P e r s o n a l i t yPersonality Type: INFJ "The Architect")
"It’s lonely at the top, and being one of the rarest and most strategically capable personality types, INTJs know this all too well. It is often a challenge for them to find like-minded individuals who are able to keep up with their relentless intellectualism and chess-like maneuvering. People with the INTJ personality type are imaginative yet decisive, ambitious yet private, amazingly curious, but they do not squander their energy."
Cardinal: Dedicated & RecklessSummary: First impressions leave much to be desired when it comes to Ellian. He's very private and not particularly outgoing when it comes to social interactions. He may be good-humored and friendly, but that trait is usually obscured by his broodiness. Ellian sulks. A lot. The majority of is cognitive ability goes towards self-loathing and general unhappiness. So much so, that most are too afraid to approach him due to his ever-present frown. But underneath the melancholy lies a truly dynamic individual. He's got a good head on his shoulders, and is rather clever. However, he is quite reckless and impatient. Ellian also has a rebellious streak, and doesn't respond well to authority. He has a strong desire to have his own way, which has contributed to many of his misfortunes. This, paired with his profound stubbornness sets him up to fail, but he is far too resilient to give up.
Traits:

| Positive: |

{Quick-witted, Versatile, Passionate, Decisive, and Determined. }

[Quick-witted] [Showing or characterized by an ability to think or respond quickly or effectively.]
Ellian is a very intelligent creature. Rather than physical force, Ellian shows his strength and flexibility in the form of his strategic mind. Always taking the opportunity to improve his knowledge, Ellian is constantly evolving and learning new things. Because of this, he is able to see things from many different perspectives. Rather than using his imagination in the form of art, his imagination manifests in the form of planning contingencies for every possible scenario. He is a survivor.

[Versatile] [Able to adapt or change when exposed to different functions or activities; flexible.]
Because he has such an open mind and a keen thirst for knowledge, Ellian has a broad range of perspectives. He's intellectually receptive, and is always open for new ideas, viewpoints, and possibilities. He's always accepting of change, as his thirst for excitement and adventure can never be quenched.

[Passionate] [Showing or caused by strong feelings or strong beleifs.]
IF he is interested in something, he will go all out, even to a point of inspiring others. Despite his apathetic disposition, Ellian is quite dedicated to his duty to his gang. However, this driven personality can also lead to laziness--he may find ways to bypass redundant tasks, and escape stagnation. Lingering allows him time to reflect on his failures in life, which is something he does enough of as it is. In general, Ellian is more concerned with finding an application for his knowledge rather than spending so much time studying it.

[Decisive] [Having or showing the ability to make decisions quickly and effectively.]
If there's one things Ellian excels at, it's taking full responsibilities for his actions. In fact, he shoulders almost all of the blame for everything, even if his role is minute. He will always be able to make a decision--whether it was the right one is another story entirely. But nevertheless, the decision will be made, and you can rest assured that he will stick to it.

[Determined] [Admirably purposeful and unwavering]
Again, if something holds his interest, Ellian will exhibit astonishing determination. He tends to be very efficient and will reach above and beyond when working towards a goal. He's a hard worker, granted that he is working on his own accord. This determination makes him a very dedicated friend and ally too.

| Neutral: |
{Confident, Independent, Courageous, Stubborn }

[Confident] [Feeling or showing confidence in oneself; self-assured.]
Ellian trusts his instincts above all else, so when he makes a decision, he has no reason to doubt it. He isn't held back by social roles or outside influence either. When Ellian thinks he's right, he's right, and no debate is going to change that fact.

[Independent] [Free from outside control; Not depending on another for livelihood or subsistence.]
The young tomcat prefers to stand on his own and make his own decisions. He can't stand the fact that his life may rest in another's paws--in fact, it drives him crazy. He needs to be in control of himself, and authority figures usually do not give him this crucial peace of mind. He marches to the beat of his own drum--he was born to lead not follow. Because he is so wayward in this regard, Ellian is often times seen as a loner.

