Meet Akamai
Name: Akamai Sage Thresdal [though he doesn’t know his middle or last name]
Age: 6 [his mind and body reflects that, in actuality he’s actually 50]
Sex: Male
Description: Puny; 3’2” and 43lbs, he looks that he just gets barely enough to eat. His skins would be lightly, from living in a forest with some sunlight, it’s dark as it’s caked with 44 years worth of dirt. It’s a miracle that his black sweater, pants, and shoes have somehow survived the long period of abuse. He keeps the tail hidden in the back of his pants, however a mere winter hat covers the bases of the ears. He claims that they are part of the hat, though his first reaction would have his ears flatten down so no one can notice. His eyes reflect the poor living conditions he’s living in, as the pupils are a darker, dull purple.

Personality: If he meets a person, at first he would just observe them. As a minute or two goes by, he would speak more and more, until he’s comfortable. Without having parents for so long; he craves touching and being touch. Akamai doesn’t have a personal ‘bubble’, allowing anyone to touch him who won’t hurt him or try to remove his hat or the back of his pants. Trying to do that is as traumatizing as tossing him, naked, at a crowd of people. In such an event, he would cover his ears and the tail. It is because he’s confused about what sex he is; having the same organ as Daddy but the same cat features of Mommy and Maira, his sister. If people were to ask him about the ears, Akamai would say they are the hat. If they tell him that they just twitched, he would deny that statement.
He’s observant of every place he goes. Akamai can no longer get lost as he associates with landmarks to make sure he heads in the right direction, unless he’s blindfolded or not paying attention. The reason is because of his photographic memory. Still having issues, he will relentlessly follow people and doesn’t know the word ‘boundary’. This, unfortunately, would mean he would follow them into bathrooms The boy is loyal, part of it not wanting to leave anything that seems stable. Sometimes he will have a hard time describing actions or thoughts. Also offer him chocolate or threaten that you’ll hurt him, Akamai will become putty. Currently, he isn’t attracted to anyone. Granted he hasn’t been around people and will judge females rather harshly. The reason is due to what his mother did, before never seeing her again.
History: [History before birth] Mr. Adrian Lucas Thresdal is a human poet who used to be popular throughout the area. He use to travel everywhere, to gain inspiration for his writings. He settled down once he received the vision of where to build a house, as he met the woman of his dreams. Mrs. Amethyst Lily Thresdal was a gypsy who describes her people as 'fair folk'. Though it's not a fact if she's an actual fairy, it's hard to deny her curious appendages. Amethyst has ears, a nose, and a tail like a black cat. She is a wanderer too, though it was with a traveling troupe of her own kind. She met Adrian, as it was a pit stop towards Witches How, popular place with the group who practice creating potions. She got 'friendly' with the man, making him tell all about his life and ambitions. Curious to see if it would pull through, she convinced her family to build a house then leave her to the lover. The relationship was very passionate, between the dreamer and the gypsy. They decided, three weeks later, to get married right away. It wasn't long after, that Adrian felt he should publish his poems. Nine months after, everything seems to be doing excellent. Healthy baby Maira Rose was born, as well as money from the successful book. It was enough to live comfortably and be able to be indulgent, time to time. They stayed in the home, miles from civilization, believing it was lucky and also they didn't have to bother with people. Also, Amethyst didn't like to call her daughter or herself, 'cats' or something as annoying due to their looks. 10 years and 2 more books later, they had their second child and wonder why it took so long to conceive.
[Akamai's life] He was born 50 years ago; as a 6 pound baby who carries and displays Mommy's genes. Akamai always was a happy and affectionate child. He grew up like his sister, who was taught how to help around the house and to sew when he was four. Unfortunately, that was the same time the war got very drastic. Because of the increase resources the King needed, taxes were highly raised. The family could have lived with that, if Adrian's books kept selling. People began to have more work to do, some were sent to war, and others tired of the subject matter of nature or poetry. As they tried to live their lifestyle, money quickly dried out. This meant they had to find food and make due with what they had. Luckily, there were berry bushes and a creek, for fishing near by. The family would stress about what they had to do for money and food; except for oblivious Akamai who was hoping his happiness would spread to the rest of his family. Luckily, Maira was enough, at sewing, where she could repair and create garments. That brought some money in; but that couldn't help with the diminishing food sources. The parents figured out how to ensure survival, that would mean sadly making a sacrifice. The two possible candidates were the older, sewing asset or the growing, happy liability, as his skills weren't any where near professional level.
With that in mind, Mommy made the event look like bonding time to her son. She made it a game of tag, going into the Witches How. Doing so would help prevent the child from memorizing where he was being lead. As Amethyst remembered, they reached a small clearing in the heart of the area. She decided in having a picnic, having one last happy memory with her youngest. Akamai was of course happy, liking the face to face time he was getting with his mother. All happy times eventually end, and it was a game of Hide and Seek The kid was told to hide, which he went up a tree. He was surprised that Mommy took so long finding him, she has managed to find him quickly in manner of minutes, and she even went the wrong way. He giggles of his accomplishment, right until it got dark out. He would look around and scream for his family, getting so desperate, and kept it up until the next morning. That was when he realized that he couldn't go back and no one would be looking for him. He hated his family for doing that, especially Mommy who led him out there. Akamai eventually started to wonder they did such a thing, everything had been fine before. However, he figured out differences between him and everyone else. He has a certain organ like Daddy, but Mommy and Maira had certain appendages that the older male didn't. This lead the cat-boy to believe he was kicked out for being a freak, of having both, supposed, sex characteristics. It didn't help the only people he ever knew was his family.
He eventually found food and a tree for shelter. Weirdly enough, he stopped aging after that point. That's due to that part of his food sources had medicinal and potion uses. That probably had made the last 44 years seem endless, as no other changes happen other than eventually making a den for protection against rain. Sometimes there would be an occasional 'monster' to deal with, ranging from wolves to fairies to witches, but he was able to hide and avoid detection. Otherwise he has been alone. He guesses life will forever be like that.
Custom Title: [please make green]The Confused Cat-Boy
Sample RP: The boy continues to stare curiously at Galen. It felt like a long time standing there, waiting for a voice again. What do you want..? He was unable to raise his own questions, but was willing to answer the man's. "I am..." In slow, small phrases. "No I don't... I'm not a cat!"
The last sentence, Akamai showed annoyance. He knows his appendages resembled those of cats, just like his mother. To call him a cat is going up to any young boy and call them a girl. This made him feel more uncomfortable and more determined to keep his ears down. He wished on that day, his parents left him, he didn't tell his mom that his hat made his ears uncomfortable. She cut holes into the black hat, so the ears can perk out.
He continues to stare, observing his movements. The cat-boy couldn't believe that the stranger bends down and gets closer. The stranger even put on a smile, that compelled the boy to come even closer.
It took about a minute for the boy to think. At first he took the question as Which sex are you? He wanted to answer 'daddy', but he wasn't entirely sure, as he resembled his mother too. The boy didn't want to give the wrong answer, as he all ready defended that he wasn't a cat. I still did not. He then replayed the name said,
Still in disbelief that someone would come along, the boy reaches out with his left hand. Galen couldn’t be proven real, unless he is physical and doesn’t feel like a plant.
