Profile


Klaus Choir | 34 | he/him

A big goofball (from his perspective at least, other people tend to see him as more sinister than silly). Has like 1000 ugly xmas sweaters, hes always wearing one in his human/anthro form. Has even made a few for his full monster-sized form. A lot of his collection (but not all) was created by himself, the rest he got through trading/payment. His sweaters are are actually kinda popular amongst an incredibly niche market, hes rumored to prioritize orders paid for with cccat eyes above all others (spoiler: its true).

Also a big collector of dead cccat eyes, is known to fixate on cccats with particularly unique eyes and keep tabs on their whereabouts so he can quickly snag their eye should they pass away. May or may not work out deals with cannibalistic cccats where he'll use his hive connections to find vulnerable cccats that might make good prey and in return the cannibal will give him the leftover eye. Klaus and his sister*, Winter, both have intense drives to gather and hoard particular objects. For Klaus its cccat eyes (due to a subconscious association between them and ornaments) and holiday memorabilia, for Winter its antlers. This behavior is one subconsciously leftover from their shared host that had been a creature with a propensity for hoarding food. 

*Klaus and Winter share a unique connection due to forming at the same time from the same host and with the same inspiration source, they later adopted the familial terms 'brother/sister/sibling/twin' as they both felt they described this connection rather accurately.

design notes:

-known to keep preserved cccat eyes in his fur, these are optional to draw and variable in their design and amount. he prefers to display his rare-touched eyes on his body rather than his tail, the eyes kept on his tail are strictly in the common-uncommon range (cccat eye trait list for reference: https://skire.club/General/Traits#CCCat-Eyes) (obvs these rarity labels are quite a bit more nebulous in canon, he personally refers to the most unusual ones [UA~T] as 'unique', very rare ones as 'rarities' [T~M], and the less rare as 'collectible' [R~UC/C]. he has just one unique eye and it is his absolute most prized posssession.

fur can be drawn light and poofy or draped and silky, length can also vary some but it's always at least medium length

-14 spikes on back in two rows of seven, 19 on tail with the first six being in two rows of three that follow from the ones on his back and get closer together the further down they get leading into a singular row of 13 spikes directly down the middle. 8 spikes on head set in two rows of four, along with four spikes on each ear [can be simplified for physical/3D works, min number of back spikes is 8, tail spikes 11, head spikes 4, ears spikes 3] (GONNA REWORK THIS DESCRIPTION BC EVEN MY TIRED ASS CAN TELL THIS IS BORDERLINE INCOMPREHENSIBLE 😭, mostly just wanted to get the numbers recorded adfssdsd)

-the sizes depicted in the size chart ref is his canonically accurate height, aka what's to be used within skire prompts and events. However, in my own personal headcanon cccats have a significantly wider range of sizes they can shift to normally. Specifically with Klaus I picture him as being able to shrink from his default size (8'6") all the way down to 4'9", still technically limited but much less so.

-usually keeps his tail coiled (horizontally or vertically) for ease of navigation. is a lot looser with it when he's settled somewhere, tho its also a great directional aid in crowded spaces like forest since he can hold it straight up over the treetops and get a very good feel of the surrounding area.
