Still Burning Embers - Firekin Plot Search UPDATED

[Lightning Shadow X]

~::The Story so Far::~

After weeks stewing in the desert after the Safi's defeat and the 'betrayal' of her son, Damu, the pure blood Firekin, Mpeka, returned to the outskirts of her ancestral home and questioned one of the few other pureblood's, Bodaway, of the fate of the pride.

She didn't like what she learned from the other.

Only growing more enraged, she decided to spend her time out in the desert and continued to stew in her own pain and rage. Feeling the pride she had once loved, the one she had been born to, had found love in and raised her cubs in, was long dead and overrun by a mislead prince and some rogue lioness.
Her rage only laid the seeds set to grow slowly into madness that would soon rot her mind completely, but not before one last act.

Despite how much it pained and disgusted her, she found a wandering rogue and with him, begat herself a cub. Both fully understanding that he would never see his own child and Mpeka fully aware that she would only grow more hateful if he insisted his company upon her.

The cub was born and thankfully for her own sake, was born the rusty color of the Firekin.

Named for her dark pelt and the hope that she would burn even in the shadows of whatever the Firekin had now become, Kivuli'Kaa was raised with the traditionalist mindset. Told stories of the older, glory days of the vicious desert pride. The days of slaves and of great Kings and Queens.
She was told of her blood relation to Madakari and all other pure bloods of royal descent.

But never once told of her rogue heritage.

With knowledge, she was taught of the desert and how to fight and soon she grew with strength and cunning, but watched as her mother wilted into a babbling old lioness. That could barely hold a coherent conversation without being prompted.

...Kivuli's next task was clear...

Enlisting the aid of the falcon, Woki, she trekked the desert with her mother in toe. Intent to take her home so she might atleast spend the last of her days safely...and see the pride go back to its glorious traditions.

~: razz lots for the Lady::~

Personality

Kivuli'kaa is a very focused and adept warrior to a degree, she's never faced another lion besides her mother and even then she acts like a loyal soldier and knows most defensive strategies off by heart. However it is very easy to get under her skin, when pushed she can become easily angered and mouthy, coming off as sarcastic and cynical. But then again, even when she isn't angry or isn't constantly on duty, she's pretty much the same.
Despite this hot headed exterior, she shows only fleeting moments of tenderness towards her mother who up until meeting Woki has been her entire life and dotes on the maddened lioness constantly. Being extremely protective of her, to a level of showing that hot headedness once again.

Plot Points

- She will be trying to return her mother to the Motoujamii-Simo and she's willing to duel to earn a place in the pride for herself and Mpeka. I'd prefer her to get a place as a Soldier, but a Huntress works aswell.

*NEW DETAILS*
- Kivuli wishes to try and turn the pride against the current Reagent and Reagentess, she will NOT suceed! She's been lied to by her mother to basically assume the pride is weak and filled with rainbow colored pansies.
She is going to be VERY SHOCKED. And have a complete think through of what her mother told her might have been said more out of pain.
However she could use a few traditionalist / equally focused friends or comrades.

- I think personally it'd be hillarious if a male got an unrecipricated crush or affection for her after seeing her attitude or just because of the way she looks and it growing into a much stronger emotion. It won't be returned until later on after she's told she is part rogue and decides to give the male a chance.

- When Mpeka eventually dies, she will tell Kivuli that her father was indeed a rogue. This will shatter her perception of her entire life so she will become increasingly distant until she eventually decides to open up to the pride.

Want

- Some Firekin RP/Joining RP. <----- Got some lined up, just need to fill out a form. (Need to contact DFA about Kenna allowing Mpeka back in.)
- RP with pride members/pride leaders.
- A male to develop a love/affection for her and eventually become a future mate. <---- This is filled quite soon for the future. xD
- Duels.
- Encounter with Rogues.

No Want

- Death or Maiming, scars and such are allowed but I wouldn't like her blind or disabled.
- Flings, she has a very puritan view and will continue to do so to a degree even after she learns she is part rogue. She will also only be staying with her future mate.

NOTE
LSX can RP over AIM or Guild or PM. <3

Open for plots.

Azarax could eventually call her out on her plans? If she becomes a soldier, he'd definitely be keeping an eye out for her, just like he does everyone else in the army, so it'd be conceivable that he'd eventually see through her?

Having said that, though, it'd be more characteristic of him to report his observations to the Kidondo and No once he got through talking to her, BUT we can always work something out if you want.

If you're looking for something more low-key, though, either Atesh or Mishaal could confront her too :3  

[Lightning Shadow X]

That would be quite epic if Azarax called her out on that or even reported it to Kidondo and No and have them call her out on it, it'd end up in an 'interesting' conversation if she caught up with Azarax later about it. <3

Kosuke here would be willing to help her, at least a bit xd He's taught all of his now-adult children many of the old ways, and he's especially teaching his current litter the old ways and beliefs, all through stories of the pride of old. Granted, he's also comparing what he thinks Kidondo's done RIGHT, but he misses the pride of old that he was taught about xd ; He's also been filling his latest litter's heads with the fact that they have direct ancestry to Makadari.. Which ended up giving one of his daughters a big ego, but what can we do there? xd ;

I've also got Savitri, who's just happy as long as everything's going well overall. She's a neutral party, as it were, and would be willing to just be a friend. She doesn't particularly care that Kidondo's her uncle, on a political level, and her only interests outside of a happy pridal existence are making sure Kosuke doesn't act like an idiot, and her 'daughter' is brought up to be a good lion(Her cert says Huria, yes, because she has to wait another stage to start dueling for her place in the pride).  

[Lightning Shadow X]

Having an ally in Kosuke would really help aswell as having a friend in someone like Saytiri, since she was raised to trust only red pelts it will be a time before she would open up anything. But that would be awesome. <3

8D Eee, okay. Sounds like it's going to be fun. -exciiited- Feel free to hit me up on AIM (speedolstar) or through PMs whenever you're ready for the RP, or even if you'd like for them to meet beforehand or whatever.  

[Lightning Shadow X]

Sure thing! I'll be sure to nab your AIM.

Now all I gotta do is make a form. x3

Had a convo with Mims and updated the front page appropriately. <3
