Hessiah, Once of the Mooncats
New
Roleplay posts: 5
Age: Young for a princely cat.
Appearance: Has dark, black fur reminiscent of the night sky. They gaze with bright, golden eyes that shine like stars. He has a small, black nose and shining, white whiskers. He has a lean physique, with thin arms and legs, and his paw-like hands contain sharp, retractable silver claws between their digits. He also has a long, bristly black tail that extends out from his rump. They are short, barely extending up above 5'0".
He wears a long, sparkling hat on his head that, at certain angles, looks like a crescent moon. They wear grey, flowing robes that don't quite do enough to cover his chest, which looks rather poofy.
If one looks close enough, they can see red dots within the pupils of his eyes, which seem to stretch further and further into the distance the more one looks at them.

Equipment: Moonlight's Capsule: A chrome staff longer than Hessiah is tall. A large circle rests on the tip with a hollow, white crystal resting inside, held in place by two spikes shaped like crescents.
The Archon Flag: A magical flag, in tatters, that changes based on who is currently in possession of it. For Hessiah, the Archon symbol flickers on it: A silver moon against a black background, turning red as if in the midst of a lunar eclipse, with a large, pupil-like black dot in the middle of the moon.

Skills and Abilities: A minor grasp of the 'moon magic.': With his runes taken away, Hessiah does not quite know the traditional spells. Despite this, they do try to make an effort. (They can only cast magic, however, while holding Moonlight's Capsule in paw.)
(Moon Magic, for the people of his world, is the feral magic, based around manipulating emotions, desires, and the subconscious. Hessiah's magic output thus revolves around, for example, trying to make people fall asleep or get hungry.)
Climbing: They have cat-like agility and dexterity, and thus can seem to effortlessly climb and navigate areas that others might find difficult.
Nocturnal Vision: Like all cats, he can see in the dark quite well. Those who look into his eyes at night notice they carry a faint, silver glow to them.

Biography: Hessiah was once called Hessiah Mooncat, a noble cat of the Mooncat bloodline, the only noble bloodline of any prominence within the Archon Kingdom to have the feral moon magic in its blood. The kingdom believed themselves magisents of reason and rationality, and therefore cast heavy suspicion of the Mooncats for their ties to what was considered to be the dangerous magic of feral times. Despite that, though, the Mooncat's had managed to develop influence through clever politics, land dealings and a generally cordial relationship with the lower-ranked warriors and commoners.
Hessiah Mooncat was the only child of the Mooncat family; initially, there had been three, but one had miscarried and the other disappeared early in Hessiah's childhood. Hessiah felt the weight of this pressure all of their life; wherever the Mooncat line went, it would go with him. They felt inadequate, however, due to a combination of inattentiveness, a seeming inability to control his own "feralness" and his own misgivings with the hierarchical systems of nobles and commoners based on blood.
Despite that, their family eventually took over, with Hessiah as Prince of the Magistrate, the government of the Archon Kingdom. He would not be Prince for long, however.
The combined weight of princehood, the growing resentment from prior mistreatment over their bloodline, and their own sense of inadequacy led them to do something rash. It involved a commoner: a female feline with black fur like him, who entered the Magistrate one day. The two would continue to meet, and the nature of the meetings morphed into the scandalous.
They were caught one day.
For his transgressions, Hessiah was disowned, removed of all of his magic items and runes that allowed him to cast spells and use his moon magic, and was sent out to sea to be exiled to whatever island the ship happened to find first.
Thus, he was already out to see when the Cataclysm came. When he entered the mist, having only Moonlight's Capsule and on a small dinghy boat, he just thought it was a freak storm.

Greetings, fellow roleplayers! I am $erpent453, the username I use for most places. Was looking for a cool RP site to join and I found this place! It already looks really awesome, so I'm excited to contribute. Alongside writing, I also make music, and if I could draw I'd be animating too! (I'm really into classical music and Pink Floyd.) My favorite genres are fantasy and horror, and I love to combine these two things. I also love to worldbuild.
My first character on this site is Hessiah, Once of the Mooncats, who I am currently posting as now.
I look forward to meeting and writing with you all!
