flight of the red phoenix.
i know there's nothing stopping you now,
but i'd settle for a slowdown.

pheo, as phoenix is affectionately called, is quite the looker. even amongst the crowds of rising sun, he manages to stand out. pheo is built like most other defense males, with broad shoulders and defined muscles. he isn't ridiculously bulky body-wise like some, and instead, his mass lies with his height. he towers over many of the other warriors, though he has nothing on their sheer mass. pheo, like many of the rising sun tribe, was born with a thick-boned, bushy tail resembling a foxes'.
but he is not entirely 'to the code' with his appearance. due to his nomad father, pheo has inherited traits not found in the tribe. one being his height, the other being his smooth, short fur. it is the color of the richest mud, and is almost completely unmarred by any other colors. of course, he does have some white on his body. one place being his nose, which is white speckled with a few brown spots here and there, the other being his toes which are also completely white and also dappled with brown. the fronts of front his legs and his chest are spotted with white dots ranging in size from a lopsided quarter, or numerous grains of sand. but there are countless spots adorning his front, but most are rather small.
the last thing one should know about pheo's appearance are his wings, which resemble a falcons, or possibly an eagles due to their size. his wings are a deeper russet than his body, and are also speckled with white. the tips of his primary and secondary feathers are black, while the primary and secondary coverts are a mixture of darker brown and white. his wings are large compared to the rest of him, and the primary feathers actually extend past his hips and cover his tail most of the time. the 'elbow-joint', where the bend is, comes a few inches past his shoulders.

phoenix is a very serious and 'by-the-book' type of guy. he is excessively loyal, like most tribe felines, and this causes him to be prone to overprotection. he keeps an eye on all the younger warriors and rarely let's little incidents pass under his radar. deaths, accidents and other such things cause his protectiveness to raise to outrageous heights. he may not know the feline whom is involved in the incident, but that doesn't mean anything to him. as long as your in his clan and haven't completely pissed him off, he'll protect you until his last breath.
pheo, when not being overprotective, is a rather stiff character. he was raised to protect, give orders and stand by; like a bodyguard. because of this, he doesn't really know how to act around more casual felines. things often turn awkward for him when he's left alone with a cat completely comfortable around him, because he can't extend the same trust. he can be very suspicious and un-trusting, and it's rare to catch him at a lax moment because they rarely happen. unless, of course, you knock him out or he's sleeping. anyways, he was never taught anything accept defense and protection, so he doesn't know the touch of friendship or the joys of not being a wet-blanket all the time.

phoenix never fit in when he was young, he was always tense. even as a kit, he acted like everyone was out to cause trouble. because of this, he made few friends that could actually be called friends. many were just kits he hung around with, but they didn't share a friendly connection.
his tense demeanor was only boosted when he found out his father was a nomad, and his mother had betrayed the tribe. she'd already had a mate, but for some reason, he was infertile, so she went looking for someone who could give her kits; the one thing she desperately wanted. she came across a male, and they mated, then separated. the tom who had been led on to think he was pheo's father never found out, because pheo couldn't stand breaking his only father figures heart.
when pheo was old enough to begin his training, it was obvious from the start he was made of, and for, defense. he immediately began his training with a skilled defense warrior, and he soared through the courses. there was only one other cat that matched his marks, and upon meeting each other, became instant friends. daybreak, the tom, was the first feline pheo could have ever called a friend. but, of course, when they became warriors together, things got complex.
daybreak was popular with the females, and as such, went on to have a mate and kits. pheo on the other hand, seemed to repel the opposite sex wherever he went. he grew jealous, and soon, their short friendship shattered. a few months later, daybreaks mate fell ill and died. pheo was there by his old partners side once again, but it wasn't enough. daybreak left the clan, leaving pheo shattered once more.
pheo distanced himself from everyone, and he has stayed that way to the present day.
