• MARTIAL ARTS —  "First rule of throwing a punch 101, don’t put your thumb inside your fist, you will have regrets."

DISLIKES:

• SLACKERS — “I recommend five cups of coffee and an energy drink, you are in dire need of them.”
  
• NIHILISM — “I don’t have time for your “life is meaningless” bullshit. By the way, in trying to spread your way of thinking, the message being that life has no purpose, you have given yourself a purpose. Enjoy that logic bomb.”

POSITIVE TRAITS: Dedicated, Self-reliant, Steadfast, Athletic, Courageous, Confident
NEUTRAL TRAITS: Ambitious, Determined, Earthy, Self-conscious
NEGATIVE TRAITS: Blunt, Sarcastic, Stubborn, Strong-willed, Tactless




From a young age, Raion has been a really Dedicated and Steadfast individual, his Ambitious behavior bordering to the point of being Stubborn when he didn’t put into practice the old saying that his Father always told him: “Discretion is the better part of valor.”. His Strong-willed conduct sometimes got him in trouble, especially when he went against his Father’s wishes.

It didn’t help that sometimes his Earthy attitude made it so that his mouth had almost no filter at all, and with his penchant for being quite Sarcastic, Blunt and a bit Tactless; the punishments he got were enough for him to get a reminder that he was still just a boy living under his Father's roof and he shouldn’t try to catch an attitude with him.

Who knew that getting hit with a fucking sandal would sting so much...

Looking up to his Father and wishing to be as strong as he was, Raion begged his ‘Hero’ to begin teaching him what he learned in his journey across the land. Raion’s Father, amused but serious at the same time took his son under his wing and in the years to come the once lanky and cheerful young feline grew into a proper man, with wide shoulders and a strong back to carry the burdens of the world.

His Father taught him how to be Self-reliant, so he wouldn’t be completely lost if he found himself lost and alone in the wilderness one day. As a result, the boy-turned-man developed an Athletic figure with the countless years of training behind his back. Though that wasn’t to say that it was all fun and games, in one of the training sessions with his Father, they were suddenly blindsided by an attacking animal, standing ten feet tall and looking like it hunting for blood.

His Father, with some effort, began to push the beast back, but that wasn’t before it scored a direct hit on his son’s chest and eye, as its predatory mind saw Raion as the easiest target and thusly the one it would attack first.

It also didn’t help that instead of running away and listening to his Father’s command, he instead wanted to stand his ground and face the beast, while showing a good side for his son’s Courageous and Confident look of himself, the tongue-lashing he received would have scarred any lesser being for years to come.

It was there and there that Raion began to get Self-conscious of himself and his progress under his Father’s care, a small sense of inadequacy growing inside of him, making him feel like a complete idiot as he stared at the healed scars on his chest and across his eye. But his Father was there to remind him that for as long as he stayed true to himself and acted with a clear head he shouldn’t let the past or his insecurities truly define him for what he really was.

So it was easy to understand the gap left in his heart when his Father passed away, the grizzly old veteran Lionman’s injuries from his years on the field having caught up with him, his old heart still strong in spirit but not enough to hold what was already losing strength as the years passed by.

That was a year ago, and now Raion was a man taking on the world all on his own, but as he stared down at the sheathed sword of his Father; the Otokodama, he couldn’t help but wonder a simple question.

“Am I truly ready?”











HEIGHT: 7” feet [2.13 m.]
WEIGHT: 270 lbs [122 kg.]
HAIR: White. ‘Silky’ looking, reaching to his neck and a bit over his shoulders.
EYES: Electric blue.
FUR TONE: Vivid yellow.




Raion's appearance is that of an anthropomorphic Lion, standing tall at 7 feet and weighing about 250 lbs, that weight is because of his burly muscular build than actual fat, which he has not much to speak of, thank you very much. His face is different from a normal human face, bearing more leonine qualities instead, an example being a short muzzle filled with razor sharp teeth, a charcoal black nose, whiskers and electric-blue eyes with slitted pupils. A long mane of white colored hair reaches around his neck area, falling down slightly across his shoulders if he leaves it to grow just a bit longer.

Most of his body is covered with a short layer of blond/tawny fur, the fur shining a vivid yellow when the light hits it just right. The fur helps to obscure his musculature a bit because of it, along with hiding a few scars on his body that he won throughout rigorous years of training his body with his Father’s tutelage, but it can’t do anything to hide the big pinkish right in the middle of his chest, a healed scar in the shape of an X that a rampaging Monster gave him when it got the drop on him and his Father many years ago.
