Name of Bowl: Mukul Aries Pardus
Meaning of Name: Mukul means ‘blossom’ or ‘bud’ in Hindi. Aries is a constellation (and my zodiac sign PX)
Personality: Mukul is highly mischievous, loving to play pranks on friends and family, and even unsuspecting bystanders. He will hear you coming from miles away and lie in wait for you to pass. Quick as a wink, he’ll reach out and bat your hip or tail, sending a small shock of electricity through you before shooting off out of reach.
How he/she Views His/Her Family:
Parents: Mukul loves his parents…even if Tambre can be an unrelenting hardass about his magic. All it really means is he’ll shock her extra when she comes down a little too hard on him. Otherwise he looks up to his magical mother as a role model, and loves having fun little debates/arguments with her when she goes all stubborn. Sabine is the parent Mukul would go to for relaxation. A quick, loving nuzzle and a nap with Mama Sabine would be all Mukul would need before he’s off again having fun.

Siblings: Mukul is protective of the younger siblings, not really allowing anyone to bring them to harm…except maybe himself. He likes to play with them, poking them when they’re lazy, always wanting to play. His favorite older sibling is probably Pandora. She might be a little clingy, and sometimes lazy, but when she wanted to go off on one of her adventures, Mukul wanted to go with her. If she didn’t end up causing chaos with some of her magic, Mukul caused chaos with the power of his personality.

Magical Abilities: Mukul controls electricity and is able to set the amps to small, irksome buzzes all the way to fried toast; though he’d never use his powers to kill someone…just make them think twice before messing with him or his family again. His power could be very useful in charging electrics or making light. However, Mukul uses it for entirely inappropriate uses. Running around and shocking his entire family until they all look like multi-colored dandelions is usually what he uses his power for.
Anything Else: This family sounds awesome. I’d love to RP with them, even if I don’t win ^_^
Cute Kitty Picture!: Kitteh~ Prompt Number: 2
Prompt Response:

They were kits now, and they were supposed to go figure out what their magical abilities were…if they got any from their parents at all. Mukul was in a grumpy mood; he’d finally come out of his bowl, and Mom had to go give them homework. He wanted to play not go out on a quest. Sulking, Mukul hung back from his siblings. They had all set out together, thinking they’d split up one at a time as they found their powers. Looking back at his parents, he stuck his tongue out at his mother’s backs before turning to catch up with the younger ones.
The others seemed to be excited about the ‘adventure’, voices chattering, wings fluttering, tails waving around behind them. Mukul contemplated the waving tail for a minute before grinning. Oh, this outing just got fun. Crouching down, Mukul began to stalk his unsuspecting siblings. If they didn’t notice him, he would scare them silly, giving them the shock of their young lives.

Slowly. Slooowwly. NOW! Mukul jumped forward, bopping the two slowest of his siblings right above their tails. Only something odd happened. He could feel something strange, like warmth flowing down his arms. Small sparks came out of his paws, lifting the fur on his sibling’s tails up and out in a poof. Combining the static-y fur with two startled, indignant yelps, was too much for Mukul, and he collapsed with loud giggles. He could do nothing but continue giggling helplessly as his siblings pounced on him in revenge. Oh, he couldn’t wait to show Mom his power.

