Player, again, isn't very active atm. Will put Kush around the forest time to time, don't excpet any fancy updates anytime soon ;;.

•8/03/16•

Player isn't too active at the moment, getting close to the first semester of college and is pretty tied up with work and being prepared.

Lazed around these past few days, often trekking to Rajani's tree to check on and sit with her. Enjoys seeing the young doe grow now, has a deep place in his heart. His summer coat is about at it's thinnest point right now, and he's lost a pretty good amount of weight from the heat.

Last evening curled up around a small patch of stones to watch the sun set. Kuwaka later came to snuggle and groom, hadn't seen the lion in a while, missed his friend's company. Today, had a sudden mood change and was realitively mood/grumpy. Wasn't having any of that. Basically forced himself out of a big birch tree, then walked to Rajani's tree to try and cheer himself up a bit. Found the snoozing doe and plopped himself next to her.

•7/14/16•

Was gifted a fish from Rajani yesterday. Felt a overwhelming sense of gratitude towards the young doe, nuzzled the doe in appreciation then picked up his meal and headed towards his tree to sit and think. A common thing that the big cat has been doing to relieve and not feel the 'other' thoughts that often get inside the cat's head. Thought about the nice and enjoyably memories that he had with Rajani and watched her grow up, felt some sense of happiness until he fell asleep with the remains of a fish very nearby.

Today, found a snoozing Rajani and Kuwaka close by. Nuzzled the sleeping doe then cuddled up with the lion to groom and greet him. Felt a 'different' environment with the Sunshine today, couldn't put his mind on it so just snuggled and groomed his mane for quite some time. Departed a while later to cool off at the pond, and fish. Did just that and caught a couple of medium sized fish, enjoyed his food. Noticed that there were two others in the middle of the pond (Rooh and Aileana, an unfamiliar face to the cougar.) Sniffed ad greeted Rooh while promptly glanced and nodded at the other's presence. Wasn't too excited to sit in the murky water, but bared through it and sat with Rooh.

A while later left and went to find Leola. Found her with a familiar faced Asura, sniffed and nodded at. Shifted his way near Leola and plopped himself down. Didn't stay too long, found Rajani and Sloane again to 'bond.' Was happy for most of the afternoon, Hirouji joined, nodded at the young stag but didn't bring too much attention to him. Caught a scent of a very well known aura close by (Skellr) and went his way to greet the kitsune. The big cat was a very, radiant cougar for most of the evening, content he got to see his old familiar once more. Felt the urge to leave when the evening continued, gave Skellr a kind nuzzle before he climbed in a big birch tree, and slept.

•7/08/16•

Woke up early in the morning to catch his meal (a few birds and a rabbit), feeling particularly hungry. Managed to eat everything he caught and left few remains of the carcasses, discarded the remains in a small hole he dug. After he had eaten, the cougar climbed a big birch tree to relax for a while, felt like he deserved it. He watched a few go past the tree without even a glance up to where he was sitting, his mood changed a little bit and thought no one bothered to notice him, he felt like he was nothing. The drastic emotional turn had him thinking for quite a while up in the tree, what his self worth was really meant to him.

Decided not to loath himself and feel sorry, so went to Rajani's tree and spent the relaxing afternoon with her. Managed to nuzzle and settle himself close to the young doe before he decided to go off on his own again to do some more thinking. This time near the Playground rocks, ontop a smaller rock at the bottom of a hill. The big cat sat there for a few moments when a huge white monster (Windiga) arrived and put himself infront of the cougar.

Surely was shocked of the large white monster, and was even more when it kissed the puma, patted him, then looked at him strangely. Decided to say sniff the monster, and say, "Hello.." before the monster thought he was hostile and attacked him (in Kushal's mind.) Was even more surprised to hear him speak, "I Windiga," he said with a smile in a little girl's voice. He thought the monster had eaten a child and stole it's voice, but didn't dare speak it. Determined to just say his name back, widened his eyes and spoke back, "I am Kushal, you live here?" asking incase the monster confronted him to get the cat off his territory. He answered the big cat's question with a long stare, making him shift his paws around once or twice with anxiousness. Then finally spoke, "Here but not here." Motions towards playground rocks. "Yo a pretty! Pretty kitty. Soft." Petted the cougar more, and the cat grew grumpy and nervous under the monster's touch. He did not enjoy it so well. "I see, glad I'm not intruding on your territory," gives a little nervous chuckle. "Pretty kitty can bite if you pull my hair," Kushal says in a passive aggressive tone, hoping he would get the picture. Instead, Windiga responded with a head tilt,"I pet! Gentle! I am good. Friend." As he began to pet the elder warrior more gentle. Decided he would just give up trying to stop the monster from petting him, flicked his tail around a bit, "Mmm, don't pet too much, I don't like it," settles back down on the rock, hoping he would stop then. Windiga blinked rapidly, then spoke, "Do not like? Why?" Pulls his hand back and just stares down at now. The cougar silently thanking any 'god' that was listening. Purps at, "I am old, I get cranky," tries his best to explain to the child-voiced monster. "I am old, too." The monster smiles, giving the cat a shake with the teeth that he managed to glance at. Didn't say anything after that, just flicked is tail around on the rock suspiciously looking at the large white monster infront of him, until he later left.

The cat then too left from the rock and climbed up a big birch tree to snooze, being lazy as usual and not washing off.

Spoke with Circe a few days ago, was glad to see his friend that had grown from the last time he saw her. Asked her how she was doing, got an answer that he was a little unsure of. Had a discussion which inclded both of the feline's feeling towards the forest, and everyone else, shared some much similar feelings. The big cat was surprised to see that Circe had felt that way.

Later, a familiar kinfolk of Circe joined the two ('Deus), was pretty much content on his arrival. Then Ronra also arrived, nodded towards her as well. He himself left the three after a while, and went atop Red Hill to snooze. Also to think about the words said between himself and his friend.



--------
•6/26/16•

Received some mountain goat meat from Kuwaka the other day, adores the lion for his generosity, respects him on all levels (9/10 has a crush on rofl.) Kinda helped him find his son (Cillian) who became lost in the Playgrounds when he wandered off. Nodded towards Z'ev, Jhorla, and nuzzled Rajani when the three returned to sit close by.

Has been sitting by Rajani a few times in the past few days, all the while enjoying the young doe's company.

Mostly slept and soaked in the pond a few times today, more lazy than usual.


-----
•6/16/16•

Kush is confused about his social placement, he needs assitance asap.

lmao, will update later but probably never will


-------
•6/06/16•

Delighted to have seen Shelby, a wolf pup, that he had previously watched over return to the Forest. More than glad to have been visited by the pup more than once.

Today mozied around the birch forest before going to Rajani's tree to greet the young doe, though found Lobo and Rajani snoozing together. Decided to sit next to the two, not really wanting to disturb.
Departed from the two after a while, and went to sit in a sunny patch in the birch forest. Not long after that was greeted by Kuwaka, was pounced on by the big lion. Struggled free and started running around The Sunshine and jumping around. Then settled back down and the two started flirting around a bit and doing some grooming. The cougar was enjoying the moment with his friend and very much showed it.

A human faced deer (Tig), that he had seen many times before joined Kuwaka and Kushal after a while. Kushal didn't seem to like it too much and stared a bit at the cevrine when Kuwaka started grooming him. Though got over it after a few moments and went back to purring. After a couple of hours, Kuwaka surprised the cougar with a bit of deer jerky from his mane, happily accepted it and said thanks to the Sunshine, greatly appreciated the gift.

Then exploded into a conversation about worlds and Kuwaka's son, which player is too lazy to post x_x.

