Setting: Modern Fantasy SettingsAppearance[Apparent age]
Full Name: Shiloh
Nickname/Alias: Shi
Date of Birth: December 28
Gender: Male
Species: Animal-turned-Human
Job/Occupation: None
When looking at him, he appears around the age of a teenager, though his personality makes him seem younger.
[Age]
This is a bit difficult to answer. As a cat, he was 15 years old, which for a cat is rather old. Since becoming a human, his body appears to be that of a teenager. So, anywhere from 15-17 is his go-to age.
[Weight]
130 lbs. (this could be inaccurate, as I'm not sure how to relate weight to muscle mass)
[Height]
5’ 3”
[Build]
Shiloh is muscular in the way a cat would be. He is lean rather than massive. This can cause others to underestimate him because he does not appear very muscular. However, appearances can be deceiving. Shiloh is rather strong despite his lack of muscle mass, and since he has a small frame overall, he is also quite agile.
[Eye Colour]
Dark chocolate brown
[Eye Shape]
His eyes are always wide with curiosity.
[Hair Colour]
Light brown
[Hair Style]
Shiloh's hair is different lengths depending on where you're looking. His bangs are medium length, and they fall just low enough to cover the very tops of his eyes. On the sides of his head, around where his ears would be, his hair is a bit longer, stopping just at his jawline. His hair in the back is shorter, ending at the base of his skull.
[Dominant Hand]
Right
[Skin Tone]
He is quite pale since he hasn’t exactly had much time to be in the sun with so much skin showing.

More Information
-
Shiloh has a tenor-pitched voice and is usually soft-spoken unless excited. He does have moments where he will whine or talk childishly.
[Usual Clothing]
Shiloh’s choice of clothing varies; he’ll wear most things as long as he thinks they look good. However, his clothes of choice are mostly in shades of brown or black/gray, and he doesn’t wear very many t-shirts or things such as that.
Appearances are very important to Shiloh, and he likes to look nice. The set of clothing he is seen wearing the most is a dark brown, long sleeved shirt that’s a bit skintight, a lighter, button-up vest that he keeps unbuttoned casually, a pair of tan pants, and a pair of black converse.
[Accessories]
He has a brown vest that he likes to wear with most things and is sometimes seen wearing gloves, hats, scarves, or armbands of various types. He has also been seen wearing hipster glasses on the occasion.
[Scars/tattoos/piercings]
Shiloh does not have any tattoos or piercings, but his torso and arms are covered in scars of various sizes.
His most notables scars are on his stomach, side, and right arm. The ones on his stomach are 4 that appear to be claw marks, crossed in an ‘X’ pattern. The one on his side goes from his left collarbone, arcs to his side, then ends on his hip bone on the same side. Finally, the scar on his right arm goes from his shoulder down to his elbow. He also has a faint scar on his left forearm that looks like a bite mark.
These scars were received during his time as a stray cat, from fighting and protecting others.
[Extra]
Being a cat turned human, Shiloh still bears his ears and tail. They are predominantly a dark brown color, except for his right ear which is white at the very tip.

Currently a work in progress, I'll add it later.

