I'ZWANTZPURPLECHEETARGIRLKTHX
Name: Akanke (to meet her is to love her)
Rank desired: Ugvstili

Personality: Akanke is a sly, smart, and cunning girl. She knows she looks good and uses that to her advantage. She can manipulate with the best of them, and has NO problems with taking advantage of someone- especially if she gains from it. Akanke loves her life, and is one of the happiest members of the pride. She does what she wants, when she wants, how she wants. She is a strong cheetah, quick and feisty, who can defend herself easily. She has proven herself in fights many times over and can come across as slightly intimidating to someone new.

Small RP Blurb: She tried to keep the surprise from showing on her face, but it was difficult. Thona.. wanted her? Well. Well, well. This could be interesting! Akanke had heard about Thona's demands, and she was a loyal member of the pride through and through. It was nothing strange for Akanke to mate, or witness mating, for lust rather than love or duty. A small, sly smile curled the edge of her lips upwards while her eyes locked on her King sensuously.

"Well, how could I refuse such a strong, clever, and handsome male, hmm?" Akanke stalked in a slow, swaying circle around her King. This could be beneficial for the both of them, she thought. If she became pregnant with the kings' cubs.. Well. That could be very interesting. Akanke knew she probably wouldn't make a good mother, but, she could raise the cubs to be faithful, loyal members of the pride. she also knew that the pride needed some strength. she could provide that! Or, rather, Thona could help her provide it.

Akanke flicked the tip of her tail up to brush against Thona's face, meeting his gaze levelly. A purr tickled the back of her throat and she lowered her head, silently acquiescing to her King. " I consent, my King," was her answer, and a small voice in the back of Akanke's mind giggled uproariously.

hope this is alright XD dont know much about Thona other then his given personality, so I hope these are things he would say =) and I hope its not too long ;XD didn't reall mean for that to happen. Lol I can shorten it if you want ^^

Name: Hotah
Rank desired: Ganiyogi
Personality: Conniving, he seeks to please himself and no one else. He is very suave, and a good talker. He can persuade most to agree with him, even if it just means persuading females for a night of ‘fun’. He has aspirations to become the king, but knows it would be very difficult. He would have to off the offspring of the king, and him. Hmm…seems like too much work. Either way, he has little loyalty to anyone. But…he can fake it well. He can make you believe he’s your best and most loyal friend. That he would die to protect you, and fight at your side. Only in truth, when your back is turned his fangs might find their way into your throat. He enjoys the company of females, but its rarely anything serious. He has no aspirations at the present time to gain a mate. His kind of lady needs to be worthy of him, and he has yet to find one that fits that role. In short, he hates the king and wishes him dead. But no one but him would know this. He hides it well.
Small RP Blurb:

With a yawn and a stretch, the young rogue male leopard walked along the plains, his eyes have been watching a pride for some time now. Their leader is a hot headed good for nothing flirt. He smirked at this, wondering just how easy or difficult it would be to take him out. Though looking at him, Hotah could tell the other male was physically stronger. Well then, he would just have to beat him in a game of wits now wouldn’t he? Well…first things first. He would have to get close to the king. And to do that, he needed in the pride.

He noticed that Thona seemed to be in a bad mood. Hmm, he wondered if a female turned him down. Oh well, none of his business. Well, now to put on the suck up act to get in. That was the first task, get in the pride. And to do that, he would need the king’s favor. He padded over to him, head low and his tail between his legs. He carried in his mouth a dead jackal, as he dropped it before the king. ”Oh great Ulagu Thona. I am Hotah and I bring this miserable scum of a creature as a gift for you. One less of their kind roaming about. I bring this thing’s body as proof. I wish to join your pride, and serve you oh great one.” he said as he knelt his head to the king. Oh yes, he knew how to act. And what a great actor he was. Considering what he said made him sick.

