Appearance

Body and Facial Features

Solomon's primary color is a brick red. Most of his body, with the exception of some fur on his chest, is this color. Any fur not that color is a solid black. He is tall for a Mobian, standing four feet tall. Because of his exercising habits, which involves a daily rooftop jog mixed with parkour, he is fit and rather skinny. Another feature worth mentioning is his tail, which is half the size of most other cats, which is a common feature in bobcats.

Solomon has a tan muzzle with thick whiskers. His eyes are a grey/green with some blue, Almost like the ocean.His brick red fur covers his face. Like the common bobcat, he has fur coming off the sides of his head. A black streak of fur goes from between his pointy ears and down the back of his neck between the shoulders. This is supposedly the mark of a warrior from the tribe Solomon came from.

Clothing

Solomon is almost always seen wearing a black long sleeved fleece jacket with the collar popped up and a red segment going down each arm. his undershirt is a simple white T-Shirt. His pants are dark blue jeans with the colors fading at the knees. His footwear consists of two brown combat boots, which he has worn since his service in the war. One thing that stands out is a necklace holding a silver medallion with the shape of a fierce bobcat head chiseled into it.

Personality

He is dedicated to the defense of his homeland, even if most of the populace hates his kind. His main goal in life is to see that his home is free of any hatred towards his people by unconditionally coming to the aid of the inhabitants. His calmness and restrain make him the polar opposite of his best friend, Jason, who wants the humans to pay for making him a pariah. Some say his silence is with reason, as it seems Solomon holds a great weight upon his shoulders.

Solomon desires to find peace without the need for bloodshed. Despite his claws and grapple hooks, he never goes for the kill. The only time he has killed intelligent beings was when he and several others fought intelligent dinosaurs while trapped on an island. The main reason he doesnt want to shed blood is because he feels it will set him on a path his father tried to force Solomon onto. The last thing Solomon wants is to become his father, a monster in Mobian form.

Even though he is unwanted by a large sum of humans on Saari, Solomon loves talking to others, and others like talking to him. He's the guy walking on the street who will pay heed and aknowledge the existence of everyone he passes by. No one feels unwelcome when Solomon is around. When it comes to people he has befriended, he feels like it is his service to guard them and keep them safe from harm. For some, Solomon appears to be the clingy type because of this.

Solomon is not the pinnacle of Mobian-kind, though. He has lost his temper several times, usually in the presence of an evil creature content with its wrongdoings, or if he feels he has failed in some way. One example of the latter is when he tried flirting with a girl and ended up making himself look the fool. He walked off and punched a full grown tree until it fell over.

History

Solomon was born on an island far away from the rest of Mobius, where humans treat the intelligent animals of Mobius like trash. He lived in a secluded village far away from the main city and was raised by a loving mother and an overbearing father, who wanted to train Solomon to become the greatest killing machine of his kind. When Solomon failed to deliver, his father cast him out to die in the slums of the city. When he went back to confront his father, the village was being burned to the ground by his own father, who went on a rampage after he exiled his son. This fired claimed Solomon's mother and the rest of the village. Solomon, fuelled by anger and his father's aggressive teachings, he beat his father within an inch of his life and left him to burn. 

He was lost. Solomon felt that he had no where else to go except the military life. At the young age of 14, he faked his age (he was tall enough already to pass as an adult) and joined a group of Mobians dedicated to bringing down human rule. Solomon kept quiet about it, but he saw no difference in this faction and the humans. Two years later, in his first and last battle, he found a wounded human, who did not show any hatred for Solomon or the Mobians. He and the human hid in a cave for days, telling each other stories about how they got into the military life. Solomon related to the human. He also had an overbearing father who forced him into the military. When they were found, it was by a human scouting party. Solomon knew then that the rest of the Mobian army was gone, either dead or captured. He surrendered, only to find out that the soldier he hid with was a high ranking officer. The officer pardoned Solomon and offered him a home in the city, an apartment where other Mobians lived. Solomon agreed and adapted to the city life. The apartments is where he met his best friend, Jason The Echidna. They immediately became good friends, mainly due to the fact they shared a room. Solomon did odd jobs while Jason worked taking out garbage and doing other shady business. That was when Solomon encountered Doctor Tangent. Tangent waged a personal war on the city with an army of robots, but the attacks were small and not commonplace enough for military action. The mayor of the city, the very same officer Solomon rescued, gave Solomon the job of dealing with the Doctor's scattered factories. Solomon accepted the job without question.

Other than protecting the city, Solomon got another reason to continue his "work" when Jason was arrested for assaulting a human after being the recipient of a racial slur. When Jason was put under house arrest, the mayor promised to release him after Solomon has dealt with Doctor Tangent. Solomon still fights Tangent, and Tangent recognizes Solomon as his nemesis. They stop at nothing to find who is the other's better. Around this time, Solomon decided to tinker with some of the garbage Jason brought home, even making twin grapple hook that can be shot out of his sleeves, amplifying his agility.
