P E R S O N A L I T Y





Tolerant but Firm
He is able to tolerate other cats annoying antics and keep his cool, making him rarely seen screaming or shouting about something or other. This makes him a great choice for dealing with younger members of the empire who need training or generally just need being cared for as he is also firm and makes sure they keep by the rules. Being tolerant doesn't mean he doesn't get mad. His temper will start to build up over time and eventually results in explosive outbursts that can result in violence. Luckily he has learnt when this is about to happen so he just secludes himself away until his temper has gone down.

Caring
Even though he is young, he has fatherly instincts. He loves taking care of and playing with younger cats and he can't wait to gain an apprentice.

Charming 
He's a handsome fellow, and is considered a ladies man, even back in the coliseum he had many female admirers but, unfortunately, has never had a mate. When he meets new cats, male or female, he always tries to make a good first impression and treating others as he would wish to be treated. He can also be quite flirtatious when meeting females he wishes to get to know better and maybe even to have a chance at getting a mate.

Relaxed
This cat is super laid back. One of his favourite things to do when he isn't needed, even if its just for an hour or so, is to find an open area, away from the hustle and bustle of empire life and just lay down and watch the world go by and cooling his temper if he has had a rough day in the empire and doesn't want to explode in front of everyone.

Brave
He will defend his empire if it means risking his own life. If the Air Empire is under attack he will do whatever he can do defend it and to keep everyone within it safe and out of harms way

Witty
Saevio is always up for a laugh, maybe even the odd practical joke now and again, and always likes to make people smile.

[NEEDS REWRITING OMG] 




H I S T O R Y




[ORIGINS]

Saevio's ancestors didn't originate from around Massilia as you may have expected, nor did they come from anywhere in Europe. Not much is known about his very early relatives, but what is known is that before arriving in Italy his parents were born and raised in Alexandria, Egypt.  

His mother, Hathor, and father, Sobek, named after ancient Egyptian deities, were kept as family pets by a wealthy family during the reign of Ptolemy XII (a few years prior to Cleopatra VII's rule), during which time an alliance was formed between Rome and Alexandria in 63 BC. This alliance between the two cities would have aided the travels of the human family and their prized pets from Egypt to Rome once the reign of Ptolemy XII ended in 51 BC. The journey across the Mediterranean Sea took several months and towards the end of their travels, little baby Saevio was born along with a stillborn sibling who may have died due to the stress of travelling while Hathor was pregnant. Luckily, Saevio survived and landed in Rome with his parents only a short time after his birth. 

The small family and their cats travelled across Italy in search of a means of earning a decent wage to survive as they had left most of their wealth back in Egypt with other family, arriving in Rome with  enough cash to live a simple life (though not with as much comfort that their old life provided). After several weeks of travelling they arrived in Massilia where they decided to settle down and re-build their wealth. At the time the only way they could do this was by training their pets to become Coliseum fighters and pit them against other cats in combat in the hopes of them winning and earning a small amount of money. They were reluctant to put their beloved animals in such a situation but it was necessary for them all to survive. 

[WELCOME TO MASSILIA]

When Saevio was around three months of age, he and his mother, father, and human family had integrated themselves into Massilian life and had earned themselves a comfortable lifestyle. Saevio had shown potential to become a Hunter from the way chased vermin around the city and helped keep the pest population under control and earning a few coins in return; when he was 5 months old he entered into training with the other tribunes around his age.  

During training Saevio began to discover what his best skills were and how to utilise them to his maximum ability to ensure a fight in the Coliseum and even against these cats outside the city his mentor referred to as "Empire scum". He focused mostly on improving his stamina, speed, and tactics in battle to out-pace, out-wit, and to tire his opponents out before tearing them apart. This served him well during training and impressed his mentor and in turn began to affectionately call him "son" which Saevio didn't mind, although he obviously knew who his actual parents were. 

Soon after he turned 2 years of age, Saevio began his life as a Hunter. 

