“Water Followers”

Current Weather: Steamy
Current Location: Jungle

History

The coalition was started off first by Akamu’Hakan, upset about being falsely banished from his pride. After wandering around for the longest time he wound up meeting a god, ironically the god of Loneliness, who made the suggestion of starting a coalition for refugees like himself to live. Quite soon afterward he bumped into a pair of goddesses on his travels to find the right place for the coalition to live. Lewatlê and Zimran, the Goddess of the Drowned and the Goddess of Purity.

Thanks to Lew and her need to stay near a source of fresh water, Akamu found the perfect place for his coalition in the form of a glade deep within the jungle. Thanks to Zimran’s ability to purify their glade found a healer [to poisons, sicknesses and tainted waters as well as a source to fix the water.

Currently they’re recruiting more members by keeping ears to the ground and Athrun with his wings in the air.

Members


User Image
Name: Akamu’Hakan
Meaning:
Rank: Umthofu
Mate: Athiri
Cubs: Matlai, Ausi'taariq, Sevati
Personality: Being a new father Akamu is overly-protective and would snap anyone's neck if any harm came to his lovely daughters. He is loving to his mate and would do just about anything for her. His mood changes often, but he is in no way moody. Most of the time this male just sits back and relaxes, enjoying life and protecting his family. Although he does hold Pride in where he came from and his family, Akamu dislikes what the Firekin have become and holds no bonds to them.

User Image
Name: Athrun
Meaning: N/A
Rank: Isithixo
Mate: Azraceri
Cubs: Yadumugandama, Akiiki
Personality: Silent and a little shy, Athrun tends to hide up in the air away from the lands below and likes to sit on rocks up high so he can watch down on all of the lions and other creatures below. His life is fairly lonely and he would rather watch others than do something himself, though he looks out for the members of the coalition like children and would do anything for them just as he would his own cubs.

User Image
Name: Lewatlê kgangwa
Meaning: Tide Drowned
Rank: Isithixo
Mate: N/A
Cubs: N/A
Personality: Reclusive and unsure. Lewtle prefers to stay closer or even in the water rather than spend time with the Pride even with her deep love for all within it. With her odd appearance and less than pleasing attributes, Lew prefers to stay away from those she doesn't know but under her exterior is a very motherly and beautiful lioness.
Extra: She normally takes the form of a red lioness reminiscent of her days as a firekin but can be easily recognized by her trademark braid xD

User Image
Name: Liza
Meaning:
Rank: Umzingeli
Mate: N/A
Cubs: N/A
Personality: Liza was brought up by his huge mother alone, he was born on the misty lands though his mother soon forced his small father to leave when he was very small. She carried him most of the way towards her own lands. Liza gained a lot of her size though unfortunately for him, he didn't gain her mind. Liza’s father was a very easily influenced lion and Liza followed in his footsteps being even dopier and naive if that was even possible. Having been trained as a hunter by his mother, although he is thick as two short planks, Liza is a deft swift and strong hunter. It's outside of his hunting times that he is a very big silly cub whom will let any female (even female cubs!) tell him what to do, he would quite literally jump off a cliff if a female ordered him to do so. He fully believes that females 'rule the roost' and won't take orders from anyone else but a female.

User Image
Name: Azraceri
Meaning: Pure Love
Rank: Nakekela
Mate: Athrun
Cubs: Yadumugandama, Akiiki
Personality: Azra believes in one truth that exists in the world, equivalent exchange. To gain, something of equal value must be lost. When she lost 10 lives, she hoped that something equivalent would come to her.

User Image
Name: Nzinga
Meaning: From the River
Rank: Mchunguzi
Mate: none
Cubs: none
Personality: Because her father left her mother before Nzinga was born, her mother conditioned Nzinga to be suspicious and untrusting of men. When she was little, other cubs would not play with her because they thought her blue coat made her "weird," and so now she keeps mostly to herself, not wanting any more ridicule. Her superstitious mother named her "From the River" because she believed in nature spirits - Nzinga, however, is a realist. Though she has a great affinity for the water, she does not worship it. Nzinga strong-willed, dignified, and tries to keep to herself. She will not admit that she is lonely; she's a bit socially awkward and very proud.

