⋆｡༄｡⋆ " willard ! " a whalekit application ⋆｡༄｡⋆ ༄ I'm so sorry to the host, this is gonna be long :') I like to write ༄ ➢ prologue - table of contents ➛ i. about the applicant ➛ ii. details about the kit + longevity ➛ iii. identity + orientation ➛ iv. personality ➛ v. trivia + accessories ➛ vi. family dynamics ➛ vii. rp + codeword ➛ viii. other ➢ i. about the applicant ༄ @-cicadadays- + cicada + she/her ༄ hello! i am cicada, an artist who draws many things, but mostly draws silly little cat creatures and my 2 original characters + their family. I have many interests that are always changing, so it’s hard to name one. i previously roleplayed in the silver shores and various small Roleplays on my old account that is no longer active. even before that, i did years of roleplay on a certain square app with questionable management, on games such as the warrior cats lake territory game that has changed names, i just forgot what name it changed to :’). I’m returning to scratch after a LONG break, so activity may be slow at first as I get back into posting + roleplay. However, I’ll mostly be active on weekends and try to log in once or twice on a weekday during/after daily activities (I’m not good at ratings, so anywhere from 6.5 to 7.5). ➢ ii. details about the kit ༄ i am applying for the darling Whalekit! ༄ this little goober immediately leapt out to me. I was looking through the open litters and this little girl immediately called to me. She’s just so adorable. I also showed her to a close friend of mine and asked her what she thought of the litter and she prompted me to submit an application for her due to our combined love for the little girl. ༄ [longevity] i will try my best to keep this kit alive for as long as possible. obviously, the nature of this roleplay is that things don’t always go as planned, but i will try my best to not get her terminate her and keep her until she’s an adult. I might take breaks of a week or two, but i will try to notify beforehand so she doesn’t accidentally get deleted. ➢ iii. identity ༄ agab : afab ༄ identification : demigirl ༄ prns : she, they, it ➛ these are her preferred pronouns, but she doesn’t mind anything fem or gender neutral (masc is a definite no) ➛ she prob starts to identify with the demigirl label mid-apprenticeship (may use s/t/i earlier for simplicity) ༄ attraction [R] : lithoromantic [feels attraction, but no interest in reciprocation] ༄ attraction [S] : ace [little to no attraction] ➛ the little attraction she feels for both is towards males, but I plan on primarily putting her in platonic relationships. If a romantic relationship does occur, i'll go with the flow, but i'm not aiming for one. ➢ iv. personality ༄ personality type / mbti : infp [mediator] ༄ positive traits - empathetic, resilient, honest ༄ [+] detailed - I imagine her as the therapist friend in your friend group. She's very good at connecting with people closely on an emotional level. Even when people are attempting to give her the cold shoulder, she still persists in trying to find out what's wrong. Over time, she eventually gets even better as this as she faces her social fears and learns to just be herself and share her thoughts with others in the most genuine way to help them and connect with them deeply on an emotional level. ༄ neutral traits - cautious, heedful, insightful ༄ [=] details - you may have noticed that all of these are related to examining things in close detail or approaching them with a good understanding. Neutral personality traits are hard, ok?( /silly) Anyway, to me, it comes across as a very thorough individual. They look many times before they leap, making sure everything's safe and "good to go." As the oldest, this does well in contributing to helping the other siblings not do anything she deems too risky or unsafe, such as leaving camp. She may seem overproductive, but she's just trying to keep everyone safe. Like a traffic guard or playground monitor, almost. ༄ negative traits - timid, inflexible, worrisome ༄ [-] details - I imagine they don't respond well to social situations. I wrote an entire blurb about her and her potential arc in terms of social interaction on paper, but I'm not sure how well it will show in the project, so I'll just type it on here. It is not a social cat; quite the opposite, actually. growing up, they have few close friends, including their siblings, but handle interactions beyond that clumsily. She fears about not just social interactions, but other things, particularly her siblings and close friends. Them sneaking out of camp or eating prey that could be poisoned could nearly give her a heart attack. In addition, it obviously refuses to indulge in these dangerous behaviors itself. However, as she progresses through life, she slowly gets better at interacting with others. obviously, nothing's set in stone, but as time passes in the roleplay, she slowly begins to become not exactly perfect (N+C)