[Courageous] [Not deterred by danger or pain; brave.]
When the going gets tough, Ellian gets going--no matter how difficult of a challenge arises before him, this tom will not back down. Ellian will always rise to the challenge. However, if he fears for a loved one's safety, he may not be so fearless. Deep inside, he does experience fear--but he has the courage to face those fears. His worst fear is loosing those he loves, and it is a fear that is crippling. But should his loved one fall into harm way, he would not hesitate to lay down his own life to protect them.

[Stubborn] [Having or showing dogged determination not to change one's attitude or position on something, especially in spite of good arguments or reasons to do so.]
Being both impulsive and impatient, Ellian is not well known for considering other's opinions. He rarely thinks past his own nose when it comes to the feelings of others. He's rather selfish in this regard. Ellian always knows best, and he will never admit he's wrong. If you want to argue with him, be ready for a fight to the death, because this guy isn't backing down. His stubbornness makes him an incredibly difficult person to deal with at best. But it is not impossible. There have been a few who were able to mold him like clay in their capable paws.

| Negative: |

{Arrogant, Reckless, Short-tempered, Rebellious, Brooding}

[Arrogant] [Having or revealing an exaggerated sense of one's own importance or abilities.]
He has the habit of carrying his confidence too far... Oftentimes, he makes himself out to be the best of the best--the brightest of the bright. He sometimes tricks himself into (falsely) believing that he has every thing figured out, and any other opinion on the matter is irrelevant. This, combined with his lack of social-common-sense, can make Ellian a brutally insensitive creature. But this is a heavily concealed trait. While Ellian is quite arrogant, he is not extroverted enough to speak his mind. Very private and passive, Ellian is more likely to keep his arrogance to himself.

[Reckless] [Not thinking or caring about the consequences of an action.]
Ellian leaps head first into situations without taking the time to consider the consequences. Needless to say, this has the potential to end badly when he already knows everything. Impulsive by nature, Ellian is perhaps a little too active for his own good. His open mindedness and hyperactive personality oftentimes leaves him scattered in different directions.

[Melancholy] [Characterized by a feeling of pensive sadness, typical with no obvious cause.]
He is very guarded and often gives off a dark, menacing aura. He is more or less defined by tragedy. He has a lot weighing on his shoulders, and he often wears his emotions on his sleeve. He can also be very moody... The easiest way to trigger him is to challenge his decisions or call him out on being wrong. He can't stand being called a liar either. Or have his flaws pointed out. While he is very self-aware, and spends ample time berating himself, he does not like others doing this.

[Rebellious] [Showing a desire to resist authority, control, or convention. Not easily handled or kept in place.]
Ellian absolutely loathes highly structured environments. Blindly following rules without receiving explanations as to why is not this tom's style. And his disdain flows even stronger for authority figures who demand such things from him. Anyone who wishes to control him is certain to clash with him. But he lacks the motivation to stand up for himself. Instead, he usually just leaves; hence the 'loner' persona.

[Brooding] [Showing deep unhappiness of thought; appearing darkly or menacing.]
Since the death of Chaya, Ellian has not been quite the same. The majority of his cognitive ability is spent focusing on how much he loathes himself. This gives him a rather dark aura, and he is quite intimidating to strangers. Whenever he is in a sulking mood, he can be a bit moody and prone to being argumentative or confrontational. Without something to occupy his thoughts, Ellian turns to brooding. This is one of his most defining traits. To most, it makes him appear mysterious. Many are drawn to the silent vigilante who watches his city from the solitude of a high perch.

H i s t o r y
Ellian and his younger brother and sister were orphaned at a rather young age. Being the oldest, and more capable of fending for himself, he taught his younger siblings everything their parents could not. He excelled in hunting and various other means of forging, proving himself capable of surviving in the City of Sundown. When he was about a year old, he was separated from his siblings. Distraught, he wondered around aimlessly, focusing only on finding them. But he would have no luck. The guilt crushed him, and he was determined to spend the remainder of his days in solitude, enveloped by the feeling of loss.

Months would go by, and his nature slowly turned arrogant. After living in solitude on the outskirts of the city, he had grown complacent. To distract himself from his failure of protecting his siblings, he all but pushed those memories from his mind, obsessing on his strengths instead. To him, he was the most successful cat out here: able to find food and water for himself in such a baring wasteland, keep himself hidden from the Infected. He smelled the scents of other cats occasionally, but did not bother himself with them. He needed no one. The young tom recalled vague memories of a story his mother told him; of a cat, black as night, who survived alone. This cat didn't need the support of others, and it survived dwelling among the infected. If this mysterious cat could survive, so could he.