------
•5/28/16•

Slept and has been lazy for the past few days, feeling increasingly inactive as the days grow hotter and the night particularly cold for the big cat. Though today went to soak and pee in the pond, spent a few moments there but left to find Rajani.

Found the young doe next to Jacquelyn, nodded towards the canine and sat on a tree root. Not long after that, Kaala appeared and sat down next to the big cat. Surprised, the cat bounced up and greeted his old friend. Guided him away from Rajani and Jacquelyn, not wanting to disturb the two with the ruinon. Ran and chased playfully at him, very glad to see one of the first he met in the Forest. Absolutely missed the canine's presence, longed to have someone fairly close visit his old soul. Settled infront of Kaala after a few minutes of chasing, nuzzled him a fair amount of times before the canine left. A familiar feeling of loneliness stabbed at the cat's heart, and soon padded off to sit alone next to a birch tree.

Italia joined him next to his tree a while later, shifted from the tree next to her. Appreciated the young feline's company, but felt rather saddened after the female left. Stalked to a sunny splotch on the edges the birch forest to snooze for the evening, feeling quite grumpy all of a sudden.



------
•5/18/16•

Spent the morning moping and trying to catch something to fill his hunger, since he had not eaten in a couple days caused by a particular mood swing. Had felt horrible, slept in the dampest parts of the forest, not wanting any attention or comfort. Finally got over it after he learned that this is his home now, and he had every basic necessity at arm's reach.

Sat on Red Hill for a while, taking in everything around him until the sun started becoming too warm, so went over to the pond to cool off and drink. While the big cat was there, noticed Rooh and a female horned-cheetah (Ridera) that he'd never saw before, next to her close to a log. Sniffed and nodded at Rooh before doing the same with the horned cheetah, seemed like Rooh felt comfortable enough around the other big cat. Settled himself on the the side of the log, not long after that, noticed a tiger cub (Zeljana) drinking from the pond not too far away. When they came closer, nodded at and gestured for them to join the three. Played with the cub until the he decided to ask, "You 'ave name?." The cub, purring, responded, "Zeljana," and gave a slight smile towards the older cat. Nodded at, a little surprised that she understood him, and responded, most did not understand the 'common' language that was shared here. "Am Kushal," he said with a huff towards the cub. She stood up and moved closer the the cougar, "I like that name." She later departed from the male and left him with Rooh and the horned-cheetah. The horned-cheetah also left, while a familiar feline (Vodka) joined. Warily nodded at the other feline while he settled himself down again. Sat with the group for quite some time before leaving to have some time by himself.

Slept next to a rock, then ivy got lazy and didn't want to write anymore details rip.

•5/16/16• Crying, muse is is not cooperating properly. Pls............ (Added art by jalawhey and kicy3.)

First started off in the Birch Forest just roaming around for food, not really trying to hunt or catch anything. Some emotional stuff washed over him and he started becoming more and more miserable to the point where he had to sit down to rest. Thinking that he was ill, he curled up and slept for most of the day. Not doing very well these past few days mentally, he feels empty and in a way lost. In a sense, homesick a bit, even though he had lived in the forest for over a year now.

Woke up, hungry and thirsty considerably. Trotted towards the pond to drink and quench his thirst, simply ignoring his hunger. Went back to the banks and found a familiar looking creature (Rooh), sniffed and nodded towards before the child ran off towards the opposite side. Confused, shrugged off the action and found Akos also near the pond's banks. Nodded at the teenager and settled near him, hoping not to disturb anything. Later, three others came to sit close to the cat and the cervine (Reiji, Refr, and another who's picto I couldn't make on the map ;;.) Felt a little timid around them but didn't say or show it, except for a few tail swishes and glances. Sat with Akos for quite a while until that similar feeling popped into his head again, roamed off and settled into a little low spot near the Playgrounds.

Huffed uncomfortably around the tree he curled around, the feeling in his head like an ice pick. Felt awful, growling and snarling at any bird sound that dared to chirp around. Absolutely did not like this empty, stabbing feeling.

--------
•5/11/16• Crying, muse is is not cooperating properly. Pls

Scented Rajani not very far from where he had caught a bird earlier in the day. Went over to greet and nuzzle the young doe, mesmerized by how much the cervine had grown. Sniffed to check to see if she was alright, and settled down next to her, glad that he could spend some time with the doe (forest hasn't been working properly for player ;;.)


--------
•5/07/16•

Took to himself for most of the day. Didn't particularly have a reason for being engrossed, though mood swings played it's part. Grumbled to himself as he went out to catch a meal, wishing he had someone to hunt for him so he wouldn't have to get up. Later, returned to a tree to eat his catch and then sleep. Though that didn't work out as he became relatively thirsty, got up once again grumbling to himself as he made his way to the pond.

Drank and bathed in the pond until he was satisfied, then began his way beck to the birch forest. Was sopped short when he noticed a young stag/deer that he kind of recognized (Ákos.) Curious, sniffed and kind of half nodded to the grumpy looking teen, and settled down with him. Not really knowing how the cervine will react. Sat with him for quite some time (old grumpy and young grumpy) until the male left, then Kush eventually got up and left to bask in a sunny spot in the birch forest.

Mood changed around a little bit, glad that he could be of some-what company to the teenager, not completely sure that he even enjoyed the feline's presence.

-------
•4/27/16•

Spent most of the day napping on Red Hill. Not wanting to disturb anything or anyone. Expierencing moodswings pretty harshly.

Later a female cheetah came and sat (Nila), tolerated her and nodded. Sasuda came mmmm

-----
•4/23/16• - •4/24/16•

Decided to venture out of the forest last night to try and find something 'bigger' to eat since his main diet in the forest consisted of rabbits and small birds. He chased down three beavers, and devoured each one generously. And with a satisfied stomach, he decided to head back to the forest. Though before doing so, the cat had smelled another scent close to the water where he had previously caught the beavers. Looked around for a bit until he found human items close to the water. Inspected everything thoroughly, then the cat to take a child's play toy back floating in the water, back to the siblings (Raoul and Leola), he thought it'd be a good tool for them to learn an aspect of hunting.

Returned to the Forest a few hours later with a full stomach and a wooden carving of a rabbit in his jaws. The cat couldn't seem to find the siblings, roamed around the entire forest for what it seemed like hours, but couldn't find the two. He was already near the Playgrounds when he decided to end his searching, and spotted Basir with a black and white fawn (Sasuda) sitting rather close to him. Padded up next to the fawn and the manticore, and settled himself. Though he didn't stay too long because he felt somewhat intruding with his presence. Said his goodbyes to The Ereld, grabbed the wooden rabbit, and left to start searching for the siblings once more.

Eventually found the sitting next to each other near a large birch tree, player totally forgot about the carving until Raoul had left : (. Though just gave Leola the rabbit in the hopes that she would share with her brother. Attempted to tell her about her practicing hunting with it, but she seemed to not understand. Practiced a demonstration with a stone to see if she would then. Settled next to her soon after that, but left shortly to find a tree to curl up in.

mORE about today in a minute

--------
•4/16/16•

Hunted and killed a couple of birds to take to Rajani yesterday evening, dropped them off at her den with a huff and left to snooze. Didn't want to disturb the young doe.

This morning soaked in the Pond for a little while, trying to shed off some of the winter fur. As the temperature in the forest increases the more the cat is nonchalant and not moving as much. Left the pond to catch his meal, and take a nap.

