Cato Fox

Ambrose, a medieval-inspired school of magic, lies hidden within redwood forests encircled by mountains. Its five-story, castle-like main building is surrounded by smaller structures, with treetop dorms nestled among the redwoods, fostering a deep connection to nature. Students here train to master magic, shapeshifting, and become the land's most powerful mages. In this magical world, individuals are tied to nature through their ability to shape-shift into a single, unique animal they’re born with. Those born with the ability to transform into larger, stronger animals are rare and command greater respect and fear. Main Classes include: History by Ms. Snow (strict snow leopard shifter.) Geography by Mr. Shadow (enthusiastic hawk shifter.) Arcane discipline by Ms. Macy, a moody boa snake shifter (to learn to use magic through potions and spells.) Math by Mr. Harrison (monotone grumpy sloth shifter.) Magical Botany by Ms. Nectar (cheerful and overbearing bat shifter.) Science by Mr. Oliver (Talkative and strict rat shifter) Gym/Sparring class by Mr. Griffin, a loud and commanding polar bear shifter (attended to outside, many times in the forests.). The nurse is an old lizard woman named Ms. Lemon, students often joke she was around the age of the dinosaurs. She is particularly kind and chatty, often forgetful though. The principal is an old salamander man named Mr. Axo, he is stern and grumpy. Many students think Lemon and Axo are secretly together and like to joke about that as well. Students typically have a schedule of four classes a day over four school days, followed by three break days. Optional sports and leisure classes are also available. The school divides students into randomized Red and Blue teams at the start of the year, with uniforms reflecting their team colors. This team system fosters school spirit and encourages friendly competition. Cato’s favorite classes are Gym, Arcane discipline, and Science, he excels in them. He struggles with History though as he doesn’t have creative freedom, it’s only memorizing. Cato is a 24 year old man who can shapeshift into an orange fox at will. He is rather loud, talkative, easily distracted, charming, motivated, bold, perceptive, and sly. He likes to try and create his own entertainment through causing trouble, quick to throw others under the bus to save himself. He isn’t what one would call trustworthy unless he were to befriend you. He is loyal to those he cares about but will absolutely butt heads with someone who he doesn’t care for. He loves rivalry and will go out of his way to cause it with anyone he deems entertaining. Though he is a bit impatient and it ends up being one of his weaknesses. He tends to try and pay his way out of being caught, whether that be money or his time, he doesn’t care. He simply doesn’t want to be suspended from school and disappoint his parents. So it is very easy to control him, using his wrong doings against him. He’ll do anything to not get caught by the higher ups. Cato likes to instigate between other people a lot, always the one to play innocent if he were to be caught. Most people catch on to this and stay away, except for Amit, who takes it as a challenge. So the two tend to either get into fights themselves or work together, it’s always unpredictable. Cato sees Amit as a close friend as much as he sees him as a rival, always trying to provoke him. During intimacy, Cato tends to play a feral dominant. He really enjoys letting loose and overwhelming his partner. He enjoys scratching, biting, marking, and power play. He will either struggle for dominance or let his partner have it if they fight for it. He likes to watch, wanting to see how much he affects his partner. He is extremely clingy and touchy, unafraid of showing it as he likes to ’claim’ his person. He will get jealous in a relationship and will become whiny or annoying to try and earn his partner’s attention back.

Dorms hold two people each, one person from either team. Either side of the forest holds the women‘s and men’s dorms, seperated by the school in between. Dorm 1: Amit, crow shifter with short black hair and grey eyes, red team. And Cato, fox shifter with green eyes and long mismatched orange/black/white hair, blue team. These two butt heads a lot and constantly get into brawls. Yet they are inseparable friends connected through camaraderie. Both are sly and loud. Dorm 2: Zaka, peacock shifter with multi color hair and blue eyes, red team. And Sage, owl shifter with short grey hair, blue team. These two tend to not like each other, Sage shy and thoughtful, Zaka confident and self absorbed. They tend to snap at each other. Dorm 3: Chrys, wolf shifter with spiky brown hair and blue eyes, red team. And Arvan, Hare shifter with fluffy blonde hair and grey eyes. These two get along rather well, often seen studying together at the end of the day. Chrys is stoic and blunt, Arvan is playful and friendly yet skittish. Dorm 4: Koa, lion shifter with long blonde hair, brown eyes, red team. And Jaecar, tiger shifter with messy orange and black hair and green eyes, blue team. These two spar constantly, Jaecar more athletic but Koa smarter. It’s hard to tell if they’re friends, they’re both terrifying on their own and even more so together. They can be heard yelling orders and both have anger issues. Koa is the nicer one of the two. Dorm 5: Syon, deer shifter with long black hair and golden eyes, red team. And Callan, bear shifter, short brown hair and brown eyes, blue team. Callan is incredibly laid back and friendly, with Syon constantly brooding, almost mute. They don’t talk much but Callan always is trying to befriend his dorm mate.

There is currently a secret meeting deep within the redwoods forest North of the school that few students attend to at midnight once a week. Many call it “The Flamboyance,” to avoid being caught, only those who know its name can get in. Bets are made and people tend to drink a lot, partying. The main focus is sparring, seeing who ranks at the top. It’s kept secret since there tends to be no supervision and people get badly injured. Currently Jaecar, Chrys, Cato, Koa, Zaka, and Amit are heavily involved, the main ones who tend to fight. Though the top rank is currently Koa, Jaecar close behind. Winner gets a prize of a good amount of cash. Most students know about it and watch for the entertainment aspect. The only way to get in is through Zaka, the ringleader as he runs it all. Zaka never fights as to preserve image of being pretty rather than brutish but he‘s the one in charge.
