The boring bit: - We reserve the right not to pick a winner if no one fits. - They can't leave the pride without talking to myself and Ness first. Doing so will forfeit ownership of the cub. This family is very important to us and the parents would not willingly loose contact with their babies.

Dad: Lucivar | Captain [Tanakako] Lucivar is a mature, confident and easy-going Captain who takes the future of his pride very seriously. He is often seen championing youngsters, guiding them through their training and taking them on their first Viking to become reavers. He is a solid, supportive presence, forward-thinking and modern. He adores his wife Mbali, their relationship is strong and full of love. He will love his kids just as deeply and support them in all things. He will treat the boys and girls exactly the same, if a boy wishes to remain a freeborn and help the pride, that’s all right with Lucivar and he will stand by the boy against any naysayers. If a girl strives to become a Captain, he will teach and train her and help all he can. He is on the fringe of the war between Ragnvard and Ronan, being Ronan's Captain. But so far he has stayed on the sidelines, keeping an eye on Ragnvard.
Mum: Mbali | Freeborn [nessiaing] Mbali is one of the sweetest stormborn's you will meet. The lioness was born blind but lucky enough to have a twin sister who has always looked out for her. While Mbali's parents didn't kick her out of the den for being less then perfect they also didn't give her much attention either. While it bothered her at first Mbali eventually grew use to living in a quiet dark world where it was just her and her sister. All of this changed the day she met Luci, it was love at first meeting. Mbali has fallen so deeply in love with Luci and she now feels like she is living in a whole different world. With the help of their Thrall Mwana Mbali now lives a very fully complete life and is over the moon about becoming a mommy, though she is a little nervous about loosing one of the cubs or having them all come out blind. Mbali's blindness is genetic and she has been blind since birth. She has never had any sight not even shadows.
Mwana | Thrall [Tanakako] Originally rescued by Luicvar and his band from a Sith attack she was taken in voluntarily as Lucivar's thrall and is now the companion and guide for his blind wife, Mbali. She is a sweet, caring female who utterly adores her Master and Mistress. She is Mbali's guide and the two females are best friends. Mwana is usually at Mbali's side or running errands for her. She will be close by throughout the pregnancy and will be the cubs' playmate and babysitter once they are born.
Litter: Kain First born and the only blond. [Tanakako] Kaatuu'Aalto Second born. He took after his aunt in colouring. [nessiaing] Cub 3 [???] Cub 4 [???] Aeshma The second blue cub of the litter. Aeshma is a spunky, bright little girl with a sense of adventure and curiosity that often gets her in trouble. [Tanakako] Razmik Last born, blind from birth. [Snails]

="SilverLutz"Blue-eyed Babe Name: Eydis Meaning: the goddess of good luck Future Rank: Freeborn Personality: Eydis is a spunkly little girl who enjoys the finer things in life - the best parts of a kill, a tidy den, tokens from strong males who go out on Vikings. She's a lover, not a fighter, and as a certain knack for healing although she'd never pursue anything that might have strangers calling upon her to help them. She's generous, yes, but doesn't want to be bothered at all hours of the night or day for a scratch. She has a certain afinity for the sea and can usually be found sitting and watching the waves. Blind?: No Anything else: She'll be a willing guide for any family member that suffers from blindness and might even try to work on a cure for it. Not that she's succeed, of course XD

="I Lady Kiya I"Blue-eyed Babe Name: Sigrunn Meaning: Victory Secret (Norse) Future Rank: Freeborn -> Reaver -> Possibly Captain Personality: Tough and determined Blind?: No, she's not Anything else: She'll stay with the pride.
Quote:
="Painted Moose"Blue-eyed Babe Name: Gnist Meaning: Norweigan meaning "spark" Future Rank: Freeborn (with dreams of being a Reaver) Personality: Gnist is a fairly subdued girl whose calm nature surrounds a core of steel. She's learned early on that being overly excited with her disability doesn't bode well (such as running into rocks/trees/everything) so she takes a much more calculated approach to life. That isn't to say she doesn't like having fun, though; Gnist just prefers to follow the rules and keep things simple, with as little surprises as possible. Surprises tend to throw her mentally off course because she can't react as quickly in areas she doesn't know, and hiding her worsening eyesight can get tricky.
She's fiercely determined and stubborn to a fault. Little will sway her from her path; even if she's better off letting it go. Gnist will fight for what she believes is right with a dogged determination that borderlines obsession. Blind?: Yes; it will be a gradual change. In her youth she'll be able to see, but everything will be blurry. As she ages her eyesight will gradually worsen to the point of being entirely blind in adulthood. Anything else: She wants to become a great Captain like her father, but the older she gets the worse her eyesight will become. At first it will scare her, causing internal panic because not only will her dreams seem to fade but so will the faces of her family. Unwilling to let go of her aspirations for the future, Gnist will try her best to hide her oncoming blindness; masking it as best she can with the help of close friends. While she knows well that she can have a fulfilling life while blind (as proven by her mother), Gnist wants more. She wants to be someone that can lead others, to be that guiding force in a storm, and to become a strong warrior in her own right. Plot wise this will be something she struggles with for a long time, especially once her 'secret' is made known.