Which Bowl: Female Twin
Bowl Preference: Eldest Male, Female Twin, Male Twin
Name of Bowl: Melia Alkaid Pardus
Meaning of Name: Melia is the genus for the chinaberry tree, whose berries are poisonous to humans, though not to birds. Alkaid is a star known in some cultures as being unlucky, though it is also one of the brightest stars in the sky.
Personality: Melia is a somewhat darker child of the Pardus line. She enjoys toying with small bugs before either letting them go or crunching on them, with the exception of moths, as she sees them at being more catlike, due to their fuzzy bodies. She too seems to have a knack for potions, but also holds a good amount of earth magic, evening her out more than her eldest sister. She almost never rests, and is always trying to refine her magic…And her poisons. She’ll mellow out a little more as her life goes on, and as her interactions continue with the family.
How he/she Views His/Her Family:
Tambre- Tambre’s word is god and not to be reckoned with. Melia dreams of becoming her mother, someone she sees as strong and fearless. Melia can be just as hard headed though, which may lead to some strife between mother and daughter, though there is nothing in the world that could ever make Melia truly hate her.
Sabine- Melia finds her other mother’s relaxing to be slightly lazy, though is thrilled when she goes to hunt for mice, often begging to join her. She can never stay fully angry at Sabine, and even though she doesn’t want to admit it, she tries to tire herself out enough so she can justify getting a catnap in with her mom.
Pandora- Pandora’s kit-like nature is an annoyance to Melia, though it’s paired with a deeper respect, due to her expertise in potions. She can tolerate the excitable elder sister, and will eventually grow to love her more than she thought she would, probably through the bonding of learning.
Padma- Melia adores her elder brother’s hard work, and tries to keep up with him with her own magic, though she secretly knows she’ll never be able to outdo him. Though perhaps she can teach him a thing or two about earth magic.
Paitalyi- He’s an absolute mystery to Melia. She’s never sure what to think of him, since he himself is of magical origins, though does accept him as a brother. Most of the time she just watches him from afar, usually a perch in a tree.
Her Bowlmates- This will depend on personalities and such, but I see Melia being somewhat envious of her more magically inclined siblings. She does have her own magic, though it will probably not be to the extent of some of them. Even so, she’ll probably insist on making small necklaces for each of them with some sort of cure-all antidote…Just in case.
Magical Abilities: Melia has an extreme talent with poisons of all things. This does include the ability to make antidotes, or at least to attempt to. Otherwise, she has a specialty of earth magic, which can be, but not limited to, manipulation of vines, increasing the growth rate of plants, and so forth.
Anything Else: I adore family rp yes please. ;u;
Cute Kitty Picture!: Another of my cats
Prompt Number: 3
Prompt Response:
She had always been envious of her Padma’s talent. Here she was, poor little Melia, with her only magic being plants. Not to say she wasn’t good at it, but it still paled in comparison to her eldest brother’s variety. Melia would watch him from afar most days, still a small kit, and tried to do the things he would. It just wouldn’t work though! She couldn’t summon fire, or have the air whisper to her, or call bolts of lightning from the sky. She could cause a sprouting to grow a little, but that was it! She felt terribly discouraged, especially after watching her own bowl mates excel at their talents. It came to the point where she didn’t feel like doing anything for once, a rare occurrence for the little kit.
And that was where Tambre came in.
She wasn’t used to watching the twin girl be so discouraged. Melia had usually been the first up in the morning, and last to go to bed, including the times the young kit had snuck away to practice more and been caught…Tambre was sure there were plenty of times where she hadn’t caught her as well. Carefully, she laid down next to her, wrapping a tail around the girl.
No words needed to be said, just the comfort of her mother’s warmth and love was enough. Melia finally let it out, sobbing all her small troubles away to her, at last collapsing into an exhausted sniffle against her mother’s fur. There had been quiet reassurances through flicks of the tail against her head, and finally, with a small smile, Melia fell asleep, and dreamed a world of magic…Of trees tall in summer, and flowers in bloom for eternity. A secret grove she could escape to.
It was that night, she vowed to make it real.

