¤ Chokwe vs. Mwana’a’lela ¤
Need info on the prides? Check out the Chokwe and the Mwana pride threads.

Need an over-view? Check here!

This is where we'll be keeping track of the Metaplot between the Mwana and the Chokwe. Before we begin, please take a short glance over these rules:

► The Chokwe and Mwana are now in a hostile state of war! There will be several private RP's between members to move the timeline along. If you want to have some side plots please be sure to provide a link to the RP here along with a summery so we can keep tabs on the events within the battle. We may alter a few things or add to the flow of the story based on these!

► There will be open role-plays between Chokwe members, Mwana members, and the two fronts coming together. These will be announced.

► We're looking for more cubs for Shaitani to steal and mix into all the drama! Some giveaways are planned, but we welcome people who want fun plot by letting the crazy lioness take their cub. All cubs will be discovered and taken away from Shai to be raised as vampires alongside her latest litter of cubs and any other bloodlings the pride currently has, cared for by pride nannies and the Queen. Cubs are welcome to be rescued by family or other concerned parties, but we'd love them to stick around and be part of the pride!

► We're looking for blood-binders to capture/enslave! The pride is very short on them atm. If you're not signed up just yet, feel free to post in this thread. It's not too late to sign up!

► If you are involved in an RP please check back frequently and tag the others involved when you're done with your post! We'd like for this event to have a fairly consistent flow rather than taking months to complete.

►This thread is a copy of the one over in the Chokwe subforum here: http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?t=22736279
The above thread is the main hub for the plot, but we'll put important Mwana information here.

.: Mwana OOC Information :.


The Mwana are severely outnumbered in this meta for the plain fact that so many members have gone inactive and we're rather short of people to participate.

This means that for the sake of not being completely over powered, we are going to assume there are NPC members of the pride to bulk up our numbers. They will run the range of ranks in the pride from Necros to Nannies to Blood-binders and are expendable, to an extent. You are welcome to rough them up, though if you are going to kill one, please post here with the rp so we're aware of our losses!

Syr and I have some plans for later on in the meta, but a heads up for anyone who might want to participate, we will be promoting a rash of cub-nappings and the taking of blood-binders to support the pride. This may extend to 'kidnapping' new members as well, though they would be initiated and would be full members. More information on this will come later.

Timeline of Events
User Image
Moving On!


With permission from Syr, Blue is going to be driving the Mwana side of the conflict.

The following is the list of events from the Chokwe timeline, from the viewpoint of the Mwana.

_________________________________________________

1. The Mwana are unaware of the trouble caused by one of their members. Her unbalanced mind further strained by having her latest litter removed from her, Shaitani has started stealing cubs from outside of the pride's territory, including a juvenile from the Chokwe. Unaware, and truthfully uncaring, where she is getting the cubs from, the king and his mother remove them from her before she can hurt them and place them with nannies to raise as full members of the pride. While the circumstances are strange, they are an unexpected windfall, bringing new blood to the pride and bolstering their numbers.

2. Taken by surprise by the sudden attack, the Mwana scramble to defend themselves. Without knowing why the Chokwe are attacking them, the do their best to beat off the invading pride.

3. A rogue Chokwe member seeking revenge comes upon the king's mother Afritti, who has stayed behind with a couple nannies to guard and comfort the cubs. Afritti is killed and the nannies flee with whatever cubs they can take with them.

4. Several cubs will be successfully rescued (default Chokwe and Viktor-spawns that -want- to be rescued. Cubs made specifically for the Mwana to boost their numbers are off-limits OOC. IC it will be assumed that rescue attempts have failed.). The Chokwe will fall back to their own borders.

5. Angered by the seemingly unprovoked attack and the death of his mother, Asanbosam swears blood fued with the Chokwe and begins to send out Mwana members with special blessings that allow them to travel by day, covered with skins that protect them from the sun to steal cubs and blood binders, and recuit new members to the pride.

((The Hunt mini-event the Mwana are doing now are assumed to have take place after these events, though they will run at the same time to give everyone time to rp, and because its halloween.))

6. A new rivalry will begin...

.: Mwana Mini-Events :.


"New" Members ~

Blue is looking to help out peeps who want to join the pride, but don't have anyone to use for it. If you have a custom in the Major Customs Month thread that's intended for the pride, a breeding in the CC breeding thread, or just want in on the action, then post it here!

There are no limits to who can apply for help and don't be discouraged if you don't have the gold. There are people in the pride who would be more than happy to help out just to see more members and activity!

There is no guarantee on what form the help will take… Customs may be picked or may be funded, same with breedings. Those who want in but don't have a custom idea may get a random colored SoA or may get a cub from a breeding. This is not a guarantee that everyone will be helped out, but those who can help will be looking to do as much as they can.

Also! Members can be new OR EXISTING, as we're assuming a bunch of NPC lions anyway. They will still need a joining rp, but it can be assumed that they were born into the pride at some time in the past and the rp doesn't have to be about joining, it can be just everyday interaction. If you choose this route, however, make sure you read up on the pride and it's history, since your lion will be expected to know that already.

Please include in your post if you will need help paying for what you want! That way, we know who needs help in the form of funding.

