||PERSONALITY||
||PERSONALITY||
{
caring/ gentle} - He might not be the most conversational cat on the island, true, but Chetan is gentle and caring to others about everything, trying his best to give whatever or whoever it is the affection and care that is needed. He tends to his patients with great care, patience and passion, and sacrifices all his time for his job if necessary. Caring for pets and gardening are two more things that the tom adores, but he rarely ever does them since his job already takes up a good deal of time.
{ compassionate} - Chetan is one whom anybody can come to with their problems at any given time. He will try to help them as far as possible, no matter what it is. His synesthesia makes it especially easy for him to understand sympathize with others, and even if he might not always be able to give advice or comfort, he'll always have an open ear and patently listen to anything if somebody needs to unburden themselves, as serious or banal as the matter might be.
{ selfless} - Chetan is willing to do and give almost anything for the sake of others. For the most part this comes from his natural urge to help. It makes him feel good to see the ones around him happy, as well as it makes him uncomfortable seeing them upset. A mainly content environment just makes him feel good, and seeing others smile usually brings a smile to his own face as well. His colour - emotion association makes him feel swings and changes in his surroundings even more intense, which means his own feelings are greatly influenced by his surroundings.
{
quiet} - Chetan is a tom of few words. He doesn't say much more than necessary most of the time, especially around strangers and cats he doesn't know well. He's also not one to randomly approach others or start conversations, in fact, he becomes somewhat awkward if anybody tries to start a small talk with him out of the blue. He usually keeps in the background, observing, pondering or just quietly listening, though he still steps up whenever someone needs him. Some might mistake his quietness for shyness or asociality, but really he just doesn't like talking that much
passionate; protective} - Mind you: Chetan may be calm and silent most of the time, but he can become, very, very talkative very quickly, as soon as a conversation hits a topic that catches his interest. One can be astonished by his exceptional handling of words. Chetan is well able to keep argumentations and debated going for hours upon hours, if needed, and can get very carried away once he has started. { /
aloof} - the Scraggy's rather quiet and cautious behavior, paired with him generally being more comfortable on his own and away from huge crowds and foreign thoughts that would disrupt his own, make him seem very aloof and hard to approach, although he actually isn't. While he does appreciate the company of close friends, he is still more of a loner and likes to do things on his own. He likes to have his space and freedom both physically and mentally, since his mind tends to wander a lot, so company and anything distracting would irritate him on the long run.
{ self-depreciating} - Chetan is constantly looking down on himself. He has a rather low self-esteem, seeing himself as unworthy and 'low' and therefore feels that he doesn't deserve much, if anything, despite his parents always disputing this. He always blames himself if something goes wrong, saying that it's due to his incapability and stupidity. This adds to the pleasure he feels when sharing or giving something away, since he feels they deserve it more than he does, which is also another reason for his selflessness.
stubborn} - Chetan can, however, become very narrow-minded and stubborn when it comes to the discussion of his "obsessions", and it is very hard, if not impossible, to debate over or discuss topics that he feels "protective" about. He can become very single-minded if someone tries to change or interfere with one of his plans as well, which are usually well thought through and very structured. He is open for different opinions, but he can't stand if somebody messes with an already existing plan. { uncooperative} - Although Chetan is well capable of working in a group if really necessary, he still prefers not to if he doesn't have to, for he finds it a lot easier to just do things his own way without anyone interfering. He usually has his own way to do things and, while he does follow orders and is open for different opinions and ideas, he usually finds it annoying if somebody else is constantly messing with his concepts and/ or thought-out strategies and organizes plans, especially if it's already fully fledged and set.
LIKES
sunny days - they are just lovely and perfect. Bright and warm and friendly
reading - always eager to learn new things, Chetan loves reading. Scientific or medical book are his favourite, although he likes almost all kinds of stories, too.
nature - Chetan is a natur child. Enjoying the quiet and calming sounds and colours all around him, he loves to just stroll through the forest on his own for eternities. He could spend hours upon hours just standing there and daydreaming
DISLIKES
battle - It only causes pain and is something the world could live without, in his opinion. He can't see why so many cats see glory in it. He also can't bring himself to inflict pain to others, not at least because other cats' pain feel uncomfortable to him, tooFEARS
hurting others - If mentally or physically, the one thing Chetan is always afraid of doing it inflicting pain to others. He hates to see other unhappy or hurt, and would hate himself to no end if he'd ever (seriously) hurt someone. Besides, it give him a physical discomfort, too.
OTHER
Chetan is synesthetic, or, to be more precise, he is diagnosed with emotion-evoked synesthesia. This means that he associates feelings and emotions with colours. It is not something that had been noticeable since he was small, but was instead caused by an epileptic seizure when he was older.
As stated above, Chetan's form of synesthesia makes him associate colours with emotions, and the other way round. For he is very good at reading others' emotions through facial expressions and gestures unconsciously, he is able to see cats auras, which are corresponding to the individual's current emotional state. To Chetan it is harder to see the auras of cats he doesn't know and it becomes easier as he becomes more familiar with a cat. His ability helps him understanding and sympathising with others, since the colours make him feel the matching emotions himself. This has a negative side too, though. Crowds, for instance, which mean a lot of different impressions and feelings at the same time, can become very confusing and uncomfortable for him. It also makes him feel bad since it makes him feel as if he is constantly stalking everyone and is interfering with their privacy, for an individuals emotions are something very personal.
Another con is that it can be very confusing to Chetan if something's colour doesn't match up with the associated emotion. If something is green, for example, but should be 'blue', or if something that feels pure and clean is black in colour. This is something that the tom has to confront very often, and the process of adapting to it and ignore it is hard and takes a lot of time.
Chetan is very open about his "disorder" and is always happy if soneone shows interest in it. He will try to explain as far as possible, although he is still learning himself and has yet to find out a lot about it.

