Name: Keiten
Nickname: Kei
Age: 2 to 3 years in lion years.
Gender: Male
Species: African Lion
Position: Neutral
Powers: Keiten doesn't really have any sort of special abilities, since he's only a teenage lion, but he does know how to fight fairly well, but he's no expert or anything. While he may be a bit weak on power, he does have speed on his side, and he likes to make use of it in battle.
Weapon:Keiten himself is the only weapon he really needs, though his fangs and claws aren't as sharp as a full grown lion's, they are still useful to him.
Picture:
Appearance: Keiten is a young adolescent lion with light colored fur on him. The fur that covers his body is mostly a beige color, probably due to his family having beige colored fur most of the time with each generation, and the fur that covers his underbelly, under his muzzle, and his toes is a cream color. His mane, which is slowly starting to show right above his head is a soft brown color and a bit messy looking, his eyes are a dark chocolate brown, making him look a bit sweet on the eyes. His fur is a possible outcome due to his family being from raised in a dusty area and as a result of inheritance of the genes. He stands just a little bit above average age for a teenage lion, and his weight is just about average weight, so he's not really skinny looking, in fact, he's starting to gain more muscle on him after practicing how to hunt and fight on his own. Right now he has a slight muscular build on him, though he tends to change that as he grows.
Personality: Keiten is a bit of a shy boy, not really wanting to get into large groups but will gladly settle for being around a handful of others. Mostly like one to three other lions really. He used to be more open and friendly, which his still is, only on a more closed about it, but ever since his parents died he's been thrust into a sort of shell for himself.
While he wants to help others and such, he has a small bit of trouble trying to trust new people. It's not because he's antisocial or anything, he just doesn't really want to make an enemy, and he believes that it can be easy to make one with someone you just met. He only acts like this because of the events from his past, but with a bit of work, he knows he can overcome this.
Other than being a shy little kitty, Keiten is a very polite boy, and he's willing to help out those he knows he can trust with his very being. While also being polite, he is also very mannered and tries to act mature since he had to raise himself after the death of his parents.
Original World: Pridelands
Current World: Pridelands
History: Keiten wasn't really born in the Pridelands, more like he was born in a land farther away from the Pridelands, he was born to a family of rouge lions, which was comprised of his mother Synth, his father Reneil, and his young uncle Reiz and aunt Merien, both were just turning into adolescent lions at the time, since Keiten was still a young cub. Together they live the life of a rouge group of lions, and Keiten never asked why they lived such a life. However that changed when he was out playing with his aunt and uncle.
While playing with them the three were approached by a strange lioness who seemed to know Keiten's aunt and uncle. In fact, the lioness even asked about his parents, which really confused the young lion. Then the lioness attacked the trio, and managed to kill his aunt and uncle who tried to protect him from her. As he watched his relatives be murdered his parents came and managed to drive away the lioness. After mourning the loss of his favorite and only relatives, he asked his parents why that strange lioness attacked them, then his parents told him the truth.
That lioness had been part of his father's old pride, in fact, she was his father's first love before his meeting Keiten's mother, her name was Vevi. One day she and a few other lions from the pride performed a coup and began to slaughter his father's pride. His father and his aunt and uncle were the only survivors, though they knew that Vevi and her group would be back to kill them, so they left. Then after a while his father met his mother and then Keiten was born. However, now that Vevi knew where they lived, it was only a matter of time before she came back to finish what she had started, so Keiten and his parents were now on the run.
Then that fateful day came, when he and his parents were attacked by Vevi. During the fight, Keiten managed to keep himself hidden away while his parents fought till their last breath, luckily he was spared because of hiding, but he was soon left all alone as his parents fell. Once the murder of his parents was done, he walked out of his hiding spot and found their dead bodies, the loss was too great for him and he ran away from the sight, too depressed to even look at them. Unknowingly running right into the Pridelands where he managed to live on his own.
However things weren't really going well, and he soon found himself nearing the verge of death. When he was out trying to find food, he began feeling weak, he hadn't had a meal in days, and starvation was slowly taking it's toll on the poor adolescent, then he collapsed. When he woke up, he found himself surrounded by other lioness that he had never seen before. Once he saw them, he was nearly scared half to death, but they soon explained to him that they had found him unconscious while they were hunting and decided to bring him back to Priderock.
After learning a bit more about the Pridelanders, Keiten decided to make them his new family, since he didn't really have anywhere else to go. So he managed to settle in and greatly admired them for their kindness, and hoped that he could one day repay them for what they have done for him.
