The male stands 4.3 feet and weighs 520 pounds. Although not the biggest, he is still fairly large, his brains and muscles making up for his lack of height. Asim is a muscular lion, his legs and body full of them. His pelt is a darker tan, his mane being perhaps his best feature.
His mane is divided into four colours. The first, found at the top of his head, is an orange, rusty brown. The second colour a light tan, nearing white, the third being a lighter brown, and finally, the last being a dark brown. Asim is a handsome male, one full of elegance and power.
Upon his face rests several colours as well. A dark tan makes up for most of his face, but upon his muzzle also remains an orange colour that fades on his cheeks. It appears as if Asim has a unique marking there, topped off with white on his chin and around his nose. His eyes are an amber, and his scent was once smokey, but now metallic from blood.
Asim had a few scars prior, but after the fight, he has several gashes and wounds littering his body. Some are small, others are fairly large and risk being infected. He is also carrying a limp due to his shoulder being harmed when fighting.
Personality: Asim, when in the pride, was known to be loud and passionate, as well as a good storyteller. He would tell stories to the cubs, play with them, teach them things. You see, Asim, was very much active in the pride, doing whatever he could to assist the lionesses and amuse the cubs. He would do whatever was asked of him without a complaint. Asim was very much a pride lion, and he showed respect in every action he did.
He was a gentle beast, one full of kindness. He was always one to wish good upon everyone, and was never one to be rude. Asim was fun-loving and a free spirit, always finding fun in small tasks and conversing with anyone he saw. However, he was also professional when needed. Asim knew when to be serious and when to be himself. He was never one to grow angry over things, and in an argument, he would be the first to apologize.
But that was before the others came.
Now, Asim is a very different lion. While he never used to grow angry, now he is furious. A deep anger sparked within him, full of hatred. He never wished another anything bad, but now he finds himself hoping those new males would suffer like he is. Asim wishes they would spend each waking day struggling and in pain. His compassion has deteriorated, as did his kindness.
The male is now grumpy, no longer his cheerful self. He sees disgust and frustration in everything encountered, and has grown aggressive. In truth, he simply needs something to take his anger out on. Lately, he's been taking it out on himself. All of his will to survive has decreased as well. He no longer cares about much, and he no longer smiles. Now, Asim is simply angry, hurt, and broken.
But there is a part of him that is determined. He wants revenge. He wants his pride back. He wants his rank back. He didn't like how it was taken from him, and he didn't like how he didn't fight harder. Asim has so much anger in him, that that is what's fueling him forwards. He will get the pride back, or die trying.
Crush: He and Kijakazi had been courting
Mate: None
Offspring: None anymore. His first litter would be deceased.
Kin: Shomari, the deceased king, would have been his brother.
