Name: Nukta
Meaning: Second
Father: -- [Unknown]
Mother: -- [Unknown]
Siblings: Mosi; First [Unknown]
Half-siblings: -- [n/a]
Mate: Adanna
Offspring: Mosi, Jini
Pride: Pridelands
Position in Pride: Hunter [n/a]
Personality: Brash and broody, Nukta is a hard fellow to read at times. He seems to be in a constant state of grump, never really smiling much or expressing emotions besides annoyance and frustration. He has a snarky sense of humor and a slow sarcastic wit. He doesn't do well with reading between lines and details and subtlety are two elements that are lost on him. Despite his coarse exterior, however, Nukta does have a heart underneath the black fur and dirty glares. He has a weakness for the young and orphaned, and spends his days traveling with his adopted little sister, Adanna.
History: Nukta's family are decendents of the Ushirkino Watembazaji, a pride of jungle-dwelling lions that recently suffered from not only a great civil dispute, but also a plague that seemed to travel and linger in various territories surrounding the pridelands. His parents got out long before the sickness hit, however, and produced two sons on their own. Nukta had one older brother who was very dear to him, and a protective role model in his life.
The two boys were playing in the beginning of their juvinile days, seeking a bit of unsupervised adventure one day when they came across an injured hyena. They'd remained hidden out of sight, and down wind, but a misplaced paw gave them away. Nukta's brother ordered his younger sibling to go find their parents and bravely and foolishly rushed out to distract the wild scavenger. Nukta, who was paralyzed with fear, could only watch in horror as his brother was killed right before his very eye and carried off in the hungry jaws of his assailant.
Heartbroken, guiltridden, and traumatized, Nukta left his family behind out of fear of facing his poor parent's grief. They lost not one, but two sons that day.
It was in the graveyard that the Mbingu decendant met Adanna, who would become like a sister to him in their traveling time. He did not intend to return home, and so offered to help her find her missing father and brothers. The two have become very close since then. Adanna knows of Nukta's horrible past but she accepts him as he is anyway, and Nukta has helped Adanna begin to accept the harsh reality of her seperation.
 
Name: Kimya'Ulikia
Meaning: Silent purpose
Father: -- [Unknown]
Mother: Kinja [Former Firekin -- Rogue]
Brothers:
@@ - Kamal; Perfection
@@ - Hakan'Mawasii; Fire Guardian
@@ - Kavuasi; --
@@ - Kimeti; Firefly
Sisters:
@@ - Kwana; --
@@ - Kafara; --
@@ - Motomillia; --
@@ - Kijinga; --
Offspring: --
Pride: Rogue
Position in Pride: -- [n/a]
Personality: Kimya is young yet, but so far she has prooven to live up to her namesake: quiet and softspoken. Her silence is only countered by her affection and tender love shown to her mother and brothers. She adores all three of them with everything her little body and heart have to give. Her big brother Hakan is her hero in particular, living up to his name and guarding the two females in his life. Kamal is a favorite as well as she can't seem to get enough of either boy. She's likely to be at their side for all of her years as well, aiding Hakan in looking after her when Kinja might not be so able.
Kimya would make a wonderful older sister, friend, or mother someday should the opprotunity ever present itself. Weather or not her family allows for the latter to become a reality is another question entirely. ( wink )
History: Being written...

Name: Kimaji
Meaning: Misty
Father: Swaii
Mother: Kifuku(deceased)
Siblings: Majito, Ziwa, Abiri, Rindima, Wia (So stole that from Swaii's tag. xD )
Half-siblings: ?? :0
Offspring: o__o;;;....
Pride: None. x3;;
Position in Pride:.. Uh.. None? D:'
Personality: Will write later. xD
History:Hmm, I dunno how to put this, other than she's growing up with her da and her mums dead. o.o; Also, she was born in.. I think the last rain misties saw? xD; Or maybe a bit after.. :0 Dunno, in an RP Swaii was like.. Remembering the he haden't seen rain sense she was born. D:' Should ask Dusteh laters.--------- 
Name: Karama
Meaning: Gracious gift esp. from God
Father: ???
Mother: ???
Siblings: ???
Half-siblings: ???
Offspring: None. D':
Pride: None :0
Position in Pride: None. xD
Personality: Clever, very clever. Karama is an affective hunter, and though fails many hunts, is often sucessful on wichever prey she finds. Not dumb enough to fight a lion, or any animal that can be a thread, the leopard rather makes deals, and noble, she accomplishes them. She's respectfull when she meets any possible thread, but rather arrogant when she sees something she can defeat. Still, she dosen't fight too much, being a relatively vulnerale, a wound can be fatal, if she's one bit slower or weaker than she could be, something could just come by and finish her.
