Maneater ℭ𝔞𝔰𝔱𝔦𝔢𝔩

Prologue:
Born of death, ℭ𝔞𝔰𝔱𝔦𝔢𝔩 is a king of great magnitude and power. He and his many ancestors before him fight against the infection of the outlands, striving to make a better future. Because of the constant touch with the oddity of the outlands, every offspring born of the kingdom's line becomes more and more in tune with the deformities and the outland.

Background:
ℭ𝔞𝔰𝔱𝔦𝔢𝔩 was not originally going to become king and was born to a commoner in the valley. Because the mother of ℭ𝔞𝔰𝔱𝔦𝔢𝔩 was not royalty, she was not protected and left to be ridiculed as a traitor for having a child with an outsider. When the ridiculing became too much, ℭ𝔞𝔰𝔱𝔦𝔢𝔩 mother fled to the outer parts of the outlands where the infection is not as strong. Sadly because of starvation, ℭ𝔞𝔰𝔱𝔦𝔢𝔩 mother died after giving birth to ℭ𝔞𝔰𝔱𝔦𝔢𝔩. left to the outlands, ℭ𝔞𝔰𝔱𝔦𝔢𝔩 was found by the king, Ellery, and taken in because the king had taken an interest in the oddities of the outlands. Seeing an opportunity Ellery raised ℭ𝔞𝔰𝔱𝔦𝔢𝔩 to become his heir and made him seem to be his son. At first, ℭ𝔞𝔰𝔱𝔦𝔢𝔩 did not want this fate for himself as he saw the kingdom as a betrayer to his mother and left him to be abandoned. But as ℭ𝔞𝔰𝔱𝔦𝔢𝔩 became wiser, he decided it would be best if he became king.

Personality:

Wise: ℭ𝔞𝔰𝔱𝔦𝔢𝔩 is wiser than most, he finds himself looking more into knowledge rather than physical strength, believing that he may find the answer to the problems of the outlands. He knows much about other lions at only a distance, he is known for his cunning nature and always winning a game of "Catch the prey".

Strong-Willed: With the last words of his "father" being to rule the kingdom and to not let it go, ℭ𝔞𝔰𝔱𝔦𝔢𝔩 found himself believing in himself more than ever. Holding a will of iron, ℭ𝔞𝔰𝔱𝔦𝔢𝔩 has never given up on a challenge believing that if he were to ever do such, then his head should but cut off.

Confused: ℭ𝔞𝔰𝔱𝔦𝔢𝔩 is confused in his own emotions, both hating the fact that he is protecting the people who killed his mother and hating his mother for his birth. Confused and uncontrollable, ℭ𝔞𝔰𝔱𝔦𝔢𝔩 will sometimes have short outbursts of emotions in which he will have to stay in his castle to relax.

Emotional: though wise, he finds himself more emotional rather than logical, letting his hatred get the better of him. He may spite his enemies and though he is not dead yet, he may find himself in a situation if he does not find a way to control himself.

Physically stronger: Physically stronger than most lions because of his odd birth and his being bigger than most lions, he gains an advantage on the battlefield or when it comes to combat. However, he finds this uncivil and believes that things must be solved with words rather than violence.

Oddly pacific: Though filled with hatred and confusion, he is oddly a pacifist and believes that all lions and animals should live peacefully as one and that all things come from the same birth. This can be both a weakness and a strength, his pacifist mind may give him a lot of respect from neighboring kingdoms and his people, but his pacifism can lead to him sparing people who may hurt his kingdom in the future.

Anit-Social: Because of his birth and his life being locked away in the castle being molded into a king, ℭ𝔞𝔰𝔱𝔦𝔢𝔩 finds himself having a harder time socializing and trusting other people. That is why he picks people who he believes to be his speakers and his trusted loyalty. these lions are known as Murr Lions, they speak on behalf of the king and attend him.

How he runs his kingdom:
ℭ𝔞𝔰𝔱𝔦𝔢l keeps the very old and outdated values that the kings before him have kept, that which being the idea of royalty and commoners, in between holding the middle class which can only be obtained by extremely hard work. ℭ𝔞𝔰𝔱𝔦𝔢𝔩 has only changed very few things, such as changing the ability to become a general. Most if not all generals must have family ties to the kingdom to lead armies and command. ℭ𝔞𝔰𝔱𝔦𝔢𝔩 had also added new roles for lions and greatly improved morality and agriculture in the kingdom. ℭ𝔞𝔰𝔱𝔦𝔢𝔩 himself believes that hard work earns you what you have and that with discipline and hard work, you can even become king one day.
