Personality in depth - quite honestly, seth is a very unique creature, who has both positive and negative aspect, which seem to be constantly at war with one another in a fight for which will come to the surface. typically, the negative traits seem to be more dominant, due to the residual effect of his element of hate, which is known for having such effects on its lions. some of the lions that experience his presence find him to be like two different lions in one body, struggling to come out above the other one always. this can be very off-putting towards others, hence why he doesn't have many lions that he's close to, especially outside of his rather large family.
on the more positive side, he is intensely loyal, especially to his family. in his opinion, blood is thicker than water, and basically anything else. he would do anything for them, whether it be laying down his life or standing up for one of them. this ties in with his protective nature, again mainly of his family, for he would rather himself be harmed than they were. he is also very intelligent, known for being clever in difficult situations, thinking of uncommon solutions to circumstances that typically are hard to figure a way out of. he has a brave heart, a courageous mentality, and he will always do/stand up for what he believes is right, especially in regards to helping others. seth is also known for being very capable on his own. ever since he was a young cub, he has been able to survive on his own, fend for himself, that sort of thing. he loves helping others but he is very independent and receiving help is another thing entirely. he is good at using whatever resources are available to him in unique ways to creatively manage his situation. he is known for always being on the alert, his ears perked and his eyes ever watching the world around him, carefully concentrating on what goes on, so that he can act if something were to happen. now, moving away from the positive and more neutral traits, there are plenty of negative ones that are extremely common for him. one of these is how he easily comes across as being arrogant; he is a very confident creature, and he doesnt always seem to have a filter on what he says, sometimes talking as though he's more intelligent or he knows more than others. however, there are other times when he can turn on the charm; he can be not only persuasive, but truly manipulative, knowing just the right things to say to convince others to help him do "xyz". however, when he is in a truly bad mood, his hate fully consuming him, he becomes completely antisocial, refusing to be around or talk to anyone, and just wanting to be alone to sulk. if anyone, except his twin sister, tries to approach or talk to him during this moment, his filter disappears and he can become extremely aggressive, both physically and verbally. |
Allegiance/War;;
●Oasis - Loyal for the rest of his life.
●Pride - He sees the pride as being weak, for they are struggling so deeply with the rebellion that they had to seek help from his family/the oasis. who cannot protect their own people, their own families and lands, from outsiders seeking to destroy their way of life? He feels a lot of confusing emotions within the pride itself, some of its lions intensely devoted and loyal but others being far more argumentative or harboring dislike for one another. He has felt far more hatred in the auras of those in the pride than he ever felt back home in the Oasis, which does make him a bit nervous.
●Rebellion - He doesn't know a lot about the rebellion, at least not from personal experience, but from what he has heard second hand they seem like truly dark/evil beings, at least in his opinion. Arknon and Aerona especially seem like foul creatures who don't care about anything but power, as if the lions under them are disposable beings who have no true purpose except to lay down their lives for the cause. Esther helped him see the truth; that while many were like this, there are lions within its ranks that have just been hurt by the pride and decided to change their loyalties.
●War - Hated. absolutely hates. War is horrible and needs to be stopped. Wants peace. Hates the hate surrounding war.

Backstory;;
Setekh was born into the Oasis, into a land full of peace and knowledge. His mother and father were deeply in love, but mother Xena never imagined herself having cubs. She only agreed to have cubs because her mate Merak wanted them badly. Setekh was born to the pair's only litter; he was the first born, and is the only male of the litter, having two younger sisters. Due to this, Setekh was not very close to his mother growing up. She was more like a distant mentor figure than a loving affectionate mother. But Seth was definitely close to his father; Merak was the lion he looked up to more than anyone in the world.
Growing up with the element of Hate, Setekh initially despised living in the Oasis. It was too calm, too peaceful; there was no chaos, no negative energy, no hatred. He felt out of place, like he did not belong, and as though everyone was constantly walking around on their tiptoes around him. He wanted desperately to get out, and upon hearing about the War going on outside the Oasis' borders, he was intrigued by the chance to feel so much. When his family was chosen to leave the Oasis and go get the Pride for the Council, Setekh was ecstatic that his Dawning of Light Ceremony would be giving him the chance to go with them. When the day came and the group left, starting out on their journey, it was the most excitement that Seth had ever yet showed.
Once they arrived at the Pride, Seth's family was given many odd looks. Most of the pride lions had, apparently, only thought of the Oasis as some fantasy/fairytale place that didnt actually exist. At first the pride was weary, but upon their Alpha Ethereal's clear approval of their appearance, they were greeted in a bit more of a friendly manner. Setekh's parents allowed him to wander from the pridelands and explore the nearby nomad-filled lands. It was during one of these expeditions that he stumbled across another cub who had a massive metal cave/forgery. Her name was Dustumi, and she became his closest friend around his age, at least from outside the Oasis. Seth was so intrigued by her, and he felt his feelings grow as the time progressed and he went back to visit her. But then she grew into her adult form, and he was still a cub. She began to brush him off; it was around this same time that the journey back to the Oasis began. Seth hasn't seen her since.
During the journey back home, perhaps about halfway there, the large group took a break to rest one night and allow for some rest. Setekh heard a soft, sensual voice calling to him, drifting through his mane with the wind. But no one else seemed to hear it, nor did anyone else seem to feel the pick up of the breeze. He followed it to the edge of the camp, wandering just out of eyesight, and found a beautiful female cub waiting for him. At first he was weary, but he felt her aura with his element, and she meant him no harm, so he calmed down. They spoke for hours, and when the sun came up and Seth had to return to his group, Esther promised to follow from a distance and see him again that next night. True to her word, they met up that night, and every time the group stopped to rest on their journey from then on, the pair of cubs grew closer. Feelings quickly developed, and for the first time ever, Setekh felt himself truly trusting another lion.
And then the day came, and they were at the edge of the Gateway, ready to return into their homeland with the pride. Setekh would not lose Esther the way he lost Dust, and so he snuck her into the Oasis with him. She was tiny, such a small little cub, so she easily blended in with all of the adult lions; those who looked at her saw her with Setekh and figured she must be another Oasis cub. However, upon returning home, Setekh grew into his adult form, and he completely towered over little Esther. He pulled her up onto his back, and gave her piggy-back rides constantly, as he showed her around his home, telling her about the culture and the background they had there.
Setekh's eyes were opened to the harsh reality of war; and what he saw made him sick to his stomach. The intense negative emotions he felt from the pride lions when they spoke of the rebellion overwhelmed him; and he had been told by Esther that many rebels had even stronger feelings of hate towards the pride. Seth couldn't even imagine this; he didn't want to. Seth no longer was excited about joining into the war going on in Lochren; he wanted it to end, he wanted nothing to do with it. Upon returning to the Oasis, Seth decided he wanted to follow in his parents footsteps and become an Oasis Guard. To say that there were many murmers of shock would be an understatement; Setekh had previously been vocal about being a Knight and going out to fight. All he wants is to protect the Oasis from the inside, and has, since his growth, been quite vocal about his displeasure for joining in on the war.
