This pride concept is based upon Old England/Tudors/Anne Boleyn etc. It's really fun stuff and most of the information is covered. If anything else is added or changed I'll throw it up here. <3BG For Cert Made by Polette <33Mock Cert!!U p d a t e s
June 13 2o1o: WE ARE OFFICIAL. Demo and I are going to start setting up our forum if anyone has input or wants to help just im me, any help is awesome! <3
February 03 2o1o: Please pm me if you wish to keep your custom slot, if i dont hear from you in seven days. It will be deleted thanks.
December 16th 2oo9: Polette made some wonderful mock certs for us!!
December 14th 2oo9: Phoneix made these new lovely banners!
December 13th 2oo9: We have enough lions, but not Njanon...their was interest in the mini plot to help Eztil take over so I added a form for those special guys because they technically wont be in the pride once Njanon comes. Temporary members...unless you decide to join later. Idk. xD
December 5th 2oo9: I have decided...that Eztil would not be able to over throw a kingdom all by himself...nonono. He needs someone to help him therefore...ANY ROGUES WHO WANT A MINI PLOT check this. You would also only be in the pride temporarily unless you want to stay of course. These lions would big, brutes, who don't take anyones crap. They have to follow Eztil's order of course. They keep the pride in line for now. Then when Njanon'dege comes then they might be able to stay depending on the situation. Some of these lions can either be tricked into helping Eztil or enjoy being meany guards. x3 If no one likes this little idea let me know it can be changed or removed just thought of it.
December 4th 2oo9: I'm wondering how everyone would feel about doing an rp in two weeks? I'm assuming thats when most everyone's final gets done. And rp responses I'm sure will be slow 'cause were dead. But any feed back would be nice. <3
December 3rd 2oo9:
*If anyone wants to design a bg for the cert when we are official, that would be sweet seeing as I don't have PS. You will be compensated for your efforts.
*I'm waiting to hear back from Demo. to see if Eztil can still be involved in the plot if he cant I shall seek out another who would be willing/devious enough to over throw a kingdom and be overthrown. >3
December 2nd 2oo9: New thread because the last was full of fail [on my part]

 Kiingereza'nchi was said to have begun with a great Mfalme whom never did anything of passion rather with a justice heart. The lands were good and peace was eminent. However, it did not last long when a Goddess so happened to notice this pride and found it to be quite boring. She tempted the great Mfalme to follow after another instead of Malkia he fell in love with a Koufujin. Her intentions were more bitter than the rest. She had wanted to outrank her sister for the longest time, so now that she had the Mfalme’s affections she figured she would go a bit farther. And she did…
The Malkia was overthrown, bitter she turned away from her thrown with the nobility that was instilled upon her by her parents. The Koufuijin became Malkia and the courts turned to disaster, disorder and corruption. She was soon killed by other pride members of the guard. Soon things became some what ordered but it was never the same and the new order became. Since then rulers have come and gone, some unjust and others just. But the story of the Mfalme who fell was instilled in the hearts of all to make sure none of the other pride members were tempted thus far.
This is where we come to young Njanon'dege and his brother Nili'usiku. They are both young and offspring of the dead Mfalme. They have been sworn off by the new Mfalme. Never to return. Anyone who opposed this Mfalme were killed, others kept their tongues to themselves to simply survive. Will the eldest, Njanon'dege come to retake his throne? Or will he sneak by as an adolescent and take all the Mfalme’s secrets and backstab him as he had. Time will tell, only hopefully it won’t be too late.

P r i d e * C o l o r s
Colors that dominate the nobles of the pride are white, gold, blue and black. Other colors consist of browns. The face of the lions should pale rather than dark colors. Coloring can put lions in higher ranks. The ones with white, gold and black are favored. Other colorings are allowed and no colors are looked down upon.
The Kidini'hakimu and his/her apprentices dominate in reds/whites/golds.
=
1. White/Gold/Black: Royalty
2. Red/White/Gold: Religious/2nd High Rank
3. Brown/tan/natural colors
4. All else.
G o v e r n m e n t
The government is lead by the House of Lords and the House of Commons. When issues come about such as treason the leaders meet and a judgment is made about the said prisoner. When these times come the King, the Kidini'hakimu, some of the chosen Akindini’msaada or the training Akindini’msaada are allowed, Grand Dukes, Princes and Marquess are present as well as the elected officials of the commoners. The only time ladies need to be present is if they are witnesses or to be judged.
R e l i g i o n
The pride believes in only the one true Goddess and that is Mkodi. They believe that only she is worthy to be worshiped. The rest of the gods and goddesses should be respected but not worshipped. They are monotheistic and the worship of any other god or goddess will lead to extreme reprimanding.
