sorry this isn't super fancy or anything, I usually do like.. uhh.. quality over aesthetic I guess? ^_^" amberhasnosoul :: my name is amber, I use she/they/he and i've been a member of the warriors community since around 2017 or even before that! i'm an avid artist and roleplayer and part of a wonderful system with several other people who will help support me! I am generally decently active, with a scale fluctuating on how much I feel willing to be in front. if I don't front for a week, i have another headmate who's willing to care for tarantulakit until I feel all better :] so typically we're online every day!! this application is for tarantulakit, and he's our little star of the show! he will end up becoming a transfeminine pangender xenogender feline who would use she/he/dark/fossil/heart/it pronouns! yet he will not know this about himself until he becomes an apprentice, and a late apprentice at that. tarantula would most likely stay as an aro/ace feline yet would be reciproromantic (where someone only feels attracted to those who are attracted to them and show it out loud, I figure? if I misinterpreted this term let me know!). I don't think the asexual part would change, though. pos: thoughtful, clever . neu: shy . neg: isolative, ominous thoughtful: tarantula tends to think a lot, and when you're stuck in your own head, you tend to think a lot about how others think and feel, often trying to mentally get into other people's shoes- paws. this leads to him being very giving and polite to others, being understanding about it. clever: he's got a lot of smarts in his head, and is able to whip out a random solution if he's ever stuck! with tarantulakit, everything's a rather good surprise with how he can solve riddles or make a silly pun at random moments. shy: tarantulakit feels isolated from others, rather nervous and tentative to approach anyone, too afraid of being rejected to even speak up. if he speaks to one cat, he rarely tries to do it again, not wanting to "spoil the mood" of others. isolative: tarantulakit can sometimes take his coyness too far, and end up lashing out at others in order to get them to go away, at times having periods of hot-and-cold while he internally debates many things. he genuinely doesn't mean to come off as too harsh, but prefers to be left alone. it's better to prevent being left that way, according to him. ominous: he's just got a creepy feeling to him, always being slightly too stealthy, staring from the shadows, or just in general speaking weird. he's rather poorly socialized so he struggles to speak up and speak his mind properly, leading to him making other kits and cats feel put off by him. GENERAL PERSONALITY: Tarantulakit is a ball of joy and mild anxiety who has nothing but good intentions in mind. Yet his own avoidance is his downfall, leading to him to stay away from other cats and become more and more of a social outcast, being seen a bit strangely as he tries his best to keep up with others and usually fails to do so, leading to him being upset with himself and repeating a cycle. He's surprisingly intelligent, and thoughtful of others, and works to make his environment safe for everyone else; he would rather never have anyone feel the way he does. RESEARCH IS IN N&C TO AVOID CHARACTER LIMITS TRIVIA Tarantulakit often chirps instead of mewling like a normal kit, and most likely will never grow out of this habit. Nobody knows where he got this from, but it's just been accepted that he's just like that. His nicknames would be (IC) Tara, Tarantu, Tula, Taran (OOC) Spiderboy, Tutu He has a complete and utter fascination with everything dream-related and believes he could interpret dreams if given enough time (he can't. just let him believe it, he deserves his happiness) Cobwebs keep mysteriously getting into his fur and nobody knows how. This kit is almost usually in the line of sight but the one second he isn't he gets covered in cobwebs! Has small fangs that show when he smiles. OTHER/EXTRA keep in mind I am part of a system and sometimes we can be a bit busy-- I have to swap accounts often so the other headmate can mess around with their own gens cats and I wanna give Tarantulakit the best life he can get! For Previous Gens characters, I'd have to say me personally? None. But I've helped co-write two previous gens cats on the collective account before we discovered individual headmates can get their own cats. : : Peachflower of FlurryClan, and Lichenpaw of MossClan!
RESEARCH: Klinefelter's Syndrome Klinefelter's is when a male cat gets an extra X gene, which causes them to present with a small chance of getting mixed pelts that are usually reserved for calico females. It can happen very rarely, and is often not something usually seen in cats as it can be 1/1000. Due to Klinefelter's, Tarantulakit is entirely sterile and unable to have biological kits due to this. It also severely impacts his body's testosterone production, leading to varying issues such as weakness and behavioral/cognitive issues that would present in his odd behaviors of isolation and snapping at others. Tarantulakit would also have to deal with severe joint weakness and pain at times, his body at higher risk for a variety of illnesses, and easier to have his bones break. The life of a cat with Klinefelter's Syndrome can be hard, but it is livable, as a lot of cats with this issue can survive for quite a long time, yet usually not as much as other cats, often dying in just a few years sadly. They have to deal with autoimmune disorders as well; a simple extra chromozone could change everything for their life, and it definitely has for this little fellow here. The summary is: Klinefelter's is a tricky topic to get your hands on, as the human vs cat experience is very different. It heavily affects cats with weakness, autoimmune disorders, and behavioral issues. It would affect Tarantula and basically create his day-to-day life. He'd feel outcasted or irrationally upset at times, even though he knows he shouldn't be feeling so upset over things that would be so small. He has an issue with controlling himself, feeling like the pain in his body, the weakness, the feeling of being fragile like an actual spider, is the world's fault.
