quick description - Lean dark colored lion with a light caramel mane and tail. Pool blue eyes and a sandy muzzle.

full description - Bakari is not the bulkiest, biggest male around. He really seems to pose little threat appearance wise, and is very lean with lithe muscle definition. A easy, swaggering walk accompanies the male: a walk he learned from his father and has yet to figure out how to get rid of. Bakari usually looks playful and never seems fully in the moment. That being said, Bakari is not a male you can easily look over or forget. He has a striking dark, chocolate coat color and a creamy caramel mane and tail. His mane is rather full and trails down his back, and courses down his chest and ends just beneath his ribcage. His muzzle is a sandy, golden yellow color and stretches out to under his eyes.

The most striking thing about Bakari is is blue eyes. They are cool and bright, not to mention extremely captivating. They have definitely darkened over the years. As a cub, his eyes were a very crystal, light blue and have darkened slowly over the years and will probably continue to darken with age. He has a very red nose, very odd for a darker colored lion. His paw pads are also the same color as his nose.

personality - Bakari can be described in four easy words; carefree, procrastinator, understanding, and pushy.

Bakari has a very carefree personality. He is very easy to get along with if you like to be around someone that won't bother you. He has easily lived along many other males simply based on the fact that he has no plans of challenging authority anytime soon and just wants to sit back and relax.

Secondly, Bakari is a procrastinator. He is a rather lazy individual and really doesn't like putting in 100% effort into anything, really. He likes to take his own time doing things his own way. Of course, there are times where he feels he needs to up the effort and can work extremely hard if he pushes himself to do something.

Bakari is a very understanding, accepting individual. He has learned to accept lions from all walks of life and doesn't discriminate in the least. He's been known to have friends in high and low places and tends to be the one to turn to if you just need someone to be yourself around.

Lastly, Bakari can get pushy. He's been known to easily fall for lionesses in the past, and likes to get his way with them if possible. He can come off as too strong or too confident, and most females see this as a big turn off. Also, he spends a majority of his day trying to woo the ladies and gets restless if things don't go as planned.

history - Bakari grew up in a tiny pride that consisted of his father, mother, a female and her two cubs. He was the only surviving cub his mother, Furaha, gave birth to. He had two siblings that ended up as still born. He was the second born cub in his litter. He spent most of his time with Damu and Maji, his half siblings. Life was pretty easy and relaxed for the cub until the pride started seeing an increase in members. A few more lionesses were added to the pride; Uzuri, Kengele and Majani. Young Bakari fell in love with Uzuri; she was four and he a mere two. Uzuri paid him little to no attention and tried to distance herself, which only succeeded in making the male try harder. He lost interest, as most young males his age would, but it was a little too late. His father had noticed, and fearing an overthrow attempt, he kicked out both his sons. Damu and Bakari traveled for a short while together until Damu found a mate that he bonded with very well and wanted to start his own pride. Bakari wandered on his own for a few months before settling in the Outlands Pride.

how you found us - a Google search after watching The Lion King I and II.

roleplay example -
A pale sunlight filtered through the heavy curtains of the large library window, providing the young girl with enough light to read the manga sprawled in front of her. Minah had been utterly delighted to find that the library catered to her manga addiction and had a few racks of the splendid books. Min grinned as her eyes followed the curves of the drawings, flipping the pages one after the other. It was probably her favourite pastime to just sit down and read a handful of manga. She was glad to know that she could do exactly the same even if she was now living in an odd world called dirge where she was a vampire with fangs. Not to mention the other assortment of supernatural folk just wandering the halls of the school.

At first Min had been in denial of the whole thing. It's just a long dream since I'm still freezing and lost and sooner or later I'll have to wake up. Lucky for her, the place happened to be real. Min hadn't enjoyed her life much, honestly. She had strict Asian parents who had forced her to play the piano every single, godforsaken day and had made sure she either got those good marks or lectured her for days on it. She was sure other kids had it worse; she wasn't abused or abandoned, but it felt a lot worse when she didn't really consider other people.

Min finally closed the manga, holding the cool book in her hands for a few more moments. Savoring the aftertaste she got from reading something satisfying. Her chair slid across the carpeted floor as she stood, strolling to the manga rack and placing the manga in its rightful place. She contemplated picking up the next volume or actually reading a real book with text in it. The latter won since she made an abrupt turn for the bookshelves, running a slender finger over the spines of the numerous books. To be honest, she wasn't much of a reader. She was far too easily distracted to sit down and read an actual book, but from time to time Min did try to read. She was forever trying to find a book by an author not of the real world. Or whatever the place she had been previous to the dirge was called. Real world, or Earth, or maybe something completely unknown to her.

(It's a human rp example, sorry! I haven't played any animal rps in a while)
