Story Contest for Tama and Tomo - Neon Fly & Tanakako
Usernames: Neon Fly & Tanakako
Who gets which?: Tama (girl) - Neon Fly. Tomo (boy) - Tanakako
Backstory: These two twins are as close as any physically separate siblings can be. With Tama being trained as a princess and all the social restrictions that goes along with such a lofty title, her twin brother was her designated protector. Trained from birth to be a warrior he is both her playmate and her bodyguard. Tama is very precious, both as a female (for the pride is highly matriarchal) and as one of the ruling pair's oldest daughters. Generally reserved and proper, obeying the standards set for society as she grew up. Her parents always scolded her whenever she acted out of character for her station in life and being so confined it was hard really to find anywhere or any time when she could just be who she really wanted to be, but she still always dreamed of being free to do as she pleased. Tomo on the other hand, has been taught that his life exists to protect his sister. He belongs to her and his life is hers also. His single task is to protect and serve her, which he does with great pride. A completely selfless leopard he has never considered rebelling against this strict regime, for he loves his sister dearly and has a deep sense of honor and pride in his role as her protector. As a warrior he is a formidable opponent, but on the rare occasion that they are alone together, he is a soft-spoken young male with a gentle smile and kind words. More of a pacifist than a brawler, he only fights to defend those less able to protect themselves, though his sister is always his top priority. Tama is most certainly the leader in their little duo though both are intelligent individuals.

Tama had been betrothed to a neighboring pride's King, a large leopard he was cruel and hard on his subjects. He also had several 'wives' already, daughters of his neighbors looking to make an alliance with the warlike leopards. The betrothal wasn't a surprise but when the siblings found out who was to be her husband, Tomo instantly realised just what would happen. Not only would Tama be part of a harem to a nasty-tempered warrior-king, but Tomo would be left behind with no position in his own pride and no hope of ever seeing his sister again. Desperate, Tama came up with a plan of escape, in which both of them would finally be free.

Having always wanted to live wild and unrestrained by the constricting rules of proper conduct in their society, Tama was determined to escape and of course her closest friend and Guardian would not even hear of her going alone. So one night the pair of them escape into the darkness, turning their backs on a pride more obsessed with rank and wealth than family, and vanish into the wild lands of the open plains.

Tanakako

Never Give Up! Never Surrender!
Username: Tanakako
SoA Name & Meaning (if applicable): Kadar'kasim (swahili: power and strength)
Possible Age? If he were human, he'd be around 50-55. Late-middle age.
What was his rank before he was chose by Surya'nontle to be King?: Apothecary
Personality: Gruff and generally short of temper, the old vizier seems to be permanently irritated at the world at large. A scowl remains etched into his features and they say a cure will be found before the old man smiles. In truth it is guilt and remorse that darkens his soul and the knowledge that he could never undo what has been done, never find redemption for his failures.

"You hurt the ones you love most of all" is a saying that certainly holds true for Kadar. He loved his mate Surya deeply but she sacrificed herself because he failed her. He loves his daughter but never shows it, terrified of repeating his mistake he is perhaps harder on her than he needs to be. But if she ever needs him he is there for her, a silent ear to listen be it tears or rants of fury. A shoulder to rail against or lean on. He will take the blame silently, he will take her hate if that what is needed to keep her safe.

Unafraid to make the hard decisions, he will step forwards and force an issue if he believes it necessary or required. He willingly plays the 'bad guy' to make sure the pride never again suffers as it did under his rule.

