Appearance:

Aradesh is physically imposing, being larger and more heavily muscled than the majority of his race. His face is an impassive mask, rarely showing anything other than determination. The catfolk's has dark brown fur, with an only slightly lighter patch of orange from the underside of his chin down to his belly and faintly visible black spots along his back. He wears thick hide armor for the majority of the day.

Backstory:

"The elders are the mind and the body and I am but the claws and the fangs. I do not hesitate and I do not question the wisdom of the elders; I exist merely to strike upon their command. Obedience is the greatest virtue. I possess ferocious strength, but strength without the courage to wield it is meaningless. It is my honor to serve the elders and to give my life for theirs."

Aradesh repeated that manta twice daily, once upon rising and once more just before slumber, for most of his life. It had been drilled into him from a time before he was old enough to even speak. And it is the only truth that he has ever known. Since he was but a cub he was trained to kill with naught but his bare claws, if need be, to willfully serve the tribe as his family has done for generations. The warrior is no silent predator. He does not stalk. He does not hunt. It is his pride to serve as bodyguard and enforcer to the elders of the clan. The moment any of them indicate their will, Aradesh pounces without an ounce of hesitation.

Personality:

Aradesh is unwaveringly loyal. True to his mantra he does not question the will of the elder, and would never impose personal morals upon his duty. He understands that his powerful appearance is intimidating and is not afraid to use that to his advantage to dissuade would-be attackers. Aradesh is always honest and direct as he has never seen a reason to mislead others. Having little education outside of combat, he can be a little slow to grasp complex subjects.