It is also believed that the Kidini'hakimu is the representative of their God. To cross him or her would be utter devastation and there for the King’s decisions are influenced greatly by whatever the Kidini'hakimu advises. The Kidini'hakimu has Akindini’msaada that directly work with the King. The Kidini'hakimu only resides in the sacred dens where only the Kidini'hakimu and his/her underlings are allowed in those designated dens. If someone were to cross in they would be killed on sight and the ground would have to be purified through tedious rituals. Even then it is said to be still tainted with some of the disease of the impure soul.
R o g u e s
Rogues are welcome within the pride but are hardly allowed to see royalty after they are welcomed for however long the King and Queen prescribe. If treason or some other injustice occurs they may be killed or chased out.
M a r r i a g e
"Women in her greatest perfection was made to serve and obey man." ~ John Knox
Marriage or mating is an almost must in the ranks of the pride. The amount of wealth one achieves is having a mate by his side and bountiful children. However royalty and nobility ranks differ from that for the commoners. The bride to be’s father chooses her mate. This is tactful because it is often chosen to raise the family’s standard within the courts. Marriage is used to get a leg up on life and sometimes not necessarily for love. Many of the upper class males search for there needs in other places, including the King. Children resulting in this manner are mbuyu’pungua, or fatherless. It is required that the male somehow provide the female and her children are provided for but he usually isn’t in the picture.
If the King impregnates a female in the courts and it is a boy more often than not, he will raise him to be a Duke himself with no contact with his mother after weaning. Though the action is looked down upon by the religious leaders, it cannot be stopped. Sometimes if no male heir has come about it is encouraged for him to look out to find a female that can produce a male heir. In which case some of the males flaunt their daughter’s in the courts to get another leg up in the court.
For the common ranks most choose their own mate with the blessings of the prides on both sides. This can often lead to them staying in their common ranks rather than be in the court. However if the Queen or Kidini'hakimu see potential in the cubs they can take them in and raise them to be of nobility.
Juvenile breeding isn’t seen as bad as many fathers start looking for potential suitors when their daughters are young. However two juveniles mating without parental consent can lead to punishments.
[R o g u e + B r e e d i n g --> Not betrothed Lions ]
Breeding outside the pride is shamed upon if you are noble blood, for commoners it is over looked as it presents potential for the pride. If a rogue breeding happens to a noble female of the pride she is often left to solitude. Sometimes the cubs will be given to commoners to be adopted, sometimes the noble is denounced and others it is left alone depending on the King and Queen’s liking to the female. For male’s it is much more difficult unless they come home with cubs, in which case the cub will be given to a nurse and its development over looked by the father. The males have much more leniency than the females. Most of the time it depends on the situation.
[M a r r i e d + L i o n s ]
Due to law after a female is married she becomes the male's property in a sort of sense. If she has an over dominant male, who doesn't care for the opinion of a female she will be out of luck. It's not against the law to beat their mates....and not uncommon. It was knowledge that the wife provoked her mate to beat her and if she behaved properly it wouldnt have happened. Therefore she was responsible. It's not illegal for the females to walk away from the marriage, the Malkia is the one who deals with this the most. If approved by her it is dissolved. However it is uncommon for the female to be married to again. The Mfalme can subtly dissolve a marriages for his own purposes...though if he impregnates her while she is married there is nothing that her husband can do. If his brother or someone close he can dissolve the marriage but it all really depends on his mood.
Adultery is not allowed on the women's part...if greed upon by the Mfalme and Malkia she could be sentenced to go to the Dengua.
M a r r i a g e * C e r e m o n i e s
Most families have their own small marriage ceremonies in the pride. One of the religion leaders, the scribe of the pride and royalty will attend to make it formal, documented and official. The parents of the bride and groom work together to decorating the ceremonial grounds, and there is usually a banquet afterwards.
For royalty everyone attends, and there is a huge feast with decorations galore. This usually happens when the blossoms are at their best and the most vibrant. The intended are usually arranged from birth. It is seen as disrespect if someone doesn't show up and can have some nasty consequences. Plus who can resist free food?
B i r t h s
When a female is birthing only her and the nurses may be in the room as well as a favorite marchioness. Afterwards when the cubs are all born the Kidini'hakimu enters to give them blessings. After the ritual the father is allowed to go see his children and the naming process begins. No matter if it is of noble or common rank the King or Queen will be there to announce the new litter to the rest of the pride as well as any ranks that the cubs might’ve inherited or bestowed upon them at that moment
Girls tend to stay with their mothers and learn whatever they have to teach. The main goal for them is to get married. In some families its seen as a liability for the girls to stay as an adult for they are one extra mouth to feed due to the pride not having/eating all together at once.

