Welcome to Gaia! ::

All of the babies are going to be raised in the Ulili-Mlindaji. Their mother is very old, and she won't be able to live terribly long after the cubs are born. Their father was a passing rogue, and it is doubtful that he will be in the cubs' lives at all.

As such, Salma is going to put Hifadhi and Amara in charge of raising them. Though they will have a wetnurse for a small while (?), Hifadhi and Amara will be their parents, and will be thrilled to have cubs to raise, as the both of them are infertile. Hifadhi is actually the older half-brother to Salma, and he is a guard for the pride. Amara is a huntress (? check), though she will be taking some time off once the cubs are turned over into her care. There will be a support system, and I believe that there are some other youngsters for them to play with.

They will be told the truth about their real parents (well, mainly just the mother, none of the pride will know about their real father) if they ask, for those that are curious.

While I would heavily hope that you keep them in the pride, I'm not going to enforce it. Honor system and all that. smile If you have ideas that may take them out of the pride, I'm pretty easy to work with if you contact me beforehand.

These two need personalities. 8] You add in a little bit of spice and bam! A cubbin.

This is Me!
Name: Bamidele ("follow me home")
Gender: Boy cub
Personality: Bamidele only has two states: off and on. As a cub this will translate to him tearing around at high speed for several hours straight before passing out in a corner to sleep it off. As a juve his energy levels will start to even out, but sitting still will remain difficult and he'll twitch his tail and talk nonstop to make up for any enforced idleness. As an adolescent he'll find that his apprenticeship as a guide provides an appropriate outlet for his high energy levels, and grow intimately acquainted with every inch of the pride. He'll develop a fascination with guests and their stories, but stick to the prides boundaries. As a young adult he'll throw himself wholeheartedly into his work as a guide, although every now and then he'll be overcome by wanderlust and pull a disappearing act where he sets out to see the rogue lands and other prides. A pious sort, he'll spend these travels talking about the wonders of the Ulili-Mlindaji, frequently returning with a sheepish rogue in tow so that he can take them on a guided tour. Ultimately he'll find that his favorite part of traveling is returning home to tell the story to his family and friends and will settle down with a mate. As a father he'll limit his wandering to the pride boundaries, always trying to learn new routes and visit any new shrines. He'll tell many tall tales about his time adventuring and find that he loves being surrounded by cubs, no matter whose they may be. He'll (try to) adopt a small army of cubs, much to his mate's dismay. ("It followed me home, can we keep it?")
