Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lets kick this off by introducing the star of this attraction, Hoalohanani! My newly acquired leopardess that aims to enter the ranks of the Iknimaya. Wait, whaaaat? She's a leopard! They can't be considered as full fledged pride memebers!

Hoalohanani will be made aware of this via RP. But she isn't easily dissuaded. Not matter how verbally and physically abused. The leopardess intends to stay.

She is a spiritualist. She is elitist. She is a tad insane.
Worried about that last part? Don't worry, she's harmless when she wants to be or needs to be. Outside of the Iknimaya lands? Hoalohanani acts as 'monster'. But when it comes to the pride, the female is self-aware enough to know that acting-out isn't an option. Needless to say, this dominate and aggressive female will do just about anything to get what she wants. Being passive and docile to remain in the pride, but wont hesitate to act as tormentor when out in the rouge lands.

However, it isn't to say Hoalohanani will remain a 'monster' forever. With the influences of the pride, she will soften significantly.

Pride RP

Disapproving Pride member(s): [Males or Females accepted]The Iknimaya is a lion-based pride. Seeing a leopard stalking around in their lands is a no-no. Your character has every right to assert their authority and protect their pride by chasing Hoalohanani off. But will your character's frustrations mount when he or she comes across this shady female leopardess again and again? Will they aim to be more brutal with this outsider? Or maybe curious? If you don't want to play as the 'bad guy', your character could maybe grow more lenient with this 'strange leopardess that doesn't get the hint'. Or maybe just grow indifferent by her constant resurfacing.

But I would prefer to have someone genuinely annoyed by Hoalohanani and her pompous attitude. She isn't even frightened of your character! There is definately something 'off' about her. There are plenty of things to go off of WHY your character may hate her and want to maim Hoalohanani.

Or better yet... what if your character becomes paranoid? Seeing this strange leopardess stalking around all of the time. Is she planning something? Maybe you catch her conversing with a lion from the pride. Are they LOVERS? Are they in cahoots? Maybe planning a coup (or 'coo')? You could possibly save the pride! Investigate.

That special someone: [Males preferred]Hoalohanani will eventually hit luck! She will come across a pride member whose initial urge isn't to chase her off. Maybe after a few causal encounters, your character will come to understand that Hoalohanani genuinely wants to become a part of the pride. Her battered form accounting to previous encounters with other justified pride members. I would prefer if this 'special someone' was a male. Nothing romantic will ever come of this. I'm just a sucker for close friendships between guys and gals (like Aang and Toph, Kim and Ron or... Lilo and Stitch? Eh, you get my point.) No cubs between them. Just something sweet and platonic. :3
Your character better be prepared to hide his little 'pet' from any disapproving pride members. The threat of reprimand is definitely there.

Rouge RP

The tormented: [Males or Females accepted] Hoalohanani periodically hassles cubs. Actually, she harasses all youths without bias. She has an affiliation towards the helpless and impressionable. They are just so much fun to tease and taunt! They are soooo vulnerable. She likes to act as the 'monster in the closet'. Except she's the lady of the dark... in the forest.

Male Leopards: [Males, derp]It would be nice if I could find her a mate with the lovey/dovey romance fest. But right now it isn't a top priority on my list of endeavors. I DO want Hoalohanani to have a fling or two, though. I will be picky, because lets face it... she's one attractive leopardess, ain't she?

I may be persuaded to have Hoalohanani breed or develop a relationship with a male that has an interesting personality. But you'd better realize, she isn't interested in 'sane' males. And she will only breed with leopards. Without question. That isn't me being picky. I just figured I'd stay true to the character. She is rather traditionalist in that regard. She will only stay with those of her species.

Also, while her coat patterns may be appealing OOC, I would like Hoalohanani to remain haunting and 'scary' looking while in-character. Pretty girls are boring to play as.

Brief description of personality: Petra is an advisor to her brother, Pietr, who is the future king of the pride. Unfortunately for Petra she is actually the wrong colour. Her brown fur causes her distress amongst the none believers of the pride even though she was ordained by Eywa herself. Petra is a sweet lioness who watches everything, she protects her brother from those whom would be against him, she is a good, strong advisor. She faces her haters head on though she has secret moments of distress she never shows them to those who would scorn her for her weakness. She loves her sibling and considers herself his carer despite him being a big strong male.
Role: WellI was going to offer a sympathetic ear if you need one? A friend, Petra was born out side of the pride with her brother and she does not have any of the prejudices that the pride possesses and she knows those prejudices first hand because of her wrong coat.
Idea(s)?: If you would be interested Petra could be her friend, it might cause them both extra angst but Petra always comes out on top int he face of adversity!

whee

Alright, thanks Feylin. :3

Hey! My Pride member wants in on this action!

Brief description of personality: Mtoto is a very accident prone, unlucky, head in the clouds female. She tries to be carefree, and attempts to help others in the same direction. Notice I said TRIES. See, Mtoto has a very bad knack for failing in every attempt she makes at mediating a situation. When not meddling in the affairs of the others cubs of the pride, Mtoto likes to daydream, which leads to all the accidents she gets into. But no worries she's one tough cookie. The most interesting aspect of Mtoto is her connection to the Earth. She absolutely ADORES the plants around her. She believes they can talk, and treats them just as she would treat a lion. Mtoto does know her tendencies are a bit weird even for her pride, but it doesn't deter her from doing it anyway. She has recently met a male who may have changed her path in life.
Role: Possibly a disapproving pride member? But not because of what she is, more because she's never SEEN one before, that AND she's very disapproving of anyone she doesn't know treading anywhere near the plants. Big No no.
Idea(s)?: Although Mtoto does understand that her pride does not welcome leopards, she has never actually SEEN a leopard so she has absolutely no way of knowing that Hoalohanani isn't welcome. She only knows that, she's new and she's sneaking around, and maybe some of her plants have been trampled? Perhaps Hoalohanani could inherit a stalker of sorts? Mtoto could follow her around and be sure she doesn't harm anything. She'd sure as hell jump down her throat the second one of her friends got trampled. I'd be more than open to Hoalohanani secretly breaking her inner pride silence and hassling Mtoto. She's such an innocent cub, and has no sense of the rough life ahead of her, i'd love for her to have a life lesson come out of this, and perhaps an eventual acceptance?
