Description Here's my design of a character for *Alexiel-Kurai 's "Team Oracle" Contest!
-----------------------------------------------

Nemos is an outcast from a clan of Nemean Lions, as he chose the life of a wanderer over a regimented life of a soldier or head of household.
Though he is considered an outcast his people bear him no ill will, nor he them- He simply seeks to challenge his physical might and strength of will against the world.

He is adept at the use of most weapons, though he carries none, save for his retractable claws on both hands and feet. His strength (and the strength of his people) is legendary, and he is able to lift several times his own weight, while also keeping his feline speed and agility.

The jewels that rest on his silver headdress and belt-piece are highly prized 'Rage Stones' that have a dual effect of calming the wearer's otherwise violent temper, and storing rage to be used as explosive pulses of energy.
-----------------------------------------------

I thought the other two characters being a white arctic fox and a white lynx needed something darker/stronger to round out the team dynamic, so I immediately knew I wanted to do a black lion!
I decided to design my black lion character and his 'race' after the Spartan warriors of Ancient Greece! Truth be told I was watching way too much 'Spartacus' on TV when I originally came up with his design, and I've been refining him for the past month or so.

So here he finally stands! Hope you like it.

Heh. Did you win?

On a more serious note, DAMN this character is interesting and well designed. Kinda' would like to use him in something if you don't mind. <<  I don't use anyone who I'm not okayed to so don't worry (except characters in the Online continuations - they're asking to be borrowed )

I did win, and even better had fun doing it.

So, then, what did you mean when you said you'd like to "use" him? I can't give consent for certain things relating to IP, but if it's for an RP session or something like that I can work with you.

Hmm... How to explain..... It's a project based on a hypothetical Sonic fighting game using all the Sonic continuities. Quotes, special moves, ect.

Just felt it'd be interesting as Nemos seems like a character who it'd be really interesting to explore his fighting style and abilities, not to mention his interaction with various canon and non-canon characters.

Here's the original creator of the project's examples using Sonic:

Hah.. As someone who has dabbled in game making & design - that is ridiculously ambitious! hahaha
It looks fine though. Check back in with me once in awhile, I'd be interested in seeing what comes of it (and I could always do more sketches of the character).

Cheers!
