Note: Some slots here are variable because I want to re-use the names of some of my characters in different RPs. I have trouble coming up with new names and epiphanies don't come every few minutes...
Name: Kanuk (pronounced kah-nouk)
Species: Pure-blooded Barbary Lion
Age: Variable
Gender: Male
Physical Appearance: Kanuk is a very large lion with a muscular pridelander build. There is a scar on his front right leg from when he learned as cub that his claws could hurt him and three others from claws on his left shoulder. None of them very visible. His mane is light brown but often appears darker because he forgets to clean it at times. (I'm more of a visual so here's the RGB colour palette for pelt R:255 G:194 B:9; clean mane R:171 G:110 B:5; dirty mane R:129 G:80 B:9; muzzle R:249 G:229 B: 97; Eye colour R:40 G:206 B:2; Nose is black and outlander style)
Behaviour: Not nearly impulsive enough in everyday situations, hesitant and scared to fight another being outside of the hunt, Kanuk is very reserved and gets blamed for not talking about things other's could help him with. The only other being he can rely on from his experience is his friend and mate Lilith and only talks to her, even more since the loss of their cub to a hyena attack. When the heat of the sun isn't crushing Kanuk, he likes to babysit (more like play with) the other's cubs who view him as the awesome uncle that always has a story to tell.
History: (variable)
Short version: Kanuk is the fourth prince of a pride. He spent most his time playing around with his friend Nora and sometimes, his siblings. At adolescence, he started a conflict between him and his family and got banished. After living as a Rogue for a while, he meets a beautiful lioness, Lilith. She brings him back to her pride and he joins to live with them. And Lilith becomes his mate they have a cub but he dies in a hyena attack.
Long Version: Born in a fair pride as a fourth prince, Kanuk lived a rather normal life, not being taught the ropes of being a king because he was so far back in the line of succession tough never taking interest either. All went smoothly playing in the brush with his friend Nora and occasionally his siblings but most importantly his oldest brother who was a role model to him. Until adolescence... Getting only occasional attention from his mother and even less from his father, Kanuk was sick with being considered second rate. going to talk in private with his parents about it, an argument ensued with both his parents saying they only had time for his oldest brother and sister who were already young adults and destined to royalty. Having growled an insult towards both his parents and family, the old lion's rage got a swipe of his paw to find it's way to Kanuk's shoulder. The punishement was banishement. Tough none understood why, Kanuk was to be gone at dawn, giving him time to say good bye to his friend Nora and a recent brother that Kanuk was held in high esteem by.
Living life as a Rogue was hard for Kanuk. It wasn't a start from scratch however. He could hunt small prey. Mere snacks for a pride but an entire meal for him. Eventually, gazelle was added to the menu being able to practice his hunting skills and learning quickly from his mistakes. After a few months of living on his own and getting used to it, he targeted the same prey as a beautiful lionness on her first hunt. During the chase, they ran right into each other, losing the targeted animal. When the dust settled and they both got up, getting ready their angry looks to unleash their rage at whoever made them mess up, they stopped and their jaws dropped. Muzzles a mere few centimeters from each other, neither said a word. With Kanuk suprised at the beauty of the lioness he was facing and the mysterious lioness in awe of the handsome lion in front of her. The lioness was the first to break visual contact and talk, yet visibly still in shock.
''I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I mean, that...''
''No, I should be, I ran into you, er...'' Kanuk replied, not knowing what else to say to whoever was in front of him.
''That's fine, I, well, I guess we both ran in each other, right? Anyhow, I have to, go, go somewhere...'' dismissed the lioness
They both started walking their own way when something unsurmountable forced them to turn around.
'' My name is'' they both said in unison. And they both chuckled.
'' I'm Kanuk'' said the lion with a warm smile.
''And me Lilith'' she answered returning returning his smile. ''You know many rogues like you are looking for a pride. I think my father may like you. If you are lucky, he may even offer you to join us.'' An offer he could not turn down. Being a rogue could only bring Kanuk so far to survive and quite frankly, he now wanted to stay with Lilith. so he followed her...
Note: Kanuk is the last of a long line of wild Barbary lions, the last of his species either in zoos or hunted to extinction. Unknown to him, Kanuk is among the rarest lions in Africa.
(He does join the pride after and becomes mates with Lilith, I just didn't write about because the creative juices just weren't flowing anymore...)
