Full Name: Akira Pavlovich Konstantinov.
A Small Backstory on the name
==========
While most definitely an Amur tiger in either form, his mother had been Japanese by means of family relocation. His father was a Russian, from outside of the city of Novosiribsk in Siberia. His mother wanted a link back to her culture, and the simple act of naming their little one Akira was more than enough for her.
Akira means Bright or Clear in Japanese.
Pavlovich is a link to his father's name, Pavel
And the family name is Konstantinov.

Feral Form
==========
Species: Amur Tiger (Panthera Tigris Altaicia)
Length (Peg to Peg): 19’ (Nose to tailtip)
Height (Shoulder): 6’
Weight: ~2500lbs
This is the form he prefers to take when he’s away from heavily populated areas, and his demeanor is very kind, and caring. He would prefer to take prey that is either non sentient, or who has committed crimes so heinous that the world would be better off without them, but when starving, instinct may kick into high gear, and anything becomes a potential meal.
He is much more relaxed in this form, preferring to make friends rather than money, and as of late he has taken to staying in the forests and away from the cities. Some feel that if he were to shift forms out here, his demeanor may not even change, though catching him out of his feral state in the forest is nigh impossible.
Speaking of demeanor, a surefire way to end up as a snack is to harm those he considers his friends. Getting him angry is another, though it is increasingly difficult to do so. He tends to be amiable and courteous with others, sometimes to the extent of letting a potential meal go, simply because he likes them.
Anthro Form
=============
( Pic is (c) myself. No stealing, please? )
Height: 7’ 6”
Weight: 410lbs
Species: Panthera Tigris Altaica
Clothing: WWII Era Greatcoat, ushanka, and jeans.
This cat was always the one your mother warned you about. He was an Ex-military tiger from Russia, and instead of modern firearms prefers the old bolt action rifle of wars long past. He had lived in the city, doing off jobs for various people, ranging from respectable businessmen to the lowest criminals around. He ended up with a local crime syndicate, and was employed as an enforcer. He would get protection payments, intimidate and kill people that the syndicate didn't like, or needed to keep quiet, and made damn sure that anyone that was part of the "family" was safe.
Akira continued that life, letting his morals slip into the gutter like any other bit of refuse. He became a cruel killer, and used women for his own satisfactions. There wasn't a day that went by that his conscience screamed at him to stop, but the feeling was never enough. He was vicious, violent, and often women he dated disappeared. Little was known about what happened to them, and when asked, he would shrug and give a knowing grin.
Eventually his conscience would get the upper hand, and caused him to turn his aggression towards the criminal organization. About four months after he was hired, the boss, his lieutenants, and other members were found slaughtered. There was no evidence, save for a typed note "Cleaned my act, and my conscience." It still ate at him for quite some time, and his almost random wanderings landed him in the park, where his life would begin to turn around.
* * *
After talking with Elvrya, and sharing some of his darker actions from his past, he has made the decision to give up city life for good. The masks of cruelty, deception and ruthlessness have been demolished, allowing him to be who he is, not who he has been percieved. His apartment in the city was left with a note, simply stating "Good Riddance"
Appearance wise, he may still wear the same thing he did when in the city, or in extremely cold weather, you may find him in an old Soviet Greatcoat, and a Ushanka, the big fuzzy hat. The difference now is that the leather jacket is clean, and whatever else he may wear is kept pressed and washed.
*************************************
His voice is a low baritone, tinged with the slightest hint of a Russian accent. From time to time, you may hear him speaking in pure Russian, though if one is going to translate, he or she would find that it is mainly expletives and choice locutions about a situation he may find himself in.
Surprisingly, he tends to actually THINK his actions through, rather than letting his stomach guide him along, though if food is scarce, he has been known to fall back on instinct. His eyes are quite the indicator of his current mood, as is the ears and muzzle. Pupils contracted to pinpoints, and it’s perhaps a good idea to back away slowly, as he’s more than likely sizing you up as his next meal.
Both his anthro form and his feral form feature the classic Amur tiger pattern of a lighter orange fur, almost to the point of being tawny, with a darker brown stripe pattern rather than the black stripes of his warmer weather cousins. The fur is longer, and denser, than a Bengal tiger, yet softer to the touch than a normal Amur tiger’s. His chest and belly fur are white, with the stripes not quite wrapping around his belly.
RP Preferences
===========
-Anything shown on the sliders below are a good guide, though unless something is 100% I may bend on it.
-I prefer to be in the feral form, though depending on my RP partners preference, and my mood at that moment, I may indeed make an exception.
-Akira is nearly always a predator, unless something large enough happens to wander by, or as a favor to good friends who are able to consume him.
-RP with any sex is fine, but sex is reserved for females only. Sorry!
-Oral vore is his modus operendii, however feel free to ask in a PM if there are other possibilities. Anal is a rarity, if the mood strikes him. Other forms of ingestion will take place in private.
-Approaching IC is much preferred to setting up a scene before hand. Spontaneity is something I much prefer, to meet a character IC without knowing their entire history before I start. Makes an RP feel more.... natural, if you will.
-If you wish to RP, I will be glad to oblige, though I will try to match length of posts. If you are a detail oriented RP'er, I will do my damndest to reciprocate. Though if you post one, two or three lines only, I will scale down. Though please! If you are going to post one or two sentence actions, use some imagination. I RP best when I have some details to work off of. If it's a problem, let me know beforehand, please!
Turn offs (Or the return of Captain Bring Down)
==================================
-A BIG turnoff for me is the overuse of magic. Its fine if you like it, but it's not my style.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-To go with the above example, I do NOT like powergaming. Things like catching a bullet with your fingers, or instantly evading attacks by teleporting away doesn't do it for me.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-A great way to get on my bad side is to ignore my posts. All too often I had found myself doing something only to have it completely ignored. Example:
Me: Akira snarls with rage, furious that JoeShmo would even dare to harm one of his friends. The great cat crouches, and leaps at Joe, his claws extended fully and teeth bared, ready for a fight.
JoeShmoe: I hit the sitting tiger hard in the head, and take his head into my jaws, because he is now knocked out.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-I want to apologize for this one beforehand, but if you do not have a good grasp of English when it is your primary language and I have a hard time understanding posts, RPing becomes less fun for me and more work. A little punctuation, and capitalization do go along way. I do understand if English isn't a first language, but please do not use that as a crutch to post things like "an i do this and that with this becuz my powers r mor advansed then urs"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-I'm really not keen on writing longer posts, only to get a response of one sentence, maybe two. If that's your playstyle, I am not going to try and change it, but I may end an RP, cause I will lose interest. Sorry, but if it isn't interesting, then why participate, right?
If you want to RP, approach IC and interact with the kitty! he doesn't bite TOO often!
Anyway, here's a rather old pic I did when bored out of my skull. Enjoy!
(Still under construction, somewhat. As more of his past is revealed, more may get added to the description of the anthro form. Check back often!)