The loneliness did not effect him.... at least not until nightfall. From inside his small refuge, he could here the sounds of the infected hunting. And it chilled him to the core.

One morning while he was out searching for water, he ran into a young she-cat. She was a pretty creature, graceful and quite capable too. She made advancements in the hope of friendship, but Ellian denied her each time. At first he detested her, and ignored her very existence. But she was a persistent thing, and continued to follow the dark tom (much to his annoyance).
Eventually, her patience would pay off. Ellian was very sick and it was the heart of winter. He had no choice but to accept her help, and she was eager to give it. The young she-cat hunted for him, nurtured him, and nursed him back to health. In turn, Ellian was moved by her compassion, and eventually accepted her as a life long companion and his best friend, maybe even something more. For the first time in moons, he had a family again.

But his happiness would not last for long.

They would spend an entire season together before they found themselves returning to Winter. Resources had become very scarce, and one day while they were out foraging, the pair found themselves far from shelter. With nightfall closing in, they were in a very dangerous situation. Despite Chaya's pleas, Ellian insisted that they continue on searching through the night. A year of good fortune had inflated his ego, and his stubbornness outweighed his ability to listen to his companion.

His poor judgement costed him the life of his best friend that night. Chaya gave her life defending him from the monsters, leading them away from Ellian, who had sprung his paw and found himself unable to flee.

The next morning he found her red scarf on the ground beside a dumpster. While he searched and searched, Ellian never saw her again. Not a corpse nor even the smallest trace of his dear Chaya could be salvaged. Crushed by guilt, he went out to avenge his companion's death, but was found by a Cahaya patrol. They offered him a place to stay and he accepted. Silently vowing to his late love that he would live the remainder of his life for others, to protect and hunt for them just as she did for him. She would not have wanted him to live alone, after all. Sometimes, he swears that he still hears her voice from time to time. She walks his dreams as well, but she never speaks directly to him. He only sees her walking away, leaving him to wake up with a hollow feeling in his chest.

For the following moons, Ellian would hunt and gather precious resources for his gang. But despite his endeavors, he remained distant. He slept apart from them, ate by himself, and preferred to patrol by himself. Wanting to keep his paws busy, he rarely stopped to rest. So enveloped in his past and business, the tom never got a chance to bond with his Gang-mates. This led to his strong feelings of melancholy and loneliness.

But eventually, others began taking interest in him, forcing him to socialize. The first cat he met was another raider named Selia. She was a lively little creature, and always could bring a smile to the dark tom's face despite himself. The two became close friends and shared many adventures, not all safe adventures, but adventures nonetheless. She was the only cat Ellian really opened up to in the Cahaya Gang. It wasn't until they stumbled upon an Infected's nest and almost lost their lives that he felt the first stirrings of something more than friendship. It was now obvious to Ellian that he fancied the blue-gray she-cat, but he cared not to think of it. He never mentioned his feelings to her, and probably never will. Whenever his heart tried to open up to her, the thought of his first love would always close it off. Not wanting her to be an echo of his love for Chaya, Ellian began distancing himself from her. He felt it was for the best.

The tom once again began to sulk in his memories, exiling himself to solitude. He spent more and more time away from his Gang, sleeping in his old shelter--the one he shared with Chaya. The abandoned car was his sanctuary in a scary world, but it did not cure his loneliness.

One evening, he ran into a Suran patrol. Ellian knew little of the rival gang who lived just south of the Great Divide, but the cats did not seem too intimidating. This was when he made the acquaintance of Ty, Talicka, and Crystal. Ty, the youngest of the group, was amusing. Ellian enjoyed his sharp tongue and independence. He would run into this young tom a few more times, but never really got to know him. Talicka, the one who wielded the most authority, was not exactly his favorite cat as far as first impressions go. She didn't seem very friendly, and left quite abruptly after bickering with the young student. Crystal was the most...peculiar... of the bunch. She always seems to be looking at things that were not there. But despite how strange the group of cats were, Ellian felt envy for their sense of belonging. Inspired, he returned to Cahaya that night.

