So, I've wanted to do this ever since I got Azizi, and now I'm totally inspired. 8D
In a bubble, this is a thread to gather people together who'd be willing to custom Azizi's family and a few friends. 8D

The Records... Dating back to when fair-skinned two-legs first started to wander Africa freely, the Cagoule family has had claim on the same lands since it's creation. The first Cagoule, Kiume, had taken a particularly odd interest in the two-legs. Often he would find himself wandering their borders, and even speaking with their own creatures. At first, he didn't understand their tongue at all, but after countless encounters with them, Kiume slowly started to understand and take on the language. He grew so very accustomed to the culture of the foreign creatures, and to living off the land where they had temporary settled. But as all temporary things are, they must one day come to an end.
One day, Kiume awoke, trotting over to the two-legs' settlement, only to find nothing there at all. They had left suddenly, their land empty and deserted. Going deep into the territory, he met a female cheetah by the name of Ève. She had been kidnapped to the foreigner's home to be put on display, and was just now left there, like Kiume, abandoned. After much time of being together, Kiume became her link to the rest of Africa, as she still did not speak any of the language. The two cheetahs fell in love, and right before their first litter arrived, Kiume renamed himself Arséne, and marked the abandoned two-legs' land as his own, thus officially founding the Cagoule family.
Decades passed and Arséne and Éve's first litter faded away, their blood still controlling the same lands. Their great-great-grandson, Nicéphore, had risen to the head of the family, with three generations beneath him. By this time, others had gathered to take on the Cagoule family name, pledging themselves to the old and powerful family. Nicéphore's own grandfather had chosen his mate for him, the fair and beautiful Laetitia, and the two had been undisputed as the heir's to the family line. Now at the top, it would have been Nicéphore's proud duty to bestow a female to his three grandsons, and a male for his only granddaughter. Days before the ceremony where mates were to be decided, Azizi left the family without notice, shocking the whole of the Cagoule family and creating quite the scandal. His grandfather furious, Azizi went off to traverse the world outside the family, and found himself mixed up in a mash of drama involving another group of cheetahs.

Azizi 
A proud and unapologetic male, Azizi originally left the colony the escape the suffocating atmosphere brought on by his overbearing grandfather. He holds his head high, not afraid to show his training or pedigree to anyone. When he was young, he was vigorously trained to fight and kill, as well as proper etiquette. He won't take insults without retribution, and knows that no matter what, he will end up on top.
His true name is Amias.

The Siblings...
The first set of quests
The Sister...
oooooYoungest in Azizi's litter, the sister is the most pampered and taken-care of cheetah in the Cagoule family during this generation. Her brothers all attended to her, and her grandfather allowed her every desire, no matter how fickle. Very much the princess she was raised to be, the sister was very cross about Azizi's departure mainly because everyone became distracted with him instead of her.
The Older Brother...
oooooVery much the eldest, this male let nothing slip. Fierce and uncaring, this male was the antagonist in Azizi and his younger brother's lives. He always pushed them, beating them when they didn't rise to his expectations. This behavior was brought on by the desire, as the eldest male, to always please his father and be better than the rest. This brother was actually glad when Azizi left, giving him another reason to 'be better' than his younger brother.
The Younger Brother...
oooooA caring and more rebellious male, this brother ran alongside Azizi on every adventure and escapade they wished to go on. Usually suffering the punishment together, the younger brother was not only a brother to Azizi, but a close friend as well. He was overly distraught when Azizi left, having lost one of his only friends in the Cagoule family. <- Has been obtained~ <3The Requirements...
The Sister...
oooooPretty relaxed with her; she just needs to stay within these guidelines:
Be slightly princessy. Not extremely, but enough to want the attention of everyone all the time. xD
Look like a sibling of Azizi's. I'll be a little harder because the parents aren't exactly existing right now, but some good guidelines would be to have similarish markings and be one of the colors on Azizi's pelt, or at least conatain one of the colors.
The rest is open. I only ask that she not join a pride. o:
The Older Brother...
oooooA little more strict than the sister.
Have a dark and cold personality. Fairly vain, and always wanting to best everyone else at everything.
Look a bit more like Azizi, with a dark pelt and a fiendish look to him.
Rest is up to you. o: No prides, again, though. x3
The Younger Brother...
oooooPretty lax.
Look related to Azizi.
Have a more rebellious and fun-loving personality.
Rest is up to you. Nooooo prides. xD