History: A few weeks after birth, Kamara's father was killed, he had been too distracted thinking about his new family that he caught a wildabeast, but put it on too low a branch, and was soon surrounded by a few lionesses. He was wounded, but escaped. Though he didn't survive long, he'd lost too much blood, and died after reaching the den. The three cubs where already exploring, of course with the company of mama and papa. But sense papa had died, their mother, went into some sort of shock state, and chased all three into a hole, after killing the oldest cub, Karama's only sister, and remained there. She wanted to kill them-- all looked so much like their father-- the fool who left her alone. But she waited too long, hyenas, shameless and territorial, soon came to finish her, only failing to notice the three cubs.
After that, they wandered together, eating scraps of food they found lying around. Though, one day, they were found by hyenas. Karama had always been the strongest, and fastest, so she dashed away, leaving the others behind. She didn't know if they had survived, but sense then, she'd brought herself up. Learning how to hunt was hard without any tutoring, but she managed it. She also learned to pull her meals up a tree as high as she could; only leopards were graced with this ability, wich made her proud.
Thanks to this, she is rather tough, and thinks lowly of most, her father had been stupid, in her mind, her mother had been crazy from the start. Her siblings were nice, great, actually, so she always pays respect to their memory. They'd helped her live untill that hyena found them, she wanted to know if they were alive, but find it useless to go on a search.
Don't get your hopes up, the blow will be worse. Is what she'd always think.
----------------------------------------
Name: Tibuka
Meaning: Make Muddy
Father: ???
Mother: ???
Siblings: ???
Half-siblings: --
Offspring: --
Pride: --
Position in Pride: --
Personality: Tibuka is rather full of himself, likes to show what he can do and is a bit of a push over. He bullies sometimes, and has a bit of bad intent towards many things, likes to tease and taunt things like leopards, cheetahs or even lions, though prefers picking on the weaker ones, never in the mood to get hurt.
Other than that, he still has a rather friendly side towards wild dogs and hyena, but only after getting to know them a bit better.
History: Tibuka's story isn't really complex. He was raised by parents, untill he got a bit older, a tad above puppyhood. His siblings had been killed a few weeks earlier, so he was always taken good care of. Anoyed, he ran away, far away, suddenly finding his parents boring. He'd left for a few weeks, and when he returned, tired and hungry, they were dead. Supposedly, some elephant showed up and trampled on them.
Still too young to have learned to hunt, he had to watch the other hyenas do it, till he culd so himself. He fed on scraps until then, what the packs left or even what lions gave up on. Now he is a good hunter, even if lone hyenas aren't as good as more individuals. But he's a tad distracted, and might fail.
-----------------
Name: Fumbi
Meaning: Dust
Father: ??
Mother: ??
Siblings: ??
Half-siblings:
Offspring: --
Pride: --
Position in Pride: --
Personality: Rather laid back, very playfull. Fumbi isn't a tad formal, nor shy, he could just walk up to some rabid lion and say: Wonderfull day, isn't it? <3
History: Fumbi grew with his family, and eventually left them behind, he wanted to fly higher, and they were holding him back. But, he made a big mistake, getting lost in the thorn patch. Afterwards, he got lost in a 'cave', and was almost giving in, barely any water, and no food. Untill he saw something, a leopardess. He'd followed her out, even with a bit mess ups, sense she was rather... Well, tense. She also called him noisy, odd, no?
----------------------------------------------
Name: Ouro
Meaning: Gold, in portuguese X3
Father: Bronze
Mother: Prata
Siblings: Ferro, Esmeralda, Diamante, Perola.
Half-siblings: None
Offspring: None
Pack: None, yet. X3
Position in Pack: None x3
Personality: Laid back, lets life take its route, but is always ready for it, loyal, and brave. Not agressive towards lions, hyenas, cheetahs or leopards, friendly guy. But, is a little tense around leopards, their scary!
History: Born in a rather odd family, where all were named after metals or precious stones. The pack itself had an odd name, wich he unfortunatly coulden't recall. see, he was snatched as a pup while waddling after a small mouse, wich was much faster than he. His mothers carefull gaze was on his brothers Ferro and Diamante, who were having a little too.. exagerated fight.
Odd creatures picked him up that day, put something on his muzzle, and then onto some sort of odd elephant, and all he could do was watch his mother try and chase the speedy beast, while he was held by odd paws.
They tried teaching him odd things, and put even odder things on his neck, fortunatly, he was too small for them to fit, and could always slip out. They offered him things and then screamed some stuff, wich he supposed were commands. If he would have understood all this, he'd have learned some two leggers wanted to teach him how to take care of bovine, as they were having trouble finding 'normal' dogs.
