quick description - at a glance, tamaske is a large gray and black male with scars peppering his body.
full description - tamaske reaches every threshold of male lions in height, length, and weight. his body, though, is muscular and somewhat lithe, making it appear as though he would not be as strong as he truly is. his legs are powerful, and combined with the litheness, enable him to run at a faster speed and longer distances than most male lions. his head is broad, but not as broad as most. however, it is perfectly proportionate to his body.
the male's pelt is gray in hue, and his mane and underbelly, as well as the tuft of fur on the end of his tail are all black. his body is covered in numerous scars, but the most noticeable being a scar across his right eye that gives him a very similar appearance to that of the late scar. the scars on his body are a testament to the many fights he has been involved in in his short life span.
personality - tamaske is a rather crafty beast. he's a smooth talker extraordinaire and has the amazing ability to get himself out of any troubling situation he may find himself in. though he has this ability, he hardly uses it to get out of trouble, but instead uses it to smooth talk lionesses. call him charming, if you will. however, that charm wears off once the large male is angered. it's best to say he is rather quick and nastily tempered and would rather fight it out than sit about and talk about a problem. though he may have scars, he has never lost a fight he has been in. this brute is also very well versed in holding a grudge. he is not known to easily forgive anyone who wrongs him.
one of the male's better traits, though, is his fierce loyalty to the badlands pride as well as the ones he cares about. this makes him a rather good ally to have. when it comes to cubs, the large brute knows gentleness is required and he exercises this awareness with the greatest of care.
the mental fortitude of the large brute can sometimes be called into question. there are occasional times when he can be seen talking to himself. however, this does not signify that tamaske is crazy. to be honest, he is far from it. the gray male is rather intelligent but he easily bores of most lions in the badlands and therefore prefers to keep to himself. as a result, he talks to himself to keep himself entertained when boredom settles in. also, he is a rather hard headed beast, and it is very hard to sway him from any decisions and opinions.
perhaps the worst trait is his sometimes bloodthirsty behavior. this is said to come from his days being an outsider. he taunts and teases his prey until he decides he's had enough of that fun. sport killing is one of the things he is most well known for. he is also rather spiteful and is known to seek vengeance on anyone who wrongs him.
history - tamaske was born into the outlands to a mother who abandoned him. it was said that he was one of the last cubs to be sired by scar before his death. the young cub was taken in by an outsider lioness who found him, nearly dead, at the very edge of the termite mounds. as he grew, it became clear that the gray cub had inherited many of scars qualities, though he was much better at hiding the hatred that filled his heart than his father had been.
as the cub grew under the care of the lioness he'd grown to call mother, his personality grew stronger and it became more and more evident that he was as ill tempered as his father had been. he was braver as well, seeking out and instigating fights with the other outlanders cubs. most wrote it off as cub behavior. this energy became focused onto hunting once he came of age, and the bloodthirsty behavior began with the steadily growing males first kill.
at the age of two and a half, the large male experienced the one event that would change his life. late one night his mother had slipped away from the outsiders territory and into the pridelands in order to catch some prey for her and tamaske. once the antelope baby was downed, she was caught, muzzle bloodied with the young antelopes blood. tamaske, who'd woken up shortly after she had departed, followed her silently into the pridelands and witnessed her murder. angered and fueled by hatred, the large male attacked the two others, killing one and severely injuring the other before taking the lifeless body of the lioness that had raised him back to their lands. that night, the males heart swelled with more hatred than his father had been ever known to have. he vowed vengeance on the pridelanders and swore he would not stop until their queen was dead.
