The Kitwana'antara
Name: Elwynn
Rank: Nanny
Parents: Sliabh & Awani'shairi
Mate: Single - Infertile
Plague Status: Immune
Brief Personality: Elwynn is a sweet leopon. She comes from an incredibly large family, with many siblings of a variety of ages. Cheerful, optimistic and full of sunshine, this young female is very happy-go-lucky. Not much ever seems to bring her down.
At this age, though she is well aware of the disease that runs rampant in the family, she does her best to bring joy to all those who cross her path. She's naturally a bit of a mother hen, always fussing over any that cross her path, and doing her best to make sure they are comfortable and happy. And if they're not, she'll do whatever she can to brighten their day.
Recently she's discovered her sibling was fertile. While it was always assumed they would never have cubs, being hybrids, she has since taken on a belief that maybe. . . just maybe. . . she too might be fertile! She is the sort of female who has a secret longing for a mate and family. . . and it is what she is actively seeking.
Looking For: Anything.
Family RP.
Pride RP.
Mate -- Male or Female is fine.
Others to 'adopt' -- she will never have cubs of her own, but she has a big heart and isn't afraid to adopt what might not be hers.
Name: Ezequiel'unai
Rank: Scout
Parents: Suavice'salva x Blanca'marcado
Mate: Single
Brief Personality: Ezequiel'unai is getting a bit older in his years. He tends to be a bit active, with an endless joy for adrenaline rushes. Racing through the savanna at top speeds, getting himself in to a bit of danger, and generally have a good time will always be his way of life.
He joined the Kitwana'antara after years roaming the rogue lands. He found their plight heart-wrenching, and decided it was as good a place to retire his paws as any. It gave him a sense of purpose, and, the rank of scout offers him a chance to still kick up his heels and do some exploring. It's ideal, as he's not exactly tied down, but now has a sense of direction.
Good humored, it's very hard to ruffle his figurative feathers. He's an easy going boy, and is always looking for a good time.
Looking For: Mate - Any species, though she'd have to join the pride OR at least be down with a border romance, if she isn't part of the pride already.
Drama
Cub adoption
Pride RP
Anything goes really . . . .

Name: Ndale
Rank: Guard
Parents: Mikaile & Oseye
Mate: Single
Plague Status: Diseased - Intermediate Stages
Brief Personality: Ndale is super serious business. He had a bit of a rough start, as he remembers his mother's abandonment of him and his siblings at an early age. He also recalls a fourth sister, and remembers her leaving them despite his objections to wait. He and his two siblings struggled in the rogue lands for a small amount of time, before being picked up near the borders of the Kitwana'antara and rescued.
The pride saved their lives, but at a price. Ndale himself grew sick early on, and has suffered from the disease everyday since then. He is certain, without a doubt, that his time is limited. . . The fact he hasn't succumbed to the disease yet is due to his proud and feisty nature. He's too damned stubborn to die yet and refuses.
A bit mistrustful, strong, but a bit socially awkward, Ndale never learned much etiquette. He tends to be a bit rough around the edges, and rarely smiles. But don't be fooled - he is wrapped around the paw of his two sisters, and would give them the moon if he could. He also finds himself secretly pleased that he's now an uncle . . . . even if he's constantly looking a bit grumpy.
There is a softer side to Ndale, but very few get to witness it.
Looking For: Mate! I would like him to find someone he can . . relax around. Someone he can care for, protect, and cherish. I want something sweet and long term, someone who can get under his gruff defenses.
Name: Nyu'li
Rank: Priest
Parents: Tariq'ra'd & Jinaki
Mate: Single
Plague Status: Diseased - Beginning to Intermediate Stages
Brief Personality: Nyu'li is a gentle giant. He is
large compared to many in the pride, but has a softspoken and quiet nature. He can come off a bit serious, probably because he
does take the world very seriously, but that doesn't mean he can't have fun. Wholly devoted to the pride's belief in the Great Goddess Pestilence, he has an unwavering faith.
He was tapped by the Goddess to serve her will, and he will do so gratefully. He truly believes every lion and creature in the world is part of a great plan, and the pain the pride suffers now is penance for past wrongs.
Incredibly patient, Nyu'li does what he can to better the lives of his pride mates and family. He does so through prayer, genuflection, and living a bit of a superstitious life to keep the Great Goddess happy. He is so devoted to his work as a priest that he doesn't quite know that there are other aspects of living that he could also enjoy.
Looking For: Mate -- I would like him to find someone who might give him something to live for OTHER than the Great Goddess herself. Someone who can show him some fun, some joy, get him to really LIVE.
Priest RP - Would be fun to let him say some prayers or gives some blessings to those in need
God Meetings - He would be both honored and a little intimidated if he met a god or goddess. Especially since he might feel as if he's betraying Pestilence by spending too much time or reverie in the presence of another! x_x
Name: Amani
Rank: Apothecary
Parents: Tarafa x ???
Mate: Single
Disease Status: Immune
Brief Personality: Amani is silly.
