Current: 5 years.
Species
Iranian king cheetah // Although his pelt is light, the skin underneath is dark gray.
Details
Appearance: Well built legs; soft fur; has increased neck mane, chest and tail tip fur; sensitive, ergo sharp fangs; slightly concave nose bridge; almond shaped, slightly slanted eyes; somewhat of a feminine exterior.

Armor: Padded leather shoulder, shin and forearm guards, composed of two pieces welded by golden colored metal clasps; underneath the leather guards on his legs is a breathable wool layer that absorbs shock and acts as a pad as he runs greater distances; thin silk scarf is optional, he uses it sometimes to cover his eyes and nose to avoid irritation. It is very dear to him.
Bit of trivia:
- Ahat does daily marathons around the area of Alexandria, usually in the morning before his duties.

- He loves soft fabrics, pillows or anything that screams comfort.

- His teasing game is strong, but the commitment to face its consequences is nonexistent.

- No one knows this; he is terrified of water if he cannot tread through it, hence he never learned how to swim. Interestingly enough, he would rather use water to clean himself rather than his tongue.

- His guardian/guide/owner is a scholar that spends most of his time, studying in the library or spending time with philosophers, artists and other scholars. Ahat watches humans while with him and tries to learn what they’re doing. Most interest goes to fighting with weapons and arts, such as sculpting, boat building and hieroglyph painting. He wants to learn. Maybe one day.

personality
Tease – “You like that, don’t you?~”

Ahat finds pleasure in poking others with words and actions alike, out of boredom or out of the blue. It’s almost second nature to find what makes others tick. More often than not, he uses this strategy to chip at other’s façade and see what’s underlying, specifically what the other is trying to hide. He will provoke and tease into situations that are sometimes beyond his abilities and, quite frankly, beyond his ability to commit to their consequences, so he will either smoothly slip out of them or plainly run. In relation to this trait, it’s worth mentioning that he would abandon a situation, whether it was a war in the Pharaoh’s name or a trifle. He would not risk his well being for someone else’s glory.

Pretender – “You really think you scare me, huh.”

Because of his teasing and sarcasm, Ahat will find himself in situations that are uncomfortable or dangerous. All his assurance would fade if the situation as such. As a defense mechanism, he will mask his lacking with fake confidence, sometimes even bluffing his way out of conflict. He won’t talk too much, keeping it as vague as possible— something he reminds himself through his act. Because of his title as a Medjay, others mostly buy into it. Other times, when such an act doesn’t work, he will gradually begin to show the truth.

Outspoken – “That is the dumbest thing I ever heard.”

It’s unclear whether his tongue or legs are faster. Ahat isn’t afraid to say what’s on his mind, especially when it comes to unjust or wrong opinions that are beginning to dominate.

Sarcastic – “That is the smartest thing I have ever heard. Oh, keep talking.”

Sarcasm is a trait of the smart, or so they say. With playful sarcasm, Ahat tends to aid his pretend game and/or impress others that get his sense of humor. Nothing is off limits, not even benevolently making fun of his father’s get up. When it comes to tossing playful insults, he will always have the last say. [as the kids would say, “oh burn”.] His sarcasm is to put down others is underdeveloped and it will sound more like he’s joking rather than being serious.

“Hero mode” – “!!!”

Not much of a trait as it is a personality swap. While Ahat may be airheaded and indifferent most of the time, his mind shifts into an entirely different side of the coin when he sees someone in need of help. At that moment, he doesn’t think. He just does what he can to help, whether it was something as dangerous as fighting someone twice his size or giving out food to those who are scarce of it. This trait anchors itself to all the times he was disregarded when he said he needed help, constantly told he should put on his big boy pants and either take it or deal with it and such circumstances make him see himself in others that have a problem, big or small. He believes that the times when he’s “in the moment” is the sole reason he’s still a Medjay.

Airheaded – “Yeah, I really wasn’t listening. I was in this place called Iberia my guide read about.”

Whether it was a patrol, training or conversation, this cheetah will often space out and drift away in his own world. He’d rather be somewhere else than focused on his duties or the things he has to do. In his free time, while lounging around, he’d often stare into a blank space or daydream about places and people far from here.

Naïve – “I’m sorry to hear the famine has taken so much from you. I’ll get you anything you need, just say it.”

A trait most would proclaim him dumb for. Despite his bad past experiences with someone else, specifically if his trust was abused or if he was insulted, Ahat could still find it in himself to continue talking normally to that person or sometimes even help them. He replaces holding a grudge with remembering the wrongs others did to him, ergo finds it wasteful to avoid someone when it’s easier to just coexist. On a lighter side, he would easily trust a stranger, especially if they asked for help or looked troubled.

Unstable when outraged – “You wanna go see your gods? Fine, let’s go see them together! I got nothing I want to do more!”

