THE WANDERING

Name: Ambrose

Background:

Remembers the time when wolves and cats lived among each other but split when the Goddess blessed wolf with the bodies of men. The division caused an uproar and the cats prayed to the Goddess for help, never receiving Her blessing as the wolf-men did. Bitterness arose within the feline ranks and the name of the Goddess became like poison upon their angry tongues. Almost all cat creature turned their back upon the very Being that gave them live. All…but one. Nameless. He watched as his kin fell from grace and his tribe was plundered into starvation and desolation. Yet, he kept faith. Even when he was cruelly beat and accused of being a traitor, he stood his ground in his devotion for the Great One. Eventually, his tribe banished him from their lands and he became a rogue wanderer. Coming upon the wolves, he made an appeal, but the wolves turned him down in fear of him being a spy and traitor of the Goddess. He then traveled further south to the land of the unknown-creatures, cautiously circling them and waiting for some sign from the Goddess. The story begins around this point.

Likes:

Deer and elk. Hunting. Exploring.

Dislikes:

Thunderstorms. His peoples’ belief system. Suffering of others. How the omegas are treated.

Education:

Little to none, academically. Taught how to hunt and survive only.

Employment:

Was one of the most skilled hunters in the camp before banishment.

Finances:

Nothing but what the Goddess provides.

Political Affiliations:

Wishes his tribe would return to the ways of the Goddess – so is the opposite of what his “government” believes.

Social Class:

Once a skilled hunter, now a rogue. Had many friends within the hunter ranks. Here is the class tower:

Elders – advise and can overrule the alphas if needed – usually don’t…

Alphas – yes, two – male and female

Betas – under alphas – takes over whenever they leave

Gammas – alphas’ lapdog – carries out whatever the alpha has ordered done – a tough and annoying job, but it keeps the wolf well-fed and respected

Hunters – hunt and fight for the food – eat their share directly after alphas and elders then feed rest of pack – seen as expendable, but useful – split up and switch shifts between hunting food and watching the breeders

Breeders – Both male and female – breed the next generation – useful and under constant protection of the hunters

Omegas – disposable, expendable, not respected, practically slaves to rest of pack – this is if you cannot breed, lead, or help the pack in any other way – you are NOT born into this

Rogues – lowlifes, scum, scorned and hated by any and all who see the mark of the rogue (scarred X over one eye) – can be turned away by any other tribe if mark is seen – wanderers – don’t tend to stick with other rogues (causes too many fights and makes them easier to spot if on the run) – you become rogue if your pack banishes you and gives you the mark, typically given for major crimes like murder or treason.

Fears:

A lot of things – is good at overcoming fears – fear of lightning has never faded, however, and caused problems with his hunting and his pack

Addictions:

            The Goddess

Biggest Regret:

Not being able to tell his mother goodbye and leaving her at the hands of those fools (though she is a breeder and therefore, hopefully, protected)

Believer:

THE GODDESS

Afraid of Death:

Yes, but is comforted by the fact that the Goddess watches over him and that he’ll be with her in afterlife

Seen corpse?:

He’s a hunter…

Seen ghost?:

Uh, not a ghost. Only the Goddess. Many tribe members claim to have seen the spirits of their ancestors, though this is usually done deep in the mountains or a dream

Sexuality:

Straight as man’s arrows

Glass:

Is full of cat piss – wait, what’s a glass?

Dressers:

Wtf is that? Clothes? What are those? Is it like fur?

Last cried:

When he had to leave his mother, cried for hours on end but was comforted by the Goddess and moved along

Can he see another person’s POV:

He understands why his tribe did what they did, but remains angry and upset over the possibility of how his mom may be treated without him – also understands the wolves’ hostility and fear towards him – But cannot for the life of him, understand the humans…yet

How he writes:

He kind of can’t…paws, remember?

How he thinks:

Sort of already explained this, soooooo…

How he speaks:

Mostly body language and with his eyes or mind, but can speak both cat and wolf, not a lot of human words.

How he feels:

Hungry…

Kidding, abandoned and lonely – lost and a bit frightened – the humans scare him but he feels like the Goddess is leading him there for some reason – being brave isn’t about not having fear, it’s about overcoming those fears and doing what needs to be done despite them (that’s his motto – his momma always used to tell him that)

Rules:

Speaks broken English.

Always capitalize the Goddess in all her names: Her, Being, Great One, etc…

See through animal eyes, not human; Human hands called paws, nails as claws, fur upon their head, but also feathers – strange creatures, they are…

Hunting (How It Works):

Although their main food source is plant life, the cats capture trespassers and/or spies and cook them into food. This is why hunters are also considered guards.
