044 Rasta

Rasta is the Rastafarian.  

A Rastafarian believes that Haile Selassie I, the King of Ethiopia from 1930-1974, was the second coming of Jesus Christ.  These Ethiopian Christians living in Jamaica also believe that Zion (Ethiopia) was land promised to them from Jah (God).  Apparently, many of them also think that they are immortal.

To the layman, the Rastafari are mostly known for their dreadlocks, their connection to reggae music, and their spiritual use of cannabis (aka weed, aka herb, aka reefer, aka ganja, aka sinsemilla).  An event where Rastafari gather to smoke ganja is called a "reasoning."  Reggae music arose from such Rastafari reasonings in the late 1960s.

Anyway, Rasta is the TDD stereotype of all of these things.  He has versions in G1, G2, G3, and G4.

He also has a zood named Zion.  He is a lion.  Zion the lion.  The lion is a symbolic animal to the Rastafari.  This comes from the Lion of Judah.  They believe that Haile Selassie I is the decedent of Judah through King Solomon and King David.

Rasta's little lion Zion even wears a crown.  Aww.
