Welcome to Gaia! ::

._. This Pride wins...soso much.

heart I'd love to get my girl Vinya'nyota involved. xd Her name means Rock Star, so I always planned on her being a bit of a dancer/singer, but I haven't been able to bring it out in RP yet because she's been going through some hard times.

I think the most suitable rank in the Pride for her would be the Umsini, as not only would she be dedicated to teaching others to dance as well as her (>.>; not better than, as she's slightly full of herself), I can also imagine her being creative with jewellery. xp She lived in the Oasis for half her life, so she would've had to do something to cure the boredom.

If you find someone better for that role though, I'd love for her to be an Umfundi under the Umsini. whee

Okay, I can resist no longer (some resistance I have, eh?)

Well, I have a cub, Orifiel, who has a condition. His skin is really sensitive/weak so that oftentimes, the lightest scrape will cause him to bleed. Currently, he's really impatient and easily excited with other people since his mother is really protective of him and tries to shield him from other lions. However, I plan for his condition to really calm him down as he gets older and finds that he needs to live with his condition rather than fight it/pretend it doesn't exist. I originally didn't plan for him to leave the UW pride but for this, I'm willing to have him leave it x]

It just... wouldn't be able to happen for a while since the pride doesn't let youths wander outside of the pride's protection without a parent. ...unless a lion/SoA in general stopped by the pride (outside it since it's hidden), talked to him, and thus convinced him to travel with them (because I'm sure that'd be ok)(and it wouldn't be too hard to make him fascinated by it)

For a position, I'd love for him to be an Umfundi under the Umshayi Wesigubhu. He's definitely not disciplined enough for the actual position. But I'm sure he'd do nicely as a loyal, helpful, and willing assistance/apprentice.

@ Masa: Yay for a potential Umsini (and she's so pretty too O: )! I haven't had any other volunteers for that position and I think she'd work nicely. You could say being slightly full of herself is a bit of a job requirement. XDD

@ Ume: Oooh, thanks for the location suggestion! I actually hadn't even thought of putting them there but that works well. <3 And aaw Orifiel! So cute. *loves his little black sock* ;w; I could definitely arrange for a traveler to go and meet him outside the UW pride, or if that didn't work find a way for him to get to the pride. *nod nod* Apprenticing under the Umshayi works out awesome too.

@ Moon: *pats Ronan* Take a bit of adapting, but he would make a very interesting addition to the Nchi. X3 Looking forward to working with him.

The cousin/descendant I'm looking for. She would be the one to find your girl and try and recruit her for the pride. ^^ <3

hmmmm... this is just an idea and bound to be crappy as I thought of it like 2 seconds ago. If the pride has/gets a guardian (a god who associates with them), couldn't the god appear before Nsundu and tell her about the pride, recognizing her for her resemblance to her mother? Just an idea to throw out there ...in case you can't find the lioness you need 3nodding

I also had one more idea I wanted to throw at you 3nodding This is in relation to my character, Ori. This was just an idea I was muling over in my head. Since the pride would be more tight-nit and friendly than what his mother and her upbringing allowed him, Ori would probably find himself devoted to the pride. So, an idea I had was that he'd have a vision (he's not a seer though, so I guess more like a dream ...that he claims was sent to him by a god/great spirit) of an instrument that plays what he believes to be the most jolly/lovely music kept by men in their village. He would then believe it to be his goal to go find this instrument and bring it back, believing he has discovered a new rhythm for the pride. This would be late adolescence/early adulthood. During this time if there are people interested in their lions joining the pride, he could coincidentally meet up with them and give them directions/take them there. This, however, might be me thinking way too far ahead since it wouldn't be able to take place until after April (when, assuming all goes well, is when he'd become an adolescent). (instrument= reed flute) If I'm getting carried away, just tell me so and I'll stop xD;;;

@chibi - alright, awesome awesome ^^

(well, it being a flute, he probably wouldn't be able to play it (no thumbs xD;; ) but he wouldn't be thinking about that in an obsessive hunt to find it)

I originally thought about that, however since both the Jini-msemi and Kizingo'zaa have a renaming I didn't want to step on anyone's toes. Plus, Kizingo'zaa is the other artsy (in a sense, the Nchi aren't really artsy) pride, and I wanted there to be a definite division between the two of them. XD Nifty idea though.