A few moons later, life slowly began to look up for the wayward Raider. He had friends, a new family with his Gang, and a profession that kept the memories at bay. The tom soon began to grow ambitious. The raider wanted to prove himself and sought out the position of chief, growing quite competitive with his peers. As he was working towards his goal, he became more friendly and outgoing. He began to approach cats and start conversations more rather than lingering in the background. Soon, he began to yearn for an apprentice. This new ambition was sparked when he met Cassie. She was a young she-cat who was taken in by the Cahaya, and would be ready to start training soon. Teaching her some pointers at hunting and showing her the territory made him realize that he was looking forward to mentorship.

But then everything went dark.

Cats went missing, infected now ruled the streets. Ellian's world was being torn apart, and just when he was finally starting to live. With the cataclysm raining down, Ellian could not bear it anymore. Among the missing was his trusted friend Selia. Despite the distance he had kept between him, her absence was devastating. She was gone. His leader and deputy missing. Almost all the other raiders gone as well. There was nothing in the Cahaya left for him now. Distraught and depressed, the tom fled. The remainder of his days would be spent hiding away upon a rooftop, destined to watch over the Dead City for moons to come.
The life of a hermit was not an easy one. In fact, it took quite a toll on his emotions. He missed the company of others, the feeling of companionship living with his gang provided. One winter morning, Ellian stumbled upon a new face. She introduced herself to him, and the pair spent the day talking. Luna was a strange creature. She lived out in the Library. Ellian would occasionally visit her, and the two would read (though Luna did most of the reading due to Ellian's limited knowledge of human writings). It was from her that Ellian learned how to make sense of the mysterious etchings.

Feeling a new sense of purpose that her friendship provided, Ellian began to hunt for his gang once more, or what was left of them. He never returned to the camp, but he would leave prey outside the entrance. It was the least he could do for them.

But things steadily got worse and worse. Ellian began to face the facts. He was convinced that all would perish. More and more infected were wondering about the shadowy streets, and they were growing in intelligence as much as they were growing in numbers. Ellian began to observe the Soulless beasts, studying their behavior from his high perch.

One morning he found a pack of them preying on an injured feline. The former raider jumped to the rescue; he would not stand by while another cat fall into the jaws of infected. Luring the monsters away, he rounded back and dragged the injured tom up to his hide out, and there he watched over him until he recovered. With much encouragement, the burly tom grew to trust Ellian, and the two became friends. In the dark moons that would follow, the unlikely pair took on the task of surviving in the Dead City together.

When Ellian got word of the Gangs exodus from the City, he made the decision to follow suit. Trailing after them, he was determined to seek out a new life, away from the now truly dead city.

TECHNICAL
[ Combat || Stats || Strengths & Weaknesses || Health ]
| C o m b a t: |Battle Style: Very strategic and calculated. Typically, Ellian is a thinker and uses his wits rather than brawn. But don't be deceived, he is quite capable of putting up a good fight when he is pushed to it.
Battle Tactics: He dodges and ducks, hits and runs. His priority is dealing swift, precise blows and quickly bouncing away to avoid retaliation. His hind legs are also extremely powerful; a kick could send another cat flying.

{Quick-witted, Versatile, Passionate, Decisive, and Determined. }

[Quick-witted] [Showing or characterized by an ability to think or respond quickly or effectively.]
Ellian is a very intelligent creature. Rather than physical force, Ellian shows his strength and flexibility in the form of his strategic mind. Always taking the opportunity to improve his knowledge, Ellian is constantly evolving and learning new things. Because of this, he is able to see things from many different perspectives. Rather than using his imagination in the form of art, his imagination manifests in the form of planning contingencies for every possible scenario. He is a survivor.

[Versatile] [Able to adapt or change when exposed to different functions or activities; flexible.]
Because he has such an open mind and a keen thirst for knowledge, Ellian has a broad range of perspectives. He's intellectually receptive, and is always open for new ideas, viewpoints, and possibilities. He's always accepting of change, as his thirst for excitement and adventure can never be quenched.

