Character Name: Alonzo
Tribal Affiliation: Jellicle
Tribal Position: Secondary Tribe Protector
Age: 30s
Gender: Tomcat
Family: Son: Pouncival; Daughter: Oswin (both unknown) Mate: Aria (deceased
)
Physical Appearance:
Personality: He is a fighter and a charmer. He will stop at nothing to defend his tribe...or flirt with a queen. His ideal situation would be one in which he got to play the hero and rescue a "damsel in distress." Truth be told, however, in his heart of hearts he would rather find just one queen who he could be with always, protect and cherish. But he's not getting any younger, and he's beginning to give up hope of ever settling down with someone. His flirtatiousness is an appearance he puts out - a wall, if you will, to
keep from being hurt. He hero-worships Munkustrap, who seems to him to be the perfect gentletom and the perfect protector, all at once. His dream goal is to be like Munk, though he would never admit as much.
History: Born to a litter of kittens by a queen whose owner didn't want anymore cats, Alonzo spent most of his kittenhood on the streets. Sometimes he would stay alone, other times he would come across another cat and they'd help each other out for a while. One day, he met a tom who told him he'd be better off with a larger group -
more protection, etc. - and he knew of a good one. He took Alonzo to Macavity's tribe, and Lonzo became a Hench for a while. He soon began to get the feeling, however, that the life of a Hench was not the life he'd want to live. He stayed, though, having nowhere else to go, and he took his part in a number of bloody deeds, for which to this day he still feels overwhelming shame and remorse. Worst of all, he fell in love with a queen who Macavity had captured. He secretly helped her escape. The idea was for her to run off to someplace far away and never return. But one night, Alonzo found someone lurking around near the warehouse, and it was his queen. She had found a safe place to stay in the city, but had to come back and see him. Despite the danger, the two continued to meet whenever they could. But they were eventually found out. The other henches bided their time for a while longer, looking for the opportunity to put a stop to the situation. Finally, they came up with an ambush plan and lay in wait for the two to come to their regular meeting place. Sure enough, Alonzo was just coming out from behind an old dumpster, and his queen was carefully making her way towards him. But she never got there. Alonzo watched, horrified, as the Henches emerged from their hiding places and attacked her. He quickly jumped into the fray, but there were too many Henches, and he couldn't save her. What he didn't know, and still doesn't know, is that his queen was coming to tell him that they had a kitten.
That was the final straw. Alonzo left the Henches, wandering around for days, until he finally found his way to the Junkyard. Untrusting of anyone, Alonzo at first went back to his lonely life on the streets, only returning to the Yard occasionally. Gradually, however, he's gotten to know more of the Jellicles, and thinks of the Junkyard as his home. The guilt of the cats he has killed and of his inability to save the queen he loved, still haunts him. To compensate, he often puts up walls between him and queens, and is fiercely protective of everyone so as not to be guilty of failing to save anyone again.
Powers: N/A
RP Sample: "Just hold up a bit," said Alonzo. "We've gotta make sure we know what we're actually going to do! I mean, we can't all just thunder in there at once...there's way too large a group. We'll have to... spread out. Now, most likely Macavity's got henchcats patrolling the construction site now, after his little run-in with Mungo and Teazer... Someone... a couple people... should go and...start a little fight with them. Nothing huge, mind; in fact, if you could even just keep them talking and not get physical at all, that'd be great. Any volunteers?" He looked around at them. Then he reddened slightly, and added, "If everyone thinks that's a good idea, I mean." He'd sort of automatically gone into 'leadership mode', now that both Munkustrap and Old D. were gone, but the others might not like it.
...
Alonzo was anxious to be off, but he also saw that this queen needed serious help. Still, he stood there irresolute, wanting more than anything to go rescue his friends, but
also hating to see this queen in distress. But what could he do? She'd run like a rabbit from Bill... Slowly, he approached and knelt down near her, but not too near... He didn't look directly at her, nor touch her, since that seemed to terrify her. "We're not going to hurt you," he said softly.
...
His heart was now pounding fit to burst. But he endeavored to keep himself under control. "Yes, let's try to steer clear of these places in future, yeah? Well...unless you
ever start having doubts about my ability. Then I'll just come beat up a few henchcats for ya, show you just how tough I can be." Alonzo paused. He opened his mouth, then shut it. This isn't... But then he shook his head. Suddenly it didn't matter that this 'wasn't the right time to talk about such things.' It seemed to him that no time would be better. He loved her, and why shouldn't he act now? "Bomba..." He swallowed hard. Suddenly his throat had become dry. He tried again. "Bombalurina." That sounded better. "I know this may sound... stupid, or immature, or whatever, but --- I don't care. I love you and I want you to be my mate," he finished, really fast. There, it's out!
((sorry, went a little crazy there... xP Samples from previous times RPing him...hope that's ok.
)
Comments: Um...well, he's really strong...can use his strength to protect the tribe. ... Yep, that's about all.
Oh dear... His history... I can't believe I did this to him... *sob*
