Please take the time to read the Bonelands pride information prior to posting. Relevant color requirements and rank information, as well as cultural notes, can be found there. There are appropriate forms located in the posts below, as well as any additional information that may be applicable to that given situation.
This thread provides forms for the following: Joining the pride, either as new members or old-blood. Changing the rank of a lion. Updating information about a lion. Posting litter information.
Current Abaholi Ruling - February 20th, 2019 Going forward, any lions - female included - who are born with predominantly unnatural colors, will be asked to leave the pride at adolescence, not dissimilar to the fate of male cubs.
Due to the Bonelands' stance on unnaturally-colored lions, the discrimination they face as a result, and the low social rank they hold, will make life for them extremely difficult (not only emotionally but physically, as they get less and poorer quality food). Umholi Umkhombo believes they are better off leaving and finding their own place in the world. While it may be difficult for them to leave their family and the only life they've ever known, it's less cruel than allowing them to remain and be subject to derision and exclusion all their lives.
This is not retroactive. Oddly-colored adults that were already pride members are unaffected by this change in policy.

Joining We do not require JRPs. Once your lion has been accepted, you may get them recerted.
"Old" Members - Customs & Blank Slates This category is for people who have a liones that is an already existing member of the pride. There are a few options available to fit these characters. Note: Males may join using this method.
Option A: They are related to another existing member of the pride. This requires any relevant permission to be granted by the player(s) involved. Option B: They are not related to another existing member of the pride and have "fake" parents.
"New" Members - Rogues This category is for people who have a lioness that was not born in the pride, regardless if they are newly joined or joined quite a while ago. Note: As of the overthrow of Andhaka and Bangizwe, new males are not being accepted into the pride outside of Inselelo Challenges.

Oath of Celibacy If you have a born-in male who wants to become celibate and stay in the pride as an Ahluke, this form is for you. This decision should not be made lightly, as they will never be permitted to have cubs and some members of the pride will treat them as lesser, especially if they are cisgender and attracted to females. Lions who just don't want to leave their home/family - which, for males, is considered an integral part of their passage to adulthood - will often be denied, unless there are extenuating circumstances.

Note: If your lioness has a Title rank (ie. Enkulu), please state their normal ranking (ie. Umzingeli, Cinga, etc).