What's his history?: His early years were much like any young male in the pride, he spent time with his sick family, mourned those that died, family, friends and pride alike. He aspired to be a warrior, loving the tales of heroic deeds spun by the bards. His cubhood went smoothly, or as smooth as it can in such a pride, he lost the young lass who he had crushed on for over a year, she died of a complication despite only being in the early stages of the disease. Before the year was out, he started to show signs of the sickness and soon took ill, though remained in the first stage. However with his bouts of fevers and general susceptibility and weakness, his dream of becoming a warrior was dust. Despondent and disillusioned he spent much of his time simply watching the pride while keeping himself apart from it. During one of his more severe attacks a young leopard befriended him, she wanted to be a healer and bothered him to let her practice on him. Relenting more to keep her quiet that any thoughts of being cured, he allowed her to experiment on him. The pair grew into adults together and under her care, his sickness seemed to stabilize. While he felt no draw into becoming a healer himself, he did slowly start to help her out, gathering her herbs and other items like berries for her potions. Gradually, as they lived and laughed together, he slowly began to develop feelings for her though he never voiced them. More by accident than any desire for the job, Kadar became an accomplished apothecary, learning by repetition what was required and where to find it he was naturally gifted with an incredible memory and once a plant was known to him, he could never forget it or where he had found it. The two of them became a well oiled machine in caring for the sick, almost seeming as if they could read each other's mind at times. But then tragedy struck, the leopardess fell in love with a new leopard who had come in with a small band of rogues seeking shelter. Kadar had never told his friend of his feelings and within a month, he lost her. She and the rogue male mated and swiftly bore a litter of cubs, leaving Kadar heart broken. Without a word to the leopardess Kadar turned around and left the combined den they had developed full of their work and never returned, taking up residence on the other side of the pride. It was during this time that he was scouted as the Queen's newest consort, with nothing left to him he agreed and took the position of King. He did not expect to fall in love but as he watched Surya struggle to do as she thought best, he fell totally and completely for her sweetness and gentle nature. She brought out the old him, the cub who had wanted to be a warrior, a protector, a knight. Though heart-scarred by the loss of both his crush and his secret love, Surya wormed her way into his heart and eventually won him over.

The leopardess and her rogue mate were both later killed by the secondary plague that hit the pride. Kadar mourned his oldest friend's loss in private, but soon after he had bigger problems to handle, yet to this day he believes that what happened had been destined. Though he had failed in his role as King, he had been there for Surya and he has never regretted that fact.

Any future goals now that he's 'retired'? To watch over his daughters and the pride. Aside from these two things, little else matters to him. He does not care to be 'friends' with anyone, nor to take on a job that would distract from his duties to his mate's last wish. He feels that he is tainted by the past, one of the last living authorities from that time of disaster and strife, and keeps himself septate from the pride as a whole. He wants them to blame him for all that happened and hopes that with his death the last of the taint will be wiped away.
What sort of relationship did he have with Surya'nontle?: While there was no emotion involved when he was chosen to be her King, he fell totally and deeply in love with her. Over the short time they had together he admired her sweet nature and pure soul. Though as with any relationship they had their issues, he would have moved the heavens and the earth for her. But only realised too late that his reluctance to upset her (by disagreeing or arguing with her) would lead to such devastating results.
What sort of relationship does he have with Nawiri'chiwa? He is more like a grumpy uncle than a father figure. He watches over her with a stern eye and gruff voice. But in truth he cared deeply for her and worries constantly about her in the demanding role of Queen.
Does he have any sort of relationship with Eva'raja? She is family, for all they are not actually blood relations. He disapproves of her choice in mate, Sliabh is a fine male but seems rather slow and dull-witted, not ideal as a supportive figure in her life. And now that he has swanned off someplace and left her all alone, well... no father wants his daughter to be taken advantage of! Still, Kadar is a distant presence in Eva's daily life and prefers to watch over her from the shadows, just as he does his Nawiri.

Prompt Letter & Response: "They call it 'surviver's guilt'."

The guilt still haunted him, a deep, ancient pain that beat like a second heart beside his own. It was a stain on his soul that could never be washed away, visible for all to see, to know what he did and what he didn't do.

He didn't stop the Hunt.

When the old vizier had started whispering beguiling words in his sweet Queen's ear he should have stepped in. In hind sight, it was all so obvious... what else had he expected to happen? The old coot had been sly and snakish, pretending to hold all the answers in his paw when really the vizier had only seen the power that he could wield through the Queen. His darling Surya'nontle, so kind and gentle, she had needed him then and he.. he had abandoned her. Unwilling to question the oh-so wise vizier, unwilling to see the hope wiped from his mate's face and replaced by such desperation that it had slain his heart every time he saw it reflected in her eyes. When he should have been strong, he had cowed, when he should have had faith in himself, he had questioned. It had taken Surya'nontle's sacrifice for him to finally see the extent of his own cowardice. He had learned hate on the day she died.. hate for the vizier, for the pride and for the gods, but most of all, hate for himself.

