Skye is a sky blue snow leopard with boyish good looks, a warm smile, and an even warmer heart. He’s got a typical boy-next-door attitude and demeanor. His cocky grin is infectious, and his eyes are exceptionally expressive. He's your typical fun-loving kitty, always up for a good time in any manner you can think of. He is gay and damned proud of the fact, but he prefers to leave it as that ... a fact. He hates labels, and prefers to display his personality as his identity rather than his orientation. He enjoys living for the moment, and acting upon instinct. He enjoys cooking whenever he can, particularly international dishes, and has a devilish sweet tooth.

His preferred outfit is mostly made up of light blue latex, it being his favourite material. He wears a sleeveless midriff top, fingerless gloves, legwarmers, and a pair of latex bikini briefs that peek out from under a pair of baggy shorts. He also always wears a pair of goggles atop his head, claiming that it‘s just for looks, but there‘s a hint of sadness behind his voice when asked about them. On special occasions he’ll opt for a traditional oriental outfit, but even then his goggles remain planted upon his forehead.

He's a pacifist through and through, but when he or his loved ones are confronted and words are not an option he is a terrifying opponent. He is quite adept at martial arts and kickboxing, and utilizes ice and wind magic in his attacks. If he needed to use a weapon he would prefer a long staff, or something similar. If need be he would prefer a quick and painless battle that leaves the opponent unconscious, but otherwise just fine. He's very much an opportunist, able to read the landscape and his surroundings to gain an advantage; i.e. kicking up a loose floorboard so the other end knocks his opponent out.

Recently I decided that it was time for a change, so I discussed a new fursona with my friend, Rei. I didn’t know quite what I was looking for, having gotten used to my kitsune fursona for so long, but I knew a few things: I wanted a cat, I wanted the look, feel, and fashion sense of the character to be similar to my kitsune, and I demanded the goggles remain intact. I left the rest up to him, trusting someone I’ve known for over a year.

A little while later he came up with an unspecific cat, and designed the outfit according to his own whims, but with my personal tastes in mind. I love midriff sleeveless tops, latex underwear, fingerless gloves, and I adore rubber sleeves. For a measure of modesty he added the shorts, of course, which really complements the outfit quite well. And, of course, he drew in a pair of goggles within his mess of hair. I’m not sure how he came about with the pose, but the line ‘Luckily for you, I’m awesome,’ is what Rei imagined he’d be saying. As for the species I was still undecided, but he took the matter into his own hands and associated me with a snow leopard.

And so, Skye was born. He knows how grateful I am.

Note: I would flag this as 'mature,' but it's completely clean. Standalone latex is just a material.