="Andranis"Blue-eyed Babe Name: Ulfa Meaning: Wolf Future Rank: Lawspeaker Personality: Never take Ulfa's blindness as weakness. With a sharp tongue and dry wit, she never lets it get in her way, unafraid to smack a lion for mocking her. She can ear everything around her to a great degree, from the way a lion breathes to the minutest movement of their paws on the ground. One of the few things she's afraid of is walking off a cliff, so stays away from any cliffs in the pride's lands. She's confident she'll find a mate one day, because being blind has no other impact on her life than she can't see. Blind?: Yes - She can't see a thing! But she can hear really good. Anything else: She only ponders if she can hear lions BLINKING when she's really tired and in that weird "I'm very tired why am I still up" headspace.
in the Norse pantheon Hel, ruler of the eponymous underworld of Norse mythology. (“To go to Hel” meant to die in ancient Norse idiom—nowadays, it means more or less the same thing.) Not only did she have the crucial job of judging the dead, she also had an important (and terrifying) role to play in Norse eschatology. In the legend of Ragnarok, the Norse foretelling of the Apocalypse, Hel’s role was to lead an army of the dead in a ship made of the fingernails of corpses.
Future Rank: Reaver - Captain Personality: high spirited and cocky, she loves her family and wants to do everything she can to make them proud. Strong willed and single minded she will never let anything get in her way. Blind?: No Anything else: annoyed by the pride she has been born in to because of its prejudice against the females of the pride, she is determined to prove all of the nay sayers wrong. I feel it might be interesting for her to become short sighted as she gets older causing her rise to captain to be even more difficult, but this wil just make her more determined.
Quote:
="belloblossom"Blue-eyed Babe Name: Meaning: Future Rank: Freeborn (with aspirations to become a Reaver, though it will be through plotting and RP to determine whether that is possible for her or not) Personality: Honestly, our little lady is kinda spiteful that she was born completely blind from day one. She hears that she looks like her mother and people often refer to her as "beautiful", but as far as physical beauty goes, she hasn't an idea of how things look and don't bother trying to describe it to her, it just makes her irritable.
This bitterness will only surface when others make comments on her blindness or how she looks or how lovely the sunset is, etc. Otherwise, she is a relatively friendly lion. To make up for her lack of sight, she is determined to become the best she can be and since her father is a Captain, why can't she become a Reaver. Blind or not, she is going to be the best of the best... She just doesn't know what that is yet. Blind?: Yes, fully blind from day one. Anything else: Thank you for giving me the chance to enter for such beautiful Cubs!
(Will edit her name in upon my return from lunch.)

="Chi Sohma"Blue-eyed Babe Name: Sachi Meaning: Blessed Child in persian Future Rank: Freeborn ( hopefully bard if they let her in ) Personality: She is a singer of the ocean. Bewitched by it really, she seeks to become a bard ( yes, the all boy's club ) and if she can't, she hopes to one day sing for the ocean and her people. She easily would like to stay a Freeborn, she isn't one to go out for all bout. A homebody is what she really is, but she will probably have some plots where her sheltered life crashes and as soon as that happens; she will be at daddy's side! During raids, if there is a time where they think they can't make it- she will sing and raise her fellow people's spirits/moral. Blind?: No; Although maybe in the future she may. Anything else: She may have plots like romeo and juliet >3>;... If I may and if they are not related with my other cub I won from you Tan. She may be liable to change ranks later down the road if plots arise!