Thona didn’t look too impressed. It wasn’t like killing a jackal was that hard. But with a grin he turned to the younger male. Only that grin wasn’t very welcoming. ”So you wish to prove yourself. Very well, go kill and bring me fifteen Hyena, and fifteen dogs. And bring at least one alive, struggling for its last breath to me. If you succeed and don’t die, you may join. But if you fail, then well. Let’s just say you will cease to wish to join.” he said, the grin only growing wider. ”Return without fulfilling the entire quest, and I will slice you down where you stand. And of course you must bring every body, and don’t think you can take trips here. All or nothing.” he said as he laughed with his Unela'nvhi. He didn’t expect the male to make it. Killing all of those AND bring them all back at once? Ha!

Nodding his head, Hotah left. Hmmm…now lets see. How to go about this. He would go for the hyena first. They were harder to kill then the dogs. He was given 24 hours to complete the quest. A near impossible one it was, and he knew that Thona fully expected him to die. But he would prove that pompous king that he was greatly mistaken. He lay in wait in the bushes….waiting until one came close then…AH! He leaped, a sharpened stick clenched between his jaws as he went at the hyena with it. He never saw it coming. As it struggled against him, Hotah grinned. Normally he wouldn’t stoop to such levels as to use something like that, but he couldn’t risk a bite from a hyena. They had dangerously strong jaws.

He continued like this for a while until he had fourteen dead, stashed away not too far away from the pride. He would grab the final, living one after he got the dogs. Couldn’t have it dying on him now could he? For the dogs the stick wasn’t needed, as he used his strength to crush the life out of the poor creatures. Fourteen of them as well. One by one, he pulled them very, very close to the pride, covering them with large leaves to hide them. It was all a part of his plan. He then left again, going for the hyena first as he managed to get a young one, attacking it until it could no longer fight back against him. He then tied a rope around it's throat, pulling at it tightly to where it nearly choked it, and repeated the process with a wild dog. He yanked them limping back to the area where the bodies were stashed, he had scratches but they shouldn’t scar.

Once he had them all together, he called to the pride as they angrily ran to see who the intruder was. Thona walked ahead of them, seeing the male standing atop a mound of leaves The two heavily breathing and injured beasts ropes in his mouth. ”I see you brought the live ones. But I do not see the dead ones. Have you failed your quest for the honor of having my fangs kill you?” he asked, bearing his fangs to Hotah. The leopard grinned and shook his head. ”Not quite your majesty.” he said as he leaped from the mount, scattering the leaves as he did so to reveal the bodies to him. The others were shocked. He actually DID IT!? Thona had only given him that quest because he had been in a nasty mood and would like to see the male die. Letting out a laugh, he walked up and pinned down the terrified hyena and wild dog as he looked at Hotah. ”Very well, I am in a good mood after this little vixen spent some time with me..” he said as he motioned towards a beautiful young cheetah female, with floral patterns, before turning back to Hotah. ”So you can join. Now clean this mess up.” he said as he ended the lives of the two remaining before walking off to head back into the core of his pride. Hotah grinned. Step one, complete.

Whoa! I didn't realize this contest lasted for so long! xDDD

Can pride members still join up for the meta plot thingy?

Name: Aruna
Rank desired: Ganiyogi
Personality: He's insecure. He has low self-esteem, and that drives most people to bully, right? He berates others so they reach his level, only to make him feel better about himself. He's downright rude, brash, and outlandish. He's a chauvinistic jerk and kinda an a*****e. But he's really just trying to get attention, some think it was because he grew up without parents, but no one knows. He's not close enough to any singular lion, leopard, or lady to say.
Small RP Blurb:
Aruna sighed heavily. He was feeling particularly down today as he skirted the borders of quite the infamous pride. The Bhanu'Ecchumati, ruled by a leopard king. He'd heard quite the awful stories about them, and their monarch even more so. Rumor had it he blinded one of his own sons. Fleetingly a shiver passed down his spine. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea... But where else could someone like him fit in? He took a deep breath and gathered himself and trotted on into the lands.

