Star Firesight!

Bonus! Healer/Second Firesight:

And Outsider/Apprentice Rusty/Fire:

Design Notes:

I redesigned him again despite saying I would stop doing that... Prev design and old bio here.

He still has a lot of the same features as my previous design, i mostly just changed his pattern and coloring! I wanted him to be a rustier color!

I also changed his cheek fluff to be round, mostly just for an interesting face shape! his cheek fluff hangs a little more flat when he's older just to give him a more matured look (hes been thru some shit, his cheeks hath deflated)

Character Bio:

Star Firesight

(Fireheart/star)

Bisexual & Polyamorous; Trans Tom; he/him

Age as of 1st arc's beginning: 7 moons; 11 Hyrs

Age as of 1st arc's end: 2 cycles, 5 moons; ~26 Hyrs

Title meaning: -sight = this cat can spot things that others cannot; a cat with a close connection to the Stars; this healer receives many signs from the Stars; the healer may also be very good at spotting illnesses or injuries.

Outsider -> Healer -> Second -> Leader of Thunder Order

Mentor: Redtail (died) -> Spottedleaf

Mother: Nutmeg

Father: Jake

Sibling: Sapheart (Princess)

Half Siblings: Socks; Ruby: Tinyclaw

Mates: Sandstorm; Shriketail

Kits: Squirrelflight (sire: Sand); Leafpool (sire: Shrike); Foxleap (sire: Sand); Icecloud (sire: Shrike)

Grandkits: Star Hollyleaf; Falconstrike; Jaywing; Alderheart; Sparkfire

Other notable kin: Cloudtail (nephew); Snowshoe (nephew); Mistletoe (niece); Spiderleg (nephew); Shrew (nephew)

Notes:

Firesight has chronic pain (and mobility issues later in life):

Fire has the Scottish Fold breed's mutation which effects cartilage in the body, this causes his ears to fold, but it also causes chronic joint pain and can progress into swollen and inflexible joints.

For Fire, he is has the heterozygous version of this mutation, which means that his disability progresses more slowly, as a young cat he does experience some joint pain, with some days being worse than others. He is able to medicate with his own chronic pain herbal mix he created as a Healer. However as Fire grows older his joints will worsen, and by the time of his old age he will be unable to jump and some days is unable to walk.

He is able to still use his medication to aid him and is able to lead a happy life, but he is disabled and I didnt want to leave that out of his character! It's important to have disability rep (and spread awareness of the issues with the Scottish Fold breed) and I hope I serve him justice!

[Image 1 ID: a digital drawing of Star Firesight, an AU version of Firestar from Warrior Cats. He is standing with his left side showing and has a proud and happy expression with a smile. He is a short, chubby and round shaped rusty orange and red tabby tom with small folded ears and green eyes. his chest, underbelly and paws are all a lighter shade of orange, and he has a red stripe down his back as well as a single red swoop shaped stripe on his side. He has red to orange striping on his face and red freckles on his cheeks. His right ear is brownish-black, he also has a small black spot above his nose and a black stripe on his back. He has a white flame shaped spot on his chest, a white muzzle, white paws and a white tail tip. He wears yellow flowers and green leaves in his pelt and a simple crown rests on his forehead made up of a diamond shaped red stone and a small teardrop shaped white stone below it./End ID]

[Image 2 ID: a digital drawing of Firesight, an AU version of Fireheart from Warrior Cats. this drawing is almost the exact same as the first image, but in this he has no crown./End ID]

[Image 3 ID: a digital drawing of Fire, an AU version of Firepaw from Warrior Cats. this drawing is almost the exact same as the first image, but in this he has no crown, or flowers and leaves adorning his pelt. his face also seems younger and he has a brighter happy expression on his face with his mouth open in a smile like he is talking./End ID]

[residentsofhollowville]

There was a gentle knock on Shrike's door,one he has grown to recognise as Amelie's.

He oopens it, his head bowed low, his hair more than a little tussle. He's never really known how to treat someone who's grieving, so, for now, he'll treat it as he always has. As a friend. As his kin.

"Well. How are you?"

The First Generation

The First Generation of Operatives... (Would love to hear your thoughts on this list ;) )

001 "The First"

Redacted

002 "The Second"

Redacted

003 "Hex"

Cheerful and hyper-violent 003, or Hex, as her siblings have named her is a master of deception. Utilizing a mix of traps, holograms, and stealth armor, she has already shown herself as a dangerous foe, even against her siblings. One of the oldest Operatives, she has also adopted a big sister role to some of her more outcast kin. She displays affection by utilizing ambush hugs and gift-giving.