The vizier's ambition had brought on the failed Hunt, Surya'nontle's kindness that had allowed it to escalate, but it had been He, Kadar, who had stood back, who had seen what was to happen, but had done Nothing! Surya was no more to blame for the bad times as the innocents who died each day, she had possessed a beautiful, pure soul. The old Vizier hadn't been to blame, he only did what his nature demanded, his pride and ambition such that he could do nothing else. But Kadar, he had watched, had listened, had seen, and then had stood by and let it happen as his orders had been carried out and disaster followed.

Yes, the guilt was alive and well within his breast, a daily pain alongside the suffering the disease offered. The sickness was his punishment for failing to act, for failing his queen and his pride. He accepted it gladly and could only wait in hope for the day he would be allowed to join his beloved Surya. But until then he had a pride to watch over and a young queen to guide. He refused to let himself make the same mistake with his daughter as he did with his mate. Nawiri would not relive her mother's fate, of that he would make certain. It was the oath he had made on the eve of Surya's death, a few stolen moments between the two before she had gone to be slain.

So yes he held guilt, and he held regret. But most importantly, he held his mate's spirit close. He would watch over her legacy until she came for him, only then would he rest and know his work was done.

.:. Blind girl Entry! .:.

Girl's name: Anapenda Maisha

Name meaning: 'Loves life' in swahili

Personality: Upbeat and daring this lioness knows what her limits and are frequently pushes them. Most creatures pity her at first glance, when they realise that she is completely blind, but Mai soon proves them wrong with her brash and sometimes dangerous active manners. Of course, she is blind and there are a lot of things she can't do, but she has learned how to live with her disability and uses the environment to her strengths. She sticks to a fairly small territory that she knows intimately, from every shrub, rabbit hole, fallen log and bird's nest. She is also mainly a scavenger, but will and can hunt smaller prey herself, and only does this at night when her lack of sight is balanced by the lack of light for her prey, her dark coat helping to make them blind to her. She has trained her ears and her sense of smell to a fine skill and often shows an uncanny awareness of her surroundings. She also has help, a small black bird that helps to guide her when she is travailing out of the area she knows.

How did she become blind?: A very mundane, but depressing manner. As a young female just learning to hunt, she as wounded out on lessons though not badly and was soon up and hunting again. Yet an infection found its way into her wounds around her eyes and within months, she was completely blind. It took her to the depths of despair, and in desperation, she fled her family. Yet her family refused to let her go and though they could not leave their own area, they sent her brother after her. For several years the pair wandered, she in constant grief, he the solid, constant companion. Over time she grew to adapt to her disability, but it wasn't until after her brother's death at the hands of another rogue male, that she realised she had been the walking dead. In honour of her brother's memory, she vowed to never again let the fates dictate to her and took it upon herself to live life with the same virility and lust for life that her brother had possessed. She takes a new name, Anapenda Maisha, and carves out a new life for herself.

What happens now?: Having settled down in a distant patch of savanah, she doesn't get many visitors, a tough, independent lady, I'd love to see her run into a male who falls for her. He would have his work cut out, as she is pretty blind (pardon the pun) to the direction male interest can take and misses a lot of cues like being gazed at, obviously because of her impairment. It would take work for a male to win her, but it would be utterly adorable. I doubt she would join a pride unless he came from one, she doesn't like any space too large or too populated as it wears on her senses, constantly having to avoid bumping into others and trying to 'listen' to her environment when there is a lot of noisy chatter from others.
Of course I'll get her, her familiar friend to be her guide.

Natural Lioness

Entry:
(Writing as if a plot thread looking for players for the two males. Old lion is her father, and the dark lion as her to-be mate.)

