The thought of joining an actual group made Ryder's fur stand on edge. He had been a loner for most of his life, being a lion that had been driven from his pride for simply being a little too threatening to his father. Since then, he had been taken in by humans, given a new name, then taken in by another family of big cats, giving him his full name.
William Ahsante Ryder. William for the name a human gave him, Ahsante for the name his mother gave him, and Ryder for the name he had given himself. Personally, he liked Ryder the best. To be completely honest, it was the only name that mattered. It was unique and interesting, showing off a part of him that -
Boy, he was a freaking mess, wasn't he?
He paused right before the border of the Typhoon, taking a moment to draw a paw over his face and mane. He wanted to look at least halfway decent, though that wasn't very hard. He was a pretty lion, large and silky white. He radiated both grace and power - a combination he quite liked. Despite wandering for weeks, his fur was still prestine and cuddly, which he thanked his lucky stars for.
Now happy with his appearance, Ryder stood, letting out a roar - he hoped someone would hear him before nightfall.