User Image
Name: Nko
Meaning: N/A
Rank: Umlindi
Mate: N/A
Cubs: N/A
Personality: Nko is a rather physically imposing lioness, being exceedingly large for a female. Likewise, she has a strength to match her size. However, this strength is hardly ever of any use. She's not much of a huntress at all due to her clumsiness, a result of her size, and mindset. Realizing she is neither very smart or graceful, Nko often decides that she will fail at something before she even attempts it. Additionally, she will often apologize for stuff that she needn't apologize for, like her natural tendency to talk fast when she gets excited.

Rankings

.:Umthofu:.
-Lead-
Currently: Akamu'Hakan
More commonly known as "the guy with the job" by both Athrun and Akamu, the Umthofu reports to the gods directly for their wisdom and to see what they can do to help the coalition along. They'll report to the God's for information on just about anything from how the weather is at the time to how to heal the sickness in a cub. The Umthofu is the closest thing to a King or Queen that the coalition has but they work just like any other member to make the Coalition as peaceful as is possible and don't hold any authority over any other member.

.:Mchunguzi:.
-Scout-
Currently: Nzinga
The Mchunguzi is in charge of seeking out the areas where large amounts of game reside. They can also be in charge of checking the lands around the coalition if they were without an Umlindi or they were somehow indisposed. They arguably have to be quite lightfooted or silent.

.:Umlindi:.
-Guard-

.:Umzingeli:.
-Hunter-
Curently: Liza
The hunters are responsible for following the orders of the scout and following the game along the river that leads to the glade. There's normally more of them than any other rank, though they need the larger amounts as they still work as a group.

.:Nakekela:.
-Nanny-
Currently: Azraceri
Obviously this rank includes having to watch after the Intsha and Abasha in the coalition. The young are normally those that need to be watched all the time, while the youth have a little more leeway within the coalition and are slowly being trained for their newer positions. The Nakekala cares for and watches and teaches the youngsters while the other members of the coalition are working or hunting.

.:Intsha:.
-The Youth-

.:Abasha:.
-The Young-

.:Oracle:.
-Seer-

.:Isithixo:.
-Gods-
Currently: Athrun, Lewatlê kgangwa, Zimran'Mwanga
Obviously from their name and their station they hold some stature within the pride, but Athrun refuses to think himself higher than the rest of the coalition, Lewatle would rather stay to herself, and Zimran is far too sweet to think herself of a higher status. They use their powers as gods to help the coalition for the better instead of rule it, letting the members know of good hunting regions and where the water is more commonly found.

Beliefs

Though they have Gods that live within the ‘pride’ they are noting along the lines of higher beings, they, much like the refugees are there to work together.

They don’t want there to be a royalty, no “of the blood” or “not of the blood” to segregate the members of the pride into different groups, as it wouldn’t be fair to do that to refugees who might possibly come from that very thing. Instead they set up a coalition to for their members to all work together to make the coalition a better place.

((Well.. what's her personality like? ^^ Maybe I can help.)) ninja
PostPosted: Mon Nov 27, 2006 4:14 pm


((I haven't really RPed her that much. In fact, I've only RPed her once and that RP isn't even finished. XD; Part of the reason I want to get her into a group, so I'll have more incentive to RP her. <3

Anyway, this is what I had planned for her personality, but since she has only met one other, it can be tweaked I suppose.

She's a very large, physically imposing lioness, rather large for a female. She has a strength to match her size. However, this strength is hardly ever of any use. She's not much of a huntress at all due to her large size (makes her clumsy), color, and mindset. Nko isn't very smart or graceful and she realizes this, so she often decides that she will fail at something before she even attempts it. Nko also will often apologize for stuff that she needn't apologize for, like her natural tendency to talk fast when she gets excited.

I also think being in a group will help her get over the 'I'll fail!' thing. I would say she could be an Umlindi, because of her strength, but that leads us back to the initial problem. What do you think? XD))

((Back to the "I'll fail" problem. XD *Chuckles* Well... if she was around for a while eventually in theory she'd be able to get some confidence from the words of others neh? Athrun's pretty good at convincing others of their abilities and positive attributes. ^^ Her strength would make her a good Umlindi and she doesn't really need to be bright or graceful for that. XD She just needs to have semi-strong instincts and soemone to teach her what it means to be a guard. ^^

Does that help? XD)) ninja
PostPosted: Mon Nov 27, 2006 6:42 pm


((Yes, that helps a lot. Thank you. <3 And I definitely think she would be able to gain some confidence from the words of others. She's just a solitary rogue right now. xd

Do you still want me to PM you with info and stuff? o-o))
