## Detailed description

Eiríkr is a black smoke tom with white markings and striking yellow eyes. He is a large, well-muscled cat with a solid build. His fur is thick and long and he had tufted ears. Eiríkr is littered with numerous scars from fights in his prime, and as a result his ears are tattered and torn. He is blind in one eye, with thick scars over that side of his face. His remaining eye is a piercing yellow.

## Personality and traits

Eiríkr is what many would call an anti-hero. He serves more so his own purpose for his own gain, only accidently fulfilling the correct morals while seeking his own satisfaction.
Eiríkr is a very goal-orientated and motivated character, he won't stop until he achieves his way. He was taught loyalty above all else and well, that has stuck with him. It has since become a twisted ideology in his mind and causes him to have a clouded judgement in some situations. He is loyal to himself, having felt betrayal from those he thought were loyal to him. Due to this, he does have trust issues and is very independent which shows in his leadership style. Eiríkr has a strict personal discipline to achieve his goals and his restriction is could almost be commended if her weren't morally such a terrible cat. He doesn't get sidetracked and can solely focus on one ambition at a time, not budging until he finishes what he started.
Some cats are generally snarly, but Eiríkr just has a constant, resting grimace. He is a very aggressive cat by nature and has no issue showing this. He snarls, growls and uses claws to gain the advantage and demand attention in conversation. Eiríkr more often than not, tries to dominate situations using his general appearance to his advantage, as well as his general demeanour. To some, he's not the most inviting looking cat, and some do believe him to be downright terrifying. What is terrifying about him is probably his self-indulgence that borders critically on "lets just outright murder for the hell of it".
His morals are so broken due to his own self-preservation and, well, he just doesn't care. He feels betrayed and after having to rescue himself, the rush of adrenaline he got from having to kill, well, he's never been the same. Eiríkr craves it almost, just to feel the power that it holds over everyone. Life or death, if he can hold that over someone, he knows he's won. The tom showed this off to his former leaders when he slaughtered them in cold blood and teased them in the process. Diablo also doesn't bode well with being told what to do since he's tasted freedom. He's downright stubborn and won't budge unless he either gets his way or dies trying.
Eiríkr is a fearless fighter. He has never shown fear in the heat of battle, and probably never will. The tom is a strong opponent, using his size against others and just brute strength to overpower those who try and oppose him. He has in the past shown no remorse when it comes to killing to win, and it doesn't seem to affect him in the slightest. He was a born and bred warrior and conqueror - taking what he believes he deserves. He is also noted to be quite the strategist and is very good at planning for battle and for his own sake.Eiríkr's a smart cat and knows when he has the upper hand and when he doesn't and this shows when he makes decisions. He is regarded for his knowledge on how to gain the upper hand too.
