Name:
Okuda
Age:
Adult
Gender:
Male
Species:
Hyena
Eye Color:
Amber
Fur Color:
Charcoal Gray
Mane Color:
Dark Slate Gray
Special Markings:
- Numerous deep scars across his throat, maw, and neck
- Mottled black spots sparsely dispersed across his fur
Physical Description:
Okuda is an intimidating figure. He easily stands taller than the largest adult male lions, and his build is stocky and muscular. Despite his size, he is incredibly quick. He also has an infamous temper and is a seasoned hunter and fighter. Past fights with lions have riddled his features and throat with innumberable scars; because of a scrap early in his life with a male lion, Okuda's voice box is damaged, resulting in his voice's deep, low, and almost whisper-like tone. As a result, his howl is haunting and eerie, sounding like the rush of a cold and billowing wind.
Personality:
Dark, gruff, severe, quiet, secretive, just, patient, cold, intelligent, observant, driven, and direct.
History:
Okuda's always had a difficult life. He was the only cub of a pair of outcast hyenas in a neighbouring prideland. Scrounging for themselves, the hyenas taught their son the value of the hunt and to always persevere, regardless of the challenges ahead of him.
However, while hunting one night, the pride of lions confronted the family of hyenas. Cruelly and without provocation, they attacked the hyenas, killing Okuda's parents right in front of his eyes. The young hyena grew enraged and attacked the leader of the pride, only to be defeated and left gravely wounded. Okuda survived by playing dead, and when the lions left, escaped by summoning his remaining strength and retreating to the outskirts of the pridelands.
By sheer determination, Okuda persevered and made a full recovery. Fueled by revenge, the young hyena taught himself to hunt, observing the tactics of other predators. He emphasized the 'thrill of the hunt', outright refusing to 'degrade' himself to eating carrion. It was during this time that he met and befriended the lone vulture, Karani.
In a few short years, Okuda had become a behemoth of a creature. He returned to the pridelands of the lions that killed his parents and exacted his revenge; single-handedly, he slayed the entire pride.
Now, Okuda has come to these pridelands. His alignment is unknown; despite his hatred towards lion supremacy, he holds high respect for the nature of the hunt and the Circle of Life. Evidently, this differentiates him from his hyena brethren, who Okuda sees as 'inferior' and 'disrespectful.' With his only companion Karani accompanying him, Okuda plans to find himself a place in these new lands--by force if necessary.
