[+] Na'vi Information [+]



As you may have noticed, though these ponies are all based on the Na'vi (whether closely or loosely), none of them are actually cosplays! They simply all look somewhat alike and travel together in a herd. Well, there's a story there! For quite some time, these ponies have lived isolated in a small valley beyond the lands that any ponies currently in the land know about.

Just recently, some unknown danger has come to the valley, prompting the First Warrior and Shamaness to lead a small group of their most trusted friends and companions out to find help. Shadowing them from above comes the beautiful Legend who founded the herd in years long past, Eywa. After many long days, the group has finally reached Dream Valley, and these ponies are seeking to tell their story. Who will listen and help them?

Note: OOCly, This is not going to be a huge shop metaplot thing. It's likely the herd will simply decide to re-form closer to/in Dream Valley and send messages to the ponies that are still in their original home to come join them. If owners want to take the plot idea and run with it - i.e. having some ponies go back to the original valley, setting up a bad guy or guys for plot there, etc that's cool. But it won't be shop-run, so don't hold back waiting for that!

Over the years in the Na'vi herd, different jobs and responsibilities have been formed in order to help them live their lives. They have always been a small herd, so everyone must do their part! The established ranks (which will be on these ponies' certs) are as follows:

First Warrior (only 1) - Always a male, this pony is usually mated to the Shamaness and helps to lead the herd
Shamaness (only 1) - Always a female, this pony is usually mated to the First Warrior and helps to lead the herd
Princes/Princesses (unlimited) - Children of the above pair. Any Prince or Princess may inherit a leadership role from his/her parents. A Prince or Princess will have this rank on their cert in ALL stages!
Consorts (cannot be over the number of Princes/Princesses) - Mates to the Princes/Princesses. These ponies also usually have other duties but are officially Consorts. IF a pony is plotted from baby-stage to be a Consort (arranged marriage basically), this rank may be on their cert in all stages.
Advisers (unlimited) - Older ponies who were once leaders, or have lots of knowledge. They also help to lead the herd.
Priests/Priestesses (unlimited) - Work with the Shamaness to help with any religious duties and praises to Eywa.

Hunters (unlimited) - These ponies hunt for the herd, finding the best areas with good food.
Warriors (unlimited) - These ponies protect the herd from dangers.
Healers (unlimited) - When someone gets hurt, these ponies are the ones to go to!
Teachers (unlimited) - These ponies teach the young of the herd about the ways of Eywa.
Crafters (unlimited) - These ponies are the artists, musicians, and poets of the herd.
Story Tellers (unlimited) - These ponies record the history of the herd and also sometimes make up stories to teach lessons.
Young Ones (unlimited) - All babies hold this rank.
Learners (unlimited) - All teens hold this rank.

If someone has a suggestion for more ranks, please PM the mule so that they can be discussed and possible added!

Some other notes: Though the First Warrior and Shamaness are USUALLY mated, this is not always the case. There have been instances in the past where one or the other leader had a same-sex mate. In that case, there is still a male and female leader of the herd - they may simply have other mates besides each other. ONLY a Prince or Princess may inherit a leadership position. Their mates (the Consorts), however can come from any family.

If anyone has other questions about this information, please ask!