Really silly.
He has an overactive imagination and tends to exaggerate
everything. Like mother like son, he knows how to tell all sorts of stories, but the difference between his Bard mother and himself is that hers are actually
good. Amani always dreamed of becoming a bard, but is finding his stories lack any sort of greatness or depth.
He's also considered trying to take after his other mother, Mittere, and become a great warrior! Unfortunately, not only is he clumsy as any cub his age could be, but she demands so much work! He doesn't
want to work . . . or train . . . so he's not entirely sure that's the right path for him either.
Ultimately, Amani found his calling rolling around in the dirt. While he could never be a healer, he has found a way of helping those within his pride if just a bit behind the scenes. He enjoys finding new plants and herbs, and makign concoctions which might better help those whom are so ill.
Recently though, he's lost his sister, and has become a bit more mopey than usual. More reserved. He adores his family greatly, but has been trying to tackle survivors guilt. Why is it that she had to die when he still lives?
Looking For:
Pride RP!
Family RP!
Friendship!
A future mate and/or a fling. He's immune, so he could potentially be sent out to bring back some new blood. A border romance might be sweet too. He's dedicated to the pride, but also would be torn as he wouldn't want his beloved to suffer. Male or Female is fine with this. He has no preference.
Any and all development would be great!
Name: Uzochi
Rank: Juve -- Future Warrior
Parents: Al'hattal x Caoilain
Mate: Single
Disease Status: Immune
Brief Personality: Uzochi is a very intelligent sort of cub. He's active, dutiful to his pride, and adores his family. He is big for a cub, but thus far doesn't want to do much other than follow in his grandpa Sliabh's footsteps. As he has no father figure in his life, his grandfather has moved in to fill the void (at least in the cubs head) and he wants nothing more than to take care of his brother and mother.
They are his world.
Uzochi is a very adventurous, brave and bold individual. He is a natural leader, quite dominant, but friendly enough. As he grows he hopes to learn to be chivalrous, like some of the stories he's been told. One that will defend his pride and family from all the bad guys that might just be out there. Hmph.
He IS a seer though he has yet to really understand his visions. In fact, he doesn't realize he
has visions at all. . . .
Looking For:
Cub RP! Some friends or rivals that are his age.
Pride RP!
Future cub crush, one where they can grow up together. Doesn't necessarily mean they HAVE to wind up together but . . . I always am suckers for those sorts of long-term friendships.
Family RP!
Visions: He doesn't understand that he can sometimes catch glimpses of the future. That he can see things before they happen. I have the feeling he see's near-future visions . . .as in can predict stuff that might happen a few days from now, or see something before it plays out.
Might be nice to have that happen, for someone instigate it. He won't understand though, and at first will think it's neat, but . . . as they continue to happen, will start to worry him.
Name: Shivali
Rank: Cub - Future Healer
Parents: Euderyn x Haruma
Mate: Single
Diseased Status: Believed to be Immune - Will fall ill as an Adolescent
Brief Personality:
Shivali is all sweetness wrapped in to more adorableness with a spinkling of cuteness. She is incredibly innocent, terribly naive, and insanely gullible. She will take you at your word, no matter what, and
always believe you. Lies and deception . . . no . . . . people shouldn't lie because it's bad, but surely no one in this pride is a bad sort. . . .
Though she has grown up around much sadness, and though she understands all of them could possibly grow sick and die someday, she refuses to let that get her down.
She's very sweet, easily taken advantage of, and very innocent.
If you want something, she'll do whatever she can to get it. She's a dreamer, a peace maker, and generally all things good.
Looking For:
Friends! She'd love a BFF.
Someone to cheer up.
Someone who takes advantage of her sweetness (though she'd never have any idea) and kind of use her. If someone ever accused her of being used, she'd likely object and stand up for said 'friend' . . .
Drama? Plots?
Cubhood sweethearts?
Border RP with other cubs?
I'm open for anything.
Name: Chinedu
Rank: Juvenille
Parents: Faraha x Ndale
Mate: Single
Diseased Status: Diseased
Brief Personality: Chinedu is an easy going, laid-back sort of cub. Though his family is a touch nontraditional -- his mother and father don't necessarily always live in the same den and tend to be a bit strict and grumpy -- this little cub walks to the beat of his own drum.
When he isn't happily following his mother around, or playing with his siblings, this little cub is trying to make the most out of his life. It isn't always easy, after all, as he is touched with the sickness that keeps him down and out most days. . .but when he IS able to run around, you can bet he's anywhere but at the den.
Extroverted, playful on the best of days, and a complete and utter
flirt, Chinedu is a sweet talker. Even at this young age, he has no problem buttering up any lady he passes, and practicing his charm. He appears to be taking after his grandfather Jozo, much to his mother's dismay.
Still, his little cubhood flirtations are completely harmless. . . . right?
Looking For:
Family RP!
Pride RP!
Friends!
Rivals!
Drama? Plots?
Cubhood sweethearts?
Border RP with other cubs?
I'm open for anything.
