And finally, I made a second character. He's not an NPC, but I may make just one during the weekend (just one no more). I really had fun making this character though! [center] [hider=King Leonidas III] [h2][b][color=a0410d]King Leonidas III[/color][/b][/h2] [img]http://orig03.deviantart.net/f3f4/f/2010/071/6/3/astral_by_inubiko.jpg[/img] [color=a0410d][b]Name:[/b][/color] King Leonidas Mericonanian Lionheart III [color=a0410d][b]Alias:[/b][/color] "Lion-King"; "King Righteous"; "Riser Of Suns"; "Bane Of Tigerius"; "Your Majesty"; "Leo" [color=a0410d][b]Race:[/b][/color] Lionoid (Anthropomorphic Lion) [color=a0410d][b]Sex:[/b][/color] Male [color=a0410d][b]Class:[/b][/color] Defensive Swordsman Tank; (Beast Slayer) [color=a0410d][b]Equipment:[/b][/color] Leonidas' most prominent and epic of his arsenal is the giant golden sword that he carries. Called [url=http://orig05.deviantart.net/1133/f/2014/282/d/b/sword_of_the_golden_thruth_by_dragonisaris-d825diw.jpg]"The Sword Of Righteousness"[/url], this monstrously large and powerful sword is nothing short of impressive, imbued with such powerful magic that gives it its brilliant glow. Such a sword would normally be equivalent to Cloud's Buster Sword, yet to a giant anthropomorphic lion, he wields it like just some ordinary-sized sword. He also carries a large shield called [url=http://i.imgur.com/02pPcJn.jpg]"The Shield Of Valor"[/url] for additional protection against most projectile based weapons, as well as an emergency [url=http://lazypenguins.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Coolest-Knives.jpg]dagger[/url] as a safety precaution. He also carries several flasks of potions, four at a time, with usually two being healing potions and two to be used as projectiles (from explosive potions, fire-starting potion, etc). He also wears armored braces on his hands that allow him to block sword strikes with his bare hands, as well as hold the sharp end without harm. He's also been often seen smoking a [url=http://orig15.deviantart.net/3b2e/f/2010/071/6/e/astral_details_by_inubiko.jpg]pipe[/url], which he claims to be made of non-hazardous materials. [color=a0410d][b]Abilities:[/b][/color] [list] [*] [b][color=a0410d]Enhanced Strength:[/color][/b] For a giant beast anthropomorphic lion like himself, Leonidas is undoubtedly an extremely heavy hitter. After all, he does wield around a giant sword and shield like they are nothing, a feat no ordinary human-being can achieve with such effort. Legend has it that a single sweep of his sword-arm can cut down an entire column with ease. [*] [b][color=a0410d]Dark Eradication:[/color][/b] Despite the name, this is a neutral move in which the sword can pulsate once in releasing a shockwave that clears out smoke or brightens dark environments for a short moment. This move is normally used to find opponents hiding in the shadows, a stun/blinding-move, as well as an anti-smoke grenade tactic. [*] [b][color=a0410d]Royal Strike:[/color][/b] With a powerful swing of his sword, Leonidas can unleash a burst of surging plasma energy at his foe, enabling him to cut through objects as tough as steel at the right angle. This move can be used up to four times in a row. [*] [b][color=a0410d]Sovereign Charge:[/color][/b] Using a quick burst of speed, Leonidas charges at his foe with his shield out in front of him. Its more of an intimidation attack, but can knockout and stun opponents if they get hit, let alone probably getting run over. It can also knock back opponents a considerable distance. [*] [b][color=a0410d]Indomitable Defense:[/color][/b] Granting his Shield Of Valor a momentarily boost in defense, it allows it to block and tank almost any blow that strikes it for a short period of time. It does waste a lot of energy and effort, so it's only used in the most dire of situations. [/list] [color=a0410d][b]Fighting Style:[/b][/color] Leonidas is a defensive powerhouse, capable of unleashing powerful strike after powerful strike, but rather keeps his distance as a wary fighter. His countless of years in battle has made him a veteran fighter, often observing his foe from a distance before getting comfortable. Once he does get comfy however, he shows no falling back as he uses every inch of his raw might to overwhelm his opponent and defeat them. Yet struck by being under honor bound, he usually does not kill his opponent and gives them a chance to surrender first, unless said opponent is a threat to the world itself or if it continues fighting after