:bulletgreen::bulletyellow::bulletgreen:Personality:bulletgreen::bulletyellow::bulletgreen:

[Postive]
Patient//Honest//Selfless//Caring
At his best, Shun can be incredibly kind and fair. Though he may not always be forward about his concern for others, those who get to know him will be aware of his protectiveness. Shun doesn't actively seek out new company, but rather appreciate those already with him. He is very truthful to friends, family, and temple-mates, but of course he has to curb that while he's out doing spy missions. As a necessity for his work, Shun is incredibly patient when it comes to staking-out an area or stalking an enemy. Long hours in solitude doing nothing but waiting doesn't phase him, but that patience may not always transfer over to social situations.

[Neutral]
Serious//Stoic//Private//Decisive
Shun, though very well meaning, tends to be rather distant towards those he doesn't know. He doesn't typically share things about himself to others unless he's completely comfortable around them. This private attitude also contributes to his stoicism. His expression (or lack thereof) coupled with his serious disposition makes it difficult for him to express his feelings. However, it also allows him to appear calm and cool-headed during tough situations, which could help embolden others. In addition, he can be very quick to make rational decisions, especially when under pressure.

[Negative]
Blunt//Irritable//Rigid//Dogmatic
At his worst, Shun comes off as insensitive and strict. At times it can be difficult for him to tolerate other cats, especially those who come off as clingy. Though he may not express it, Shun can and periodically does get annoyed with others. He likes to keep things straightforward and simple when speaking, and the bluntness can come off terribly when criticizing others. When it comes to his own convictions, he's unwavering. Though he may not be totally stubborn, he doesn't jump at the opportunity to compromise. This can make it hard for him to work with cats he disagrees with, especially if the disputed issue is about principles and convictions.


:bulletgreen::bulletyellow::bulletgreen:Personal:bulletgreen::bulletyellow::bulletgreen:

Family: 

Father (deceased?) -- Xu // 许

When Shun was still an adolescent his father Xu, a voyager, went out on a typical outing to collect herbs with other voyagers. The group was attacked by an alligator while harvesting herbs close to a river bank, and of those taken was Xu. There are mixed accounts by those who survived. Some say Xu got dragged down to the water, resurfaced on the opposite shore, and fled into the wilds. Others say that when the alligator dragged Xu in the water, he never resurfaced.

Mother (???) -- Bì // 
Bì never believed the accounts that her mate was dead. "If there's no body, there's no proof" she would tell them. As a healer she was not permitted to leave the temple, but her need for closure was stronger than temple rules. In the night she snuck past the temple guardians and into the wilds in search of the river where her mate may be. With no knowledge of the outside, and no one able to locate her, she is assumed to be dead by now.

Brother (alive/open for RPer) -- Tao // 
Those who know Tao and Shun will say that they switched places in terms of position. Tao, unlike Shun, is very nosy and mischievous. A personality better suited as a Spy rather than a Guardian (which he is). Despite the seemingly off-tone personality, Tao like Shun, is quite good at what he does regardless. These days the brothers don't speak much. Though they tend to place the blame on their positions, perhaps the real reason is the pain of being reminded of their deceased parents.

Sister (alive/open for RPer) -- Zhu // 兰 
Younger sister from a separate litter. She's just nearly reaching adolescence. Shun hasn't seen or spoken with her since their mother wandered off. 

Likes: 
  • Soft foods
  • Low light
  • Warm places
Dislikes: 
  • Loud noises
  • Foul smells
  • Being mistaken as being mean/upset all the time

Fun facts: 
  • Despite his seemingly permanent grouch face, he is a sweetie.
  • When frustrated, he'll stamp his paws.
  • Rumor has it that he never smiled in his life.
  • He is very observant.
  • His line of reasoning tends to be very inductive.
  • Acutely aware of natural processes and can make reasonings from them. (i.e. "This rock face must not be stable because I can see a pile of rocks from it down below." )

Sexual Information:


Orientation: Heterosexual
Preference: Sweet, kind, and feminine cats. A cat perceptive/empathetic enough to unlock his softer side is an added bonus.
Looking for: Relationship (short or long term) and may be persuaded into committing to a mate.


:bulletgreen::bulletyellow::bulletgreen:History:bulletgreen::bulletyellow::bulletgreen:

Kithood
Since day 1, Shun had always been tussling with his brother Tao. Surprisingly they were both about equal size as kits, and with it came a constant struggle to be the dominant kit in the litter. Shun would constantly get into trouble for tussling with his brother. Not because he won the fights, but because Tao played the victim so well whenever their mother looked over. In one instant, Tao broke another (older) cat's talisman when play fighting with Shun. He quickly left the scene, and left Shun to take the blame. After that instance Shun had been perceived by many temple cats for being a trouble maker.

Adolescence
Not too long into his Adolescence, Shun's sister Zhu was born. As much as he would have liked to spend time with her, he was far too devoted to his studies as a Worshiper. That was until his father was killed while out doing his duties as a Voyager. His mind wasn't as focused as before, and his studies began to suffer. When his mother went missing too long after, he had nothing else to do but completely withdraw into his studies. With his small notoriety as a kit coupled with his new found passiveness, he was set on the path of the Spy. He took quite a liking to it, and again completely devoted himself to his studies. Not just out of passion, but also as an escape from thinking about his parents and their fates. He strayed from his siblings also, last he heard his brother Tao was becoming a Guardian.

Adulthood

Now a fully fledged spy, Shun does whatever task is asked of him. He is still young and relatively new to the lifestyle of a spy, so he has a lot of time to gain experience. When he does spend time at the temple, he tends to keep the interactions with his remaining family short. This isn't out of resent, but more out of regret for not keeping in contact with them at all for the past several moons. He wishes to keep a relationship with them, but he isn't sure how.


:bulletgreen::bulletyellow::bulletgreen:Roleplay:bulletgreen::bulletyellow::bulletgreen:

Examples:
[Two old tumblr RPs I found drafts for on my PC. I forget the blog name, but I played as a valravn]

  Perched on the cemetery gates was the valravn. For a creature so unholy

     and foul, this place was the most fitting to roost for the night. And what better

     place to find new prey too! Mourners tended to be the best. It was fun to have

     them think that he was the grim reaper or some psychopomp of the sort. People

     tended to believe just about anything when around a talking raven. 

             As his eyes were about to flutter shut he heard a noise. He looked down

     to find a woman. She was much more pallid than he recalled humans being,

     and something about her just hinted at some form of instability. Since he was

     already awake now, he decided to humor himself until he grew tired once more.

You look troubled.

---

             Thankfully, quick reflexes made up for the bird’s disregard of the advice.

     All it took was a quick leap back to avoid the electric death. He was not sure

     if his feathers were raised out of sudden fear or the effects of the proximity,

     but he was glad that he had retained his instincts to run from danger. If not

     for that, he would have been very very dead.

Damn it all! You should have given me a better warning than that!”

             He took a single, vigorous breath with the intent to calm himself.

“—Pardon my outburst.”

That was… rather impressive.”
