Thought I'd try spriting today, and...well, focused more on this fella than Crest's B-day present.(Sorry about that, since I'm feeling better I'll work on it tomorrow after School.)
This is Clay, a character I had come up with around the same time as 'Backpack'(FA'ers should know about it), which was a 16-bit game I'd love to be able to make someday--Clay here, is kind of a 'Narikirishi' if you will, or as he knows it as, a 'Rank-Shifter'.
It's a skill passed down to certain individuals, especially those of the Dawson blood-line.
Anyway, I wanted to post this before bed, so hopefully I make some form of sense right now. ^ ^;

Name: Clay Dawson
Eyes: Dark Orange
Fur:An Orangy Yellow
Hair: Orange
Favorite color: None, he likes a lot of them
Weapons: Whatever fits the rank he's using--but his base weapons are swords as a Freelancer.
Class: Rank-Shifter.
Age: 21
Gender: male
Birthdate: 10/21/1899
Height: 6' 5"
Blood Type: B
Race: Cat
Family: Molder Dawson(Father, MIA), Millia Floresse Dawson(Mother), Amber Dawson(Sister).

As a kitten, Clay always showed interest in his Fathers stories of adventure, and the outside world--he'd never seen what lied beyond his hometown, and often imagined what he would see.
He grew up on a farm with his family, tending to the animals, the land-scape--whatever needed to be done, he and his family worked hard.
Molder, Clays Father often traveled for his guild, so he wasn't always home since he was working to provide for his loved ones.
But for a little while, there was no trace of Molder, let alone a note or anything--Clay vowed he would take on the job a guild worker and find him, but the time never came.
Finally, when he was 21, the then-leader of the guild finally issued Clay his trial, sending him to face a Clay Drone--after that, Clay learned of his potential.
Working as hard as he can, Clay hopes to find his Father, along with his friends, and the new abilities he learns along the way.

The ranks are as follows so far:
Freelancer
Knight
Thief
Mage

I'll update the ranks as I get to them--sometime soon, I'll experiment and see if I can establish a custom style for Clay later, so keep your eyes peeled. :3
