Ajani Goldmane Ajani is a noble and proud leonine who can sense-and perhaps even amplify-the inner strength of others. The weapon he carries belonged to his brother, who was the leader o their pride before he was killed. Ajani seeks to uncover the identity of his brother’s murderer. As Ajani searches for members of the pride and tries to solve the mystery of his brother’s death, he must control his emotions and keep sight of the distinction between justice and revenge.

Abilities
Known Intentions
Ajani has the ability to detect the intentions and emotional desires of those around him. As a child, he had acted on this knowledge (though he hadn't known the full potential until he becaome a planeswalker), and it had caused those around him to view him as an oddity, and eventually led to him becoming an outcast. Though he cannot read minds or anything of that nature, this ability allows him to understand the more basic feelings of those around him, and to know whether they have a "good" or "bad" heart.
As a side effect of this, sneaking up on Ajani is impossible, and it also gives him an extra edge in tracking people. Once he has enough contact with a person, he can remember and recognize their emotional output, and can locate them based on that. In most cases he must be within a close proximity of the person to sense it, but this does have exceptions. Based on how "good" or "evil" a person is, or how badly Ajani needs to find them, he has been known to follow people from one edge of a plane to the other.
Blessed Aura
Ajani has worked hard to make himself a bastion of Good, and after expending so much of his energy in pursuit of that goal, he has literally become a well of strength for any who would uphold justice. At all times, Ajani leaves his power open and allows any whom he reads as good to tap into it. On the battlefeild, this not only gives a huge morale boost to whomever Ajani sides with, but also increases their magic abilities and strength. Those who are able to pul from Ajani's strength become tireless, and are able to remain ever vigilant.
The reverse of this, of course, is that those who draw power from vile sources may find themselves unable to tap into them. With so much positive energy flowing amongst them, they may have to pull away from the light that is Ajani to find the source of their darker powers. Though his blessed arua has no direct effect against them physically, they may find themselves in such a panic and fright that they feel the strength leave their bodies, and become fodder against the forces of light.
Projection
Once, when Ajani had found one of the people responsible for the death of his brother, Ajani grew to tremendous size. Most who know of Ajani are aware of this ability, but what makes this particular encounter interesting is that once he grew, there appeared a second, and then a third, 300 foot tall Ajani (That's taller than the statue of liberty!). Ajani cannot replicate himself, so it appears as though Ajani is not the one growing in the first place. It seems most likely that Ajani is actually calling forth a huge Avatar, but of what?
Spells
Vital Surge
What would a bastion of good be without a healing spell? With a quick whispered word, Ajani is able to bring back someone from the brink of death to their full potential. Their hearts pump stronger, their lungs take deeper breathes, their skin heals at exponential rates, and their faith is renewed.
Resurrect
A stronger version of Vital Surge, Ajani can actually pull someone's spirit from the Aether and force it back into their body. Rather than a quick whisper, Ajani must actually focus on the body for a moment and expel a bit of essence to reach into the Void.
Astral Steel
Ajani doesn't just react to death around him. After the death of his brother, he concentrated on preventing it in the first place, and thus Astral Steel was born. Ajani is able to solidify energy directly in front of, or around, a person or group of people. This acts as a shield, as tangable as though it were made of metal, and Ajani can place it anywhere within his line of site. It has resisted arrows, swords, magical attacks, and even dragon's breath.
