.name.
Final

.species.
Lion

.gender.
Male

.rank.
War General

.appearance.
Final is a caramel lion with a chocolate-brown mane and a white underbelly. He has glowing, light-blue, gorgeous eyes. He has massive paws and serrated claws and teeth. This male lion is huge, one of the maximum sizes for a lion, and is one-fourth Barbary lion, which is an extinct species of lion. He has a long tail that is tipped with a dark brown tuft of fur. He has a full mane that sometimes hides his eyes. Final has scars about his muzzle and face. Small, white flecks dapple his scarcely dapple his pelt.

.personality.
Final is a very courteous and polite lion; a true gentleman. He is very kind to others, and despite being the War General, he hates war with a passion and would rather talk things out, if possible. He loves his pride like he loved his adopted daughter, a hyena named Fawn. He is a bit shy at times, but loves to meet new lions that come into the pride. His feelings toward Wrath are a bit neutral, though leaning on the negative side; he understands that the lion god is extremely powerful and definitely exists, but he has seen Wrath portrayed as both good and as bad. He sometimes wishes they had a god like Legion, who is kind and caring, but knows that he wouldn’t want to force Wrath upon anybody else in his lifetime. He sees hyenas as a threat, but will not provoke an attack. Final is a bit neutral towards most of the hyenas, since most of their hatred towards the pride is caused by Zerah’s rash attacks, which were never brought to Final to be consulted.

Final is very skilled at hiding his emotions, and tends to bottle them up after a while. He hardly ever cries, and when he does, he lets it all out. He hates it when the pride sees him at such a fragile state, which is why very few know of it when he has a slight breakdown. Final, being a loving lion, is hurt easily at times, but at other times he is seen as a ‘go-getter’ that never lets anything phase him. He tries to not let his anger and emotions interfere with his decisions, but sometimes it is extremely hard not to do so. He has developed feelings for a lioness named Tsuna, but does not want to put her in danger. He feels betrayed by Zerah, and is planning to try and challenge for leadership, but is hesitating. He is not afraid of losing, but he is afraid that if he loses, Zerah will find some way to hurt him through the ones he loves; Zerah or Ammon.

He is very open-minded when it comes to ideas. He tries to look at both sides of things, which is something other lions tend to not do. This is caused from raising a hyena from pup-hood to adult-hood. He holds a grudge against wolves, but tries not to let that keep him from making friends. He can be a bit of a goody-goody, but this is very rare (though he is accused of this often). In reality, he is very truthful and will tell others what he thinks of them, and is not afraid to do so. He has called Zerah out a couple of times, but nothing has come from it, to Final’s relief. Final is terrified of fire, though, due to his past. He will not go anywhere near it unless it counts on his life or his friend’s lives. He is known to be pretty heroic at times, but tries not to jump into a situation without thinking.

.biography.
Final was born in a den outside of a heavily-forested area as an only child. The pride lived in the den but hunted in the forest. When he was still a cub, barely weaned, he broke his paw and had to stay in the den while the rest of the pride hunted. While they were hunting, the heat combined with the recent drought caused a fire. He was forced to stay in the den, listening to the scream of his pride as they were surrounded by fire and burned to death. He fled afterwards, not making much progress due to his paw, but he had to run, he had to get away from there.

His paw eventually healed, though it pained him occasionally. By the time he was a year old, he was well adapted to the world around him. He was a skilled hunter and a fine runner, as well as an excellent fighter. He came upon a lightly forested area about that time, and learned a few tricks from the baboons from time to time. Then, while he enjoyed his stay at the edges of the local pride’s territory, he found Fawn.

Fawn was a black hyena pup with white spots and legs. She had green eyes and was immediately adopted by Final, who remembered what it had felt like to have no mother. Fawn’s pack had been killed by lions, but she had snuck away, which had spared her life. Final figured out that Fawn was already weaned, but barely. It took some time for Fawn to not bite him every time he came near, and not to run at the sight of him, but they finally grew to love each other, and a father-daughter relationship was formed. He raised the pup, and together they thrived.

When Fawn was captured by Starsight, a moonlight dragon who was possessed by the restless spirit of another dragon of the same species, Final sought revenge. He tore through the land, trying to find his daughter. He found Starsight on several occasions, and though he never beat her in a fight, he managed to learn a few new powerful moves that she had used against him. He also gained the scars that litter his face. After a long time, he came to accept the fact that his daughter was dead.

This made him quiet, withdrawn, and depressing. He was shy and hardly ever talked. Final spent his days wandering through the land with his head down, not caring what happened to him. Solitude became his sole companion, and he knew it well. When he stumbled upon the Day of Wrath pride, he was unsure of what to think of the lions that welcomed him with open arms. He was slowly drawn out of his shell by Zerah, the king of the pride, and Elrose, one of the lead hunters. Final became the War General not too long after. He became what he would label as ‘himself’: a polite, kind lioness who wanted nothing but good for his pride.

Final came to look up to Zerah as a king and as a brother. Their bond strengthened to the point that Final felt at home. But when Zerah became more rash and morphed into a lion Final did not know, he became worried. Zerah began provoking the hyenas with decisions that he thought simply idiotic and lacking common-sense. He felt betrayed after several major attacks were made on the hyenas without his consultation as the War General. For a while, Zerah returned to normal, but he began to become something that he did not recognize.

At one point, Zerah took a hyena captive. When Zerah said that he wanted to torture the hyena, Final knew that his king was changing. Seeds of rebellion sprouted in his mind, and began to grow. He became angry at Zerah, and extremely cross with the lion he once called his brother. No apology was ever offered, so the rift between Final and Zerah grew.

Final watched Zerah closely; he was hoping with all of his heart that these antics would stop. Zerah became a bit better, which made Final regain his hope.

He met Tsuna, a very kind lioness that he could find much in common with. He trusted his secrets with her, telling her of his past and at one point, he simply broke down in front of her. Final knew that she would support him in anything he did and would not criticize him, only see him for who he was. This was why he began to develop feelings for her.

But then, someone else came along. Sarfeil has suddenly come into his life, and he questions his feelings. He has fallen in love with both of them, and is torn.