[Passionate] [Showing or caused by strong feelings or strong beleifs.]
IF he is interested in something, he will go all out, even to a point of inspiring others. Despite his apathetic disposition, Ellian is quite dedicated to his duty to his gang. However, this driven personality can also lead to laziness--he may find ways to bypass redundant tasks, and escape stagnation.

He's a hard worker, granted that he is working on his own accord. This determination makes him a very dedicated friend and ally too.

| Neutral: |
{Confident, Independent, Courageous, Stubborn }

[Confident] [Feeling or showing confidence in oneself; self-assured.]
Ellian trusts his instincts above all else, so when he makes a decision, he has no reason to doubt it. He isn't held back by social roles or outside influence either. When Ellian thinks he's right, he's right, and no debate is going to change that fact.

[Independent] [Free from outside control; Not depending on another for livelihood or subsistence.]
The young tomcat prefers to stand on his own and make his own decisions. He can't stand the fact that his life may rest in another's paws--in fact, it drives him crazy. He needs to be in control of himself, and authority figures usually do not give him this crucial peace of mind. He marches to the beat of his own drum--he was born to lead not follow. Because he is so wayward in this regard, Ellian is often times seen as a loner.

[Courageous] [Not deterred by danger or pain; brave.]
When the going gets tough, Ellian gets going--no matter how difficult of a challenge arises before him, this tom will not back down. Ellian will always rise to the challenge. However, if he fears for a loved one's safety, he may not be so fearless. Deep inside, he does experience fear--but he has the courage to face those fears. His worst fear is loosing those he loves, and it is a fear that is crippling. But should his loved one fall into harm way, he would not hesitate to lay down his own life to protect them.

[Stubborn] [Having or showing dogged determination not to change one's attitude or position on something, especially in spite of good arguments or reasons to do so.]
Being both impulsive and impatient, Ellian is not well known for considering other's opinions. He rarely thinks past his own nose when it comes to the feelings of others. He's rather selfish in this regard. Ellian always knows best, and he will never admit he's wrong. If you want to argue with him, be ready for a fight to the death, because this guy isn't backing down. His stubbornness makes him an incredibly difficult person to deal with at best. But it is not impossible. There have been a few who were able to mold him like clay in their capable paws.

| Negative: |

{Arrogant, Reckless, Short-tempered, Rebellious, Brooding}

[Arrogant] [Having or revealing an exaggerated sense of one's own importance or abilities.]
He has the habit of carrying his confidence too far... Oftentimes, he makes himself out to be the best of the best--the brightest of the bright. He sometimes tricks himself into (falsely) believing that he has every thing figured out, and any other opinion on the matter is irrelevant. This, combined with his lack of social-common-sense, can make Ellian a brutally insensitive creature. But this is a heavily concealed trait. While Ellian is quite arrogant, he is not extroverted enough to speak his mind. Very private and passive, Ellian is more likely to keep his arrogance to himself.

[Reckless] [Not thinking or caring about the consequences of an action.]
Ellian leaps head first into situations without taking the time to consider the consequences. Needless to say, this has the potential to end badly when he already knows everything. Impulsive by nature, Ellian is perhaps a little too active for his own good. His open mindedness and hyperactive personality oftentimes leaves him scattered in different directions.

[Melancholy] [Characterized by a feeling of pensive sadness, typical with no obvious cause.]
He is very guarded and often gives off a dark, menacing aura. He is more or less defined by tragedy. He has a lot weighing on his shoulders, and he often wears his emotions on his sleeve. He can also be very moody... The easiest way to trigger him is to challenge his decisions or call him out on being wrong. He can't stand being called a liar either. Or have his flaws pointed out. While he is very self-aware, and spends ample time berating himself, he does not like others doing this.

[Rebellious] [Showing a desire to resist authority, control, or convention. Not easily handled or kept in place.]
Ellian absolutely loathes highly structured environments. Blindly following rules without receiving explanations as to why is not this tom's style. And his disdain flows even stronger for authority figures who demand such things from him. Anyone who wishes to control him is certain to clash with him. But he lacks the motivation to stand up for himself. Instead, he usually just leaves; hence the 'loner' persona.

