Aeroki

> "*“I get what you mean,” They sighed and nodded; Aeroki knew what Rapid meant on that. After all, her father had neglected her and her siblings, as well as their mother never seeming to treat them properly. How ironic that blood spills blood, and the cycle continues over and over and over… “It’s practically impossible for cats to depend on kin during these times. Too much blood is spilt by blood.”*"

## History

She was originally born a City cat, but left after feeling too cramped and secluded in the city. They also managed to leave the city by accidentally getting lost and ending up as a Free cat, as they’re an airhead.

Aeroki also came from a violent part of where the City cats were, which was a major factor in her upbringing. Aeroki's littermates are Tempest, Paratyl, and Yarran. Her mother, Sang, was not exactly the best at raising her kits, as she constantly would compare them to the Free cats (which Sang did not like) and her kits never seemed to reach her standards. Their father Azize was never in their lives, and Aeroki always longed to meet him. And then he came to see them.

Azize was not what Aeroki thought he was.

The tom was contempt, full of himself, and didn't seem to care much for Aeroki, their mother, or her littermates. After he left, Sang grew much worse, and constantly lashed out at her kits.

That was when Tempest and Paratyl had enough.

They had a plan to end Sang's life right then and there, and offered Yarran and Aeroki to help them. Yarran immediately refused, and Aeroki stuck with Yarran out of loyalty, since they were close. Tempest was disappointed, but understood. Paratyl was angry. Later that same day, Aeroki woke to find Yarran dead with Paratyl's scent hanging around. Aeroki then confronted them, only to see them ready to kill Sang in cold blood. They then goaded Aeroki into killing Sang, along with Paratyl taunting her. Aeroki didn't know how to react afterwards. On one paw, the one who had caused Aeroki and her littermates pain was gone for good. On the other paw, Aeroki was a murderer.

Aeroki couldn't help but think that it was Paratyl's fault. After all, he was the one who killed Yarran and goaded her into killing their mother, right? With a hint of rage, Aeroki had gone to search out Paratyl and end his crime. Later, they had Paratyl at her mercy once she'd found him, and finally finished him off. But she felt disgusted with themself. Like they were empty. After a lot of running away and fleeing from her problems, Aeroki eventually tried to make things work better in a new home.

It did not work at all.

Eventually Aeroki was shunned and secluded to the point where she decided to wander off again, but this time to somewhere new. She reached the home of a group of Free cats. By then the scent of being a City cat wore off. By complete luck, she ended up becoming a Free cat and could finally be free of her past.

*That. Was. A. Lie.*

Aeroki couldn't shake off the disturbing feeling she got, knowing she killed members of her family. Feeling null and void. Like it was fate. Like it was karma, just waiting to happen. Of course, Aeroki didn't want to remember that part of their life, but unfortunately she did. That was when Sophia came to her.

She took up Sophia’s offer mainly because they had no idea what it was and because she didn’t really understand too much…I’m not sure how to describe it. :P

## Personality

Aeroki is a easy going cat, always seeming to go with the flow. She often has their head in the clouds and doesn’t pay too much attention to others, which is an annoyance for some cats. It’s easy for her to start conversations with other cats, but it’s incredibly difficult for them to keep a discussion going for too long since she has trouble paying attention.

They’re not a good hunter, as her attention is always diverted when trying. She’s surprisingly an okay fighter for an airhead, as long as she’s busy fighting another cat.

As the Tests have gone on, Aeroki has had to act more mature to survive, and has to toughen up to be able to not die. She has been shown that she doesn't tend to trust kin that much, and thinks that it's practically impossible to depend on family. This is due to her upbringing, along with the fact that she never liked her siblings that much. Aeroki understands why Rapid dislikes Pixie after she explains. That and Aeroki can relate to Rapid not liking their sibling because oh boy Aeroki hates almost all of her family. However, she still retains her old airheaded nature and has a slight obsession with eating non-food items. So far she has eaten grass (before the Tests), sand (Wait 1), and attempted to eat fire (Test 2). Aeroki gets hungry rather fast, and will make an attempt to eat anything if she's starving.

## Relationships

Everyone else - They really can't be bothered to remember your name whether it be on purpose or on accident

Wild Rush of Rapids (Rapid) - Aeroki genuinely likes Rapid, and understands why Rapid was so angry with Pixie. Aeroki has felt a 'warm fuzzy feeling' in her chest when she's around Rapid. (Their ship name is Rapoki)

Helios - Is neutral, but slightly jealous of how Rapid didn't immediately snap at him upon meeting her. She also didn't like how he was pretty hypocritical towards her as he was mooning over Rapid

Yeonhong - Appreciates her concern after Aeroki tried to eat the fire during Test 2.0, but doesn't particularly seem to care for

Tempest - She doesn't particularly care for him that much, and she really doesn't like how he treated her prior to Paratyl's death

Yarran - She really only remembers him out of all of her family, and just wishes that he didn't have to die

Paratyl - Hates his guts. Wishes that he died before Sang and Yarran

Sang - Doesn't love or like her mother, but she likes her more than her father

## Ships

Rapoki (Rapid x Aeroki) - Unsure whether it's canon at this point or almost canon or really good friends

## Quotes

"I was just starting to fall asleep too. I wouldn't blame you for doing that." - Aeroki's commentary after Rapid saying that she would strangle whoever was making a racket

"Is the soft stuff editable?" - Aeroki, to no one in particular.

"That tastes like grass, but it’s rocky." - Aeroki to Rapid, after eating sand.

"Rapid: A loser is a stupid, annoying cat who follows other cats who don’t give two foxdungs about them or their little foolish fantasies of friendship.

Aeroki: Uh…what’s a fantasy? Can you eat it?

- Aeroki and Rapid.

"Why are you always so mad?" - Aeroki to Rapid, in a hushed whisper.

"But is being truly great really worth it in the end without the other parts of life? It’s sounds…like a hole. Or a pit. Or something that’s empty. By your meaning of being truly great, it sounds like cats wouldn’t like you too much. You’d probably be remembered in a really, really bad way if you just did…what you described just then. It’s…not a good feeling." - Aeroki to Rapid
