I'm good! It's nice to be back in the roleplaying game, I hope you've been doing well! I'll edit this post with my forms soon, to save space. Are their any Wild Domestic slots left? I want to start off with two characters, ones a Moggie but I've been thinking the other should be a WD and there seems to be only one slot filled but I think I might have counted more than one while reading through the other forms?

Name; Hú Jiao (Chinese for Black Pepper or pepper)
Gender; Male
Age; 48 moons
Breed/Species; Ashera cat
Old Ranking; Wild Domestic
Orientation; Panromatic / sexual
Appearance;
Hú Jiao is a lanky fellow, as most Ashera cats are. A bit on the larger side he stands at 18 inches tall and weighs 27 lbs with a silvery-white pelt blotted with charcoal spots. His almond shaped eyes are a soft, olive green that pair nicely with his tuna pink nose. With large ears and a short tail, he radiates characteristics of an Ashera cat.
Personality;
This Ashera's bark is worse than his bite. He talks big with a boastful air about him, superficially prideful and confidant to the point of being obnoxious. He loves to show off and make sure people know how utterly amazing he really is. Underneath that snarky attitude, though, is a tom who is very unsure about himself and his place in the world. Hú Jiao wants others to like him, more than he likes himself, so he tries his best to make himself appealing by (unfortunately) bragging. When insulted he is quick with a rebuttal, unknowingly displaying how insecure he really is. On the positive side, Hú Jiao is determined, fierce, and a hardworker. Though he can get stubborn and has a hard time backing off from a challenge, when put to work he can actually get things done. Loyal, protective, and genuinely fun to be around when he isn't talking about himself, Hú Jiao loves adventure and can't stand to sit still for too long.
Relationships/Views;
Bamboo - Hú Jiao doesn't quite understand the whole 'ancestors' thing, but he respects Bamboo to the point he is awkward and slightly uncomfortable when directly addressed by the Seeker. Whether this is a fear of power or not, he will easily lay down his life for the new "Leader" of their little posse.
Genesis - Being the only other Wild Domestic male, Hú Jiao is unsure how to feel about Genesis. At times he feels the need to one-up the other in a sort of dominance display, but other times he feels flirtatious and coy when trying to interact with him. The whole situation just confuses him, so he tries to stay away from the vaguely feminine tom.
Crush/Lover;
Genesis (?) His feeling are confusing and he will probably never realize that some sort of romantic feeling is there for Genesis.
Brief History;
Hú Jiao was born into an exotic pet mill, a big business that pumped out Asheras, wolf-dogs, invasive reptiles and the like. From the second he could stand he was being poked and prodded by humans that easily made him feel second rate. He was never good enough to be sold, never worth the shiny dollar sign that accompanied each 'rare', 'designer' animal. His ears were too big, eyes to squinty, fur too coarse, on and on. His family was sold off, all his brothers, his sisters, and he watched with an empty feeling weighing him down as days went on. Left alone he began to eat less, interact less, and eventually they sold him for a "discount" because he was sickly and they were tired of spending the time trying to fix him.
Once bought he was shipped to China and dubbed the name Hú Jiao, or Black Pepper in Chinese due to the round black spots that covered his pelt like uncut balls of pepper. Owned by a prosperous business man, they were in the village when it caught a blaze. His human was scoping out the area for development as well as showing off his luxuries to the locals when the next thing Hú Jiao knew he was running from the biting blaze. He wandered on soot stained paws for what seemed like days when he happened upon other felines left behind in the disaster. He hadn't seen another cat at this proximity since he was a kit and the interaction made him build up a wall as he was praised as a 'ruler' for his breed. He didn't want to be second rate, not any longer. He wanted to be everything the humans looked for, he wanted to be everything he assumed other cats would inherently look for.
When Bamboo began reciting his prophecies, Hú Jiao didn't care. It wasn't his job to care. The others told him not to care. But the words were too convincing and the Ashera couldn't help but give in and actually listen, listen through his own ears rather than retellings told by others who had heard actual word from the Seeker. If the one cat who could understand spirits or whatever said they must go, they would go, it was that simple in his mind. Unfortunately, he couldn't object, so he never did. One night he found Bamboo was leaving and with out a word he abandoned camp to follow this prophecy spoken by a blind prophet he hardly knew.

Name; Mandarin ( Goes by 'Ducky' in reference to a Mandarin Duck, an East-Asian duck with orange plumage. )
Gender; Female
Age; 31 moons
Breed/Species; America Shorthair mix
Old Ranking; Moggie
Orientation; Homoromantic/sexual
Appearance;
A pale orange tabby with a stocky build, Ducky was given her name "Mandarin" for her pelt color and the nickname "Ducky" for her docked half-tail that sticks out like a little ducks tail. She has a round face with long whiskers, a pink nose, and a bit of white fur adorning her muzzle. Her eyes are the color of bright acorns and are round despite her upper eye-lids being somewhat droopy. Her short fur is somewhat thick, with bits of beige and white blended throughout.
Personality;
Ducky is a very childish for her age, a plucky she-cat who always has her head in the clouds. Quick to smile and even quicker to laugh, she is very sociable and quite the people pleaser, finding herself most comfortable when with other cats. Though ditzy, she loves to go out of her way to make others happy and to give them someone to lean on. Generally she is likable, even though her short attention span can be frustrating for some. Ducky tries to find the best in everyone and often puts too much trust in cats she just meets, often getting trampled over because of it. While she can be gullible, she has a big heart with a lot to give and is genuinely a good friend and clan mate.
Relationships/Views;
Bamboo - Ducky has a great amount of respect for the Seeker. She admires how he speaks his mind even when his words are not everyones favorite opinion. Though she feels inclined to help him as much as she can, she knows he can handle himself and thinks it's amazing how independent he can be, being blind and all.
Crush/Lover;
No one, at the moment.
Brief History;
As a kitten, Ducky was separated from her mother during a storm and found by a local college student who heard her mewling under the stairs of their apartment complex. At first the student wasn't going to keep her, they were barely getting by on their own trying to keep up with student loans and food, but they grew too attached to Ducky and ended up keeping her. She was well fed and well loved even though her owner was poor, and she road in their bike basket everyday to the college campus just outside of the village.
It was a nice life and she couldn't complain one bit, they had a strong bond and she loved her owner. She never spent much time around other cats, but when the fire struck and she ran she found herself surrounded by other felines who'd lost their way just like she had. She found herself thriving among the others, enjoying to company and constant socialization she received. Though the ranking system made her uncomfortable, she was happy to support the clan by hunting and fighting along side noble purebreeds.
When Bamboo began to show concern for the future, she was quick to listen and agree. She had a strong belief in his connection with the ancestors and supported him with ease. Her first instinct was to convince everyone to leave with them, but when she was told they were leaving under the cover of darkness she found herself questioning it. But, she followed anyway, and now must follow the Seeker to safety with their few companions.