A week later, they just drove far away from all those bovine, and still moving, just kicked him off the elephant-- it was quite a tumble. He'd never make his way back to his mama, would he? It had already been a week! Certainly mama would have ran off with his brothers and sisters to be safer, she was so neurotic!
With a sigh, Ouro marched on, life wanted to be like that? So be it. He was ready.
--------------------------
Name: Preta
Meaning: Black in portuguese X3
Father: ???
Mother: ???
Siblings: --
Half-siblings: --
Offspring: --
Personality: Strict, dosen't tolerate foolishness well, sarcastic, protective, motherly.
History: Preta probably lived the most common life for a jackal; grow, leave parents, live your own life. But something was diferent, in one of her wanders, she found a pup, but not any pup, a wild dog pup. He was called Ouro. She'd never had pups, but certainly wished to, and took the pup under her tail, even if he would grow to be much bigger than she.
And he did, but, unfortunatly, he apperently didn't loose the habits he'd had with his old family, and had nothing to do with her. She still watches after him, but not longer treats him with a motherly instinct; he's just.. There.

Posted: Fri Feb 10, 2006 10:33 am
Name: Mchele
Meaning: 'Clean Grain' - like used in cooking
Father: Mahiri
Mother: Bakhti
Siblings: Kiburi, Mbaya, Nitesh, Mbali and Malaika
Half-siblings: Danzi,
Offspring: none yet
Pride: Pridelands
Position in Pride: Hunter
Personality: Mchele has a soft personality, always eager to please others but his parents most of all. His family mean the world to him and he really is a home-loving 'mummy's boy'. He's somewhat of a sook and isn't nearly as adventurous or active as the other Pridelander lions, and even lionesses, that are his own age. It's no surprise then that he's found his feelings drifting towards the more 'y' chromosome-inclined lions...
History: Born of two rogues after they joined the Pridelands lions, Mchele has known an easy carefree life. And he's enjoyed every minute of it. His sister Kiburi didn't though and left when she was growing out of the juvenile stage, something that confused and upset Mchele due to their close bond.
Since that time he's done only a little wandering, just to the edges of the Graveyard, where he's met up with Ausha. A very intriguing male lion who gives the Pridelander stirrings in his heart and shivers up his spine. (not the bad sort though *wink wink*)
-----
Name: Rasuli
Meaning: 'Prophet / Messenger'
Father: unknown
Mother: (made-up SoA character)
Siblings: none
Half-siblings: none
Offspring: none yet
Pack: Graveyard Hyena Pack
Position in Pack: Head Scout
Personality:This little chappie isn't very nice and with just a hint of oddness. You wouldn't know it to look at him though - He's sharp on the up-take, not afraid to take a bite out of someone when annoyed enough or feeling threatened and has a healthy dislike of lions. But he hears a voice in his head, that he believes this voice to be one of the SoA gods. Which god it is, he isn't sure, but no one will sway him in his belief and he'll listen to it in almost all cases.
History: The only pup in his litter, his family consisted of his mother and a rather mad uncle (so yes, there is a family history of insanity). They were rogues, roaming the southern lands, the outskirts of the graveyard and occassionaly sneaking into the Pridelands to hunt the larger grazing animals. During his early pup-hood his name was Mmoja. A simple name his mother gave him because he was her one-and-only child.
However this family group was broken by the plague. The uncle died first and his mother succumbed soon after, leaving the young hyena to survive on his own. At first it was hard and he grew very weary until he was close to death. Collapsed on the dusty rocks of the wastelands, with his vision and consciousness slipping in and out, he was visited...
A voice made itself heard in his head, appearing without a given direction while the whisps of dust swirled around in the night air. It told him he was chosen. It told him his family and other hyenas had been killed by a plague sent by the lion's gods. He was to survive, to heed this and to help bring the hyenas back into power. With this vision, he gathered up his strength. Snapping up bugs to feed him until the voice led him to a carcass not too far away. Surely this was a sign! At least he believed so.
(( Whether this was an actual vision from a god or not, I can't say. I'd much rather people decide for themselves. It's up to each individual whether they want to believe the same as the little hyena or blame it on his near-death hallucinations. More fun that way. ^_~ ))
After the plague and the first appearance of this voice in his head, he renamed himself. Chosing, quite appropriately, Rasuli, for he believed he was a prophet of this unknown god. Since then he has made his way to the Graveyard and weaseled his way into the pack. Even going so far as working his way up as something of Mafa's favourite pup. He finds her a very good leader figure, something he needs, especially with their similar beliefs about lions.