 [[more to come if needed: if you have an idea that will go well with the theme, feel free to pm me. I might add it. smile ]
Only applies to those with limited rank:
If in red its taken.
If it pink its in consideration.
R o y a l t y / N o b i l i t y
Mfalme [Eztil: Temp. >3] / Malkia: The monarch outranks everyone else. Malkia is the Mfalme's mate and ranks under the Mfalme but is above all else.
Kidini'hakimu:[[in growing]/1] Religious Leader, advises the Mfalme and Malkia. Judge in the House of Lords. Lots of other stuff, I just forgot what else...will add later.
Soudai'hertug/ Soudai'hertuginne:[--/--] Mostly reserved for the siblings of the Mfalme and Malkia as well as adult children of a Mfalme and Malkia. Help advice the Mfalme.
Mikoto / Hidenka: [---/---] Mikotos or Hidenkas are children of the monarch, and therefore royalty, as opposed to nobility, but those holding the title can vary in rank and in the specific tasks in which they hold.
Tajiri'Mtoto/ Tajiri'Mwana:[---/--] Sons/Daughters of monarch's siblings. Same as Mikoto and Hidenka its a royalty title rather than position in court. Tasks within pride vary.
Koushaku / Koufujin: The Koufujin females often tend to the needs of the Malkia and are in her court. Likewise the Koushaku aid the Mfalme with decisions that need to be done and are on his court. Common ranks can earn their way up here. Its usually reserved for the favored lionesses and lions.
Koushaku: [--/2]
Koufujin: [--/5]
Resu'koushou / Resu'kishin : A step below the Koushaku , some are allowed to be on the Mfalme and Malkia's courts but not often. Most of the time they are substitutes when the Koushaku and Koufujinhave unknown ailments that prevent them from doing their duties. Common ranks can get to this position.
Resu'koushou: [--/3]
Resu'kishin: [--/3]
Shuryou'mpigani : [--/1] He/She is in charge of all of the Mpiganaji as they aren’t apart of the courts the Mfalme has no way of looking after everyone. S/he reports the on goings to the Mfalme if any misfortune that may happen. This is also the lead warrior, sort of speak. S/he is in charge of helping plan battle fronts with the Mfalme and is very close to the Mfalme. A.K.A head guard. Must be strong and also tactful.
O t h e r * R a n k s
Mpiganaji / Mpiganajime: [2/--] They do not have a seat at the House of Lords. They’re the knights which is a title of honor rather than aristocracy. However if they also hold a peerage they can be apart of the House of Lords. This title is hereditary and only on the male side. If the father is a Mpiganaji then the sons and daughters are Mpiganaji. They have exclusively different positions however in the pride. Mpiganaji are the warriors of the pride, the bronze of the group. Whereas the Mpiganajime are the huntresses of the pride. They are the skilled of the skilled when it comes to their job. Common ranks can earn their way up. Mostly by tagging along in hunts and gaining the eye of Shuryou'mpigani or the other Mpiganaji.
Kiongozi: [--/??] Elected by the rest of the commoners to go to the House of Commons. Depending on how many commoners will lead to how many kiongozi there are. They are required to hear out any lion that has problems with the pride. They can report it to anyone of higher rank, even the Mfalme himself if they want to take the chance. This could lead to consequences or a higher rank change.
Akindini’msaada: [1/3] Underlings of the Kidini'hakimu. They are like priests and priestesses where s/he is the leader of them all. Respected rank. [Also uncommon as they are hand picked by Kidini'hakimu]
Chekesha: [1/5] The Mfalme loves his entertainment. He likes someone that can make him smile and even make him laugh that’s what the chekesha are for. However if they are ill in their trade the Mfalme would be seriously displeased. He is also a lover of poetry and is a romantic so any words of wisdom could be of help. The Mfalme may call on a Waumba'ushairi to help him with the words of love to another lioness; if it proves to work they can be promoted. They work TOGETHER and need to be a team. --> Could lead to plot if conflicting personalities
The chekesha usually all have their own unique ability...
Anafanya' rekodi: [1/1] S/he creates records of all that go on the pride, births, deaths, traitors, those who leave, experiments, poisoned plants, diseases within the pride of the past, anything that happens they record. S/he must be extremely smart and work with the Kiongozi'odijo and Mwalimu.
Mpelekezi : [1/3] They are the most cunning of the group and no one knows who they are if they’re good. They can report what is going on with other prides or even within the own pride. Treason is the greatest offense; they have the power to make anyone look bad. Their eyes are always watching. The three of them don't know who the others are in the pride.
