Username: @sheepi- Kit you’re applying for: I’ll be applying for the amazing Goldfishkit! :D Kit’s final gender: Bigender (he/him, she/her) Kit’s final sexuality: pansexual homoflexible(?) (basically she may be attracted to anyone, but if they are either fem or masc aligning, he is likely to feel more aligned towards whatever gender they are while interacting with them if that makes sense xD-) Personality: Will be done in the comments ^^ Why do I want this kit? First, of course, is the design. I just absolutely love his design and the color palette and just everything aaa- usually I don’t draw eyelashes with my characters either, but with Goldfishkit I couldn’t help but add them :D her eyes are really pretty too and I basically like everything about him, from that extra “fin” on his back to of course being an adorable munchkin. I also have found myself rather unsatisfied with my current character, Belovedhawk, and I would like to start fresh, and considering the amount of litters open at the moment, I think now would be the best time to. Roleplaying experience: I’d say I have a pretty good amount of roleplaying experience. I first learned of the concept about 5 years ago on a video game, and since then it quickly became a hobby. I’ve been rping on scratch for over two years in various smaller rps, although I didn’t join tfcrp until early 2021. I’ve had three characters on tfcrp so far. Character longevity: I’d say the average time I keep my tfcrp characters would be about 30 moons, or over half a year. My first character, Jaystorm, lived for about 28 moons before dying due to the fact that almost all his family died and he was pretty depressed, so I ended up giving up on him. My second character, Ashpaw, died just before coming a warrior for reasons I’d rather not mention. However, my 3rd and current character, Belovedhawk, is 46 moons as of writing. So it is guaranteed I will keep Goldfishkit for at least 30 moons old, however, I plan on keep her much longer :D Current TFCRP character: My current character is Belovedhawk of ThunderClan! Other contact sites: At the moment, I don’t have any other sites besides scratch I could be reached on. Research: I put the links in the notes in credits because I like to be organized like that xD- Munchkin: Having a heterozygous munchkin gene causes the affected kit to have abnormally short legs. Being a munchkin cat really would only limit Goldfishkit’s ability to jump, and he would otherwise be quite quick and agile at ground level. However, this does put her at risk for bone, limb, and spinal diseases, and as he grows older, he will likely begin to develop things like Osteoarthritis (which I’ll do deeper research into when the time comes), become sore after hunts or exercises, and likely have to retire to the elders den sooner than usual because of that. At a young age though, other than being very short, only his ability to jump would be limited. In fact, having smaller legs will make Goldfishkit more nimble and agile than your average cat. Interestingly, being homozygous with two copies of the “lethal” munchkin gene causes a cat to die before they’re born. Their legs are just too short for the world I guess- anyways there’s your fun fact for the day xD Kleptomania: From an early age, Goldfishkit would develop kleptomania. She will have a strong, irresistible urge to steal things, not necessarily for his benefit, but because it makes him feel a surge of pleasure or relief with each thing stolen. It would be very hard, basically impossible, for him to resist to take something. Usually it’s just random yet specific things- an odd mouse from the prey pile, a springy thread of moss from another nest, or a flower crown right off a cat’s head. With her personality, Goldfishkit will likely deny it if caught stealing and run away with her findings. However, he does often feel guilty after the initial excitement had faded and will, after stashing the object away for a while, “gift” it back to whoever she stole it from. He may also end up stealing more frequently when stressed as a coping mechanism. (Note Goldfishkit will /not/ steal everything and anything she sees. Only a few select items- usually the possessions of others, no matter their worth, tend to trigger his impulse. If you have any questions on this feel free to ask me :0) About me: Hi! I’m Sheep, your pretty average quiet kid. I like gaming, drawing, arting, and of course rping. I have two cats and an axolotl! My current obsession is Centaurworld (go watch it now!!) I also play soccer and basketball. Chances of inactivity: The chances of me going inactive or leaving scratch are very low! I currently don’t plan on leaving scratch anytime soon. I haven’t gone completely inactive for more than a week in the past few years; there have been times where my activity drops for a bit due to for example testing or a vacation, but I’ll always notify someone beforehand. Roleplay examples will be done in comments!
