A Hooded Feline

Portrait
Description
Name: Undisclosed
Race: Guardinal - Half Leonal (Celetsial)
Height: 5'4

Sporting the features of his mixed heritage, this creature stands with feline grace and Celestial pride. Short in comparison to full-blooded Leonals, he is in no way lacking the speed and agility granted to his kind. Under the short, silvery, downy coat of fur that covers his body are taut muscles, compact and lean, able to carry him with fluidity or allow lightning quick leaps and bounds.

Two large, padded feet propel the creature with speed. The bones in each of his feet are tightly connected by ligaments enabling them to buffer the impact of landing from running, pouncing and leaping which, when playing or fighting, can be a common occourance for the man. When threatened, he will also show or even use the curved, retractable claws within those large, padded feet. Each claw is around 5cm in length and can be used not only to slash but to grasp and hold onto prey. Each paw has four of these claws in addition to a dewclaw, sitting further back in the paw and not touching the ground when he walks. It's purpose is to aid in the grasping of targets, acting somewhat similarily to a thumb.

Being a digitigrade creature, his movements are mostly guided by his toes and the invert legs atop them. Designed for speed and power, his speed in comparison to most is almost frightening when he propels himself. Large thighs house the solid muscles within that lend him this speed and power, the sculpted mass of muscle again hidden under that downy layer of fur and skin.

Being half-Leonal, the felines facial features are more resembling of a Human or Elf. While his skull is still somewhat stout and rounded, aiding a powerful bite, it is still heavy with the facial features recognised in humanoids. Adding to this is the fact that the fur upon his face especially is much thinner than everywhere else, giving a clear view toward the pale skin laying beneath. Set deep within his face sparkle Emerald green eyes and, when catching the light, one could easily think them to have an inner light of their own. His night-vision is certainly not lacking either. His nose, while small and rounded, like a button tip, is completely hairless. at each side of his head, seen under or through the long, silken but messy in appearance hair, pointed eartips often twitch or droop depending upon current circumstances. Anyone paying close enough attention to the man will note his senses, sight/hearing/smell, are all sharp and tempered.

Though often quiet and contemplative, if he ever offers a grin further indication of his heritage can be seen in the two canines that present themselves. Though having less teeth than most creatures, his canines are long and sharp, easily enough to rip or dig into flesh and perhaps harder substances.

Often flickering and swaying about behind him sprouts a lengthy, furred tail. Around 2 and a half feet in length, it is often an indication to his current mood or status. As with all cat-like creatures, emotions like irritation can be seen in a more angry whisp or flick of the appendage. From  tip to base, a random pattern of dark, near black, stripes criss-cross and course the tails length, the pattern itself unique to him much like a fingerprint.

Lights and anything else can be answered by me, the player, if and when needed.
I will add, however, that extreme torture and dismemberment and other generally 'sick' stuff is extremely unlikely and certainly not something i consider entertaining.