004 "Shrike"

Unlike most of his siblings, 004 was nicknamed Shrike by the staff here at the lab for his propensity to impale his opponents on premade hooks and left to die or decompose slowly. Competitive and energetic, he has developed a friendly rivalry with 003, whom he always seeks to upstage and harass at every opportunity.

005 "Ari"

Redacted

006 "Mamba"

Smaller and much shyer, similar to his younger sister 013, "Mamba" earned his name from his siblings much later than the others. Weaker and less adept at combat than his siblings, 006 was assigned to frontline duty, hoping to become a good soldier. On the frontlines, sporting light operative combat armor Mamba began using various poisons along with his weapons, earning him a reputation similar to his more prominent and more adept kin.

007 "Stalker"

A hunter, first and foremost, 007 is an expert tracker, often paired with the Heartbreaker Agency and assigned to hunt down their targets. Cautious and slow to trust, he mostly keeps to himself, though he has often been seen spending time with 008. He was last seen nine months after the disaster at Paradise, attempting to track down an unknown target in Commonwealth space...

008 "Nightingale"

Loyal to a fault, 008 has shown herself to be as talented at saving lives as taking them. Always carrying around a medical kit, 008 is constantly on the alert to help her fellow soldiers. Her dedication to those around her has come at a cost, as she will throw herself between those she cares about and danger. She is littered with old scars, including a robotic leg and metal plating in her back. Devastated at the loss she experienced on Paradise, Nightingale or Gale has become a shallow husk of her former self, shutting herself off from others, including her close friend 007.

Currently under observation at the lab.

009 "Mad Dog/ Maximillian"

One would not expect the words of a gentleman to fit the large and equally terrifying Operative. But 009, despite being an expert in messy close-quarters combat, is similarly interested in reading and studying the arts. Assigned as Prince Vasily's guard, the two are unusually close.

010 "Nyx"

Redacted

011 "Ceto"

011 or Ceto, is an expert in aquatic warfare, sporting a unique bright blue combat suit capable of diving into the depths of the galaxy's most dangerous water environments. Relatively friendly and calm, Ceto is loyal to the people of the Empire, above all else. She always professionally presents herself, making it easy for her to integrate with military personnel.

012 "Griffin"

Charismatic and manipulative, Griffin is as power-hungry as he is cruel. Appearing as an average human, 012 has shown themselves capable of manipulating those around him. A smooth voice and innocent smile have earned him many allies in the military, with most viewing him as a grand hero of the Empire. His siblings and those at the lab know the true face hidden behind his hero façade.

013 "The Doll/Little sister"

One of the smaller Operatives, 013, is a proficient hunter and tracker, preferring to let the enemy come to her. She sets traps and carefully scouts positions to fight in. Sporting an oddly flashy personality despite being one of few words she does like to show off when her older brothers and sisters are around, as well as collecting pieces of armor to add to her own, giving off a strange mix of color and armor types. Her armor possesses a form of audio mimicry, allowing her to mimic the voices of her opponents.

014 "The General"

Towering over most on the battlefield, 014 appears as a large shining knight with bulky, heavy armor and a large sword. Charismatic and friendly, this honorable knight has been given the rare honor of receiving an official rank within the army. He has an odd friendship with 015.

015 "Wendigo"

Seeking to finally create a true equal to 001 and 002, the Emperor forced 'Mother' to recreate the original recipe used on the first two. The result was 015. Sporting advanced close-quarter combat armor, this Operative was given the callsign Wendigo by the military and deployed to areas devoid of friendly forces. 015 has exhibited concerning tendencies. When first deployed, they modified their armors mask to have a sort of robotic jaw, which they use to 'consume' their victims ritualistically.

015 is affectionate to those they deem as worthy while mostly ignoring others as if they don't even exist.

[dragoncarrion]

kimmie who's shrikeshed :) ?

AHAAAokay i really like her she's just a micro revival of my edgy teenager phase. this one will get a bit long so under the cut. also uhm. cw for mentions of cannibalism LOL she's my "I'm eating you because I hate you" gal

a little context here. ive been working on this wof fanflight (ashwings. basically like a little dragon subspecies or something) for a few years now, and shrikeshred is one of those, a moor runner specifically. ashwings all live in quivers which are way smaller than the canon kingdoms, each with their own rules and (most common) type of dragon yadda yadda. shrikeshred is the corvus of her quiver, a practical and almost religious leadership role in the moors. what a corvus does is oversee wyvern rearing in the community (here they use wyverns (smaller 2 wing 2 leg feral dragons) for falconry and as companions), officiate burials and influence which leader is next in line, so as such they're vital and very respected in their quiver.

