| − | | + | |
| − | =Personality=
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Lion Heart is a very jolly middle aged man who loves to give people nicknames and joke with them. Very charismatic and friendly, he's made a reputation for himself in Westside and Downtown Millenium City as both the most affordable and highest recommended babysitter, and is known by the public for his ability to turn into a Lion Man.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Political==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Lion Heart is more of a centralist and usually votes for the person with the most charisma and ideas, regardless of party. He loves to partake in debates and frequently reads the magazines of the main conflicting parties to understand both sides of the story before taking a side...Talk to him every now and then about your political views if you want a friendly, philosophical chat. Despite his open-mind, he does have some Qualms with recent trends, though they are largely just small things rather than opposing the idea entirely.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Religion==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Despite his powers stemming from a religious route, Lion Heart is not entirely religious in that he doesn't go to church or celebrate religious holidays, though he has been known to identify as a Catholic at times, though usually follows a self taught code of ethics formed from years of reading and thinking.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | =Abilities=
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Lion's Pride''': Given his namesake, Lion Heart has the strength, speed, and reflexes of a Lion, all of it wrapped up into a bipedal form, though he will move long distances on all fours. He fights with a mix of standing on four legs and two, switching various stances to better evade and confound any and all opposition with a form of mixed martial arts only he could pull off to full effect. His enhanced roar has been known to literally knock people on their feet with the sheer force of it on their bodies and minds, and has sent seasoned fighters crying like little girls and even made a metahuman 'mess their pants' in terror.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Two Gun Mojo''': Given he has thumbs unlike an actual lion, he also uses some gun-play via two gold colored Desert Eagles, engraved with the images of Lions on the handles...as to how he acquired them is still rather unknown, though if you asked him he'd probably tell: He get's paid well for Babysitting. No seriously, it's crazy!
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOnKQ63EEFo PEW PEW!]''': Yes, Lion Heart has laser beam vision. He can't explain it, nor can his enemies but it has come in handy for opening stubborn locks, interrogating gang members, as well as entertaining children...also he jokingly believes the previous cartoon clip is racist.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Wise Man''': Lion Heart has the IQ of a man who's studied many various topics, as such is a great source of information of things Vegetable Animal or Mineral. He knows the Kings of England and he quotes the fights historical, from Marathon to Waterloo in order categorical. From Science to Theology, Mythology to Philosophy, Math and Poetry, he's gained his intelligence through a long period of self taught study and has tempted the thoughts of learning things more Medical or sprouting from his passion of babysitting into things like Security and Detective Work.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Leader of the Pride''': People often look to him for guidance due to his charisma and open mind...whether he's a good leader outside his lion form is subject to debate due to his otherwise frail and old appearance, but as a Lion Man he commands a presence over others, and it helps him in his job as a babysitter (that and being fuzzy and all)...also cats follow him around much to his annoyance.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | =Weaknesses=
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''A Man in a Lion's Body''': When transformed into his Lion Form, if the pendant is somehow removed from his presence he will be stuck in the form that he's in. If taken from him in his own (Human) body he is fairly weak and easily beaten, but when stuck in his magical (Lion Man) body, he is forced to go his day to day AS a Lion Man until he can get the amulet back, which could spark panic in the uninformed populace (Only a niche group of civilians know about him) and inevitably bring scorn to him by the people he protects, potentially even being targeted by other heroes mistaking him for some sort of Rampaging Lion Manimal.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Social Butterfly''': Lion Heart LOVES talking and making friends, to the point where starting a topic in conversation can be distracting...A smooth enough criminal could easily talk his way out of 'Death by Lion' and use the chattering as a way to escape, though most criminals he deals with aren't of that sort luckily...Some of them don't talk at all!
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Lion's Mind''': While he has great control over it, when in his Lion Form he has a second conscious: that of a REAL Lion...if the event came where he was heavily enraged or badly injured in a real battle (as compared to his normal activities of stopping simple muggings and the sort) the Lion's mind can and most likely WILL take over, leaving him as a feral super lion until he can be calmed, killed, or sedated.

