Name: Taro
Species: Lion
Gender: Male
Age: Young Adult; may change according to roleplay
General Appearance:
-Body shape: Muscular and very large; toned
-Main color: Buttery golden
-Accent colors: A lighter gold color on his belly, with a chocolate brown muzzle and paws. His eyes are underlined by the dark chocolate color while a light gold colors the spot above his eyes.
-Mane/tail: Black
-Eyes: Emerald green
-Paw pads: Dusky pink
-Nose: ‘Pridelander’ shaped and dusky pink in color
-Other:
Note: This picture is of Taro as a cub and not an adult, but I always like to include a visual if I can because it makes it easier to put together in your head. Also made in a doll maker because I am lazy >_>
Distinguishing Marks: Instead of having a light colored muzzle and paws, his are instead darker than the rest of his coat as a chocolate brown.
Personality: Taro is very social and amiable, but in a quiet sort of way. He has the nature of a gentle giant, choosing not to use his size against others and instead to show kindness. He is extremely protective, and, at rare times, possessive of those he loves. If they become threatened, Taro can become a savage beast.
All of these traits make him a wonderful leader and protector in general, though his rare flashes of violence have grave effects on his conscience and psyche afterwards.
His self-confidence is somewhat unstable, and if someone close to him were to say something mean to him or make him feel unwanted, it would take a very long time for him to recover.
Abilities/Skills: Extremely strong and physically able. Taro can overpower nearly any lion he meets in single combat, though taking them on in numbers is difficult.
Strengths: His strength and compassion for others. These make him a wonderful candidate as a mate, friend, or leader.
Weaknesses: His weakness comes from his compassion and protectiveness for others. He would give anything for those he loves, even if it means doing something terrible to make sure they are safe or happy. Also, even as a big, strong, lion, he could easily get roped into an abusive relationship emotionally. Blackmail and guilt tripping work very well on Taro, so this can make him easy to manipulate.
History: Taro’s history is not very exciting, having been born and raised in the Pridelands. His mother taught him empathy and compassion at an early age in cubhood. A lot of his traits also come from the fact that he’d been rather small as a cub compared to the other males, and was often picked on. However, even as a tiny cub, he faced up to those who bullied other cubs bravely. One of these was Shyla, who had been trying to fight off a group of troublemakers by herself. Taro leapt in and helped her, chasing them off.
She and Taro became fast friends, each the opposite of the other. Taro tempered Shyla’s sassy attitude with his own unassuming one, and they were inseperable. Then, as an adolescent, Taro grew to an enormous size. He even outgrew his father, a member of a distant pride who came in for visits every once in a while.
Taro has been on his own for a while now, seeking to start a pride of his own and become a king. His best friend Shyla is often seen by his side, and they plan to become mates when they find a place to start a pride.