His self preservation instincts and control become non existent when he can no longer keep up the mask or whatever self control he has. Despite everyone telling him that there is no need for him to be so extreme when caught in the act, it will go trough one ear and out the other. Once he’s out of his mind, he’s out of it to the point of dying with his opponent to sate his anger. His instability shows it’s bone chilling face as unyielding verbal and physical aggression without any moral. Any moral. He doesn’t even know how strong he is when absolutely outraged.

history
Ahat’s biological family was lost to him the day he treaded on Egypt’s ground. As a cub, he was travelling with traders from the Middle East with his mother. Because of his unique pelt, he was valuable merchandise and as such was kept carried in baskets, safe from the elements to harden his exterior. Of course, he could barely see at the age his nomad group encountered a patrol of pharaoh’s Medjay, where Shekah accompanied the humans. They were caught as illegal traders, attempting to cross the border behind the authorities’ backs. Despite explaining their dire situation and lack of income, the patrol attempted to arrest them. The trader’s resisted and Ahat’s mother, being their loyal guard dog, was the first defense. Despite her loyalty and ferocity, she was feeble and thin from the famine and was taken down quickly by Shekah. The injuries weren’t severe for a healthy cat, but they were fatal for her and she bled out quickly, right in front of today’s pharaoh. It was never his intention to kill her, but it seems she was too weak or sickly to survive. The humans portrayed a similar resistance, insisting they’d rather fight to the death than spend another waking moment either in this famine, or behind bars.
Just as the patrol was about to leave, a weak cry sounded off from one of the lifeless bodies. Its source turned out to be a young cheetah cub, resembling the one they had taken down. It was clear now why the female fought with so much zest. Feeling partially guilty for the loss of its parent, Shekah took the cub in and raised him along with his children.
As Ahat grew, his unique features of an Iranian cheetah made him stick out like a sore thumb among the rest. Where others had sleek, short fur, his was resembling a mane. His build was smaller, his legs thinner, head a bit bigger and neck slightly longer than his siblings’. This never dissuaded Ahat’s belief that he was the pharaoh’s son, which his father supported to hide his past. When most would attempt to speak otherwise, they would quickly be silenced. Everyone knew of his foreign origin, but no one spoke of it. The more his personality formed, the more his difference stuck out in another light. Despite the stories of the Egyptian gods, he never formed belief in them. Even stories of Set never scared him and such indifference stayed, giving him the title of a “heretic” amongst seers and others.
At first, Ahat was a gift to the pharaoh of Egypt because of his unique pelt and delicate structure. He was ravished in luxury and comfort, forming a spoiled cat that looked down on the rest. One day, the pharaoh’s children took playtime too far by attempting to paint his fur and Ahat reacted aggressively. Even though he didn’t physically hurt the children, his outburst was deemed that of a wild animal. He was to be killed and his pelt used as a rug, if it wasn’t for the kindness of a pharaoh’s advisor and scholar. The man reminded his emperor of the cat’s beauty and uniqueness, and their worship towards felines. He insisted he took him in instead, offering to pay whatever the price. Seeing his dedication and heeding his trust in his friend, the pharaoh relieved Ahat into his care under the condition he goes into training with the Medjay cats.
Ahat never showed promise to be one of Egypt’s loyal and skilled warriors, but he had to complete the training or die. This problematic son of the pharaoh was difficult to sculpt into a soldier because of his spoiled rotten past life. Shekah was seeing into correcting his behavior from the day he became his mentor. At one point, his father grew sick of it and with sharp words made Ahat’s mind break. There was no more luxury, time to waste on petty judgement or gourmet eating. It was the time to be better and redeem himself. The cheetah always showed resistance and even arrogance, but there was no point in obviously resisting it. His frustration lashed out in forms of marathons he insisted doing daily, which in turn increased his speed and stamina. He was most likely the Egypt’s unrivaled in speed. He’d meet the end of his training and be left alone afterwards, he thought.
But his training ended and title earned in an unorthodox way. It was no mission from the pharaoh, instead a chance.
Outside of training hours, Ahat was walking with his guide towards the library of Alexandria. On an otherwise calm day, a carriage went off the rails. The horse pulling it, in a state of panic from an unknown stressor. There were a lot of people endangered on the road and most were able to move away. However, in the blind madness, a barely walking child found itself lost in the sea of people. Ahat’s keen eyes located the human easily for it was closer to his field of view. Without even thinking, Ahat’s tendons and muscles carried him towards the small human. With a swift clasp to its clothing, he pulled it to safety. After everything settled and Shekah got word of his valiant deed, he gained the title of an honorable Medjay.
Despite his hopes that he would play along their little patrols or resolve petty conflicts, he was assigned an apprentice. The young caracal, then an apprentice, now dear friend, formed and reformed him in many ways. Shekah could never pull the best out of him because he wasn’t his friend. He was the stern father who had to lead. Shu on the other hand became his friend and someone he could confide in. It started out with them both being jokesters and drama queens, but upon expressing certain opinions Ahat thought Shu would agree with, he disagreed. Words from a friend hit close to home and Ahat pondered on his perspectives and values. At the point where Shu got promoted to a Medjay, Ahat’s spoiled behavior was a thing of the past, though there are a few remnants of his past, showing themselves in other forms.
