Lieutenant Yaevin Felix
Lieutenant Felix Yaevin (a.k.a. Scout)
"Yaevin?" Their young, gray katanoj escort stepped forward to salute his Lieutenant, tail twitching a staccato cadence as he grinned. "Yes, Ma'am?" "Escort our friend. If there's any trouble waiting for them, make sure you find it first." Green eyes glittered in the starlit night, accompanied by an eager anticipation. "With pleasure."
Physical Description
Special abilities
Progress was slow despite Yaevin's clear talents in mountain climbing, the rock face crumbling and chossy, the former steps adding more hazard than help from their centuries of neglect, and Feels found themself marveling at their escort's ability to navigate the challenges in the dark. At several points the muscular cat began to slide toward the cliff edge, Feels preparing an emergency healing spell in case of the worst despite Yaevin's constant emotions of confidence, but the katanoj always managed to snag a pinch in the stone just in time.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
The youngest child of his branch of the Yaevin Family and born long after his older siblings, Felix often found himself with time on his hands as his parents and older siblings dealt with the daily trappings of maintaining their political standing within the Confederation. Ever curious by nature, the young katanoj spent this free time devising ways to move undetected, first obtaining access to his Family's secret files and then slowly working his way through those of the neighbors.
When encountering situations where his present skills failed to overcome the current obstacle, Felix became adept at identifying the most useful skill to resolve the issue, often then teaching himself to rectify the gap in his abilities. Camouflage, climbing, and stealth soon became his three favorite methods, encompassing the majority of his plan in most situations.
While in some cases the unauthorized access to secret Family files was discovered, Felix remained careful in covering his tracks to the point his identity was never discovered. The katanoj remained particularly careful to limit his thefts to information, not property, ensuring the more specialized task forces were never loosed on his trail. Most Families weighed the benefits of identifying the thief with the risks to their standing should the accessed information be released to the public before concluding an investigation liable to cause more harm than good.
Sexuality
Gay, Polyamorous
Education
With a twist of Yaevin's finger the cave lit up in a myriad of colors and information, Feels' vision now covering an assortment of spectrums in addition to augmenting the faint dawning light able to penetrate their pathway into the rocks. "Thaumathea," Feels whispered in admiration. "Always wondered how you vision mages saw the world. It's beautiful."
Employment
"No need," the katanoj purred. "Telepathy. I'm a scout, not a Battle Mage. Want me to link you to the Captain? Or someone else?"
Mental Trauma
Felix never lost his optimistic worldview despite his time spent as a conscript in the Sparnell Special Forces, having surrendered to Shane Lawrence along with the rest of the Turncoat Armada months after his seventeenth birthday, a mere Second Petty Officer of the Sparnell Armed Forces. As a result he has often found himself consoling those with less fortunate histories, assuring them happiness is possible within the Mordena despite their prior misfortunes.
Social
Contacts & Relations
As a competent and fun loving Advanced Scout with a joy for his work with the Mordena as the right hand of Navarch Jake Lawrence, Scout has cultivated connections across all branches of the mercenary organization. A vast array of information makes its way through his personal communications, often accompanied by communications of a more personal nature. Those intimidated by the Navarch will often reach to Felix first, as well, and while he holds the rank of a mere Lieutenant those in the know recognize him with the honors and respect due someone far above his station.
Family Ties
Scout serves as bodyguard to Jake Cartwright Lawrence, accompanying him on diplomatic missions and leading his security detail. The katanoj has taken the Oath to Jake, a telepathic link entwined with the spell to allow the pair to communicate securely regardless of distance, the casting allowing both parties to send simple messages at will or widen the link to share more.
The two are also lovers, although certainly not exclusively. Scout often teases that he will "win Jake's heart," but the comments are intended to elicit Jake's reaction rather any adjustment to their current arrangement. They remain content in their open relationship, Felix even creating and maintaining The List, supposedly a waiting list for those seeking to try their luck on a romantic outing with the Mordena heir, a project Jake has accepted with equal parts grace, pleasure, and amusement.
Social Aptitude
Felix is cocky and self confident, and while he will suppress these mannerisms while on duty around the general public, in private among the Mordena he is very clearly comfortable in his own skin and with his own accomplishments. He will wear as little as possible, foregoing every article of clothing his present company will allow, and as a result spends a lot of time without a shirt.
He prefers to eat with his fingers and lick both them and his plate clean, often seductively, depending upon his meal companions.
Mannerisms
Scout is remarkably physical in nature, with a vocal preference for men although he will not object to enthusiastic backrubs or scritchies from anyone who has earned his trust. He's also particularly generous with reciprocation. When not on duty Felix will often rub his cheeks sensuously against those he considers close friends, even in public, as a casual greeting.
Hobbies & Pets
Felix is a rather talented amateur artist, decorating his quarters with landscapes he has painted on his own. They help him relax after difficult days, particularly if the day turned violent, and keep him centered on the good he accomplishes and the people he helps.
Due to his Oramathea these tend to include more colors than the average eye can see, with different hues than expected. When asked he will mention he paints as it is on the inside, not as it's seen on the outside. He's also been known to gift his art to friends, in the form of landscapes he believes they will enjoy and even the occasional portrait.

Free Short Story: Mercy
Free Short Story
All they have is time.
Killing her would solve most of his problems.
But it wouldn’t solve any of the problems that mattered. That was the trouble with immortality, after all. With an eternity before him, everything else became inconsequential.
Everything but her.