[Brooding] [Showing deep unhappiness of thought; appearing darkly or menacing.]
Since the death of Chaya, Ellian has not been quite the same. The majority of his cognitive ability is spent focusing on how much he loathes himself. This gives him a rather dark aura, and he is quite intimidating to strangers. Whenever he is in a sulking mood, he can be a bit moody and prone to being argumentative or confrontational. Without something to occupy his thoughts, Ellian turns to brooding. This is one of his most defining traits. To most, it makes him appear mysterious. Many are drawn to the silent vigilante who watches his city from the solitude of a high perch.

H i s t o r y
Ellian and his younger brother and sister were orphaned at a rather young age. Being the oldest, and more capable of fending for himself, he taught his younger siblings everything their parents could not. He excelled in hunting and various other means of forging, proving himself capable of surviving in the City of Sundown. When he was about a year old, he was separated from his siblings. Distraught, he wondered around aimlessly, focusing only on finding them. But he would have no luck. The guilt crushed him, and he was determined to spend the remainder of his days in solitude, enveloped by the feeling of loss.

Months would go by, and his nature slowly turned arrogant. After living in solitude on the outskirts of the city, he had grown complacent. To distract himself from his failure of protecting his siblings, he all but pushed those memories from his mind, obsessing on his strengths instead. To him, he was the most successful cat out here: able to find food and water for himself in such a baring wasteland, keep himself hidden from the Infected. He smelled the scents of other cats occasionally, but did not bother himself with them. He needed no one. The young tom recalled vague memories of a story his mother told him; of a cat, black as night, who survived alone. This cat didn't need the support of others, and it survived dwelling among the infected. If this mysterious cat could survive, so could he.

The loneliness did not effect him.... at least not until nightfall. From inside his small refuge, he could here the sounds of the infected hunting. And it chilled him to the core.

One morning while he was out searching for water, he ran into a young she-cat. She was a pretty creature, graceful and quite capable too. She made advancements in the hope of friendship, but Ellian denied her each time. At first he detested her, and ignored her very existence. But she was a persistent thing, and continued to follow the dark tom (much to his annoyance).
Eventually, her patience would pay off. Ellian was very sick and it was the heart of winter. He had no choice but to accept her help, and she was eager to give it. The young she-cat hunted for him, nurtured him, and nursed him back to health. In turn, Ellian was moved by her compassion, and eventually accepted her as a life long companion and his best friend, maybe even something more. For the first time in moons, he had a family again.

But his happiness would not last for long.

They would spend an entire season together before they found themselves returning to Winter. Resources had become very scarce, and one day while they were out foraging, the pair found themselves far from shelter. With nightfall closing in, they were in a very dangerous situation. Despite Chaya's pleas, Ellian insisted that they continue on searching through the night. A year of good fortune had inflated his ego, and his stubbornness outweighed his ability to listen to his companion.

His poor judgement costed him the life of his best friend that night. Chaya gave her life defending him from the monsters, leading them away from Ellian, who had sprung his paw and found himself unable to flee.

The next morning he found her red scarf on the ground beside a dumpster. While he searched and searched, Ellian never saw her again. Not a corpse nor even the smallest trace of his dear Chaya could be salvaged. Crushed by guilt, he went out to avenge his companion's death, but was found by a Cahaya patrol. They offered him a place to stay and he accepted. Silently vowing to his late love that he would live the remainder of his life for others, to protect and hunt for them just as she did for him. She would not have wanted him to live alone, after all. Sometimes, he swears that he still hears her voice from time to time. She walks his dreams as well, but she never speaks directly to him. He only sees her walking away, leaving him to wake up with a hollow feeling in his chest.

For the following moons, Ellian would hunt and gather precious resources for his gang. But despite his endeavors, he remained distant. He slept apart from them, ate by himself, and preferred to patrol by himself. Wanting to keep his paws busy, he rarely stopped to rest. So enveloped in his past and business, the tom never got a chance to bond with his Gang-mates. This led to his strong feelings of melancholy and loneliness.

