NAME: Caliber (Gladys)
AGE: 2½ Years
GENDER: Male
PRIDE: Rogue
RANK: N/A
PERSONALITY: Caliber is what you may call a lionized Simon Cowell. He is extremely blunt, and takes great pleasure in speaking his mind, no matter how rude or hostile the comment may be. Poking fun at someone is something that Caliber considers a past time, although many fail to see the enjoyment in his uncanny sense of humor. That being said, Caliber knows his place in society, but often his mouth gets him into trouble. Once convicted, he may groan and grumble about punishment, but will eventually surrender to the order of a dominant rank. Of course, he may mouth off a few disgracing comments about the individual, but knows well enough to refrain from getting physical.
Functioning as a part of a pride is something that Caliber tends to dislike. He doesn’t particularly admire the dominant structure of pride, unless of course he is the one throwing around orders. Caliber is quite independent by nature, and thus may be hostile to someone who tries to negatively control his actions. For the most part, Caliber will follow instructions without a fuss, unless, of course, he is ordered to engage himself in something he does not want to do. In that case, he wouldn’t go as far as resorting to violence, but may try to bite back at the individual with a not-so-friendly choice of words.
But just like any living creature, Caliber does have a softer side. Although generally picky about choosing friends, Caliber enjoys the company of a trusted few. It usually takes some time and patience, but becoming this lion's companion is always worth it. Trust and loyalty are two aspects that Caliber handles quite well. One who demonstrates respect and reliability can expect to receive the same in return. Most certainly, Caliber would freely sacrifice himself for a loved one, even if it requires laying down his own life to do so.
PROS:
x Charming
x Tactical
x Independent
CONS:
x Extremely blunt
x Somewhat lazy
x Tends to disregard the chain of command
LIKES:
x Rogue lifestyle
x Sparring
x Rolling in mud
DISLIKES:
x Authority
x Arrogant males
x Hot and blazing afternoons
APPEARANCE: Growing up is something that Caliber has adapted well to, well at least in regards the physical aspect, anyway. His personality could use some tweaking in order to satisfy the requirements of a perfect gentleman, but otherwise, he is quite the handsome young male. In terms of skeletal structure, Caliber could be considered quite hefty in size. He is not overly large, but may seem quite intimidating to a younger generation. An appropriate combination of toned muscle contributes to his bulky figure, and clearly denotes that he is active in physical movement.
The lion's pelt is equally spectacular. A natural blend of earthy shades and tones make up Caliber's unique pelt design. Generally, a deeper brown fades from his back as it reaches the underbelly, where the hue is defined as a creamy white. A few faded spots and broken stripes dominate his hide, indicating his youth, and progression into adulthood. The facial features are crisp and unmarked by any scars or blemishes aside from a few scrapes inflicted atop the muzzle. The same tawny hue is defined in the fur, but fades to a deeper brown upon the bridge of his nose. Just like the underbelly, Caliber's chin is a crisp white, and the hue stretches into his cheeks, and also colors his toes.
Perhaps the most well-known aspect of any male lion is the almighty mane. Still entering adulthood, it is understandable that Caliber's mane is significantly smaller than that of an older male. For the most part however, the hair has grown thick enough to completely cover most of the vital areas. It is a messy sort of design, Caliber finds it to contribute to his good-looks rather than promote ugliness. Unfortunately for him, the mane will lose most of the messy appeal as it grows, but may still appeal to the ladies. The mane is an interesting combination of soft gold and brown. Generally, the hair is considered to be lighter nearing the top of the skull, rather than the area around the chest. As Caliber matures, the mane will gradually darken and be found to form a greater contrast with the lighter coloring of his entire body.
So, from a physical perspective, Caliber isn't entirely too disgraceful. A considerable combination of size and color mix well to appeal to the public eye, and it is almost too bad that he doesn't have a nice personality to go with it. Such a shame...
EYE COLOR: Mustard yellow
COAT COLOR: Medium tawny
DISTINGUISHING ASPECTS: Walks with a slight limp after being assaulted by his brother, Montgomery.
PHYSIQUE: Above average in size, fairly muscular build.
BRIEF HISTORY: Caliber was born on a muggy afternoon during the dry season. His mother, a simple lioness of the Keitamu Pride had bred with the dominant male in an attempt to raise the pride's staggering numbers. During cubhood, Caliber followed in the footsteps of his older brother, Montgomery, a lion who dreamed to take command of the pride. Montgomery showed little interest in his new brother, having nearly reached adulthood, he tended to focus upon other things.
One rainy evening, Montgomery challenged the King for leadership. Caliber had just entered adolescence, and stood at watch on the sidelines. His body tingled with excitement as he watched his brother spar. The battle was over quickly, and Montgomery had chased the King from the ranks. Caliber was saddened to see his father leave, but was filled with new-found pride as his brother took command.
The next morning, Caliber's life was turned upside down. Montgomery declared Caliber's exile, and the young male was immediately chased from the ranks. This would be the first time Caliber faced the life of a rogue.