[LIFE OF A HUNTER] 

While Saevio was now an official Hunter, his owners still placed him in Coliseum battles so he could bring in some extra cash. It was good in a way, it meant more practice against hostile animals that he was bound to meet outside city walls. With every fight he won Saevio was becoming a better and better fighter than most cats his age and, despite his young age, he was fast becoming a truly valuable asset to the Bounty Hunter team and a respected member as well. 

It wasn't just Saevio who was pitted against wild cats in the Coliseum, his parents also had to earn their keep. In doing so the once regal, unscathed cheetahs were now battered and scared, though that didn't affect the relationship their close-nit family had together. One day however, the inevitable happened. Saevio's father was killed in a battle that Saevio and his mother witnessed. His mother, stricken with grief, abandoned her son and left the city without warning. His whole ordeal put stress on Saevio's emotional state and became more cold and unfeeling, in a way it was a blessing in disguise at it turned into an even more ruthless fighter and Hunter. His owners made the tough decision to sell him to a handler who specialised in taking care of more vicious cats since after the death of his parents, Saevio was even becoming hostile towards the people who had taken care of him his whole life. His new handler continued to put him in fights, and more frequently than before. 

[CHANGE OF PACE]

Despite starting life in MassiliaSaevio is not a Hunter now, no. So how did he end up in the empires? Well you can thank an unnamed black tiger for that. Saevio and the beast tore at each other within an inch of their lives in a Coliseum battle, and against all odds Saevio lost and the new-comer walked away as the victor. Saevio left the Coliseum for the last time, with the scars that now adorn his pelt 'till this day. The once king of the Coliseum was now nothing more than the dust he walked in, at least in the eyes of his handler. Almost immediately after the battle Saevio was kicked out of the city in disgrace. His handler didn't even look back at the cheetah as he walked back into Massilia, leaving Saevio in a world that was all but unknown to him.  

He wasn't scared. He was a champion fighter for Sators sake, he wasn't afraid of this new place. He knew how to take care of himself and how to deal with any threats that came his way. So no, he wasn't scared, he was however confused and enraged. 


[THE EMPIRES]

Recognised as a Hunter cat, Saevio was ambushed by a group of cats who would eventually turn out to be from Air Empire. He put up a good fight, scaring a couple of the cats, but there were just too many of them to fight on his own. He was pinned to the ground when they began to interrogate him; "Who are you?" "Why are you in out Empire?" "Why aren't you back in the city you Hunter scum?" Were but a few questions that were spat at him as the group of cats closed in on the cheetah. Saevio explained what happened to him in Massilia and that he vowed never to return unless it was to take revenge on those who physically and mentally scared him. Reluctantly that group of felines took the stranger back to Air Empire Camp where he was taken to the leader at the time, Valon. He agreed to let the ex-Hunter into their ranks after a sort of trial period where Saevio would be under close inspection before he officially became one of them. During this time Saevio began to rediscover his old self and became less aggressive after each passing day and even found himself going days without thinking about his old life in the city. After a few months in the empire he was welcomed into their ranks as a Gladiator and he finally felt as though he was now a part of a family he could be proud of. Saevio vowed to serve his empire and those whose loyalty lies within all the empires, even if it meant putting his life on the line. 


[TL;DR]

Saevio was born to a pair of Egyptian cheetahs in a wealthy family on the crossing between Africa and Italy. In order to earn more money Saevio began training to become a coliseum fighter at a very young age. Using his speed, stamina, and wits to his advantage he excelled in training and became a hunter at 2 years of age (having trained with several cats you may know including Shen and Poseidon who were good friends at the time). Saevio witnessed the death of his father in the coliseum, as did his mother who in her grief stricken state fled the city and hasn't been seen since. The emotional stress turned him colder and harder which in turn made him a better hunter; a blessing in disguise. In his last coliseum fight Saevio was almost killed leaving him with the scars he bares today. He was pulled from the fight at the last moment and his handler, outraged over money they lost, kicked him out into the wilderness. Saevio was ambushed by a group of Empire cats, recognising the scent of the city on his pelt. After some interrogation they took him back to Air Empire where he was allowed to stay under close inspection. He was eventually allowed to join the ranks of the Gladiators and with each passing day of freedom from the city we began to rediscover his old self again.

