Alrighty now onto the good stuff!
Name: Rio
Species: Lion
Gender: Male
Pride: Rouge
Personality/History: I'm still working out his personality... here's what I have so far. Anti-social, brooding, highly emotional but he never shows them. Basically he has a very constant battle with himself. He was taught to be strong, brave, brutal and indifferent. But on the inside he feels he's a tortured soul, he feels his heart is always fighting to shine but is stifled by his mind. Anti-social would be an understatement, he's basically a recluse. He would only socialize with fellow creatures if he was spoken to first and depending on the situation he would either give a curt short reply or a long quickly spoken nervous pretty incoherent rant. Taught the ways of the world by his father Zito. His father had a warped sense of reality and although when Rio got older he could sense this, as a cub he hung on every word his father ever spoke. As Rio grew older he began to resent his father for keeping him hidden away from the world and pressuring him to be perfect. About the time Rio was a young adolescent he attacked his father for attempting to kill a rat that had found it's way into their den. For an unknown reason this angered Rio to no extent I guess you could say he just "snapped", and he went straight for his fathers throat. Zito being thrown back by his son's sudden attack fell backwards when his son landed on him and hit his head on a rock. He was knocked unconscious, and Rio escaped... trailed by a grateful little rat named Wesley. But maybe you'll meet him another time. Uh what else... oh! When Rio was a cub his father gave him a swift blow to the face leaving him with a little scar on the bridge of his nose. So let's see, in short Rio he's contradictory, sheltered which makes him a little naive, yet extremely untrusting, sensitive though he would never show such "weakness". I don't know how else to describe him really, hopefully though you can get a general idea of the kind of personality he has from his story and whatnot.
Description: Hmm, muscular build think somewhere between Kovu and Simba. Mane is scruffy, like the rest of him.
I'll draw a ref sheet for him soon... for now all I have is his colors:
:Main Body
:Secondary- underbelly, under eyes, muzzle, inside ears and one toe marking that is on his right front paw and only on one toe.
:Above Eyes and Ear Rims
:Mane, Eyebrows and Tail Tip
:Eyeballs
:Irises
:Irises, speckled throughout.
:Nose
:Rise
:ScarOther: Hmm I dunno... oh! Has never been in love, probably never will be... I don't know I can't decide, we'll see.
Picture: I'll have his full reference sheet done soon but for now all I have is a sketch of him as a cub but you can get the general idea of his design I guess.
RP History: None Yet.
Oof! I think this is the longest post I've ever written! Lol anyway I hope you guys can understand my rambling and I'm sorry for the novel post. Keep in mind I'm still working on his story and whatnot.
I hope you like him!
