Renn flicked her ears at the half-assed apology, rolling her eyes as she stormed off. Animals of that size needed to watch where they were going - or at least move with more of a purpose.

She forced herself to relax, being this tightly wound wasn't a good thing and she at least wanted to enjoy the day. She hadn't been able to explore the clubs around campus as much as she would have liked in her first few weeks - class had been taking it out of her and she had point-blank refused to quit, or even cut down, on training or fights so for three evenings a week she would be at the gym, one would be spent at an above-board boxing match and one would be spent at a less-than-legal backstreet MMA fight. Leaving two evenings to study and recover and her days filled with lectures and studio time.

She was sure as hell going to regret taking on so much in a month.

She shook herself out of her thoughts as the subway train pulled up, joining the mass of animals piling into the cars and snagging herself a seat. She spared a glance at the pale furred rodent next to her who seemed to be in a rather one-sided conversation with a rabbit nearby, one near enough draped around the handhold pole, before busying herself with her phone, flicking absently through her music until she found something she was in the mood for and tapping quietly against her leg to the beat.

The caracal glanced around and briefly caught sight of the lumbering feline from earlier. She half hoped he wasn't headed in her direction.

Renn Raven

Name: Renn Raven

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Bisexual

Age: 19

Species: Caracal

Diet: Carnivore

Height: 5'1

Weight:

Physique: Lanky and lean

Appearance: Renn is slim and slight, even for a caracal. She's shorter than is typical of her species; with a light tan coat, light cream, almost white, coloured paws and the usual darker markings above her eyebrows - one of which is pierced with a simple silver barbell. Her ear tufts are dark, long and well maintained and both ears are pierced with a variety of studs, hoops and chains. Her style is casual and simple - consisting of hoodies, t shirts and jeans in various shades of black and grey and adorned with rips, threadbare patches, studs and chains. Shes rarely seen without at least one earbud in her ear, plus several guitar picks stashed in the front pocket of her jeans - just in case.

Personality: Renn is feisty and firey. She refuses to take shit and be pushed around which was gotten her into trouble more times than she can count. She has a lot of pent up energy and can be unfocused and easily distracted at times but as soon as she steps into the ring it's as if a switch is flipped. She is focused, determined and disciplined - training as often as she can get away with in both boxing and mixed martial arts. She is fiercly loyal, and the few friends she has are ride or die.

History: Renn grew up an orphan. Her mother died before her first birthday and her father disappeared without a trace shortly after. Shes never really made the effort to find him, although now and then she gets curious - wondering who he is. She lived in the system up until her 18th birthday, bouncing around foster families and group homes without sticking anywhere. She developed severe anxiety which manifested itself in anger and aggression - until one of her several foster parents thought to put her into something that would put that agression to use: boxing classes at the local gym. Renn took to it instantly, finally finding something to devote herself to. After boxing for several years, she picked up mixed martial arts - discovering that she could use her small stature to her advantage.

Music also proved to be an escape for her after thrifting a battered old acoustic guitar from the side of the road. She replaced the strings and polished the wood, teaching herself through videos and free online lessons. The caracal turned into a fairly talent musician, earning herself occasional gigs at local bars and one rather memorable evening at a lively old peoples home - turned out they enjoyed classic rock ballads as much as she did.

She did well enough in school to attend university - determined to carve her own place out in the world.

Renn was already awake when her alarm went off; the phone buzzing on her nightstand although she couldn't hear it through the music blasting through her earbuds. The fight last night had done nothing to settle her nerves and she'd woken up far earlier than necessary, twitching with nervous energy. Originally she tried to get back to sleep but she was restless and that was when she turned her attention to the punching bag in the corner of her room.

She went through the methodical process of wrapping her paws and doing a quick warm-up stretch before completely laying into the faux leather. Thud, Thud, ThudThud, Thud. She matched the tempo and rhythm of her music through the playlist, only stopping when the songs started looping for the third time. She stilled the bag, breathing heavily as she removed the earbuds, only now hearing the alarm that had been going off for the last ten minutes. "Shit." She huffed, scrabbling over to silence it. Thankfully her neighbours didn't seem to mind the noise that was constantly coming from her apartment. She sat on the edge of the bed for a few minutes before resigning herself to the shower and padding through to the bathroom; paw pads quiet on the hardwood flooring. She was glad she'd managed to find an apartment on her own and didn't have to share anything.

