CHAOS ADVISOR

User Image



It is the Zahama’s primary duty to ensure the happiness of Atmaja House and its members. He or she works alongside the Shatkona and Mwanasheria in order to come up with a solution in times of trial and war that’s best for everyone. It is the Zahama’s job to advise. Tradtionally, the Zahama chooses one of his (or her) children to follow in his (or her) footsteps.

It is also the Zahama's job to oversee marriage parties and funerals in the Atmaja lands.

[b]Rehoming Clause:[/b] By entering this RP contest I consent to having read all of the rules and guidelines. I know that the success of the meta is dependant on whether or not she's played.

[b]Personality:[/b] (insert blurb here plz)
[b]Prompt Response:[/b]


her story:

At night when the children can't sleep, the elders tell stories about times long since passed.

"When I was young and strong," they would say, and look deep into the eyes of the little ones for whom they had dragged up these old memories, "the Zahama was a magnificent lion named Kin. He was big and yellow, like the sun, and took very good care of Atmaja's children. He was as fast as the wind, and as fierce as the crocodile."

"Now, children, Zahama Kin had two daughters. One of them was as beautiful and good as pure gold. She was his favourite. The other…" at this point, something not unlike fear might flutter across the elder's face, and the cubs would exchange curious glances, "was as hideous and mean as a cobra."

"They were as different as different could be, and fought often-- for their father's love and attention, most of all. But no matter how hard she tried, the Cobra could never touch Zahama Kin's heart. When he retired, it was the Golden daughter who took over."

"And the Cobra?" the elder would look cautiously over his shoulder, and lower his voice to so low a whisper that the children would have to creep closer in order to hear it, "she has become Sahen's right paw, and the deathly Commander of his Ligi Force."

prompt:

As the Zahama it is your duty to care for and protect the sanctity of the Atmaja house. Ashnai'le is governed by a cruel and bloodthirsty king. Nowhere is safe. Lions are starving, or beaten, or filthy liars. It kills a little part of you a little bit everyday to have to watch as the people around you suffer. As a (younger) sister, you fear for your sister's tainted soul. When you were young, the two of you were constantly at each other's throats. Quella was always a brutal opponent, but you worry, now, about the poisonous claws that Sahen has sunk into her heart. As a mother, you fret constantly for the life of your daughter, Nandi, who can be a little too open in her disdain of the King.

your task:

When they are alone, Nandi likes to tell her mother about all of the things that she will do once she's Zahama, and how, exactly, she intends to pitch Sahen off of his throne. She works tirelessly towards this goal, in secret, but has never asked for her mother's help. Until one day-- Nandi comes to the Zahama in the company of a young lioness. She is young and healthy, as much as anyone not born into a life of privilege can be healthy in Ashnai'le, but is requesting safe passage out of the pride. Nandi, it seems, would like to sneak her out. What do you do?

theme: stubborn, fiery and compassionate

THE BETRAYED

User Image


her story:

Born into the Ashnai'le, this grumpy looking lady, along with her two brothers, was raised to be a strong and fearsome warrior. The only girl out of a litter of three, she got a long best with her twin; a male who was identical to her in everything except personality. His name was Ihaj, and he was fierce where she was calm; foolhardy where she was calculating; forgiving where she was vengeful. They loved one another dearly, and were as close as close can be. The second brother, Jahi, was often left out of the twin's games, and he resented them for it. Jahi was always a manipulative, impulsive and insecure lion- so when Sahen took a particular shine to his blue fur, the young lion welcomed it with open arms. The Shatkona wanted to know all about his family. He asked many questions, and Jahi answered them with pride. He told truths. He told lies. He told the King whatever it was that he wanted to hear, and this led, inevitably, to the destruction of his family.

Ihaj was the face at the head of the first Rebellion; a little known faction that sought to overrule their cruel Shatkona. It was quickly squashed out by the Ligi, as well as Jahi's tattling tongue. When he caught wind of what his siblings were planning Jahi, spiteful at them for not including him in their quest, spilled the beans to his King.

Jahi was promoted from his lowly position of hunter to one that he'd coveted for a very long time. He became a Ligi.

As punishment for daring to rise against him, the Shatkona had Ihaj, and several other lions rumoured to be involved with the Rebellion, slaughtered. He enslaved the sister. She is his servant. For now.

theme: calm, calculating, and vengeful
