❝ The Brawler Prince ❞
:|He/Him|:
✸ Tinteku’s character and story are primarily based on and in May’s championship event✸
Tinteku, also known as the Brawler Prince, is a prominent brawler during the championship season, and is well known for competing in arena fights as a shockingly well-adept challenger. For being unusually smaller than most other lions his age and skill level, he's made his mark, and doesn't seem to be stopping his rise anytime soon. He’s quite popular among those who love to root for the underdog, along with those who just find it funny to see him duke it out with massive primals and have an extremely slim, albeit still possible chance at winning.
He’s not a showboat, but by no means is he in any way humble. The majority of his appeal at the championships isn’t his winning, even if he does it surprisingly more often than expected. Instead, his gimmick is the show he puts on during it. While sure, watching a short dorsal fur battler take down bigger lions is cool, he’s decked himself out in jewelry and bones and tailored his fighting style to be as flashy, fast, and dramatic as possible for more exciting fights. He’s not here to win every time, but he’s undeniably here to compete and entertain.
Though, the strangest thing about Tinteku isn’t his size or his attitude. No, the strangest thing is the fact he’s nearly never found outside of the championship season. It’s extraordinarily rare to run into him otherwise, which begs the question: Where does he even go when he’s not fighting?
TLDR: he’s basically the result of someone putting a theater kid into sports and them going ham on both aspects.
RELATIONSHIPS
Tinteku and V’kai
Tinteku and V’kai are fairly good friends, at least during the championship season when they see each other the most.
Tinteku thinks V’kai’s great company, and tends to follow him like a shadow when he’s not competing, while V’kai does his best to hook Tinteku up with the best groupies he can find (Though he always seems a bit jealous at the attention Tinteku will give some of them.)
While Tinteku is shorter than him, V'kai is actually the younger of the two, though only by a bit.
Tinteku and Vashkartzen
Tinteku does his best to avoid Vashkartzen. Though they’re not on bad terms by any means, Tinteku tries to keep his distance. He'd prefer to make his losing battles at least flashy instead of just getting straight up thrown.
