"What kind of name is 'Jack-B-Nimble?'" Arel boggled, pausing halfway between stamping the form.
"IT COULD BE WORSE," boomed a voice from the door marked 'Hellma's office'. "THEY COULD BE CALLED 'SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE'. OR WOULD YOU LIKE THE INFORM THE NEXT STUDENT ORIENTATION OF YOUR NEW NAME?"
Not a single word of insult escaped the ice demon's lips for the next two hours.

Name: Jack-B-Nimble Nicknames: Jack, JackB Gender: Male Age:16, 17 18! (Birthday is Unknown, he just adds a year every new years.)
Faction/Race Demon (Nekogami - "Cat God" )
Height: 6'4, without his shoes. Weight: 170lbs, or so. Build: Not exactly unhealthy, more like a small frame, very lean. Eye colour: Florescent green. No pupils, just a strange glow. Hair colour: A coin toss between brown and black. depends on the lighting. Distinguishing marks: xxxxxA large cross like scar over his right side of his face and over his forhead - doesn't effect his vision or motor functions of his face. xxxxxHoles in his ears, where he hangs some bobbles through. xxxxxA glasgow like smile, it stretches far across his mouth when he's amused. xxxxxLong tail, and ears in black, bright green and red marks along the tail. xxxxxA ton of baubles and charms around his neck, and arms. It's very rare to see Jack without some kind of jewelry on. xxxxxA black and florescent green mask. Said to be haunted, or cursed - only he really knows, but he carries it everywhere with him (whether he wants to, or not.) It's like items on MMORPGs, soulbound to him.
Personality: Pacifistic, cat-loving, sitar playing, vagabond. That sums up Jack in a whole - a nomadic soul who enjoys the lack of a solid home, followed by an allegiance of cats. Also, Jack just about oozes charm, this is a double-edged sword, though, and sometimes he finds himself locked in conversations that, normally, he wouldn't be interested in. Sometimes he wishes he could trade some of it for something a little more useful - like luck, brains, or shiny things. Not one to put up a fight, Jack is primarily all defense - and will only put his dukes up if it's for a friend, in dire need, or if his cats fall in danger. Also, any jokes pertaining him and candle sticks automatically warrant a good thumping, any time.
One of his main weaknesses are anything that shimmers or shines. An immediate attention grab, Jack is always willing to do things to entertain for something that sparkles, be it a bit of change or a bangle, it'll always catch his attention. He is not a kleptomaniac in any way, he just really likes collecting things that catch the eye, or jingle happily.
Why did they enroll at the academy? Having been the result of an unsavory relationship of a mother who was knee deep in the rich life, Jack was given up to an orphanage at a young age - a thrown away child of convenience. Not that he cared too much for the lack of support from those who shared genetics with him, he was raised in a caring environment, constantly chided into using his powers and learning what he could from those who had the slightest sense of his abilities.
It was not until he left the orphanage of his free will - alone in the world, save a couple of cats who had sworn allegiance to him - lifelong friends that walked his path, that he was met face to face with the man who helped bring him to a world that easily threw him aside. A wild fire, Jack learned to dislike this man who shared genetics with him - a father only by name - wild and careless with what he did, and who he did it too, drunk on his own power as a Nekogami.
Feeling a little put off from a poor excuse of a father, it didn't take long for Jack to find his way to Amityville, using whatever funds his mother had given the orphanage to keep him at bay, and what he could scrounge up wandering the world. He thinks that he almost owes the world for the poor excuse of a man that his father is, such raw power used wildly, and does not want to become him. He considers this his one chance to tame whatever power he was born into, and will use it sparingly, for whatever good he can muster up, as he wanders the world.
. . . All though, deep down inside, Jack has always wanted to be some kind of King of Cats. It just sounds so cool.
Fear: Year 1:Shadow Dancing; Swift Strike Y1 - Jack's fear is an illusion-bound fear, and conjures murky shadow cats with glowing eyes and jagged maws - sometimes oozing a glowing substance that appears to some like blood. Depending on the familiar he's with, as Jack's fear depends on a feline companion, (naturally meaning Jack always has one of his entendre following him around,) the physical look of the shadow cat will change. Primarily a defense mechanism, and is mainly used to spook, scare or diverge attention from the caster. No two cats will have the same illusion.
A downside of this skill is, to use a feline companion as a sort of spell-reflector, he needs to know that the cat swears allegiance to him, (thus the "cat king" title desire,) or else the spell will fail. So basically: Cat who doesn't care for jack = Cat that he cannot reflect.
Year 2:Shadow Play; - Swift Strike Y2 - An extention to his Y1 ability, Jack now has the ability to exploit the shadows that he calls forth from his feline friends, and uses his fear-abilities to make them corporeal and able to physically defend and fight. This takes more concentration and can make him physically exhausted if used for an extended amount of time.
Year 3: King's Breath - Y3 The Chill - Jack, realizing he is more of a defender, a pacifier, someone who is willing to help more than hinder, has decided to go with healing. Using an extent of his fear, he heals some of the fear of a friend or himself.
Natural Ability:
Year 1:Natural Form; He doesn't use it often, but Jack can temporarily revert to his feline form - which is basically a larger than normal black tom cat, marked with atomic green eyes, a crooked smile and black, red and white markings. ( It's Jack, if you know him, you know what he looks like. )
Year 2:Feline Impression; Jack will be able to impress a cat with his psyche for a few minutes (five at maximum), in order to follow them around - usually in the need of information and sneaking around. This does not harm, or change the psyche of the cat in mind, it would be like having a collar around it's neck, or an itch on it's side - just another mind around it, taking in information.
Also, he will not be able to hold his body and the psyche attached to the cat, so his body will be slumped/out of commission - meaning his physical body will be vulnerable.
Year 3:Headlessness; Did you know Jack can take his head off? Nor did he. Jack, being an orphan from birth was not aware that it was part of his genetics. Now he does.
A limitation is Jack cannot be too far from his body, or else his fear will be too stretched. Best to say he could be a few rooms away from his head before he starts feeling ill. If his head was removed far away, he could potentially suffer vast consequences.

