personality

▌██▌ ► PROTECTIVE | NURTURING | INSTINCTIVE | ROWDY | STUBBORN | PLAYFUL
▌██▌
▌██▌ He definitely comes off as a dad; even before Chie the one he took care of was his clan (even now), his
▌██▌ family always comes first and foremost but it's never something restricting. Saiga's family is always
▌██▌ open to anyone that needs it, a gathering of misfits. A commonly associated word with them is kindness,
▌██▌ followed close behind terrifying. While his arms are open to everyone, that love is turned into a deadly
▌██▌ weapon to keep those he embraces protected. A scary guy to get on your bad side, the ravenous tiger is
▌██▌ turned into a kitten if presented yarn; overall Saiga is a fun-loving guy with a couple of quirks even if
▌██▌ his easygoing carefree naivety gets him into messes. He's still the only one he'll allow to clean them up.

history

▌██▌ All Saiga ever fantasized about was the warmth of a large family, though that wasn't grated to him. A
▌██▌ cold steel, coin-operated locker was all that awaited him at birth. His mother's situation was unknown
▌██▌ to him, and honestly he accepted that, since knowing wouldn't change anything if only make him more
▌██▌ resentful but if she couldn't care for him it was really for the best. From a young age he was in and out
▌██▌ of foster homes for being “too loud and disruptive” – a nuisance on every family given to him.
▌██▌ 
▌██▌ Eventually he grew too old and started living on his own at seventeen, he scrapped together for everything
▌██▌ but there was one thing about the troublemaker: he attracted others to him. Regardless of circumstances
▌██▌ his presence was always charming and enjoyable leading to a bountiful amount of friends – although
▌██▌ all hoodlums – it was a warmth that kindled the flame in his heart. Though he was still a tramp, causing
▌██▌ problems wherever his gang went forming one of the most up-and-coming Ribsteez teams in the game.
▌██▌ 
▌██▌ A woman came to him a few years later, someone he'd placed affections in but never returned.
▌██▌ Excitement hushed forth, blockaded by a bundle in her arms. She'd never been responsible a single
▌██▌ moment in her, and didn't plan on changing her cabaret days for a child she didn't want. With a
▌██▌ seductive voice she presented Saiga with a child he knew full well couldn't have been his, giving him
▌██▌ an option, but he smiled all the same, clutching the child close to his chest with a sense of pride and
▌██▌ passion he never experienced before. Ignoring the glee of a woman that was free to resume her nightlife
▌██▌ that never surfaced from eternal night again.
▌██▌ 
▌██▌ Even if he was a delinquent trying to raise a child, it took a village – a village of violent idiots trying to
▌██▌ figure out how to make formula, change diapers, and rushing to the emergency room in the middle of
▌██▌ the night when she got sick. A perfect family that was so dysfunctional but did their best to get through;
▌██▌ a family Saiga would never trade for the world.

allmate

▌██▌ ► TORAMA
▌██▌ 
▌██▌ A very soft-spoken and formal golden tiger allmate, often nicknamed 'Tori', that belongs to Saiga.
▌██▌ Torama is Saiga's better half, often referred to as Saiga's wife because of his serious, stick-in-the-mud,
▌██▌ worrywart personality, a stark contrast to his owner. Torama's responsibilities include raising Chie,
▌██▌ duties around the lounge, and keeping Saiga in line. He's a little possessive of Saiga, living up to his
▌██▌ wife title though it's unapparent to him, causing him to apologize and ask to be reconfigured to get rid
▌██▌ of any unpleasing traits when teased about it.

relationships

▌██▌ ► CHIE (7) | daughter | wailord
▌██▌ 
▌██▌ Saiga's seven year old kitten (daughter) that already acts like she's grown. She antagonizes her overly
▌██▌ affectionate father and finds him too embarrassing to deal with. However she's completely accepted
▌██▌ Torama's existence into her life as a secondary parent (since he's so cool and suave unlike her father)
▌██▌ if not a little infatuated with him... Though she does find some common ground with Saiga in their
▌██▌ interests but outside of the house they shouldn't have any connection.

i roleplay via notes, possibly skype (though i prefer keeping my skype for chatting with friends only), gaia, tumblr/twitter (tho i'd have to get one together for him if someone did want to), or an art rp (i have tegaki messenger and drawr) and just about anything else. dA chats crash a lot for me but i'd still like to try. i prefer para-style over everything else, tho i can try chat-style but i get kinda a wordy and eliminate the point to it. also group rps would be really fun bc one-on-ones aren't as interesting (though just as good) without a third dynamic, which is something i miss out on a lot bc i never go into chats, so if you'd be up for that let's get some people together~