But eventually, others began taking interest in him, forcing him to socialize. The first cat he met was another raider named Selia. She was a lively little creature, and always could bring a smile to the dark tom's face despite himself. The two became close friends and shared many adventures, not all safe adventures, but adventures nonetheless. She was the only cat Ellian really opened up to in the Cahaya Gang. It wasn't until they stumbled upon an Infected's nest and almost lost their lives that he felt the first stirrings of something more than friendship. It was now obvious to Ellian that he fancied the blue-gray she-cat, but he cared not to think of it. He never mentioned his feelings to her, and probably never will. Whenever his heart tried to open up to her, the thought of his first love would always close it off. Not wanting her to be an echo of his love for Chaya, Ellian began distancing himself from her. He felt it was for the best.

The tom once again began to sulk in his memories, exiling himself to solitude. He spent more and more time away from his Gang, sleeping in his old shelter--the one he shared with Chaya. The abandoned car was his sanctuary in a scary world, but it did not cure his loneliness.

One evening, he ran into a Suran patrol. Ellian knew little of the rival gang who lived just south of the Great Divide, but the cats did not seem too intimidating. This was when he made the acquaintance of Ty, Talicka, and Crystal. Ty, the youngest of the group, was amusing. Ellian enjoyed his sharp tongue and independence. He would run into this young tom a few more times, but never really got to know him. Talicka, the one who wielded the most authority, was not exactly his favorite cat as far as first impressions go. She didn't seem very friendly, and left quite abruptly after bickering with the young student. Crystal was the most...peculiar... of the bunch. She always seems to be looking at things that were not there. But despite how strange the group of cats were, Ellian felt envy for their sense of belonging. Inspired, he returned to Cahaya that night.

A few moons later, life slowly began to look up for the wayward Raider. He had friends, a new family with his Gang, and a profession that kept the memories at bay. The tom soon began to grow ambitious. The raider wanted to prove himself and sought out the position of chief, growing quite competitive with his peers. As he was working towards his goal, he became more friendly and outgoing. He began to approach cats and start conversations more rather than lingering in the background. Soon, he began to yearn for an apprentice. This new ambition was sparked when he met Cassie. She was a young she-cat who was taken in by the Cahaya, and would be ready to start training soon. Teaching her some pointers at hunting and showing her the territory made him realize that he was looking forward to mentorship.

But then everything went dark.

Cats went missing, infected now ruled the streets. Ellian's world was being torn apart, and just when he was finally starting to live. With the cataclysm raining down, Ellian could not bear it anymore. Among the missing was his trusted friend Selia. Despite the distance he had kept between him, her absence was devastating. She was gone. His leader and deputy missing. Almost all the other raiders gone as well. There was nothing in the Cahaya left for him now. Distraught and depressed, the tom fled. The remainder of his days would be spent hiding away upon a rooftop, destined to watch over the Dead City for moons to come.
The life of a hermit was not an easy one. In fact, it took quite a toll on his emotions. He missed the company of others, the feeling of companionship living with his gang provided. One winter morning, Ellian stumbled upon a new face. She introduced herself to him, and the pair spent the day talking. Luna was a strange creature. She lived out in the Library. Ellian would occasionally visit her, and the two would read (though Luna did most of the reading due to Ellian's limited knowledge of human writings). It was from her that Ellian learned how to make sense of the mysterious etchings.

Feeling a new sense of purpose that her friendship provided, Ellian began to hunt for his gang once more, or what was left of them. He never returned to the camp, but he would leave prey outside the entrance. It was the least he could do for them.

But things steadily got worse and worse. Ellian began to face the facts. He was convinced that all would perish. More and more infected were wondering about the shadowy streets, and they were growing in intelligence as much as they were growing in numbers. Ellian began to observe the Soulless beasts, studying their behavior from his high perch.

One morning he found a pack of them preying on an injured feline. The former raider jumped to the rescue; he would not stand by while another cat fall into the jaws of infected. Luring the monsters away, he rounded back and dragged the injured tom up to his hide out, and there he watched over him until he recovered. With much encouragement, the burly tom grew to trust Ellian, and the two became friends. In the dark moons that would follow, the unlikely pair took on the task of surviving in the Dead City together.

When Ellian got word of the Gangs exodus from the City, he made the decision to follow suit. Trailing after them, he was determined to seek out a new life, away from the now truly dead city.
