Age: Newborn.
Gender: Tom
Personality:
You'd be amazed at how cheerful Grave can be. It's like, I dunno, he's allergic to being serious.Description:
Grave's primary coping mechanism is humor. His life hasn't been easy, and in response, he flips off the world and laughs at the general absurdity of, well, life, the universe, and everything.
That doesn't make him an idiot. He's of at least average intelligence [perhaps marginally above average] and is capable of taking things seriously, though it usually requires his life or someone else's being on the line. His general response to stress is to crack a joke about it, be it snarky, lame, or genuinely funny. After that, he buckles down and does what he has to do.
He has a habit of poking fun at others. For the most part, he's just teasing, but he often doesn't know when he's crossing the line between 'funny' and 'mean.' And he doesn't stop. Every time Grave is there, trying to Make It Funny. And, if you don't take yourself too seriously, he just might succeed.
Another thing to consider: Grave isn't exactly acquisitive, but he doesn't really THINK about ownership. He can and will take anything that's not nailed or chained down, and he's been known to go after the secured stuff, too [though that's rarer]. Also, finding his way into other territories or camps is pretty much automatic, so he has no real concept of "your clan’s camp" and "my clan’s camp." Privacy? "Pfft, whatever," he says.
Let me repeat that: if you are talking to Grave, he is very definitely looking at your stuff, and then he is taking it, and then, because his self-preservation instincts are not high, he is probably rifling through your freshkill pile right in front of you. Shiny things? He wants them. Food? sh*t yeah, he'dtaptake that.
Grave's actually a thin jet-black kit with baby blue eyes, which he'll never grow out of. On his legs are charcoal, or soot, black classic tabby leg markings.History:
What history? Newly born to Spiderlily and Pripyat of Boneclan.Other:
Abilities/Strengths[/blockquote]
His primary advantages are speed and dexterity, with a side dish of Boneclan fighting training.
Let me expand on that a little: Grave's a fast little bugger. He is Speedy Gonzalez mixed with Speed Racer and a side order of "Holy sh*t that cat is fast!" The tom probably speed-reads his own thoughts. He runs rings around larger felines.
Weaknesses
Being fast and flexible limits muscular strength, so he isn't going to be killing Bane and taking over Boneclan anytime soon.
Also, he's thinner and wirier than an anorexic streetlight. He might be durable compared to non-Boneclan members, but he's nowhere near as indestructible as, say, Bane or Pripyat. Anybody big enough could snap him like a twig using only a patented look.
And let's not go into the weaknesses of his personality. He's impatient and selfish, quick to anger [though usually also quick to forgive]. Grave's the first one to feel hot, cold, sweaty, or like he's got itchy trigger fingers. His impulsivity makes him unpredictable, but it's more likely to land him in trouble.
