The Outside and the In
Face Claim/PB
Jason Momoa
Appearance: Dark hair, dark skin, dark everything. Taka, even after shifting, looks much like a feral beast. His hair is wild and to tame it he has to put it into a long braid down his back. The dark, thick dreads are only left loose once in awhile. His beard is long and just a unkempt as his hair.
Taka's eyes are a wonder to behold. Admist his dark complexion two bright orbs stick out. The yellow-green spheres didn't change. They're the same as they were when he was a lion. They're still shifty and untrustworthy. A thin scar runs over his left eye, Taka can't remember how he got it though.
The nails of Taka are quite disturbing. They're long, pointed, and sharp. He doesn't like to cut them, he enjoys feeling like a wild beast. The way he seems to slither and slide about, rather like a cunning snake.
As for clothes Taka likes to dress like a native African, like a tribal man. It suits him and his muscular frame well. At home he enjoys to lounge around shirtless, with only sweat pants on. He enjoys to be comfortable.

Personality: "Well, as far as brains go, I've got the lion's share, but when it comes to brute strength...I'm afraid I'm at the shallow end of the gene pool." Taka is as mean as he was as a lion. Cunning, that's what he is. Taka could trick even the most clever of people and he takes advantage of this skill. Taka believes that he is the only one who matters. He'll take everything he can get, even if someone else needs it far more than he does.
Taka lacked physical strength as a lion. However, as a human he's stronger than most. What was weak for a lion is really quite the brute for a human. It helps that Taka enjoys to go for a nice, refreshing swim or even a jog. Even though he's both clever and strong Taka isn't well liked. Something about him comes off as very rude and others don't like to spend time with him.
He's an unhappy man and it shows. He's really quite the grump and he's still upset that his brother got to be king but he didn't. Taka never understood why his brother was better than he was. Mufasa was always better at everything. He was stronger, smarter, far better looking, and he was their father's favorite. Taka still holds a grudge against his brother as a matter of fact.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Right Up to that Key Moment
History: Taka was always a greedy little cub. His anger often controlled him and he had a hard time dealing with it. One time he argued with a water buffalo. The beast got mad and attacked Taka. Luckily his father, Ahadi, was there to save him. Taka was left with a permanent scar over his eyes though. Taka decided he had to control his anger and requested the others called him Scar from now on.
When his brother was chosen to be the heir Taka's anger got the better of him once again. He and his brother became distant from each other, fighting more than siblings should. Scar was not happy when his nephew, Simba, was born. Scar had been waiting so desperately for his turn to be king. He plotted his revenge, he planned to murder Mufasa and drive Simba out of town.
Scar killed his brother mercilessly, young Simba as a witness. Simba knew his father was dead but did not understand that it was by Scar's hands (or should I say paws). Simba ran away and Scar became king of the Pridelands at long last.
Simba eventually returns and fights Scar. the elder lion fights well but is defeated. Right as he is certain that his death has come there is a blinding flash of light, then everything is black. He remembers his whole life, though bits and pieces of it are foggy. He remembers 99% percent of his life as clear as day. However his days with Zira, the love of his life, are hard to remember. He can remember her crimson eyes and silky pur but not much else.

Key Moment: The battle between the Pridelanders and the hyenas at the end of the movie.

A Roleplaying Shift
RP Sample:
The light nearly blinded Scar, he tucked his head down and closed his eyes tight. Next thing he knew everything was calm. Birds were chirping once more and the lion opened his eyes. Simba was no longer there. Instead Taka was laying on a blanket of soft, green grass. He stared up at the sky overhead, the beautiful blue sky. Taka wasn't sure what was happening so attempted to get to his feet. His loud gasp sounded throughout the empty woods. His paws! They were gone! Instead he had fleshy fingers in their place, he knew them to be the paws of humans. With a quick glance over his body he found that he was a human! A naked one at that.
"Ahem,"
Taka turned, his eyes meeting those of a wrinkly faced woman. "Who are you," he snarled, "and what's going on here?" He motioned to his body. Although he missed his lion form he could't help but notice how muscular he is.
"My name is not important," the woman said in a brisk tone, "what's important is your name."
Taka raised an eyebrow, "I am Taka," he said slowly, "and may I repeat my question: what is going on here?" Scar examined the nails, more like claws, on his fingers. He was not at all afraid of this tiny woman. And, since he wasn't used to wearing clothes, he wasn't slightly phased by being naked. The elderly woman thrusted a black robe his direction though.
"Clothe yourself," she said, just as briskly as before.
Taka did as she asked, awkwardly trying to figure out how to use his limbs. He put the robe on and attempted to take a wobbly step, nearly falling to the ground.
"It'll take some getting used to," the woman said, "walking I mean. But that's beside the point, do you know anything about your past life?"
"I remember it all," Scar replies, raising his eyebrow once more. "Who are you?"
"I'm a staff member of the Tenebrae," the woman replies, a few strands of hair have come loose from her bun, "and I'm here to help you the best I can."

Tell us a Little About Yourself: Hey, I'm Marissa. I'm 13 and I live in Wisconsin with my family. I have two brothers and a sister. I'm one of the younger of the two middle children. We currently own two dogs, two cats, two ferrets, three goats, a guinea pig, and a humongous goldfish. I'm pretty sure he ate our other goldfish and that's how he got so big.
I'm currently in eight grade, I don't like school although I'm good at it. I'm a loud, obnoxious kid at school but once I go home I'm a different person. I curl up with a good book or my laptop on my lap. I love to write fan fiction of all sorts and role play. I'm almost finished with my current fan fiction. Usually I give up on them half way through so I'm very proud.