Later in the evening, found Leola and an unfamiliar face accompanied with her (Tenn.) Sniffed around them, particulary curious about their strange appearance. Ultimately bowed and was polite, though unclear of what their motive was to be around Leola. Friendliness the cat assumed. Ran and leaped around with the two, shocked that this Cervid creature could run abnormally fast. He became tired and decided to sit next a tree, a little pleased that both Leola and Tenn sat with him. Nodded and rubbed his scent on the tree, something he wouldn't usually do, and settled.

Left a little later to rest, climbed up a big birch tree and went to sleep.


----------
•4/08/16• (Need to do relations and huge update, please scroll all the way to read.)

Woke up ontop of a birch tree on Red Hill, slowly rose from the branch and hopped down to hunt. He padded around the birch forest a little bit, and surprisingly, caught three rabbits and a couple of songbirds. Took his catch back to Red Hill to devour, and did so pleasantly. Left the remains to find a shady place to sit. Found a place inbetween a big birch tree and a birch tree close to each other. Didn't notice that a child of lion and deer (Shikha) was settled right next to the big birch tree, and Shardul came over to check on her. Apologized for the ordeal and settled back down, feeling alright that he'd joined. A horned cat later joined (Maddox) and they settled on the other side of the birch tree. Greeted them hesitantly, unaware of their bidding's. Friendlyness? Curious of the horned cat, scooted closer to them.

Left to join Rajani after a few hours of sitting, nodded to Shadul, Shikha, and Maddox before he left. Greeted Rajani and nuzzled the young doe, he caught a feint whiff of pheromones surprisingly. Though realized that the young doe was reaching adult hood, and growing up. Sat with her until the sun started warming up, and left to find somewhere cool. Nuzzled Rajani goodbye.

Found the shaded spot where he was earlier, and Maddox was still settled next to the birch tree. Greeted them with a bow and a nod, then sat on the other side of the tree. Leola joined a while latter, unsure of what the horned cat would do he encouraged the adolescent to follow him. Reluctant that she greeted the other horned cat, and he greeted her back. Nodded towards Maddox, and left with Leola hopping behind. Brought the dragonic feline to a tree, they both jumped around a little bit and then the cat proceeded to rub on the birch tree. Pleased that the adolescent copied him and said, "Yes, good," to the child. Settled down.

Maddox joined them a few moments after, to the cat's surprise, again. Greeted him, again. Monroe joined too, jumped around with them, roughhoused a bit, then a face that wasn't familiar (ughh couldn't find their picto on the map, had a beluga mask on, mini spell, and grey pelt.) Bowed, nodded, ect. Cat started getting a bit overwhelmed with the group that was starting to form, so sat down. Blithe that they followed his lead. A human-faced cervine joined to greet Monroe, wasn't interested so gave some distant nods and just went where Maddox was sitting. Leola and the beluga masked seemed not to stay around, and joined Kushal and Maddox. (fuck i started getting lazy and half assed most of this updat, repeated a lot of shit ;;.)

•4/07/16•

Has been keeping mostly to himself for the past few days, excluding some visits to Circe and Rajani. Not overall emotional or angry, just feels the need to stay out of drama that doesn't include him. So, has been spending most of his time hunting or dozing in the birch trees that are close to the fountain. Or lays around on Red Hill, has taken a fond liking to the hill.

Today, sat with Rajani in an obvious good mood; the little fawn that he's knows for months is growing up into a young doe. Didn't share any of his thoughts or exclaims, but was basically exuberant in his mind.

----------
•3/30/16• - •4/01/16• *Note- added some info in Identity section, and remind to get him new CSS.

*Found Leola in the afternoon and proceeded to play around with the smol one, messed around with some pinecone magic that the big cat himself wasn't aware of. Utterly dumbfounded of the magic and just went on with it. Signaled for Leola to follow him to the birch forest after a while, found a birch tree and sat next to it with her.
*Jacquelyn later arrived unexpectedly. The child seemed to know the canine well and played around with her, was fine with it and joined in after a few moments. Akos joined in too a while later when they were all settled down, was fine with that too. Left when the sun was low to find another birch tree to snooze in, exhausted from all the rambunctious play.
*In the morning woke up from the top of a birch tree to hunt and cool off in the pond. Has a successful hunt with two rabbits and a few finches. After the meal the cat left the birch forest to gladly wash in the pond. Went back into the birch forest reluctantly and found Circe snoozing on a large rock. Another cervine/feline joined in (Shala) and snoozed right next to Circe. Confused about most of the matter but didn't say anything.
*Nikhil, Shardul, and two other children were with the adults when they arrived (Lekhasa and Sorcha) greeted Shardul and Nikhil but didn't bother to get up and play with Nikhil and the children. Umay later joined and greeted the lioness too, but later left with a wary glance towards the female.
*Joined Leola, Akos, and Lobo when the cat arrived, purring, he sat down with Leola.

---------
•3/27/16•
Too lazy to actually do proper updates so I'll just do bullet points!!!111

*Found and sat with Leola next to the stream banks, near the trunk of a tree. Felt pleased with the adolescent's presence and a sense of pride that he's sitting with her.
*Later left and said silent goodbye's to, went to go hunt and search for a home.
*Next day Circe had returned and went to 'welcome' the other feline back and give some nuzzles, v happy that his friend didn't disappear.
*Settled with Circe a few more times off and on until he came upon her around the big rocks, greeted her and was told that there were family issues occurring just a few feet above them. Ronra eventually joined and greeted the lioness too, haven't seen the lioness' in just as long.
*Later left to sleep and actually cover his scent on a tree for once.
*Was approached by a female human faced cervine (Sabel), a male human faced cervine (Sadiki), and a squirrel (Rose) Hesitantly greeted the two cervines with a sniff and a bow, was offered to come sit with them but declined, didn't want to stink up their spot with his intruding pheromones. Was a little shooken up when the squirrel came too close, growled and lowered ram horns at, not really wanting a squirrel chattering around. The squirrel padded off and he turned his back, then to his surprise the rodent had turned into a doe. A familiar feeling washed over the cat as glanced at her face, didn't give any time to talk, so walked off Red Hill and climbed up a birch tree. Grumpy growling as he scratched up the bark.
*Eventually came down from a bitter nap back to Red Hill.

wow im so bad at details and i don't think i got half of these events right pls shoot me

•3/22/16• - •3/23/16•

Wandered around the birch forest for a while, trying to lose some extra weight that he had stored on for the winter. Looked around to try and find a new place to settle down and call 'home', since his other tree was "taken" from him a few months ago. Visited Rajani, Lobo, Sloane, and new face named Akos a few days prior. Gave them sniffs to see if they were alright and nodded along, particularly was curious about Akos' eyes that seemed to be unfocused and blank. Didn't say anything but made a quick assumption that the older fawn was blind.

Anyways, made his way through the forest when he eyes caught on a 'v pretty' feline (Sealink) sitting near the rocks. (Had already met Sealink once before but briefly.) Greeted the feline with a few sniffs and a couple of nods, glad that the feline wasn't overly wary about the two adolescents that were sitted close to her (Leola, and Raoul), gave them both sniffs and nods, admired her content around the children. Settled down for little bit next to some rocks, when a male canine(?) (Monroe) came around. Sniffed around him and gave a nod, the settled back to the rocks with Sealink, Raoul, and Leola.

Kuwaka later came, glad to see the familiar face again. Others seemed to shuffle around a little bit, showing mixed feelings towards the lion, especially the children. Shrugged it off and started running around a bit, trying to stir up the adolescents into some play. Though the cat became quickly tired and decided to settle back down near the small rocks. Purred towards Kuwaka, was giving of small flirts )). Later departed from the group and climbed up a nearby birch tree to rest, pleased with the new faces he had met.