-----
Name: Haiji
Meaning:
Father: unknown
Mother: Chezaji (made-up SoA character)
Siblings: none
Half-siblings: none
Offspring: none yet
Pack: Hamaji (still being created)
Position in Pack: Alpha
Personality: The only daughter of a single mother, Haiji was taught a great many things at a young age to help her survive. She's always been pretty smart but with the new responsibility of rebuilding a wild dog pack she's become even more defensive. She takes things personally and has a habit of letting problems grow on her shoulders. She tries to be reasonable and responsible in her actions and thoughts, as a young heir what else could she be? But her greatest worry is to let the new pack die like the old one, and she'll do whatever it takes to stop that from happening.
History: Haiji's mother was a member of a previous wild dog pack which was destroyed while Chezaji was still rather young. She managed to flee the slaughter of the other wild dogs with her brother but they were later separated. She never believed she would find him again or that there was any survivers of her old pack and so she'd grown independant and practical - somthing she passed onto her only daughter.
Haiji was born by her mother and a rogue father she never knew. Her mother died in a hunting accident when she was still a juve and since then the idea of finding the old pack of wild dogs her mother belonged to has been her only dream. She did find Dhati, the son of Chezaji's brother, and from him learned of the true demise of the Hamaji pack.

Name: Laio
Meaning: -
Father: -
Mother: Kaeska
Siblings: Had a brother?
Half-siblings: -
Offspring: -
Coalition: Duma'bara
Position in Pride: Captain
Personality: A few words; hyperactive, crafty, cheeky, bold, talkative. A leader even if she doesn't know it, with a curious way of speaking. :3
History: Laio has wandered pretty much all of the lands she has ever heard of. She has visited the Mistweavers, the Southlands, the graveyard... she has taught herself everything, and considers herself streetwise in the extreme. For a while she hung around the borders of the Pridelands, becoming... somewhat tired of having no place to call home....
Then with the finding of the great central baobab and a gathering of cheetahs, and finding herself as being the one looked up to, she has become the captain of the cheetah territory, the Duma'bara, with more and more cheetahs every day. :3=======================
Note: She has extensive backstory, so her family are all Original Characters, and not related to any real SoAs that have the same name :3
Name: Kinyamkela
Meaning: Storm that causes a whirlwind
Father: MakabhidiMother: Laini Siblings: Ardhi(M), Matifu(F), Kisulisuli (Mtwin), Mapepeaji(F)Half-siblings: Nyesha(F), Zunguko(M)Mate: Enki
Offspring: Miaiko(F), Kisulisuli(M), La'atzu(F)
Pride: Mistweaver
Position in Pride: Huntress
Personality: Practical, blunt, honest and kind, except when she falls into odd fever dreams. That confuses her just a bit...
History: Journal here! =============================== 
Name: U'yosi G'vhi
Meaning: Hungry Wildcat
Father: -
Mother: -
Siblings: -
Half-siblings: -
Mate: Asa'nunu Waya (deceased)Offspring: Tsi'hilu Waya, Asegi Waya (deceased)Pride: Ela'wadiyi
Position in Pride: Hunter
Personality: U'yosi was originally from the Clan of the Mantis, but joined his mate's clan upon marrying her. He tried to take over for Asa'nunu as another parent to his children; but it was not easy, especially since he did most of the hunting for the clan himself. He is stolid and predictable, and very loyal to those he dearly loves.
History: Before the Darkfire Pride came, U'yosi fell in love with the headstrong, cloud-marked and blessed Asa'nunu Waya. She felt the same way, and their clans were more than happy to agree. But for a long time they were blessed with no cubs, and Asa'nunu grew distant from her stolid, practical mate, in truth more attracted to the wild and handsome A'yatas Dihi.
The disaster was harsh, and Asa'nunu took the loss of her clan like a blow to the heart (hence the new name, wounded wolf). She became dispirited, even when the new land that they had traveled to became birthplace to their first cubs, both also marked like the sky, an auspicious event. But she showed little interest, and U'yosi became the parent, whereas she was more like a clan leader to them. But he still loved her deeply, and did as she wished.
And then a plague hit the new land...
Tsi'hilu went missing, and U'yosi could only watch helplessly as his mate and his son wilted and faded from life. He carries the guilt very deeply in his heart, but the knowledge that Tsi'hilu was possibly still alive kept him going. Now they are reunited, U'yosi and Tsi'hilu, each the only remaining members of their clans, hope to meet others. U'yosi in particular holds the resurrection of the pride very high in his priorities.