Tabibu: [--/5] They are the healers/doctors in the pride. They should know about what plants contain poisons, herbs to heal, diseases and what to do about them. They are highly valued in the pride. The Tabibu is usually sorted generation wise. If one's mother is in it, their offspring are said to have the same abilities. It's one of the unique ranks that goes from generation to generation.
Hadithi’hatibu : [1/1] S/he is the story teller of the group. Through experiences or wild imagination they come of with stories that can be told to the pride. They will tell stories to the cubs, other lions and with royalty. Sometimes they narrate or come up with a play for the Chekesha.
Kiongozi'odijo: [-/1] The head of the Mwalimu, they have proved their ability in brains over time. There is only one of them and they oversee most of the going ons in the pride. They also work along side the tabibu. Teaches the Mwalimu what he/she knows and picks one to succeed when they decide to retire.
Mwalimu: [--/5]These are the scholars of the group the smartest ones of the bunch per say. They help teach all cubs of the pride traditions, values and place in life. They also study weather patterns, and assist in helping when the best day for hunts are.
Mwuguzi :[1/---] They take after any cubs that have been abandoned, given to them to adopt, or the Queen’s children. They are highly valued and known for their skill in the life of newborns. Through out any of the female’s within the pride’s pregnancy they will be there at all times to monitor.
Maulisho'Leto: [1/1] Only one in the pride, whomever is in this position is truly sadistic, all fear them. For s/he is the one who carries out sentences when the Dengua cannot. S/he is also in charge of the Dengua. If your not dead after s/he is done with you, you'll wish you were.
Dengua: [--/5] The sadists of the group, they are the tortures or those who 'bring down' other lions who have the misfortune of betrayal, spying, or breaking other laws or just plain pissing off royalty. You answer to the Maulisho'Leto. The Dengua and Maulisho'Leto have their own quarters in these lands just as the Kidini'hakimu and his/her apprentices do.
Umoja'watu: [--/--] Adults of the pride
Kijana: Adols of the pride
Wajunia: Cubs and Juves of the pride
Mbuyu’pungua: Children without a father figure who happens to be of noble or royal rank and are not included in the courts.
Hyakushou: This rank is for anyone who isn’t a lion. They aren’t given any specific jobs but they just roam through out the pride. If there is a feast they usually eat last. They do get to see the royal courts at the masquerades and feasts so they aren’t totally left out. If they earn the eyes of nobles they can become higher rank. Anyone with more lion blood is favored, but hybrids can still make it to high court. They just have to prove they are capable of it. Its not looked upon for lions to mate outside their species, it does happen and the children are left with the mothers.

 I'm Fo'Realz <3
Name: Eztil
Owner: demonstration_evil
Rank Desired: Temp Mfalme
Gender: Male
Age: Adult
Personality: A nasty conman who constantly seeks to improve his lot in life. He's a born leader, and has led several small groups of riff-raff and killers before, though never anything of this scale. More than a little off, Eztil will do whatever it takes to make his life easier, and he cares little -if at all- about what happens to others.
Cert/Uncert: Cert / Uncert
History: See Profile
Anything Else: Eztil is a temporary King, but his impact -and ill will- will last a long time.________________---------------------------------- I'm Fo'Realz <3
Name: Lilavati
Owner: Kaori_luv
Rank Desired: Soudai'hertuginne
Gender: Female
Age: Adult
Personality: She loves adventure and is extremely bold. She has good manners and is very kind, though when adventure is involved her manner are forgotten. They are also quickly forgotten if she is threatened
Cert/Uncert: Cert / Uncert
History: She was born in Simbafutaji and loves the ocean. Not only does she love the ocean she loves the tree and is a natural born climber. It is like second nature to her. Lila will climb any tree.Currently Lila has a fling planned with Nyota of the demon pride (who coincidentally is a prince lol), where some of her cubs will be stolen from her. This is going to devastate her. She will leave her pride at the end of that plot.
Anything Else: With her having a fling when you get Njanon, they could cross paths [through rp of course] perhaps she aides him getting into the pride some how to over throw the present King? Then he grants her and her children the high rank. Technically he could make her Soudai'hertuginne which would mean she is kin to him and therefore she would also be fully protected in the pride rather than being under another. That would also be high court.

Age: (Cub/Juvenile/Adolescent/Adult) Adult
Personality: He's a bit gruff and hard to get close to at first. He's a bit distrusting of others at first and it takes some time for him to get passed it, but once he does, one will have a good, loyal friend for a long time. Once he does come to trust and befriend someone, he is rather protective of them. He's not quick to anger, but he does get annoyed a bit easily. He'll give a warning when he does start getting mad and if it isn't heeded, will act out, usually with violence. Pretty much, Bhekizitha is like some candies, hard on the outside, but kind of soft on the inside.

