Ben Dagur

[Ben]

Character Name: Ben 'Benny' Dagur
Age: 3 Years
Gender: Male
Species: Lion (big cat from the plot )
History:

Born into a forest and stolen, he was put into a mesh of steel, and since then Ben has had a full circus training life. When Ben's mother was born, she was born half blind, and nearly carried the trait to Ben, who during an accident with metal spikes, skewered his eye and turned half-blind anyway, at the age of thirteen months.
He then went exploring around the circus, unable to see the world in full vision, with only one working eye, but there was almost nothing to see but rotting fabrics and broken tents. He found one friend, a young leopard. This leopard was met while the ring master was attempting to 'tame' them both, and they soon became friends, and this relationship went on until Ben turned two, when the leopard went 'exploring' and didn't come back. This left a gaping hole in his heart, but Ben kept on, until a sudden jolt brought the circus tumbling, the humans disappearing, and a way out had been found. This was when he met a female lion, named Amelia, who was as silent and calm as Ben, and they became friends, better friends than even Ben and his own mother, who tragically died of some sort of disease.

Appearance:

With dull gold fur and and a cream mane, Ben isn't the most handsome lion around, but is indeed different. His bland blue eyes resemble a sort of dull ice blue, darkening when at peace. His muzzle is pale and has a pale nose at the end, the eyes above and staring. His dead, blind eye is pure white with a dark blood red scar crossing it, pointing down until it reaches the nose. The top of his mane is darker than the rest, and turns almost black towards the shoulder. This gives him a very heavy appearance.
Ben isn't very bulbous at all, he was malnourished when he was younger but has only just managed to put some weight back on. You can still see his ribs sometimes. His face is broad, and his neck is short and thick. The legs are thin, but strong, like the tail, which ends in a cream tuft of long furs. You can barely see his golden ears, which are tipped black, because they are hidden underneath his pale mane. He is also quite tall, taller than most male lions, giving him a somewhat strange appearance.

Personality:

Ben is very quick to offend, but feels terribly bad after seeing the result. He apologises from his heart, and will never deliberately try to hurt anyone. He is very subtle, quiet and kind, never asking for anything another has, simply waiting for them to offer him some. But when he is around a bad influence, he is quick to take on their habits to try them out, often with bad consequences. This nature has earn him only few friends.
He is also a very caring lion, always offering to help when needed, and won't deny anyone something when they need it. He is also very smart, very secret, and one will often have to unlock him before he reveals his true, tranquil self. When he finds someone he loves, he will protect them, but from a distance, keeping his emotions a secret, until someone can read his mind and tell him, which is very rare indeed.

Role-play Example:

Nope. I don't want to. This is my fourth character! No sample! :3