Meaning: Ruins
Father: Korvo
Mother: Devi
Siblings: -
Half-siblings: (Taban)
Offspring: -
Pride: (pending)Mtamani
Position in Pride: (pending) [False] Seer
Personality: Many lions are confused as to whether Ika is really a male at all. He will never grow a mane (ie will probably stop growing at adol stage), and is dainty in his movements, soft-toned in his speech. He loves to speak in a completely enigmatic way, so the one asking the question is not quite sure just what answer they just received...
He likes to think of himself as a scholar, and pretends mightily that the old writings speak to him and can tell him the future, enjoying the prestige this gives him; after all, he looks the part, and who is to know the difference?
He is completely careless of whether someone is good or evil; he thinks mainly for himself, but does not mind others idolising him. He tolerates most people by ignoring them, as long as they do not take offense or become angry at him; he is perpetually smiling and speaking lightly, with a laugh, but always with his silver eyes hooded, unable to see their true expression.
History:The Anansi Lions were a strange, underground pride of lions, over many years adapted to prowl tunnels beneath the savannah. But they had to return to the surface at night, to hunt... and give birth. One Anansi lioness, blind Devi, ventured forth from the tunnels to the desert, and gave birth to her only cub, her tired remaining senses not noticing the nearby den, wherein lay a cheetah who had died protecting her only cub.
And as she gave birth, it was the lustily mewling cheetah babe she heard first, and took back with her into the tunnels, leaving her true cub behind.
Ika can only remember the sand and tall monuments towering out of the desert oasis, as far back as he can remember. He does not care where he came from, or if he even had parents; his favourite tale to tell others is that he was born of the magic of the writings that decorate the eroded ruins. He looks very young always, but speaks with a cleverness and derogatoriness that comes from one much older. He is fond of the little snakes that inhabit the ruins also, as they were the only ones that he could speak with at first.
(Hypothetical) When Nyekendu and Afa find the ruins and plan to make a pride with stolen cubs, Ika at first watches them from the shadow of the ruins but eventually appears, and states that he does not care that they have entered his place, that they can have it for all he cares. And of course, you can be the king and queen! He does not care, and is perhaps seen as just another cub with which to swell the numbers? Though eventually he ends up with his own sort of rank among the innocent young ones that have been brought to the place by Afa and Nyek.
The servitude of a young, purehearted slave lioness Malika has been gifted to him, and he's endlessly fascinated by her rose-tinted view of the world, the way she can never see something bad, when he automatically assumes everyone lies...

+ Malik

Personality:
Three words- big...red...dork. Mwali started out quite bratty and selfish and it took a long, hard trip through the desert and a lesson in humility to beat it out of him. He's currently a bit shy, very self-concious, and a bit slow- but he's got a good heart. "Hrmm... yes well I suppose I should say a bit about myself. I'm Mwali, former prince of the Firekin pride. I was the youngest of two princelings under my father Makadari, the king of the firekin. As a cub, I was pretty distant from my father. His attention was focused on my older brother, Kui, who was to suceed the throne after my father. However, I was allowed to anything that I wanted because no one dared to disrespect the son of their king, even if he was the less favored of the two. I never had to learn how to hunt because we had slaves to hunt for us, even if the slaves weren't bringing in enough, the huntresses always seemed fairly sucessful and I was among the first to eat. I grew rather plump in my youth, and I'm ashamed to admit I was quite the brat prince.
As I grew older I realized that no matter how much I had, my life seemed empty. I watched my brother grow up, find a mate, and produce a family between him and his beloved. It was then that I realized what I was missing in my life- love. My father never gave me a second glance when he could afford to, my mother wasn't a part of my life hardly at all, and the pride despised me. There was ony one solution- to leave the pride and find lands where I could start on a clean slate. Living wasn't really living if I found no joy in it. So one night I helped a handful of our slaves escape, and in turn they led me to their former home, the pride lands.
Since then I've found a mate in the sister to the king Mufasa, Koho. She was firey at first and rather disapproving of my coming into her lands but after an incident during a hunt, she softened up... I guess pity does have its perks. She and I lived happily in the pride lands until I caught word of my father- and brother's death. I was shocked... and devistated. Though I grew up jealous of Kui, he was still my brother, and just about the only lion that would bother speaking with me during my youth. With him gone, it made me the sucessor.
I returned to the lands only to find Kui's mate caring for what remained of the pride... Kimeti, my brother's oldest son, will be the one to suceed. I know of his lineage through his mother- a halfbreed, but if I were to reveal that, the pride might turn on him. I'm ashamed to say that I'm the last of the firekin's pure royal blood... but I already made up my mind that I will not abandon Koho. I love her more than anything. Our visit home was cut-short. Koho had grown heavy with cub and upon our return to the pridelands, she gave birth to six healthy cubs- three boys, and three girls.
