A note for CR AU applications
Ruby City does allow previous game history/CR to be brought over on a case by case basis. If you want to include this in your application please add additional sections for PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT and PREVIOUS GAME HISTORY beneath the Personality and Background/History sections.
In these additional sections we would like to see a brief outline of your character's previous game history and how it potentially impacted on and altered their canon personality.
Re: [CANON] Nepeta Leijon || Homestuck || Reserve || 2 of 2
[ The train rode quickly through the landscape, leaving a cloud of smoke on its way. To contrast with the loud noise made by the powerful wheels pulling the heavy carriages, these were empty and silent on the inside. One could walk down the eerily empty hallways and completely ignore the small figure kneeling on one of the seats, looking out the window with big, curious eyes.
She didn’t recall how she got there, when she got there; she wasn’t even sure where she was going. She simply woke up there, alone.
She tried to remember. How did she end up there? She could recall the laboratory and the meteor. Her friends. Her moirail. The honks.
Then everything went black.
In a glance, she noticed the train was approaching a city. She gasped and pressed her hands and nose on the glass, admiring the strange buildings protruding from the end of the fields. What was that? Where is she? Maybe there are some people there who can help her!
The train stopped once it reached the station, the young troll almost falling off her seat. She rushed down the hallway, out the door, into the platform, finally free and in open air, a welcomed breeze touching her hair and face, nose taking in the new smells, eyes darting around, looking at the new sights…and no one to welcome her. No one there at all, really.
She blinked and looked around, taking a couple of steps forward.]
Hello?
[ No answer.
So the small feline—pardon, small troll, found herself in a completely new place. And what do you do when you find yourself in a completely new place you know nothing about?
That’s right!
Time for some exploring! :33]
Third Person:
It was a quiet day in the park. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, not a cloud darkened the sky. Even the little critters made their way out of their burrows and nest and were enjoying a nice day in the warm sunlight. Look! You could even see a little bunnyrabbit , hopping away through the grass, most probably looking for some food to feed itself and its family. Just another day’s work for the small creature, same old same old. Sunrise, sunset.
But, little did it know, it was not a normal day. Oh no. In the nearby bushes, there she hid. The small troll hid away, watching the small critter with undying focus. Her eyes never straying, her senses sharpened, her rear up and wriggling as she prepared for the hunt.
“The mighty huntress watches the unsuspecting prey…” She apparently whispered to herself, with undying confidence.
The rabbit nibbled away at a patch of grass, and she moved forward. You can’t rush this sort of thing, you see; the little critters might not put up much of a fight, but they’re not stupid! They’re always keeping an eye out for trouble and danger. But they couldn’t see her. Never her. Not until it was too late. And, by then, she had won.
She started moving forward, so quiet, so stealthily, creeping up behind the small creature. She kept her head low and her steps slow. Her long years of experience (even though, technically, 6 sweeps aren’t necessarily a long amount of time, but let’s not saunter in details) had told her that good things come to those who wait. Most good things, she found, involved a nice chase and good meals.
“The long eared rodent, unaware of the danger, just ate away at the fresh, yummy grass. Hmm, how tasty it was! It didn’t even notice the roguish meowbeast sneaking up behind it, licking at her fangs as she-“
But it did notice. Before she could finish her self-inserted monologue, the rabbit raised its head and turned suddenly, staring at the strange new creature. Nepeta stopped in her tracks, holding her breath, in a quiet yet intense struggle of silent combat. They both stood in their places, staring at each other; you could cut the tension with a knife! But they couldn’t stay like that forever. Carefully, she tried to move forward, but before she could take a step, the rabbit took off at high speeds; Nepeta gasped, and quickly ran after the rodent. The chase was on.
They ran across the grass, through the bushes, pass the trees; in dashes, in sprints, in zigzags and in circles. Neither of them was giving up, and neither of them showed signs of exhaustion. She ran surprisingly fast in her hands and feet, for a bipedal creature; she could just barely keep up with the wild animal. Guess her feral instincts (as she might put it) took over, and she never, ever lost track of her target.
“The smaller animal was fast, but so was she! The huntress kept up her chase, determined to catch what would soon become her meal! She would never give up!! NEVER!!”
The two kept running, in a race for life or death. But there it was; the rabbit had almost reached its burrow. It made a sprint for its home, and the girl saw it. She wasn’t about to let her prey escape. She leaped high into the air, pouncing at the small furry creature—and she got it! Gripping its small body with her claws and biting its neck with her teeth, the pounce send them both tumbling through the grass. They hit a bush, and the animal still kicked a couple of times, but, eventually, it had to let go. It was finally quiet again, and the “mighty huntress” had won.
She panted a few times before a large, cat-like smile took over her face. She stood up, holding her soon-to-be meal in her bloodied fingers, making her way to whatever place she had chosen to reside in that new town.
“After a respectable chase, AC finally captures her prey, as was expected all along! No creature ever escaped her claws, and this time was no different! She carries her meal back to her cave, to take delight on the fresh meat.”
To end her silly ramble, she giggled, sinking her fangs into the furry hide, setting herself back on her hands and feet (or paws!) and rushing back to her shelter, satisfied with the productive day of hunting.
