"What took you so long? You're late."
"Nonsense. I'm not late nor am I early, I arrived precisely when I meant to."




"I've heard that silence is the best medicine... perhaps you should try it. Please?"

Personality

{+} Affable, Considerate, Dependable, Determined, Gritty
{=} Elegant, Busy, Sarcastic
{-} Blunt, Difficult, Possessive, Slightly Pompous, Foppish

Positive
A good-natured, friendly man. Kasim is extremely easy to talk to, considerate of other's emotions. Growing up he struggled to understand the emotions of others, so he worked hard to figure them out, and help where he could. Due to these experiences, many people he encounters end up as friends, or at the very least, good acquaintances. He's become the go to ear to vent to amongst his circle, managing to give sound advice to most problems, or just being a solid shoulder to rest on. He's endlessly dependable, and determined not just to help, but to further his and Thao's futures. Forever protective of his brother he's gained a grit over the years. He's stood up against aggressors faster than Thao could get even a sneer in. He is courageous, and bears much resolve against any who would question the two of them, he's simply "had enough of everyone's bullshit."
Neutral
Kasim holds himself with a certain grace, head held high, every movement fluid. There is never a hitch in his step, even in pain he refuses to show it. He chooses his words carefully, speaking eloquently in every situation. He won't be worried about by his brother, or anyone else, he's strong... Kas also tends to be busy, not with work per say, but keeping himself moving. He's not a fan of downtime, and would much rather get something done than sit around. Although kind, Kasim has a sarcastic streak. 99% of the time he's joking, but every now and then he might have a vendetta. He doesn't like being annoyed, and might defensively meld sarcasm into his words to get the irritant to go away.
Negative
If sarcasm doesn't work, bluntness surely does. He will call you out, or speak what's on his mind. Even the kindest souls have a breaking point after all. If he's irritated or hurt he can become difficult. Cooperation or even speaking can be a thing of the past for a period of time. His tough exterior can sometimes be broken, and when he's hurting he often goes into isolation. A compulsion, of many. With his compulsions comes a possessive demeanor. He doesn't want to be left behind, a constant worry on his mind. He often doesn't realize his actions unless he is reminded or confronted, in which he will do his best to fix the behavior. He just can't seem to help it. It partly feeds off of a slightly pompous attitude he's taken on. He's a pretty man, and he's aware. Occasionally he's a little too aware, and needs to be brought back to earth. It fits his foppish nature, constantly making sure he's clean and well groomed. Bathed and styled. A hair is never out of place on his head, and it seems there's nary a speck of dirt on his pale hide. He often grooms his brother as well, though he can smack him away.



History

Kasim was born in Usiku, alongside his brother Thao. It had been a few years after their parents left the Pridelands, running from the hardships and cruelty that came with Scar's rule. The pair had settled at the Tree of Life, a breath of fresh air compared to the toxicity that then surrounded Pride Rock. And while it certainly took time to settle, the territory was safe.
At birth the brothers differed greatly, Thao a dark russet, Kasim... leucistic? He stood out from his small family, but he never took much notice. After all, he was much too busy sleeping, cuddling, pouncing... screeching. He wasn't fond of being toted around or being tossed into a pile of cubs. Who wants strangers mouthing them or messing up your mane?! Kasim was a fiery cub, but with time learned to humble himself and grew to be a much more level-headed lion. (He still doesn't like others touching his mane though.)
Nowadays he spends his time working, having become a scout to have a chance to explore the world around him. He greatly enjoys his work, and never seems to take a day off. Perhaps to keep his mind off the future, what he wants? Perhaps just to get away from the humdrum of every day life or the hustle and bustle of the tribe itself. He's unsure of his future, but hopes someday he'll figure it out.
