Name: Kobe
Meaning of Name: Variant of Jacob, "The Supplanter"
Age: 10 Years
Gender: Male
Species: Sable Antelope
Colour: A black sable, though he is now starting to go brown with age. His body is covered in the white markings typical to his species.
Description: A big male that has a thick head, neck, and legs. He is strong in every sense of the word but this is what makes his limp so awkward to deal with. He has massive horns that reach high into the air and then curve neatly. But he is quite thick with a browner fur then black, if only because his old age is starting to kick in!
Come From: Kruger
Breeding History: Has bred many times and produced some healthy offspring!
Health Problems: He is damaged in the leg, so that he limps constantly and his body is littered in scars. However, he can run quite well!
History: Born a wild animal and the younger of two calves still looked after by their mother, the elder yearling being Kobe's father. The two calves bullied each other as they grew up and when they reached two they parted ways, only to end up fighting for the same female. This female was part of a herd that neither male owned. She was in fact very fond of Kobe, but when Kobe lost a battle and ended up with an impaled shoulder, which later healed thanks to human help, he was forced to wander. On returning a few years later with his own herd to the same female, he was angered to find his brother holding the herd and fought for it. On winning and chasing his brother to the outskirts, he was introduced to a young calf sired by his brother named Mwenye from his favoured female. She pleaded him to be kind to Mwenye, and he agreed. So he trained the youngster up quite well. Then he, a daughter of his, one of his least favoured females, and Mwenye were all gathered for a breeding programme in another part of the park. His brother was then allowed to take his old place back, and Kobe lost his most favoured female. But then he was still leader and his herd now included a young buck called Noir. Noir fought him, and Kobe thrashed him hard, but spared his life. This only lead to an accident on their arrival to Tempolar. In his closed off area, Kobe panicked over the sounds of Noir and the females screaming and the kicking of the doors. In fact, when he was let out, Noir had already broken one of the sides of the doors, and they were only partially open. Though Kobe ran without hindrance to the door and out, the broken piece snapped off after Kobe past it with his belly and it pinged into his leg. A long gash runs on the inside of his leg, and because he didn't stop running after that, it never healed properly enough!
Plot-line: He is the injured former leader in the Herd Master Plot-line, and his role is to help Mwenye out!
Mate: He has had several and used to be keen on one female, until she was separated from him!
Offspring: He has had several and does have a daughter amongst the herd, which really likes Mwenye.
Companions: Noir, Mwenye, the bachelor males, and the herd.
Personality: Once he was quite stuck up, though always wise and brave. Yet he used to bully relentlessly at the weaker animals, chasing them to be killed. Now he has a greater respect for them, and indeed a pity filled with a hint of bitterness. Now he is starting to see just how special his nephew Mwenye really is.
Interesting/ Extra Details: He has many youngsters that could be produced by other players
