StormClan
A young Savannah Cat, mix between a domestic cat and a serval, almost leopard-like in appearance; will always be bigger than the average cat. He wears a red bandanna around his neck.
Axel's always been a fighter, independent. He was the first to wander away from the safety of his mother, and though he loved his litter-mates like any brother would, he was never really clingy of them, never uncomfortable or afraid of being separated from them. But that was when he knew they were always close by.
He's actually a very emotional cat, for someone so comfortable being on his own. He's not scared or timid, far from it in fact. But he gets upset easy, perhaps because he always tries to do everything on his own, he doesn't like to get others involved in his problems. He can find himself taking on more than he can handle without even trying. And he's actually rather sensitive.. maybe because he went from being the top cat among his litter-mates to lost and alone in the wild. He doesn't have anyone to fall back on anymore.
And more recently he's found he hates being fussed over, especially when the one doing it is blowing things way out of proportion. He just feels it's pointless, it won't help anything anyways. Why cry over something when you could be trying to make it better? And part of this is that he hates being the center of attention.
Surprisingly enough though, he didn't change all that much after the incident that made him a rogue. He'd had to fend for himself more, but he was used to it. The one big thing that changed, was a sudden obsession over the bandanna on his neck. He refuses to remove it, and would probably bite the cat's paw off that dared to try. He feels it's the only thing he has left of his family that he'd left behind. Though if asked, he'd probably just say he liked the look, which wouldn't necessarily be lying.

Axel lived with his mother, father, and siblings for a few months in a twoleg's home. But she was old... and only shortly after she died another twoleg abducted them, separating him from his parents and stuffing him into a carrier with his littermates. The twoleg was a breeder, the owner of a 'kitten-mill', and had eagerly been awaiting the woman's death so he could steal them, and make a quick buck. Axel managed to escape from the carrier in the car, which'd been on it's way to wherever this twoleg meant to sell him and his siblings, and then from the monster too, only through a stroke of luck. But he was the only one to make it that far, he doesn't know where his brothers and sisters are now.
Up until now Axel has been wandering, not quite sure what he's doing with his life, claiming he's older than he really is, with his size to back him up, to avoid pity and sympathy. At least as much as he would get if he were thought to be younger. Axel was lucky to miss the reign of the kingdom and all the death and blood that came along with it, only coming along near that particular territory shortly after the clans took over once more. But they haven't yet washed away the stench of fear and death, so the young tom's been hesitant to approach beyond the borders. Any other time he would've passed by what seems like a hostile territory, but it's peaked his interest. Plus the fact he's been traveling for over a moon, and could very much use a rest. So he's more or less been circling the borders in hopes of finding a single cat, if only to satisfy his questions, confident that he can fend off just one if things go south.