shrikeshred had an almost uncanny TALENT with wyverns, and pioneered training methods and even discovered many novel things about wyverns (ecology, anatomy, etc), all of these things written in her journal-esque book, later on titled "way of the shrike". This is what she WOULD'VE been most known for had she not turned to cannibalizing other denizens. She became a sort of legend boogey man, both for her actions, and because no one really knows exactly what happened, why she turned on her kin and started just eating them. Some believe that lean times put pressure on her, and with Grasshopper, the accipiter (title for the leader) of that time being very incompetent, was what made her snap. While this isn't too far form reality, other things factored in. At first she only ate from already dead dragons, she was so hungry after all :p (this is the reason why corvus werent allowed at funerals for a while lol). but soon, that wasn't enough, something told her she needed more (the something here being a prion rabies disease that she got from eating people and slowly incubated over time lmao). half eaten bodies were starting to be found around the territory, but no one had a clue of what was going on. Shrikeshred was highly respected, so no one suspected her for a while. Hiding her scent with strong oils and perfumes also helped cover her tracks. After killing and eating Grasshopper, her sister, Whistlethorn, got the leadership, something Shrikeshred herself had orchestrated from loooong before. Whistlethorn was NOTTTT leader material: shy, nervous and weak willed, which allowed Shrikeshred to have even more control over the quiver than before. But whistlethorn trusted her, so this seemed alright with her kinda.

soon enough, hunger and illness turned to desperation, and her intellect couldn't keep her crimes hidden anymore. at this point, the disease had almost completely taken over shrikeshred's brain, turning her actions erratic and impulsive. after being found out, she vanished into the Misty Spires, a presumably haunted place sunken in a permanent fog (moor runners believe this fog to be evil or some shit idk). There was a short period of peace, but everyone was still on edge, which turned to outright panic when bodies started turning up again, all impaled in a signature stake (like shrikes do irl!). Whistlethorn was torn (hah), how could the sister she had trusted so much have turned like this? as much as she hated it, she missed shrikeshred, but something had to be done about her. One day, she packed some things up, and left for the spires. No one knows if she succeeded or if she was just another of Shrikeshred's meals, but what's sure is that both of them vanished and were never seen again.

To this day, many still believe Shrikeshred's ireful spirit lurks the spires, and prowls around in search for new victims when the fog descends into the moors.

alsooo i have drawn them ! here's the sisters (whistlethorn's tail tip is broken from playfighting with shrike when they were kids lol. i forgot to mention both of them but especially shrike are WAY bigger and stronger than the average skinny ass moor runner)

and her three wyverns, all of them species considered untameable, so no one has managed to train one besides her ever

Shrike

Shrike

·         Name –Shrike / █████████

·         Aliases/Nicknames – “Mute”, “Mime”, Penitent One and Kin Interfectorem.

·         Gender – Female

·         Species – Angel / Exorcist

·         Eye-Color – Gold Yellow and Black.

·         Hair-Color – White

·         Height – 5’11’’

·         Build – Athletic

________________________________________________________________

Appearance:

Shrike is beautiful and efficient, modest as always. She always keeps herself regimented and healthy.

 Her wings are grey and white. Shrike’s hair is cut short, mostly for comfort while wearing her helmet.

She notably has a scar across her cheek. She avoids discussing it.

________________________________________________________________

Clothing:

Shrike wears the uniform and armor of The Exterminators. Blessed angelic steel and chainmail protects her.

The horns on her helmet resemble goat horns. Uniquely, her mask lacks a visual “mouth”. It’s only her eyes and nothing else.  

When not wearing her armor, she dresses in rather plain and ordinary clothes. She has no desire for extravagant clothes.

________________________________________________________________

Personality:

Positive –  Adaptable, Alert, Attentive, Benevolent,  Clever, Competent, Dedicated, Dependable, Dutiful, Driven, Faithful and Focused.  

Negative – Asocial, Blunt, Cold, Conformist, Dogmatic, Gloomy, Harsh, Incurious, Inflexible, Intolerant, Mechanical and Miserable.  

________________________________________________________________

Shrike serves as one of many dutiful warriors for Adam. Among her sisters, Shrike has earned a reputation for pragmatism and lethal efficiency.

On the outside, she presents herself as an emotionless soldier. This “spartan” like mentality to combat, extends to her personal life away from the yearly exterminations. She lives a dour lifestyle, without flare or flavor. In many ways, she denies herself enjoyment out of penitence.

She made a mistake once that cost her a good friend. This mistake still follows her after so many years. Still, she hasn’t forgiven herself for it.

