The little boy, he is
mine.
His name is Raphael.
Jacques- Father
Personality:
Calm; Pacifistic; Protective; Hard-Working; Slightly Broken; Skilled; Diligent; Difficult
Being the adopted son of Rohnin, the head warrior under Aeon, has never been easy for Jacques. He has always felt the need to be better and work harder than he should just to prove himself to his adoptive father. This comes hard to him, as he is usually a pacifist and does not really understand his element yet. As a cub, when he would try to play with the occasional insect or what ever could live in his home, he would accidentally kill it from shock. He never really liked being a bearer of psychic abilities, seeing how he cannot rarely look at someone and not see memories from their past. He holds a deep resentment of his element, but a deep respect as well. He has never intended to harm anyone with it.
Jacques is rather reserved and quiet, only ever speaking his mind when he feels it necessary or when it is wanted. Most informations have to be pried from him if another's rank is not as high as his or higher. Even then, if your rank is the same, it is fairly hard to get things from him. Despite being a laid back warrior, his temper is fiery. One would not want to be on his bad side or be around him when he is in a mood. It would also be ill advised to threaten his family or talk them down in any way. Things most certainly would not end well. These occasions are fairly rare, though, seeing how his parents are well respected.
He is not very close to his adoptive siblings or adoptive mother, or his adoptive father for that fact, seeing how he always tried to impress his 'father'. He is hoping to be able to grow closer to them, though, and to be able have an actual relationship with them other than just having been raised by them. This task is a difficult one for him. Jacques has never been one for close relations and changing that now will be like trying to break an old habit.
After Aeon's death, he began trying even harder to be a good warrior. He was forced to accept that he had to fight and spill blood. He began showing more frequently to training and began working harder in battle. Ronin's death brought him down hard. Other than Aurora, his 'father' was the only other lion he was close to. Jacques mourned for years, withdrawing from social events and the pride all together. Eventually, though, he began opening back up. Still, though, there was a reservation about him.
As a Parent:
Proud; Doting; Overly-Protective; Playful
While Jacques is not the best parent, he is a good parent. He loves his cubs dearly and deeply. He would want no harm to come to them and would fight their fights for them if he could. He knows he cannot, though. He allows them to grow and develop and have their own experiences, though he may follow them on any adventures they have to make sure they are safe.
He dotes over them as though they were gods. He loves being with his cubs and mate and loves playing with them. He praises them on everything positive they do and points out their talents. He is overly protective of them, which can cause some tensions, but he is only wanting to make sure no harm comes to his loved ones.
Raphael- Brother
Personality:
He is- in personality- nearly identical to his mother. He loves the thrill of the fight and cannot accept defeat. Not to mention he is the king at holding a grudge. While he is a loyalist, he walks a fine line due to his ambitions. Nothing can sway him from his choices, and he's seriously sassy. He loves teasing his siblings and poking fun at them. That's just how he shows he loves them.
He is rude, cocky, brash and tries to push as many buttons as he can. He is very teachable, though, as he wants to learn and is a quick learner. He's just a huge smart aleck and likes pushing buttons. He brags, a lot, and is really just a jerk. He will either be a prison guard who goes after the criminals or a fighter.
As a Sibling:
Hael- pronounced ale- is a terrible sibling, really. He is pushy and always poking fun at his sisters or teasing them in some way. He throws his weight around and often 'plays' too hard with them. This gets him in trouble a lot, which makes his ears burn, but he isn't going to change that. Taunting his sisters is what he does best.
He is super protective of them, however, and if another lion- other than himself- were to threaten them, he would be the first to jump to their aid. He teases them and such, certainly, but at the end of the day he loves his sister's fiercely and will let nothing come to harm them.