A simple room that is scarcely filled. You'd almost think musical cats owned the room - as it's barely lived in, and the only thing that usually hanging around are cats and musical instruments. Jack is not well accustomed to being a homebody.
A glass panel stands on the side of the room, filled with musical writing and notes. It seems that someone suffers from insomnia, sometimes.
JACK HAS CATS. YES HE DO. JACK HAS CATS. HOW 'BOUT YOU?
Eins is the oldest, only by a couple weeks, next to Zwei, and is considered the leader of the bunch. He is a bit of a grumpy pants and sort of keeps to himself, being a partially tamed feral. He is a domestic shorthaired tabby, and 7 years. Zwei is second oldest by a couple weeks, and is considered Eins' right paw. He is calm and collected, and very fathering to the younger of the troupe. Most likely to be with Jack. He's a Nebelung, and 7 years. Drei is . . Drei. He is a special cat who Jack adopted when he was given away as a kitten. He's got a few things wrong in the head, but Jack really loves his special kitten. Even if he gets in trouble. He is a Tuxedo Domestic short haired, and just turned 7. Vier is the least likely to take a joke and a bit of a sore cat, having been adopted with his sister, Fünf, as adults. He teaches the kittens what they need to know, and is a pure black domestic short hair mix, he is 6. Fünf is a little calmer than her brother, but won't take anything lying down. Was adopted as adults with Vier, and is a pure white domestic short hair mix, she is 6. Sechs (laying) is a cat with a sleeping problem, and is usually found in the window sill. He doesn't go very far, as Jack is always worried he will fall asleep and get in harms way, but does get to enjoy some outings while he can. He is a Maine Coon x; tabby colour, and is 5 years. Seiben is the show girl, sweet and proper, she gives an air of a high class lady when she can. She loves getting out with Jack, and has seen the human world a couple times, but whines when her equalibrium is offset. She was the most expensive, is Javanese, and 4 years old. Acht is a little essentric, and known to try to go off any deep end he can find. A thrill seeker, he's likely to walk across a line of vicious dogs to see what would happen. He is a Balinese, who Jack found in a box, and is 3 years old. Neun is like Vier Jr. - someone who cannot take a joke and is very serious and proper. Basically a tank of a cat, he's very defense based. He is a Russian Blue and is 3 years old. Zehn is a sweetheart, trying to love on everyone he can find. Jack worries one day he'll be catnapped for being such a suck. Usually likely to be wringing himself between legs, Jack found him that exact way. He is 2 years old, and a Silver Tabby. Elf and Zwölf were found in a ditch, being ferals - they're a little bit of trouble makers, usually trying to annoy Eins, who is their hero, (especially for Zwölf, having lost an eye also,) and try to get in everything with their "little brother" Dreizehn. Elf has two eyes, Zwölf has one. They just recently turned 1, and are a pair of twin Firepoint Siamese. Dreizehn is Jack's baby, and sucks up to him whenever he can. Recently found, he was given to Jack by his father, whom he dislikes, as a show of good faith and wish for luck in his endeavours, being a breed who brings luck. He is a Calico Japanese Bobtail, with heterochromia, and only about 7 months.

Jack has an eyepod. It took him a couple weeks of working hard at making people appreciate his artistic skills of dancing and playing a relatively heavy instrument. After successfully hacking into a library computer, he spent a few hours cramming as much music into the damn thing as he could before the staff could realize. Jack has a lot of music. Everything from German rock, to Musicals, to .. yes, even music that talks about cats. Here's the last thirty-some songs he listened to, as a sliver of what he's usually bobbing around to:
1. Rammstein - Sonne 2. Rammstein - Rosenrot 3. Nightwish - Moondance 4. The Beatles - Happiness is a Warm Gun 5. Stray Cats - Stray Cat Strut 6. Cats - Memories 7. Kurumi - World Ends Super Nova 8.

Just like Jack's cats, his minipets are just as open to wander his room and belongings as is, a handful of them being his 'prized possessions' - friendships that withstand barriers of time.
. . . he also has a slight addiction to a certain colour scheme, even if he'd deny it.
Julien is pretty much the king, the alpha of his mini pets, and a bit of a cranky pants. The cats have taken to loving him endlessly, and he's not sure how to feel about it. Cheli was the first to ascend, and Julien listens to whatever he says, even if he is the Alpha.
Krumm, Seltsam and Jenova are his underlings, and only take orders from him and Cheli. Krumm, being the oldest out of all of them, usually runs the ropes around things. Jack got him from the first train. Synth is the fighter, and a bit of a sleepy loner, but the cats still love him.
Rem Jr., Tomo Jr. and Sam are scareons that Jack loves, because they're tiny constant forms of three people he really cares about.
