Heh, you know what, the first playthrough of this I kinda skimmed but it was already too far along for my comfort when I joined the site, so I didn't touch it. I think I will this time, though.
Name: Ru Zhi
Age: 23
Species: Neko
Appearance: (I already have a specific appearance in mind and I can't find a picture that fits, so you'll have to make due with a description) A munchkin cat Nekomata; at about four foot six inches tall his height reflects this; his legs are also pretty disproportionately short to the rest of his body. His neatly trimmed black hair has a noticeable widows peak; there's a light gray spot on his bangs and along with his white-rimmed glasses it creates the effect of a white patch around his right eye. His tail and ears are entirely jet black.
Romantic Preference: We'll find out, now won't we?
Personality: Srsface all of the time, every day, to the point where it be hard to take him seriously. He can also be quite touchy and angry, although he's not going to be that threatening to anyone, really. Having been educated non-stop since childhood, he's very bright and educated in many subjects, but he doesn't know how to handle himself around others and usually just avoids them as a result. He doesn't dislike people per say and tries his best to make friends, but he was mostly alone growing up so he never really developed proper social skills.
Bio: Adopted as a kitten by a human scientist who wished to study his deformity and primarily raised in a laboratory. He doesn't really know much of where he came from before that, being so young when he was taken in. The only people he had contact with during that time where the scientist and two other nekos with the same condition. He wasn't ever cruel to them per say, and even treated them with a certain degree of kindness, but while they longed to seem him as a father figure he treated it simply as a working relationship.
Still, Ru Zhi modeled his personality on the man like he would have any paternal figure, and threw himself into learning all that he could about the world. The scientist actively encouraged this and piled study material on Ru until he was near exhaustion, but as a result he grew to be a real Renaissance Man, hoarding any and all knowledge he could. Although he was never allowed to leave the laboratory, he hungered to see the outside world and apply this knowledge for himself. When the three Nekos where young teens, the authorities came knocking on the scientist's door and arrested him for conducting illegal activities. He was suddenly cast out into the world with very little knowledge of how to survive, and found his way to Alber. The years since have been a struggle for him. He still wishes to track down the other Nekos he grew up with, who he considers his siblings.