Sarabi, the queen of the Pridelanders, has agreed to let them, and us, stay dispite the inter-breeding between our two enemy prides. A releaf on my part... however I do feel I should return to the desert, something seems to be drawing me there though for the moment, I'm not sure what..."

Personality:
Maji strives to be a perfect gentlemen. Speaking in a fine accent, constantly making an effort to keep a smile on his face, and always willing to listen- it takes a lot to make him angry. He's always acted mature, even as a cub he carried himself with as much grace as possible but never blinded himself with pride. He cares very deeply for his pride and tries his best to be deserving of the title they've given him. He's not too trusting of strange females after his encounter with Ciyari, he seems to drift off into sad thought when he encounters cubs, and he's suspicious of the motives of incoming females. "To start things off, I have only recently become aware of who I am and my place here in my homelands. You see, when I first became aware of myself- in a more physical sense -I really had nothing to tell me who I was. Alone in the deepest cave of the sacred caverns of my ancestors. Somehow... I knew them. I knew where each passage led, what each room was for, what treasures they held, and -curiously enough- I understood the writings that decorated the walls from top to bottom. This led to my knowlege of the ways, history, and ancestors of the Mistweavers. The recordings of attacks by outsiders with flaming red pelts, illness falling on the pride- that's when they stopped. Past then I didn't have so much as a hair off one of their tails to tell me what had happened to them. As far as I was concerned, I was the only lion left in the world.
It seemed that way for quite a time. I was just a cub so my vision of the world was only as wide as what I discovered. In those days my best friends were three 'prey-beasts'. Gure, a gazelle, Biton, a Zebra, and Baba, a water bison. They hadn't seen anything like me either so they assumed that I was the very last of my kind though they told me stories of cat creatures prowling the branches of the jungle.
Eventually I discovered another one like me- Laana, a black lioness whow as being mothered by a leopard. She was shy and I saw her scarcely, but we became quiet friends. Others began arriving as well, a young lioness who would soon to become my sworn sister by the name of Kinyamkela was among the first. She had mistaken me for her lost brother. She was supposidly from a small handful of lions originating from the Mistweavers that had fled to escape the curse of the land, only to fall themselves. As I grew, the more lions of my blood seemed to have been drawn into the lands and the more that came, the more I knew.
One of them, Ciyari, claimed to be the queen. I had no doubts back then in the stupidity of my youth and pledged myself to her. She named me her knight and as such I lived for many seasons. Her squire, Hodari, had vanished leaving me alone to protect her. Under her I formed a pride of all those that had gathered, defending her name and seeing to it that her word was law. As many fools eventually do- I fell in love and in the jungles of 'her' lands, we mated. Later, she revealed that she was none of the Mistweaver blood- and that I was, and if that was true the lands were truely mine. The forming pride agreed and many of them pledged themselves to me. Soon after that, Ciyari left with her squire who had returned without my knowing... left me and took our children with her. I fear I shall never know them and dread the horrid things she might tell them about me.
But, as many things tend to do, life went on. It was fate that brought Enki into the lands. He arrived during Ciyari's pregnancy... it was him that told me that Ciyari's suspicions were true. Apparently I bear startling resemlence to my father- the late king of the Mistweaver. This made me the true prince of the lands and with Enki and the pride's support I ran the lands as I felt I should. Ramses soon came into the lands, I found him on a casual patrol of the boarders and now he's grown into a powerful lion like his brother, Enki. I'm happy to say that Enki and Kinyamkela have fallen in love and now my dear sister is heavy with cub. Our pride will be reborn, though the trails we have faced thus far have been difficult to overcome. .:Index of Significant Events:.(0) Introduction Post - Maji Awakens

Kayin was shunned by his mother at birth, loved by his sister but he's only really close to his brother, Utomo, who is somehow able to communicate with the deaf cub. He tries to keep out of the way and seems highly dependant on Utomo. He loves his family very much and would do just about anything to get their approval. He's quite aware of his mother's disappointment in him but he tries to impress her anyway. My name is Kayin, though this I know only through my brother. I was born the oldest son of three cubs under my mother, Ciyari. Mother never much cared for Utomo and myself, we're both males and from what I can assume, she doesn't like boys. She loves Kilua a lot though... from birth I was different. I can't... do something that Utomo calls 'hear'. It's like... sounds that Utomo makes only where everyone can feel them. He calls them sounds, it confuses me a lot but it's a bad thing that I can't 'hear'. Utomo can communicate with me though, he keeps me safe and teaches me so I can be more normal. He's such a good hunter, I watch him and I learn.. he catches mice for us to eat since mama doens't give us much food any more. When she hunts, she and my sister get to eat first, then the big guy that's with her. Utomo and I share whatever's left. He catches lots of mice, I catch some sometimes when I'm really lucky and he's proud of me... it makes me happy to see someone smile at me.
