His tongue is blue! :D
But yes, my cheetah char. I've been working on this on and off for a while, and finally have him down. :D SO HAPPY.
Yes, indeed, he's an Asiatic Cheetah, which differs only slightly from African Cheetahs, but still. Asiatic.
He's also a crazy mix of different Cheetah coat mutations: King (for the splotches and stripes) Wooly (for the fuzziness) and Chinchilla (for the white with grayish markings).
If he existed in real life, he'd be soooo horribly inbred, it's scary. D:
He's also a gender chimera, which might be possible due to the craziness of his genes, and to the probability that the embryos would be less stable and more likely to fuse in the womb.
The only thing this really affects is that most animals, going by scent alone, confuse him for a female, when he is decidedly, most definitely, male. A
This makes him Mad. A LOT.
But he's pretty.
JAVID: (persian meaning: "eternal")
Born in the palace of a Persian Lord to two king mutation cheetahs. He was the first and only of his kind to ever be seen, and as such he was held under tight security, believed to be a special gift from the gods. He was trained to hunt as other cheetahs were, but he was only allowed outside of his small enclosure in the Lord's wing on rare occasions, and for special feasts. He was not allowed to live in the large enclosure the other cheetahs shared, and was only fed by servants of the highest class.
One day, he was suddenly packed onto a covered wagon and sent off on a long journey. Days passed, and the scenery began to changed, more and more. The people who surrounded him were not ones he knew, and he grew more agitated as time went on. Suddenly, the scene outside his barred wagon changed drastically. Instead of his home hills and plains, he saw nothing but a fine dusty yellow land ahead of him. Occasionally he could pick out trees in the distance, but they seemed much different than those he'd known back home.
One day, the wheel of the wagon broke, and while the men set about to repair it they chained him to another wagon. They were not careful enough, however, and the collar they'd placed on him was much too loose. Waiting until they were not paying attention, he slipped free of collar and chain and took off into the wild...

Thank you! :D He was so much fun to come up with... And as soon as I read about the chinchilla coat mutation I fell in love with it.
Funny to think it all started with me wanting a cheetah care with golden markings on black fur, a la "Tomorrow's Sphinx".... xD
Oooo I'm going to send you a note with the list, because I forget who I asked for... @__@
