Appearance Human: In his human form he has long like hair, reaching down to about mid-neck. His eye color is a bright green and his skin color is tan. His height is average for a human male and his weight size is about average too. His build is a little less in human being as it is a fragile body. Each nail on hands and feet, when visible that is, when not wearing footwear. His nails are long sharp and black, resembling claws. His teeth are semi-normal for a human being, except for the canines he still has from his true form. Alex has furry, dark green cat ears that protrude from the side of his head and two dark small horns on top of his head. A long, furry, dark green tails appears out, slightly above his behind. The black markings he was given at birth, a paw print, like a bears, is still on his right arm in human form along with the spots on his thighs, although in this form they look more like tattoos.
Scars: Alex has three long scars on his lower back which slowly stretch across to come out slightly around the waist. Another scar rests at the top of his nose to under his left eye. The scar on his face was obtained between fending off another male Eplithian for his forest, and the ones across his back are from being captured by human beings and having been whipped harshly to change his form, having escaped is a mystery himself, as he does not remember escaping their clutches. These scars are visible in both forms.
Appearance Eplith Cat: In his true form, a demon being, named after the forests in English 'The Forest Cat' He has green fur with black markings on his front right leg, a paw print, the print much resembling a bears paw print and black spots resting on his hind legs. His horns on his head are much longer than in a human form. His eyes still remain a bright green and his small main that rests on the back of his neck is a dark green, along with his ears and tail. His belly is a much lighter green and the build of the creature is bigger and the legs longer in the front and shorter in the back, giving the animal a slant to it's posture. His tail shorter in his beast form as he has more of a body that needs the spine. Three scars rest on his lower back, and a scar on the top of his nose to crawl out slightly underneath the left eye.
Clothing: Alexander wears black denim shorts with a slanted, studded, brown belt that rests on one hip and slants as it goes down and slightly rests underneath the other hip. His shirt is a dark red and the sleeve on the right arm, long, reaches down until his hand, the left arm sleeve is torn at the shoulder, leaving the rest of his arm visible. Over his shirt he has thrown on a cover, most likely made of an animal hide. Beige in coloring and at the ends of the material it has dark brown tassels hanging from it. The design on the cover simple with triangles going up on one side and the other opposing, pointing down. The cover itself is held together by a dark brown threading which is tied in a small bow in the front. On his feet he wears black and white boots which have two belt buckles on each one that hold the tongue and the boot together tight.
Accessories: For added on wear, he has three silver piercings along the bottom side of his ears which has a tiny chain looped through them and then hooked to the end of the ear. And on the top of his right ear are two more silver earrings and on the left, two silver studs. Around his right wrist is a silver cuff link that is locked on. Attached to it is a chain hooked through and at the end of the looped chain is a tiny, red, crystal heart.

