Personality wrote:Killian is confident but care-free. He prefers to lay around all day rather than help Coffin with fights or banishments. He has a deep fear of fighting, but is even more scared of being beat. He doesn't hide his fears or emotions, and instead keeps himself an open book. If asked about how he is feeling, expect him to tell you everything on his mind.
History wrote:Killian didn't get much attention as a cub, but he never minded because he had games he could play by himself. He enjoyed his life in his father's pride. But one night, Coffin came to him and said they were leaving to make their own pride. They'd talked about it before, but he'd never really believed that they would actually form a pride. But Killian tagged along, and together him and his brother Coffin formed a pride near a human route on the reserve. They gathered lions, and their pride flourished, though Killian didn't give himself much credit for it.
One day, Killian was out on a walk around the territory when he found a lioness named Silver Sky and her cubs. It was love at first sight for him. He brought her back to the pride and asked his brother to allow her to stay, and he did. Silver Sky had been in the pride for about a week when Coffin came to him and confided about his feelings for the lioness. Killian, whom had always felt like Coffin walked all over him because of his size, was furious and told Coffin that he loved her. They fought, Killian talking about how Coffin could have any lioness he wanted because he was a leader, but he, the small and weak brother, would be lucky if anyone ever showed an interest, and how Coffin should let him "have" Silver Sky. The fight ended with the two ignoring each other, and a measly two days later, Silver Sky lost her cubs.
Killian decided to let the lioness mourn her losses before he tried to make his move- but Coffin ignored the deaths and started to pamper Silver Sky. A month later, they were mates. The night that Coffin announced it, Killian found Silver Sky and told her everything. She told him he was sweet and would be a good mate, but she was in love with Coffin. Killian was filled with hope when Silver Sky commented about him, and a few days later he challenged Coffin. He said that if he won the fight, Silver Sky would be his mate. If he loss, he'd leave the territory. Coffin accepted the challenge, and beat Killian within seconds. Humiliated, Killian left the pride and the reserve to try and live in the forest.
The first few days were alright. He learned to hunt for himself and didn't run into much trouble. But on the fifth day he ran into a group of hunters. He was sure that he wouldn't make it out of there alive, when a lioness appeared from no where. She attacked a hunter, and while the humans were recovering, led Killian to safety. He soon learned that her name was Nanelia. Nanelia allowed Killian to stay at her den. She taught him how to defend himself from hunters and other lions, as well as how to hunt more efficiently. One day after one of their mentoring sessions, Killian thought he should get to know Nanelia better, so he asked her about her past. She told him a bit of random info then asked him why he was out in the forest. Killian told her about Coffin and Silver Sky, and how he'd lost a fight to his brother and left the territory. By the end of his story, Nanelia was furious. She told him to go back to his brother and quit hiding. She yelled at him so much that he eventually gave in and told her he'd go back. So the next day they both left, Nanelia insisting that she come along. When they reached the reserve, news of what had happened to Coffin reached them, and they soon found him and Silver Sky. The two were weak, so they hunted for them until they were strong. It was Killian who pitched the idea of taking back the pride. His brother agreed that they needed to take their home back, so the four of them set out. Together, the brothers took back the pride.
