not have a Mystic Power. She's just really pretty. You should note that Pawprince has currently worked his King of Hearts mojo (not a power) and will be "dating" Ahri or at least go out on a date. If you are not willing to continue that role-play Pawprince will understand and that will not be an issue. That romantic story will not be a long lasting one as destiny has been set for Pawprince. Ahri's original concept (which you are not required to keep) was/is: She's fast and smart. She enjoys technology and puzzles. Perhaps she's a police officer's friend and helps find clues to human crimes. What does that mean for the Jellicles? Can Ahri remain true to her crime stopping ways or will she help continue to mask the raids by certain cats in the area? Good chance she will have some role-play with the Henchcats!!!! Maybe even help keep humans out of the junkyard? What clues will you find to Ahri's future?
