Icarus (DarkCupid95's Stories)

Icarus is the first protagonist of the Broken Circle series. He is the biological son of Daedalus and Tsara, the surviving mate of Nyota, and the father of Lana and Azuro. He is also the adopted brother of Saul, making him the spiritual uncle of David and Julia.
== Appearance ==
Don't let his smooth, intelligent voice or his preference for diplomacy fool you. Icarus is only an inch shorter than Mufasa, and at 490 pounds is only 10 pounds lighter. He inherited his father's milk-chocolate pelt (which is paler on his muzzle, underbelly and paw pads), bright purple eyes and his midnight black mane, and he possesses a widow's peak that is only visible when the bangs of his mane are moved away from his forehead. His gentler facial features were inherited from his mother, to the point that he was mistaken for a lioness cub before his mane grew in and his muscles filled out.
== Personality ==
Much like Scar and Saul, Icarus is ruthlessly cunning and possesses a wily intelligence that makes him a valued ally and a dangerous opponent. Also like Scar, Icarus would much rather use his words and diplomacy to talk his way out of a fight than use his teeth, claws and muscles.
But woe unto any that either makes it clear they are not to be reasoned with, or who push Icarus to anger. Though he tries to hold his temper, when pushed he can explode almost out of seemingly nowhere, and won't stop until the object of his anger is either dead or in full retreat. This anger stems from the horrors he witnessed as rogue in the Wastelands and the border lands between the kingdoms, which led to a belief that only through being willing to kill at will would he be able to protect himself and do his part to help himself and his spiritual brother survive. This, as well as his intellect, is what allowed Icarus and Saul to win the Jungle Pride from Miran, and then keep control of the Pride after Saul was killed.
As King of the Kuatan Jungle, Icarus is quite fair, yet spares no mercy for those who break his law. He has zero tolerance for any who threaten his pride, and that goes most especially for threats or mistreatment aimed at his cubs.