-----------
•3/06/16•
Sat with Rajani, mixed emotions about a lot of matters, mind was a bliss. Lobo later joined.
Rajani and Lobo then joined Sloane, who the big cat has mixed emotions too B//. The three were engaged in a conversation about family that the cat relatively didn't understand.

THEN player disconnected because of Internet, came back and kush had sat on Sloane. Indigo was lowering head and cat understood a bit. Left to sit on Red Hill.


----------
•2/27/16•

A few days prior found Rajani awake and satisfied, was utterly pleased that the young doe was healthy. Sniffed her a few times to make sure that was actually her, and settled down beside her and Embla.

;//// these updates suck

--------------
•2/15/16•

Rested beside an unconscious Rajani for most of the day, moderately worried that the young doe might not wake up. More than once checked to see if she was still breathing, and wrapped his tail around the small body to try and keep her warm. Mostly purred along like nothing was wrong with her and everything was alright. Though, the big cat new something was wrong when she didn't wake up after being there for a few hours straight.

Licked her small face a few times to try and possibly wake her up, but no luck came to the desperate cat. Perpetually just waited it out.

Eventually the Starlit woke up to his relief, and cat was happy. (Though there was some other peeps that the cat stared at for a little bit bc he wasn't sure what they were gonna do ;/.)

Smelled the heavy scent of blood and said farewell to Rajani, then tracked the smell. Came upon an injured Sloane and a dead 'Nose' that he's only met once or twice. Immediately was shocked to see the lifeless body of the innocent child, and noticed their head was badly crushed in. Attempted to check on Sloane but was greeted with growls. Pretty much was too shocked and saddened to react, so backed up and wandered off.

Found a random tree to crawl up in and sleep, utterly confused to what happened to Sloane and the child.

-------
•2/5/16•

The cat had an enjoyable afternoon with Rajani.

----------
•1/29/16•

Yesterday, found out quickly that Embla had returned to the forest, and set out to find her. Was utterly shocked that the child was still alive, and healthy. The child was sitting with a group to the cat's surprise, Lobo, Rajani, Indigo, Jacquelyn, and a fruit child. She took notice of the cat's presence when he arrived, and nuzzled her. The cat seemed the relation between them both felt distant, but nodded and sat down. Pleased the child sat down as well.

Later the child wandered off somewhere else, didn't let himself follow her.

The next day the cat mostly slept in a small birch tree, and later came down to join Sloane, Lobo and Rajani in a cuddle pile. Mostly pleased with the cuddles.


-----------
•1/23/16•

Borderline distraught about the disappearance of the unicorn child, Embla. Hasn't seen or smelled a trace of the child in weeks, utterly devastated that the child might be dead, or is dead. As a result to this, the cat has punished himself with injuring himself on sharp rocks at the Playground, and calling himself a failure that she was attacked a while back, and letting her disappear. Now, he has multiple gashes and scratches along his flank and hindquarters, along with some around his shoulders.

Though, in the last few days prior to him breaking emotionally, the big cat hadn't worried a bit, thinking she was off with her brother somewhere. So he'd curl up with Rajani, Lobo, and Sloane with his mind not ever thinking of the child being dead. It all altered when he traveled to his old tree, which is now being inhabited by others, to see what he could salvage. The flashbacks hit him where he remembered the time where he hunted for her and gave her a rabbit's pelt and meat. Then dragged her up his tree soon after.

Anger soon poured out of him once it was done, he roared and spat until his throat was raw and his mouth was completely dry. The retired warrior attacked his old tree, taking his claws and making marks in the tree's bark, almost carving into the wood underneath. His temperament soon came to an end where he ran to the Playgrounds and proceeded to self harm.

Then he chose a much smaller birch tree to climb up in and pour out his sadness.


---------
•1/14/16• - 1/17/16

In the past few days the big cat hasn't been feeling or doing quite well around the forest. A few days prior the cougar lost his home to a 'family'. Has spent a few moments sitting with Rajani, Lobo, Sloane, and others in the past days but now spends his time trying to find another place to settle.

Has also caught a chill, since the rain had completely damped his pelt.


-------------
•1/7/16•

Met and greeted Circe in the birch forest, was fairly glad to see the human-faced feline. He sat with her for a while until she got up and walked a little ways away, then he also got up and walked towards his tree, which wasn't far at all. Climbed up his tree a fair amount until he saw an unknown down near the base of the tree, resting. The being didn't seem to cause any harm so he left it be and laid down on a branch.

It wasn't long before Circe came again, but two others were with her (Nikhil and Shardul.) The smaller of the two, Shardul, was a familar face and the big cat greeted him without ease. Though, the larger one made the cougar wary, and paced quite a bit on the hill right behind his tree. Eventually bowed to Nikhil, and went to sit with Circe. Not long after he settled with Circe, Nikhil cut in between the two, which surprised Kushal quite a bit, until he learned that the large stag was actually Circe's brother, as well as Shardul.

After he learned of the relationship between the three, didn't seem to mind the stag sitting in between the two from time to time. However, the big cat was still quite confused to why her brother did so, but he decided not to say anything of the sort.

(Player then went to the grocery store and then Internet died, rip.)

----------
•1/5/16• (Haven't updated properly in a while sobs, so here's a short one.)

Settled next to Rajani for a little while, and Z'ev. Left pretty shortly after he joined, not really interested in sitting with anyone for the afternoon. Quickly padded to his tree, and checked his food stash, and found out that the food he hunted a while back was frozen and rotting. Half-gagging on the stench of the rotten carcasses, he buried the putrid prey and went off to hunt.

Came back successful, catching two rabbits and a small songbird. Climbed up his tree and occupied himself to a worn-out branch to eat his meal. Once full, he dozed off up in the tree, and slept for most of the night.

------------
•12/31/15•

Found out this afternoon that Mandel, an acquaintance that he had newly met, had been murdered in cold blood. Thought of how Dazenth would take this, and tracked the red dragon down. Found him near the remains of the human-faced deer, looking very stunned and having various emotions exploding out of him. Nuzzled the dragon kindly, still quite unsure about the dragon, but the big cat wanted to be as polite as he could. Though, the comforting didn't last long as another being came to comfort the dragon, and the scent of blood strongly came into sense. His mouth had a tingling feeling as the fresh scent flowed throughout his nostrils, eyes becoming very dilated. Instincts quickly died, hard flashbacks all of sudden hit him as the image of his dead brother and parents littered the cave floor of his old home. Blood pooled the floor of his own home, he remembered stepping into it as he first entered it, and then being half covered with it as he left.

Snapped out of the trance as he stood staring at the remains, utterly shocked at the sight still and the flashback that hit him. Ran off as fast as he could away from the lifeless body of Mandel, and the grieving Dazenth. Growled and roared when he climbed up a big birch tree, and laid silently on the branch, still shocked over the murder.

Two unrecognizable deer sniffed the trunk of the tree he was sitting above on, jumped down and sniffed them both. Only smelled the scent of crimson blood, horrified and shocked, Kushal growled at them and they left. Stared heavily when he watched them both leave, hoping they never came close to him this dark afternoon.

Climbed back up the big birch tree, and rest his head on the branch.

------------
•12/30/15•

Nestled down with Unibab and a sleeping Rajani over near the older fawn's stash (that has currently turned into a tulip.) Was pretty pleased, unlike a few days ago where the big cat threw a hissy fit. Anyways, was later joined by Sloane, and Skellr. Unibab and Rajani began play fighting a while after the two joined, was super joyful that the two were getting along quite well. The fawns sat down close to Sloane, Kushal left shortly after that, to visit a sleeping Circe.