being given said warning. [color=a0410d][b]Personality:[/b][/color] Leonidas is a proud yet admirable king. He's usually really friendly to be around with, telling valiant and epic journeys with even a joke or two in between, all while radiating a powerful warmth that one can't simply resist. He's also extremely generous, being known in his kingdom for giving food, clothes and coins to the poor citizens. During times of war, he's known for being both a great strategist and an awesomely powerful warrior out on the front lines. At the same time, Leonidas is famously known for his honor-bound attitude when dealing with his opponents one-on-one. Rather than simply killing them on the spot, the Lion-King often gives the defeated opponent a chance to concede before taking him to justice or simply letting it go on a good day. Only if the opponent refuses does Leonidas forcibly, and sometimes regrettably, strike his foe down, the death being swift and painless. While he often has a positive attitude plastered on his face most of the time, he does have guilt over the loss of his friend Tora, the Black Tiger. It's a grief he'll never recover properly from, feeling guilty that he wasn't able to save him. Despite this, he stands strong and refuses to surrender, even in the darkest of hours. [color=a0410d][b]Bio:[/b][/color] The Realm of Eisetopia is a world where the population is quite literally anthropomorphic animals. Sustaining only one giant landmass, as well as two large inland oceans, the realm is ruled by various feudalistic kingdoms across the land and beyond. Out of all of them, two Super-Kingdoms are the main powerhouses of the land. You have the Kingdom of Leonidas, Lionheart, to the Northwest ruled by a powerful lion, and to the southeast you have the Kingdom of Tora, Tigerius, ruled by a ruthless tiger. Once these two nations were allies, thriving in a rich environment of peace and justice, a time that lasted for thousands of years. Yet when Tigerius suddenly pulled away and declared war on Lionheart, they had no choice but to fight. This has lasted for almost an entire century, with each side occasionally being put on the brink of victory for one another. Yet every time, a deus ex machina event pushed each other back for another stalemate. Eventually, for a brief time, the two sides silently faltered in their attacks and thus an era of "peace" was achieved. Amongst one of the great Lion Kings of Lionheart, came King Leonidas III, father of the previous king Miercoles II. Born during the first year of this peaceful state, Leonidas was destined to become one of Lionheart's best King to date. Before this however, he trained with some of the most top-notch generals who taught him how to fight. Along this, he studied politics with his father as well as with other mentors and teachers alike. He became both skilled physically and mentally, making him a natural born warrior for peace and prosperity. While training in combat with other fellow soldiers, he became friends with a black tiger named [url=http://img06.deviantart.net/443d/i/2013/228/5/c/black_tiger_by_inubiko-d6idy6n.jpg]Tora[/url] who will eventually serve under Leonidas as a major general. When the old King Miercoles II passed away of old age, Leonidas was the next up to sit on the throne. His immediate vision for a more peaceful kingdom and society was launched immediately as he attempted to provide more jobs for the citizens, with fair wages and made sure they wouldn't go hungry. He was beloved by many in the Lionheart Kingdom, praised for his kindness and generosity as a king. As king, he also inherited both the golden sword and shield of his father, his grandfather, and all the other kings before him. He renamed the Golden Sword "The Sword of Righteousness" and the shield "The Shield of Valor". However, this peace only lasted for merely five years, when suddenly the armies of Tigerius came and ransacked a local village, too close to the main capital of Lionheart. Leonidas desperately tried to stop them from invading more of their villages and local towns, but the opposing ruler declined without any second thought. With a heavy heart, the Lion-King was forced to prepare his army for war once again. During the war, King Leonidas took note of his old comrade Tora who was doing a magnificent job on the battlefield, promoting him into a general. On several occasions, they even fought alongside once another in battle, winning battle after battle against Tigerius' foes. However, it