The Leading Generations...
Nicéphore...
oooooA proud and powerful individual, Nicéphore was hand-picked by his father to continue leading the Cagoule family. Amongst eight siblings, he showed the strongest will and most vicious leading strategies. Even with his own litters, he was a calculating father, acting more like a drill sargeant than a father. He was more caring with his grandchildren, though, feeling he could raise them to be better leaders than their own father could. Before Azizi's departure, he was a proud grandfather, grooming Azizi and his siblings for the struggle to claim the throne after he and their father were gone. After Azizi left, however, he became infuriated, taking his rage out on his formerly beloved grandchilren, as Azizi seemed to be the frontrunner in the line of succession.
Laetitia...
oooooVery unlike Nicéphore, Laetitia was originally destined for Nicéphore's older brother, until Nicéphore rose to claim the throne. She is a gentle and caring cheetah, but has taken on the ways of her mate, Nicéphore. She puts the matters of the family before the emotional needs of her bloodline. Her role is little more than a way to further the Cagoule family, as is the role of most females in power in the colony, but she has a softening affect on Nicéphore.
MAËL...
oooooFairly subdued in nature, Azizi's father wasn't seen as a leader in Nicéphore's eyes. The only reason he holds the title of heir is because he was the only son that Nicéphore and Laetitia ever had, the rest of his siblings being female. He acted more like a father to his cubs, wanting them to grow up a little more rounded than he did. His kinder nature, however, does not mean that he doesn't know how to lead. Azizi's father is a more just and fair ruler than Nicéphore, acting on what is best for the colony instead of acting on cold, calculated decisions. <- I'm questing him.
Esmée...A strong individual, she was chosen to be the mate of Azizi's father because everyone thought that she would make him a stronger leader. She doesn't hesitate to punish misdoings, and is always the one to issue severe punishment for criminal acts. <- Being contested off The Requirements...
Nicéphore...
oooooVery strict.
Must have a regal appearance, but look like Azizi could have come from him. I'm thinking purple in black, with designs similar and more abundant than Azizi's, but not needed. xD
Neeeeeeds to stay within his personality. Cold, calculating, and has a horrible temper.
He is the current leader of the Cagoule family; will be rped toooons.
Laetitia...
oooooNot too strict.
A more elegant and pure look to her. Again, Azizi needs to look like he could have come from her, even slightly.
Her personality's more vague, but she needs to fit within the borders of it.
Not as much leadership, but I expect she will be looked to for guidance.
The Father...
oooooFairly lax at the moment.
Needs to look more like Azizi. Maybe a light color with his pink, I dunno. xD
Needs to fit his personality.
He will most likely go against Nicéphore at some point.
The Mother...
oooooVeeery lax.
Needs to look like Azizi's mother. xD
Needs to be a bit more like Nicéphore, but not really.
Probably not a lot going on with her. o.o

The Others... A short list of who I'm looking for; minor characters. xD
Azizi friend 1
Azizi friend 2
Chosen mate for the sister
Chosen mate for the older brother
Chosen mate for the younger brother
A few sisters of Azizi's father
Chosen mate for Azizi; things may or may not end up happening between them, we'll see.
With these, there are no requirements. For chosen mates, they need to have personalities that would go well with who they'd be mated to. Their appearances are completely up to you, but I'd like them to be regal and elegant, as would be expected in the Cagoule family. x3Eh? A few other notes:
Existing SoA are fine as well, as long as they fit within the guidelines. I'd also like them to take on French names, plz.
Existing SoA and concepts need to fit within certain color guides; family, unless otherwise noted, needs to have black or white and markings similar to Azizi, if not on the face, but in other areas.< Very lenient with the appearances. Friends can have whatever appearance you'd like, but I ask that there not be red at all. Red isn't seen as a regal color, and isn't in the bloodlines, so it wouldn't be seen in the Cagoule family.
After the bulk of the drama is done, these characters are pretty much free. HOWEVER. Mated pairs need to stay together, for the sake of humanity, and I'd prefer they all stay out of prides and such. SO EVEN IF YOU GET NICÉPHORE OR LAETITIA, you can still have them breed or whatever. xD But they'll be old. o.o
I -might- help with funds, we'll see. >3>
And on an ending note: I know I'm quite crazy for wanting this, but you can't blame me for dreaming. 8'D

