Cerro, Okatsu

[attr="class","temptitle"]Personality

[attr="class","temptabinf"]Okatsu is a pretty timid and cautious guy due to his past. He is terrified of loud noises and often panics when something negative happens, even if that negative thing is someone getting annoyed with him over something he did. He does not remember anything about his past except for being in a lab, nor does he have any recollection of having a family either. He is someone who flees at the first sign of trouble rather than try to fight, though when cornered and unable to run he is also someone one wouldn't want to get into a scuffle with.

Despite his innocent expression, the man can become quite dangerous and uses no weapons as well. He is stronger than he looks so one mustn't underestimate him either. However, when he is not being threatened in any way, he is a curious and happy fellow. He loves to explore new places as much as he can, fear of falling from high places nonexistent. He, in fact, loves to be up high and loves to play a bit on the dangerous side with carefree movements on surfaces that could be unstable. He does not know much about the outside world, so his curiosity about everything can range from what a phone is to everything else. He can also be very naive and gullible about things as well, to the point of possibly being kidnapped with just a few words and he will follow.

However, even he has a dark side... Depression plagues him from time to time, severe depression at that so others would have to keep sharp objects away from him. He also is a paranoid man, having abandonment issues and terrified at the thought of being cast away. He often thinks himself useless or trash for whatever had happened to him before he found himself on the streets of London...

[attr="class","temptitle"]Appearance

[attr="class","temptabinf2"]Okatsu stands at 5'8" and has a slender yet athletic build. He is someone that a person could easily pick out of a crowd with his fiery red hair and his blue eyes. Both colors are natural, yet it's his feline tail and ears that do give it away that he is not a normal person. His eyes are really something that set him aside from everyone else. Back when he was being experimented on in a classified lab from the age of three, his eyes glow 24/7 and one can usually tell if he is upset or happy by how dull or bright the glow gets in his eyes. His ears and tail, however, are both natural to him; he was born with those features and finds it perfectly fine to show them off out in public rather than hide them despite the looks he can get. Though he occasionally wears a beanie to hide them from time to time to avoid being picked on. He only has one set of ears as well, and that is his feline ears; any sort of 'human' ears to hide the fact that he has feline ears are nonexistent. He refuses to cut his hair and so it remains long and can be accidentally mistaken as female some days. He is constantly seen wearing shirts with long sleeves or even a jacket almost every day due to insecurity and his own traumatic past. However, a turtleneck is most commonly sported by him so as to help hide scars on the back of his neck he was forcibly given by someone he had once trusted. He wears a silver ring on a silver chain around his neck at all times, a gift he was given by someone he had met in his past back in America. When in his animal forms, his hair and eye colors, along with the glow from his eyes, transfer over to those forms, also making it easy to find him when not human.

[attr="class","temptitle"]History

[attr="class","temptabinf3"]Okatsu remembers nothing about his past except for his horrors in a lab he was raised in since the age of three years. He was known as Project 8976 back then and was not given his real name except for when he did something that the scientists liked. What he doesn't know is that the scientists that experimented on murdered his parents and kidnapped him when he had just turned three. It took him about four years to finally learn how to read and write, and still does have some problems with that. He had been used in ways he wishes to not remember for the past fifteen years of his life. He had eventually snapped and murdered his caretakers and finally fled the place where he had been held captive for so long when he was seventeen.

However, just because he escaped the lab back then did not give him complete freedom. Even then he was being hunted down by others to take him back to punish for escaping. He fled more to try and escape them. Unfortunately for him, though, he knew nothing of the outside world and things spiraled down for him. He was taken in by someone whom he had instantly decided to trust, only to be betrayed and violated horribly and soon attacked to be left for dead. The only thoughts that went through his mind were what he did wrong. What had he done to deserve that? But his answer for that was soon come up with by his depression; himself. It was he who did wrong, for breathing and for just being there. He had decided to just remove himself from the world, yet when he had attempted to do so his plans were thwarted painstakingly so.

Months passed and he was still very much curious, yet still depressed, about the world around him that he did not know about. He had found himself under the care of some men who ran a garage to work on cars, as well as run an illegal dog fighting ring. He had learned to work on cars and had come to love doing it. The man that ran the entire organization had become a guardian of sorts to the young Nephilim, teaching him the ways of being a mechanic as well as how to survive at least.

However, not everything lasts... He had been found again and the man who had become a guardian to him whisked him away before those sent after him could grab him. He took Okatsu to the docks and paid a pal of his to smuggle him away, but not before he gave Okatsu his silver ring and a picture of a man with white hair who could supposedly help him. The teen had been ushered onto the ship that was on it's way to a port in London, having managed to flee to Liverpool after his escape, with other illegal goods stashed inside, and soon enough the ship had left the port and he was on his way to another strange world for him. He was given food and water regularly to ensure that he stayed alive, but he barely ate and remained curled up in a spot he had found for himself to remain hidden in. He'd been abandoned again by someone he had trusted most.

By the time he arrived in London, England, Okatsu was nearing his eighteenth birthday. He was delivered there safely under the cover of the night, a warning to keep his ears and tail out of sight given to him before he was alone. He had no money, no place to go, and no one he knew in this city. He did not know how things were in London and was told to hide the two features that made him..him. He had already gotten the gist of how much of a freak he was due to his eyes already, if not his inability to comprehend what was happening around him. He stole a hat that'd help hide his ears and hid his tail in his pants, looking normal at least except for his eyes. He had to find a way to hide them, but again he didn't know how. In the end, he took to letting his hair cover his eyes and let his depression take over again to keep them dull.

He wandered the streets, homeless, with fear still lingering about him despite his immense curiosity about this city he was left in. He stayed in his feline form mostly in alleys to sleep and to find food; though he still has no idea how to make money, much less know how to use it, and is very cautious around people. He had temporarily forgotten about finding the man known by many names in the picture he was given to help him due to the depression clinging to him. However, by chance one day, he spotted a man that looked like the man in the picture. With caution, he approached the man in a submissive manner and cautiously told him that his guardian from Liverpool had told him to find the man in the picture to help him, which had turned out to be the very man he somehow found. He knows, eventually, that he'd be found again at some point, and that it'd only be a matter of time before he would return to being 8976. He wishes desperately that day will never come.
