Azrie Norsyph

Species: Mammalian
Gender: Male
Age: 30


Physical Description:
Is he cat or man? It is a contentious question, whose answer depends on the company. Generally speaking, the answer doesn’t concern him much anyway. Nor are many others overly worried about it either once he flashes a smile in their direction, even if it is accompanied by pointy canines. Standing just an inch shy of 6’, Azrie is lithe with practical working muscle. In many ways, he resembles a sphynx cat. His skin tone is the smooth and peachy shade one might expect of the species. Though he stands bipedally, his feet are those of a cat, and he has the graceful and quiet stride of one. A largely hairless tail nearly reaches the ground. His fingers end in naturally sharp and pointed dark claws, and his ears are large and almost goblinoid, with lobes stretched to accommodate gauges. His face is where his species becomes questionable; his eyes are a pale green with dark sclera and slit pupils, while his nose is flatter, wider, and has a black edge around his nostrils that turns to a line across his philtrum, lending the impression of a split upper lip. His upper lip is naturally blackened as well. Though, unlike most felines, he is hairless, he does grow hair where a human might; very pale blonde hair grows atop his head, which he tends to keep short and swept back. If you were to see him unclothed (which happens from time to time), you would see a variety of small scars on his person, as well as one larger and fresher mark around his mid-torso.

Typically, he prefers to wear tight fitting clothing, sometimes with looser accessories over the top. Many of his clothing items have cut-outs or openings in slightly interesting places - the primary ones being in the center of his chest or on his hips, or garments with only one sleeve. Usually, these are in darker shades, though he doesn’t mind an accent color or two.

Mental and/or Social Description:
If there is one thing Azrie loves, it’s a good story. Whether it’s his to tell or someone else’s, he finds great joy both in the sharing of it and in the choices and actions that create them. Almost as much, he loves good company. He is a highly social individual, who thrives in social situations and even, sometimes, with an audience. Fortunately, these circumstances are typically easy for him to find; he has a natural talent for capturing the attention and even affections of other creatures, both humanoid and beast. Unfortunately, these pieces of his personality have, in the past, led him to some less than savory places, activities, and employment, sometimes in the effort to seek others’ approval.

Time, experience, and age (and perhaps a short stint or two in prison) have taught him much. Nowadays, he finds himself much less concerned about others’ opinions or dangerous thrills just for the tale. The true turning point, however, was his recent injury. This is one story he does not like to tell, or even recall, but as with many such events, it inspired a change. Now, he has come to the Labs, looking for a fresh start and, perhaps, a change of pace.

Traits:

Heart of the Mother
The sound of a crying baby (animal or critter) just melts your heart, and you have to help them. You just can’t help it, they’re so cute!

Phobia (his own blood, sometimes others’)
Absolute mindless terror of a particular thing. You will do anything in your power to avoid this thing, no matter the circumstances. You could go so far as to jump out a 12 story window to get away from that itsy bitsy spider.

Feline Curiosity
You’re not just curious, you’re curious to a fault. When something catches your attention, you just have to investigate, even if it’s not a good idea.

You’re very attractive and people like the way you look. You may get some unwanted attention, but in general, people are charmed by your good looks and are (usually) kinder to you.