The thought of sharing a bathroom once again made her shudder.

Renn showered quickly, not hesitating under the temperamental spray. One minute it could be hot as hell but the next, freezing cold and she didn't want to hang around longer than necessary to experience the latter. Although the shower did remind her of the group home she lived in for a while, it wasn't exactly fond memories.

She dried herself off and sat at the desk to begin the process of removing her sleeper piercings and replacing them with the metal jewellery, finishing off with clipping her usual two chairs to the two hoops at the top of her left ear. The caracal dressed, grabbing a t-shirt featuring a band she barely listened to anymore, a black and white varsity style jacket and a pair of ripped, dark grey jeans, cuffed at the ankles.

She checked herself over in the mirror, patted her pockets down for her essentials, grabbed her backpack snd headed out to the street for the short walk to the subway system. As much as she hated public transport, it was going to ve the quickest way to the university.

She tapped her card in and joined the swarm towards the platform, scowling as a much larger feline pushed past. "Hey! Watch it, dumbass." She growled under her breath and stormed past, positioning herself towards the end of the platform in hopes of avoiding the crush.

Taurus Altobelli
Location: Eukary University - Mixed Species Dorm Showers
Interactions: August Weiss

"Maybe once or twice." Taurus chuckled softly, giving August a grin. He sipped from his own cup, his eyes closing for a moment before he stood up, setting his coffee down and tugging his hoodie and t-shirt off over his head; being careful not to snag on his horns. He stretched with a groan, pausing at the kiss to his cheek with a smile. He still couldn't get used to the casual intimacy they shared - although neither was brave enough to continue that outside of the privacy of their dorm. Inter-species relationships were still frowned upon by many; carnivore and herbivore relationships even more so. Taurus hated to think of what his mother would have to say about it.

"I still don't understand how you find anything." He teased, picking up his own organised shower caddy from the bedside table, and snagging a towel from the wardrobe, and letting August lead the way out of the dorms.

"Not particularly, just the tents for today. A few interesting looking ones. I know the Warren is setting one up." Although The Warren wasn't a student bar, it tended to attract more students than The Wolf Pack on the other side of town due to it's... friendlier nature. Taurus had only been to the club a handful of times but each time he'd been the only herbivore in the room; and most times had been looked at and advanced upon as if he was a steak; rare and ready.

"Is there anything you want to check out in particular?" He asked, leaning over to return the kiss from earlier, although he pulled away quickly as he heard footsteps coming down the hall in front of them, shooting August an apologetic smile.

Taurus Altobelli
Location:Eukary University - Mixed Species Dorms
Interactions:Open

Taurus groaned softly as his alarm started blaring next to his ear, blindly reaching out to swat at his phone on the bedside table - silencing the alarm. He sat up slowly, extracting himself carefully from his canine roommate curled up again his chest. He rubbed at his eyes and tipped his head back against the headboard of the bed, giving himself a few minutes to wake up properly before slipping out of bed and stretching.

It was earlier than he would have liked, but he knew he had to be up in order to get a run in before the campus started getting busy, ready for open day at the university. Most tents had been set up the night before but people would soon start turning up to start adding decorations for the individual clubs and subjects.

He grabbed a loose pair of sweatpants and a hoodie, pulling both on and swiped a bottle of water from the mini fridge in the corner. He slipped in his earbuds and flicked to his usual running playlist as he headed out the door, glancing back at his still-sleeping roommate once before closing it behind him. He knew August likely wouldnt be awake before he got back, but even if he was he would know where he was.

He headed downstairs and took a few minutes to stretch and warm up before setting off at a fairly moderate pace. He wouldnt be pushing any personal bests, that was for sure but it was still nice to get out and get the blood flowing before what was bound to be a busy day. He jogged his way down from the dorm buildings to the main campus, nodding his head or raising a friendly hand to the few others out and about that he recognised - most from the track team.