History: -too long to post-
Anything Else: She was like a sister to Njanon'dege and his brother. She will be having kiddos from the demon pride male, who will strip her of those that can fit into the pride and leave her with the rest. Heart broken and set as a personality failure she will then realize she needs to change and can't do it with cub weight. So she will either drop them off on a male/female in the pride or 'Dege himself and leave. She will be a temporary member.

Name: Lipi
Owner: Cut_Me_Coffee
Rank Desired: Anafanya' rekodi
Gender: Female
Age: Adult
Personality: Lipi is summed up in two words. Two words that shouldn't go together, honestly. Studious and lazy. She loves to learn, but doesn't want to learn thing that will bore her. Only certain topics interest her, and she's not even sure what they are. She'd rather spend her day lazing about, cloud watching than learning how the clouds are made. But when it comes to things like the rain, she's all for it. She loves water, wants to know more about it and why certain waters harbor certain fish.
Cert/Uncert: xXx xXx
History: Nnn.. None yet. Will put it here once it's solid in stone.
Anything Else: Lipi is.... small. Very small. Like.... Adolescent small. |D
 I'm Fo'Realz <3
Name: Safura'miezi
Owner: PhoenixGuardianMikazuki
Rank Desired: Hadithi’hatibu
Gender: Female
Age: (Cub/Juvenile/Adolescent/Adult) Adult
Personality: Kind, "pure", and very loving. She cares deeply for her family and friends. An adventurer of great ability; her only weakness is... For the moment, she is just an overly friendly lioness. She's the one you want to turn to for a listening ear, the one you want to comfort you when you're depressed, the one you want as a true friend. Safura is the worst kind of enemy to have, because she is deeply loyal to her family and friends. She will partake of vengence if something bad happens to those she cares for, and thus, her hidden dark side no one has ever seen... Safura tends to judge things in black and white, and rarely judges things when they are blurred to gray... in this case, you must watch out for her. She still has a lot to learn, but for the most part, she is a loving, caring lioness, a reliable friend, and of course, a loyal family member.
Cert/Uncert: Cert/Uncert
History: Safura'miezi is one of the last survivors of her deceased pride. A rogue pride of Firekin had decided to have fun by going around and killing everyone she loved and knew. Younger sister of Agen'theluji, she saw her other siblings and parents die before her eyes. The traumatic event caused her to fear and hate the Firekin, and she avoids them as if they are a plague. As a cub, she was adopted into a group of cheetahs who had adopted each other, and she grew up as a "cheetah", so Safura has amazing speed, strength, and accuracy for a huntress. She's still not as a fast as a cheetah, but she's still very fast. Safura recently found Agen'theluji, whom she thought had also died in the bloodbath of her dead pride. However, apparently Agen'theluji had escaped the chaos, seeming to be the same old elder brother she knew--but even Safura can tell her brother is hiding many secrets. As a juvenile, Safura was already a regular wanderer, never staying in one place for a long time--however, the one time she stayed in one place was when she wandered through the Mistweaver pride. There, she met her first love: Zimwi. They grew up together, and in adulthood they found love together... until they began traveling to the Swamp lands, where Safura lost Zimwi's love, and the event was so terrible Safura blocked her romantic love for Zimwi, now caring for him as only a friend. She does not remember that she loved Zimwi in that way, so in Safura's case, she will consider her next love-venture as her first love, since she does not remember that she already fell in love once before.
Anything Else: Not that I can think of...
 I'm Fo'Realz <3
Name: Agen'theluji
Owner: PhoenixGuardianMikazuki
Rank Desired: Mpelekezi
Gender: Male
Age: (Cub/Juvenile/Adolescent/Adult) Adult
Personality: Agen is one of the most laid-back lions one will ever meet in a lifetime--the only time he seems to move is when he's hungry, and even then, many wonder if he ever likes to even sleep, because sleeping is doing something! However, Agen is a proud warrior of young orphanage, and while he has no battle scars to prove it (he will have scars in the future so I can fit it in and fix his background story), Agen is a ferocious hunter and warrior. He's incredibly protective (despite how he seems) and even through all his friendliness, one sees that Agen is actually quite mysterious, hiding many facts and secrets with a steel silence. He is a kind and caring individual, with great humor and silly habits--but beware, Agen, like his younger sister, has a hidden dark side that should -never- be released...