Raiding Parties ~

In response to the threat posed by the Chokwe and the Mwana's own dwindling numbers, the King has been encouraging the pride to capture cubs and new blood binders (or recruit new adult members). 'Raiding Parties' are being formed and sent out on a rotating basis to capture whatever they can and bring it back to the pride. To facilitate this, the ritual that allows a Mwana to travel under the sun is being performed on each party that leaves.

This basicly means that groups of three or more are allowed to be out in the sun if they cover themselves with the skins of other animals and get the blessing of the Vervartae. (ala Halloween style!) This new blessing lasts for as long as the skin that is blessed, rather than the traditional one day.

A blessing/reward will be given to every member that brings back something, and there is potential for prizes or promotions for people who participate.

In particular: Item sets!

Thalion and Blue have decided to give away item edits to participating members of the Mwana who rp being part of a raiding party. To qualifty, you must complete one full rp with another SoA outside of the Mwana lands. One rp will net you a skin for one of your Mwana members to wear that has been blessed by the new Vervartae and allows them to be out in the sun when they wear it. These skins will be CC in design, but feel free to specify if there is something you really, really don't want.

Thalion has also offered fang edits for Mwana members that participate, and randomly throughout the event, will roll for a lucky member to receive expression/hair edits! More info on that to come.

Five rps will earn you a fully custom item set, though the base of this must be an animal skin, as that's part of the mythos of the blessing.

If anyone should be crazy enough to pump out ten rps by the end of this mini-event, they'll net themselves a fully custom SoA, to join either side of the conflict! (colored by Blue, limit one per customer)

Special notes:

- Each rp must fulfill breeding requirements. aka 1000 words or five posts per participant.

- The rp must be between two characters, even if its an SRP. An SRP still only counts as one rp for this event.

- Chokwe members and rogues can participate by getting an rp with a Mwana member. (if finding a partner gets difficult, speak with Blue or Thal and we'll work something out)

- RPs do not have to end with a sucessful capture! We're not expecting everyone to come home with something, that would be ridiculous. There may be a bonus for anyone who does get someone to join, though.

- To count, the rp must be started and completed between the 1st of October and the 30th of November.

- This event runs through the end of November. (its a halloween event, but got off the ground kinda late)

To claim an rp, post this form here in this thread:

He's a vampire, that doesn't like unneeded violence. However, he is fiercely loyal. So I see him definitely helping out the Mwana. It is his home after all! I'd like if he was born there.

I also don't need help with funds, thanks anyways!

If anyone would be willing to help out...I'd appreciate it greatly! I've not yet posted him anywhere. He could easily be an existing member.

I can pay if you accept items! XD I have not posted him in the customs. This is more of an if needed kinda thing!

Name: Alucard (hurrrr >>; )
Stage: Cub
Gender: Male
Species: Lion
Parents: ? & ?
Offspring: None!
Description: See reference!
Reference Image(s), if applicable: VAMPURRRRR


I thought I'd toss him in for the heck of it if we end up needing more cubs to be kidnapped. XD Ideally I'd like to say he's the b*****d son of either an existing in-pride vampire or a castaway from an outside clan of vampires. He'll be staying with the Mwana but I'd like him to form a friendship with some of the cubs that are rescued to complicate things later on. He's quiet, level-headed, and surprisingly mature for a cub.

Stage: Adult
Gender: Female
Species: Lion (New Rogue)
Parents: ? x ?
Offspring: ? x ?
Description: Pretty much CC, actually. I would just ask that she had some kind of marking that resembles a choker/collar in any way. And maybe some fang markings, but beyond that, CC.
Reference Image(s), if applicable: Choker

I can't afford her (totally broke atm!), so help would be appreciated! Also, I haven't posted her up in the customs thread as of yet. On a separated note, she would most likely be an existing member; a Blood Binder.

Description: CC, do whatever with her
Reference Image(s), if applicable: N/A

I am currently unable to afford for her to be customed so any help would be appreciated. I don't have her posted in any custom threads, but I would love the chance to get in on the event and have a member of the pride. It sounds very interesting.

Gender: Female
Species: Lion
Parents: ??? x ???
Offspring: ---
Description: Predominately CC. Your favorite Creepypasta or [Secure Contain Protect] theme. >D I was originally thinking smile dog, but now I am not sure... So have fun! xD
Reference Image(s), if applicable: ---


I can currently afford her. <3 Not posted in a custom thread, but this war sounds fun and I'd like to participate. She's a heavy-pawed, firm sort of lady who has devoted her life to her pride thus far and would willingly lay herself down if it means protecting the future of the pride. She has little qualms about cub-theft, as it would mean the survival of what she knows and holds dear. Besides, they would be better off running with the Mwana, anyway. She tends to take things literally and while she isn't stupid, she is a bit slow in taking in her surroundings. Joking often goes over her head and she doesn't like it when things go over her head. She is likely to respond to annoyance with a good ol' scuffle, but no ill will is meant towards her pride-kin.

A timeline of events has been posted, to give everyone an idea of how things are playing out!

We will announce the movement from one event to the next.

Currently we are at the tail end of the first event, in which the Mwana are seeing an influx of 'orphan' cubs.

While the Hunt mini-event is happening now, logistically it would have happened at the end. We're going to suspend logic for a little while so the event can happen during Halloween, but assume that these events have happened already in your rps.