Psychology
-
[Fears]
It might be cliché, but Shiloh has a large disliking of water. So large in fact, that it appears to scare him. When asked why, Shiloh's response is 'it's just gross.' He will, of course, take necessary showers and baths, as he dislikes being dirty. His 'fear' has more to do with bodies of water such as rivers, lakes, oceans, etc. It's possible that he doesn't know how to swim properly, and that's why he dislikes them so much.
Another fear of his is his friend, Flame, getting hurt or killed. The thought absolutely terrifies him and if he feels like Flame is in danger, he will automatically rush to his side. Other than that, he is practically fearless. Stupidly so, in fact. Tone it down a bit buddy.
[Secrets]
Shiloh doesn't really keep any secrets. Neither his own nor those of others. He doesn't think he should hide things from his friends, and he regards everyone as his friend. Because of this, his actual friends usually don't trust him with their secrets.
[Intelligence]
To be honest, Shiloh isn't that smart. He's very easily confused and even if you tell him the answer to his countless questions he probably won't understand the answer. However, most of the things he gets confused about are human things, like taking actual showers instead of licking yourself, sexual orientation, and mating without the intention of having children.
[Eating habits]
Shiloh really doesn't eat that much. He eats two meals a day, one right after he wakes up, and one a bit before he goes to sleep. This isn't because he wants to starve himself or doesn't like food; in fact, he loves food. He simply gets full easily, and it takes a long time for him to get hungry again.
[Sleeping Habits]
Where he currently lives, Minna's house, he sleeps on a sofa or "love seat." Despite his small stature, when he sleeps on it, he has to scrunch up his body a bit. He sleeps on his side with his knees bent and his arms pulled to his chest like he's hugging himself (if there is someone or something near him as he sleeps, he will probably hug them/it instead). If he's in a place where he doesn't have to curl up, he sleeps on his back with his legs crossed at the ankles and his arms behind his head.
He also has a habit of mumbling incoherently and tossing and turning violently in his sleep. This usually results in him falling off the sofa.
[Socializing habits]
Shiloh will talk to anyone who looks friendly enough, and it doesn't take much for him to open up to strangers. He is very easily excitable and talks kind of fast when he is excited.
[Group or Alone]
Despite his socializing habits, he prefers to be alone. Not because he hates people or anything, he just loves the peace of it, the silence. In the end, despite his talkative nature, he is an introvert at heart.
[Leader or follower]
Follower, for the most part. He doesn't trust his own judgment enough to lead anyone.
[Planned or Spontaneous]
Spontaneous. Shiloh is good at thinking on his feet and is a fantastic improviser. This makes him useful to have on a team, but he's terrible with timekeeping. Don't expect him to be the first at the rendezvous.
[Careful or Reckless]
Careful when fighting or just in general danger, but reckless when Flame is in danger, or any other situation really. He tries to keep a level head in dangerous situations so that that spontaneity comes out, but if someone he loves is in danger, he throws reason to the wind and rushes in to save them. This stupidly 'heroic' nature of his is the reason why he has so many scars.
[Optimist, Realist, or Pessimist]
He pretends to be an Optimist to keep up with the whole 'excited, happy go lucky' personality thing he's got going on, but he's really more of a realist. He tries his best to stay happy and see the positive side of things, but it's hard to do that all the time. As a former stray, he's learned that life isn't all sunshine and rainbows, so sometimes his serious side has to come out.
[Hobbies/Recreation/Past-times]
Cloud watching, gathering information, being with Flame, giving people subtle fashion advice
[Pet Peeves/Stressors]
When Flame is being reckless, people with bad fashion sense
[Obsessions/Addictions]
Clothing, clouds
[Ambitions/Desires]
He doesn't have any really, he just kind of floats through life
[Prejudices]
Dogs suck.
[As seen by others]
Others either find Shiloh annoying or adorable. There are some who think differently, but those are the main opinions. He tries his best to be excited around others, and for Shiloh, excited means a bit childish. Childish behavior is usually seen in one of those two ways.
[As seen by self]
Shiloh actually thinks very lowly of himself. He believes he is annoying because of his childish habits, and he hates how he doesn't really know anything. This is why he's constantly asking questions. He hopes that maybe the new knowledge will help him to more wise and mature. -

His feet. For now, Shiloh just walks everywhere. He doesn't trust cars.
Shiloh was just recently a cat. He doesn't have a job, and he didn't go to school. He was a cat. In the future, he would love to be able to go to school and increase his knowledge about the world. However, he is currently being taught the most basic needs for human living. He finds those kinds of things more important at the moment.
Later on in life, when he is used to a human existence, he plans to get a job, go to school, and do all of those other 'exciting human things.' For now, he stays at home. -