Cert/Uncert: Cert/Uncert
History: Agen's history is mostly the same as Safura's, except for the fact that he wasn't around to see his family and friends slaughtered before his eyes. He had come back to the aftermath of the bloodbath--devastated, angry, upset, and sorrowful. Of course, like Safura, this happened when he was but a cub--Agen vanished afterwards, believing his entire pride dead and he was alone. Of course, that was until he quite literally ran into his younger sister Safura'miezi. The two had recognized each other instantly, and their scents of each other only confirmed it. They were siblings of blood, and quite happy--more than happy--to see each other alive. Agen's [over]protective side soon emerged, driving his younger sister crazy but well, she deals with it. Unlike Safura, however, Agen didn't know that it was a small rogue pride of Firekin lions who had come and slaughtered his family, though he has a strong dislike for them, he can't judge them. He allows Safura to judge them since, well, she had such a horrible experience... but then again, Agen seems to always dance around when the subject comes up about his past; even Safura has a hard time knowing what her brother is thinking, Agen is that unpredictable... the only thing predictable about him is, well, his laziness. Still, though, you want this guy on your side... and why? Well, Agen won't say.
Anything Else: Now I think about it, may shove Agen & Safura together as "twins" of a sort, not exact twins but maybe... -ponders-
I'm Fo'Realz <3
 Name: Kanyaratna
Owner: Fiction1119
Rank Desired:Chekesha eventualy
Gender: Female
Age: Adult
Personality: She is as sweet as can be but has a mind of her own. Polite with strangers yet she loves meeting new people. The eternal optimist and loves to help others even if it seems pointless.
Cert/Uncert: CertUncert
History:Kanya and her family lived right outside of the Kiingereza'nchi Pride lands and never really interacted with the pride except with a few friends who would visit. They were often Hyakushou, or at least that is what Kanya and her family thought.
Kanya had a loving childhood with two loving parents, no siblings, the only mar was that she was born blind. Neither parent was blind but some fluke in nature decided that their baby girl would be and so Kanya grew up never knowing what the world truly looked like. Not having sight was not a handicap for Kanya since she found that her other senses gave her quite a accurate view of the world and with much practice and trial and error she became the leopardess she is today.
Sound is by far the thing she loves the most, it helps her 'see' the world and when ever she can she just listens. It is this trait that enplanes why she is normally quite, she likes to hear the world around her. A close second to just listening to things, is singing. She loves to sing but normally only sings for herself as she is somewhat shy. Her voice was one of the things that her parents were most proud of for her since she has a voice of an angel.
It is because of her voice that issues arose. Kanya was singing to herself one day when, just by chance, the false king, Eztil, came upon her and wanted her voice. He enslaved her and kept her as his caged songbird, not literally, until the true king arrived.
Anything Else: She is blind but can sing which is why she will eventually get the spot she does
Might need to be adjusted but will say if it needs it
I'm Fo'Realz <3
 Name: Tikoto
Owner: Painted Moose
Rank Desired: Maulisho'Leto
Gender: Female
Age: Adult
Personality: Tikoto is a cub eater. She likes to cut the fetuses out of the mother's stomach, gorge herself on their squishes flesh and sleep in the dead female's body cavity.
Sane has never been a word to describe her. She's down right cruel, going so far as to ditch her own cubs to run off with a cheetah she'd just met. Tikoto's a bit of a fanatic and when she sets her mind on the goal at hand, she'll use all her charm to weasel her way closer to the target.
Cert/Uncert: Cert / Uncert
History: Tikoto's mother is the Goddess of Bones. When she was a cub, she was born prematurely and kept in a hole for the first year of her life. Instead of hunting for her, since the Goddess herself did not eat, she packed away the rest of the fetuses and fed Tikoto scraps.
When her mother abandoned her Tikoto set off on her rampage. Her sanity slowed waned as the years passed by. When she became pregnant with her first litter, she abandoned them in the desert and ran off with a smooth talking cheetah. Even she doesn't remember what happened after that.
Recently she's met up with her only surviving son, Abrafo, and has been flirting around with an adol. in the Matem. She'll have a fling with him, possibly leaving all the cubs there and make her way here.
Anything Else: She is on the look out for a possible mate, so every piece of meat is lookin' pretty good to her.