Name: Aesha
Meaning: 'Life' in swahili
Species: Lioness
Gender: Female
Stage: Adult
Mate: None
Offspring: n/a
Pride: Prindeland (If she gets accepted)
Rank: Huntress
Fertile: Yes

.:About her:.
Aesha is the youngest daughter of her father (old lion), her family is huge, and part of the Pridelands. A plucky, playful lioness Aesha loves to live life to the full. She doesn't believe in being careful all the time, but instead wants to experience the world and everything it has to offer. Of course she is devoted to her family, but she also feels stifled by them, and mostly, by the expectations of her father. All his older kids have grown into productive and responsible members of the pride, and he fully expects her to follow in his footsteps. He was a powerful and influential member of the pride in his day, a great hunter and skilled tracker. Age has slowed him down but has certainly not affected his drive or his mental abilities. He wanted his daughter to take over the Head Huntress position, and eventually, to become part of the council. Yet she has other ideas. She's perfectly happy as a huntress, she is good at it and she gets to explore all kinds of new places. She would consider a scout position, but she is far too bubbly and energetic to have the patience required to be a scout. So she gave up on that idea.


.:The love interest:.
While out on a hunt one day, she runs across a hansom, dark coated male. Its instant attraction, for he is nothing like the males of her own pride. Tall, muscular, with that stunning dark coat and pale creamy mane. She can't take her eyes from him. He looks nothing like the lions her father had picked out for her to choose from, and for that, she fell in love with him for the first time. During the course of the day, they ended up hunting the same herd of zebra and wildebeest... constantly fouling each other's runs and spooking the herd. Eventually, dripping with sweat and with nothing to show for an entire day's worth of work, she chased him down and laid into him with fang and claw. He gave no quarter, nor held back due to her being a female and in the end, both of them ended up bloody and bruised, yet with no clear victor. He had strength, but she had agility.

It was a stalemate.

Panting, tired and sore, the pair eyed each other form yards apart. Yet suddenly, she burst into laughter, a warm, light sound that rung like bells. Not laughter at him, but at them both and how stupid they must have looked to anyone else. Stunned at first the male finally heaved a heavy sigh and gave her a quirky smile.

"Well miss... since it seems we are stuck at an impasse... how about accompanying me to the river for a drink.. "

Still giggling she tossed her head and sauntered over to him, pacing past with a sensual glide and flicking her tail under his chin. "Hmm.. I certainly can't refuse such a gallant offer, now can I? Lead the way Casanova."

Together, the pair of them went to the river where they drank and bathed and finally, talked. They stayed there, lost in each other, until the darkness brought a chill to the air. Knowing she was a long way from home, she stood, intending to leave, but he reached out, placing his paw over hers and asked her to stay, offering his own den to shelter in that night.

She had lost her heart for the second time that day, during their long and in-depth conversation and she agreed. A new spring in her step and joy in her heart. For she was head over heals in love and he he seemed to be the same. Together they travailed to his single den just as a thunderstorm ripped open the sky. The rain and water and crashes of thunder a mirror to the wildness of young emotion.


.:Future Plot:.
Aesha of course, brings the rogue male home, planning on taking him as her mate. Her father objects strongly to this and is hell bent on her marrying one of the chosen pride-born lions. The dark male will have to prove himself to her father, with Aesha's help, and also win over most of the other pride members. He will also have to support her as she rises up against her father's smothering expectations, and help her grow into the lioness she will one day become. Giving her support and comfort and strength, without smothering her as her father has. Eventually, she and her father will reconcile and the dark male will be welcomed into the family, just in time for Aesha to have her first litter with him.

Swampie

Cub name: Safi
Meaning: "pure" - Swahili

More a fun little curiosity bit, who's your favorite DC or Marvel hero or villain?: Ohh.. umm.. it would have to be Wolverine, always did love the lone wolf anti-hero types. (Not only cos the film. Mmmmm nakkie Jackman. <3)

Personality: Being brought up by two such wonderful parents, both kind of heart and pure of spirit, Safi herself is a gentle and caring young thing. She loves her family greatly, and as she grows older, offers that love to all those around her. No matter what they have done in the past, she wishes to see only the best in them, and puts her faith in every one she meets. While she is gentle and kind, she is not weak-hearted and will stand up to another if they try and abuse someone weaker than they. Of course, since she is a female, this can and frequently does get her into trouble, but it would be impossible for her to look away just to save her own skin so her siblings are often called on to save her behind, or nurse any wounds she acquires. As a cub, she is a total tomboy, but as she matures she calms down, partly due to her slightly unstable health. When she was young she had fallen into the water and caught a mild case of pneumonia. She eventually recovered, but it left her with weak lungs and thus she can not always keep up with the more energetic members of the family. This also restricts her singing, and as a youth she never really joined in when the family sang together, though she loved to listen to them when ever possible. Yet when she is on her own, often very early morning, or late at night watching the sunset, she will sing softly to herself, the barest whisper, revealing that while her voice will never be strong, it is ethereal in its beauty. However, it would take a special someone to entice it from her in company.