| − | | + | |
| − | ==So it Begins...==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Thomas Richardson was your average High School Student with a passion for history. Especially the battles! Oh the battles! His favorite were the stories of knights and chivalry as well as the crusades, so when his college professor began talking about a trip to the Middle East and Jerusalem, 'Thomas' was the first name on the list. Having saved up money as his side job as a bouncer, he found it well worth the trip when they arrived, however every night after a trip of visiting the sights, he kept having visions...at first he thought they were just dreams of the battles that must have occurred on this ground so many years ago, but it felt as if he was IN them, with a man in a beard and armor with the image of a lion on it holding a hand out saying: "Remember who you are?".
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | One day however when he went out exploring the temple he stumbled upon a hidden passageway. In his curiosity he journeyed down to find an old tomb, with the carving of a man as the tomb's lid. around the man's neck was a Ruby and Gold pendant...and the only thing in the room not covered in dust. In reaching out to touch it, the figure of a lion swirled into view inside the Ruby and he felt himself change. Upon looking at himself in the pendant's reflection, found himself looking at the head of a lion...and a lion's claws, a lion's tail. Panicking he touched the stone again and watched as he reverted back to his own body, a disembodied voice calling out into his head, "Remember who you are?". He felt himself nod to the voice as if he really DID know, though when his mind went back to the past dreams he realized he was seeing his past life:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | He had been a footman serving with King Richard, and had been cursed and subsequently killed by his fellows when he greedily took hold of a pendant- the very pendant now in his hand. He grimaced at that thought before looking back at his (current) life: he'd help others...he'd been doing it all his (current) life, but with this pendant, he'd have the opportunity to help even more people. he could be a superhero like those in the comic books! Excited he stuffed the pendant in his pocket and returned to his professor to show him what he'd found. However upon his touching the pendant, his professor turned into an animal as well, one that reflected what was in his heart: In other words his professor turned into a Pigman.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Not sure what that meant, he hastily fled the scene, Finding his way back Stateside through less than exemplary means and moved to Detroit where he started volunteering at a library and babysitting.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ...and to those wondering, his professor had been recently caught having been in an affair with some (yes, multiple at once.) of his students, and had used the the field trip to escape before he could be fully prosecuted. As to how he pulled such an escape off is not fully known.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==The Lion Man of the Millennium==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | After Dr. Destroyer's Attack on Detroit he moved away for some time before returning to Millenium City, continuing his Babysitting and started to help heroes throughout, but mainly in Westside where he combats petty crime and speaks at schools as 'The Lion Hearted Samaritan'.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Current==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Babysitting and fighting crime, yo!
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | =Photographic Evidence=
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | -Pictures of the 'Laser Lion' will be put up here If I decide I have any that are good or important enough-
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | =Relations=
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Strangers/Acquaintances==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''[[Chivalry]]''': When Chivalry was injured in by an unknown sniper when fighting a rampaging monster in Westside, Lion Heart crawled into the room while the sleeping man recovered, and stood guard until morning, where he disappeared through the window. Whether or not Chivalry knows this isn't known to Richardson.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''[[Danger Deer]]''': Lion Heart jokingly calls him 'Dinner' or 'A Light Snack', but has no real interactions with him otherwise...though appears to be a fan.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Other than the above, Lion Heart has spoken to various heroes over the CRP, but has not really communicated with any enough to be worth mentioning here.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Enemies==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Professor Swine''': Richardson's former professor was trapped in his form of a Pig Man when shown the Amulet of Symbolism, who has used his extensive knowledge in the field of science to less than righteous means, having worked with both VIPER and Dr. Moreau, the latter in an effort to find a cure to reverse his transformation. His Professor's whereabouts or recent actions are not known to Lion Heart.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Friends==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Westside Families''': His wholesome values, kindness, and love of children have gained him many friends with people for whom he's babysat and is often heard form children as being their role model. He hopes that when they get older they'll avoid the fouler aspects of Westside and stay in school rather than join a gang.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Downtown Families''': His same traits have garnered him recent attention to higher class families in the downtown area, where he's also started to babysit children.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Children''': Even if he hasn't babysat them, children seem to like him for his jolly nature, love of jokes, and enjoy to pull his thick hair. (Either his Big Red beard in his human form or his fiery mane when a Lion Man) He often carries around lollipops for children who talk to him at the park, where he can be frequently found reading or writing poetry, or feeding bread crumbs to pigeons. Yeah he's like that. Yes few are afraid to have their Children walk up to him.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''[[Nightfang]]''': While she doesn't necessarily think of him as a friend, Lion Heart takes great amusement in teasing her and is in fact the person to give her the nickname 'Phillis' wherein she didn't give him her 'handle'. The nickname is used mostly by [[Proud Patriot]] however, but has caught on to other heroes on the CRP Channel, much to her disdain and to his pleasure.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | He enjoys how her nickname for him 'Laser Lion' Hasn't taken off as well as Phillis has for her, but he openly accepts the name and has openly stated that he will answer to any nickname given to him.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | =Word of Mouth (Character Thoughts)=
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Got something to say about Millennium City's Favorite (and only) Laser Beam Crusader Lion King Man? Good or Bad, peak now or forever hold your peace!
