Cairo

**Cairo** is a skinny, long-furred light brown tom with dark brown points, tufted ears, a long, fluffy tail, and bright green eyes. He is roleplayed by Cheetahspark.

## History

Cairo was a part of an isolated free cat group for most of his life before he decided that he wanted more adventure and set off to explore the world around him. To his great disappointment, the world sucked. Cats were constantly fighting, society itself was in shambles, and the environment was crumbling around them.

As Cairo traveled for a few more moons and became quite acquainted with the world, learning almost every bit of history, his anger grew. He knew he needed to do *something* to fix it, but what? His answer came in the form of Sophia. Once he learned of her, he wanted to see her immediately, but he knew he shouldn’t show up empty-pawed. It struck him. What was better than one volunteer? Two.

He knew he needed to find one more cat (one with their fair share of uses) to offer to Sophia along with himself. While he was traveling through a city, he noticed Aria. He saw underneath her guise to the clever cat underneath, and he knew that she was the kind of cat Sophia wanted. So he tempted her with something he knew would get her alone with him – the prospect of manipulating him. And then he called on Sophia. Aria never saw it coming.

## Personality

Cairo is ready for adventure and is determined to tackle whatever task is ahead. Once he sets his mind to a task, he won't give up on it. He is quite vengeful, and blames everyone for the state of the world. He can't possibly conceive that he could be doing anything wrong, which he perceives as confidence, but what everyone else knows is arrogance. Cairo is quite zealous, and threw himself at the chance to serve Sophia. He'd do anything for her, which makes him dangerous. He often lets his emotions -- mostly anger -- get in the way of common sense, mostly do to the way he was brought up. This makes him very aggressive, and he would do whatever it takes to accomplish his goals.

As the Tests go on, Cairo gets more and more fanatical, going as far as to attack other participants to see if they're "worthy." It is a deeply hidden sense of desperation that drives his actions in this stage, because he doesn't know what he's going to do if he fails the Tests.

## During the Tests 2.0

Turned up in the second Wait. Aria immediately confronted him, but he didn't see it as much of a problem. He assumed she would warm up to the cause eventually. He then began a conversation with a cat named Ember, hoping she would be more open toward's Sophia's advances.

When Test 2 started, he went to the Air Tower. He struck up a conversation with a cat named Sonata, trying to flirt with her, but she wasn't appreciative of his advances. Another cat showed up, Camellia, who told Cairo to back off. The whole situation made him feel uncomfortable and slightly insecure in his abilities - his wit had never failed him before. What had changed?

The Air Tower had then gotten more difficult as wind started blowing cats off of their paws. Cairo had found the wind easy to navigate, but his temper and recklessness drove him to attack another participant, Foxglove.