Utomo says the big guy isn't our daddy... but I knew that. He doesn't look like any of us and daddys would take care of boys like me and him.  --Profile Coming Soon-- --Profile Coming soon-- | Basic Info |Name: TabanMeaning: --- ---Rank:

Taban is a friendly creature dispite his having never really been exposed to large groups. He's quite convinced that he's a lion or at least half lion because of his lack of spots. He's horribly loyal to his 'father', Korvo, and the lion's ideals. He has an odd sense of honor in the respect that even if his actions are dishonest, his words never will be. Perhaps the largest flaw about the youth is he tends to be rash and will often act upon his first gut instinct. Hisory:
Like most creatures, Taban never really knew his father. Taban's mother gave birth to a litter of two cubs, one died soon after birth leaving Taban as her only living offspring. The mother's attention was fully devoted to him in her last weeks of life. Just before the cub's eyes could open, she was killed defending her den from a small pack of wild dogs. Wheather it was because the appitite of the wild dogs was satisfied by his mother's body or it was downwind at the time, he managed to go undiscovered in the small den.
Nearby a blind lioness gave birth to a single cub of her own, but seeing as she was blind she was completely dependant on hearing her cub to locate it. The lion cub didn't cry out- but the newborn cheetah cub did. Though confused how her own cub managed to get a yard away from her, she found him and returned to the underground. The father of the original cub, Korvo, recently lost his memory so he's completely unaware that the cub that his mate's raising isn't actually his own. Taban, having been raised from just a few hours after birth by lions, believes himself to be a lion along with his adopted parents.

Name: Danzi
Meaning: Bitter orange; Grapefruit
Father: Taka
Mother: Madaha
Siblings:
Half-siblings: None
Offspring: Kia and Ardhi
Pride: Pridelands
Position in Pride: Hunter
Personality: Kind, gentle, wouldn't hurt a bug
History: Danzi was born to a lone lioness named Madaha on the outskirts of an oasis, sharing their hidden home with his two sisters. Many animals visited the oasis, making it possible for their mother to keep the three cubs fed. But when the oasis dried up, they had to leave it, traveling across the hot desert. Along the way, strange two-legged creatures came and captured Madaha, and Danzi was left with just his sisters, finding refuge in the folliage of a jungle. Alone in the jungle, the three cubs scrounged up any kind of food they could, from bark to bugs to small rodents. But their paradise, if they could call it that, wasn't all it seemed. Danzi's sisters met an ill fate each, the elder of them falling in the river and being tossed about by the rappids, the other falling prey to crocodiles. This left Danzi alone, isolated from others of his kind. He happened upon paths, following them, never remaining in one place for long, usually just long enough to sleep through the night. Still he travels, having grown rather bitter for a cub, somehow upholding his own defense by his own devisions of hiding places and vantage points where ever he goes. But that is now a lie. He no longer travels. He found his place amid the Pridelanders, and while he's been haunted by recurrent dreams of a lion long dead, he's learned to ignore them.
Name: Ishara
Meaning: Sign
Father:
Mother:
Siblings:
Half-siblings: None
Offspring: Masika, Nkechi, Toshiro, Jwahir Jaha, Runai
Pride: None
Position in Pride: N/A
Personality: Caring, thoughtful, yet practical
History: Born to a pride far off, Ishara blended in perfectly fine amid them. She had a whole other name there, but when she left with her four brothers, she later adopted a name given to her by a pride she stayed with a bit. Going back on the pride she was from, though, all were some shade or tint of gray, white, or black in patterns of stripes or spots. When her brothers were chased from the pride by the ruling adult males - a group of four brothers - she left with them, bidding farewell to her favored aunt and to her two tiny newborn cousins(It was the kind of pride where cubs were born amid the pride, and the whole group went with the female, believing it to be much safer that way for them to all be together, a female's sisters, aunts, cousins, grandmother, mother, and the adult males protecting her in her time of vulerability), a twin pair of zebra-striped cubs - Ideal for hunting zebra, clearly. The whole pride had seen them as a blessing. What Ishara didn't know, though, was that a few years after her and her brothers left, plague hit the pride, giving them a deadly blow to the majority.