Came back to Rajani's stash to find that Skellr left, and Lobo had joined. Then laid right next to Unibab for nuzzles and cuddles, and dozed off a few times before leaving for the birch forest.

--------------
•12/27/15•

His morning was spent sitting with Sloane, a doe he didn't recognize (Stria), and a new face named Rhona. Greeted the three with a bow and a sniff to the new ones, steadily sat down next to Sloane and dozed off. Left later on to join Unibab, and Skellr. Then the three were joined by Kettu and Unibby. Nuzzled Kettu and licked Unibby in the face, utterly pleased to see Unibby. (Lots of people joined then and everyone jumped around and played. Ivy doesn't remember much from here.)

Later in the evening joined Kettu, Unibab, Unibby, Skellr, and a few new faces he didn't recognize. One was a tiny fawn (Grimkell), a star pelted doe (Isiel), and a massive bull (Ramsus.) Greeted the tiny fawn and invited him to come and sit with the baby pile. But, the massive bull cut in and came inbetween the cat and fawn. Pushed the fawn away and took him elsewhere. His mood took a drastic turn as he though that he was a threat and made sad faces to the Unibabs and Kettu. Took off after that into the birch forest, deaf to the calls that were made.

Quickly climbed up a large birch tree and made his way to a branch. He dug his thorn sharp claws into the branch, and growled and spat as loud as he could. After his little hissy fit, he layed down on the demolished branch and shut his eyes.

Unibabs came over to the tree, cat's mood changed, and climbed down to sit with them.
(muse is ded rip)

-----------------
•12/19/15• (Added some relations in the 'Ties' tab, and art at the bottom of the 'Identity' tab.)

Early in the morning, the big cat caught his meal (a rabbit) and quickly consumed it underneath a birch tree. After his meal, he took a walk towards the pond until he spotted Sloane. Greeted the doe with some nudges and purrs, and sat with her most of the morning. Her pup (Lobo) joined the two, and then shortly after a face that the cougar didn't recognize. Greeted the unknown and sat down with Lobo, as Sloane greeted and sat with the new face. (The three were later joined by Rajani and Refr, but Ivy had to leave for work so didn't get to interact with them much ;n;.)

Later, in the afternoon, woke to see Lobo, Rajani, Skellr, and Refr. Nudged and gave purrs to all of them, and Rajani a lick to the back. Two new faces came along and sat close to the group, felt a bit uncomfortable, gave the two some stares until one wandered off. Skellr went to sit with the new face (;; wasn't able to find the character's picto on the map sorry), leaving Kushal to feel a bit more content with the unknown.

(Had a pretty nice day overall, but in the end the cat did his nightly routine, wandered off, climbed up a birch tree, and snoozed for the rest of the night. His fur has also grown all the way in, super fluffy.)


-------------
•12/7/15• (need to add shit in relations rofl, and added art in 'Identity' tab.)

Spent a while sitting with a sleeping Rajani under her tree, until she didn't awake and he moved somewhere else. Went to join Skellr, Refr, and nearby Sloane and her pup Lobo. Gave warms to the two fox kits and Lobo when he decided to scamper over to the pile, Sloane closeby.

Eventually wandered away and spent the chilly night in a large birch tree.

-----------
•11/28/15• (added art in 'Identity' section.)

In the morning, Rajani, Unibab, and the big cat played around and teased each other, the two fawns played fight, ect. However, a red dragon (Dazenth), that he's seen and been polite around a few times showed up, and the cougar didn't seem to accept the dragon's presence this time. So, feeling threatened, and utterly drunk on instincts, Kushal lashed out and growled at the dragon. Ultimately giving him the sign to leave his sight and to not bother Rajani, or Unibab. Surprisingly to him, it seemed to work and the dragon scampered off. The two fawns didn't seem affected by the incident so he shrugged it off, and settled himself down with the tots. Was pleased of himself after, but remotely had a thought about if the dragon would accompany him ever again. Shrugged that thought off too and snoozed with the babs.

(a GRUMPY OLD MAN SORRY DAZ.)

----------------
•11/26/15•

A brief moment was spent sitting with Rajani next to her tree, was glad to be watching over the fawn. Until the two were met by a dark colored female, named Jhorla. Greeted her with unease, not certain what she would do or if she would chase the big cat off. Was more comfortable when she greeted him back and welcomed him to sit with the fawn. Later walked off to sleep in a birch tree.

Spotted Ronra and greeted her with a bow and a few nods. He's only met the female a few times, not quite sure about her yet. However, she seems friendly to the big cat and is v close to Circe. Followed her to a spot where they met Circe, the three sat together, Kushal purring away.

-----------------------
•11/24/15 - 11/25/15•

Spent most of his day cuddled up in a pile of babs, consisting of Skellr, Unibab, Refr, Rajani, and a pup named Lobo. Got up and wandered away once or twice to go to the pond or to do his business. Though, he was very gleeful that received the opportunity to watch over and bond with the babies. Glad that his predator appearance didn't frighten any of them.

After most of the babs had fallen asleep or had gone off to somewhere else, he encouraged Unibab to follow him to his home. There, he attempted to feed her a dead bird that he caught yesterday. She didn't seem to interested in it so gobbled it up and discarded the remains. The big cat was determined to feed the child, so he told her to wait on a hill while he chased down and killed a rabbit for her. The fawn came down from the hill after he had killed the rabbit, then he ripped open the carcass and cut some meat off the bone. Gave the pieces to Unibab, and she quickly consumed and lapped up the blood. Later, when she had finished the rabbit, he made her follow him until they reached a large tree. Grabbed the child's scruff, and carefully climbed up the tree with her in his mouth. Landed on a large branch where the fawn seemed uncomfortable, and he was too, afraid that she would slip off. He licked the back of her neck, and placed his paws on both sides of her, trying to make her feel secure. She dozed off, and when she awoke next he placed her back on the ground, letting her wander off.

The next day, Unibab, Rajani, and Kushal had an eventful day together. They all played around and had a very amusing time. He got out of breath every once in a while from running and jumping, but eventually the fawns decided to sit down, and he was relieved to get a break. Dozed off.

------------
•11/21/15•

A quiet morning for the big cat, gobbled down the couple of birds he caught yesterday evening. After his quick snack, he climbed back up the large birch tree, and snoozed on a branch. The cool morning air blowing through his thick fur.

Later, around the evening, he met with his friend/acquaintance Circe. Sat down and settled with her for a moment, until they were joined by a massive, striped stag (Nikhil.) Kushal wasn't quite sure about the stag, as he looked like a threat. But then later eased when Circe seemed to have known him, and enjoyed his presence. Greeted him, and then sat quite a lengths away before inching closer, and becoming more comfortable. All in all, enjoyed the company and purred throughout.

The three were later joined by a smaller, leaner stag (Shardul,) as he seemed to have knowledge of the massive stag also. Greeted him similar to the other stag, and settled himself with the four. A while later they all wandered away.

Kushal climbed up in a nearby birch tree after that, laid atop a large branch, and dozed off.

-----------
•11/20/15•

The big cat adores the unexpected snow that has fell from the sky. Spent most of his day out of the trees and on the ground, the cold weather made him feel more at home. With the upcoming colder months, his pelt and weight have fully expanded. Enjoys taking naps on the frost bared grass/dirt, and usually rolls in it from time to time. Makes him feel less chunky and snug.

Kushal caught a few birds to store for later, spent most of the day alone.


------------
•11/15/15•

Spent his morning around the Ruins on a twilight day, and met a female wolf/deer (Sloane), and her pup (Lobo.) Enjoyed both of their company, and appreciated it. He also met again with a familiar faced fawn, Rajani. Was pleased to see the young female again, was content of the presences. Later, he wandered away and went to a tree to sleep.