:bulletwhite: :bulletblue: "He's... difficult to say the least. I feel like if I get to know him better he could be a really nice guy but right now he is being a bit arrogant. But I will try to interact with him more and hopefully we can become friends in the future."

:star-half: Lunar [EBC Application]
:bulletblue::bulletblue:"My beloved apprentice! I hope I can do our empire proud by teaching her all she needs to know for when she becomes a gladiator. I have faith in her."

 :heart:Blair [Blair the Fierce]
ENTRY 1: :bulletblue::bulletblue: :bulletyellow::bulletyellow: :bulletpurple: "She's new to the empire and she seemed really nervous bless her, she even took a swipe at me because she was so on edge! But she's really a wonderful feline, and real pretty too even with her scars (they even match mine!). I'd love to talk to her again."

ENTRY 2: :bulletgreen: :bulletpink::bulletpink: :bulletpurple: :bulletwhite::bulletwhite: "We went out hunting together and for a cat that had never hunted deer before  she did an absolutely stunning job! But when we returned I... I don't know... maybe it was the circumstances but something made me want to pour my heart out to her. I asked her if she wanted to be my mate and I think it scared her, I guess she's not in the same mindset I am. She ran away out of the camp into the forest. I didn't go after her, I'll wait until she makes a decision."

ENTRY 3: :heart: :bulletgreen::bulletgreen: :bulletpink::bulletpink: :bulletpurple::bulletpurple: "I never knew before now but me life was missing something, and now I realise it was Blair. Blair was the missing piece to my puzzle and I feel as though now my life can finally begin! I love her more than any thing and any one I know and I'll never give her up and try my best never to hurt her as long as I live! I know it wasn't the best timing considering the imminent war between the Empires and the Hunters, and now that I'm training in Lightning Empire I miss her minute of everyday. For the sake of our future family, I have to do this. I'll be back soon my love, don't worry."

Spurius  [Spurius Reff]
:bulletwhite: :bulletblue: "A bit rough around the edges in terms of his appearance with all those burns, but they haven't seemed to have affected his attitude. He seems like a stand-up guy and even though I've just met him I feel as though he's pretty trustworthy as well."

Alexandros  [Alexandros of Air Empire]
:bulletwhite: :bulletblue: "Huh, funny little guy. He doesn't seem to talk much, I guess he's a little shy. Even so, seeing the job he and Spirius did on my new armour shows the kid definitely has some skills!"

The only way I'll ever return to the city is for me to seek revenge on the Hunters for mocking me and making my leave from the city that much easier."

:bulletred::bulletred: "For as long as I live I won't forget what you did. You gave me these scars and so help me you'd better wish I don't see you again, and if I do I will unleash hell upon you. The whole of the Bounty Hunters will pay for what you did."

Saevio offers the regular bounty reward for Gladiators:
-> 3EP
-> 2,000 Gold
*He may be worth more since he used to be a prized fighter in the coliseum*



A R M O U R  A N D  I T E M S





Armour
Being an experienced gladiator, his armour has been upgraded as such.
-> It is made of a copper/steel alloy making it lightweight yet durable and resistant to rusting and corrosion, also hence the slight brown colouration.
-> It is strong though not as strong as other metals, the most important thing is that it must me lightweight as Saevio relies in speed and stamina more than his strength.
-> Metal plates are held together with leather.
-> Tiger's eye gems are embedded in the plates, a level up from his old amber pieces.
-> The raised plates along his back act as spikes of sorts. They cover the scars on his back he received while he was a hunter in the coliseum. This part is RARELY worn, only really when he his heading into battle against other empires or the hunters.


Items


- He and Blair wear matching mate bangles. He rarely wears it due to the risk of loosing or damaging it so he only wears it to gatherings and other formal events.
