Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name and image of Father:

Name and image of Mother:

Number of cubs currently in litter: 2
Number of cubs you're allowing to custom in: 2
Any Requirements(Optional things like, must be male, female, must have specific color scheme, if you'd like to see a personality): just.. no angsty I hate my parents cub xD ahai and Afu aren't the warmest parents around, but their cubs will be treated well and whatnot. Also, no sugar-sweet cubs either. It wouldn't suit the family. Nice/polite is okay, but we'd preffer rather they not all be cute/adorable/hero-esque.
Do you allow randoms into your litter: yes
A bit of history about the family (optional, in case the family is apart of a plot):
Any Notes or suggestions:
Afu's mom: Miye

* We'd like you to post the concepts here, please.
* The customed-in cubs will NOT have any edits, sorry.

Name of SoA: Shujaa'mlima(Mountain's Warrior) / Zanshi(Swift Fighter)
Gender: Male
Appearance:
- Eyes are purple/blue like Miye's.
- Black Mane (red or white dipped) as is his tail, not streaked like Ahali's.
- Ears like afu.
- Design similar to Afu's necklace markings around his own neck that will disappear once mane appear.s
- Black upper body like Ahali/Miye and White Bottom.
- A dark 'V' on his forehead.
Visual reference(optional unless parents request): N/A :<
Personality/if family wants to know: Shu, or Zanshi, will be a quite clumsy little thing as he tries his best to learn to walk about in the mountains. He will stick quite close to Afu's side and look up to his father as this giant behemoth that is quite intimidating. Actually, at his young age, he'll be a little scared of him! But as he grows up, he'll learn to hunt in the mountains and in doing so growing more into a "man". The necklace marking upon his neck is his thought of a gift from his mother. Once the mane comes around, he will think of it closer to his heart and hidden from any who would "take it from him". He will become a skilled hunter in the mountains later in life, but he'll still be a klutz at times and can be rather silly. Entire life, he will be very cubbish and loving toward his mother. He'll grow to appreciate and not fear his father as he grows.

I am hoping that he runs into many of the pride's members as he hunts and roams around with his parents. Getting to meet the Dukes and Duchesses, Lords and Ladies. As a Prince, he will be mannerful to everyone around him, but he stops that when he is alone or with someone who doesn't like to be mannerful all the time. The only ones he will "hero" for is if it is a cub in the pride, he believes everyone else can take care of themselves.
Any requirements that the family has:
No Angsty Cubs - check!
No Sugar-sweet - Check! Well, at least only to Afu blaugh
Polite/Nice - Check!
No Cute/adorable/hero-esque - Check!

Wow, very nice concept art, Daffu! Very cute <3

For the Tianxia slots:

Name of SoA: Common Name: Mteketezo (a great fire), Tianxia Name: Nan Shuo (You can never tell/be sure)
Gender: Male
Appearance: Mainly the black of his mother with scarlet and orange tints from his father.
Visual reference(optional unless parents request):

The intent was to have the red tinted with orange as a sort of fiery effect. His eyes are supposed to be the same blue as his grandmother's.
Personality/if family wants to know: He's interested in the social aspect of being a Prince more than anything else. He likes to be informed on current events and the going-ons of the outer houses, know everyone of the Tianxia. As far as personal involvement, though, he has a hard time wanting to be committed to anything aside from his siblings and immediate family. So he's like an acquaintance to everyone and friends with no one. Something like an emissary?

For the cheetur <3

Name of SoA: Jaali'winda (Powerful Hunter)
Gender: Male
Appearance: Black, but with markings in his mother's blue, and violet eyes. xD See reference. My...bad reference. I trust the colorist can do a better job.
Visual reference(optional unless parents request):

Personality/if family wants to know: Intensely loving, extremely empathic when it comes to those around him, he is full of energy and in love with his family and with life. He lives to please, and will strive to further the Achana, as well as to make his mother happy. A born follower, he has no desire to lead, but to support.