Which Bowl: Oldest Boy
Bowl Preference: Oldest Boy, Female Twin, Male Twin
Name of Bowl: Magnus Al Na'ir Pardus
Meaning of Name: Magnus means "large; the great" in Latin. As Magnus is a self-obesessed person with a very large ego to match, I thought it fit him pretty well. Al Na'ir is a star in the constellation Grus (the crane), and the name translates to "the bright."
Personality: Magnus' personality balances between extremely dangerous and very mellow, as well as being very self-centered and egotistical. He was always a very talented child, and always proud of it-and, more importantly, himself. He centered more on himself and his achievements than his family, although he does consult with some of his older siblings on magic that he has yet to achieve at. For all of his outer obsession with himself, though, he doesn't ever truly feel that way, and he hates himself for putting his family through it. He's a surprisingly calm and down-to-earth person on the inside, but deeply afraid that he'll somehow hurt someone he cares for. He's tempermental and has anger issues, and he has difficult controlling himself when he reaches that point. Even the most harmless statement can set him off, and after a nasty experience with one of his old friends, he withdrew from his friends and family and isolated himself as best he could (this happens in his childhood, so as a kit he will act like this). But even though he cut himself off from them, they don't understand and often seek him out, so decided in the end that the best repellant was to make himself as unappealing as possible and act like a complete jerk to keep them at bay. Oftentimes a friend or upset family member might show up and yell at him for it, but he doesn't find it upsetting in the least. Rather he finds it soothing, because a part of him believes that he deserves it for doing this to them. In his extensive free time, he focuses himself entirely on his magic so that he can eventually learn how to to control his temper, maybe even his magic, and then work his way back into the family. When he is older, as I don't see him succeeding at this for quite some time, he'll be very bitter and constantly angry, which will only serve to make his temper even worse. I'm hoping that when he finally gets himself a mate, he/she will work their way through this and save him from himself, maybe even work with him on his temper and his fire magic.
How he/she Views His/Her Family:
Tambre Pardus: Magnus adores his mother, as she is a great source of comfort for him in times of weakness. She's also very good with fire, so he knows she won't be too nervous around him and his main element, whether or not she understands how dangerous it is. He's pretty sure his mother understands why he secludes himself from the family, more than he's comfortable with her knowing, but she never pulls away from him like the others. She even stops by, and she is the one person Magnus isn't afraid to be around. She sometimes yells at him, but he finds it more soothing than upsetting.
Sabine: Magnus tries to avoid his other mother at all costs. He berrates himself the most over this, because he knows it hurts, but he also realizes it's for the best. She has no magical ability because she isn't a Pardus, and so he avoids sticking around her at all costs. If he were ever to lose he temper around her while they were alone, and it would be likely to happen, she'd have no way to protect herself, and he doesn't want to see her hurt because of his weakness.
Pandora Pardus: From time to time he'll wiggle his way into his older sister's presence for a lesson on potions. Being one of his worst talents, he finds that her input helps, but again, he limits it to only the most desperate of situations because she doesn't have much control over her magic.
Padma Pardus: Much like with his mother, he has little fear of being near his brother, although he still avoids him. He seeks him out most of all because of his talent with magic, and since he has that talent, Magnus doesn't feel like he's much of a threat to him. Still, to be fair to the rest of his family, he avoids him. He likes that lilac smell around him; it soothes him.
Paitalyi Pardus: Paitalyi confuses him to no end. On one hand, he is unlikely to upset Magnus, but on the other, his very existence is a mystery to him. He thinks of him kind of like an magic tutor, but also a science mystery.
Younger Siblings: He's extremely protective, but also very evasive of his siblings. He is always watching, always looking out for them, but that also means avoiding them like the plague. If there ever was a time that his siblings were in danger, he would also be there to aid them, and god help any enemies. That volatile temper of his can be put to very good use from time to time. Who knows? Maybe he could "accidentally" burn someone's house down. You know, hypothetically . . .
Magical Abilities: Magnus has extremely strong magical abilities, and not only in one area, either. All if his talents somehow tie into his emotions, though. He's most talented at subtly manipulating emotions, especially negative ones; hate, lust, upset, anger. All he has to do is look the person he wants to manipulate straight in the eyes and mentally suggest to them what he wants them to feel; it's almost like talking. Depending on the strength of their will, whether or not they have a will stronger than his, they may or may not comply. Since Magnus is a stubborn boy, usually this means that he succeeds. While he can control emotions, though, they have to align with the emotions he feels, so he generally struggles with happier emotions, like love and joy. He dabbles a bit in elemental magic, but tends to avoid fire because of his volatile temper. His best element actually is fire, but he knows that his hold on it is tenuous at best, and as he is prone to random flashes of extreme anger at even the most innocent of words, he thought it might be best not to practice that unless he is completely at totally alone-and he never really is. He has no control whatsoever over earth magic, and has a little bit of control over wind, but has a surprising amount of talent with water. He's never really thought much of it, though. He can concoct a pretty decent potion from time to time, but more often than not, his potions explode in his face. He only manages to salvage his pride by continually making the potion until he succeeds once.
Anything Else: He rarely talks to anyone and deeply detests all things fluffy, cute, or happy, so it would probably be best not to bring them anywhere near him, lest he lose his temper . . . again. He has a natural curiosity that often gets him into trouble, but also aids him in his magic. He finds that the smell of flowers soothes him, so he always carries a bundle of them around so as to calm himself if he does accidentally run into someone and they upset him.

