✦•······················•✦•······················•✦ [ ‘ “ Shady Beach ” - A Shadykit Application ’ ] ✦•······················•✦•······················•✦ About Me _____________ Hey there! I’m Quinn! I have been a member of generations since it started. Ive also been roleplaying for about five years now! I’ve had 15 generations cats, and Shady here, should i get him, will be my 16th! I am a member of both the LGBT and disabled communities. I use they/it pronouns wise. I have multiple special interests and hyperfixations, Gens being one of them :) ✦•······················•✦•······················•✦ Kit I’m Applying for (and why!) ______________________________ I will be applying for the gorgeous Shadykit! Ive been planning to kill off Turtlesmile for a while now, as she is based off of a character who dies tragically, and I wanted to reflect that with him. I have much nicer plans for Shady, him being my in between character, as me and Fern have been planning to make some sibling characters. Shady is going to be based off of Donnie from RotTMNT! One of my special interests haha ✦•······················•✦•······················•✦ Gender and Sexuality _______________________ As a kit, Dy will go by he/him pronouns. However, the older he gets, the more he realizes that these pronouns don’t quite fit her. He will then identify as nonbinary, using the pronouns of They/He for the rest of his life. As they are a he/him as a kit, those are the pronouns I will use for this application. As Sha grows, he’ll likely be some mixture of aro/ace and bisexual. ✦•······················•✦•······················•✦ Personality ______________ Shady is, outwardly, a very antisocial cat, one who can seem quite frightening. However, the more you get to know him, the sillier and more loyal he becomes. He is a very logical cat, and a rule follower, one to act based off of precision and data rather than instinct. Sometimes this can get in the way of him performing certain actions. He is also quite silly, though he doesn’t show this side of him to those who don’t know him very well. He enjoys hanging out with his loved ones, forming close bonds with them when possible. He is not one to express feelings through words, rather using actions, doing small acts of service to help his friends and family. On the other side, he can be quite egotistical, believing he is better and smarter than everyone else. He’s very sarcastic, and sometimes can be quite rude. Shade is also quite intelligent. ✦•······················•✦•······················•✦ Former Characters ____________________ As I mentioned before, ive had 15 other characters, some of whom were actually quite accomplished. These characters were: Sunheart (died from safety fail) Pufferfishkit (died from sneaking out) Flailghost (executed) Tunaspirit (moss deputy, died in battle) Burrowwhisper (killed off) ScribbIewonder (poisoned) Nightcrawl (illness) Canarysong (founder of Urchin, former uc dep, died fighting a badger) Magnoliablight (uc medic, murdered) Monodypaw (died in war) Caninekit (weekly kit) Abyssalkit (weekly kit and illness) Meadowrise (founder and leader of GoR, weekly predator) Etherealhollow (killed off) Turtlesmile (alive, will be killed off) ✦•······················•✦•······················•✦ Activity Level _______________ I am, admittedly, a bit less active than I used to be. However I still check scratch daily, and do my best to roleplay at least once a week. ✦•······················•✦•······················•✦ Disorder + Research _____________________ Shadykit will have Autism, something that i strongly suspect I have. I will be basing his experiences off of some of mine and some of Donnie’s, who also has Autism. Autism, otherwise known as ASD (autism spectrum disorder), is a developmental disorder, affecting the mind and how one behaves. I won’t be going in to the specifics of how it happens or works, and will now talk about common symptoms of it! - Empathy Problems Some people with autism struggle with empathy, either having very little empathy, or very strong amounts of empathy. I have the latter. — Shady will experience low empathy, making it hard for him to connect with others, or express his feelings. He will also struggle to feel bad for others. - Issues with Tone Some individuals struggle to tell the difference between other’s tones, or differentiate their own tone. — Shad will generally not be able to tell if someone is joking or not, all tones sounding the same to him. He will also speak in a monotone generally, often sounding sarcastic without even realizing it. - Difficulties Socializing Many individuals with autism dont pick up on social cues, making interacting with others a challenging task. — Shade will usually be unable to understand the conventions of interacting with others, unable to pick up the small cues that are used in most conversations. He will likely come across as ++
++ blunt or standoffish because of this, making it harder for him to gain friends. - Sensory Issues People with autism may struggle with the sensations of some objects touching them. Others may not be able to handle loud environments or some sounds. Some may not be able to handle certain colors or smells. Others cant deal with some tastes. — Shady will deal with being unable to handle loud sounds or certain textures against his paws, them making him feel horrible on the inside, causing him to avoid them at all costs. - Emotional Regulation Some people will struggle to deal with their emotions, either feeling them too strongly or barely feeling them at all. — Shaded will experience a mixture of these experiences. At times he’ll become so joyous that he can’t help but stim, flapping his paws or thumping his tail against the ground; or perhaps feeling so angry that he starts scratching herself or raking the ground. Other times he’ll struggle to find any emotions at all, even if he knows he’s supposed to be feeling something. - Stims and Meltdowns Lazy explanation but stims are basically movements or sounds that one makes. It’s really hard to explain them and why they happen haha. Meltdowns generally are caused by being overwhelmed, and can be set off by something small, like a daily routine changing slightly. — Shadykit will stim quite a bit, both vocally and physically, such as rocking when he’s uncomfortable or making chirping noises at random times. He will also occasionally experience meltdowns, causing him to lash out at those around him, or break down crying, etc. More often, however, he will experience shutdowns, where he’ll essentially become nonverbal and unavailable due to overstimulation. I might have missed a few things, but thats basically it! Shady also has ocular albinism! this one’s a lot simpler to explain haha - Lack of Pigment To grossly oversimplify this, albinism is caused by a lack of pigment. — This affects sha’s eyes, causing them to appear purple, also lightening the skin and fur around his eyes, which is what that white in the drawing is. - Myopia Ocular albinism affects the eyes far more than just making them look an unusual color. One of the side effects that can happen is myopia, or nearsightedness, which is something that I personally deal with myself. — Ade will have severe shortsightedness, causing things far away from him to appear incredibly blurry to him. As a kit, this will make him more likely to mistake cats as enemies, causing him to often attack random cats. As he grows older, he’ll learn to rely a bit more on his other senses to help him. He will do best work when fishing or fighting, as he can be closer to his target then, allowing him to see better. - Light sensitivity This one’s self explanatory. It’s another side effect from ocular albinism. It’s also something i deal with. — Shady will despise light, often going outside only when it’s on the darker side as to avoid it. It hurts his eyes and head. ✦•······················•✦•······················•✦ Trivia _______ - Hades adores the ocean, and is fascinated by it. - He likes sheep a lot. - He is chaotic neutral alignment wise - Shad probably would commit war crimes. Or regular crimes. Good thing he’s an Urchinclan baby. - Ash likes collecting sticks or shiny objects - His future voice claim is, who would have guessed, Donnatello from RotTmnt ✦•······················•✦•······················•✦ Harm Notes ____________ I generally dont take big risks in gens unless im confident things will be fine. Im also not one to kill off a character before adulthood, or giving them a litter. ✦•······················•✦•······················•✦ Credits _________ Designs by @-Goose-Fur- Art by @ me!
