Personality
Lior is a bit of a dreamer, and is prone to long bouts of daydreaming and getting lost in his own thoughts, and the memories of his adventures and things he's experiences in both his life as an esk, and the things that happened to him when he was still human.
He is a generally friendly soul, and inquisitive too- he loves to travel far from his boundary and see new places, Biomes, creatures and other esk. Everyday is an adventure for him, whether or not he's out actually on one, or simply reminiscing about something, or playing it out like a game just on his own, or making up fanciful stories and role-plays to enjoy with others. He asks questions wherever he can, be it of ask or creature- he doesn't get much in the way of info from animals, but a few times some of the more willing creatures have lead him around to their favorite spots and shown him little wonders.
The esk he comes into contact with are of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. He is not generally perturbed by the ones who are not so friendly toward him, but a few times he has come to a head with those he finds especially nasty, or that bring up memories and ideas that he does not care for. He does not abide by esk that are particularly harmful to the animals or plants within their own boundaries, and holds a special sort of disdain for any that actively sabotage creatures ability to find food or shelter. He will not hesitate to berate these esk for their actions, and scold them, and vent his own frustration- the same goes for any who intentionally bring back painful memories of his struggles in his past life as a human in order to wound, or upset him. There's a time and a place for recalling memories of that sort, and they are not the kind that should be drudged up and thrown in your face.
To all other esks though, Lior gets along well with them. His questioning and inquisitive nature sometimes puts off the more shy esk (though he does not intend to make them uneasy), and he gets along splendidly with those who are willing to play out stories with him, tell tales of their own, and show him around their homes and teach him all new things. He's not afraid to jump headfirst into new things and experiences, and he will follow anyone willing to guide him with no hesitation, and many questions and inquiries to be had.
Lior finds a great many things interesting, and in his travels has found a fondness for all the different Biomes- but perhaps the thing he enjoys more than anything, is food. He cannot eat it, but it pleases him to find all the different sorts in all the Biomes, and the creations of humans are exquisite indeed. He likes to collect food scraps wherever her can and pile them up, or hand them out to any animals nearby as a little treat, or a helping hand.
Since Lior is so short and stubby, when on land he isn't particularly fast, nor very graceful (in fact his walking is a bit more like waddling). He has a hard time climbing things and maneuvering through certain types of terrain (which effects his adventures somewhat, but he does not let anything hinder him indefinitely). He's careful in his movements, but eventually he does end up tripping or taking a tumble... sometimes if he's in a particularly difficult terrain for him, he'll have a hard time getting back to his feet, and may need help from someone else who is willing.
Despite his lack of grace on land, when in water Lior is as graceful and collected as ever- he swims just as well as a fish, if not better, and his movements are almost mesmerizing to behold. He is quick and limber and can make turns, and do tricks and such with complete ease- he loves swimming, and will gladly spend all day in the water, simply wandering, exploring the depths, following the current, or playing with other esk, fish and animals.
Once Lior and Tassi become good friends (originally they were wary on one another), Lior makes a habit of traveling only for a few weeks at a time and coming back to check on Tassi. He spends another week or two with Tassi once he's back going on patrol with him and telling the bigger esk of all the things he'd seen while he was out, and all the adventures he had and the new things he learned. He'll play with Tassi too, and reenact some of the journeys he had, or simply have fun swimming the day away.
