Name: GremlinNicknames: Remmy, Grembleton, That Thing
Breed: Peterbald
Attached to: Currently none
Alignment: Chaos
Fav. Food: Likes warm food a lot
Hated Food: None: beggars can't be choosers.
Hobbies:
Cat Snatching: Gremlin's favorite activity in the entire world is hunting for kitties (typically real cats, though he isn't above trying for Mauvians) that he can liberate from humans. Whether they are actual strays or pampered kittypets, Gremlin wants to whisk them away from their norm and bring them to this trill forest where they actually have to hunt to survive but will be free from human oppression and the dangers of the city. He doesn't actually spend much time in this forest himself, since there's... not much to do there, but cat-kind will be better if they separate themselves from the people lording over them. There do seem to be a lot of other, bigger animals out there, though... Huh.
Dumpster Diving: Above all else, he is a scavenger. Gremlin will dig for food and spare parts, and scraps of fabric to build his nest. Did you see he was naked? He needs to keep warm too, you know! Gremlin is actually part ferret, so he construes most things as 'useful' and hides a lot of junk tucked away in cubbies and crevices where most people won't find or disturb them. Even though he gets extremely offended on the off-chance he realizes one of his caches has been disturbed, he has so much stuff and in so many places that he can't usually tell when something is missing.
Swimming: Despite having no fur, his skin is actually more difficult to maintain than your average cat. Naked kitties are oily, and this attracts dirt and grime and stink that they can't quite lick away. Gremlin likes to bathe in nice ponds and lakes (rivers tend to be too cold for him) and use the grass to scrub himself off with a good roll around. 'Clean' isn't the word he'd use for it, but it's still better than being covered in dumpster filth. And if he's enjoying a nice, sunny bird bath and a little flying snack comes by, all the better.
Virtues:
Patience: Gremlin hasn't adapted much to 'having a purpose,' so he still exists in a state where he is content to wait for things to come to him. He can be as still as a statue and as quiet as a mouse for hours on end, sitting tucked out of sight and watching for anything that may be of use or interest. Gremlin is in no hurry. He has no reason to be. Typically sits atop walls or cars and waits for potential senshi to wander past, rather than actively seeking them out. Same as when he's looking for a snack. A bird will fly by or a mouse will scuttle past eventually. Tends to be very patient and forgiving with other Mauvians, especially. **Not very patient when dealing directly with humans, but is patient in terms of things happening around him.
Persistant: When something is worth having, Gremlin isn't inclined to just let it go. He doesn't need to make an acquisition as soon as he sees something, but he tucks it away in his memory to be sure to scoop up later. He has an amazing memory (how else is he supposed to keep up with all of his caches) and rarely forgets things he is interested in, whether it's obtaining a person, a stray cat, or remembering the best places to snack. He can take no for an answer today... But he'll be back the next day. Send him away as often as you like: he'll be offended, but he accepts it and will continually try to win over things he wants.
Flaws:
Aggressive: Gremlin hates... most things, to be honest. He's not thrilled with how pets/animals are treated. He despises how disrespectful humans are to everything around them. Hates noisy cars and smelly trash and living in a city, and he is mean to everyone because of the part they play in that. He is typically more verbally aggressive than physically aggressive (more likely to snap insults than swipe at someone), but that doesn't mean he won't lash out if he thinks he can get away with it. Gremlin sort of has this expectation that everyone and everything will be cruel to him, so he is always, always, always prepared to be cruel first. Other Mauvians are typically exempt.
Self-depreciative: Playing into the 'expecting others to be cruel to him' is Gremlin's own sad, depreciative thoughts. He is ugly and crippled and filthy and mean and worthless. Why shouldn't he expect anyone else to see him as such and act out toward him? He doesn't have the glossy coat of other kitties. He doesn't have the quick wit of a fully realized Mauvian. He can't run very fast, he's not very dignified, no one likes him... No one has ever liked him. Gremlin thinks about this often, and it fuels a lot of his hate and mistrust towards humans, while also spawning an awe-like adoration (bordering on worship) for his betters: other Mauvians.
Challenge: Filthy two-leggers.
