CHARACTER STUDY: GORDON (updated 11/13/18)

Full Name: Gordon Cipher
Age: 2 years
Death: n/a
Background: Gordon was born to Caesar Cipher along with her twin brother, Billiam, in The Typhoon. Their mother was killed soon after they were weaned and open their eyes, and Caesar refused to talk about her, and therefore, they never met their mother. Which left Caesar as their only parent, and he raised them by himself. However, despite him being their father, he constantly belittled and yelled at them, bossing them around. He called them many names and eventually started to lash out at them as they got older. Eventually, one night when Gordon and Billiam were trying to escape, Caesar caught them and attacked them both, leaving them both scarred. Gordon ended up with a scar on her stomach, and her brother ended up with a scar on his lip. Caesar then locked them in their rooms, only occasionally allowing an NPC to visit and tend to their wounds.

A couple weeks went by and eventually Gordon and Billiam were well enough to move on their own and once again attempted to escape Caesar, though this time they enlisted the help of the NPC that took care of them while they were healing. Gordon and Billiam ran, although once again Caesar caught them, but they split up in order to disorient them. Gordon headed towards a group named The Ascendants, although she had no idea where Billiam went off to.

On May 29, 2018, Gordon joined The Ascendants and soon received her pendant on June 3, 2018, which is a customary tradition that The Ascendants have. Billiam joined soon after on June 5, 2018, using their mental bond to locate where Gordon was. Gordon temporarily disappeared, though she returned to activity on June 19, 2018. On July 2, 2018, Gordon was promoted to Starstruck Guardian. On July 15, 2018, she stepped down from the position OOCly.

On an unknown date, Gordon left The Ascendants and joined Sunhaven on August 12, 2018. On August 15, 2018, she joined the Art Guild, automatically gaining the title of Impressionist in doing so. On August 19, 2018, she was promoted to Hearthkeeper. On August 26, 2018, she was promoted to Dawnguard. On September 22, 2018, she was promoted to Goldenblood.

On October 4, 2018, Gordon saw ghosts for the first time. On October 25, 2018, she had a panic attack over seeing Vigenere for the first time, thinking he is her father.

On November 11, 2018, Sunhaven was caught in a flash flood, where Gordon drowned and blacked out.

This will be updated as events happen.

Home: The Typhoon had been where Gordon was born, and they live on an island known as Paradise Island. The island holds a tropical rainforest jungle as well as an active volcano. There are many other islands in The Typhoon's territory, and you can see each one detailed here.

Currently, Gordon lives in The Ascendants. Their territory consists mostly of plains and grasslands, and their camp has an old Observatory and Bunker. You can see their territory explained more in detail here.

Weather: Gordon's favorite season is spring and her favorite weather is any time the sky is clear with a light breeze. She likes the flowers that bloom in spring and enjoys the rain (although harsh storms scare her). Her least favorite season is winter and her least favorite weather is winter.

Physical: Gordon is a small and short-legged golden she-cat with a black stripe going down her back. she has green eyes and wears a red flower, which is pinned to her left ear. there is a long, curving scar that goes from her stomach to her side. She wears a red flower on her left ear.

Weapons: Gordon doesn't own or use weapons, since she is a peacekeeper and prefers not to fight.

Reactions: Below are ways Gordon acts a certain way whenever she feels a certain emotion. Her emotions are hard to change, and she is commonly very shy and nervous around others.
Anger - Gordon is extremely hard to anger, though one way to tell if she's angry is by the way she glares at somebody and tries to look threatening, despite her size.
Scared - Gordon is very easily scared, and she jumps whenever she is spooked. Her fur puffs out as much as it can, and her eyes get wide and her pupils dilate.
Stressed - Gordon gets stressed very easily, and she usually tries to go find Billiam and talk to him, or talk to another trusted member of The Ascendants.
Rejected - Gordon has never been rejected, although if she ever was, she will probably go off to her room and cry and try to find comfort in Billiam or another trusted member of The Ascendants.
Happy - Gordon is almost always happy, despite her looks. One way to tell how happy she is is by the way her eyes light up and her tail sticks straight up, as well as her ears being pricked.
Hurt/Sad - Just like as if she was rejected, Gordon will hide in her room and cry, trying to find comfort in Billiam or a trusted groupmate.
Confused - Gordon tilts her head when confused and her ears are pricked. Her tail flicks back and forth as well.

Motives: Gordon doesn't really have a motive in life other than to be with her brother, Billiam, at all times and protect and comfort him whenever he feels unsafe or afraid. She is quite happy with her life, and she doesn't want to see herself rise in the ranks (although she won't deny a promotion).

Failure and Success: Gordon considers her biggest success finding Billiam. She briefly lost him whenever she went to join The Ascendants, but they soon found each other. However, she feels that her biggest failures are whenever she looses him and she isn't able to comfort him (or anybody else, for that matter). Gordon doesn't really compare her successes to anybody else, as she is quite happy where she is.

Mood: Gordon is almost always in a happy mood, although her outward appearance may give her the look of being shy and nervous. Her nerves do get the best of her at times, though she is very happy with her life in The Ascendants. She heavily relies on others' emotions for her to react with her own, and she is very reactionary. Gordon isn't quick to anger (she actually might run away if she feels too threatened or afraid), and even if she becomes angry, it will be pretty easy to calm her down.

Opinion: Gordon has a mixed opinion on love. She wants to be in love and find somebody who will love her but she can't help but feel worried that they might leave her or treat her harshly, or judge her for her past and who she is as a person. She hopes that if she does find a partner, that they will respect her wishes on not wanting to engage in a sexual relationship.
Gordon is highly against war and torture, as she is a major pacifist. She will firm and strict on her believes and will even try to stop tortures as they happen if she has to. She believes that war is only shedding useless blood and that both sides are right and should stop and come up with a compromise.
Gordon doesn't really mind powers, as she has a couple of her own, although she prefers not to use them very much. She is wary of others that use them, but she won't judge them for it.
As for religion, Gordon isn't religious but she respects others for their beliefs.

Religion: Gordon isn't religious and is an atheist, although she respects others' religions, even if she doesn't quite understand them. The Ascendants doesn't have a religion, though they do honor their former leaders and members during their funerals in what could be considered a religious funeral.

Magic/Powers: Gordon likes powers, though she is slightly wary of them when they aren't used by her or Billiam. She doesn't use powers a lot, as she is a pacifist and prefers not to fight. Gordon's only powers at this moment are reincarnation and having a mental bond with her brother, as well as Clairvoyance.

Perception: Gordon's outlook on life is very positive and she enjoys life, despite how nervous and anxious she is. She believes that everybody is a good person at heart, even if they have ill intentions. She is a firm believer of peace and being a pacifist and hates tortures and murders, going as far as to stop tortures if she has to.

First Impressions: A lot of peoples' first impressions of Gordon is how shy she is, mostly because of the way she carries herself. She is usually looking at her paws and only looks up briefly to see who she is talking to right before her gaze goes back to her paws. But once somebody gets to know her, she is a very sweet and loving and caring person, and will do anything to help her groupmates. Gordon is a bit wary of newcomers and she often hides behind some of her closest groupmates until she becomes comfortable enough with newcomers.
