Nashorme is a fairly friendly and outgoing lion. He is loyal to those he's chosen to protect and fierce when it comes to enemies. He does have one flaw, however... Sometimes, in matters of the heart, Nash can be a bit (or more than a bit) oblivious to what may seem obvious. One must simply hit him over the head with such things, at times. Nash is also something of a "mage", though the "magic" that he knows is really nothing more than illusion. He knows that, but he is very, very good at it. So much so that his audience would swear it's all real, though such things are impossible. He enjoys attention, to a certain degree, and loves to show off his tricks to any who are willing to watch.

Recently...
Nashorme has recently met and fallen in love with a lioness named A'lora, a tiny little thing with a wonderful singing voice. Together, they've been searching for a safe place to settle down ... and perhaps raise a family.
In the Past...
In a place far away, there was a land split into several different factions along the lines of species. Each faction absolutely hated the other, and there was almost always war of some kind. Eventually, it all got to be too much, and the Seers of several different species met together and decided as a group to forcibly separate the species so that the warring would stop. They bullied the other species into moving to new areas, and then several of them took their own families and moved up onto the slopes of a mountain, so they could watch over the others and ensure the warring did not start again.
So, those on the mountain were composed of all different species, and lived together in harmony. Below, the different species went on about their lives for quite some time - and eventually, their enemies faded into legends of the past. The group of Seers had done their jobs so well that most quite simply forgot there was any other species of predator aside from themselves.
Into this land, Nashorme was born. His parents died soon after his birth - his father an older lion anyway and his mother from complications of childbirth. So, Nash became an orphan - wandering about the lands of the pride. Until one day, the son of one of the current leaders found him on the streets. This was Valen, a leopard.
Though Nash was not a Seer, Valen still saw potential in the youngster and took him in as a student, despite protests that he was not of the "correct" lineage for such a thing. Over the next few years, Valen taught Nash all that he knew of things such as reading the weather, and other signs of nature. He also taught Nash such "magic" as can be made by one with is quick of paw, and clever of mind. Of course, none of it was real - all illusion. But as Valen had thought ... Nash was a natural at such things.
It was around this time, that an outside threat appeared. A rather large pride was moving into the area, one that simply took what they liked and killed any who got in their way. Then, once they had used up all the resources in one place, they moved on to another. And much of the lands the Seers watched over was desirable to such a pride.
For the most part, the Seers shook their heads and argued and debated over what to do - but Valen had a revolutionary idea. He wanted to go out, and gather members of all the species in the area, and appeal to them to all help drive away the threat together. That way, they would surely have enough numbers to save themselves. Needless to say, the older leaders did not agree with this plan.
But Valen left anyway, in secret - taking his young student with him. At first, all went well - Valen's vision and will keeping the group together. But then, tragedy struck. A scouting party from the invading pride found Valen's small group of emissaries and attacked them.
In the chaos of the fight, Nash was injured and Valen shoved the young lion into a cave to hide him as the battle moved on. By the time Nash woke, the others were far away. Alone and confused, he stumbled out of the cave and unwittingly went completely the wrong direction.
He had never really been outside the lands of the Seers before, so he didn't know where he was, or how to get back home - or to find Valen and the others. It took some time for him to realize how completely lost he was, and by that point ... he had reached more populated lands - those more common to Rogues than prides.
It was there that Nash grew up the rest of the way - from time to time putting on small "shows" using the tricks that Valen had taught him, and wandering here and there. He had never stopped thinking about his home... but at the same time, he's more or less given up on ever finding it again.
