A Pirate pride concept



Just a quick note :: I will not be running this pride it is simply a concept. I'm looking for owners. although 'kota's rank is 'captain' it's only his name really (nahodha'kota = captain hook) he will literally be an adviser to the pride the first mate and helmsman/ woman will acctually rule the pride!

This pride will basically be a pride of wanderers / vagabonds. They will travel between prides ‘selling’ wares from the prides they have been to before. Basically this means they are pretty much always traveling and can pick up those whom wish to travel. Like a ship they do have a birth though, that birth is a large cove by the sea, fenced in on all sides by great rocks and down upon this beach, an old wrecked ship, downed long ago by a storm on the shallow reef.

The pride returns to these shores every so often it is a safe place to bear cubs and simply be together as a pride, it’s a great place to rest and recuperate though they are never there all that long, just until they can pick up and go once again, cubs and all.

As with most pirate groups this is a multi racial group that means it doesn't matter if you're a lion, a hyena a cheetah or a wild dog (or any other beastie for that matter!)you can join and wander the world!

History

Once he left the pride lands Nahodha’kota found a love for traveling the world, he discovered ways to make things and found things in his travels which others valued. He found out that one pride, didn’t necessarily have what another pride had, though they might find these things useful and so he decided to form a pride a wandering pride, a trading pride, a vagabond pride thaw as hardly ever still because of it’s itchy paws.

'Bout the leadership

Basically although Nahodha’kota will be the ‘captain’ of this here ship he won’t be running the pride (he'll be a sort of advisor / go to guy for the pride but he won't be the ruling body). The ‘first mate’ and ‘helmsman’ will plot which course they are to take, ‘kota will simply be there to keep the pride together.

Religion

As they are pirates they are very in to superstitions, they believe whole heartedly in ghosts, spirits, seers and the gods and believe they will guide their paths. No good can come off an upset spirit so they leave ‘treasures’ at the seas edge to hopefully appease the gods and the spirits and keep their pride safe even on rocky shores.

Ranks

First mate (plottin tha course)
Helmsman/woman (keepin’ tha course straight)

Is this a lion only pride? Both of my newest boys are currently unrp'd, but with the personalities I gave them, would be easily slipped into the ideas and such of the pride.

Only problem is that one is a wilddog and the other a cheetah.

A traveling pride sounds so awesome though!

it would probably work better as an any beastie pride.so that any vagabond / wanderer could join it's ranks.

Alrighty, here is the deal biggrin I want to offer one of my boys up. But since it's no fun to have a bunch of the same sort of characters, I'm going to type up info on both of them. And then when there are more characters, we can choose which of the two to add to the pride.

Name : Gaerwn
Piccin :
User Image
Rank : Lookout.
History / personality : Gaerwn is a ghost of a creature, often fading in and out of the background without notice. Eyes always open to see everything around him, Gaerwn has an unnatural compulsion to be of few words, and can come off seeming cold and distant because of it. In truth he is very spiritual, and doesn't mind shielding others in his strength when the time calls for it. Loyal and protective, a real strong and silent type. (Based very loosely on Mr. Echo/Lost)

-----------------------------------------------------

Name : Danganyo
Piccin :
User Image
Rank : Scivvey
History / personality : Danganyo is a leach of a creature, using everyone else to make his way in life easier. He's plenty capable of caring for himself, but takes an almost perverse pleasure in manipulating others to do things for him. He lies and tricks as easily as he breathes, and yet is usually pleasant enough to be around. His loyalty easily wavers, but it isn't unheard of him to do things for the benefit and pleasure of others. He craves attention and company no matter the species. (Based very very loosely on Capt Jack Sparrow XD )

I don't have any more open to this plot. Tahupotiki is busy with his own crazyness, and Zo Jah'Meka is going to the ocean with her to-be-mate, so she is busy too...


OOH! Maybe when 'Sani and Kina have babies, one of them can be 'pillaged' by the pirates and join the life! -clapshappily-
