Personality (will be made pretty)
Name: Jethro
Nickname(s): None as of yet.
Gender: Male
Born:
Orientation: Straight
Personality: Jethro is a fun-loving lion who's always looking for the next great adventure. He vastly enjoys exploring, whether it be by himself or, much preferably, in the company of good friends. As far as he’s concerned, the depths of a new cave beats any sunning rock or nap-granted dream out there. Of course, this promotes a bit of restlessness within the young-at-heart male every now and again, as new places to check out are scarce at best in a land he’s grown so fond of exploring. Still, even the smallest of finds can sustain the want for adventure in the lion. Small but strange bugs, if nothing else is to be found.
Jethro is good at making due.
This adventurous spirit gives him a natural leadership quality. He likes to be the one in charge and would sooner bring the whole cause crashing to the ground than follow the rule of someone he doesn’t feel worthy of the position. Luckily, he doesn’t usually find people unworthy. He’s not so into leading that it creates a ton of conflict. It’s more of the kind of thing where if no leader is present in a situation, and one is needed, he’ll gladly step into the roll. He also likes to lead the conversation when he can. As much as he enjoys it, Jethro understands that he lacks the ability to control a large group continuously. Best in small spurts, his governing urges come and go with the wind.
Perhaps his greatest strength, and biggest flaw, is the fact that he has a great hero complex. He often gets himself into trouble after protecting someone else. But he doesn’t mind, so long as the ones he cares about aren’t hurt, or their situation made worse by his presence.
When it comes to friends, Jethro prefers those who mesh with his own personality. Though some say opposites attract, Jethro just isn’t a fan of the philosophy. Then again, not many really believe it to be a good thing at face value. That’s what makes the magnetic connection of two very different beings such a special relationship. (A concept Jethro remains oblivious of.) The gray lion loves out-going, friendly people with similar interests, along with those who grasp the simple concept of wit. He isn’t fond of social gatherings, or those who leap at the chance to call one another friend without getting to know each other first. When faced with large groups of lion, particularly male lions, Jethro often hides away or keeps quiet until approached. It is the only time where he can be seen as reserved. In one-on-one or small congregations he’s all about the conversation. He loves hearing stories and participating in active debates. Indeed, Jethro likes intelligent lions more than anything else. That’s not to say he’ll completely snub beasts who aren’t like him, of course. He’s nice enough to try and get to know everyone.
So long as it’s not all at once.
He’s much more open in notions of love than in friendship. Jethro is a firm believer in love at first sight and the idea that true love is the strongest thing in the world. (Yes, Cajanic’s bleeding heart has dripped all over Jethro and made him a hopeless romantic as well.) His match doesn’t have to be anything like him, so long as their feelings for each other are real. It’s the only time where that aforementioned notion of ‘opposites attracting’ really shines in his mind. How he fails to apply it to all aspects of meeting others is anyone’s guess.
Of course, sometimes Jethro can be a bit too quick to think it’s love.
Speaking of love, Jethro loves kids. And not in an “I’m going to eat them when your back is turned” kind of way. He wants to have, in his words, “a ton of ‘em” with the one who becomes his mate. (Or mates, if true love eludes him the first time around.) Whatever the case, he wants to make sure his genes make it to the pool, future generations of Jethros secure.
Sadly, Jethro swims like a brick, and is afflicted with a terrible trepidation for deep water. No, he isn’t afraid of rain. The dark furred creature just doesn’t like massive bodies of water, such as lakes or large ponds. Hell, even suspiciously deep puddles give him the willies. Perhaps a bit cliché, a cat being afraid of water, but what can you do? When you’re afraid, you’re afraid. Pre-conceived notions be damned. He also isn’t fond of the idea of anything bad happening to any of his friends, willing to fight off anyone who comes his way to protect them.
Health: Despite spending a good portion of his time getting himself into trouble, Jethro is almost always is good health. When he is sick, though. He makes it quite clear. The somewhat child-like lion is horrible with colds and such; miserable and willing to make everyone around him suffer too. Luckily he's never been seriously sick. He would probably have his friends light candles and pray for his health or something. As a hunter, Jethro has always been able to manage. He catches enough food to produce a healthy weight, his body finely tuned and well built for the life of a loner. That’s not to say he doesn’t miss meals every now and again, but on the whole he does well for himself.
Intelligence: Jethro is a fairly bright lion. He doesn't often show it though, unless he needs to take the lead in a situation. The male likes to just hang out with people and not have them think he's some kind of stuck up creep just because he has a heightened diction or quick-to-bite sarcasm.
Talents: When it comes to talents, Jethro doesn’t have any that stand out. Unless you consider finding a new place to explore or a sheer inability to understand the emotions of those around him when it’s truly important talents.
Hobbies: Jethro likes to explore, as previously stated.
Habitual Mannerisms: He's always stretching his front paws in uncomfortable situations, claws digging at the ground as though looking for tiny buried treasure just below his paws. It's a dead tell that he isn't comfortable with what's going on around him. He also smiles a lot. Can a smile be a mannerism?
Likes: Kids, caves, dark places, small animals, happy people, fresh kills, playing with friends, being alone every now and again, intelligence.
Dislikes: Too many males, stupid lions, water.
Family: He has no family at this moment. XD
Friends: Such a loner is he! No friends either.