As she traveled, Ishara split off from her brothers. Heading south instead of east, she followed the scents of other lions, having caught a disease many had had before her, though mostly male, and not deadly unless caught by the wrong animal while alone - Wanderlust. She met several prides along the way, stopping for a visit only when she heard calls of invitation. She learned many different things from them, learned about their histories and religions, as well as stories they told. But the one story she'd heard time and again from all the prides of which appeared to be true, since it was told the same from pride to pride, was of a great king to the southeast, near the mountain with the flat, white-covered top, Ahadi. Turning in that direction, the black, white, and gray lioness headed southeast. Across a desert she trecked, avoiding the scent of the lions that called it home, having heard stories of the Firekin, none of them good. When she set her paws upon the soil of the southlands, she knew she'd reached her destination somehow. She smelled the Pridelands north of her, and started that way. Of course, she has yet to set her pale paws upon the soil of the Pridelands, but remaines in what she's come to know as the Roguelands, since there's no defined prides there. It was here that she met Bakhti, Rahima, Laana, and other rogues, most notable of all an adult male who is white and brown with a fluffy tan mane and black eyes named Hidalgo. The dark lioness has become fascinated by him, and rather fancies him a bit. Each day she feels more and more attracted towards him, though she still thinks of him as more of a cub in an adult's body, acting rather cubbish herself around him despite being an adult herself.
But, with time, all things change. Her feelings for Hidalgo have grown, and what's more is that a new chapter started in her life. Two, in fact. With the formation of the Maziko, she became the queen. And she produced the first litter of true Graveyarders - Five healthy cubs, each with their own personalities. She has no idea that one of her brothers is close to the lands she now lives in, and she's run into each of her two cousins at least once.
Name: Toshiro
Meaning: Talented; Intelligent
Father: Hidalgo
Mother: Ishara
Siblings: Masika, Nkechi, Jwahir Jaha, Runai
Half-siblings: None
Offspring: The days without are numbered...
Pride: Maziko
Position in Pride: Dark heir
Personality: Calmed with age, Toshiro's mind seems to have become much more whole and all there. He's also finally stopped licking bugs in favor of going out to admire the stars at night.
History: Born to the Maziko, he's grown up so far in the Graveyard, only venturing out to visit his sister that he's proclaimed his 'twin', despite not actually BEING twins at all. He plans to travel around when he and Nkechi are older, though, and visit all the prides he's only heard about.
Name: Cushti Bok
Meaning: Good Luck
Father: Unknown
Mother: Unknown
Siblings: Unknown
Half-siblings: Unknown
Offspring: Veshengo
Pride: Mpinzani
Position in Pride: Orator
Personality: Hyper, yet calm at the same time, she's a caring soul who worries about others.
History: Born into a breaking pack far away, Cushti grew up with only the traditions passed to her by her mother. Her only family she's ever found left has been her cousin, Adia, whom she cherishes deeply. She seems to contrast her cousin greatly, both in look and personality. All her life, she's traveled, looking for a new home since her pack broke up. When she met Dhati and Mataka, she found a home where she could settle, finding herself pregnant after an encounter with a dashing male from a seperate clan of her old pack(She could tell this for he shared a name of similar origin). She eagerly anticipates the chance to remember all the histories of the new pack and pass them on to her child, as well as tell many stories and some histories she's learned to the pack's pups.
Name: Zimwi
Meaning: Spirit
Father: pending
Mother: pending
Siblings: All dead
Half-siblings: None
Offspring: Uuuuh, thinking about it..
Pride: Umande'mfumi
Position in Pride: Youth
Personality: Shy, skittish, and fearful
History: What pride Zimwi's family comes from is unknown, but what is known, at least to the cub, is that his parents were both white as snow sans the hair on their tails and his father's mane. Having recieved his mother's darker gray hair, Zimwi recieved his father's orange eyes, while his sibblings also got various combinations of the genes. But when he was still very small, darker, more 'normal' lions came and slaughtered his family. Zimwi, in a state of panic, fled the scene, hiding under bushes to keep from being detected. What few prides he's encountered have always chased him away, calling him a Zimwi - A spirit. So, forgetting the name his parents gave him, he's taken on the name as his own.

Their mother had been captured when she was but a pup but their father free until he was an adolecent. They were once wild Hyenas and they missed those days trapped in the cage.
When they were born their father didn't want the life for them that they had to lead so once they could hear stories he started to tell them about the wild and the way to the elephant graveyard, he even taught them how to hunt and capture rodents so they could survive. By the time they could walk they were rearing to go though they didn't want to leave their parents behind their father told them they must stick together and be free. So one night they slipped through the bars of the cage they were kept in over night.
They sat by the cage giving their mother long sad looks. They really didn't want to leave but their father told them that life in a cage was no life at all. Their mother aggreed and told them to go to escape to the wild and be real hyenas. So they ran from the villiage in to the night and away towards the elephant graveyard where they could be real free hyenas.
The last thing their father told them was this, never tell anyone where you came from. Man was hated and mans beasts were hated even more..