Note: Safi would certainly come back from her Name Quest and most likely stay with her family in the swamp lands. Any mate would preferably join her there, but of course, it would have to be agreed by the future mate's owner.

Prompt #: Kind of prompt 1. <3
Response: Coughing, she shivered violently, tail curling weakly against her side as she panted, sweat matting her pale fur. Opening her amber eyes, vision watery from her constant coughing, she tried to smile up at her mother who looked so very worried. Letting her eyes close again she collapsed back against the ground, stretched flat out on her side as she struggled for breath. This was not how she had wanted things to end... not by making everyone worry... her fever-ravaged thoughts drifted back to the morning only three days ago.

It had been bright and clear with a crisp but refreshing snap in the air. Their father had declared that they would all go swimming that morning for the first time. though of course many of the cubs had played in and around the water since they had been old enough to leave their mother's side, yet to actually be taught to swim! It was looking to be an exciting morning. Little had any of them known what would happen, certainly not Safi herself, who had been so eager to experience the water her father enjoyed so often. The lesson had started off well, with all the cubs in and enjoying the sharp cold of the liquid soaking into their fur, yet it had not been long until disaster struck... Safi had pounced her brother Ashur, only to miss and land in far deeper water than expected. A few panicked seconds of struggling, desperately trying to reach the surface with her inadequately stubby legs thrashing uselessly in the cold darkness.. freezing, agonizing chill penetrating her chest as she tried to breath, to call out.. then suddenly the tight grip on her ruff as she was lifted bodily out of the water by her father. Gasping and coughing she had lain on the bank, drained of all strength and soaking wet, her family gathered close about her. She had recovered, eventually.. and watched everyone else continue their lesson though knew her parents kept casting worried looks her way. Determined to show them she was fine she had played all day with her siblings, chasing them into the water yet never going in herself. All had seemed to be well again, but that night, as she lay awake among her sister and brothers trying to catch her breath, the fevers started. By morning she was bathed in sweat and barely able to breathe.

That had been three days ago... and the fevers still wracked her body, but the burning in her lungs was a little easier now, and her coughs not quite as bone-shaking. She was still short of breath and had barely ingested anything but a little water her mother had carefully fed her, but at last she felt like the sickness was fading. Opening pained, watery eyes she looked up, sensing someone standing over her. The shimmering white body of her elder sister wavered before her, the outline indistinct but she knew who it was.

Thank you Zeru...

Taking a rattling, but thankfully deep breath, the worn white cub finally drifted off into a healing sleep. Knowing her sister would stay close, and grateful to her for taking their mother's place so Xochiyotl herself could finally rest. The feelings of guilt, knowing that she had caused so much worry, would stay with the young female for a long while to come.

Quote:

Why is my belly getting fat?!

Your Gaianame: ArashiX
Your Partners: Neon Fly and Tanakako
Love Triangle Blurb:

Once upon a time... Two lovers, incapable of having cubs of their own, decided they would have cubs...one way or another. To love, raise, and protect as their own. The elder of the two, a lithe cheetah, devised they would both need to con a female, at the same time. Woo her into thinking they loved her...and when she birthed the cubs and they were old enough...whisk them off without a trace, without a word.

So it would turn out that finding a gullible female wasn't too hard to find...nor was wooing the poor girl, who lacked self-confidence. She fell pregnant, though it wasn't certain as to whom the cubs belonged two. The two males were overjoyed, but continued to ply her, to keep her near to them...

The unexpected, unwanted has an uncanny sense...and the things you think you don't want have an extraordinarily ability to happen, and change your mind...

