User:Soren Felinus

Soren Felinus was very close to aircraft even as a child. He grew up on the Echo Skyland, home of the famous Flight School. He enjoys the thrill of flight and the soothing hum of the engines. One could say that this cat loves the sky to the point where he turns into a splendid pilot. If you were to contrast this with his personality on the ground, however, you may just find the opposite instead. He tends to be reserved and sticks to his own business.

Though he proudly wears the Flight Jacket of the Flight School, he currently works more like an Independent, taking delivery jobs here and there with the occasional pirate dogfight along the way. He hasn’t had thoughts yet of joining a faction nor openly declaring himself as an Independent.

Personality & Description
Soren is a Mackerel Tabby like the rest of his family. He has brownish fur color and the most notable marking on him is the trademark ‘M’ that of the tabby on his head. His typical green eyes, more often than not, convey his emotions and how he feels at the time. With his posture and behavior one can easily surmise that he’s a newblood. He has a relatively small build, and in fact he isn’t really strong. At least this allows him to run away from danger much quicker, provided he doesn’t freeze up. His attire is simple and not surprisingly, like other pilots on assorted jobs, he practically lives in his flight suit and Echo Flight School Jacket.

This young feline is understandably very shy and apprehensive about the world he’s slowly but surely joining in. He prefers to stick to conversations that are required of him for his job and avoids unnecessary encounters with others. His outward appearance, especially when alone, may lead others to believe that he’s indifferent to others, maybe serious, or in extreme cases of distant evaluation, self-centered due to the fact he always spends time on his own. However those that eventually become his friends will soon find out how much of an energetic, enthusiastic and caring cat this Soren is. He would do whatever he can in his power to make sure his friends are all right or, if their feeling down, lift their spirits in whatever method possible, no matter how embarrassing it may look. However, do expect him to suddenly shrink away as soon as he realizes how ridiculous he might’ve looked in the attempt to lift their spirits. He eventually will drop the feeling of embarrassment knowing that he might’ve helped in some small way his friends. He respects his friends so much that he doesn’t wish any ill on them or wish to cause them any harm. That is to be expected and all. For Soren however this goes as far as to keep him from even teasing or any jokes that would make fun of them because, according to him, will be harming them emotionally.

When he goes out on sorties against pirates however, he will not spare a plane. In Flight School he had learned to consider shooting pirates will be just shooting aircraft, no more, no less. The reasoning is that the pirates had a chance to be better citizens but instead chose to be pirates, basically he does it for justice's and security's sake. Secondly they have the chance of bailing out so Soren should not need to worry about killing them. While flying he faces everything with a silent, serious approach. His focus will be on the mission and the situation. On the ground however, when faced with danger, chances are he would be terrified. He perceives threats on the ground a lot stronger than in his aircraft. This would explain the reason why he tends to sleep in the pilot’s seat more often than in a bed in a random hotel or inn simply because he has found security and comfort from staying inside his plane.

Background
Soren grew up in a well-off family. Due to the relatively good economy on Echo thanks to its flight school, he was able to enjoy benefits of a comfortable life. As a family they were very close. He had a friendly four-way sibling rivalry with his brother and sisters and they were always getting into trouble. In fact, Soren was, and still is, the favorite sibling to get picked on, despite being the third born kitten and not the youngest of the siblings. Luckily enough, all the teasing is in good nature.

The eldest sister works as an accountant for a new air transportation company. Ate(pronounced: Ah-teh) just loved picking on Soren and more often than not you can expect to see her giving him a playful noogie every hour of the day. The second born in the family was Kuya. He’s a freelance artist and painter having taken up Fine Arts in college. Soren learned his drawing from him, and they spent summer afternoons practicing drawing and critiquing each other’s works. His younger sister, now that’s the one he has the most fun with. They’re practically best friends, helped by the fact that their age is closer to one another compared to their older siblings and so can relate more easily to one another.

His band of friends, much like a lot of the other children at Echo, was deeply interested in Aircraft. Given the fact that they lived on a Skyland that has a Flight School and aircraft are seen daily one might’ve thought they’d get tired of it all, apparently not. Those days were the happiest moments of his life. He and three others went on to study at the Echo Flight School come 15 years of age. His parents had a hard time understanding what kind of livelihood their soon would have as a pilot, but never the less they have an open mind wish him the very best in his endeavors. Soren passed his classes above average and when it came to piloting nearly one of the top. His friends were the ones beat him to that level of skill among others more talented than he was. His ingenuity in flight however helped him in performing well and, on rare occasions, outperforming them.

Being a fresh graduate of the Echo Flight School at the age of 19 he also tends to display the complete routines done during his stay at the school, such as following a routine walk around of an aircraft to the letter, or the multiple textbook-esque procedures that is done in preparation before a flight, which could be shortened with some experience and familiarity, or simply laziness if one may call it as such. He even follows the scheduled routine maintenance suggested by the manufacturer of whatever aircraft he’s currently using, which some might even bother skipping (the types that keep the adage: ‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.’) Soren’s ingenuity in flight and combat is also seen when he’s on the ground. If a task is needed to be done, he will attempt to fashion an impromptu tool to help. Perhaps someone is chasing him; he will find various ways to lose them. If in the offchance someone glances into a hangar he’s been occupying for a few days already, chances are he has turned it into a pseudo workshop. He’d have ordered several parts, replacements, upgrades and they can be seen littered around his plane. He has a way of fitting things together so that they’d either take up less space or would help in performance. In fact he enjoys testing out new devices that are in need of testing. Lately he’s been testing out a gyro reflective targeting system and some new type of flight suit that’s supposedly a very efficient G-suit.

 * The graduating gift to thegraduating student from the Echo Flight School. Soren has thoroughly enjoyed flying this plane, despite the fact it had inherent problems such as a faulty elevator control cable which ineveitably led to an injury and the loss of this plane.
