'Of the three kittens born to Zeus and Leto, this Blue-Green-Water looks the most like his father. Inheriting Zeus' dark fur and distinctive back stripe, Perseus is a lithe, built-but-not-bulky young tom-cat with medium-short fur and a slender, fluffy tail. His eyes are a deep sea-green and his ears are tall and pointed, quite unlike his mother and siblings. His left ear is torn and ragged, a fond memory of a rather interesting encounter with a shark, and across his left foreleg is a scar caused by the claws of the lynx that took the lives of his parents. He wears a shark tooth necklace around his neck, taken from the same shark who (possibly) bit off his ear. And his braided 'mane' is held together by two bronze loops.

Zeus and Leto weren't exactly what you would call a 'normal' couple. There was no epic proposal, no accessories given or poems recited. No, in fact, for the first few weeks of her pregnancy, Leto was left thinking that her kittens would be raised without a father. She did not blame Zues, for it was in his nature. He was known for his antics with she-cats, and his aloof nature. She'd known that when she first came across him that day in early Winter and honestly, she didn't expect to see him ever again. So it was with great surprise that she ran into him later that year. After a quick chat, she confirmed that the kittens growing inside her were indeed his. Leto fully expected him to turn tail and run, but instead, Zeus offered to catch her some prey. Later, he promised to help care for her, and for the kittens. He wasn't offering to stay forever, or guaranteeing that there wouldn't be other she-cats, but knowing that she wouldn't be alone in this was enough for Leto.

Their kittens were born on a lovely Spring afternoon - Two boys, and two girls, named Ero, Sol, Luna and Starla respectively. Sadly, little Starla was frail from the beginning, and to her parent's dismay, passed away during her first night on Earth. Though this did not come as a shock to either of the parents, Leto grieved for their daughter. It was only through Zeus' constant support that she was able to properly mother her three remaining kits. Ero and his siblings blossomed under the watchful eyes of their loving parents. The little tom quickly became Zeus' obvious favourite, despite his reassuring words to Luna and Sol. Ero looked like him, walked like him, and talked like him, a fact that that seemed to delight Zeus.

Though their father wasn't always around at the beginning, the older tom began to visit more and more frequently until, one day, he stopped by to deliver lunch… And stayed. He and Leto had fallen in love with each other and with their family, and for a long while, they couldn't have been happier. But as they say, all good things must come to an end. Shortly after the kits received their strange tattoos, tragedy struck. They'd spent most of the morning listening to their mother tell stories about the Tribes while Zeus was away hunting, but eventually, she shooed them outside, insisting that they get a little sunlight and fresh air before she continued. Leto couldn't have known about the lynx. It crept up on them like a shadow in the night, stealthy, silent and deadly. Luna was the first to see it, and her screech alerted their mother, who was out of the den in a heart beat, claws unsheathed, back arched and teeth bared as she hissed in defiance, shielding her offspring from the terrible beast that had stumbled across their den. The battle was quick, and though she fought bravely, Leto fell to the claws of the beast. The lynx turned its attention to the kits, but it was in that moment that Zeus reappeared, a rage-filled howl escaping him at the sight of his mate's lifeless body. He urged the kittens to run, to get away as fast as possible. "Don't look back," He'd meowed, his eyes hard and filled with sorrow. "Don't look back." Ero and his siblings stumbled off into the trees, but as Sol and Luna moved forward, Ero disobeyed his father's last wish. He looked. And Sol and Luna stopped to look with him. They watched, silent, as the lynx tore open the body of their beloved father and began to feast. After a few moments, Ero turned from the sight and quietly ushered his siblings away into the foliage.

With no home and no parents to go back to, Ero had to grow up fast. He took on the leadership role in their little family unit, becoming their replacement 'father' of sorts, though Ero preferred the word guardian (that, and he hated the looks his brother would give when he expected to see Zeus and found Ero there instead). He led his younger siblings away from their old den, and as one, the three young cats left their old lives behind. They travelled South, always on the move and never stopping in one place for too long. For many moons they zig-zagged down the Northern lands, cautious of any strange cats they met and ever wary of their surroundings, fearful the the lynx had somehow followed them. Moving through the Tribe lands as quickly as their paws could carry them, the siblings finally came to a stop on the Southern outskirts of Air-Tribe territory, settling down close to the ocean and far enough away from the Air-Tribe camp that their presence went undetected.

By that time, Ero and his brother and sister were about 9 moons old; old enough, of course, to fend for themselves, but still not fully grown, still not quite ready to face the world alone. This became apparent very quickly. Ero was intrigued by the group of cats they'd settled close to, and he had every intention of visiting them someday. But those plans screeched to a halt on a cold, grey Winter's morning. Sol had always been fond of swimming; it was something they all had in common. So even though it should have been much too cold, Ero's younger brother went for a swim. And that's when the shark attacked. He probably hadn't expected it, since the weather was so bleak, but what affected those above did not necessarily affect those that lurked in the deep. Ero was close by when he heard his brother's screeching, and without a moment's hesitation or thought for his own safety, the dark tom leapt into the water to rescue Sol. The shark had bitten his brother, apparently testing to see if he was indeed edible. The water was stained red with blood but in the chaos of thrashing water, limbs and fins, Ero was able to grab hold of Sol's scruff and drag him to safety. It was only when they'd reached the shoreline, and Luna had come running to help, that Ero noticed he too, was bleeding. Somehow he'd lost half of his left ear during the encounter. Perhaps he'd been bitten, or maybe Sol's thrashing claws had done the deed. Ero didn't care. His brother was alive, and that's all that mattered. (After the attack, he jokingly asked Sol if he could have one of the shark teeth sticking out of his rump, and was promptly cuffed across the head. The blow was accompanied by a muttered, "Keeping talking, and you'll lose the other ear too.")