When he woke he found Circe, and sat with her for a little while. When she didn't awake, he moved near the pond and settled himself around the banks. Dozed off and ended up falling into the pond while asleep, once he hit the water the cat wasn't a happy cat <_>. Once he splashed in, he immediately struggled until he could jump back up the bank again. Shook most of the water out once he was on land, and decided to run around the forest a little more to try to air his fur out.

Found Rajani again and spent the rest of the evening with her.

-----------
•11/12/15•

Enjoyed a somewhat content morning and afternoon snoozing in a tree, while it's still raining. Not too pleased with the stench emitting from his fur.

------------
•11/7/15•

Briefly shared shelter under a large mushroom with a dragon (Dazenth) and an owl-like deer (Mandel.) After Kushal settled himself down under the mushroom, Dazenth wandered away, leaving Mandel. It wasn't long after that the big cat wandered away also, his winter coat sagging very close to the ground.

Walked very quickly to a large birch tree, where he climbed up the trunk, and onto a branch. He took shelter on a gnarled branch, where the cat's claws have dug into it. The branch was dry, because of the remaining leaves and a thick limb overhead. Pleased throughout most of the day he found a place dry.

Found Circe, and settled down with her. Then a short while later, they were both joined by Ronra.
three wet n' soggy kitties.

-----------
•11/2/15•

The big cat spent most of his day in one of the large birch trees, pleased with the now silent forest, unlike a few days ago. Pressure in his head had seemed to ease, with the blood from the pond fading away as well as its scent. It's recently becoming more difficult for Kushal to hunt and climb trees, with his winter fur coming in. With extra weight on his body comes laborious tasks to try and lose weight, so he can at least hunt without an issue. So, the big cat has been currently running all around the forest, training his endurance/losing weight.

He's met new faces today (Z'ev, & Rajani.) Witnessed Rajani as a familiar face and came to sit with the small fawn for a little while, for protection at least. Z'ev appeared, and the big cat was intimated by the dragon/cervine at first. But then realized he wasn't vicious, appeared very close to the fawn. Sat across with both of them, and content that everyone was getting along.

------------
•10/30/15•

Woke up to the excessive stench of blood, and not the fresh, rich kind of blood that the big cat prefers. Was very confused as to why the forest was so crowded, especially around a large, deer-like creature. He didn't have much interest, and tiredly stayed in the branches of the birch trees. Is a heavy sleeper, and most likely didn't hear any of the noise going on at the time.

When he awoke from his nap once more, his head started to pound with pain, as the stench of blood was stronger. Kushal attempted to ignore the pain, and ultimately decided to search for Unibab. In a few moments, he did just that, and nuzzled into her hair trying to block out the strong scent. It did help his pain a small bit, and was thankful for Unibab letting him use her hair.

Eventually wandered away, and spent his time chasing after birds and rabbits.

------------
•10/24/15•

Met Nevermore beside the pond in the morning, sat and interacted with the shapeshifter.
Then gave warms to the unibab, and the albino unibab. Witnessed other deer, ect.

-------------
•10/21/15• (Added two in "Ties" Section.)

Started off his morning fishing for fish and birds near the pond. He was successful and rewarded himself with a full stomach, and a happy attitude. Of course after his joyful moment and meal, he took off running towards the large birch trees for a rest. Climbed rather fast, and hard up the tree, and then when he reached a stable, sturdy branch, he curled himself on the large branch, and slept until sun-high.

When Kushal awoke, he ultimately decided to find, and check on Unibab to see how the female's wounds were doing. The search didn't take very long, and when the big cat found Unibab, he also found two more beings, (Walter, and Skellr.) Sniffed the two out, to make sure they meant no harm to Unibab. Ultimately decided they did not, and sat with the tree, before Walter and Skellr wandered off.

Later on, while still sitting with Unibab, Albino Unibab comes along and sits with Kushal, and Unibab. The three share warms, and the big fat cat is v happy <3.

-----------
•10/18/15• (Added three in the "Ties" section.)

Curled himself right up with the giant white dog, and the unibaby siblings. Not very wary towards the canine anymore, because no attacking the babies = no anger from Kushal.

-----------
•10/14/15•

First thing the big cat did before the sun came up, was to catch his meal(s) for the day. He hunted and chased down five plump rabbits, and a few game birds that flew around the treetops. Ate every bit of his successful hunt, (except for the intestines), and took a short, deserved rest.

After Kushal awoken, he felt the sudden urge to climb down from the tall birch trees and push himself to sprint towards the pond. So that's exactly what the cougar did, with his powerful limbs he jumped down from the branch of the birch, and pushed his muscles and his endurance. When he arrived at the pond, he was heaving for breath, and his pelt felt like it was on fire because of his muscles. To fix the heat problem, the big cat lowered himself into the pond's waters to cool off, and to re-hydrate. Once he was finished, he scented a familiar scent nearby, and went off to see who it was.

He saw that unibab was still injured, but better than she was before. Her wounds seemed to have been sewn up and smelled non-sour. A particular dog was with her and he ultimately figured the canine healed the young one up. Then, without any known threat that the dog was going to cause trouble, the cougar settled himself right next to the unibab and cuddled up with her.

-----------
•10/6/15• (Updated art section.)

Played around in the high branches of the trees to keep himself occupied, and trying to build his endurance up for the cold months that come. However, he scented a very familiar scent and climbed out of the tall birch trees to see who the ever so familiar scent belonged to.

When he could get a glimpse of the being, oh was the big cat excited and joyful as ever. It was his old friend, Kaala. The hybrid male looked... different, but that didn't matter to Kushal. He jumped and ran all around and even over the male, he was very happy to see his old, close friend once more. After they exchanged welcomes, they sat together once again.

---------
•10/1/15• (Added one in "ties" section, again.)

Mostly stayed in the trees, avoiding ongoing stag fights, sleeping, ect.

------------
•9/25/15•

Spent most of the morning up in a birch tree, dozing and playing with the occasional beetle the happened to come past his paws. Viewing the deer and other creatures fighting for a mate below his own paws. The big cat was a little interested in how the cervines fought and how the female (or male) picked the winner. But after a few other times he became disinterested and went back to playing with beetles.

Around the evening he caught the scent of his friend (Kestrel) and came out of the tree to greet him. A few others were there with Kestrel, unfamiliar scents and faces, but greeted them with kindness. After he had played around with Kestrel and another significant one (Draven), he trotted off to take a quick rest underneath a tree.

When he awoken, Kestrel and Draven were still around surprisingly, so he went and sat with the two.

-----------
•9/19/15•

The big cat has been confused entirely for the past few days, he's seen a lot of deer acting very wary around other males and even himself. Kushal's own behavior has been off because he thinks the deer and other creatures around seem anxious and almost preparing for something. Ultimately decided to hunt to keep his stubborn and ignorant mind off of it, was successful and caught some rabbits.

Took his prey and ate atop one of the birch's high branches. Then decided to have a little bit of fun to take more of his mind off of his frustration and play with the carcasses of the rabbits. (Then the big fat cat went to sleep, the end.)

-------------
•9/14/15•

Sat with Kestrel and her fawn for a little while, and also played/teased the little one for enjoyment. Scraped his claws along the Playground stones while he was there, as he felt a little dull in trying to catch his breakfast that very morning. Climbed around on the mysterious placed stones too, didn't have a bit of a problem doing so as his body is built for climbs like the ones he was practicing on the stones. (scroll)

Felt a little disconnected from Kestrel this time, feels as if the male is trying to protect Rose from him.

