Physical description
Body: he’s slightly smaller than the average male and is rather fine and slender build. Even a little feminine. Lynx-like slightly concave back-line. Round paws are slightly smaller than average. Rather short tail that is carried low with the tail tip pointing upwards.

Head: typical rounded muzzle and quite pronounced cheek-bones. Average to rather narrow skull. Rounded, rather wide and pronounced chin. Average sized pointy ears are placed high on his head. Straight profile with a little ‘stop’/dip. Slanting, almond shaped pale blue eyes. Rather high placed ‘eyebrows’.

Fur: bright white with a pink, pigment-less skin. That’s why his nose, paw pads and the skin around his eyes are pink. This is not albinism but a gene that’s called ‘dominant white’ in cat-genetics. His soft, smooth fur lies close to the body. Slightly fuller mane and fluffy tail.
Jewelry & accessories: nothing but himself.

PERSONALITY & CHARACTER

Personality and mannerisms:
Yves is very friendly, gentle, loyal and trustful. He’s always positive minded and strictly avoids tension and conflicts. If he can, he will avoid violence against all costs (except of course hunting prey). He is playful and can be energetic from time to time. Otherwise he has a certain calm vibe and he doesn’t like to make drama of small things. He’s quickly convinced and doesn’t criticize much. He quickly takes things for granted and is sometimes quite naïve and blindly trustful. He is quite impulsive and doesn’t really do long-term planning. He lives pretty much in the here-and-now. In stressful situations, he quickly turns to ostrich politics, and pretends that the problem is simply not there. And if he can’t ignore it, he runs from it. Yves is quite curious but not so adventurous and doesn’t like to go to unfamiliar, new places.

Type of humor: very jolly and always positive minded little jokes.

Voice, manner of speaking - reference: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QULO98… - the soft voice in the beginning until 2.00 min. He has a friendly and warm, comfortable way of speaking.
Sexuality: heterosexual
Spirituality and philosophy: his philosophy seems to be “ignorance is bliss….”. But otherwise, he always believes the best of everybody and everything. Nothing can be so bad that it’s not good for something.
Aesthetics: reignofsiderians.tumblr.com/po…
Fears: that one day, he can no longer outrun the ones who follow him….
Dreams: living free from worries and his ‘duties’ (see story)
Interest, hobbies, occupation:He is quite occupied with family life but otherwise he liked exploring the different kinds of ecals and teach his kids about it. In general, he loves playing with his kids and being around cubs. But due to unfortunate circumstances he’s framed to spy on siderians and report to hyenas and vice versa. This puts him in an impossible situation that he wished, he could escape from.
Special skills: he’s actually quite a good hunter, since he learned some interesting techniques from the hyenas who had raised him.

STORY
!!! See the graphic novel of his story - this is a summary that contains a LOT of spoilers !!!
An orphaned cub
Yves was born in Zilval Summits, the biggest central European siderian metacluster located in the region that siderians call the Roaring Mountains (close to the Mont Blanc in the French Alps). He was the only cub of his young parents and he still remembered his mother’s soft fur and his father’s friendly eyes and gentle voice. Yves was only a few years old when his parents got murdered by other siderians. Yves had never known why and before he realized it, he was all alone in the blizzard. Lost in the high mountains around the metacluster.
Taken along by hyenas
When the sun rose, a group of strange hyenas passed by and noticed him. One of them was particularly kind and they took him along on a long journey. A journey that seemed like eternity for Yves’ young paws. Exhaustion was always near but this one hyena nudged him forward every time. Yves didn’t knew where he was going but the hyenas kept him alive and he just blindly followed them thought the heavy snow. There was nothing else that he could do.

Safe in the clan
Finally they settled down and little Yves was suddenly grabbed by the scruff and dragged in front of a terrifying black hyena who spoke harshly to him. He didn’t understand anything but the body language of the hyenas was clear; he was to stay among them. He was not even allowed to leave. The same friendly hyena, Sabi, took care of him again. She kept aggressive hyenas away form him and treated him kindly. Only now, Yves began to process what had happened and how he had lost his parents. This hyena was all he had left now and he clung to her as if she was his mother.

