placeholder art in the project by yours truly, Fika is indeed an oddly fluffy 10 meter long snake possessing three sets of legs source: trust me bro [/j] NOTE: Sincere apologies regarding how this is a bit over the due date (that being midnight iirc) :’] I was nearly finished with the application yesterday and was working on the roleplay example when I had to go to sleep(it was around midnight and my parents weren’t exactly pleased), and I woke up a bit early today to scramble to finish what was left of it and edit some things I didn’t like. I hope this isn’t crossing the line, though if this is merely counted as a for-fun, that’s alright. Again, I’m very sorry for crossing the deadline. - - - Fika /ˈfēkə/ noun (in Swedish custom) a break from activity during which people drink coffee, eat cakes or other light snacks, and relax with others. - - - i . about the roleplayer nickname - on both Scratch and most other offsite platforms I’m mainly known as Comet :] prns - as of current, I go by he/they pronouns! about me - Salutations! Call me Comet, your run-of-the-mill somewhat sentient flesh-being with a dim sense of consciousness that by some unseen miracle got hold of a couple of electronics and the internet B) my interests revolve primarily around reading, writing, video games, science, history, a bit of geopolitics, roleplaying (obviously lol), drawing, and learning in general! I have been in the Warriors fandom for around three or four years by now and I’ve recently had a bit of a renewed spark of interest for it, mostly by reading fanmade comics and watching warriors analysis videos lol. roleplaying experience - I have been roleplaying ever since about the time I’ve had this account(around 3 years and 10 months to be precise), and a fair amount of the massive pool of roleplays I’ve been in have been directly related to warriors or cats in general. As of current however the only active role plays I’m in are The Hunger Games Roleplay and I’ve been a part of it ever since Round five (in other words, since Dec. of 2021) and The Forgotten Northlands, something I hosted myself. [ https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/30053961/ ] THG [ https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/32043701/ ] TFN In more recent times however, I also have been invested in canine/dogfighting roleplays for quite some time and have even managed some of them. Some of the more notable examples are as follows: Despair’s Wrath [ ] Hearts of the Hollow [ studio deleted ] - this particular RP was a collab with two other people The Forgotten Northlands (OG) [ ] - this roleplay was one I hosted myself and remains to be the biggest RP I ever created to this date. Avarice [ ] … and more offsite roleplays I unfortunately cannot mention here. In general, my roleplay responses vary from filling 1-3 comments, though on some occasions such as an important event or dramatic scene I may bump up it to 4 to 6 comments a response. It’s also commonplace that I try to match the length of my responses with whatever the other roleplayer is doing, though it seldom dips below 400 characters. - - - ii . enter fikakit kit - I will be applying for fikakit! final gender and orientation - Fikakit’s final gender identity will turn out to be genderfaun and he will use any set of pronouns except she/her, and they’ll have a permanently unlabeled orientation. why I want the kit - As I mentioned prior, I’ve gotten a renewed interest for the Warrior cats fandom and I’d like to get back into roleplaying in a WC-based setting again; so what better place than TFCRP? It’s absolutely lore-ridden and Windclan in particular seems to be going through a quite interesting arc currently. Naturally, Fikakit would be easily caught in the midst of controversy and so I’d love to see how things go down in both his personal life and how he might cause ripples of something larger than himself. I’ve been reading event threads and it wasn’t long before I concluded that I’d love to not only read through the aforementioned strings of comments, but also to interact and affect them too. how long do I plan to keep the kit - I’d say I’d like to keep Fikakit for 40-50 moons at the very least, and at most I’d like to see him become either an ancient senior warrior too stubborn to retire or an elder and perhaps have a litter along the way. I seldom apply for kits (this is actually the first time I’ve legitimately applied for a litter as I often call it quits after a hint or two of consideration) nor do I go inactive on a whim often. past characters + ages - n/a, I’ve yet to have a character in TFCRP - - - iii . personality simplified personality - [+] iconoclastic, artful, independent [=] curious, impish, opportunistic [-] conceited, fickle, lazy detailed personality - See Comments - - - continued below
continued from above - - - iv . misc. research - Folded ears in cats are caused by a genetic mutation known as osteochondrodysplasia, a disorder of the abnormal development of the bones and cartilage. Cartilage has the important function of giving extra support to parts of the body where there aren’t bones, and also makes up the surfaces of joints hence allowing for smooth and painless movement. Individuals with this genetic defect suffer from arthritis, and heterozygous cats have less severe conditions/symptoms as those possessing two copies of the gene (as this is a biological litter and Ghost doesn’t have osteochondrodysplasia, I’m assuming Fikakit isn’t homozygous, though please correct me if I’m wrong!). These areas would be greatly affected and later on in life Fikakit would start experiencing pains whilst exerting themselves. During their elder years, their body might start shutting down and he. As they don’t have both genes and they’re not a purebred scottish fold(? again, please correct me if I jave mixed up the information), their symptoms would not be as severe as the average homozygous and/or purebred Scottish fold. sources - https://icatcare.org/advice/scottish-fold-disease-osteochondrodysplasia/ https://www.ufaw.org.uk/cats/scottish-fold-osteochondrodysplasia https://www.catster.com/cat-health-care/osteochondrodysplasia-in-cats rp example - The twilight hours were always so pleasant. The Western horizon held the setting sun- a warm golden circle sending streaks of light across the reddish-orange sky. So different it was from the unrelenting heat it offered during the day, when cats practically boiled under the sun. An azure blanket chased the dying light from the East, mottled with stars like the pelt of an ocelot. Fikakit yawned in content as they observed the celestial objects, strung so high and unreachable by any cat. Fika turned his head sideways in bafflement. So far away the stars were, impossible to touch and smell. The elders always rambled about Starclan inhabiting those stars and the warriors snorted and said the same, but the tiny kit didn’t buy it. How could they be small dots in the sky? And why could they only get out at might? So many questions, and it was the most frustrating thing in the world that seemingly everyone was keeping the answer /from/ him. The leopardlike tom swished his luxurious tail in slight irritation. And so he kept wondering. codewords - Pepsi, bananas, venus flytraps if they count lol - trivia - possible nicknames- Fika, Fifi, Fig/Figgy, Eka, etc. scent - petrichor favourite food - jackrabbits habits - twitching/swishing his tail even though he’s not nervous tendencies - hoarding interesting trinkets, attempting to use outlandish techniques when forced to train likes - food(he’s quite the glutton lol), daydreaming, relaxing dislikes - most variations of duty/obligation, menial tasks ---