Male Cheetah
[Callan, "Flowing Water"; Arashi]
Callan is, on the outside, a gruff, grumpy individual. He likes to pretend, and even act, on his sometimes devious thoughts...yet at heart, he is very much a teddy bear. While he doesn't like it most of the times, especially when consumed by guilt, he would never set out to truly hurt or scar another individual.

Having been with Tamu since they were small cubs, he's fiercely protective over him. They've been lovers for quite some time now...and it was Callan that came up with the idea that they should con a female - court her both at the same time - to give them cubs they would whisk away afterwards. The only trouble with this was he didn't expect to get more than he bargained for...


Male Leopard
[Tamu Ameuweka, "Gentle of Temper"; Kaisanti]
A regular 'Bleeding Heart' type, he loves to see others happy and will do anything he can to help them. From aiding a baby bird back into its nest to helping a crocodile with a sore tooth... Tamu Ameuweka will also go above and beyond for a friend to the extent where he completely ignores his own personal wants and needs in an effort to see those close to him happy. Tamu is often called simple, or dumb, where as in fact he isn't. He would just rather have those aorund him content, rather than trample over them for his own gain.

The ultimate pasicfist, this young loepard is rather in need of looking after, and relies heavily on his best friend, childhood crush and current lover, Callan. As he grows he will learn how to temper his natural openess and trust towards strangers, though he will always be a sweet and loving guy. He will eventually figure out when and where to share that trust. He will always be close to Callan, for the pair have been together since cubhood, but as he matures he becomes less dependant on the cheetah and learns to find his own way in the world.


Female Cheetah
[Tallutah, no meaning; Neon Fly]
Always a self conscious creature by nature, Tallutah has always acted in a manner that never did inspire much confidence in her from others. Her fumbling, awkward ways and slinking posture the sort of impression that often caused her to be overlooked by potential mates in favor of more self confident females. An innocent victim in a plan conspired to squeeze cubs out of Tallu in their own interest initially, this girl perhaps doesn't possess the common sense to realize when she's being conned. Perhaps she was only too overjoyed and caught off guard when not one but two suitors appear to whisk her right off her paws to realize that they might have had ulterior motives. Tallutah however will find that spending time with the pair eventually aids her to discover her own self worth and purpose as she struggles to keep them together.


What is to come:

At the time the males take the cubs and ditch the female, Callan has developed significant feelings for her, and instead secrets her and the cubs away. While he did love his Tamu, the female cheetah is his "one", and he finds himself wanting to move the savanah itself for her.

Unfortunately for his lover, he's been dumped...he just doesn't know it yet.

Callan, as he moves his newly found true love to safety, begins to be consumed by guilt. As he confides in Tallu, she urges him to go back, to not abandon Tamu. Even though he had everything he wants with Tallu, he still does love Tamu; seeing the sense in the female's words, he agrees. Leaving Tallu and the cubs in a safe place, he rushes back to the spot the leopard was waiting for him and apologizes...explaining why he couldn't go through with their plan. Still ashamed, but wanting to make ammends, Callan ushers Tamu along with them, to keep both close to his heart.

Callan and Tallu become mates, regardless as to who father's the litter of cubs, and Callan swears to Tamu that he will help his best friend, love, and partner find a true mate of his own. The cubs have a small, but tight-knit family, with two fathers that share in raising them.

They got what they wanted, just not in the way they planned~

Name of SoA: Kim'a - cub name | Tembo'kama - adult name
Meaning: Silent (cub) | elephant-like (adult)
Gender: Male
Appearance: Mother's white base with a gradient 'blue - pale blue - turquoise' paint pattern over his body from his grandfather (muzzle, toes and belly remain white) feet and lower part of legs are coloured to show the white toes. Exact placement of the rest of the splotchy markings are CC. Off-black mane and tail like mom and mom's swirly shoulder marking and tail rings. Plus three dots under his eye. Red eyes.
Visual reference: Ref. Really messy ref only for colours.
Personality: As his adult name suggests he is a large male with a distinct lack of decent social skills. He dislikes unnecessary chatter, often preferring to be around those that are less vocal. He adores his mother and would do anything for her, to the point where some call him a mama's boy, though he really isn't, he just makes sure she wants for very little or at least he tries to. He gets on well with the rest of his family and takes little notice of the small irregularities they exhibit from time to time. He will become an Usher like his mother once he grows, preferring the relative quiet of the dead and dying to the overly loud and energetic healthy members. His muse will be rocks as they are sturdy and fairly quiet.. they don't talk to him too much.
Any additional requirements that the family has: Wont leave the pride, will be rped. I only have one lion in the KZ right now but she is active.