Prompt Number: 2
Prompt Response: Magnus swung on the rickety swing, laughing and smiling. He'd been much happier then, and not so obnoxious, but that had been before. His friend, Ed, sat next to him, as they competed to see who could swing the highest.

"I'm going higher!" Magnus declared, violently swinging his legs out to slice the air as he arced upward.

"Never!" His friend Ed copied his movements to follow him up, and when they reached the top, they were even with each other, but they didn't care. It was all good fun, not really the competition they claimed it was.

"Next time, then. Next time I'll win, you hear?" he yelled, and they started up again for another round. Time and time again they matched each other swing for swing, and they just laughed. They kept it up for hours, just laughing and poking fun at each other until the two of them tired out. He was supposed to turn up for dinner sometime soon, but the sun hadn't gone down quite yet. "Why don't we sit down for a sec?" He panted, collapsing to the grass before Ed had the chance to respond. Ed silently folded himself down, somehow not quite as tired as Magnus. "When do your parents want you home? We could play some ball before you have to go! Or go for a run?" A run? Magnus thought. Why isn't he completely out of it? "How are you not tired?" Magnus whined, flopping his arms out to his sides. "Oh, and I need to be home by sunset."

"Sunset?" Ed arched a brow, a cocky smile playing on his face. "My parents are letting me stay out until ten." Magnus frowned. "Isn't that kinda late? I'm going home before sunset, anyway. You can stay out until ten, but I can't stay." Ed only laughed, a laugh that set Magnus' teeth on edge. "Lame. C'mon, just stay with me. We can do lots of stuff together." Magnus' frown deepened. Who did he think he was? He couldn't stay with him! Why couldn't he just accept it and just move on?

"No. I just wanna go home tonight. My parents are making my favorite food." A blatant lie; he didn't even know what they were having for dinner, and Ed seemed to suspect that, because that disappointed look on his face worsened. "C'mon, just stay with me! I don't wanna be out here all by myself." As if to make the idea more appealing, Ed ran over quickly to the other edge of the darkening park. Magnus slowly crept the other direction, toward the fence that separated the park from the street and readied himself to hop over, but Ed returned quickly with a basketball. He tossed it at Magnus' chest. "Look! We even have a ball! We can play basketball together. Just stay another couple of hours."

But Ed pushed him too far. He reached out for Magnus' wrist and gripped it hard in his fist, then began forcibly pulling him to the small basketball court. Magnus cried out and yanked his hand back. "Why won't you just leave me alone?! I DON'T WANNA STAY!" Ed recoiled, uncertainty flaring in his big blue eyes. "But-but we could-" "No, we can't! I. Have. To. Go." Ed furrowed his little nose, glaring heatedly at Magnus. "You don't have to yell at me. I get the message." Magnus had already reached out and gripped Ed's wrist tightly, though, and even thought Ed tugged with all his might, he couldn't get free. "Hey, what's the deal? Let me go!"

