My Name Is...
I am Syngal, lord over all and answerable to no one but the unknown powers who created life itself. It is a surprise that you didn't already know my name, for I am the King of this very Jungle that we are currently in.
I Am Known As...
I am called by many names, the most pleasing ones being Jungle Overlord, Savannah King, Swift Death - for those who dare oppose me are bested quickly in battle -, and Silent Assassin.
Jungle Overlord and Savannah King suit me to the letter, for I am the king and overlord of the jungles and savannahs.
Swift Death was the name a long-dead opponent called me in the final moments before his death, as my jaws were crushing his jugular - the main artery that transports your lifeblood around your body. It hadn't even been a minute after the fight started when he was caught in my death hold, so that was a pretty reasonable name to call me.
Silent Assassin is the name I'm called the most, usually used by the many prey animals of the savannahs that I rule. With my sandy-gold fur, I blend easily into the long golden grass, and with my superb stalking skills, my lrey are usually dead before they even know what is going on.
My Gender? I Am A...
I am a male. How anyone could think otherwise is unknown to me. Look at my mane! Only males have this mane of mine...okay fine. I admit it. I don't have much of a mane, but its still clear that I'm a male with my body size and stature.
My Species? I Am A...
I am a geniune Liger, though some may call me a Tigon. I was born of a lion father and a tiger mother, thus resulting in my lion-like head and torso and my tiger-like body. Well, I said lion-like head and torso, but due to the tiger genes in me, my mane has only been able to grow up to the size you currently see.
This Is Me...
I am a proud liger, for that is what my brothers and parents have been like sinxe eons past. After all, why should I not be? The history of my family has been noble and brave, and many look up to me and my kin for safety and order. And similarly to my family, I am also brave. Nothing can, and nothing will, stop me from heading off to wherever I want, to do whatever I want, even if I want to go to the most dangerous of places that can be found anywhere in the world. And these dangerous places are places which I do go to, for only the sense of danger that they bring can truly soothe my soul.
Some say that I am merciless, for I show no mercy in putting my enemies and all who oppose me to their final rest. The few who have called me merciless and cruel are dead as well, or at least, the ones who called me that openly are. And due to this series of happenings, I have even heard tell that I am known as a heartless beast. Of course, the ones who have called me such are dead as well.
I am solitary at heart, for mine is a loner's personality, and I stay alone unless a there is a situation where I must step in to maintain my rule over my kingdom. I am not one to engage in all the petty love-making and fun that most creatures my age divulge in, for I am practical, and do things only if they will benefit me in the future. As such, I have never felt the love of any creature other than my long-dead mother's, and I have given none.
Take A Look Into My Past...
I was born to a family of high status - my father, the lion, was the Overlord of all the prides in the surrounding territory that spanned over a hundred miles wide, while my mother, the tiger, was High Queen of the jungles that were found in the edges of my father's territory. And it was all of this land that I would inherit, the moment my mane started growing and my voice started deepening. To my parents, I was the precious cub who would become the next ruler of their respective kingdoms, and the first to rule the combined realms of forest and savannah. But to everyone else, I was the one who held the key to their freedom from the ruling of my parents, for if my life were to be lost, there would no longer be a heir to the throne. As such, my life as a cub was filled with numerous assassination attempts, executions, and the lessons that came with being the only son of a ruling pair.
As I reached the age of adolescence, the many attempts on my life lessened considerably, for I had made allies of the most influential powers in the kingdoms I was to inherit. With the loyalty of the swift cheetahs and loyal african wild dogs of the savannah to the strong elephants and cunning leopards of the jungle, I had secured myself a position where I would be able to rise to power without much problems. Of course, in order to gain the loyalty of these powerful forces within the kingdom, I'd had to make friends with the sons and daughters of the leaders. This friendship was held close and cherished by the ones my parents ruled, for it gained them a better life and higher position if power for as long as I called them a friend. To me, however, these friendships were nothing more than political alliances, for I had never gained the heart of kindness and friendship. The only heart I had was one of cruel cunningness and pride.
However, all the powers I had gained proved for naught, as my parents were murdered in their sleep hardly a week after I had been officially announced as heir. Perhaps I should have felt sad and grieved for the ones who brought my life into the world, but I was only able to feel a sense of gratefulness to the ones who had ended my parents' lives, for it enabled me to become the ruler right away. And that was how my early life was like, as I ascending to the position of Overlord and Ruler of the savannahs and jungles - a life lacking of love and kindness, but filled to the brim with death and cruelty.
Listen Once More...
Now that I've told you all there is to know about me, it's time for me to get back to work. There are battles to be fought, creatues to punish. I do not know what has gotten into me today, for I usually do not talk this much, not especially to a stranger who has invaded my territory. Perhaps its because today is the death anniversary of my parents, who passed on slightly under a decade ago, or perhaps it was this very day 3 years ago that I had finallly crushed the ones who opposed my ruling. No matter what the reason, I have said what I did, and I do not regret it. Use the information you have learned however you want, but know that it will mot gain you any advantage if you were planning to take over my kingdom. I have said enough now - dusk is fast approaching - and it is high time for you the leave. And as you do, carve into your memory that you will be killed if I catch you stepping onto my land again, and this time, I will personally ensure that you will end up the same way that those who've opposed me before have ended up.
