Regulus Lion

Description

Regulus's original form is a smallish lion, but he can shift between human, halfling, and lion form. He prefers to stay as a halfling, as that is the most human-looking one that requires less energy to maintain. In his lion from, he is about the size of a large panther and has a fluffy, golden mane inhabited by bits and pieces of fallen stars thus giving him a slight glow wherever he goes. His pelt is the color of the rising sun and has attracted many poachers to him as a result (another reason as to why he dislikes staying in lion form).

In his halfling form, he resembles a lithe, young human youth with messy golden hair and a pair of feline ears perching on top of his head. He also has a lion-like tail as an expansion of his spine. He has retractable claws for nails in this form.

In his human form, he has no claws, just regular finger nails. However, he keeps his supernatural senses, but they are slightly dampened. He also retains his lion-ish strength in his human form, but he may hurt himself while using his strength. At this stage, his hair is a yellow-blonde color and is not as messy as his halfling form.

Abilities
As stated above, Regulus is limited shapeshifter. He has extremely fast reflexes that is not unusual amongst his people. He also has retractable claws in both his lion and halfling form. Being a celestial creature, he can travel between spaces and universes with ease and has what it takes to raise stars. The stars that reside in his mane is also another asset to his abilities. Not only do they keep his life force running, but they are also worth a hell of a lot of money and can be planted to grow new stars. They are also excellent last resort explosives. It is not recommended to use them as grenades, though.

While one of the reasons for that is they are highly destructive, the main reason Regulus dislikes plucking out his stars is that his stars are his life force. They disappear little by little every day and he can either grow stars to keep his life going, or return to his homeland and bathe in the Fountain. Should all the stars in his mane die out without being replaced, Regulus's life would wink out like a candle flame.

Personality
Regulus is a bit flaky as he finds that his mind and attention drifts a lot. Romance-wise, he detests rough intercourse and is gentle and romantic in his nature. He is still single and has set his goal from raising a star farm to finding a suitable mate. He loves steak. Give him one, and he'll be your best friend for life.

Trivia
* He is a bit of a dope.

* He is utterly terrified of lakes, rivers, oceans, or anywhere that has deep waters.