The look in Magnus' eyes unsettled him, and he frantically tugged, and then tried prying at his hand, but he couldn't free himself. Magnus just stood there with that crazy look in his eyes. He made a terrible mistake. He reached out in terror and punched Magnus. The look on his face instantly went from crazed to blazingly mad, and before he could run, fire had traveled its way up from Magnus' hand, still enclosed around his wrist, to set his jacket ablaze. Instantly Magnus regretted it. He released his hand in shock, unable to move as his friend-or was it ex-friend now?-frantically patted at the blaze, but only managed to sear his paws. "HELP! HELP!!" Magnus snapped out of it and pulled him toward the water fountain, shoving his arm at it.

After wrestling the jacket from him, he managed to control and eventually put out the fire, but the haunted look in Ed's eyes told him things would never be the same again. Both his and Ed's parents had turned up by then, and Ed's parents were pulling him as far as possible from his family. "I-I'm sorry," Magnus whispered, tears gathering in his eyes. "I-I d-didn't mean to." He started to cry, but Ed and his family were already rushing away from them. It didn't even have anything to do with the fact that Ed was injured, only that they wanted to get as far away as possible from Magnus and his family. His parents wrapped comforting arms around him, but Ed shrugged it off. He wiped the tears from his face, and when they returned home, he shot to his room and slammed the door.

Looking in the mirror that day, he decided that it would be best if he just left everyone alone. He moved his things to a much smaller area well away from the house and began to push anyone who sought him out away; it was for the best.

(( I'm not sure if this counts as two, but it is him discovering his powers. If not, it can be 5. ^^ ))

This ends in roughly 4 hours~

Which Bowl: Eldest (Can also be used for male twin~)
Bowl Preference: Out of these two? Eldest then male twin but all pretty equal
Name of Bowl: Mirabilis Asta(First name should start with an M. Second name should be a name related to astronomy. And they should have the last name Pardus.)
Meaning of Name: Mirabilis is the latin word for the flower Marvel of Peru and means timidity Asta means star.
Personality: Mirabilis is rather quiet. He's literally a little shadow to his family, following them around to make sure they're alright. He prefers to keep his voice low and steady, knowing that he can win almost any argument by not getting angry about it. He's a smarty pants, preferring to read the books and learn what he can about magic then actively practice it. He hopes to be the source of knowledge for his family, so when they're confused about their powers, or can't seem to find them he can help. He understands this may annoy his mother but he feels this is his true calling.
How he/she Views His/Her Family: Tambre- He loves her, and hopes she understands him and accepts that he isn't going to use his magic all the time. He watches her to learn about her abilities and finds it increasingly fascinating how she is able to do so much.

Sabine- His other mother greatly confuses him. While he does feel the occasional spaz of being a cat he can't seem to relate to how she can just relax and take naps instead of wanting to go out and learn, expand her knowledge. He has a soft spot for her when she's being playful though, and if she asked he'd probably put down whatever he was doing and go out hunting with her, because he's a sucker for a good hunt.

Pandora- She's probably the sibling he feels closest to. It's not that he's interested in taking up potions per say but just the fact that potions aren't actively using much magic, and they require books to keep their recipes which means he has more of an excuse to stock up on them. He wants a basic knowledge of potions but still, it's the knowledge that he's after.

Padma- He's curious about his brother. The two of them are somewhat standoffish but for different reasons. He finds a comfort in being with someone who's more silent like him and he doesn't feel he needs to speak to be understood.

Paitalyi- Gosh you might want to keep Mira away from Paitalyi. Because he's obsessed with discovering how and why he was born. It's cute but a little strange the way the normally silent boy babbles about different things around his brother. He hopes to be the one to figure out how it actually happened.

Littermates- They're little shadow. He loves them all and hopes for only the best for them. He keeps a little diary and writes about their powers, keeping track of them, seeing if there's any similarities between the siblings and their powers or if it's just random chance. They're the only ones he'll use magic for instantly if asked, especially if they're in need.
Magical Abilities: He has them, but doesn't really use them. What he does have are more useful abilities, levitation, summoning, intensifying his concentration so he can focus on what he's reading and so on.
Anything Else: I'd honestly love for him to eventually meet all the Pardus' and catalog their abilities and such, to write a Pardus powers book that might help future generations.
Cute Kitty Picture!: xXx
Prompt Number: 1
Prompt Response: It's strange, Mirabilis thought, as he found himself cuddled against his eldest sister's chest, that he didn't mind this. He liked affection as much as the next cat but he never liked this kind of pressing attention that she was giving him, where he was all she was paying attention to and was almost overbearing. But this was Pandora, the sister he adored above all.