Establishing a new home with hyenas
Throughout spring and summer, Yves began to learn how to communicate with the hyenas and Sabi brought him in contact with two other cubs; Tycho and Farran. At first, he was scared of their rough play, but the ice broke quickly enough and he became good friends. Over the years, he found himself feel a little more at home among the hyenas of the Chorda clan. He learned that he was living close to the siderian metacluster called Notochord (in the Ural mountains, by siderians called the Spine). He realized that he was kept strictly away from other siderians and even certain places on the clan-land. The older he got, the more he realized that he was held captive; despite the otherwise friendly treatment of Sabi and most other hyaenas. Only the higher ranking females often sneered at him and attacked him if he went the wrong way.

Sent out to spy on siderians
When he reached puberty, the hyenas brought him along on the hunt. Yves struggled to keep up with their long pursuits. Their way of hunting felt unnatural but he did his best to learn it. However, he figured that he was a better sprinter than the hyenas and better at stalking. They began to divide the tasks and both took advantage of their different hunting styles. After a few years, Yves had learned to hunt for himself. That was when the hyenas brought him to the matriarch again. He was sent on a mission to spy on the siderians around Notochord. Yves was confused but did what he was asked to do. He had to find out what kind of ecals siderians use and for what purpose. However, he had no idea what that even meant and he felt lost. With the hyenas closely keeping an eye on him, he tried. He reported what he had seen and was sent more often out to spy.

Forbidden love
The hyenas had forbidden him to make close contact with other siderians and he was only allowed to communicate with them if it was beneficial for his spying mission. What the hyenas didn’t see, was that there was a young black sideress stalking Yves. Once she approached him. He tried to lure her away and wanted to break all contact, afraid of being seen by the hyenas. But the sideress was persistent and Yves began to like her. He was in his late teenage years and new feelings overwhelmed him. He had fallen in love. That was impossible, he realized. If the hyenas would find out, he would be in trouble. The sideress revealed her name as Sasha and she was the daughter of the metacluster coordinator Nigras. That was exactly the siderian whom the hyenas hated the most and wanted to know more about. Yves felt torn between two sides and he couldn’t betray any of them. He tried to do his work for the hyaenas as good as he could without betraying Sasha’s relatives. For the few years to come, he managed to disguise the relation with Sasha and kept the hyenas satisfied.

Surrounded by siderians
However, when he was approaching an age of 20, the hyenas got harder on him and he found it nearly impossible to maintain the relation with Sasha. The hyenas would not let him go and stalked him everywhere, while they sent him to spy on the siderian cluster coordinators. Once, Yves was trying to gain some information from ysal ecals. Before he noticed anyone’s presence, he was already surrounded by four siderians. One of them was the metacluster coordinator himself; Nigras. They had noticed his relation with the hyenas and found him highly suspicious. But Nigras was clever too; and realized that Yves must know a lot more about hyenas and he wanted Yves to report to him as well. He even called upon Sasha and used her as a leverage. Nigras threatened to kill him if he refused to regularly pass on information about the hyenas. When Nigras and the other siderians left, Sasha stayed with Yves.

A narrow escape
Yves felt left with an impossible task as double-spy and with his love for Sasha, he saw only one way out. Without thinking about the consequences he ran off with her. He had to escape before anyone would notice them. But the hyenas were onto them before they had even left Notochord. Sasha knew the place well and managed to find an escape route over the highest mountain peaks. They were on the run for days and all Yves could think of, was to go back to his birth-ground in Zilval Summits.

A silent follower
When they were approaching the Roaring Mountains (the Alps), an old familiar hyena suddenly appeared. It was Sabi. She had followed him all the way and said that there were more hyenas following them. However, if Yves allowed her presence and continued to report to the Chorda-clan (through ecals) about siderian business, he would be safe. Sasha didn’t like this and was about to kill Sabi. Yves stopped her in time, saying that if they kill her, other hyenas might come for revenge. Yves allowed Sabi to follow on a distance, realizing that her presence might convince the other hyenas that he was still working for them.

Welcomed by an old familiar face
After a long travel, they arrived on Yves’ native ground, still with Sabi on their heels. They were soon welcomed by a hyena (Lanna) who claimed to have known Yves and his parents. She was the matriarch of the local clan and said to have had a good relation with Yves’ parents. She promised to keep Yves and Sasha safe on her clan-lands near the cluster. Yves indeed preferred to stay here, rather than to find another place to settle. But Sasha was suspicious; especially with Sabi still around. She constantly suggested to get rid of Sabi, but Yves kept saying that that might make it worse. Now there was a certain truce and if he could keep both Nigras and the Chorda-clan hyenas satisfied with vague information, it would be all-right. Especially now they were under Lanna’s protection.

