Tell me about this SoA!: Ambala is a lioness with scars on her front leg. She's proud of these because it shows she's fought many battles and won. Her sister died in a fight against hyenas and her pride. After that day, she became evil. She attempted killing the alpha lion's cubs when she was guarding them. She then attempted to kill the alpha himself. She got kicked out of the pride and she has killed ever since. She gained her scars after she got kicked out.
Low luck?: This is my first attempt.

Edits in green ^-^~

Name: Rynnit
Stage: Adult
Gender: Female
Species: Lioness (I'd like these if she wasn't smiling, and was certed reverse. If that'd be too much trouble these lines are ok)
Parents: n/a
Offspring: n/a
Description:Her body is a very pale tan with golden freckled and light spotting. She has a darker patch on her back/rump and her socks are darker, with three slightly darker than one.
As she can't have her braid, I'd like her 'hair to be red, the bangs covering her left eye and for her to have a red tip to her tail to match.
Her right eye is a bright green, the left is silver and dead with long since healed clawmarks. She also has scars over her body, not too many but enough to show that she had gotten into a pretty bad fight once.
Instead of her necklace I'd like a henna-like tattoo around her neck with the run featured on her ref sheet as the main 'pendant' and then more runes/patterns fanning out from there.

Tell me about this SoA!: While Rynnit is a cosplay of my OC Amirynth she is a character I love to RP and I think would be a lot of fun to involve and see her grow within the SoA world. Rynnit is soft spoken and shy. She prefers staying in the background and listening to others than being in the center of attention, a complete contrast to her former self. She usually keeps to the shadows, not wanting to show the scars from the pride attack that left her so ragged and skittish. Gentle and kind to younger cubs, Rynnit feels more comfortable around the unbiased, even if their questions can get a bit personal.
History: When she was born there was hopes that she would become the next seer of extraordinary power. A power that she never exhibited (whether she has any remains to be seen) She received special treatment from birth and was being groomed for important positions in the pride (who's name remains to be seen). Rynnit was gregarious and friendly to all and always was willing to give a paw to those who needed it. However fate seemed to have a way of twisting things. Everything that she touched seemed to wither after a time, the advice she gave turned sour, or things she helped with would fall apart and soon the whispers grew that she was actually cursed. Food stopped being in such abundant supply and then the rains stopped coming. One night the suspicious pride turned on her, attacked her and left her for dead. Rynn would never be quite the same after that. Bruised and scarred, loosing the sight in her left eye, she dragged herself to shelter and slowly recuperated. A loner on the outskirts of the other prides, she wishes she could return to the life she once knew but is too scared to cross those lines right now.
Plans: If I got her I'd love to poke around a little and see if I can find a pride she could have been from (tweeking her history if necessary) and a pride that I hope she will be able to join ^-^~ She has found a home with the Kitwana'antara when she is created. There are a few plot ideas we'll be tossing around in the few weeks to come *grins*
Low luck?: Never tried for one before!

Name: Kenji Raito
Stage: Adult
Gender: Male
Species: Lion - Old Rogue
Parents: n/a
Offspring: Alais Kibou, Silvain Kibou, Glaise Kibou
Description: Gold eyes (Like Silvain). Black base. Clay red mane and tail tuft (like Glaise's leg markings), clay red and macaroni orange (like Glaise's face markings) spots and splotches across his upper back legs and rump (like Glaise), clay red front leg markings similar to Alais' back leg markings, macaroni orange face markings similar to Alais' face markings. Inner ears are macaroni orange, nose is macaroni orange.
Reference Image(s), if applicable: Glaise, Alais, Silvain.
Tell me about this SoA!: The father of Alais, Silvain, and Glaise Kibou. Born to a pair of rogues that joined a rather loosely knit group of lions (not quite a pride, but they did help each other out), he started out a vicious and bratty cub, wanting what he wanted and not caring who he hurt. When he saw this behavior wasn't getting him anything...he tried figuring out a way to get what he wanted.

He started acting nicer, eventually becoming a sweet gentleman. Or he seemed as such, anyways. Underneath, he became more conniving, and truly more ruthless. He could play creatures against each other, and they never suspected him. He gathered 'friends' he could manipulate, who saw him as a great 'boss' to look up to, or a gentleman who could do nothing wrong. When he was an adolescent, he met a pretty juvenile girl, sweet and humble and bright. He decided he wanted her, that Esu'me Kibou would be his.

He began to 'woo' her, bring her presents and lure her in with sweet words. As his mane filled in and she became an adolescent, he began to subtly ward off any other suitors, causing 'accidents' when they tried to get near her. Eventually, she came to be seen as unlucky to anyone but her family and cubs. And finally, he caught her. She agreed to be his, and only his. And he began to tighten his hold on her, distancing her even from her family.

The first time he struck her had been an accident. He'd been so angry at a failed hunt, and she had simply been there at the wrong time, coming back from a rare visit with her family...He discovered he LIKED striking out at her. And every time he did, Kenji made sure she would think it was HER fault, that he did this because SHE deserved it. He even broke one of her back legs once. It never healed quite right.

He found another lioness, a pretty rogue not part of the group, that he desired. He began to sneak away and spend time with her. She didn't care if he smelled of another lioness. Nor did the other rogues he spent nights with.

Shortly after she finished growing, Kenji lost Esu'me. He returned to the den to find her gone. Enraged, he gathered some of his 'most trusted' pawns, and followed her scent. But he was always too slow. That fact alone made him angrier...he'd been outdistanced by a lioness his junior with a half-lame back leg! His pawns were eventually sent home...and he vowed he would find her again.

Esu'me was HIS. And she would learn that once again.

