appearance
[melanistic f1 savannah w/ gold eyes]
tall with a lean athletic build, enzio makes for an imposing figure. his legs are long and lithe, made for swift running and jumping, clearly he was built for speed rather than raw strength. his body is on the thinner side, as a side-effect of a poor quality diet when he was younger and his past struggling to find foo in the town. yet you can still tell that he is not without his strength, this guy has muscles but they are smaller and not as well-developed as they should be. they don't have that much of an impact but he is mindful of it nonetheless and tries to actively avoid any strenuous strength work to avoid showcasing this to others, which probably makes it worse.
from a distance, his fur appears jet black, not living up to the stories of golden spotted fur that many savannahs have. though as you get closer, you'll be able to see the dark outline of the spots he would've had as a traditional savannah. they are only visible in certain lighting, but can make him look quite menacing at certain times, if his larger stature doesn't already.
as a savannah, enzio is taller than a domestic feline and wilder too, however, enzio struggled with the fighting side to him. he has strong, sharp claws and teeth but they are his only weapons, they are enough in most situations, but with no formal training, he has no skill or strategic ability. due to this, if pitted against an enemy with tact and experience in battle, he can be quite easily out-moved. he'll try to work on this, but is resistant against help, meaning it'll be a long process for him to gain any kind of battle talent that doesn't rely on instinct.

personality
[shameless/shrewd/unmerciful/loyal]
enzio isn't a nice guy. he's the kind that deliberately makes things uncomfortable and enjoys it. he loves humiliation, and appears to feel no shame from anything he does. he's odd and has no respect for anyone's personal property, so it's not a surprise to find him sleeping in your nest or borrowing something you own without permission. on the flip side, he won't mind if you take anything that belongs to him either, that way it's fair. in a way, enzio doesn't believe that one body can own things, instead he sees something (like a nest or bit of land) as to belonging to a group rather than an individual.
anger doesn't seem to work on him, he just finds it funny. actually, enzio doesn't have the greatest capacity of understanding towards anyone's emotions, he knows what they are but struggles to know how he should react or what made them that way. he's rather untrained in his own emotions, never properly learning how to deal with them, so it makes him volatile and temperamental on occasion. however, he's rather rational and intelligent, making him an asset when it comes to behind the scenes planning. he often uses back-handed or unmoral tactics, though, but really it's whatever gets the job done quickest and most efficiently. enzio is uncompromising in most matters, and has a strong sense of justice, in that the guilty should be offered no mercy. he will also never be merciful towards others that have wronged him or those he cares about.
part of the reason why is because enzio himself is extremely loyal, to the point of stupidity, and assumes that it's just common sense to be. So to even think that someone would betray their friends/family is unspeakable and absurd to him, they don't deserve a second chance. he's unlikely to change from his first impressions of things as he's very stubborn when it comes to his beliefs but given enough evidence he's able to change his ways in time.

history
enzio has had a bit of an unusual past. he was born to a serval father and large purebred domestic feline mother in a breeding program abroad. however, the conditions of the environment during birth and how birthing three large hybrid kittens was too much for the mother and she didn't show an interest towards her offspring, forcing the program to remove them from her and were bottle-fed instead. unfortunately, one of the litter died after not being able to take in enough nutrition. the other two had a difficult start but eventually began to thrive, even though social aspects were a mystery to them due to them being raised by humans for most of their early life. they reached the age where they were able to be sold and both were snapped up quickly, being shipped off in separate directions and they never saw each other again.
enzio was bought by a couple who were interested in exotic pets but who lacked the knowledge to care for them. the tom was given his own room in their very expensive house that was filled with luxury fabrics (they were clearly a rich couple) but an indoor enclosure wasn't enough. enzio went from an environment that had allowed him to thrive in a large outdoor enclosure to barely ever seeing the outside world, and he hated it. naturally, due to his young age, he began to act out, still distraught from losing his sister and not understanding why these people were keeping him from feeling the sun on his back. the indoor room wasn't cutting it.
of course, these people didn't understand what was wrong with him, thinking they had been given a faulty hybrid and took him to the vet. it was the first time he'd seen the outside in months and it was still through a cage. the vet didn't find anything physically wrong other than a bit of malnutrition from the food they were giving him. so he went back to his hell for a few more years, desperately trying to think of a way to escape. unfortunately it would be until a year later, making him 18 months old, that he was finally able to find freedom. he'd grown much larger in his time there, escaping was much easier than his pitiful attempts as a youth.
for a time, enzio was scared and confused by his surroundings and after many animal control officers trying to attack him came to the conclusion that he'd just made it harder on himself. the hybrid was feeling pretty low and useless, convinced that he should just head back before he got himself killed. luckily for him, it was around this time that he met a ginger and white tabby that didn't seem scared of him, unlike most of the other domestic cats he'd met, they had growled menacingly at him and ran. this cat introduced herself as honeyheart, one of the council members to a growing group of cats, and offered him shelter and rest. as this was the first friendly face he'd met for a while, he accepted quickly. his night there was the first time he'd spent not having to be half awake the whole night.
yet he was still reluctant to spend much time there, distrustful of these cats: the rouge group was new to him and it took a while for him to adjust to their ways, he's still not completely sure on how other cats operate. it was honeyheart who won him over in the end, finally convincing him that he would be safer in a group, that they all protected each other and that he was welcome. of course he accepted, relieved to have found a home that was tolerable. it was still difficult: food was unpredictable and animal control officers were still a threat whenever he was seen in daylight but he was happy.
