Lion-O || Thundercats (2011) || Reserved
Nickname: Olivia
Age: 21
Personal LJ/DW: fairfolk
Method of Contact: Plurk: oliviousness
Characters Played: n/a
Character Info:
Name: Lion-O
Age: 17
Canon: ThunderCats (2011)
Pull Point: From the end of Episode 17, “Native Son”
Background Info:
History: Here
Personality:
Lion-O is your typical teenage boy at a glance: brash, impulsive, curious and full of his own somewhat naïve ideas about the world. However, the main difference between him and a typical teenager is that he’s the heir to the throne of Thundera, the kingdom of the Cats on the distant planet of Third Earth. Despite this, he isn’t widely considered to be the best choice to succeed his father: before it was proven otherwise, he was the only one among his kind to believe that technology existed, and would often shun his duties as prince to roam the back alleys in search of lost technology to study and examine. He also doesn’t share the same racist views towards other Animals as other Cats do, firmly believing that no one should be treated harshly because of their species. It’s due to these reasons that he is treated as the black sheep of the royal family, with the public and his own father, King Claudus, largely favouring his adoptive older brother Tygra over him.
The destruction of Thundera, however, changes Lion-O’s life completely. An army of Lizards led by the Cats’ arch-enemy Mumm-Ra attack the city using the technology that the Cats believed was merely the stuff of fairy tales and thus completely unprepared for, leading to their defeat in the span of a day. The role of king is suddenly thrust upon Lion-O after the death of his father, and along with Tygra and a few other surviving Cats he wanders Third Earth, seeking to unite the other Animals to defeat Mumm-Ra and learn how to use the Cats’ ancestral weapon, the Sword of Omens, along the way. This forces Lion-O to learn what it means to be a leader.
Like any protagonist, Lion-O has insecurities regarding his role. The popularity of Tygra with the public and the fact that his brother is just plain better at some things than him has given him a bit of an inferiority complex, believing that he can never be fully up to the task of being king. Due to suddenly being made king after the destruction of Thundera, he is made to learn lessons during his journey about how not to rush into situations and listen to his teammates’ input. While he isn’t the most effective leader at first, he is slowly growing more into his role as time goes on, especially after he dies and is made to complete a series of trials in order to win back his life.
Though Lion-O is Third Earth’s best chance of defeating Mumm-Ra, wielding the same sword that his ancestor used in the Cats’ rebellion against him hundreds of years ago, he still has a lot of growing up to do. In order to do that, he needs to learn how to lead his small team against the growing threat, but he’s willing to do what it takes to get there.
Game Specific:
Arcana: Strength
Justification: Lion-O has displayed both positive and negative aspects of this arcana. On one hand, he is passionate, generous towards those in need, unwilling to abuse his strength or skill in swordplay, and is learning more self-control. On the other hand, he can be pessimistic about whether or not he’s suited to be king, and will sometimes charge into a situation before realizing he’s in over his head. Basically his journey is all about learning to harness the strength he has, whether physically or through his new position as Lord of the Thundercats.
Samples:
First Person Sample:
[The feed turns on to show Lion-O in the middle of doing…something. He doesn’t seem to realize it’s on, since it looks like he’s holding up his sword in front of his face.]
Sword of Omens, give me Sight Beyond Sight.
[After saying that, he just stands there, as though expecting something to happen, but nothing does. He lets out an irritated growl, and repeats himself, louder this time:]
Sword of Omens, give me Sight Beyond Sight!
[Again, nothing. Lion-O sighs and finally lowers his sword.]
So I really can’t do it anymore…and just when I’d finally gotten the hang of it, too. [He seems pretty troubled by this.]
Third Person Sample:
Everything was new to him, much more than before. Granted, learning about new people and new places was something Lion-O had become accustomed to on his journey back home, but this…this was entirely different. Not only had he been suddenly taken here without any of the other Cats, but he had apparently been called here to fight Shadows…or something like that. It was a lot to remember, and he needed time to think.
Wasn’t there a way back? Evidently not, from what he had been told, so whether he liked it or not his overall goal of defeating Mumm-Ra would have to wait. Lion-O gritted his teeth in frustration—even his teeth felt different, duller, without the familiar sharpness he and others of his kind were so used to.
At least this place had allowed him to keep the Sword of Omens, since fortunately he had it with him at all times. Even if they’d taken his teeth and his fur, he wasn’t completely defenseless. And he could make sure he wouldn’t be. Hefting himself to his feet with a grunt, Lion-O went off to search for a place to train.
