Now, I can't promise that I'll ever RP here, but thought I'd post the character I'd use if I decide to, before all the good ideas get taken up :-
General.
Name: Kahra Wild.
Gender: Female.
Age: 25.
Date of Birth: 11th August.
Birthplace: Eastbourne, United Kingdom.
Background: Kahra was born to two very laid back parents, neither came from money nor were they poor. Both of her parents love nature and animals, so Kahra’s childhood was spent around them. Kahra has an older brother (two years older)- Lukas. Taking her love of animals and her talents forward in life, Kahra became a Conservationist and Tiger expert, and moved to India to help the tigers there, pparticularly the Bengal Tigers.
Religion: Completely and utterly Athiest.
Sexual Orientation: Straight.
Appearance.
Height: 5”3.
Weight: Roughly 52kg.
Skin Colour: Caucasian but tanned, looks more Italian skinned.
Eye Colour: Emerald Green.
Hair Colour: Long, straight, dark chocolate brown.
Facial Description: Kahra is neither pretty nor ugly. Like her mother, she’s been blessed with piercing eyes that are slightly too big for her face. She has thin lips, and clear skin (a product of the very few female rituals she partakes in). Kahra doesn’t normally bother with make-up. She has one distinguishing feature and that is a huge bite scar, one from a tiger. It travels down her neck and is visible along her left jawline
Body Description: Kahra keeps herself in good shape, as it’s needed in her line of work. She keeps herself toned, with more muscle than fat. She’s not insanely muscular, but more built than your average lassy.
Clothing Day Wear: As she lives in the heat of India, Kahra’s normal attire consist of shorts (not the short SHORT kind, the mid thigh range- in any fabric from denim to cotton) and a strap/tank top of varying colours. She’s not picky. She has a few pairs of hiking boots for comfort and for durability. If she is not working she prefers Roman sandals. If the weather during the day turns cold (rarely) or wet, Kahra has a few pairs of skinny jeans along with some cotton trousers.
Clothing Night Wear: If you’re talking pyjamas, Kahra doesn’t wear any, but she has a pair of ‘slumming shorts’ and a tight-fitted Scotland rugby jersey she likes to wear to skudge around in. For ‘fancy’ wear… Kahra doesn’t really do fancy. She has a few dresses and a pair of high heeled sandals… not that she has much chance to wear them. She feels awkward in dresses, so a pair of smart trousers and a top is better for her.
Accessories/Tattoos: Kahra has two tattoos and eight piercings. Her left arm consists of a sleeve of vines, from her wrist over her left shoulder, clinging onto the vines is a Western dragon. She has a prowling through the undergrowth on the right side of her belly button down to her right hip bone. These are not coloured. She has two piercings in the lobes of each ear, and four in a cross shape around her belly button.
Personality.
Positive Attributes: Kahra has always known what she wants and is intelligent enough to get it (usually). She’s a well-spoken and highly logical woman, and that usually gets her into trouble as she is somewhat unwilling to except illogical ideas. She is independent and likes her own space. After working in the outback of India, she is constantly aware of her surroundings and is a good judge of character, but when she’s not working, she does like to indulge her overactive imagination. She is loyal to those who she thinks deserve it.
Negative Attributes: Kahra needs to work on her people skills. She doesn’t have much trust for humans, especially those who believe in illogical things and preach about them. She is impatient and stubborn, and doesn’t bother to hide what she thinks from people… in fact she is brick to the head subtle and tends to speak before she thinks. She doesn’t like being told how to feel or react or what to think and her short temper and head-strong attitude won’t hesitate to put whoever it is back in their place.
Likes: Kahra likes her own space, and she likes quiet. She likes doing her own thing and has done since she was very little. She’s always been independent and that will never change. She likes music and will listen to various genres depending on what mood she’s in. Kahra knows she has a brilliant mind, and likes to do things to keep it active and working. She’s not one for romance, but prefers straight talking and admires people a lot like her. As a past time, she indulges herself in fantasy books, ones with magic and vampires and demons and great wars.
Dislikes: She detests the city and everything about it, the busy hurried attitude to it all. She doesn’t have time for people that look for attention, liars, cheats or preachers. These are all strong influences from her parents. She doesn’t like confrontation and, if one should arise, she would rather turn her back in indifference. If she has no other choice she will fight fiercely. Kahra is an organised person so she hates anything that’s disorganised. Frantic, loud and energetic people set her on edge and confuse her.
Skills.
Skill 1: She is so well versed in animal psychology, physiology and body language that she can practically speak to animals. She has always had a way with animals, like some form of connection that allows her to understand what they’re thinking, how they’re feeling.
Skill 2: She has a knack for healing wounded and injured animals, especially big cats whether it be with her homemade balms and lotions or with anything else (fuss).
Skill 3: Bow and Gun Proficiency. Working in India has meant that Kahra is good at using both guns (particularly the sniper rifle) and a bow. Not that she has had much chance to use them, she trains regularly with them in case the situation should arise. In her occupation, she is also very proficient in using a tranquiliser gun.
Skill 4:
Skill 5:
Weakness 1: Her people skills. Kahra doesn’t really have a lot of tact or diplomacy unless with people she knows well. She finds herself incredibly awkward in the company of humans she doesn’t know and would much rather be in the company of the tigers at the reserve or her own personal pet, Stripes.
Weakness 2: Animal cruelty. She feels incredible empathy to any animals being hurt and that’s partially because she can ‘feel for them’. An animal in pain or an animal as a hostage is something that will both hurt and anger her.
Weakness 3:
History.
Kahra grew up under the protection of her two parents and her older brother, Lukas. As a young girl, she would spend a lot of time with her brother and his friends as she was considered one of the guys. At the age of six, her parents bought her Sky, her first and most loved pet, a smokey grey cat. They formed a bond immediately due to her affinity to animals. As she grew up, she took solace in the fact Sky would be there when she got home from school and when she woke up until one day as she turned sixteen and Sky was rushed to the vets mysteriously ill. She died in Kahra’s arms. From that moment on, Kahra decided to dedicate her lives to the enrichment of animals, especially endangered species like her favourites- the tiger. She studied hard at college where she achieved highest grade in Animal Care and Husbandry along with psychology and she took that to university where she studied Animal Conservation and Enrichment, specialising in tigers, along with Animal Biology. Once she left University with near enough top grades, Kahra said goodbye to her life in Eastbourne and moved to India’s rural outback, where she opened up a reserve for Sumatran tigers. Whether there were injured, or in need of rehabilitation, Kahra accepted them in and soon enough she had a large reserve of about thirty acres and expanding. On a particular trip to the outback, Kahra is called to a devastating scene- one where a mother tiger had been shot by poachers, leaving her one cub alone in the wilderness. Kahra took him in, immediately forming a bond with the cat, reassuring him that he will be alright. From that moment, Kahra found herself with a pocket tiger, whom she named Stripes. They have been inseparable ever since.

Great job!