She robs herself of joy. She endeavors to become just a weapon. Just a machine.

After the defeat at the hotel, Shrike was left behind.  Thought of as dead, she was recovered by the cannibals. Before they could feast upon her, Shrike woke up.

The result was the burning of two city blocks within The Cannibal Colony.  Shrike flees into the forest, while being pursued by sinners.

After successfully escaping her pursuers, she now finds herself trapped in Hell. Unable to return, she devoted herself to waging a one-angel war against the sinners.

With the goal in mind to attack the hotel. She knows she might not be able to kill Charlie. But she would settle for Vaggie.

Star Firesight!

Design Notes:

Fire is now a Scottish fold!... or rather a descendant of Scottish folds since i doubt pure bred cats still exist post apocalypse.

He also has some very small black calico spotting, just two litol spots I think its cute :3

Since he is an ex healer he still wears some flowers like a healer would in memory of his old role.

DUSK BLADE / NAME UTP

ROGUE ( WOOD HALF-ELF ).  IDENTITY UTP.  ( 26+ / 326+ ).  Faceclaim Utp ( poc ).

Not all victims of the Great War had fought within it. Some would suffer after, in the trials which shadowed the wake of a shattered land. Your father had been captain of the elven guard, serving Elendim and its king for a thousand years prior to Asgrim’s end. And your birth came then — a tentative union betwixt elf and mortal — in a town before the realm was known as Rinlun, before the elves had barred their borders to preserve what remained of the good. The product of a venture to restore numbers lost, you were born as half the blood of a fading race, and half of another that wanted you dead. There was no peace to be found with mortal men, no matter how much your parents desired the joined lives of both their kin. They were caught in the midst of these animosities, in a skirmish that left only you to bury them. You found those men, eventually, and took your vengeance in the night — you’d always been good at blending in — and met something of an elven rogue in the gloam, a prince both cowled and cloaked, with the moon dead-dark above you. It had been some time since you’d seen another of your kind, caught in the war of those left behind, deciding who lives and condemning who dies. Then proffered a place amongst others like you, the last two centuries saw you in Miras, immersed in a culture that should have perhaps always been home to you. But it’s time to pick up your knives, assassin, and return to a fight that still has its claws in you. Having pledged yourself to your elven kin, you are tired of losing family — a tale NIGHT SHRIKE shares with you — and take up the role of guard that your father held before you.

DUSK BLADE IS CLOSED AND THEIR SPECIAL STAT IS DEXTERITY.

[erridein]

Some backstory about my Durge, my sweet bloody shrike, my murderous kitten, my beautiful Disney’s hyena, Mikelle. No one asks. Probably, no one will read it.

TW: blood, violence, mention of necrophilia and cannibalism, some sort of domestic abuse from Bhaal.

His step-family lived at the edge of Rivington. His step-father was a hunter, while his step-mother was a wood-elf druidess who decide to live in the city with her human husband. However, she despised the foul city of Baldur’s Gate. She spent more and more time in the forests. Over time, her beliefs shifted toward Malar. When Mikelle slaughtered his step-father and siblings, she was not present. Upon her return, the step-mother saw the sign of her god in the massacre. However, the god she saw was slightly different.

Over the next ten years, they lived in the forests. Mother believed that her destiny was to raise Mikelle to be a perfect predator. She taught him to hunt, track prey, kill, change shapes. They resided next to the Circle of Druids, and were even formally part of it. Occasionally, they entered villages to trade and observe. To learn more about kin. To prey upon them in future.

Mikelle had others before his mother as victims of his murderous appetite. However, only on her passing one evening did Sceleritas reappear. He took Mikelle to Baldur’s Gates. To the cult of Bhaal.

Mikelle was not averse to kill. He was never (or at least not in the last ten years) told that it was wrong. However, there were times when he simply did not want to do this. After all, one cannot hang out with people one has killed. He was willful, made friends, lovers. Bhaal didn't like it. He forced Mikelle to murder his dear ones. Mikelle was allowed to keep their bodies. This is essentially how he became a necrophile (he had tried human meat before entering the cult).

He resisted less and less, and over the second decade, he became an obedient son of Bhaal. At the beginning of the third decade of serving Bhaal (Mikelle was at his late 30th/early 40th, he is a half-elf after all), Mikelle met Gortash, and what the Father and Sceleritas had suppressed within him began to return.

Post-tatpol, Mikelle mentally reverted to the young man from his first years in the cult of Bhaal. Non-innocent, with blood-stained hands, but still unbroken. Unshaped by his divine Father. And for this time, Bhaal did not have as much patience.