Applying for: Hanikiza x Yggdrasil
Name of SoA: Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad
Meaning: 'eagle' & 'son of none' in arabic
Gender: Male
Appearance: Pure white base like dad with the zig-zaggy/glyphic paw markings from dad/vengeance in mom's black on his paws/lower legs (but no fade). He has a mix of his parent's hair colour, #4f3e34 (a dark brown) for his mane and tail. Uncle's golden eyes. He has a scar-mark on the left side of his muzzle ('his' right side), crossing his lips, in a pale skin-tone colour. - see ref detail
Visual reference: image ref
Personality: A fairly silent cub he is altogether far more serious than most his age. Completely dedicated to his training as a future Ushujaa he becomes so focused that he looses sight of the fun to be had in life. As he grows he takes great pride in his skills as a warrior and fighter. He favors stealth and skill over simple brawn and when he is not training, he is working on new methods of tracking and defense tactics. Something of a daredevil he is not afraid of anything or anyone, always willing to test himself against new challenges. His seer power will only show him a few seconds into the future, but he will utilize this during combat and tracking maneuvers.
Any additional requirements that the family has: Will be a Ushujaa like his mother. Relatively simplistic design.

Thank you so much for this opportunity, I've been hoping for the chance to get him. <3

Username: Tanakako
Character Name: Baqir sim Amir ('to rip open' | 'commander'. / Arabic)
Character Gender: Male (new rogue alt lines)
Character Rank: Muharip (either pride)
Character Background/Personality: A hard, cold-tempered lion he is a force to be reckoned with. A veteran of many battles, his body bares evidence of a life lived hard. Always stern and completely devoted to his pride he will fight when ever and where ever he is needed. Spending most of his time moving around the pride's territory he will attack any member of the rival pride without hesitation or warning and will even take on a small band of the opposing pride with the same grim fierceness. Never having known anything other than a warrior's existence there is no humor in him and he fully expects to die at the claws of his enemy.

His father, Amir sim Jabbar, was a very skilled and respected Muharip in the pride who died in the last great battle for the Baj-jer. His father and his mother were both of the typical colour, a mix of browns from dark to sandy. Baqir's own siblings were also of the same tones, suited to their hot desert home and bringing pride to their parents. Only Baqir was different, a throwback to several generations gone, a rare black cub who was instantly less-favored by his parents and teased by his siblings both younger and older. Not surprisingly this instilled in Baqir a simmering resentment of those that judged him and from a very young age he showed a sharp and heated temper to match his coat colour. Swiftly he had more rivals than friends but it never seemed to bother him and as he grew nothing happened to change his views, becoming a silent and brooding lion who possessed a fearsome reputation for violence in battle. Always a loner he has never been caught smiling, but in the middle of a bloodbath is where he almost feels a sense of peace and fulfillment.
Appearance: (horse-type) New alt rogue template. Black base with a white 'stripe' marking on his forehead/nose and one white 'sock' on one of his front feet. His body/legs etc are covered in all kinds of scars. The visable eye has a scar cutting across it and is milky as if partially blind. (His other unseen one is normal.)