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | =RP HOOKS=
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | - Is Available for hire if any of your superheros have kids that need tending to. Kids love the super fuzzy Lion Man!
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | - Got a hero who does small time work in Westside who needs some backup? Why don't you ask the infamous 'Laser Lion'?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | - Looking for someone to sit down and have a nice, philosophical/Political talk with? Or maybe you have a problem and want an unbiased opinion on what to do? Lion Heart's your guy!
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | - Are you a villain? If you've seen him you should get into the car. >:3
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | - Are you the dark, mysterious type? You might want to avoid Lion Heart, unless you want him to annoy you, mess with your head, and/or give you a New Name Like [http://primusdatabase.com/index.php?title=Nightfang 'Phillis'] if you don't tell him your handle.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | =Trivia=
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | - The original idea behind the alt wasn't specifically a Lion, but to make an anthropomorphic character who wasn't a Werewolf, Shark Headed, Cat Girl, Bear/Toad/Vulture/Rat/Deer or anything that could be created with conventional pieces, nor could their backstory be a manimal. I had ideas for creating a Robotic Rhinocerous but lacked viable parts until the Roin'Esh set, but when I saw the Werewolf (original) head- I knew what I had to do. The other Idea eventually manifested itself as the upcoming alt '''Robo Steed'''.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | - The player of Lion Heart's first name is Richard, but this is merely coincidental to Lion Heart's last name: Richardson. It is meant as a reference to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_I_of_England King Richard I The Lion Heart], as is his Superhero Handle.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | - The Amulet of Symbolism (as Richardson calls it, it's true name if any isn't known.) is activated by resting a hand on the Ruby for two seconds, then retracting it. After lifting one's hand from it's surface the silhouette of an animal representing who they are. To prevent accidentally turning people into Humanoid animals, he keeps it firmly tucked under his beard in his human form, and securely veiled by his mane in Lion Man Form.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | - In his Lion Form he has the Strength and Aggression of a Male Lion, but also has the Hunting and tracking skill of a female Lion, all wrapped up into a male form...thankfully, in his eyes.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | - No, his favorite movie is NOT ''The Lion King'', though he does like the movie (He thinks Pumba has a ''deliciously'' clever personality.). His favorite movie is the first [i]Dragonheart[/i], the one with Shawn Connery...The Second movie never happened...and no: his Nemesis will NOT be a Lion with a black mane and a scar on his face, nor is that lion man his uncle.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | - Is a fan of the following Superheroes: [[Chivalry]], [[Nightfang]], and oddly enough [[Danger Deer]].
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | - No he does not like fish. Or Yarn. And Yes: he hates the musical ''Cats'' just like everyone else...screw you Andrew Lloyd Weber!
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | - Has a strange disdain for cat people or those people who dress up as cat people, and will jokingly refer them all 'Phonies'. Yes his favorite book is ''Catcher in the Rye''.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | - He is NOT a cat person. He likes dogs and owns an Austrailian Shepard who is oddly enough used to seeing his master transform into a giant afro cat.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | - Is actually AFRAID of Lions, stemming from a childhood incident where a Circus Lion escaped when he was at the carnival, and locked himself in a bathroom stall until it was sedated...this could explain why he's usually in his lion form while babysitting, to help children not to be afraid of lions...that and they just love how FUZZY he is.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | - Lion Heart was the first Alt of @Showermonster to see a re-hash, turning him from a young jokster of a collegebound man, into a scholarly middle aged man with a love of life...and giant beard. The second Alt is [[Light Brigade]]. [[Robo Steed]] is next, and also pending a new name.
