Name : Simba
Age : Adult
Gender : Male
Species : African Lion
Already a Pridelander? : Current rogue, soon-to-be Pridelander
Rank : Rightful king
History : Born to King Mufasa and Queen Sarabi of the Pridelands, Simba was a prince to be proud of. His parents love him dearly and instilled in him the values associated with the Circle of Life. His charmed life changed forever when his uncle, the dark lion Scar, plotted to kill both father and son in one carefully planned "accident" so that he might assume the throne.
After the dust had settled in the gorge, and the last wildebeest stampeded away, Simba was left alive, while his father was not so lucky. Mufasa died trying to save young Simba, who Scar then led to believe that he was responsible for the tragic death. Crushed, Simba fled the Pridelands, where he lived the life of a free lion with his new friends, Timon and Pumbaa. All the while, memories of his father haunted the growing lion, and guilt consumed him until the day he realized (with some help) that he couldn't run away from his past forever.
Personality : As a cub, Simba was always getting himself and his friends into trouble. He is very curious, and fancied himself to be a brave prince. He looked up to his father as a hero, and still has not recovered from that loss, or the idea that he caused his father's untimely death. When he left the Pridelands, he adopted a "Hakuna Matata" lifestyle -- That is, ignore your troubles in the hopes that somehow, that will make them disappear.
Now that he is maturing, Simba will become very protective of his family and his pride. He will remember all of the stories taught to him by his father and instill the same beliefs in his own future children. He must face his own future head-on, but with the help of his friends, he is not fearful of what is to come next.
Prominent Trait : He must take his place in the Circle of Life, and now must prove that he is the true king of the Pridelands.
Fears : Scar; Hyenas; Failing his father.
Goals : Become king; Start a family; Find inner peace.
Character Development : For now, he will be following the plot: Returning to the Pridelands to get rid of Scar, then taking Nala as his queen and starting a family, while still adjusting to his life back home.
Description : His pelt is golden brown, covering his strong physique. in spite of the fact he grew up on a steady diet of grubs and insects, he has managed to develop well-toned muscles. His fur color was inherited from his father. His eyes are a soft brown earthy shade, and his mane a deep auburn, flashing like a flame under the sun. His nose remains pink, even though he has now reached maturity. The dark ear rims he inherited from his mother seem to have faded over time.
Role-Play Sample: The night was still young, and the adult lion was restless as ever. The jungle had been a fine home for his adolescence, but now that his auburn mane had grown in, full and shaggy, Simba found it increasingly difficult to sit still. Timon and Pumbaa, his foster parents that he now towered over and protected, were fast asleep. The sound of the warthog's snoring were still too close, and Simba wandered further into the brush to get away from the comedic pair.
He often wandered alone at night, lost to his own thoughts. While he loved his care-free lifestyle, there was something lacking. It was something he couldn't quite put a name to, but every grown lion experienced the same. It often led males to abandon their natal prides in search for something different, for a chance to start a pride all their own, with lionesses that were theirs alone. Simba had not yet realized this was what he desired.
It should have been his fate all along, but it had all changed that fateful day in the gorge. Now he felt as lost as ever, and his brown eyes searched the night sky for a clue from his departed father. If only..., he thought to himself for the millionth time, a sad sigh escaped his lips as he padded onward, with no destination in sight.