Taurus headed out of the main campus gate towards the end of his run, making a stop for coffee and to walk back to the dorms.

He let himself back into their room, both coffee cups carefully stacked on top of each other as he closed the door behind him.

"Hey, sleepypaws, ready to get up? Open day today." He teased softly, reaching out to gently ruffle August's ears. "I got you coffee. Im going to head out for a shower in a sec."

Silas Moore

Name: Silas Moore
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Bisexual
Age: 24
Species: Tiger
Diet: Carnivore (Black Market regular)
Height: 7'
Weight: 270lbs
Physique: Athletic
Appearance: Silas is as broad and muscular as he is tall. He has large hands and feet, with bulging biceps and broad shoulders. He is a typical coat colouring for his species, with a large neck ruff that he keeps trimmed and groomed. His teeth are kept sharp and whitened regularly and his claws are professionally maintained to keep sharp and neat. Neither are as sharp as he would like but even he has to comply with the law - when it suits him. He has a nick taken out of his left ear from a fight as a youngster, and a small scar on his cheek from the same time.
BoldPersonality: Silas is loud and brash, dominating the room with his presence and demanding attention wherever he goes; not that it’s in short supply. He’s attractive and everyone knows it. He can have a bit of a cruel streak and is mostly seen as a bully.
He looks down on most, especially domestic animals and half-breeds, which was the main reason he joined the Elite’s cause.
History: Silas grew up in a normal working-class household with his two older brothers. They weren't well off by any means but they got by, especially once Alastair and Jude entered the world of work.
Silas was a troubled youngster, constantly picking fights and arguments for no reason other than sheer boredom. As the only tiger in his school, he established a hierarchy among the other carnivores and his little group was more often than not the subject of many detentions and suspensions. Despite this, he left with high enough grades to attend college, specialising in fine art and fashion design. He graduated with honours, although the connections he'd made were less than favourable. Silas managed to get himself involved in the Black Market, selling pelts and furs on a street corner; a job that paid handsomely enough to rent a studio space and it was here that he made his first collection. He fought tooth and claw to get it shown on a runway; finally some organisers took pity on him and gave him a fifteen minute slot at the end of their winter collection show and his brand exploded from there - soon becoming one of the most well known and influential designers.

Taurus Altobelli

Name: Taurus Altobelli

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Homosexual

Age: 20

Species: Highland Cow

Diet: Herbivore

Height: 6’10 (and a half, if you ask him about it)

Weight: 240lbs

Physique: Athletic/muscular

Appearance: Taurus is remarkably tall, although his horns don’t add too much to his height due to the forward-set nature of them. He’s muscled, but not overly so; it’s clear he runs frequently but would rather his nose in a book. He keeps his chestnut hair long and usually tied back with a ribbon but will often flop forward over his eyes, as is typical of his species. His hair is slightly lighter than the rest of his fur, but is still a darker shade than what his species is usually. He has round ears set just under his horns, which point forward and slightly lift at the tips. Taurus’ eyes are a deep, coffee brown but are usually partially hidden by a pair of rectangular, wire-rimmed glasses. He has a chunky gold ring through his nose.

Taurus is usually seen dressed in shirts, slacks and waistcoats, only really dressing down when he’s running.

Personality: Taurus is your typical English gentleman. Polite, well-mannered and well-spoken. He is fairly outgoing, although it’s definitely a charade, he’d much rather retire with the company of his books or a piano than socialise. He’s confident, and despite being a typical prey animal, he refuses to be intimidated. He’s charming when he wants to be, and some would say a bit of a flirt. He can be stubborn and slightly bull-headed at times; once he’s made his mind up on something it’s very, very difficult to get him to change it.

History: Taurus grew up in rural England, and moved to New York with his older brother and parents when he was 16. The move took some getting used to but he adapted quickly despite the family’s low earnings.

His father worked several labourer jobs, eventually holding down a well-paying construction role, which was the reason for their move. His mother works as a garden landscaper for the new builds in the city.