 I'm Fo'Realz <3
Name: Fifinella
Owner: hanging gallow
Rank Desired: Mpiganajime
Gender: Female
Age: (Cub/Juvenile/Adolescent/Adult) Adult
Personality:
She prefers to be called Fin for short. Fin makes everything into a competition rather it is from outracing another lion or to showing strength, even to who can cunningly hunt and take down a creature. She doesn’t like to admit defeat easily however she is not a fool. She knows her limits and knows who she can take down versus those who would easily end her life. Don't get her wrong though, even if she alone can't take it down she knows who and how to get everything else around her to help her suceed. Fin is very loyal to those whom she accepts and trust and will utterly try to crush those whom she distrust. Fin though she hates to admit is a terrible liar (it’s very obvious when she is lying and not lying). She believes in justice and equality of all of her peers (the other Mpiganajimes), and as well is rather good natured around everyone (when she is not bragging about a win) and with little cubs though she can come across a little bit tomboyish.
Cert/Uncert: Fin Cert / Uncert
History: N/A I don’t have much of a background on her <3 She was pretty much a loner looking for someone who needed her strength and agility.
Anything Else: Eh not yet <3
I'm Fo'Realz <3
Name: Rhoma
Owner: Shia bean
Rank Desired: Akindini’msaada
Gender: Female
Age: (Cub/Juvenile/Adolescent/Adult) Juvenile (because I am lame and do not know the growth chart)
Personality: Oh hohoho. Rhoma is a piece of work indeed! Sneaky, moody, calculating and from time to time vengeful, Rhoma is not one to be messed with...and yet she will look for any excuse to have a critter cross her path. Filled with pride, this lioness is not afraid to make herself and her desires known; and she is not afraid to take what she wants either. Bound to talk about her adventures and her strengths for hours on end, she has found a way to be annoying and controlling! Wow!
Cert/Uncert:
History: She has lived a simple, happy life...which surprises those who come to find her attitude is a little less then appealing. Born in the rogue lands to a firekin father and a pridelander mother, Rhoma is one of three cubs -- two of which are males. Being the only girl around rowdy men left quite an imprint, and though her parents saw nothing but playful cubs, what really went down amongst the trio were competitions, brutal fights, and harsh words that may or may not tear the sibling connection apart.
Anything Else: "OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!"

Closed till we get a few of the ones on the Listy I'm a Custooom! <3
Name: Njanon'dege [Meaning: Golden Bird]
Owner: Death Resurrected
Species: Lion
Gender: (Male/Female) Male
Age: (Cub/Juvenile/Adolescent/Adult) Adolescent
Rank Desired: Soudai'hertug: Future King and Rightful Heir
Personality: He is very cautious when making decisions and often ponders for a long period of time and seeks advice from many before acting upon anything. He is very quick to temper however and doesn’t like anyone insulting his family line. He is quite the Casanova when he wants to be. Otherwise he is often alone and doesn’t desire the female companion cause he goes through them like water. None of them have the flare he was looking for. Ever since the take over he’s been down on himself and wanting to get revenge. He isn’t one you want to cross because he isn’t afraid to take anyone out for the sake of his sanity.
Description: He’s all white and the entire left side of his body is covered in scars.
Only the royal family knows how it happened and no one ever talks of it. He is very conscious of his scars and isn’t proud of him. The once perfect, and beautiful lion was tainted with the scars and his pride fell through the roof when it happened. He has light blue eyes and sock markings on his legs that are black with gold decorations at the top the ruffled part would be more of a lace design it would go up to his should and just above his paw.. Along his side he has a golden wing markings. His mane and tail tuft are also golden. His ears have golden rings on the left and black on the right. He has golden tribal markings under his eye [ colorist freedom as long as it looks good ]. His hind leg has a bird marking in gold. When he arrives I will also be getting edits of peacock feather earrings and maybe a tail ring as well as the gold medallion from the ref. image.
Reference Images: (if applicable) Ref, Wing Marking and Bird Marking.
History –working on-
Name: Tsifa'askili (pronunciation: "See-fah-ah-skee-lee")
Owner: PhoenixGuardianMikazuki
Species: Lion
Gender: (Male/Female) Female
Age: (Cub/Juvenile/Adolescent/Adult) Adolescent
Rank Desired: Hadithi’hatibu--she is the "heir" to this position, paw-picked by Safura'miezi herself.
Personality: A snarky attitude,
Description:
-Basic Body Color: Silver
-Eye Color: Dark Purple
-Paws (Toes?): Dark Purple
-Tail: Tail-fluff is colored Dark Purple
-Legs: Colored Jade/Emerald Green (for designs on legs; see Ref. Images)
Reference Images: (if applicable) Right Hand is for her Shown leg. Ignore the left hand.|2nd design goes on her shoulder and on the side of her back leg as well.