He wasn't a sicko, his adoration was completely familial. He admired what she did with potions, the way she could be so childish but so wonderfully knowledgeable. He did whatever she wanted. Even if it messed with his constant search for knowledge about magic. And now she was totting them all off on some strange scavenger hunt.

He didn't want to look for things himself so when his siblings had darted off in a thousand directions he had instead followed her around as she bounded excitedly after them, trying to see if everyone had found the correct items and if they hadn't giving them hints to help them along.

It took him about half way through to realize how clever she was. These were potions ingredients, nothing dangerous or hard to acquire and nothing that required magic to get. The thought blinded him with it's brilliance and he had a huge grin the rest of the time, even when his siblings teased him for not joining them. He had the best family.

Which Bowl: Male Twin
Bowl Preference: Eldest Male, Female Twin, Male Twin
Name of Bowl: Morus Caph Pardus
Meaning of Name: Morus is from the genus of Mulberry, which can be used in wines and food dyes. Mulberry is also useful for feeding silkworms. Caph is the modern name of Cassiopeia, a constellation named after a queen who boasted about her beauty.
Personality: Vain and lazy, Morus takes relaxation to a whole new level. He doesn’t like practicing his magic all too well, and would rather instead find the perfect sunny spot to laze in. He’s extremely laid back, and certainly doesn’t mind sharing his spot with any of his family, after all, the more the merrier.
How he/she Views His/Her Family:
Tambre- While Morus understands his mother’s push to practice magic, he certainly doesn’t agree with her. He’d prefer to be babied, or hide somewhere to sleep instead.
Sabine- Aaah yes, his main influence. Morus loves napping and lazing around, and is certainly trying to outdo his other mother. He doesn’t partake in her adventures…unless there’s something really worth it at the end.
Pandora- Pandora is active, something Morus doesn’t always enjoy. However, he does greatly respect her abilities with potions, and he can always try to quiet her down with his magic...
Padma- A rival, though Morus can’t bring himself to try and fight against him. Too much work, he thinks, so he just takes to watching Padma practice instead.
Paitalyi- The interesting one. Morus can never bring himself to decide on what he thinks of Paitalyi, since he is a child of magic, and in his vision, magic is always flowing and changing.
His Bowlmates- Depends on personalities. He’ll definitely like them though. Maybe enough to even –gasp- play with!
Magical Abilities: Morus is gifted with soporific magic. He usually can use it to ease those into sleep, or at least into a daze, but also as he grows, finds he can make those enjoy themselves a little much, as if they were drunk.
Anything Else: ALL DA FAMILY RPPPP
Cute Kitty Picture!: My last and final cat
Prompt Number: 4
Prompt Response:
The family line had seemed to have changed when young Morus entered the world. Whilst his siblings embraced the hunter side of the cat, he did not. Sure enough, he had known of the family’s defining features, he no doubt had some of his own, but he felt no need to hunt. In his lazy daze, he halfheartedly wondered if something was amiss, perhaps he wasn’t a true Pardus, though his magic spoke otherwise.
It worried him, to the greatest extent the boy had ever been worried, as even his other half took her nature to pride, though then he finally stopped looking at his siblings. His mother, Tambre, certainly was not who he got it from. She was always hard working, the strive for perfection, of perhaps something more, driving her. Then, there was Sabine. Ah yes, that was who he knew he got it from! She lazed in the sun as he did, yawned and stretched, and yet there was something far different in her as well. She hunted, she toyed, she exhibited a drive. This too was not Morus.
But there was nothing wrong with being unique, he accepted. After all, what was a cat without its naps?
