For the Starry Boy

Name: Alo’aranck (Origin: Combination of two Native American names. Alo is Hopi, Aranck is Algonquian. Meaning: Alo: looks up. Aranck: Stars (in reference to his coat pattern )
Nickname: Aran (short for Aranck) or Nikan (Potawatomi for “my friend” )
Screen Name: RoseNightshade
Personality: Kind-hearted, too much so to be a warrior. He respects all warriors strength, and is no weakling (physically) himself, but he would rather be making their tools and such (like the hammocks,one of his favorite jobs), as he finds pride and strength in being what he describes as the "roots of the mother tree, rather than the branches and leaves that brave the wind." He's just a touch cowardly, and doesn't really like conflict, though he will not shy away from it. He's most brave when he has to defend someone else. And even if it would get him into trouble, he will always stand up for what he feels is right, and against what he feels is unjust. He would never be the one to initiate a fight.
Rank: Crafter
Any other information:
He loves to sing~ :3 He's got no desire to become the Lead Crafter only because he would rather spend his time making things rather than gathering the supplies to make them. Though he does like to carry around with him a few special trinkets around his neck as sort of a silly looking necklace, things that he is saving for just the right occasion to decorate with, or for the right brother or sister. He highly respects the Lead Crafter for their efforts, but doesn't want the rank himself.

Just a note, the rank of acolyte isn't something bad. It's usually considered on honor for those with the rank. The only reason that they have that rank, is that there is a color that will stand out amongst the bioluminescent lands they live in. ^.^

smile I know. I read about it. I think working for the preistess directly like that and so close to the mother would be an honorable rank of the sorts. In a sense it can be confusing since others don't accept her because of her coloring, yet she has such a great rank.

xp It sounds pretty bad in the info, so maybe you coulf clarify it a bit?

Acolytes are those of unantural color to the Navi. They have to prove themselves worthy of Ewya's protection and guidance and also, their worthy of being a member. They serve under the priestess herself and are anointed special tasks. They cannot rise in rank ever. Any cubs born with too much of the unacceptable color will also fall under the rank. They are looked down upon but no neglect/hate/abuse would ever be tolerated.

The fact that they have to "prove themselves worthy" makes it sound like quite a negative rank, as well as the fact that they are looked down upon by other members. I don't see why any lion would feel honored in that role if they're too busy trying to prove themselves in the eyes of Ewya and everyone else.

xd That's just my opinion though. Like I said, if it is a genuinely positive role that isn't actually as bad as it sounds in the above info, I think that does need clarifying.

Hmm. I always took them to be the opposite. I will ask Yin about it. Perhaps there was a misunderstanding on someones part... ; / Poop

Course I suppose it's a matter of opinion. I own an acolyte and he will be treated well by some but not well by others; depending on the situation and personalities of those he interacts with.

Just poking in with my thoughts on the acollyte rank.
I think it would be honorable that they have been found worthy in spite of the coloration that could have otherwise excluded them from the pridal circle. There are always going to be some in the community that are more superstitious than others.


It's been nice reading the entries. Good luck everyone! I'll be happy to rp with folks with any of my trio of Na'vi!
