Thundercats HO!

Lion-o was freaking out.

Some strange guy had called him and started talking about male pregnancy. He tried to call back, but without luck.

Another unfamiliar voice told him to stay put in his room, so that's what Lion-o was doing after calling him back.

He didn't understand why Turtle was trying to sell him an oven or why some guy told him to chill out. Nothing was making sense today.

[Estabishy and possibly more to come. Door and post are open.]

Lion-o is from the animated kids show Thundercats. The Thunderans are a species of cat-like humanoids that live on a planet called Thundera. The Thundercats -- Lion-o, Tygra, Panthro, Cheetara, and fraternal twins WileyKat and WileyKit -- are Thunderan nobles who sit on the ruling council. They are led the wise warrior Jaga and Claudus, Lion-o's father and the hereditary Lord of the Thundercats.

The show itself actually starts when Thundera is destroyed in an explosion, so the version of Lion-o in Fandom is pre-canon. In other words, I'm having to make up some of this stuff as I go along. Lion-o is just a small boy who will one day have a lot of responsibility on his shoulders, but he thinks that's a long way off. Lion-o's father was blinded in a battle with their mortal enemies, the evil Mutants from the planet Plun-darr. His mother is totally absent in canon, so I've adopted the theory that Lion-o's mother was killed in a Mutant attack. He won't be talking about her a lot.

Lion-o has his caretaker, Snarf, with him. Snarfs are smaller, intelligent cat-like furry non-humanoid creatures that also come from Thundera. They are very loyal and incapable of evil. They usually have names, except this one is named Osbert so he much prefers to go as Snarf. Snarf has taken care of Lion-o since he was a small cub. He cooks, cleans, and generally hangs out in Lion-o's dorm room when he's not nagging Lion-o.

During a visit to Nemesis Island last year, Lion-o ran into trouble and the Sword of Omens came to his aid. The Sword of Omens belongs to the Lord of the Thundercats. It's got a lot of nifty powers, including the ability to change sizes, but right now, the only powers Lion-o will be using is Sight Beyond Sight and warnings of danger. The sword will allow Lion-o to see faraway events in real time, though I am limiting this to the boundaries of Fandom Island except for special plotty circumstances. The sword also has a psychic conenction with Lion-o and will also alert him whenever someone is in trouble, even while its stored in the weapons locker. I'd love to see Lion-o and the sword help out in any sort of plot.

The Thundercats didn't actually wear any clothing when they lived on Thundera (this was a kids show?) and there's only two episodes where you see him as a young boy. That means I didn't have a lot of usable screencaps to make icons from. You'll see that I'm probably using the same icon over and over again. I do have some adult Lion-o icons and they may occasionally pop-up in a thread just, but for now, Lion-o is still just a little boy.

And one last random fact: Lion-o's voice actor is Larry Kenney, who is provides the voices of Count Chocula and Sonny the Coco-Puffs Bird.

Lion-o was used to having a fluffy snarf tagging along at his heels, so at first he didn't really notice the fluffy circular creature at his feet. Besides, he was trying to find an easy way to tell Snarf that he'd gotten a job in town after going to the picnic on Saturday.

He did notice when the creature tried to bit his ankle. Snarf came to the rescue and whacked the circle with his powerful tail, but that only left them with two even more vicious circular critters. When they clamped onto Snarf's tail, Lion-o grabbed a heavy book and started beating them to dislodge them, but they just seemed to keep coming out of nowhere.

[[Open door and post! Help?]]

Quick and not so dirty run-down on my characters:

There's another info post for the Arms Hotel, which is available for your convention plots, special occasions, or whatever you may need a hotel room for. You can always contact me OOCly if you need to arrange for a hotel room.

I think that's it, because it took me way too long to write this considering I was keeping it short. My contact info is in user info for my characters and my kids are always available for plots.

Lion-o was feeling way too restless to sleep. Not wanting to disturb his roommate, he decided to go for a walk in the preserve. There really wasn't a good reason for Lion-o to be out here in the middle of the night except this was probably the easiest way to ditch Snarf. Lion-o wanted to be alone with his thoughts as he reflected on the last week. He just didn't expect to run into a teal deer, which seemed to stare at him for a long time.

"Oh, geez," grumbled Lion-o. "Yes, go ahead and stare! And really, I'm not going to eat you or anything."

The teal deer scampered off anyway.

[Establishy, but very much open to any other nighttime wanderers!]

Moving back into the dorms was pretty painless for Lion-o, especially since Snarf pretty much did everything for him. It was really nice to have a snarf around, even if it did cause some confusion for the radio squirrels.

Lion-o took advantage of the down time to take care of some official business. He needed to write a letter to the council about the progress with his education, but he thought it best to leave out the part about the radio reporting that Snarf was his boyfriend. That was just too weird.

[Open, especially for the roomie.]
