Character Concept: Simba

[Kinokan]

Hello everyone! Kinokan back with another character concept. It’s been a while since I’ve made one of these so I figured with the relatively recent release of Scar and the new live action trailer for The Lion King being released, this time we have The one true king of Pride Rock, Simba.

Simba is a front line Tank who rules the battlefield with half care free spirit and half majestic pride.

It’s just as Rifiki taught me. “The past can hurt. But the way I see it you can either run from it or learn from it.”

Simba steps onto the field and stands tall into the face of danger.

Simba attacks with swipes of his claws and bites.

Simba when defeated lays down and looks upward to the stars.

Simba when victorious has petals fly around his mane and breaths a deep sigh of relief.

White Skill: Proud Roar
Simba stomps his paw downward and roars to the sky dealing 250+ (.45BD) + (225SL) Normal damage to all enemies and paralyzing all enemies for 8 seconds. Paralysis has a reduced duration against enemies lvl X=SL Paralyze prevents enemies from moving or using any movement based skills e.g. Violet’s Shield Roll, Wall-E Fire extinguisher, etc.

Green Skill: Remember Who You Are
Simba carries the spirit of his father, Mufasa, and with it regenerates health after using Proud Roar, healing for 25% of his health over 4 seconds.

Blue Skill: Hakuna Matata
Once Simba hits 50% health he remembers Hakuna Matata and puts the past behind him. Doubling his healing from “Remember who you are” and becomes immune to disables. Disable immunity reduced by enemies lvl X=SL+20.

Purple Skill: Simba’s Pride
Each time Simba uses Proud Roar his allies rally behind him and get a boost to their morale increasing attack speed by 50% and granting 100 energy to everyone. Reduced effect to allies lvl X=SL+40

DS: Disk Stars
DL: Disk Level

Friendship Disks
Lvl 96 Aladdin
King’s Legacy
Gives 1000+ (150DL) HP
“Remember Who You Are” now also gives Simba 200+ (50DS) energy over 4 seconds. This does not get doubled with Hakuna Matata.
Other allies: Baymax, Mickey, Hiro

Lvl 99 Mr. Incredible
King’s Strength
Grants 350+ (40DL) Basic Damage
Simba’s basic attacks now rends enemies armor reducing enemies armor by 10+ (5DS)% and has a 5 +(5DS) % to stun enemies for .5+ (.5DS) seconds.
Other allies: Dash, Buzz, Zurg

Hope everyone enjoys this. Let me know what you think. OP or UP? Also feel free to ask questions about any of my choices and reasonings I may have. Also, Hi @Polaris! Would love to hear what you have to think about it.

I wonder y Scar wasn’t one of his friendships. Overall, dis concept is Great . I would like Simba in the game because we need the heroes with their villians like Hercules, Ariel, & Aurora.

[Baroness_Eric_II]

It’s a little awkward the fact literally all his skills roll together into that one roar. Love the paralysis status though, and making him a tank is a good way of standing out from his sneaky front line damage uncle

[Kinokan]

That is understandable although to be fair most characters have one skill that they focus on and work around such as Zurg’s blaster and Quorra’s disk. His kit is meant to be simple in that manner and the classic roar that Simba does after the fight with Scar, during the rain, is possibly one of the most iconic sounds in Disney’s vast and extremely accredited repertoire.

This isn’t Prince Simba or Simba the coward, this is King Simba. He has come back after his uncle killed his father and is ready to face danger head on. The roar of a mighty king paralyzes foes in fear and his friends who hear it are filled with courage and strength.

I chose to have the single skill not because Simba couldn’t do more than a simple roar but because he doesn’t need to do anything more. Sure the argument could be made for a pounce and flip but Simba only does this in defense. He is never the aggressor, Scar is. He didn’t choose to kill Scar and at the end of the day he didnt. He tried to choose the path of peace at the cost of exiling Scar. Scar didn’t want to be in his brothers shadow once again.

That is my interpretation of the Simba I presented here. A proud, powerful and brave King who heeds the words of his father. “Being brave doesn’t mean you go looking for trouble. I’m only brave when I have to be.”

Hope that helps shed some light on my design philosophy with Simba.

[TheSpaghettiKing]

Great concept, just in some servers, the level max is 90 or below, so if it was a thing it would have to lower the levels for the friendships.

[Queen_MacGuffin_II]

Awesome concept, I wish they’d add him

[Kinokan]

Thanks for the praise guys. As for @TheSpaghettiKing and your comment. I realize these levels for the friendship disks are high and don’t exist on any server currently. I typically design characters for if they by some miracle get chosen to be included in the next level cap. So that way those friendships can be included in said lvl increase.

Hope that helps with some insight.

would like Simba in the game because we need the heroes with their villians like Hercules, Ariel, & Aurora.

Well actually i feeo the exact opposite. Now that the villains of these movies have been added, idk if they should add the heroes. Just picture Scar meeting Simba and Simba all like: You murdered my Father now imma kill you again!!

Then Scar like: Ha ha ha you never killed me before. Thhat was my hyena s and even if you did kill me again, i can always come back hah a ha ha!!!

Then Simba and Scar fight side by side to kill a bunch of creeps. Then after that is done Simba kills Scar again who merely comes back again and kills Simba who also comes back again…and the rocess goes on​:confused:

[Drone_IX]

Well I think they will get along & soon become good friends. But hey, dats my opinion. We all have different opinions.

[Kinokan]

@Champion_David While I get that ideology it isn’t too far removed to having Ralph and Felix fight alongside one another, or Barbossa/Sparrow or Buzz/Zurg. The very diffinitive villains fighting alongside the heroes they stand opposite to. And if you look at those combos they have some decent syngergy and even befriend one another in this fight against a common foe. I didn’t have them have a friend disk because I had other combos in mind. Aladdin because of the shared loss of someone near and dear and extending their legacy throught Aladdin and Simba’s lives. Mr. Incredible for the idea of a Father’s strength and what that means and how to pass that down to the next of kin.

[Champion_David]

I never said Scar should be his friend just saying why i dont think they will bring Simba in game. The characters abovse mentioned are different from Simba and Scar. They never finished the movie as enemies. But i get that you have a opinion and i respect that.

[Drone_IX]

Thank u. As the same to u @Champion_David. I respect your opinion.