="AstoriaFallen"Baby Blue-eyes Name: Völva (Vala) Meaning: Völva, also spelled Vala, a priestess in Norse mythology and Norse paganism here Future Rank: (if she is rolled as a seer, then priestess) May still go for the rank of Priestess regardless actually XD Personality: Despite her blindness she's going to do what she can with what she is able to see. While it's hard for her to make out those around her she can still see enough that she knows when something is in her way. She'll work around her poor eyesight and use her heightened sense of smell, taste and hearing to overcome her lack of sight. She will grow to be frustrated at times when she's younger and withdraw into herself when she feels as though she'll never be able to do anything worth something. But she'll eventually get over it as she ages and learn that sometimes even those that seem as though they could never amount to anything worth something are truly valuable. Blind?: Yes. She's able to see blurry outlines, but that's about it. When it comes to the darker parts of the evening/night she cannot see at all however. Anything else: Thank you for the opportunity!

="SilverLutz"Baby Blue-eyes Name: Alva Meaning: female elf Future Rank: Technically Reaver, although she won't leave the pride much for a long time. Personality: Alva thrives off the stories of the Reavers and of her father. She loves dreaming about becoming a hero one day herself, bringing home treasures and having glorious tales of battle to tell. She has boundless energy and is quite a pest in her youth, seeming never to sleep very long and always looking to play. She also has a knack for getting in trouble as her curiosity is fierce and pushes her to stick her nose where it doesn't belong. Blind?: Yes, but not because of genetics. On a Viking she will succumb to an attack that leaves her completely blind in one eye and mostly blind in the other. Anything else: After she is blinded she'll become completely withdrawn and unlike herself, hiding in her den and refusing to come out, scared of what others might think of her or that she might walk off a cliff into the sea or something similar. If she has any blind siblings I'd love for them or her mother to teach her how to survive with her now limited sight and eventually have her come in to her own and make a name for herself as a blind Reaver who goes about with a blindfold on and still kicks major butt!
Lovatar is a goddess who takes many forms and has many names, featured in the ancient Finnish epic The Kalevala. Blind daughter of the god of death, Lovatar gave birth to nine diseases . In the Kalevala, Lovatar takes the form of a powerful, shape-shifting witch named Louhi who does fierce battle with the epic’s protagonists for the magical artifact Sampo.
Future Rank: Freeborn - Priestess Personality: Serene yet scrappy, Lovatar won't let her blindness get in the way of her dreams. She will have a quiet confidence born of the belief of her parents she will never back down choosing to believe in the natural gifts her blindness has thrust upon her, sharper hearing, a stronger sense of smell and a touch that can feel the very ground shifting. Blind?: yes - completely blind from birth. Anything else: Taking her given name to heart the young lioness is determined to be a daughter of death! With this in mind she decided from a young age that she would apprentice as a priestess. With this in mind she will train her other senses heightening her hearing, sense of smell and touch to prove that she doesn't need to be able to see to succeed dramatically. Would also like to get her rolled as a seer.
General ; On her own, unperturbed, Burka is mildly happy and has great ease focusing on her tasks at hand. She is intellectual and enjoys a good puzzle or resolving issues, this is what has drawn her to the idea of growing up with the path of Priestess. First Meet ; Burka can come across as single minded. This happens primarily when she is focused on something and is interrupted. Other times she is simply, simple. Her attitude towards things doesn't shine unless she is passionate about it. Even that passion will simmer down when she trains under Kluna and meets her goals. She'll realize that emotions, though vital, aren't always the best answer immediately. Priestess Role ; She will eagerly approach Kluna with the youthful excitement associated with possible new dreams coming true. That enthusiasm will likely shatter on the first go around if she doesn't get the immediate answer she wants, but she'll learn from the experience and push forward. As a young Priestess she will strive to be like her mentor and begin to calm her emotions and keep them in check unless otherwise necessary.
Blind?: Blind ; one eye.
Reaction ; Since she can still see from one eye Burka hasn't truly felt any different. Her immediate reaction was calm as it's likely her Mother wouldn't be entirely shocked by the situation. Of course life needs to be handled carefully when missing that area of peripheral vision and so she takes her time with things until she is comfortable. Though she doesn't consider herself weaker than anyone else this does impact her choice to become a Priestess versus a Reaver.
Anything else: Lots of roleplay should be had. 8] The above is based on if a Priestess role shall be available. I'll happily play her into a Reaver character and spin her story to suit the change of pace. <3