------------------
•9/9/15•(Added new appearance ref by Keepiru ♥)

Awoke under the shade tree, with the weather still being quite warm his fur seems to grow, which means more shedding. A large clump of fur fell right underneath his body as he got up to hunt for rabbits. The big cat didn't like that quite well and became very moody, which resulted in a sloppy hunt for him. Only caught three rabbits, which he devoured, and he was disappointed in himself for most of the day.

Later he found a group of deer with many he's seen before, and Kestrel with his fawn. Kushal was glad to see his friend and the fawn, the cat ran around many times to show. However he wasn't quite comfortable sitting near a large group of deer, afraid that his natural instincts will kick in and pounce suddenly upon them.

----------
•9/5/15• (Added an updated version to the 'Identity' section of the bio; will eventually fill out his appearence there as well)

Wasn't feeling the best when he awoke this morning, very thirsty and fatigued. Slowly padded towards the pond to dip himself in it and drink. Did just that, after he was slaked he walked up on the pond's banks and rested his large head upon his paws.

He then took a nap for a long while, until he awoke with a familiar small body sitting next to him. It took the big cat a few moments to recognize it was his acquaintance, Shelby. Kushal was quite joyful to see the wolf pup, as he purred and jumped around. Eventually sat down with her.

----------
8/27/15

stuff
---------
8/25/15

Was really hungry and decided to try and fish for fish in the pond, didn't do so well the first time but finally got that fish can see shadows. Caught a few and then ate beside the pond for a while. Eventually became humid and hot and went to the birch forest to sit under the cool shade. Found Kestrel and his new daughter, Rose, sat with them for a while to keep Kest company.

Eventually padded off to find more shade and to rest, and cool down. Woke up and found Kest in his crow form, sat around and drifted off. /dreamed about Kest flying on a crow with Rose on his shoulder.

Arose once more and sharpened his claws on a large birch tree, did some stretches and jumped up in one of the trees to have some feeling of security. Watched multiple deer go past without even hesitating when they passed by, mustn't have very good sense of smell he thinks. Kushal paced up and down the branch we was laying down on, making sure it was stable for him to sleep upon. At last, he curled up on the branch and dosed off once again.

-----------
8/24/15

New css, laid around and was sleepy kitty.

----------
8/6/15 (August)

Laid around and slept for a good time, too hot and lazy to get up and hunt. Then after some long moments of deciding to either sleep or go lap up water from the pond he slowly got up and moved to the pond. Kushal doesn't like water very well but whenever he's hot, he likes to just dip his whole body into water. He did just so; lapped surprisingly cool water, and slowly padded into the pond until only his neck stuck out. Peed a little in the pond because the cool sensation shocked his skin and surprised his bladder, even purred a little. Yawned when he finally decided to get out of the pond, shook the water off and became a big fluff ball. Growled at the hot sun beaming down from the tree tops, and walked over to the birch forest so he could catch some birds. Smelled something strange and padded over to the other side of a large birch tree to see a freshly deceased fawn. Scratched it's flank to see if it really was deceased, it was, didn't want to waste the meat. So he made a tear in the deceased's fawn's flank so his teeth could tear into the meat easily. After that, he was still hungry, of course, so he climbed up the large birch tree above and caught a few birds. Ate most of the birds he caught and left only one.

Was tired once again and picked a nice shaded area where he could rest and not be hot. To his surprise, a unicorn baby that he protects, snuggled up to him where he slept. Then a few moments after he came, another one came, and did the same. Slept with the two babies for a while until they both left. Felt rather pleased that he could protect something once again.


----------

7/7/15

Sat with sleeping Hydra for a while to keep the dragon company. Feels sorrow for the female, her family hasn't been around for quite some time and the lonely one seems to be saddened all the time. After sitting with her, he decided to take a short rest to give him some energy for hunting.

Woke up and saw that the sun was at it's highest point in the day, said his short goodbyes to the still sleeping dragon and padded off to the birch side of the forest. Climbed some of the trees and caught large amounts of birds, and squirrels that were on the branches of the birch trees. Ate almost all of what he caught and hid some his extra food in a small ditch. (scroll)

He went to the pond to get a quick drink when he spotted his new acquaintance/friend in a small group. Greeted the others in the group as well as Kaala, some were resting so he didn't get the full chance to meet all of them. But one, named Misha greeted him with friendliness and Kushal himself did the same. Sat with the group for a while, a little unsure of most of the creatures there. They didn't chase him away or attack so that gave him the idea that they tolerated him.

Identity

Personality;

Tactful/Social/Emotional/Moody
/Generous//Tactful/Cowardly/Insecure/Energetic
/Grumpy/'Goes with the flow'/Ambitious

*Kushal has a natural instinct of protecting ones that cannot protect themselves. He'll usually situate himself in between something that has a serious injury or is very young. With that, the big cat will only become aggressive if something attempts to harm or kill himself, or the injured/young. If he perceives someone as needing protecting, Kushal will sit himself near or somewhat close enough to
observe.

*While the big cat isn't much of a "fighter" he does have a tendency to become aggressive towards or in mating season. That is when his pheromone/hormonal level is at it's highest, and his sex drive moderately high also. Kushal will usually seclude himself from everyone around this time, since he cannot control his own actions or emotions. Any other time he is not aggressive and will not strike nor assail, unless necessary

*Was a very experienced warrior, and he has killed other felines before. Now, after the troubled past that he has witnessed and lived through, his thoughts about fighting and killing have completely changed.

*He's depicted as a coward when he's around fighting, he'll most likely trod off to some other location where he cannot hear the sounds of it. If anything challenges him to a fight, Kushal will deny it and attempt to act submissive. If that doesn't work he'll let the challenger attack first, and do whatever he can do to defend himself. The big cat will never challenge anything to a brawl just for the enjoyment. He uses his "strength" for defending himself and others, never for the sake of just fighting.

*Kushal can be easily approached and more than likely approach others. Doesn't really enjoy large groups, generally stays away unless provoked. Has a deep dislike for frogs, snakes, or any other amphibian/reptile, brings back bad memories. Loves to be up in trees, preferably tall ones. Fundamentally, likes to be around trees altogether, feels protected by them.

*Prone to mood swings, and having bipolar tendencies. One day he might be totally fine, the next he's grumbling up in a tree all by himself.

*The big cat doesn't loathe the thought or sight of water, generally enjoys it if it's a hot or humid day. However, doesn't enjoy it as much when it's cold or murky.

*Not quick to judge on anyone or anything, first impressions to him are useless. Will likely spend a numerous amount of time with a being before he makes a final judgement, could go any way depending on the being, or even the big cat.

*Has almost made himself forget his terrible, and tragic past and home. Kushal doesn't like to speak of his past with ones he doesn't trust or know awfully well. Even if he does know someone favorably well, it's not common for him to share his stories often.

*Developed a type of clingy, possessive personality whilst in the Forest. Especially around little ones, really displeased once they leave his sight. (rofl, he's starting to become super annoying sorry everyone.)

Appearence;

-Large, bulky structure. (More slender in the summer than winter.) Mainly built like a mountain lion with some ram features.
-Limbs are short and muscular, excellent for jumping and hopping up into trees. Feet are broad with four paw pads on hind and five on front paws. Though paws aren't massive like a lion's or tiger's, can still be heavy. Each paw has thorn-like claws that are about 2.7 inches (about 6.8 cm) long, capable of doing some deep-wound damage.
-Tail is around 2/3 of body length, little above average for a normal cougar. Very soft and fluffy, sleeps with it curled around paws/nose.
-Head is large and bulky, and has grey/white, dark grey, and tan/grey markings. Has a very thick-boned skull thanks to the pale-yellow/golden ram horns that sit a little above each ear, pointy ends. Each ear is a dark grey on the outside, and a lighter grey on the inside. Has two white patches of fur just outside the inside of the ear to protect from the wind/elements. His muzzle is short and medium in size with whiskers lining both sides. Nose is pale pink in color. Eyes are a light amber/gold in color with dark grey markings surrounding the bottom and a sliver of dark grey going upwards towards his forehead. White surrounds the rest of his eyes and cheeks, has a tan/grey forehead. Fluffy cheeks.
-Broad white chest, also soft and fluffy.

will do more later.

