Personality, Biography, and History

Personality-
Distant, loyal, strong-willed, restless, hard to anger

Distant "What you wanted to talk to me?
Growing up as a strict show/race animal, Tempestas was hard pressed to find cats to talk to, and the ones he could find were normally very short, sarcastic, or just plain cruel to the smaller racing cat. This being said, he still isn't completely used to constantly talking to other cats quite yet.

Loyal "I don't know what your planning exactly, but know that I'm behind you 100%"
There isn't much to say on this but that the fact that Tempestas is grateful for the fact that he was brought into Lightning and allowed to stay in Lightning with little more than "You need to hunt and fight for the Empire.".

Strong-willed "Gotta keep going, just keep going. Going."
Tempestas is one of those cats that believes in making the finish line. He has a hard time accepting situations when they are out of his paws and doesn't believe in the words "Give up" or "Surender". Unfortunately, this could also be used against him, as he doesn't believe in giving up a fight. 

Restless "I don't see how you are tired. You should really work out more."
One of the perks of being a racing cat is that Temp has higher stamina than others of his breed. Though with every perk there is a downside, and the fact that Tempestas can never stand still for any amount of time (even sleeping is hard on the lynx, or more accurately his denmates), is surely a downside. Or possibly an upside? Guess your abilities are what you make of them. 


Hard to Anger "How did you expect me to react? There's no point in yelling."
Tempestas doesn't see reason to argue with others, or is he easy to get upset. He's more of the calm mediator who tries, and sometimes succeeds, to see all sides of a situation. It takes a lot of stupidity and really bad luck to see the true anger in this cat's eyes. 

:new:
Caring "Don't go to far, please. It's dangerous to go alone."
With recent events, most notably the temporary loss of his mate and the brith of their cubs, Tempestas has shown this trait more and more, even to the point of over-protectiveness of those he considers family. 


Biography and Background Information
To be added

After Joining
Once Tempestas joined Lightning, he took to Empire life like a fish to water. He had others he could help care for, and in the aftermath of the Hunter raid, there was plenty for him to do. He considers himself blessed by Sator and Jupiter, that he was able to join the Empire so soon after the raid, if only to be there for the cats who needed him most. Only a few nights after he joined, he went with some of his new Empiremates to, the now fabled, "Last Full Moon", or the Gathering where the Hunter leader threatened and mocked the Empires. 

Somehow he stuck out to their cougar leader, for soon after he joined, he was given a young traumatized cheetah cub, who lost his brother in the raid, as an apprentice. At first Viatrix's unblinding trust scared Tempestas, after all, why trust such a young mind with a new cat that he had never met? But soon after Viatrix also thrust her own apprentice, while she went to work on other "more important issues", Tempestas came to the conclusion that the leader was overly stressed, and possibly a little out her armor. Tempestas had no issues with the extra apprentice, as Cynthia already knew almost everything, and was just waiting for Viatrix to give her the final test for her promotion. 

Tsinga was another issue entirely, as the cu-sorry apprentice, had been traumatized so much by the raid, he basically vowed never to fight. Tempestas decided to solely train the young cheetah in what his species was both known for and not. A balance of speed and stamina. The hard trained ability in knowing how long you can hold a speed, and knowing how and when to control it. 

Almost a year after Tempestas joined Lightning Empire, Viatrix choose a few of her "trusted" gladiators to raid the city and free their captured friends. Though some of her choices, such as placing the newly graduated Cynthia in charge of the second stealth patrol instead of her Silver Dehlia, were questionable, most of the raid went off without a hitch. Their "distraction" patrol easily did their job, distracting a larger group of hunters, himself keeping a lynx hunter busy, while the smaller "rescue" group managed to remove most of the captured cats from their holding pens. Once both patrols had left the city far behind them, did Viatrix state to the "distraction" patrol that she was needed elsewhere, and that Tempestas would be in charge of the group until she or Dehlia returned to camp. The remaining members of the patrol didn't question her orders, and returned to camp, only to be shocked at the news that Dehlia never returned from the city. 

The next few days or so was filled with Tempestas, Belldona, Cynthia, and Naram trying to keep the peace in the Empire, trying to assure them that either their leader or Silver would return soon. But, as the days turned into weeks, everyone was forced to believe in the worst, and that both Viatrix and Dehlia were dead. Tempestas, who Viatrix stated would be in charge until herself or Dehlia returned to camp, was chosen as the most "obvious" choice. 

Months later, after regrettably assuming the position of leader, Dehlia returned to the empire with two cubs and a ocelots tow. Tempestas attempted to return the position to the "rightful" feline, but the former silver refused stating that he was the correct choice for these past few months. The biggest plus was the two's feelings that they had been "hiding" (or in Temp's case, completely unknowing) had come into the light. Over a slow and steady relationship, Dehlia announced to Tempestas that she was expecting his cubs. Oh course logic dictated that the newly discovered father should panic and ensure that his mate is overly well cared for, to which the mostly annoyed mother was... well mostly annoyed. All in all life seemed like everything was falling in place.  (Until the Fire nation attacked)

At one of the next gatherings, the Giant Raid against Massilia had been announced with full support from both Fire and Shadow Empire, with the "leader" being a Shadow Empire gladiator being the start of the entire thing.

:bulletyellow: Lightning Empire :bulletyellow:

:star: :bulletpurple: Tsinga
A little fiery ball of fluff, that's what he is. He may not ever want to fight, but he sure has a heart of gold and a mind of steel. I only hope and pray to Sator that one day these nightmares about his brother's fate will leave him be. 

:star-half: :bulletblue:/:bulletpurple: Cynthia
I was practically given Viatrix's apprentice, while still trying to figure out how to train my own, but she has grown on me. I believe that great things will come from this little caracal. 

:star-empty: :bulletgreen:(:bulletyellow:?)/:bulletpurple: :new: :bulletpink:/:bulletorange: Dehlia 
Delhia was a kind cat to me. She was the first who actually talked to me in the Empire when I first joined. Maybe she is still alive out there, maybe she isn't, and maybe only Sator knows. 

:new: Del... She finally came back. I... I just couldn't... I mean I could probably still live... but it wouldn't be living, it would be existing. But she's back, and we're together now. We finally admitted things... Feelings are hard.

:bulletyellow: Outside Lightning Empire :bulletyellow:

:bulletpurple:/:bulletblue: Evander of Shadow Empire

This ... strange looking Snow cheethpard? We really hit it off at the first gathering. Both of us just... THROWN into these positions because it was for the good of the empire. And the guy has a brain and a heart, unlike a bunch of other cats I met over my travels. I thought he would completely flip when my cats went over his border, but he was pretty relaxed about it. I still feel like I should repay and apologize to him though

:bulletorange: :star-empty:? Eliane

I had a sister once. Don't remember much about her except that she was more white like mother than the normal color of lynxes. I wonder if she got sold too?

:bulletorange: :star-empty: Kira

My mother... I wish i could say more, but I really can't. I just remember being there as a cub, and then I was sold when I was old enough to run around without her. Don't know what ever happened to her
