Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name of Soquili and Link to Image: Frosta
Link to Teepee: Teepee
Links to RP(s) that show the Soquili has met both the first and second examples of 'what makes an Elder': Teepee <- it have all of the RP's there. But heres two that I think stands out for the eldership.
[x] <-- lending a helpful hand to her 'brother' about his first time being a parent
[x] <-- helping a stranger with er relationship problems
Why would your Soquili (IC) choose the Elder path? Frosta is one kind-natured mare that won't hurt anything and is always quick to jump in to protect her loved ones or anybody that is in trouble. She have been around for very long time so she have retained some wisdom and experiences that she is eager to pass it on to anybody who wants them. Everybody feels that Frosta is easy to chat with because she is not judgemential and she likes to laugh and have fun. If someone does confide in her, she will just stay silent and won't tell anybody at all because its not her business to do that. Frosta feels that she is ready to become an elder due to the fact that she have been through so much.. raising all 5 children on her own, fending off any harmful things from hurting her, adopting an abandoned alicorn.
Why have you chosen the Elder path for your Soquili OOC? Personally, I think Frosta will be perfect because she have this maternal side that always show all of the time along with her calm, serene and good-natured sides. She have been around for very long time and there were alot of RP's with her (and I plan on do more with her soon!) developing her personally gradually over the time. I am very proud of how she turned out IC'ly wise because of things she had to experience, soquilis she met and the wisdom she learned throughout the years.

Frosta is probably only soquili in my herd that I REALLY want to move up to eldership.

Name of Soquili and Link to Image: Izusa
Link to Teepee: Teepee
Links to RP(s) that show the Soquili has met both the first and second examples of 'what makes an Elder':
Unfortunately a few of these are unfinished but they show that Izusa is out there trying to teach and help those of Kalona blood (especially the younger ones, something she feels is important);
X X X

And then all the other rp that Izusa has been in (which includes external links, journal entries and copy n pasted rp) can be found on pages 2, 5, 7, 10 & 11
Why would your Soquili (IC) choose the Elder path?
Izusa is the eldest, the first Kalona and for her it would be a natural choice. She hasnt always been as vicious or slightly unhinged as she is now, but tried to keep true to herself, despite being surrounded at a young age by Soquili who had no understanding of why she was different.
As she grew, so did her character and she revels now in who she is, even more so now that she has had a family of her own. Despite her children being half-kalona, she feels that bringing them into the world will only further her race.
At one point she was furious for herself for succumbing to any kind of affection, especially from one who wasnt a Kalona, but she is determined that she will never be weak like that again and will be a spiteful little example of how Kalona should be.
Why have you chosen the Elder path for your Soquili OOC?
I've always wanted Izusa to be an Elder, and as she is the very first Kalona, I think she makes the perfect candidate. She hasnt always been the perfect example of a truly evil Kalona, being on her own during her formative 'years' meant she was exposed to unwholesome attitudes, like affection and caring ( XD ).
Personally I would have loved to have rp'ed her far more then I already have before applying (and finished the rp's I started but I went on a hiatus and my will to rp is only now coming back) but I think she has shown that she wants to make Kalona as superior as she believes they should be. I want Izusa to be an Elder more then anything, and knowing that she is an Elder will only reinforce everything that Izusa has strived to be.
I am well aware that her having had children with a non-Kalona would make her a slightly hypocritical Elder Kalona, but I think those experiences only serve to make her who she is, she is determined that it will be her only slip in her life.

Name of Soquili and Link to Image: Hania
Link to Teepee: Teepee
Links to RP(s) that show the Soquili has met both the first and second examples of 'what makes an Elder': Link <-This link leads to a thread that holds most of my main thread RPs from a while back. Go to post that says The Late Afternoon (have to scroll, sorry! Would put it here in this post but it would stretch the page) and Family Time.
Why would your Soquili (IC) choose the Elder path? Hania tends to lend a 'hand' in times of need by giving off a more cheerful disposition. He acts goofy and silly, but in reality he's always watching out for others; he is protective of his children and many of them look up to him as a prime example of how to live life well. He has made many friends and continues to hold those friendships. His path to becoming Elder involved having to accept and understand how his children acted (ex. his first three offspring) and how he had come to love his children all the better.
Why have you chosen the Elder path for your Soquili OOC? Hania is my first Soquili, and he developed his characterization through much RPing. I also 'grew up' with him, so to speak, and personally, he has a very mature side (though it rarely shows) and this often appears most when he is dealing with a very tough situation, and he always offers comfort and hospitality to all (though with Kalonas he's still fair skitterish).

The discussions began yesterday when the first entry was submitted and have continued on since then. That being the case, we were able to agree on four Soquili who will now be joining the ranks of the other Elders.

These changes will not take place ICly or for breeding raffle purposes until the Elder art is provided for them. Lil is currently working on the edits (hair, wings, etc.) so your patience will be greatly appreciated.

Without further babbling on my behalf, I would like to congratulate the following Soquili and their owners:

Yei Umeko - Paramekia Darkheart
Flame - Celeanor
Celendria - Rein_Carnation
Glamrock - Meeki

If you have any questions as to why your Soquili was denied please PM them to this account and they will be addressed.

Thank you all for showing intrest, we hope everything goes as smoothly next time. ^^
