Status: Finished OC.

The Basics...

Name: Javan

Age: Ten years.

Gender: Male.

Race: Talking Tiger.

Occupation: None, unless being a follower of Aslan would count as one? xP


The Look...

Clothing Style: N/A

Overall Appearance:

Javan is, like most tigers, a massive beast. Typically weighing around six-hundred and twenty pounds ( this can increase after meals ) and reaching ten feet in length; making him quite fearsome. His pelage a ginger color with various vertical black stripes, though on his hindquarters the stripes are and ashen color; the underparts - such as the chin, chest, stomach and inner legs - are white with pale gray stripes. Javan keeps his coat groomed, naturally, and never allows it to get too dirty.

The felines eyes are big and golden and always holding a tranquil look. However, when angered or even slightly agitated they take on a whole new look - one that is dreadfully dangerous, just with this look he can often get others to shut up and leave him be. Despite this, his golden oculars most often have nothing but peace behind them.

In spite of his seemingly perfect appearance, he does have one nasty blemish. From the center of his back and down to back of his right leg is a massive scar - fortunately the length of his fur covers it up well, and is only seen when someone pets the particular area, when he is wet or if the wind blows at just the right direction to reveal it - otherwise it is completely hidden.

Overall, Javan looks like a normal tiger.

Markings: Says so in the overall.

The Personality...

Personality:

Javan's attitude and mood depends on the temperament of those around him. If they are laid back, he is too; if they are agitated, he feels restless; if they are 'bouncy', he feels playful and etcetera. However, when Javan is alone he is typically in a tranquil state and seemingly not troubled by anything.

Having met all sorts of creatures throughout his life, he quite sociable. He doesn't seek out company, but accepts it if it comes his way. He always holds a kind disposition and can quite easily make friends ( it seems most would rather be his ally than his enemy. ) Once Javan thinks as someone as his friend, he is forever loyal to that person and even a tad bit protective. His friends are like a dumb tigers territory, and he can become ferocious if you mess with them; he definitely isn't afraid to spring into battle.

Aside from just being protective and loyal to his friends, he can also be someone who one could share their problems with. He is quite understanding of others feelings and can be helpful in their time of need. Javan is simply hopelessly caring to his loved ones and sometimes even to strangers.

When dealing with the enemy, the Tiger releases the beast and turns into a lethal opponent. He has no fear of getting harmed himself which is why he is never hesitant when it comes down to fighting. He is malicious and horrid when facing the enemy and will kill if necessary; though he will show mercy if they plead enough.

Another thing to know about Javan is that he is quite te optimist; this becomes quite clear once you get to know him. He never says negative things and has no doubts about the future's peace. He likes to see things in a positive manner and despite all the bad things he's seen and all the horrible creatures/people he has met, he even tries to see the good in everyone. Unless of course they are the ones who start the fight with him, that’s when the "malicious and horrid" part kicks in. - He dislikes negative others and will most often avoid them.

Overall, Javan is a truly good-hearted creature with a small hint of wickedness (toward the enemy of course).

The Past...

History:

Javan was born to Favian and Jezebel, along with his two siblings; Ajax and Nova. He was the last one out, but the largest of the three, Nova the smallest which of course left Ajax in the middle. Javan's memory begins a few months into his life, when his mother and father started teaching them how to survive ( I figure since it's Narnia, the father gets to stick around. xP )

Hunting was Javan's favorite thing, he'd often watch his parents go on hunts or try to hunt smaller critters himself while his siblings wrestled and played. Swimming had also been his ideal 'sport', though he didn't get to do much of it at his younger age because Ajax and Nova were constantly challenging him; he always won since he was slightly larger than them both.

It wasn't long before the three were old enough to hunt larger prey and wonder a bit farther away from their parents. Javan was always the first to prove himself; getting the larger catches and in a faster manner. Nova absolutely adored her brother and was always following him around; not being much of the independent sort at the time. Ajax however, despised Javan because of his skills and avoided both of his siblings most of the time.

Around the age of one, their seemingly peaceful life turned. Favian was killed by one of the White Witches followers while he was returning from a meeting with other Narnians. It was a few hours after Favian's death that the news reached Javan and his family. It was at this time that Javan realized that there was evil in the beautiful land. However, unlike his siblings and mother, he was not worried about getting attacked himself. For he was by now, quite the optimist and was still quite positive about things, despite what happened to his beloved father.

The next year went by slowly. Nova continued to trail behind Javan and Ajax grew more distant; their mother growing old with age. The family stayed together and none of them had once though of departing. At least, that was until Jezebel finally gave out. She died in her sleep, more peacefully than their father had but it was still a heart-break. At this time Ajax decided to leave, and so he did. Javan was unsure of what to do, it had never occurred to him that leaving was a possibility and Nova of course, wished to go wherever Javan wanted.

Javan and Nova traveled for a few months before they ran into some trouble. A large fight broke out between the two siblings and the 'trouble'; more followers of the White Witch. Unfortunately they were outnumbered and in the end, Javan can only remember everything going dark and then waking up in a pool of his own blood; his sister nowhere to be found.

Javan was convinced he was about to die, he accepted the fate; but as soon as he begin to close his eyes a voice of a young woman came to. A telmarine; he'd never met one before, but his mother had told him a lot of them when he were younger. He was too weak to fight back, so he just let the new creature and her companions take him. He fell asleep soon after and came too, what he was told, three days later. Apparently, the girl and her friends had taken care of his wound and promised to nurse him back to good health - even though he was reluctant to stay he was forced to. Strength had not yet returned to him.

The girl, he found out, was called Sarah Venetur. Javan had soon come to trust her and before long, the two were good friends. Javan continued to live near the town soon after he was healed up; though a scar was left and it constantly reminded him of his dear Sister, he knew though.. in his heart that she was still alive and well, somehow.

Javan lived in the woods just outside of Sarah's village for nearly three whole years. During that time he took pleasure in visiting with just about everyone, and before he knew it he was quite the popular one among the telmarines. At least, in the particular place; he didn't venture too far away from Sarah's home. Feeling that he should stay and protect it, it was all he could do to repay Sarahs kindness and besides; he was naturally protective of his friends.

One day while he was out cooling in the river he met another tiger, who he came to know as Gavriel. He was quite the opposite to Javan, or at least when it came down to lifestyle. He told Javan several stories of his travels; Gavriel was quite the adventurous one and had been to several places in his four years of life. Where as Javan, being six, had been to only two different areas. After being around Gavriel for a few days, he himself became more curious about the rest of the world; from what he had heard, there were so much more than he could of imagined. Then again, to anyone else it was probably uninterested; but for Javan, it was amazing.. after all, he has not ventured far.

Gavriel departed soon and left Javan with a new feeling. One that wanted to travel and adventure; something he had never even thought of before - he was quite the 'pack' animal, even though cats were apparently suppose to be more solitary.

It was a few months after he met Gav that he decided to leave the place he had grown to call home. He said his farewells to everyone in the village, and disappeared. His real life was about to begin.

It has been four years since then and Javan has come across plenty of bizarre and wondrous things. Meeting all kinds of creatures as well being in a fair number of battles. He has even had some more near-death experiences, fortunately for him someone was always there to fix him up. He has grown to love travel, though settles in places for a few weeks every now and then. He is far from done though, still very healthy and alive and has much more life to experience.
