Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Dastan
Stage: Adult
Gender: Male
Species: Lion - Newest lines please :]
Parents: ? x ?
Offspring: N/A
Description: Something similiar to Shujaa, but much lighter in color. (Perhaps lighter body, and a goldenish color mane)
Reference Image(s), if applicable: Shujaa
Pride intended for: Kusini'mwezi at first, and likely that is will he would stay even after the meta. But, depending on how things go, if he had to leave, he'd probably head for the pridelands. (see plot wise)
Plot: Dastan is second in command on the traveling rogues that have entered the Kusini lands. He listens to what his 'leader' tells him and acts accordingly to it. However, when he entered the dying pride, his heart immediately goes out to those trying to revive it.

Not liking what his 'leader' tells him (something alon gth elines of how they must overtake this pride and claim it as their own), Dastan is torn on really what to do. He has never been one to betray a 'friend', but he hates going against what his heart tells him is wrong.

((As the Kusini meta is still in the works, I can't say exactly how his plot would come out. All I know, is in the end---Dastan is a good guy. It would be up to the pride's elders to decide if he were to be allowed to stay or not. Because Dastan is really a nice guy, just in a bad situation---if it came to him being dislodged from the pride, then he would head towards the Pridelands to make his own happy ending story.))

Name: Zahur (egyptian for 'flower')
Stage: Adult
Gender: Male
Species: Lion, newest(alt) rogue lines
Parents: N/A
Description: See ref pic. Golden markings should have a slight glow, and you can toy with the sun marking on his shoulder, spiff it up a bit, and maybe make it a bit bigger since I colored up the ref a while back.

Plots:
Zahur was part of a very small family group of rogue lions living on the coast near the border of the desert. They were a close-knit bunch who cared for each other and revered the moon and sun as minor 'deities' to be worshiped and praised for hunting and for fair weather. They lived this way for much of Zahur's younger life, and he had a relatively happy childhood. His parents instilled him with an honorable set of morals and taught him that helping others is better than being selfish.

Tragically, once Zahur hit young adulthood, several of the oldest members of the group were claimed by sickness (not helped by their old age) and perished. Among these were Zahur's parents, and one uncle. Left with no leadership, the group, made of mostly young adults and their cubs, began to split up and go their separate ways after a short squabble for dominance ensued. Zahur left to wander the coast and see the world, driven off the family's small patch of land by greedy female cousins (and their husbands) who wanted the territory for themselves. As an only child to a pair of rogue adults, he had no immediate family left and no interest in remaining with his other relatives, who were now trying to push him away anyway.

Zahur will wander up the coast until he comes to the lush area of the Chione River, where he will meet up with Dawnwalker hunters and become interested in joining when he learns a little about their culture. Their religion will interest him greatly, and he will also be eager to join a group and be part of a community again.

If he manages to get in before or during the meta:
By interacting with others in the pride he will be able to see the trouble that the early heat is bringing to the pride lands, and may use this as a way to prove himself early on and show dedication in their efforts to hunt more and store food away.

Name: Corr'Ina
Stage: Adult
Gender: Female
Species: Lion(ess) > Newest lines
Parents: ? x ?
Offspring: None
Description: A pretty rainbow-striped banu for my U'W boy
Reference Image(s), if applicable: Ref
Pride intended for: Ukuucha'Wafalme
Plot: Even though she looks like a frail butterfly, Ina is a determined little thing. She thinks she take the world on her own even though she can barely hunt and she keeps getting into serious trouble. I wanted her to meet Azhar in one of those moments. I'm thinking he'll follow her around to make sure she doesn't get herself killed and eventually fall in love and decide to ask her to join his harem. She won't take it too well at first, drama ensues, all the expected stuff. But he keeps following her around and helping her until she can no longer imagine a life without him. And then she goes home with him. <3

Name: Tove
Stage: Adult
Gender: female
Species: lion (new or alt lines, whichever works best)
Parents: ? x ?
Offspring: none
Description: See ref.
Reference Image(s), if applicable: Tove

Plot:
I'd like her to be a thrall in the Myrsky Syntynyt. An obedient thrall who always does as she's told, but is still god awful because she creeps on everybody. She's long and skinny, with shorter than average legs, putting her somewhat low to the ground. She slinks around, somewhat snake like, and pops up behind people to look over their shoulder and ask what they're up to. Or sometimes she doesn't say anything and just sits there. Breathing. Watching. Always watching.

I also think it would be kind of amazing if she got pregnant and went up to random reaver males she'd never met before, much less slept with, and told them they were the father.

... she's a little off. biggrin

Name: Ekstèn Limyè - Outer Light
Stage: Adult
Gender: Male
Species: Lion - New or Alternate - whichever you feel he would look best on.
Parents: N/A
Description: See his ref & color palette. For the most part, his ref colors are a guideline - feel free to adjust them as you feel would be best. Keeping in mind his design. On his ref, he has a dark black coat, with a pale cream mane, and tail tuft - his mane should also have a slight slip of darker orange/yellow in it. Feel free to take liberty with it. His inner ears, eyes, and nose are all pale yellow. And the spider webs along his rump, toes, and tail are all cream as well - YES those are spider webs D: I fail :[ If possible I would like his eyes to be the pale yellow with possibly the darker orange within the yellow? [ As an idea, he's jack-o-lantern themed-]

This isn't on his ref, because I couldn't draw it: But, I want him to have a sort of 'carved' look on him. Perhaps starting from his face, in dark orange, and trailing down his body. Highlighted in pale yellow? I"ll post some different jack o lantern carvings below for you to grab inspiration from. As far as his carving goes - just have fun with it ^^

Plots: Well, long before the Pepo'porojo came to be, Eksten lived with his Mother, a lone, semi insane lioness in the rogue lands. His Mother was absolutely obsessed with lightening, going as far as to stand directly in the center of it, in order to better receive the messages, it was SO obviously trying to give to her. As time went on, his Mother's stunts became more and more severe driving Eksten to a point he had been avoiding for most of the two's lives. His Mother could no longer live on her own, and he was not capable of caring for her. But he had heard word of a pride, hidden in secrecy, that were just as insane as his Mother, and that she would be safe there amongst others of her kind. The Kizinga'Zaa. Without a word to his Mother about it, Eksten led her on a wild goose chase, using every trick in his book in order to get her there. But tragically, it wasn't meant to be, and his Mother was struck by lightening the evening before they would have reached the K'Z.

Devastated by the sudden loss of his Mother, he gathered a different assortment of her bones, and carries them with him everywhere. Feeling that the bones, allow him the ability to speak with his Mother, and by chain of reaction, other spirits as well.

The slowly declining mental health of this devastated male is finally close to his goal of reaching the Pepo'porojo. It is here that he hopes to be adopted into the pride, and be taught the ways of the spirits. Since he already feels he can talk to one, he feels that understanding them would be a great next step. As time goes on, Eksten will strive to be a great Poupe, but it hasn't been determined yet exactly how he will react to the entire spiritual zone that the Pepo'Porojo exist upon.