History Tsifa'askili, despite being born inside of the Kiiingereza'nchi Pride, was abandoned by her mother--whom was raped by an unknown lion--and after bearing her cub, the mother left her where she was, considering her a sore memory. Tsifa'askili was found by the Hadithi'hatibu--Safura'miezi--and was adopted and taken care of by Safura since. Tsifa, of course, was paw-picked by Safura to be the heir for the position of the Hadithi'hatibu. Tsifa, as a young cub, had often wondered by she looked simliar and yet so different from her "mother", when she overheard a story Safura had been telling the latest young cubs about a rather familiar story. Tsifa doesn't remember who her mother was, for she was found fresh out of the womb. As far as Tsifa knows, Safura is her "mother"--Safura named her, took care of her, and by all means is most assuredly her mother. However, after that story, she knew she was not Safura's child by blood. It cleared up a lot of trouble for Tsifa, who had begun to develop feelings for Safura's brother--her "uncle" Agen'theluji. As such, Tsifa feels she is free to have these feelings for him, but she realizes that it's also a love that's unfounded. After all, Agen'theluji has a mate (when I receive Tsifa I will RP her with the knowledge that Agen is mated, even if he isn't mated by the time I get her). Tsifa has grown up learning all of Safura's techniques in story-telling, not to mention she has a surprising talent for it. Her personality, however, is one of question...
*Tsifa is made specifically for this pride.
*NOTE!!* I, PGM, will be paying for this custom instead of DB. x]

Power for MEEE! She would be helping the takeover, but not joining the pride.
Name: Dabiku
Owner: krysti_auzuki
Species: lion
Gender: (Male/Female) Female
Age: (Adult/Adol Please) Adult
Rank Desired: None
Personality: Dabiku has a very snarky sense of humor. Playfulness is a large part of her personality; she believes in having a good outlook on life. She has a hard time truly trusting other lions until they prove their goodwill to her. This is because of her upbringing in a warrior-oriented pride. On the flip side, she is surprised by any and all acts of kindness, and she considers herself indebted to those who commit them. She seems rather friendly to lions who first meet her, as she believes in giving a good impression. Those who are unfriendly beg for fights, in her opinion. However, she will not shy away from fights - even those with much better warriors - because she feels that she has something to prove after her failed adolescent exam.
Dabiku is a loyal friend to those she trusts. She has a stern sense of right and wrong that normally gets her into trouble. Her belief is that the future can overwrite the past, so she endeavors to make the most of her present time on the Savannah. She believes in warrior gods and goddesses, but has a hard time believing in other Savannah deities, because her old pride forsook all but those who ruled over battle.
Description: Dark fur with a green splotch over her hindquarters. Yellow eyes.
Reference Images: (if applicable) Here.
History In her original pride, each lion had to pass a test upon becoming an adolescent. If they failed, they had two choices. They could leave the pride or become one of the lowest castes. No member of the hunter castes could look these failed lions in the eyes. Dabiku chose to leave, thinking the system unfair.
Dabiku is an average huntress. Her father was the best hunter in her entire pride, and he was extremely disappointed in her when she failed their exam. During the darkest part of the night, those moments before sunrise, Dabiku often dreams of returning home to her family and friends. Once the sun rises and pours its heat across the Savannah, she finds that she enjoys life as a rogue. She may long for a pride like her own, but she dislikes being pigeonholed somewhere just to belong.
She would not be interested in joining the pride for the above history - she's rather wary of joining another pride after her previous bad experience. However, she'd be willing to help with the takeover! Power for MEEE!  Name: Hala
Owner: Kimaria
Species: Lion
Gender: (Male/Female) Male
Age: (Adult/Adol Please) Adult
Rank Desired: He'll just be a bully who'll leave afterwards x3
Personality: To put it simply, Hala is not a nice lion. He was once a noble lion living the life of a highly regarded assassin in a distant and ancient pride. However, two years ago the brother he had thought so highly of, turned on him with the desire to cause death. The cause of the rift was nothing more than a fit of jealousy that a female they both had affections for chose Hala. However, his brother's assassination attempt failed, leaving him angry and vengeful.
He asked the pride for permission to seek out his brother, Altair, and slay him. However, the pride would not permit it, for they had thought highly of both brothers and were convinced that the two would again see eye-to-eye. However, a month later, Hala could bear it no longer. He left the pride knowing he would not ever be able to return and set out after his brother in attempt to take his revenge upon him for his treachery.
Since then, Hala has grown cold and bitter towards all. He puts on a good act, pretending to be kind, pretending that he cares, but he does not. Nothing matters to him now. Nothing except finding his brother. He will kill - for a price - and he feels no shame or guilt about taking lives, destroying families or having one-night-stands with passing females.
Description: Hala is not a huge lion, but he has a strong, atheltic build.