(cont. from Instructions) at interacting, but much better than before. (this one above is the longest one you have to read, dw ^^") ➢ v. trivia ༄ my favorite category! This is gonna be fun :] ༄ favorites - ➛ time - night ➛ weather - rain ➛ flower - lilac ➛ food - seagull ➛ sound - silence occasionally interrupted by bird calls ➛ smell - nothing too strong ➛ activity - sitting alone/with siblings and thinking ➛ color - seafoam green ༄ dislikes - extreme sunlight, strong floral smells (I.e. lavender), being in crowded places too long, ༄ vc - gangle from tadc [tragedy mask as app + kit, ep 4 shift manager as ranger/warrior] ༄ scent - probably something very light. maybe a slightly salty sea breeze scent ༄ theme songs - outliars and hyppocrates: a fun fact about apples [Will Wood], Willard! [Will Wood], um, it's kind of a lot [Will Wood] (this one's a kinda considering she's lithoromantic... if we were talking about platonic love than yes), Goodbye Sengen [Chinozo] (also a kinda). {I just like will wood's music okay ^^"} ༄ thoughts - " what would it be like to be a fish? just swimming so freely... but there's sharks and dolphins to worry about. it would be a lot more peaceful than being in urchinclan. i'd like to be a fish. it'd be nice. maybe a minnow so I can run from predators. ah, what a peaceful existence..." -- random nighttime thought ༄ accessories - i'm going to be honest here, i'm not sure what unofficial means so i'm gonna select 3 from the list and come up with a couple of others...? ➛ from list - seagull feathers (would be stuck among tail fur), pet rock, seashells ➛ not off of list - like fish scales...? idk, seadollar fragments, sea thrift blossoms ➛ please bear with me, I’m new to this system of accessorizing ^^” ➢ vi. family dynamics ➛ overall - they’re very protective of all of their family members, as they are some of the only people they’re close with. She often goes out of her way to try and deter the others from partaking in dangerous actions. This is mostly with her siblings, as she’s the oldest, but she’s also expressed some concerns about her father. It’s aware it can’t do anything to stop a full-grown cat, but tries to keep everyone safe anyways. ➛ siblings - some of the only cats she’s close with. Therefore, they’re very protective of them. It tries to be gentle when playfighting with them, especially those on the younger end of the litter. She attempts to talk them out of behaviors like sneaking out of camp or getting near ledges out of fear they’ll get injured. This’ll likely lead to them being annoyed by her actions, but she’s just a little kit trying her best to keep everyone dear to her safe. ➛ goldensoul - father - whale is also very close to their father as well as their siblings, I imagine. I feel like some of the overprotective nature of its father rubbed off on them, in terms of taking care of the siblings. She looks up to her father quite a decent bit, and sees him as someone that not only she cares about, but that cares about her. Goldensoul is one of the few cats it feels it can fully open up to. ➢ vii. rp example ➛ time - night, 4 moons or so, camp ➛ cw is marked in this format *codeword* ➛ Whalekit awoke long before dawn shed its gracious light, surrounded by the slumbering breath of its littermates. Staring around in confusion for a quick moment, they hesitantly step right outside the den, still glancing back at their siblings. She gazes around the camp, not used to the still quiet that night brings along with the darkness and frigid chill. The unique environment brought a unique comfort to the young kit. It was used to the buzz of the camp's occupants partaking in the typical events; banter, arguments, sharing of prey, the fights of claws and fangs that occasionally occurred among the warriors. However, the stillness allowed them to finally take in the full beauty of the camp. While she heard some of the apprentices loudly remarking about the other clans seeing their stretch of beach as "bland," she could see the true beauty of the expanse when there wasn't a single sound besides the ruffling of seagull feathers and sound of waves washing over the beach. Away from the noise and confusion that all of those cats bring with their constant questions and requests, the beach fades into a beautiful landscape of ethereal, mysterious dark sea reflecting a sky speckled with a bright expanse of blinking stars. Finally, in this serene place, away from all of the messiness and din, a smile broke across its face. Not quite ready to return to sleep yet, she watches the stars, flecks of *gold* twinkling above, as if reminding her of something more significant to be found. ➢ viii. other ➛ this is my first application in a while... I might be rusty folks ➛ different bits and pieces of her character may have been inspired by 1. different will wood songs and 2. gangle from tadc... hyperfixations taking over [Cont. in Comments]