For the Future: Kenji will eventually cause trouble for Esu'me once again. He will find her in the Tete'boma, likely with a new mate, and he will begin to find ways to cause trouble for her, to make her life hell and to make the pride and her new mate want to get rid of her (it won't actually work, but he'll try!).
Low luck?: Nope.

Name: Ishara
Stage: Adult
Gender: Female
Species: Lioness (Old Lines)
Parents: ? x Pepo'zaleo
Offspring: N/A
Description: XD; I know the ref pics aren't great, so I'll do my best to describe how I'd like her to look. For starters, I would want her to have a dull grey coat. Then on her neck, I would like 5 gill markings in the form of the pretty pink frills. Her eyes should be a milky light blue (with no dark outline inside the eye so they stand out more), and her nose and inside of her ears should be dark grey. XP; Now here's where it gets tricky.
You can see from the ref pics and the vid that this shark is different colours in different places. Towards the back and on her tail, she should have a dull tan colour. Then on her paws/legs/belly extra, some dark grey. Then towards the front/top, some off-white. ALL of these extra colours should look faded, so they blend with the main coat colour at the edges instead of just looking painted on (like my crazy ref done in Paint). Just do what you think will look good. XD She's not meant to be super pretty, so even if you think she'll turn out badly, don't worry about it.

Tell me about this SoA!: Ishara is the High Priestess of the Kitwana'antara. She's an old member, but only recently rose to the rank of High Priestess after her mother, the previous High Priestess, passed away. Her mother died from the effects of the advanced stage of the disease and as a result she suffered greatly. This will have caused Ishara to question her faith for a while, before coming to the conclusion that the great Goddess of Pestilence simply needed her mother more than she and her Pride did.

Personality wise, Ishara doesn't seem like the most approachable of lionesses to most others. Although she's nice and polite when interacting with any pride member, she just has a look to her that makes others think twice before striking up a conversation. Now that her mother is gone, there's only three things she truely cares about; the Goddess of Pestilence, her King and her Queen. Obviously the pride's well-being is important to her, but as far as she's concerned, the Goddess of Pestilence and Royalty come before the rest. As long as they are happy, chances are the rest of the Pride will be happy too.

In regards to the disease, Ishara would only be in the beginning stage, although I may move her along to the intermediate stage down the line. Although it pained her to see her mother suffer, she doesn't fear the disease, and most likely wouldn't fight it should it get any worse. As the High Priestess of Pestilence, she believes that to fight the disease is to fight against the Goddess herself, which is simply blasphemy.
Low luck?: I've been trying for her for ages. Things are starting to get moving now with this Pride concept, and because her Rank is so important, she needs to be there for when the Pride is official.

Edited! Specified line preference, woops~

Name: Ukoga
Stage: Adult
Gender: male
Species: lion (old rogue lines)
Parents: ? x ?
Offspring: Kinagiri
Description: CC, so long as he can reasonably be Kinagiri's father! He should be green and I'd prefer the gold (and yellow eyes) not be used (so they can have come from her mother).
Reference Image(s), if applicable: Kinagiri
Tell me about this SoA!: I'm trying to kill two birds with one stone now. I would like to have a character in my own storyline for some of the Mwezi'Johari customs and I wanted to figure out the history of Kinagiri. Ukoga is from the pride (name undecided) that fought over land with the Mwezi'Johari before they moved. They lost but after all this time, those who remain will be trying to join the Mwezi'Johari. Nothing for certain is planned yet, it'd be easier to work out dramatic plots if there is at least one character I can play on that side.

Ukoga fought hard in the war and won't easily let go of his anger about losing, though he'd follow the remnants of his pride anywhere. He lost his mate and his daughter sometime during the war, believing that neither of them survived. He'll be one of few less than cheerful characters that end up in the pride, and he'll have some longstanding grudges against some of the older, original pride members (specifically including the only two guards who fought and survived the war that exist in the pride now, one in particular that I own xD). He's grumpy and selfish, except when it comes down to being loyal to his pride. And besides, it's just easier to stick with them (so he'd say). As for the existing character, Kinagiri, this just means she came from a pride in the midst of a war- which is why she doesn't talk about her past and why she has no interest in finding one to join.

Low luck?: No

.. yes, I had had another form posted but I deleted it a while ago.

Removed. Good luck all I'm loving the concepts!
Thank you :]

Tell me about this SoA!: This girl was born into my Ashnai'le pride concept, where she and her brothers were raised to be strong and capable warriors. The only girl out of a litter of three, she got along best with her twin; a male who was identical to her in everything except personality. His name was Ihaj, and he was fierce where she was calm; foolhardy where she was calculating; forgiving where she was vengeful. They loved one each other like siblings ought to, and were as close as close can be. The second brother, Jahi, was often left out of the twin's games, and he resented them for it. Jahi was always a manipulative, impulsive and insecure lion- so when Sahen, the bloodthirsty king, took a particular shine to his blue fur, the young lion welcomed it with open arms. Sahen wanted to know all about his family- he had asked many questions, and Jahi had answered them with pride. He told truths. He told lies. He told the King whatever it was that he wanted to hear, and this led inevitably to the destruction of his family.

This girl and Ihaj were leaders of the first rebellion; a small faction of warriors that had sought to overrule the Shatkona. They were quickly squashed out by his Ligi, and Jahi's tattling tongue. Jahi caught wind of what his siblings were planning in secret and, spiteful at them for not including him in their quest for power, spilled the beans to his King.

As punishment for daring to rise against him, the Shatkona slaughtered Ihaj before the entire pride and then enslaved the sister. She is his servant. For now.

Jahi was promoted from his position of hunter to one that he'd coveted for a very long time- that of a Ligi. There is a lot of bad blood left between him and his sister. Hers is an unforgiving soul.

Low luck?: Um, nah. But i would like to add that this is SoA is not for me. And for a contest that I will eventually be holding!