Ero's plans to visit the other cats were put on hold while Sol healed. And even after his wounds closed up, Ero stuck around, still too nervous to leave his family alone. But eventually, one year after his birth, the gentle winds of Spring came again and beckoned him forward. There was more to this life than just surviving, he knew, and he hoped that the Cats of the Tribes might have something new to offer. And so he bid farewell to Luna and Sol, hoping that perhaps one day, they too might come to join the Tribes. Ero travelled North, where he bumped into a strange cat with a green mark on his forehead. The stranger took one look at his shoulder, snorted, and pointed him towards the river. He followed it for most of the day as it wound through a forest like a snake in the grass. He crossed a strange bridge with a rolling log, pranced his way through a vast field of flowers and, finally, reached his destination- Water-Tribe camp. There, he was welcomed into his new home. As he introduced himself to his new Tribe-mates, the tattoo on his shoulder flared to life, the black replaced with a gradient of green and blue. Later, he would learn his true name; Perseus, and begin his adventure as a member of Water-Tribe.

In Chronological Order:

- Title Here: Participants

.: Loyal :.
Percy would give anything for his friends. And that isn't necessarily a good thing. His loyalties extend far beyond what is typical of an average Tribe-cat. He would not hesitate to give his life for the ones he loves, and if it were a choice between his friends or the end of the world, it's entirely possible that Percy would let it all burn to keep his loved ones safe.

.: Rebellious & Brave:.
A natural born leader, Percy isn't afraid to fight the good fight, especially if it means saving his friends and keeping them safe. In the face of danger and certain death, he is able to act with uncharacteristic clarity and reasoning. Sadly, his outgoing personality makes him a bit of a rebel. He dislikes being ordered around or subdued, and this gets him into trouble more often than not.

.: Intelligent (?) :.
Perseus isn't exactly dumb, per say. In fact, for the most part, this young tomcat is quite intelligent. Sadly, as with most toms his age, Percy can be rather dim-witted and oblivious at times, often missing social cues that would have many she-cats shaking their heads in shame.

.: Sarcastic & Laid-back :.
Percy is a rather laid-back, go-with-the-flow sort of guy. He tries not to get too worked up about the little things, and so long as you don't threaten someone he loves, be prepared for good vibes and friendship. His sense of humour mostly consists of sarcasm and ironic statements, and unless you've proven to be an enemy of sorts, his jokes are all in good fun.

- Percy's voice actor is Justin Kelly
- Percy loves the company of both genders, but when it comes to romance and all that comes with it, Percy is 100% homosexual.
- Unsurprisingly, Percy loves water. Whether it's swimming in ponds, rolling in snow or prancing about in the rain, this tomcat prefers a wet pelt over a dry one.
- If Perseus was a human being, he'd probably be diagnosed with ADHD (Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). But since he's just a cat, Percy's just a really hyper-active guy with the attention span of a fish.
- His favourite Season is Summer. A day at the beach in the hot sun and cool water is, to Percy, a day very well spent.
- Though not obsessed or overly interested, Percy has a special fondness of spiders. He loves the way they weave, and will often stop in his daily activities to watch a spider spin its web.

_{((From a tGB RP with CowElk's Erim))}

The first snows of Winter had begun to fall over the land of Nandryx, coating the world in a soft layer of silver and white. Icicles hung down from bare tree branches, tiny animals slept peacefully in the nests, safe and warm while waiting out the cold months for spring, and everywhere, the cats of the Tribes did their best to live comfortably despite the cold. Of course, there were some who hadn't yet experienced such a cold and quite a few of them now resisted in the almost full Light-Tribe nursery that, despite the weather outside, managed to stay dry and warm. Two queens lay sleeping in their nests, both surrounded and cuddled up to their new kittens. One such bundle of fur had been perfectly happy slumbering on peacefully, until his sister's leg connected with his side, jerking him awake and immediately putting a frown on his face.

"I am now," He grumbled, pulling himself up into a sitting position and yawning widely, his sharp little teeth a stark contrast to the dark fur that he had inherited from his mother, though it wasn't nearly as sleek and smooth as hers. No, when it came to pelt thickness and general comparisons, Jazz resembled his Papa, the fluffy grey Yellow-Water Lully. Lifting a forepaw to his mouth, the little Light-Tribe kit set to work grooming himself, something his sister obviously hadn't bothered with that morning.

"Can I ask why you decided to wake me up so early?" He asked lazily between licks, eyeing her apathetically. "Or have you adjusted your annoyance schedule so that's it's all day now?"
