Ralkan said:
Name: Ralkan
Species: American Lion/Sabre
Age: 5
Mother: Raeatha (lion - deceased)
Father: Kurlan (sabre - deceased)
Height: 5.0ft
Weight: 550lbs
Voice: A calm, commanding basso profundo (like Mufasa but not quite XD).
Pride: Stoneclaw
Rank: Warrior
Appearance: Definitely large for a sabre, but not particularly so for a male lion, he seems to have inherited the best of both worlds in the way of looks. Muscles come from both sides, a handsome mane and tufted tail come from his lioness mother, and a pair of somewhat elongated teeth come from his sabre father... though his teeth are only about half the length of a fullblooded sabre. Striking markings of red, white, and brown are a blend of both parents, though his warm brown eyes are his mother's alone.
Personality: Strong-willed and fierce when need be, Ralkan has great leadership potential when matching his brains with his brawn. He is, for the most part, even tempered, but he is very stubborn and has a very clear idea of what he expects out of life. Not one to openly show warmth to most, nor is he cold - perhaps more the embodiment of "tough love". Still, he is not without his moments of smiles and humor. He does tend to have a soft spot for the young, and will show a bit more of that inner warmth to them even if he hasn't met them before. The rest of the world has to earn his trust before it is shown.
History: Raised out in no-man's-land, this hybrid grew up hearing stories of the glory days of stoneclaw, when it was once a powerful and formidable pride. His father had wandered away from the pridelands some time ago due to wanderlust and a hunger for companionship. The sabre had not found any suitable mates in his homeland, but at last found love when he met the lioness Raeatha. It was she who gave Kurlan his name when he told her of the Stoneclaw naming traditions.
They broke with tradition when they had little Ralkan, however, the mother insisting he carry a piece of both their names with them always. Through his parents he learned to hunt and fight, and learned the wisdom of the world. At last as he got older and his parents succumbed to their own old age in the harsh wilderness, he began travelling to seek out this great and mighty Stoneclaw that had given him his father. This is where the real story begins...