||HISTORY||
Shortly after hatching, Akecheta was a rather weak kit. His parents hoped that calling him a 'fighter' would give him strength, and to their relief he soon grew stronger and got out of his critical state.
In spite of his early weakness, he had a pretty normal childhood. He'd found it somewhat hard to socialize as a young kid, due to his rather reserved and quiet nature, but he still got along with most cats around him, being friendly and and always ready to help anyone. He personally had never experienced abuse in any way and had always had a caring family, which he was very grateful for. It made him want to share those good experiences and happiness, since he knew that not every cat had such a good life.
Chetan's parents themselves had always been good parents, always cautious to raise their son to be a good-hearted and well-raised child. They always gave him the freedom to make his own decisions, but they were careful to make sure he still had some restrictions, of course, as not to let him "run wild". Chetan himself always loved his parents dearly and respected them greatly. One major aspect that they made sure they taught him was that he should find the path meant for him and follow-- his destiny. Being a fighting (and dark) type, paired with the fact that he was rather strong physically, made him believe that becoming a fighter was his destiny. His fitting name only strengthened this belief.
As soon as he was old enough Akecheta became a trainee, hoping to improve his battle skills. Although, unlike most trainers, he did it not for fame or glory, but because he still believed it was his destiny. His parents greatly approved of this, for he seemed to fully live up to the name they had given him. They believed that this was what he wanted to follow and were proud of their son growing up and starting to walk his own path. But Akecheta soon realized that he had problems training. He tried his best, and although his physical strength did increase he found that he was constantly going easy on enemies. He couldn't get himself to do anything that could have consequences, reluctant even to seriously attack training dummies. But he kept telling himself that what he was doing was for the best, that it was what he had to do, and continued his training.
This finally changed though after an event he can barely even remember. He can remember how he refused to counterattack in a one-on-one training battle, then a blinding pain in his back and a white bolt in front of his eyes.
The earliest thing after this that he can remember is waking up in the PokéCenter with a thrumming pain between his shoulders. He was told that he had had an epileptic seizure before completely blacking out from the pain of the electrical bolt that had hit him. The Scraggy also noticed that everything seemed... different. Things appeared to have colours other than what he was used to, especially knotting in whirling pools he saw in the other cats around him.
It confused him, but he thought it was just another effect of the shock and shrugged it off, hoping that it would stop once he was healed. When it didn't seem go away-- even after healing completely-- Akecheta started to panic. Researching several medical and physiological books in the hope of finding an explanation for what was happening to him he finally found something that seemed to fit the symptoms he had: He figured he must have gained synesthesia somehow. After knowing what was wrong, he started to get used to his new vision, although the process of learning and understanding it took him quite a while.
After his past experiences, Akecheta finally came to terms with himself that he wasn't made for combat, admitting to himself that he had always loathed it. His parents had been frantic the whole time he was injured and he blamed himself for their distress. If he hadn't clung to battle training so hard, this would have never happened.
Determined to leave his past behind him, he not only covered his scars with a sweater-- a gift from his parents from when he was under treatment--but also took the nickname Chetan, not liking to be addressed with a term that referred to what he hated most. After all the research he had done and the time he had spent in the clinic he had also started to take interest in a nurse's job. It was also a wonderful way for helping others - after all, healing is the exact opposite of fighting. Instead of inflicting pain it freed one from it

RP Example:
(Desertpaw; FoTC)
Thunder cracked high above the marshes and a bright lightning bolt split the dry air. Wind soared up above, tugging her fur and pressing her ears firmly against her head. Desertpaw felt the heather swipe her fur on either side as she raced through it, swaying in the wind and crunching beneath her paws. She closed her eyes for a moment and took a deep breath, enjoying the promising smell of rain, the wind in her face, the few, swift contacts that her paws had with the ground and the sound of the rolling thunder above her head, almost forgetting the hare she was chasing. She only remembered it when it let out a panicked screech as another bolt split the air. A new wave of energy surged through her and she pushed harder, gaining on her pray, until, at last, it was only a few mouse-lenths away. She tensed her haunches and gave an enormous shove, landing right on top of the hare and dealing a death blow before it had the chance to fight back. Desertpaw gave a triumphant yowl as she stood panting over the big, limp body and started to drag it, tail high and eyes bright, towards WindClan's camp, while a soft drizzle began falling.

||TRIVIA||
I was always hesitant to RP a character with a mental 'disease' since I've always been worried (and still am) about portraying it wrongly, so this is my first time and I am kinda excited about it since I have always been very interesed in synesthesia. Also since I (unfortunately) don't have it myself, I hope that I'll be able to RP him more or less accurately I actually know someone irl who can see colours on not only peoples' auras, but also non-living things. Chetan is a challenge in many ways: I have to draw hair and clothes, which I struggle with, and I've never RPd a character with such an ability before.
