[color=Thistle][b]Name:[/b][/color] Ukyo

[color=Thistle][b]Species:[/b][/color] Bakenekko

[color=Thistle][b]Age:[/b][/color] 14

[color=Thistle][b]Gender:[/b][/color] Male

[color=Thistle][b]Appearance:[/b][/color] Ukyo looks like every other cat on the block, except that he walks on his hind legs and is prone to wearing clothes. While he believes himself to be a purebred Russian Blue he's really just a domestic shorthair with blue-grey fur, and heterochromic blue and red eyes. Starting at the base of his long, long tail, the fur fades into a silvery white. Regardless of the season or weather, when you pet him there's a 1/10 chance that you'll get shocked. 
He physically cannot write, open jars, or turn round doorknobs. Please help him.
Though he doesn't like shifting into a human form because he thinks he's fine the way he is and it's more tiring than it's worth, when he does he looks like so: ([url=http://s13.postimg.org/k2p8i1yxj/tumblr_inline_n033mv_Xjgz1ru8mr6.jpg]x[/url]).

[color=Thistle][b]Faction:[/b][/color] Entertainer, pretty soon.

[color=Thistle][b]Personality:[/b][/color] He fits the stereotypical trickster archetype: he's charismatic, silver-tongued, and ever the prankster. He's a very happy person who's willing to be friends with just about anyone, even if they screw him over—they'll reap what they sow in time, after all. It's not his problem!
He has the terrible habit of taking nothing seriously, and uses his sense of humor to hide hurt feelings and/or anger and it's made him somewhat jittery and anxious over the years. He raps his claws a lot and when he's stressed he has a habit of running back and forth around the room like a speed-demon with his fur standing on end and his claws extended.
He loves ripping up furniture.
His favorite food is sardines and he'll love you forever if you'll open a can for him (he has a hard time doing it with his paws).
He's very punny, and very bad at it.
He likes jazz, blues, classical, ambient, and game/movie soundtracks.

[color=Thistle][b]Biography:[/b][/color] Ukyo was born to relatively normal housecats, but blessed with a rather gifted intelligence that set him apart as a sentient being early on. His parents' owners were well aware what he was, but since it wasn't the 1700's anymore, were too liberal to chop his tail off to dampen his yōkai magic. 
Rather, Ukyo was taken in as their child and raised to be a normal person, going to normal (albeit expensive and upper class) schools and playing pranks on his friends. 
He lacked the characteristic dancing talents of his kind save for his uncanny Charleston, t[s]hough he does enjoy dancing and doesn't care if he looks silly[/s], but developed a talent for music. 
He's a new student here, so he has no faction yet—I think I know where he's going to end up, though.

[color=Thistle][b]Powers:[/b][/color] A very talented shapeshifter, Ukyo is able to take on the appearance of people much larger or smaller than he. He can even mimic someone's fingerprints, with the exceptions of this ability being that he 1.) cannot become something with a non-functioning brain, 2.) he cannot reproduce his target's supernatural or physical abilities, 3.) it fatigues him to shift, and he can only do it maybe three or four times a day.
He also has the uncanny ability to walk without making a sound and can get shit past the radar with ease. You know how a cat can move across the room in a minute if you turn your back? Yeah, that shit's a superpower and he has it.

[color=Thistle][b]Abilities:[/b][/color] He knows English and Feline fluently, and tidbits of Japanese from his "grandparents".
He's an excellent liar and charmer, able to swashbuckle his way out of trouble (most of the time).
Enhanced agility, y'know, because he's a cat. He can also talk to other cats, as mentioned above.
He can play a few miscellaneous string and wind instruments, including the windpipes, the sax, and the electric bass, though trying to find them in his size are difficult.
He knows swing but can't dance anything else.
He can pass as a regular, low-intelligence feline if he walks on all fours, but that would, like, require getting [i]naked[/i] and he's not doing that.

[color=Thistle][b]Weapons:[/b][/color] His claws do finely, thank you.

[color=Thistle][b]Other:[/b][/color] Is that Prince Lune from [i]The Cat Returns[/i]? Yes it is Prince Lune from [i]The Cat Returns[/i], thank you for asking! Is that Yato from Noragami? Yes. Yes it is. Speaks in [color=Thistle][b]Thistle.[/b][/color] Char theme: ([url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEnUhgvh2OY]x[/url])