Putting submitted forms here. 8D Also going to put the forms I posted for the parents, if no one wants to try for them, so you can have a better idea of what they'll look like. 83
Funds:
1.7mil
* A note on the funds: I would rather you be able to pay for them yourselves, since you'll be keeping them and doing with them what you wish once this is all done. o.o I'll help if I can, but I do have other things that'd I'd rather use this for. xD
Znaruto
o// name. Znaruto
o// character. Young bro!
o// their name. Cesar
o// personality. He the type that will stand for what he think is right. He also like "fight power man" type of guy. He loves to just chill some times and let the time pass by. He love geting into thing and playing ticks on others. He go to guy to have fun and that what he know what to do. I would say he like one those teen that want rebel from all the rule.
o// plans. He would leave and go find His best friend Azizi. He would not believe in what Nicéphore believe in. He really never did and always wanted to go find Azizi.
((Will do his Ref later but I will have it Here is Cesar!<3 Also I would love help on his idea from you and what think I could add on for him.))zephira738
o// name. Zephira738 (or nicknames :3 )
o// character. Older Brother
o// their name. Gervais - French form of an old German name derived from the word meaning 'spear'. His nickname would be 'Vai' or 'Vais' but I can see his little brothers calling him 'Ger' (as in grrrr, he's a jerk!)
o// personality. He will be the best, but there's no reason why his family can't be almost as good. Constantly frustrated by his younger brothers, he tried ferociously to make them understand what was expected, and required, of them! But did they listen? No! Never! How DARE Azizi turn his back on the family? Well, it just went to prove that he really was the best, he was the eldest after all. It was only expected. He strives constantly to prove this, and the only opionon he gives a darn about is his father...and grandfather. Only with them is his stern proud demeanor just a mask for the crippling fragility of his secret emotional need for their approval.
o// plans. He will side with Nicéphore. Hopelessly devoted, and still struggling to impress the head of the family, he will remain loyal even if he feels emotionally conflicted. Unless Mael sides against Nicéphore, Vai will not have much issue standing with the family over his failure of a brother...of whom he is not jealous. No, of course not...
Appearance Black, with a cold blue and purple color to his markings...and some of Aziz's green. Sharper eye markings (butterfly is too sweet), and color inside his ears and streaked through his mane. The same bracelet-ish pattern on his paws, only in the purple, blue, and green. The little chin-stripes in blue-purple. Would love his eyes to be hot orange or dark pink, something brighter than the rest of him. Maybe red?
xo -- k a i r i
o// name. xo -- k a i r i
o// character. Youngest Sister
o// their name. Flavie
o// personality. Attention-seeker, needy. Princess-y and a little arrogant, but usually without realizing - she means well. Butter-fingers, quite possibly the clumsiest cheetah ever.
o// plans. Flavie was upset when her brother left, since attention turned to him, but she's not at all a cruel cheetah. I'd like to think she received a fair amount of her grandfather's rage, having to be protected by her older brothers - as such, she'd side with Azizi when he arrived.Syrius Lionwing
o// name. syrius lionwing
o// character. Laetitia
o// their name. Laetitia
o// personality. always the sweet soul I feel Nicephore may blame her for making their only son too soft. She is the quiet thoughtful sort only offering her opinion when asked it directly. She won't pipe up her own opinion. A part of her has always feared her mate, more so because she knows he is disappointed that she only produced one son for him but she loves him and is so devoted to him she can watch with almost blind eyes at what is happening around her to her family. She is far from stupid and though she will not show her emotion before her mate when alone, or with female friends, she will cry openly for the losses she has to suffer at her mates side.
o// plans. as she is so devoted to her mate she will stand beside him, however she may manage to sneak away and wish her grandson good luck and safe journey. It would hurt her soul to see him leave but she is almost stuck with Nicephicore, she knows nothing else and her life is entwined with his.
The colour pattern I am gunna go for is a sort of very soft pink on white with butterfly like wings (sort of like azi's mask?) in either gold or azi's dark pink. or in a gradient. I'll post a ref when I have one <3! her appearance will reflect her sweetly innocent, quiet personality.
kinda have 2 ideas for her, pretty much same marks on both just one with and one without a wing marking XD!

Eeeeee~ <33 You guys make me so happy~ 8D *goes and makes a list to read over them in further detail* <33
Edit: After reading over them, I just have one note:
@ Zephy: There wouldn't be any red in the family, so it'd be best to lean towards a pink, yellow, or orange. Especially as 'the best' brother. o uo BUT OMG, I love his description. xD
