Long time no see, haha. Anyways, I’m Finley, or Fin[n], whatever you fancy calling me. I’m a freshman in college hoping to one day become a CSI. I still love to read and to write and of course, draw as well. Some of my hobbies include playing Magic: The Gathering and collecting Pokémon cards. Currently, I am deeply enthralled by Hollow Knight, if that wasn’t obvious from my pfp (and also labeling my table of contents as precepts… The 57 precepts of Zote!!). ❉ who am I applying for? why? ❉ ⁀➷ Of the kits presented within the litter, I am applying for Gelidkit. More generally, I really like the name and the accompanying design. They match perfectly with each other. On a wider scope, after two years of not writing or rping at all, I really want to get back into it, and this roleplay has been with me for six years. Literally since my sixth grade year to now. Nine times out of ten, I also just like starting off as kit characters. Furthermore, I’ve never played a character that had parents much older than them, and as someone who has older parents in real life, I think I can connect with that and I think roleplaying that dynamic would be fun! That is why I am applying for him. ❉ character history/longevity ❉ ⁀➷ Most people now know me for one of three characters. Badgeroak, Laugh(ingstock/menace), or Citrussonder. Admittedly, I don’t have the best track record of keeping characters past fifty moons, not in this roleplay at least. In TTC, all my characters technically never died, and I kept them for over a year. I just fell into a pit of inactivity, unfortunately. I think now that I’m a bit older I’ll have an easier time keeping Gelidkit around well past the 30 moon mark. I could not exactly tell you how long I would keep him because, as I’ve said before, nobody can really predict the future. But I’ll do my best to keep him for as long as I am capable. ❉ personality concept ❉ ⁀➷ (+) Philosophical (thinking deeply about things), devoted, empathetic (=) Yearnful, calculated, reflective (-) sensitive, self-destructive, narcissistic My concept for Gelidkit is based off the idea of a tortured poet. A soul reflective of their pain and willingness to try and transform it into some kind of art. He thinks deeply about the world around him, wanting to paint an answer to its many mysteries. He’s calculated, reflective, and devoted to his craft. He’s empathetic to his peers, to nature, to the world, which can sometimes do more harm than good to his sensitive soul. It can lead him to be self-destructive, and sometimes, his inner turmoil can lead him to be quite narcissistic or emotionally manipulative. For woe is him. Ultimately though, he wants to try and transform his often-solemn feelings into some beautiful art that others can understand, and even relate to. (summary, I will expand upon this if I win him!) ❉ trivia ❉ ⁀➷ - Gelid will likely end up being non-binary and identifying as queer. - Gelid will likely take some artistic liberties and opt to making pictures of sorts with the flora he finds, or even decorate his pelt with whatever he can find littered across ShadowClan. - He will most likely be a perfectionist, for better or for worse. - He’s also loosely based off the song Achilles Come Down. - Gelid considers himself to be a sort of protector for his family. ❉ codewords ❉ ⁀➷ Winter’s snow usually reflects the pale blue sky. ❉ Credits ❉ ⁀➷ - Song: Achilles Come Down by Gang of Youths - Art, ... it's a w.i.p. - Design, - Litter host, - thank you! ┕━━━━ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ━━━━┙
