Long Time Coming; Wearing Down the Rock
This is Bacarudo.
I've owned him since 2009 and since then I've made him out to be the bad guy in any rp he's played in with my other characters. Not necessarily entirely unwarranted given his particularly gravelly personality, but still, I want him to have a more fulfilled life than the one he's lead thus far. Honestly, though he's been a real asshat in the past, I don't think he's completely unsalvageable. I've seen him interact with certain characters in a far from hostile fashion and given that I'm a true helpless romantic, I would really like to see if it's possible to find that special someone just for him. Someone who can interact with him in some semblance of an affectionate relationship.
And so.. here I am, divulging all Ba's deep, dark secrets.
Hoping that someone out there might be willing to give it a shot.

Notes About Baca;
Baca is built like a tank. Short and stocky, he may not be the tallest lion on the savanna, but his build is heavy with solid, dense layers of muscle.
Due to a number of unpleasant scuffles he possesses scars on his face, haunches and shoulder.
Brown fur is surprisingly thick and shaggy despite living in the arid heat of Africa and though it can often be cumbersome, it serves its purpose. Providing a fair defense against bite wounds in battle.
Voice is dry and gravelly due to the fact that that he'll often go months without saying a word to anyone.

Personality; Bacarudo can come off as a maltempered lion due in great part to experiences from his past. His quick temper is ferocious when agitated and he tends to be wary of the motives others possess and regards them with an underlying sense of uncertainty. These traits are amplified quite noticeably when Ba is confronted with the presence of a female (of any species). In these situations the usually indifferent male can be down right malicious, at times even going out of his way to cause bodily harm to her or chase her away.
Having grown up without the crucial element of social interaction he doesn't seem to handle strangers with much tact or consideration for emotion, tending to speak frankly. While such a manner may come off as abrasive and rough around the edges, it also means that Baca is not the sort to play mind games. Expressing his opinions and feelings honestly, albeit sometimes with great difficulty if its a matter close to the heart as he's definitely no wordsmith.
The Story; So, most of those who knows Bacarudo know all too well that this rogue can be a real jerk, but rarely does anyone get the chance to wonder or give a care to the reasons why. The truth is, this surly male was born the only offspring of his mother, a sociopathic lioness cast out into the rogue lands by her pride after numerous instances of discord. From the moment of her condemnation she spent her time flitting carelessly from place to place until finding herself pregnant. Despite the fact she showed little interest in preparing for the coming litter and even less interest when Bacarudo was finally born.
Without siblings to lean on, he suffered the burden of her cruel treatment in solitude. Like a cat with a mouse, Baca was kept as little more than a source of entertainment and an outlet for his mother's frustration. Frequently being forgotten out of sheer neglect or used as a target for hunting practice. She never verbally abused him, the fact of the matter was she rarely acknowledged him at all. Neither calling him by a name nor considering him as a creature worthy of much consideration. Similar to the way one might have thought nothing of an ant before stepping on it.
Not having known any other life, Bacarudo seemed destined to forever be little more than his mother's accessory----still working on this.
Things to Know;
Currently a rogue, but I'd be willing to throw him in a pride if his significant other was part of one.
I'm looking for a male for Bacarudo. Ba's mother royally screwed him up and as a result it's far more likely he would become attached to another male because he honestly can't form cohesive relationships with females.
I'm open to all sorts of personality types. I'm not sure what'll work best with him.
I'm also open to ANY main SoA breed! Leopards. Lions. Cheetahs. Any Hybrid. Hyenas or Wild Dogs. Love comes in many forms. We don't discriminate. ;D
I would like to get some cubs out of Baca for gifting purposes and such, so I may throw him in Mix & Match threads. May being the operative word, given there really is no feasible way I could explain conception IC and Baca would never know about or meet the resulting cubs. However, thought it was important for anyone interested in him to know.