A happy family
Years passed relatively quietly and Yves and Sasha felt safe enough to start a family. There was still a mild pressure on Yves to pass on some information, but it was not enough to make him worried. He could focus on his family and soon their first son Noiro was born. A few years later, Vivanna was born too. It was the happiest time in his life and he could hardly believe it. Sabi was still there and she had become like an aunt for his cubs. Yves tried to forget about his tasks and his past and focused on his family instead. But Sasha hadn’t forgotten it. She kept asking him questions and he noticed the tension between her and Sabi.

Building tension
When they were expecting their third cub, the situation got more tense. Both Sasha and Sabi were constantly urging Yves to send information back to both Nigras and the Chorda clan. But Yves was confused by their expectations. There was hardly any information that he could send and it began to frustrate him. He didn’t know anything specific and he began to wonder why they were on to him. He tried to forget about it and focus on the birth of their third cub.

Ostrich politics
However, his ostrich politics was getting more and more difficult to maintain and the tension between Sasha and Sabi only grew. Sasha said that Nigras was losing his patience, especially since the hyenas of the Chorda clan had attacked the cluster coordinators in Notochord. Possibly with the help of Yves’ knowledge about the siderian’s use of ecals. Not much later Sabi came with the same threat. The siderians had attacked the Chorda clan and they were suspecting that Yves had provided the siderians with insight information about the hyenas. The matriarch of the Chorda-clan was furious and demanded a clarification from Yves; something that he couldn’t give. While Sabi was telling Yves this upsetting message, Sasha had stalked closer to them and overheard the conversation. She was furious and wanted to kill Sabi again. Yves jumped between them but received a nasty scratch over his face by his own mate. He felt that he was stuck in the situation and his way of dealing with that, was to pretend that the was no problem at all and go on with daily life.

No more escaping
That was a terrible mistake. He had settled the conflict with Sasha and was watching a sunrise with her and their cubs. The peaceful moment was suddenly disturbed by Lanna who came running at them with upsetting news. The rebels of her clan had disappeared and there were many unfamiliar hyenas on the lands. Now the fear reached Yves; he could no longer hide from the truth. The realization struck him that he had underestimated the severity of the situation. Sasha’s worries were right all the time. Immediately he got up and urged his family to leave, NOW. There was still a way out, if they were quick. However, he still trusted the thought that the hyenas from the Chorda clan, who had raised him and invested so much time in him, would not harm him. And Sabi was still around…she could possibly talk it out; she had a high rank in the clan….But that he was in serious trouble if they caught him and his family, was dead-certain.

Surrounded
They had been walking non-stop from sunrise to sunset and the cubs were getting exhausted. Fortunately, they had nearly reached a well hidden place where they could get some rest. However, there was something wrong and before Yves found out what, they were surrounded by dozens of hyenas with both familiar and unfamiliar faces. One of them was Troy, a black guy who had always been mean to Yves. Even his friends Tycho and Farran were there. Before he could fathom what happened, Troy had launched the attack. “Kill them” he heard him growl. Out of nowhere, Sabi appeared and jumped between Yves’s family and the attacking hyenas. “RUN!” she yelled. Only now, Yves realized that this was dead-serious and he spurted away. There were hyenas everywhere and he lost overview of the situation. Snapping jaws grabbed him from all sides and while he slashed around with his claws, he tried to locate Sasha and his cubs.

A matter of time
Everything happened in a blur. In all the chaos he saw how Sabi got torn apart by her clan mates and that Sasha was getting attacked. He tried to escape himself but one hyena had him tightly by the flank. “THE CUBS” he heard Sasha roar while she was dragged down. In a flash, he saw that Farran ran away with their cubs. He tried to get himself loose. “We tried” Tycho stammered while another hyena held him by the throat. With the adrenaline raging through his body, he broke loose and ran as fast has he could to his cubs. But suddenly he was stopped. A hyena had grabbed his ankle and pulled him down. He hit around with his claws but there were too many. Jaws clamped around his back, flank and paws. They were too fast. One grabbed his throat tightly. With all the strength he had, he tried to get away. But he was pulled down on his back. While he fought, he saw his life pass by already. Time had slowed down. All he saw was a swirl of blood, splatting snow and snapping jaws passing by in slow-motion. He watched it from behind a distant black haze that spread around him until he disappeared in it.
