Dis sexy boi~ He actually looks his age in the one that I didn't use a reference for |D

Name: Johari Azaan (yo-hah-ree) (ay-zahn)
Name meaning (what it means in English): Valuable Strength
Age: 11 moons
Gender: Male
Tribe: Sunning Rock
Rank: Hunter Tyro

Accessories: 2 stone earrings, 1 shell necklace and 1 stone pendent necklace. The longest one has a carved stone hanging from it. The stone has two African tribal symbols on it, one per side of the flat stone. The one on the left side (that looks like a flower or a butterfly) means "Freedom" and the one on the right (looks like an "S") means "Energy"

Personality: [Shy][Protective][Clever][Playful][Cocky]

[Shy]: Johari is generally a very quiet cat, especially around cats with a higher ranking than his own. A lot of cheetahs think this is just a form of respect, and some times it is. But especially with Chiefs or Tokens, he'll barely speak above a whisper and make brief eye contact. It isn't so bad with cats of his own age, although he'll usually come off as shy, he tends to warm up to younger cheetahs faster than adults.

[Protective]: His protective nature dominates his shyness, and if one of his friends or tribe mates is in danger, he'll risk his life to protect them. He's easily balanced on his hindlegs, and because of this, his defensive skills are acute. He'd make a great sentry, if he could fight. Defense is one thing, but his moves for attack are clumsy and slow. Of course, when he's hunting, he isn't quiet attacking, since he just needs to knock the prey off of its feet to get the advantage.

[Clever]: Johari makes up for his weaknesses by staying on his toes. He's able to figure out how to get himself out of sticky situations pretty well, and this helps him with hunting too. Since he isn't very good at foreward attack, he makes up for it by getting the jump on the animal and getting it to trip before he can take it down. He tends to leave claw marks on his prey's hindquarters if he's trying to get them onto the ground and doesn't quiet manage.

[Playful]: Once you get past his shy shell, Johari is a sweet heart once he warms up to a cat. Even as a tyro, he still enjoys acting like a cub from time to time and will act foolish around his friends when they're just hanging around. This is a rare side of Johari that only those closest to him get to see.

[Cocky]: Johari has a tendency of being full of himself, especially around his sister or members of another Tribe that he's trying to show up. He'll tell white lies about how he's the greatest hunter in Sunning Rock, or how he once brought down a whole zebra by himself. These of course, aren't true yet and hopefully he'll grow out of this trait.

Gift: Unknown

Brief History: Past Johari was born of a Crooked Tree she-cat named Kito in the Tyro's land along with his sister. Their father, Kafil, left for Sunning Rock before they were born, and neither of them had any idea who their father was. During the first moon of their lives, while moving dens, Johari and his sister were separated from Kito and became lost in the territory. Eventually, the two siblings became separated and while his sister was found by their mother, Johari was lost for another three days before he was found by a Sunning Rock female, named Hasina. This she-cheetah raised Johari in Sunning Rock, and though she acted as his surrogate, she raised him knowing he was adopted. This raised Johari's interest in who his real parents were, although he still loved Hasina. Before Johari was going to start his tyroship, Hasina sadly passed away after being bitten by a snake. Johari was devastated, and further intrigued to find his real parents, although he had no idea where to start looking, or how exactly he was going to be able to tell...

His early days as a Tyro were more often than not spent in the Healer's den. The first time he was taken out of the camp, he decided it was a good idea to stick his head in a burrow to see what lived down there, only to almost loose his eye to a very ticked off honey badger. A moon later, he was out during a thunder storm, and wanted to investigate a tree that had just been struck by lightening, unaware of a red hot branch that was sticking out as he peered around the singed bark, accidentally stabbing the branch into the interior of his ear, burning the skin and scarring the corner. To hide the awkward baldness, he pierced two hooped stones into the area.

Although Johari is still curious to who his family is, he focuses on his training the best he can, hoping that once his training is over, he may be able to meet his kin in the future.

Current Johari is distraught on the missing Uchafu, but is on friendly grounds with his father. He's also come out about his crush on Nyeusi and turns out the other tom had a secret liking for him too! This brought the two even closer as friends and possibly more...

Relationships:
= Respect
= Acquainted/Neutral
= Friend
= Good Friend
= Crush
= Love
= Discomfort
= Dislike
= Hate
= Family

Uchafu "Uchafu's my long lost sister, and I couldn't have asked for a better one. She's a little rough around the edges, but she's a blast to be around. Just hanging out and playing with her at the border is boosting my self confidence, and she's even teaching me some fighting moves."

Kafil "I've always had a respect for Chief Kafil. Finding out that he's my father doesn't change that...or the fact that I get a little nervous around him. I feel like now that I know he's related to me, I keep staring, picking out our similarities. I'm probably creeping him out, but that's the last thing I want to do..."

Nyeusi "Nyeusi's a fun guy. He's just tired of being seen as a cub and wants to be treated like the rest of his siblings. I may have stepped over the line a bit by taking him out of camp to hunt...twice. And I feel responsible for almost getting us both killed the second time...but I feel the next time we go on a hunt together, he'll be making his own nest in the Tyro's den. As ready as I am to become an Adult...I'd kinda like to spend more time with Nyeusi as a tyro. I feel like it'll boost our friendship, and me moving into the Hunter's den by myself is a little...unnerving..."

Roleplay Example (must be at least eight sentences AND must be of your character, not from another group):

There was a sudden explosion of noise on the Sunning Rock's side of the border as a gazelle thundered loudly toward the border, looking terrified as it sprinted, a golden cat on it's ankles. The cheetah swung a paw out at the gazelle, knocking its hind legs out from under it and causing it to stumble foreword. The gazelle bleated as the golden tom pounced on top of the creature, struggling to pin it to the ground, seeing how he was only a young cat, and the prey easily out weighed him. After a few seconds of tussling, the gazelle managed to get back on its hooves and prance away, leaving the tired cheetah in its dust. The tom sat there, panting to catch his breath before he snorted in frustration. "Crap…"

Family relationships:

Mother: Kito
Father: Kafil
Sister: Kikao Cha Uchafu

Anatomy Notes:

-The iris of his eyes are dark brown with a red glaze, which is why they look really red xD
-Has bald spot inside of his right ear from a little bit of a fire accident. Used two hoop earrings to help disguise the scar.
-Three scars over his right eye from a run in with a honey badger.
-Black mantle over back of head and neck. Genetic trait
