Societatem - Eric
Eric is a tall, lithe tom with kit-soft fur. His pelt is sleek, but the fur on his tail is plumy. His paws are large and heavy, fitting for his thick, black claws. His fur is a dull, greyish brown color. He has darker colored ears and a curly tuft of fur that hangs over his left eye. This darker color is speckled over his shoulders, the back of his neck, the corners of his eyes, his knees, and the tip of his tail. The insides of Eric's ears are a pale, almost-white color, as is his chest, underbelly, and right front paw. His whiskers are curled and ragged, and around his neck is a white collar spiked with long nails. His eyes are very unusual. His right eye is a sharp ice blue, while the left eye, which is normally hidden from view, is a bright electric orange. He has a long, squared-off muzzle and a black nose. Eric has a strange, unknown disease similar to mange that makes certain affected parts of his skin shed its fur and become black and covered with a horrible ragged rash. The left side of his face, half of his right front leg, and the top of his left hind leg are the areas that have been affected. The disease is not contagious and does not impair Eric in any way. Sometimes cuts and sores appear on the rash and ooze blood. At this moment, there is a deep slash across his left cheek, exposing white bone.
Eric rarely speaks and much more powerful, making him the brute force of the duo. He is not shy though, and will not hesitate to put anyone in their place. He has a constant look of boredom and indifference, but shows emotion much more around Odd. His anger is something to be feared beyond all else, as is his mood when hunting or eating. He is somewhat indifferent to pain as well. Eric dislikes their alliance with Ragged and has expressed it before, but he doesn't have the will to leave Odd, who adores Ragged and is extremely loyal to the bobcat.
Eric was born to a loner, who, only days later, was literally torn to shreds by dogs. His father appeared then, a cold, unfeeling, brackish-colored tom who had originally only intended to dump Eric at the door of a Twoleg. He did just that, but kept in contact with his son, taking him out every day to show Eric his father's territory. Eric's father never told him his name, only tolerating being addressed as "Sir". Sir was in control of a vast swath of the Twoleg city, and held the respect of many cats. Eric witnessed brutal fights and executions at an extremely young age, and became used to it. He reveled in the almost worship-like respect he got from Sir's cats, and despite the horror of it all, acted like a kit would in a field of flowers. He even poked nails through his collar. Eric was ten moons old when he met Odd, who was more than half his age at the time. He first encountered the white tom on a solo patrol, and followed him until Odd unknowingly passed in front of Eric's house. Eric approached the white cannibal, intrigued by the scent of carrion that clouted the air around Odd. The two became quick friends, and Eric, suspecting Odd's strange habit without having to be told, purposely leff blood trails to fresh bodies for the white tom where he knew Odd was. By the time Odd actually told Eric, Eric was unfazed. Soon after the two went traveling, wandering the world in search of Odd's next meal. That is, until they found Ragged. Eric is 25 moons old.
