[ yes , i know this should be closed , but the status is still open so just in case :D ] howdy hey ! my name is bug and i use they / he / she pronouns . my character's name is bee-balmkit , and he uses he / him pronouns . he's currently an un-found kit and will be found on this coming saturday . i'm rather active -- so out of 10 , i would rate myself a 7.5 / 10 . i check on every week day . if anything prevents me from coming online , it's my very traditional family , and i do a lot of things . sports , instruments , etc . i'm extremely interested , so i would rate my interest an 8 / 10 . i would rate bee-balmkit's interest a 7 / 10 . bee-balmkit believes he needs a shot at redemption -- beeb's backstory , before he was found , has him being kicked out from his family due to swearing upon the river styx , which is a promise you cannot break , or else something terrible would happen to you , and failing to upkeep his promise . as medicine cats generally have a connection with starclan , beeb thinks becoming a medicine cat could potentially bring him closer to what he believes in , [ he believes in a cat-version of greek mythology ] and possibly find a way to redeem himself from his past mistakes . beeb is quite aware that he can't feel emotions -- so if surrounding himself around cats who do -- who get hurt , who need help -- maybe he too could feel something . bee-balmkit hopes he can embark on a journey of self-discovery and explore his own limitations and strengths . while bee-balmkit may not experience emotions in the same way others do , he still seeks a sense of purpose and belonging within his clan . becoming a medicine cat could provide him with a defined role and a way to contribute to the community . beeb also prioritizes his own survival and well-being above all else . by becoming a medicine cat , he can acquire valuable knowledge and skills that can help him maintain his own health and longevity . this self-centered motivation drives him to pursue the path of a medicine cat . HOW WOULD BEE-BALM ACT AS A MCA ; bee-bee's unique perspective of not being swayed by emotions could provide him with a strategic advantage as a medicine cat . he might be able to make impartial decisions and approach medical situations with a level-headedness that others might struggle to maintain . this detached perspective could enable him to make rational choices in high-pressure situations , potentially saving lives or mitigating risks . bee-balmkit sees the role of a medicine cat as a complex and intellectually stimulating endeavor . the intricacies of diagnosing illnesses , researching herbs , and developing treatment plans appeals to his analytical nature . he's driven by the desire to master the art of medicine and excel in a field that requires sharp observation and logical thinking . i'd like beeb to be a medicine cat apprentice because i've never roleplayed one and i was always fascinated by them haha -- i also think it would be a great experience for me !!