Username: Tanakako
Character Name: 'Izzah bint Rukan (Might, power / Steady, confident) - arabic
Character Gender: Female (new alt rogue lines)
Character Rank: Muharip (either pride)
Character Background/Personality: As with the rest of the pride, this female is tough both inside and out, with a lifetime's experience in warfare. No longer a young female but not yet old, she is at the height of her skill and prowess. Yet this hard life has changed her, left its mark on more than just her fur. The constant fighting has left her wary of strangers, her attitude gruff and no-nonsense both on and off the battle field. She pushes herself hard and expects the same from everyone else in the pride, it is not favoritism, just simply their way of life. She is looking for a mate not for the romance of love, but for the long term companionship. She knows she will not always be as fit and as able as she is and fully expects her injuries to eventually catch up with her. When that happens, she hopes to have a male with which to share her retirement, someone she can trust and who has had the same kind of life she has... someone who would understand her. She also wants to raise a family, the next generation of warriors. But for the time being, she is too busy fighting to find the male who will be her match.
Appearance: Do you have any ideas for what they might look like, specific or vague? Natural colours (horse/dog types), poss buckskin/grullo or bay-type, maybe with white markings or 'feral' patterning or other solid markings. Would love scars on her too.
I love the colour fade on these: x, x, x, x
like these two designs: x & x
and these samples: x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x

KA contest

Name and meaning (optional): Hekabe - Greek mythology name of the mother of Kassandra and Polydoros
Desired rank as adult: Healer
Infection status Diseased: The sickness strikes her as a juve but it remains in the first stage and is easy to deal with. She passes through Adol into adult with no deterioration. But before she hits middle age she goes downhill fast and will die.
Short personality blurb: A lively and inquisitive cub she most certainly makes up for her twin-brothers lack of energy. She makes fun of Shulinav endlessly for acting weak when he is fully healthy, but is fairly protective of her sick siblings. Even when she is stuck down with it herself she remains optimistic but is very realistic and doesn't expect to grow old. Her main goal in life is to live is a full one and leave behind a lot of happy memories for her friends and family. As she is infertile she is less interested in finding love as in being the best friend she can be to others. Once she is your friend, she will defend you utterly, and will do almost anything for you. She decides at a young age, soon after getting sick, to apprentice to Eva'raja as a healer, so she can help her friends and family as much as she can, while she can.

A future idea: Once she grows she will be blindsided by love, and fall utterly and helplessly in love with a fellow pride member. Unsure if they will be immune or diseased, but they will be fairly healthy and will become her constant companion. This is true love, the kind that makes the rest of the pride go 'awwwww' when they walk past in obvious blissful happiness. The pair are perfectly suited to each other and everyone thinks their match was gifted by their goddess. Then she gets sick and within the month she is den-ridden and barely clinging to life. She has a day's remission where she and her mate slip away from the pride's main area and go out to a secluded spot to watch the sunset together... there she finally passes away in her mate's paws.
Prompt number and response: Flopping down on the warm backed earth, the young female sighed heavily, ears pressed flat to her head as she stared out towards the pride's boundary, a place she had never seen but knew was there. Her mother had gone again, on some errand for their Queen, and Papa hadn't been to visit for a little while. It left her feeling lonely and a little depressed as she missed her mom when the lioness went away on these trips. She often worried that the lioness would one day not return, hurt somewhere where no one could help her.. or stolen away by some big bad bogy monster in the night.

Suddenly a noise to her left caught her attention and she glanced over, just in time to let out a squeek as another cub, somewhat older than her, launched his brown stripey self at her body. Giggling she squirmed out from under him then instantly latched onto his ear. "Ah 'ot 'ou!" She crowed, voice muffled by the flap between her teeth. The lion cub was one of the youngest sons of another of the pride's Guards, Sliabh. This one was either Lochlan or Utpala, she couldn't yet tell the twins apart and sometimes she swore they would deliberately switch places to confuse her even more. But she just treated them like the same cub and so far she had escaped the worst of their pranks.

The two cubs tumbled for a time, playfully boxing each other until Loch-la (as she had ended up calling the pair of them to save confusion on her part) cried 'Parley' and went limp under her. Giggling she stood and let go of his tail as he grinned up at her, both of them rather out of breath. Loch-la scrambled to his feet and shook the dust from his fur before turning to her expectantly, which made her blink a little nervously. Was this another trick of the twins? But no.. he only asked if she wanted to go see his father who was due to return from patrol for the midday meal. Grinning she agreed and together the pair of them raced for the main cubby play area, which was where Sliabh always came to check on his plethora of cubs. Hekabe liked the large, silent guard. He had the same job her mom did and he always returned to the pride, so she knew her mom always would.

Eagerly she raced Lock-La down to the play area and started to tussle with the other cubs there, her worries done for the day.
