Description
[EDIT] Joined 19th of March [/]She's not beauty, she's grace, she'll bite off your face-
Yeeessss I'm bringing in Mpingo! She's my bae, and it's time to explore her in an RP group. This Mpingo has been designed to look different enough from my normal one without it being odd. For example, she's lighter, her chin is shorter, ear rims, and she's a lil less scruffy. BUT She holds down the stripe, the eyes, ect.
Name: Mpingo
Meaning: Swahili for Ebony (It is also a form of tree, again, being an ebony)
Age: Adult (7)
Gender: Female
Sexual orientation: Unknown
Pride: Sizani Pride (Soldier)
Appearance: A bulking female, Mpingo is quite scruffy lioness with some scratches along her body. She has a small one on her head, received from banging her head against a rock. On her right cheek, are 4 slashes, though only two can be seen in the reference.
Personality:
+ Protective; Especially over other's deemed weak, either due to disabilities or age.
+ Loyal; If you have won her respect and loyalty, you have it for life. She will fight, kill and die for you. She'll take a bullet for you.
+ Brave; If she has to jump into a river full of croc's to save one cub, she will.
* Realistic; She will see a situation and speak the truth, good or bad. She may sometimes appear too pessimistic though.
* Authoritative: She stand's strong, stands tall. She is respectful over those she deems worthy, but any she does not she is not afraid to present herself a strong lioness.
- Aimless/Purposeless: At least, she feels that way. After leaving her home, she feels lost, that she has no purpose in this world. It often makes her somewhat daydream and become a bit distracted as she wander's into her thoughts and asks herself 'Do I have purpose?' (Sort of a existential crisis)
- Grump: Unapproachable, in some way. Her expression makes her seem miserable, to boot the fact she's often tired, and it makes her a grumpy individual. She can come across as, again, pessimistic, or even a bit bitter.
- Bad mouthed; She will swear, and she will spew a rainbow of curses towards you. Ranging from mild to downright awful. She will also not censor any stories she has, and she has a few gruesome ones...
Backstory:
War never does change, does it?
Mpingo was born to a General and Soldier, during troubled time. Her pride was known for their Army nature, and they were arguing with a pride who sought to invade the once green land. As tensions grew, so did the threat of war.
In her mid cubhood, the fated war began. Her parent's were busy, her mother in war and her father planning tactics, so it was unsure what to do with her. It was decided her father should take her often, as he was a further away from the action more then her mother, and so she would be safer.
From this she learnt his tactics, his plans and ideas, and, when he could find time, how to fight. She'd have to have learnt eventually, they needed soldiers as soon as possible, but her father decided she could be a back up General in case he should pass.
Thus she went under his wing, and learnt even more from him. Bruised, bloody and scarred, but it all helped. In no time at all, she learnt how to judge an enemy, how to plan an ambush, and how to defend herself.
When he felt she was prepared, he sent her out with his soldiers as Lieutenant. When they returned home, he would tell her, along with the pride leader, his plans, they would discuss and she would, the next day, execute it.
During this time, Mpingo's mother died during a patrol, making the fight to her more personal. She and her father had no time to mourn, thrown back into work and war. However, it seemed they were beginning to lose.
Especially when a low blow came.
While in battle, a small group managed to sneak around the pride and attack the leader and general. While the leader survived, his roars attracted some soldiers, the general did not. Mpingo was left to be the new one, to plan and take orders.
The leader was becoming desperate. Desperate enough to do some horrible acts, for the sake of winning. Perhaps driven mad too, by stress, he demanded the female to invade one of the camps; and kill all inside. No mercy, just everyone. Doing so, meant their number's would decrease and it would be a low blow. And despite her protests, she hated having to kill innocent's, he demand the plan be set, or she would be dead for treason.
That day haunts her even now. All of the war did, but this massacre of innocence truly stung the most.
She hated herself; she felt sick of everything, of everyone, and herself. She was a monster, a murderer, absolutely nothing. But she knew nothing else; follow orders.
Despite that effort, the rival pride won after ambushing the soldiers, and Mpingo, and spending their busy time killing the Leader. They were kept as War Prisoners, as well as trophy's for victory to taunt.
While they didn't know what was to happen next, but Mpingo had theories; a majority of the survivors were female, and no doubt there were bad number loss on this side too. But after capture, she had lost all hope. She laid alone, in silence, as her soldiers dreaded what unknown things were to come.
One night after a week or so of blue and silence, she found the courage, and encouraged her tiring lost for hope soldiers to fight for freedom. Killing some captors on the way, they broke free, and ran.
When she ran, she realized how dead her home once was. The war had ruined it, but now she just didn't care. Let them deal with it. Hopefully they'd die in it.
They wandered to find a new home. Mpingo found herself stricken with nightmares from the war, and found that despite the fact her land was dead, she felt meaningless without being in it. No purpose. Her group split off with her blessing; either having found a mate, or a nice pride or coalition to live with, and she continued on alone.
She found herself confronted, while exploring a mountain, by a soldier, whom took her to meet an oddly spotted female lion.
Mpingo spoke when asked questions, but didn't speak the whole truth.
Where was she from?
A home far away, once at war. A home now destroyed.
What was her rank?
...Soldier. Nothing more.
Not the Lieutenant turned General. She wanted to forget all those things.
However, she asked to join; she couldn't survive as a rogue for much longer, plus this pride reminded her much of home.
When her trial was done she was accepted and has lived there since. Her past is hidden, having not admitted to any of it...
Yet.
Other:
- She has nightmares about her past; as such she may be found wondering around at night trying to recover before heading back to bed.
- Her sexuality is unknown because she hadn't had the time to explore or even think about it.
- She finds the Sizani reminds her of her own pride, but she can't settle down enough to get rid of her purposeless feeling.
- The scratches on her body were wounds from war, the small scar on her head being when she hit a rock.
- She feels a guilty for not admitting to Imara what her real position was, but she feel's she's not a good general, plus her regret makes her hold it back.
- Mpingo was an active swimmer where she was, using it to think plans. (Can't now of course)
