Body Structure: of whats left of his body he is quite strong with a well aged and regal look to his fur and mane. his mane and beard are actually combed to be perfectly straight going down from his head to his torso to hide the machinery that keeps him alive. His face is more anthro lion like with a small patch of fur from his accident is missing in the shape of a half moon scar on his left eye. while his right eye happens to be mechanical. the rest of his face carries a well aged look with some wrinkles and saggyness but still shows a strong proud lions spirit.

Personality: Very nerdish and always has his face in a book or is working on some kind of invention. is known to get angry when interrupted. despite his slight anger issues he is quite the genius and a very kind and generous man. has a prefference over thinking then doing when it comes to a relationship.

Dislikes: annoyances that distract him from his work, typical madmen blowing up his class labs....

Occupation: Lead researcher into mechanical thinking drives and intelligence units, Professor of S.T.E.A.M Academy i nthe field of advanced clockworks.

Misc Information on how he got this way.
he is the professor of advanced clockworks and design. he was caught in a accidental blast that destroyed nearly 80% of the academy. Using his own research the top doctors and scientists the academy taught worked on him day and night to restore his body. sadly the only thing that was of feasible use was his head and left arm and part of his right arm. his research was so complete he even designed a working organic compound that can grow and age like skin and even produce hair thus the ability for him to have fur.