Kushal's old home was in the vast area of the Himalayan Mountains, (in a cavern much like this, minus the hikers) his duty was to protect his tribe and the mountains from humans and other creatures that didn't belong in the area. His father (Akash) trained him very fiercely when he was just out of cubhood, he told him to never show mercy when there was danger and to fight for his life to protect the mountains or his tribe. Akash was the tribe alpha, every tribe mate looked up to him and support, hardly any others dared to challenge him. As almost every tribe member knew what would happen if someone challenged the great Akash. And almost every tribe member thought Kushal was special, because he had the honor to train with his father. Kushal himself didn't find him very lucky when his training for almost 8 years had ended with himself beating his father in a fight, the alpha even bowed to him. Kushal had multiple injuries where Akash had fought with him, he had to stay in the healers cave for what it seemed like months.
After he had healed from the battle with his father, Kushal's duties seemed endless. He had to lead groups of his tribe members around the territory, making sure none of trespassed. He also had to hunt for his clan over rocky terrain and icy winds. His mother, Heena, helped him through bad times and he developed a close bond with her. Often scolded his father for making deep wounds in Kushal's flank.

After almost 20 years of his life, his brother was born. So that made Kushal first heir of the tribe, and that also meant that he had challenge when it was his time to become alpha. His brother, named Hamza, started to become envious of Kushal, he thought that his older brother was getting more attention than him. Kushal didn't think so, he thought his tribe mates treated him and his brother respectfully but never more than another. He often fought with Hamza verbally, and told him to act more mature. Hamza eventually grew out of his thoughts and became close to his brother, but he still had moments of enviousness. When his brother became a full grown adult, Kushal started to have enemies. At one point the enemies challenged him for being heir to the alpha, they both lost terribly, they hadn't had any battle training in years. Their names are Sultan and Juiova, he had deep hatred for both of them as they both challenged him and Hamza. Kushal tore half of Sultan's horn off, and cut Juiova's tail partly off. Both of the felines were furious at him, but he just growled in both of their faces and walked off.

Kushal and his tribe members lived in peace for a long time, until they came. He doesn't know who they were, but one day, he will find them and slaughter them all. It all started when Kushal went out by himself to find some herbs for the healer, a simple job that cubs usually do before they were getting ready to be trained. It was a snowy day from what he can remember, but the sun was shining brightly. It took him awhile to find the exact type, but he finally grabbed the correct kind and was headed back to the cavern.
That's when he heard the heart stopping screams
He didn't even think, he dropped the herbs from his mouth and ran, and ran, and ran, as fast as he ever could back to the cavern. It took him a long time to walk to the sunny spot where the herbs grew, but it didn't when he was running as fast as he was.

When he got to the cavern, it was... too late. Blood and gore was everyone, pools of blood were leaking out of bodies and mangled torn corpses were impaled on rocks. Dark blood was splattered on the walls of the cavern and the snow that had let itself inside was stained red. He saw his enemies bodies thrown on one wall and his friend on another. His heart dropped when he thought of his family, he ran past the bodies and blood was splattered all over his legs and paws. He went past the healers cave and the healer's body was at the entrance, mangled with bones sticking out of her chest. Kushal let out a mourning sob for Aruna, the old healer helped him so much in the years past. He started running again until he came upon his parents sleeping rocks, where both of their bodies were on the rocks blood dripping down from the edge of the smooth stones.

Their bodies were unrecognizable, throats slashed and both of their chest cavities had been ripped open and organs hanging out everywhere. He let out a long, mournful moan for his father, who had trained him to be such a brave, fierce warrior for all those long, cold years. He let out one for his mother who was so kind, and generous to him on hard days where his father trained him merciless. Kushal lowered his head, and went to find his brother, hoping that he was somehow still alive.

His brother's body was not too far away from where his parents bodies now lay. He let out another, mournful sob for Hamza. But he saw something very strange that should not have been there, tan and black fur laid around his younger brother's corpse, suggesting that Hamza fought off his attackers before he was brutally killed. Then he realized what the attackers were. A tribe of Clouded Leopards had attacked his tribe and left them all dead, and all the attackers had left without him spotting them. He smelled all around the cavern, trying to smell the scent of the Clouded Leopard tribe but all he could scent was blood and old scents of his tribe mates.

Kushal looked all around the cavern, but every last one of them was dead. He found quite a few Clouded Leopard bodies scattered throughout the cavern, saying that his tribe fought back. But it did his tribe no good, they all had died a horrible, gory death. He blamed himself for his tribe's death, if he would've been there he could have helped them fight off their attackers. He realized days after the bloody event that it would not do the tribe any good, it seemed like there was just too many Clouded Leopards to fight. But he still should have been in that cavern, fighting for his tribe, instead he broke his promise to Akash (his father) and did not die for his tribe.

After months the decaying bodies of his old tribe had turned to unrecognizable skeletons, the blood that was once splattered and pooled on the walls and floors of the cavern had now turned to stains. After months of thinking and thinking, Kushal decided it was time to leave his home, and find another place to stay. He couldn't find the Clouded Leopard tribe that had killed his whole tribe, he searched and searched but he finally decided to put an end to his long search.

Kushal traveled for what it seemed like seasons, but it was only a few months. He traveled through long deserts, and deep rain forests, and various grasslands. Until he finally found a marsh to settle upon. He thought that this was the place where he was to stay, the marsh had various mammals to feast upon, and a large freshwater spot to drink on. He realized after only a few weeks that this was not the place to stay.

The day started out when the grief stricken awoke from under a shaded tree, he stepped out into the sun to go to the freshwater spot. As he was walking towards the freshwater, he spotted a few frogs hopping in front of his path. Without even thinking, he swatted the frogs from his path and kept walking towards the water. A few moments later, more and more frogs kept appearing in his path. Kushal was becoming annoyed and swatted them all out of his way. Once he got to the water, his pupils seemed to become three times their original size. There were frogs everywhere, covering the water and the banks, it seemed as if they never ended. Very annoyed, Kushal growled very loud, hoping that all of them would scatter and hop away from the water. Instead, the frogs did the opposite and hopped towards him. Thinking that he could slash them away like flies, he did so. But that didn't even work, they hopped on him and all over him, swarming him like bees. He gave a surprise yelp and ran away as fast as he could from the frogs and the damn marsh.

He stopped running after the frogs had dropped from his body, and he had slaughtered them. Kushal started traveling once more, stopping here or there for just a short amount of time. After another few weeks of traveling, he came upon a large, thick forest. He decided to go through it and look for another place, but after awhile, he kept going in the same place over and over again. The feline started to become frantic, he started running, trying to get out of this strange place, but it was no use. This forest was endless, and he could never escape. Kushal looked around his surroundings, there were many creatures here, some hairless, some tiny, some very large, and some frightening. He decided to make the best of it here, if any creature tried to harm him he would fight for himself, his old tribe, and his deceased family. He had nothing left, no friends, family, or welcoming place.

Kushal still kept going, like his mother always told him, "Never give up, my boy"