Name of SoA: Adin'ukali (Ornamental Fury) // Zhi Qiang "the will is strong"
Gender: Male
Appearance:
-eyes are a deep reddish-purple
-face markings like Miye, only in either a darker shade of black/grey than his base coat, or a similar red to the rest of his markings
-markings along his back and the underside of his tail like his father (the same color, too, would be great, although if they were a bit darker, that'd be cool, too!)
-necklace marking like his mother, although I'd prefer it to be in the same shade of red as the markings he inherits from ahali.
Visual reference(optional unless parents request): n/a, although I could probably whip one up if needed~
Personality/if family wants to know: Strong-willed, but also very aware of his position, and the duties that go along with it, Zhi Qiang (or simply Zhi to family members and/or those very close to him) holds the traditional values of the pride very dear.

That isn't to say he won't ever break a rule, or do anything wrong--he'd just be careful to avoid doing things that he would feel could bring shame to his family, or the pride as a whole.

A skilled hunter, he's the sort who, once he embarks on a task, won't give up unless he's thoroughly exhausted all possibilities, even if it means bringing pain, or greater hardship upon himself. This same stubborn streak, and focus, means that he's quite observant, and relatively cool-tempered, as a rule.

Family (and by this, I also include the more extended 'family' that one might consider a pride to be) is paramount, in his eyes--although not necessarily in the way we might typically envision a close family bond. It's something colored strongly by a sense of duty.

That said, he isn't entirely self-sacrificing, or overly heroic, either--he would give his life to defend the lives, and values, that the pride holds dear-but only if the situation really merited it (i.e. he's hardly likely to get into a fight-to-the-death over someone mocking, or belittling them, to give one extreme example.)

Perhaps his greatest flaw is that he'd sometimes find it hard to connect, on a personal level--that's not to say that he wouldn't feel affection for individuals, or that he'd be incapable of relating at -all- on a one-to-one basis...but he can sometimes be rather oblivious to individual non-essential needs, including his own. It's something I'd like to have a go at playing out, and the rigid pridal hierarchy of the Tianxia seems like a good place to have it be~

He'd also be quite arrogant, and would certainly view most with a certain air of superiority, given his high rank (and, with non-pridal members, an inherent understanding that their way of life is inferior to that of the Tianxia).

Any requirements that the family has:
I think I avoided the major don'ts that were listed~ best of luck to everyone trying~

((edited because the plaintext sans formatting bothered me D<))

for Ahali x Afu:

Name of SoA: Adhama (honor), He Shui (river water)
Gender: male
Appearance: miye-graysilver coat, afu-necklace, white ahali-belly/toes/mouth/undereye, black overeye, black mane/tail/hair, pink ear inside/nose, miye-blueeyes!
Visual reference(optional unless parents request): http://amy.viciousfate.net/ahaliafu.jpg
Personality/if family wants to know: humble, and would attempt to interact with everyone in the lands (as far as his paws can take him) when he is not getting tutored. has a thirst for knowledge, and pays crucial attention to everything he can learn and benefit from.

understands parents have more "important" matters to tend to, so he respects his parents from a distance, knowing that they are his elders, and gave him his life, and with that, a chance to help settle smaller disputes/problems for those who seek it in the pride.

gentle nature, greatest fault is that he is too serious, and is scarcely seen smiling (he would rather learn than have fun, thus as a child, he would not have experience of "child play" and stuff like that). he also doesn't act like usual stereotypes of his position. he prefers being treated like an equal, rather than a prince, though he would admit that being in a high position has gifted him with more knowledge than if he had been in a lower rank--that he is grateful for.

if the pride were to get in a war, he'd be the type who would take out as much as the opposition as he can, dying with honor in the process, rather than sitting back and watching others fall. he would not do that to be a "hero", but rather, he finds a strong connection to his pride, tradition, and people, so would exchange his life to save many others. he would severely dislike it if anyone had called him a hero because of his modesty and unindividualistic thinking.

tl;dr, loves to learn, overly modest + serious, unindividualistic
Any requirements that the family has: noted! rofl <3 thanks for the consideration. x3~
