《 subterranean - an application for Terrakit 》 ╭┈───────〈 username 〉 ╰┈➤ @cavegoblin ╭┈───────〈 about you 〉 ╰┈➤ Lysander ☞ he/it/nie pronouns ╰┈➤ https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1288623621/ ╭┈───────〈 kit you're applying for + why 〉 ╰┈➤ Terrakit ╰┈➤ I was searching for "role play" on here and The Four Clans Role Play popped up as the first result. I want to join this role play and found this litter. Terrakit has an appealing design and name that matches my interest for caves. I decided to base my version of Terrakit on my favourite activity as well, mainly because of the name. Winning this kitten would also be a great opportunity to practice my art skills. ╭┈───────〈 personality 〉 ╰┈➤ adaptable ☞ Capable of adapting (of becoming or being made suitable) to a particular situation or use. ╰┈➤ enthusiastic ☞ Filled with enthusiasm; characterized by enthusiasm; zealous. ╰┈➤ athletic ☞ Characterized by or involving physical activity or exertion. ╰┈➤ reliable ☞ Suitable or fit to be relied on; worthy of dependance or reliance; trustworthy. ╰┈➤ childish ☞ Marked by or indicating a lack of maturity. ╰┈➤ strongwilled ☞ Having a determined will. ╰┈➤ graceless ☞ Having or exhibiting no sense of propriety or decency; clumsy. ╰┈➤ troublesome ☞ Characterized by or causing trouble or anxiety; difficult to deal with. ╭┈───────〈 future identity 〉 ╰┈➤ agender ☞ it/de/he pronouns ╰┈➤ omniromantic demisexual ╭┈───────〈 past characters 〉 ╰┈➤ I have no past characters and also no characters in different role plays except for my DnD characters. I have never done a role play here on scratch before. Hopefully this doesn't affect my chances of winning Terrakit... ╭┈───────〈 activity level 〉 ╰┈➤ Pretty active. I check scratch at least every three hours and that every day. I would roleplay Terrakit every day as well. Because I have never done a role play here on this site before I would explore the community and world of The Four Clans Role Play as Terrakit. I will draw him a lot to practise, too. Expect me to be rather active with Terrakit if I win. ╭┈───────〈 future plans and ideas (not in the original form) 〉 ╰┈➤ Terrakit becomes a medicine cat because the current one noticed its love for learning about this world and collecting everything he finds. ╰┈➤ Because of deir love of exploring Terrakit becomes a warrior or loner that wanders from clan to clan to learn about their cultures and ways. ╰┈➤ Poor Terrakit goes too far into a cave and is stuck there for a week. When it finally gets rescued, his personality changes. De is a bit paranoid. (Fun fact: this happened to me once! I was about 13 years old when me and my dad went into a rather big cave. However, I was only lost for some hours so no worries.) ╭┈───────〈 research 〉 ╰┈➤ Cats with polydactylism (greek; poly: many, dactyl: digit) such as Terrakit have extra toes on their paws. It mainly affects the front paws, but very rarely it can be found in the hind paws too. The number of extra toes can vary from 1 extra toe up to 4 or more; the current cats with the world's most toes are named Jake (from Canada) and Paws (from the US). They both have 28 toes in total while normal cats have 18 toes, meaning both affected cats have 10 extra toes each. Cats with polydactylism are mostly found along the east coast of North America and in Western England, what still originates from the fact that polydactyl cats were popular companions of sailors. They believed that the cat's extra toes brought good luck. This isn't really the case for the affected cat itself. While polydactylism isn't a highly dangerous or even deadly issue it still causes some problems. They are prone to injuries and dirt and other debris can settle down between the affected cat's toes, possibly causing infections. The claws that a polydactyl cat grows often fail to wear down naturally what results in long claws and potentional harm to the cat. If that happens it is recommended to trim them manually. Since Terrakit doesn't have a vet nearby he'll claw at stones to trim them. Other than that, polydactylism doesn't cause any further health problems aside from the ones of an un affected cat. Terrakit is able to live as long as every other cat, it just has to keep his claws from getting too long. As an additional fact the extra toes a polydactyl cat has gives them better dexterity and balance, what enhances their climbing and jumping skills. This is very important for Terrakit because it loves to explore. ╰┈➤ sources (3/10/26) ☞ Wikipedia, International Cat Care and PetMD ╭┈───────〈 other 〉 ╰┈➤ If he ever has kits, they will be named Stalagmitekit and Stalactitekit. ╰┈➤ codeword ☞ While I was writing this there was a storm outside.
