[PRIDE] Mtisihiri : The Druids [I/T] OPEN

[Lithiasaur]

Mtisihiri Pride I/T:

Means: Tree Magic

The Mtisihiri is the new home of the Druids, after they split from the knights of the Tokakinji. The civil war was a bloody and terrible one, and both sides were left nursing their wounds from the damage caused by their own hatred and the wicked feelings manipulated in their leaders by the Goddess of Villainy.

Morgana, former leader of the Druid uprising, has decided to split away from the main pride and, instead, look for a home for her people elsewhere. In their never ending journeys, she hopes to aid others, and make up for some of the grievous mistakes she made in her blind anger. The former King of the Tokakinji, Uther, has also joined this motley band of wanderers, and leads his own team across the rogue lands, looking to find peace for himself.

This pride is open to any wanderers, looking to find their own kinds of homes or peace through atonement and spreading good will. Villainy of any kind is not permitted here, as taught to them by their accidental founding goddess, and the horrors of their past. Instead, they welcome any wanderer, any outsider, or any damaged soul looking for a second chance and a fresh start.

The main goal of the pride is to create settlements and life quiet, prosperous lives. They are separate, but always have a united home in the Ravine, next door to the Tokakinji. There is always food and safety there, a place of healing and quiet, supplied and protected by the knights next door. When out and about in the roguelands, however, it is the aim of pride members to offer support to those in need, and make up for past indiscretions by heroism and benevolence.

Basically, they're a bunch of wandering former bad guys, looking to be good guys and trying to make up for what the initial Druids became known for.

So, any former member of the Tokakinji, particularly the Druid population, is welcome to join! This pride is also open to any species, and promotes peace among all types! Hyrbids are welcome here. Rogue breeding and rogue visitors are, of course, welcome as well. Within the Ravine, or any of the settlements the members make outside of it.

Gods hold a lot of importance here, and the most well known and feared is Afriti, the Goddess of Villainy. She is considered the founder of the pride, through her wicked manipulation of the Druids, and their sworn oath to make right all the wrongs the Goddess guided them through. She is not held in any kind of respect, or love: her teachings are what the Mtisihiri are trying to avoid and do the opposite of.

The Goddess of Villaint Does Not Forgive And Forget:

Afriti will be sneaking into this pride, and founding her own settlements, whose ideals may not align entirely with the hope of Morgana and Uther. In fact, her settlements will be geared toward covert trouble making and wickedness, and all the things she loves so much! If you have a villain that wants to be bad, under the guise of reformation, then boy does Afriti have a home for you.

Ranks:

There are not many ranks yet available in this small, new pride. As it grows, they may be created!

• Novice:
  Default rank for cubs.
  
  
• Druid:
  Default Adol and Adult rank of the pride.
  
  
• Harbinger:
  Leader of a settlement or wandering group. Title must be earned through RP and an application!
  
  
• Slayer:
  Formerly members of the Tokakinji, the Slayers have chosen to join the Mtisihiri to aid them in their quest to right wrongs and help those in need. They are trained to fight bad guys, defend the innocent, and serve as almost-knights in a land that largely lacks the kind of chivalry their former home and pride teaches.
  
  
• Forsworn:
  Formerly a rank for those banished and branded as villains in their previous how, the name of the Forsworn is now worn as a badge of honor. Any founding member of the pride may call themselves this rank, as a sign of their previous and current allegiance, and their dedication to their new ideals.
  
  
• Scryer:
  Any one with God blood, and seer abilities. Considered as close to the Gods, and viewed with respect. Their magical ability to see the future is revered.
  
  
• Warden:
  Wardens serve as guards and soldiers to the pride, either at the Ravine or while wandering and making settlements. They are vital to the survival of groups, and it is often encouraged to bring several Wardens out on a journey.
  
  
• Scavenger:
  The hunters of a wandering party, settlement, or in the Ravine. They are specialized in hunting and have to be very strong and skilled to ensure their fellow pride members are provided enough food to survive.
  
  
• Shaman:
  Those with this rank offer mental and physical health aid to members of the pride. They are healers, caregivers and even a friendly and willing ear to speak to when minds are heavy.

For my reference later, some of my characters joining this pride:










 

[Excited Apathy]

Name: Bríd
Owner: Excited Apathy
Intended Rank: Forsworn, probably.
History: Formerly a Borrower in the Tokakinji--before everything went to hell in a handbasket for the Druids. Was resentful of their second-class-citizen status, and feels that while the circumstances of the uprising weren't ideal, the Toka were asking for it by oppressing them so. But they're a free people now, and that's good enough for her. Helping others is better than being (figuratively) spat upon.

Note: is a seer, albeit not a strong one.  

[Tanakako]

Name: Samar
Owner: Tanakako
Intended Rank: Forsworn - carried over from his Toka rank
History: He has lived in the Tokakinji since cubhood, just like his forefathers. He refuses to leave his home and since it is next to what was known as the Ravine prison, he is now by default a member of the Mtisihiri. His attitude and rank has stayed the same through all the long months of war. He defends the weak and the innocent, a violent and skilled fighter that nevertheless prefers to avoid violence unless it is first visited upon those he watches over. Only now it is not the Toka he keeps an eye out for, but anyone he deems a bad influence.
Likely to be a scrounge for the secret band of ne'er-do-wells.

Blurb from his Toka app:

show spoilerhide spoiler

Born of a Druid bloodline, Samar has grown up surrounded by the pride's turbulent politics. As a juvenile he went through the typical rebellious streak, causing trouble with the Toka blood living around him. Of course he swiftly got thrown into the Ravine Prison where he quickly sobered up and matured into a surly adolescent and eventually became the silent, cold adult he is today. Having finally gotten himself out of the ravine prison, he splits his time between helping those left behind escape through the secret tunnels and training other druids how to defend themselves in any manner possible, all the while keeping an eye on any Toka blood that dares come to the Uliacha province. By night he moonlights as a self-appointed protector, defending any and all druid, born or branded, from unfriendly Toka attentions. And is not above using underhanded tactics when out numbered by the enemy.

He is a Forsworn that was a Sentry while inside the ravine and has taken the self-appointed role of protector in defense of his druid brethren now that he is no longer a prisoner.

 

[Neon Fly]

Name: Yoruhane
Owner: Neon Fly
Intended Rank: Slayer --Maybe to eventual Harbinger
History: From the Toka! He's always tried to remain neutral in his perspective of the pride, trying to act as the scales of indiscriminate justice between the two sides. Yoru has managed to remain objective in his views, but has become disgusted by the lengths both sides went to to claim victory over the other. It grew harder and harder to know where justice lay when acts of violence toward one another became tit for tat.

In the ensuing chaos, Yoru left behind the ideals of his father to remain unbiased. Choosing instead to protect the ones he cared about first and foremost, including Morgana's cheeky daughter Reghan. As the war comes to a close Yoru looks upon the Tokakinji struggling to come back from the bitterness and feels an uncertainty about his place there when the Druids he has become close to call him away.

I like Yoru's rank. x3 I don't think he'd like the chivalrous title of being a knight. He's always been kind of a blackguard in his methods. lol.

I hope that Reghan will be going with the Druids.. since he would definitely follow her and the cubs. If she chooses to stay in the Toka though, then he'll probably remain in the settlement in the ravine until their litter is grown, at the very least. <3  

[Fairy Snails]

Name: Kandaja
Owner: R4gn0r0k IV
Intended Rank: Scavenger
History: Kandaja was apart of Tokakinji as a borrower. Despite being an outsider, she found a home among the Druids and wanted to help them anyway she could.