His eyes darted around not trusting anyone to let him pass. He was a bigger leopard, but it seemed like many of these other pride members were beefcakes too, or maybe even beefcakier than himself. But he put on his tough face and growled at anyone he passed. That is, until he got to him.

The Ulagu of a blazing orange pelt, his crown of bones, and his dominant presence were worse than the stories. And today the worst of all. Everything about Thona screamed "I'm in a bad mood, cross my path and you'll pay" All the pride members were well versed in his body language and steered well away from him. Aruna swallowed hard but marched onward, not truckling to the leopard he hoped to make his leader. But then he thought. How was he going to convince Thona to let him join? He faltered for a moment, and fell back. It happened to be the awful luck of a pink and purple marked cheetah, female and very small, to be promenading so close. His eyes grew wide and he descended upon her like the wild beast he was. He smacked her around, pulled her tail and bit her ears, challenging and roaring all the while about how she'd wronged him in the past. It was entirely fabricated, of course, but his hopes were that he could impress this fiendish king and become one of his minions.
Aruna was a simple guy, that's all he wanted. To be normal and to fit in. It's all he thought of while he beat this cheetah into submission, and then he stopped when she ceased to move, wondering if he'd taken it too far, but his breathing heavy, and his body for the most part unbleeding, he slowly turned to face Thona... To get his final verdict...

Mew, please list the rank you want. It's easy to find.

Name: Ru // Wise
Rank desired: Ganiyogi
Personality: Slow. Ru checks, double checks, and triple checks on every decision he ever makes. Even after he makes the decision, he agonizes over it. Despite this, he is a strong fighter. It's the only time he makes split second decisions, when he's fighting. Never hesitating in a fight, he will drive himself almost crazy after it's over and, despite the often necessity, he remembers every last kill he has ever had to make. Even before he came to the pride, even when he killed out of food. Faintly obsessive, he documents everything in an internal monologue and likes to take souvenirs of his decisions, a lock of fur or a fallen feather, he hoards them away so he won't ever forget. To forget would mean that those died in vain and Ru could never do that, not to anyone.
Small RP Blurb:

Ru had been sunbathing, as he was usually found doing when he had nothing left to do to waste away the day. This day was different and with his eyes slightly slitted, he watched the male not far away. Ru had followed the male, pretending to be trying to find another spot to bathe in the sun. The male had caught his eye. He knew who it was, of course. He seemed to be in a bad mood though, a furious scowl twisting his face and making Ru frown as well. Bad moods were infectious, with something as an easy as a bad look, could be transferred from creature to creature.

Thona, as he was named, had begun to walk away. Ru was loosing his chance. Leaping to his feet, perhaps a little clumsily, he hurried after the male. He paused though. The male had no reason to listen to him, or even to glance his way. Ru needed something. Something to prove his worth. Spinning back, Ru raced to where he had been lying. Buried underneath a tree was his most prized possession. A multi-coloured, vibrant feather, plucked from his first kill as a cub. He nuzzled under the tree, clenching his teeth around the base of the feather, he pulled it from it's hiding spot.

Thona was far away now, almost beyond what Ru could see, but Ru wasn't about to give up. Not yet. Not until he had done something to prove his worth. Crouching low, Ru bolted across the savanna. He was no cheetah, so his movements were awkward but he was determined.

“My l-”ord, the title didn't fit. “Wait my l-”iege didn't fit either. Shaking his head, Ru panted roughly as he slowed when he approached the now still figure. Thona was watching him. Instead of wracking his mind for something to call the male, he padded until he stood not a metre from Thona. Lowering his head, breathing harsh around the feather, he lowered it to just before Thona's paws.

He took a step back, watching Thona from down tilted eyes. He hoped Thona would understand. This was Ru's everything. Everything he was, everything he'd ever been, was in that feather.
Would Thona understand? Had Ru done the right thing? Should he have chosen something else, other than the feather? The feather was girly. Thona was going to think he was weak. Dammit. He should have chosen something else.
Ru could only hope this wouldn't be one more situation he would regret in the years to come.