HISTORY
(About the Eplithians): Eplithians are a large feline species, slightly bigger than the largest cat, the tiger. As Alex is a demon of this kind he was born as a beast, and not a human being or figure. Born into a litter that consisted of six, three boys and three girls, they each had a unique fur color, which was either adapted by the father or mother Eplith. The creatures of this pack were born with a large paw print on their right front leg, nearing the shoulder blade. This marking was passed down by their father, which any marking on the front leg was always passed down by the male in the family while the female passes down markings on the hind legs. The marking the young were given from their parents were spots all resembling one another and taking after the mothers design. This design was on both hind legs.
After any animal comes of age, the litter usually is old enough to leave on their own, starting a new pack somewhere else or just leaving in sanctity elsewhere. Alex and each of his siblings, all left for a new forest to call their home. Once settled in a new forest Alex, and any other Eplithian will look after it as a home and or a mother of sorts. Loathing any defilement to the woods other than the natural. The Eplithians are and have been becoming a rarer species each day. Either they are just simply dying off at a younger age, with the human habitat ruining the forests that become part of their lives, or they are being hunted by humans for their rare colored furs and horns, so they can be sold off or stuffed as trophies.
Over many years the Eplithians have acquired the abilities to use nature as their own power and the ability to shape shift into a human being figure for a sort of disguise, but this transformation still not fully perfected as their ears, tails and horns still showed, along with their markings, which gave away to humans, but this saved their skin for some time. As what was the need in so little fur or horns, and who wanted a human resembling trophy? But all things can't last. They were once again captured for science. Tested on and tortured to try and bring forth their true form. If their true form was revealed they were slaughtered, and if they didn't change back, they'd slowly be tortured to their death. Some are even still captured and sold off to zoos to be gawked at by other human beings.
Starvation of loss of species to hunt and forests to habitat they walk the earth scarcely. Eplithians now have adapted to eating fruit, but their numbers haven't gone up much. Alex, being an Eplithian that could alter his shape to that of a human, adapted the human tongue, able to speak English, but only a little. It is hard for him to learn as it was easier and is easier for any Eplithian to talk through growls, purrs and roars. Through actions and smells they were also able to talk to one another. Although away from his family for years, no Eplithian would be able to forget their family by the same markings they share. Although other Eplithians varied in markings and colors.
Alexander's family all shared similar pelt colors too, shades of greens or blues. Or some born with both colorings of the parents. When meeting other Eplithians which is usually rare because of the dying number and they are often scattered across the world in various locations for a forest for themselves, but any male who enters another males territory may be considered a threat as they may want the forest for them self, and will fight to take it over. A female is a minor threat, not often they want to take a forest for themselves, but they are usually looking for a mate. A female coming across another female, especially when a male is present, the two will fight for his love.
Eplthians with the same marking of another Eplithian are often related in some way and it is easier to tell which side of the family they may be from, by either the front marking or the back, or simply the color of the pelt. Alex now lives in a new forest away from his family entirely, often in his human like form and trying to learn English to his fullest potential, some words hard for him to pronounce, and his name, being an English one is of course not his real name, but in a beasts tongue, humans or other beings of English and other languages, would never, be able to speak it.
No one really knows how the Eplith cat came to exist, but many believe in the theories of God, Science and Magic.....

PET APPEARANCE[/color]

White tufts on the tips of his ears, and his fur is quite long. With bright blue eyes and a pink nose.

Strengths: The only strengths this cat has, to be even consider strengths that is... His ability to fly, which helps him to escape predators and away from harm. His sharp little teeth and claws for hunting mice and rats and maybe to swoop down randomly and attack a predator or two by teasing to cut them with his claws.
PET HISTORY[/color]
(About the Rretyn): Rretyn are just common looking house hold cats, but with feather wings. Their fur color varies from cat to cat and the offspring usually take after the parents.
Unlike normal cats these felines are found on high mountains and in luscious forests and like a bird, they are born in a small white egg, speckled blue. Once humans discovered these cats they gave them a name which in English means 'The Heavens' because of their feathered wings and ability to fly, although not all of these species have white wings.
Tori was born in a large nest, which was made on a large tree in the forest Alexander lives in. Unlike the Eplith Cat, Rretyn Cats are not rare at all, and instead of being killed off by humans they were taken and sold as normal pets to some.
Humans had entered the forests and stole the parents of Tori's and his siblings who weren't even hatched yet, only able to assume they were sold as pets to other human beings. A Rretyn can only manage to lay about 1-3 eggs every year.
Tori was just one egg out of three, they were open snacks to any predator, his two siblings were munched on by a wondering weasel, and somehow only his egg was left. Once the winds became strong that day the nest was blown out of the tree. Landing in a bush just a little ways from the ground.
The egg unharmed and was about to hatch any day was found by Alexander. Alex took the egg and looked after it until it hatched. The two have been together since. Even if Alex likes his quiet, he has been accompanied by a flying chatty furball for a year now, and probably for many more years to come.
The great thing about being with another species of beast, and particularly a cat, makes it easier for the two to talk. Although Tori is slowly understanding English words and commands, he cannot speak it, but Alexander can always talk with him in his Eplith Cat form.