would take one intense battle to break the strong magnetic bond they had for one another. On a cold chilly night, Leonidas was given a report from one of his scouts that a Tigerian army was on their way to a major Fortress City known as Fondor. This fortress stood for thousands of years, the gateway into the heart of the Lionheart Kingdom. If it was to be breached, the opposing army will have a direct route to the capital. Thus he and two his most skilled generals, which included Tora, were tasked in protecting the city from the invaders. Their army compared to Leonidas' was basically three to one. This became the largest military force that Tigerius conjured up in over 100 years. At first, the archers, onboard explosive ballistas, and giant catapults protecting the wall seemed to have the upper hand. Yet this wouldn't last as the opposing army began to get closer and closer to the gates, their protective formations reducing the casualty numbers by half. This forced Leonidas and his army of 1,500 elite warriors to be sent on the offensive as they rushed into the battlefield with little mercy. The battle was long, bloody and ferociously brutal on both sides. Yet during the battle, Tora was battling an elite armored tiger warrior wielding a lance. The battle was fierce and frantic, yet the black tiger, already tired about by the long and grueling battle, lost concentration for a mere second and was stabbed right through the stomach twice. Leonidas saw this happen from a distance and charged at the armored beast, killing him with one well-placed swing to the head. Despite the chaos of battle surrounding him, the open space provided him a chance to cradle his dying friend in his arms. But before Leonidas had a chance to save him, several wolf assassins tried to kill the king while he was distracted, only to face his mighty wrath of his blade. Yet while he was distracted, Tora passed out on the battlefield, presumably dead from his injuries sustained. It was shortly after when the entire opposing army was forced to retreat despite still having the ability to overrun the entire fort. It was a bittersweet moment for King Leonidas, a day that will haunt him for the rest of his life. If only did the Lion King turn around quickly enough would he notice his body being pulled away by two Tigerian soldiers... [color=a0410d][b]Wish:[/b][/color] Leonidas simply wishes for eternal peace of his people back home, for both his kingdom Lionheart and the opposing Kingdom Tigerius' to simply coexist in harmony without war and bloodshed. [color=a0410d][b]Echo:[/b][/color] Leonidas' Castle is a calm and warming environment, coated with tan and bright gold and silver colors inside the main palace. It's fantasy-looking medieval styled look captivates many audiences with sturdy columns, looming archways, and stained glass windows producing a vibrant blue hue when light shines through it. In Leonidas' throne room, his throne, while impressively covered in gold metal and red velvet padding, isn't too daunting or flaunting much of his wealth and power, rather it produces a more humble feeling from within. Above the throne, hangs a painting of the Lionheart family through the years, from Leonidas' father, mother, and several siblings. [color=a0410d][b]Appearance:[/b][/color] Leonidas is a magnificent individual, standing at a giant height of 7'2". He simply looks like an anthropomorphic lion, with brown flowing hair making up his fur and mane running down his neck, along with white fur making up his under belly. He also sports amber-yellow eyes and an extremely muscular body. He normally wears a royal-red cape when in his castle, but also has light-armor on his shoulders and legs, the rest of his body being rather naked and exposed, save for the piece of cloth covering his groin. [color=a0410d][b]Frenzy:[/b][/color] In complete desperation and/or surged with righteous adrenaline of courage, Leonidas can transform into a magnificent [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/49/81/38/498138216b57020691234cb4f524b216.jpg]White Sabertoothed Lion[/url]. He stands at 15 meters tall, with saber-teeth as long as cutting knives, and has fur as white as pure snow. His power increases as he becomes more primal and animalistic, engaging his enemy with ruthless aggression and intense power. Even his eyes can unleash a yellow beam of light that can pierce through strong armor. And wherever he goes, a trail of bright trickling yellow light always follows him around.
