The Pride Lands
Name: Mchumba
Rank: Hunter
Parents: Ushaufu x Vikali
Mate: Single
Brief Personality: Mchumba is a bit of an odd individual. He is a descendant from Mufasa and Sarabi's lineage, but unfortunately was raised in a very peculiar situation. His mother raised him (and in a sense brain washed him) to believe that males were absolutely nothing, and were to be nothing more than pretty and gentle creatures. It was a females job to run the roost, so to speak, and he sure as better respect any female that crossed his path. No, not just respect, but absolutely grovel at their paws!
With no father figure in his life, and his mother spending most of her time with his one sister, life wasn't easy for the rose and violet lion. All he wanted was his mothers approval, and for the longest time yearned to be a girl himself. . . The only time his mother seemed to pay him any mind was when he got in trouble, but causing trouble wasn't exactly in Mchumba's nature.
His name means ' Sweetheart ' and that's a good term to sum him up.
It's been years now, and the lion has grown a bit of a backbone. He's been given a lot of strange messages, as many others in the pridelands don't seem to have an issue. He's learned, with age, that his mother might not have been entirely accurate, but old habits die hard, and he's struggled with a lot of confusion in his years.
As a cub, males seemed uncomfortable around him. . . and females never seemed to pay him much mind. Now as an adult, he can't help but feel everyone kind of looks at him funny - the females look appalled that he's such a pushover, and the males don't exactly see him as the definition of masculine.
So he's kept to himself. He doesn't have the heart to leave the pride lands, and doesn't have many close friends. His entire life has been tainted with confusion, and its caused him quite a good deal of discomfort. He isn't a good hunter (he never really learned), and he doesn't know how to 'man up' because there's never been a male figure in his life.
So he keeps to himself. He's quiet, shy, and has never outgrown his clumsy nature. He feels out of place no matter where he goes, but doesn't exactly know who to turn to or talk to. Deep down, he's just a desperate guy wanting nothing more than to find acceptance in someone in some form. But reaching out hasn't been easy - males were supposed to be seen and not heard, after all. . . . Or so his mother said.
Looking For: Family RP
Pride RP
Friends? He's pretty easily intimidated by females, but would be terribly loyal just becuase they deserve EVERY ounce of respect, zomg. . . .
Cub RP I think he'd find cubs to be fun and would certainly make a good jungle gym for them.
Mate: Due to his strange upbringing, I really think he'd do better with a male mate, as opposed to a female. Girls scare him so much it would take a pretty special female to get him to relax around them. Unless they were looking purely for someone to push around. . . in which case I could see him getting ordered in to a relationship. xD Poor guy.
I'd PREFR he have a happy ending though.
Name: Jawara
Rank: Hunter
Parents: ?? x ??
Mate: Single - but has a female lined up, until I hear otherwise from Epee :3
Brief Personality: Jawara is a huge lion, but is best described as a gentle giant. He was originally from a pride that was based on warriors and battles; only the strongest of the strong were accepted, and those with the fiercest of their kind. Everything was about brawn, where even cubs were pitted against one another to prove their prowress. Those who didn't make the cut were often turned out, enslaved, or killed.
Both Jawara and his brother managed to make it to adulthood, and they had a close relationship. They watched out for one another, with Jawara being the more cool-headed of the pair. It wasn't ideal, but it was the only life they new and no amount of arguing could convince his sibling to turn from their pride. There was too much to lose, after all.
Unfortunately, Jawara's brother was eventually taken down by a foolish 'war' started by an even more foolish 'king'. Jawara wanted no part in any of it. He was witness to too much tragedy and loss to want to continue to be a part of such a culture. Making his rounds one evening, the blond lion decided he really didn't have anything to lose, so he turned tail and left, never to return.
The rogue lands have calmed the large lion. He doesn't talk much about his history, and is a self-proclaimed pacifist. He will avoid a battle at all cost, though if words don't work and someone is in need, he won't hesitate to fight to defend what's right and good.
Life is meant to be enjoyed, and Jawara is definitely a lover. He can find good in just about anyone and anything, and is incredibly patient. Some might call him lazy or lackadaisical, and that's just fine with him. He has a strong work ethic when it comes to tastks that need to be done, but thus far has no real purpose.
Most recently, he came across the Pride Lands. He's getting on in his years, and has decided that while he loves the roaming lifestyling, he's ready to settle his paws. The Pride Lands are a perfect place for such a gentle-giant like him to call home. He's very new though, and still adjusting to having so many lions around. . . and waking up to the same scenery everyday.
Looking For: Friends
Enemies
Pride RP
Just any sort of development, really. He's open to everything. :3
Name: Fillira
Rank: Huntress
Parents: Tzigana x Kova'rytmi
Mate: Timiza'upeo (though we're still doing some backdated RP)
Brief Personality: Fillira is a girl who absolutely loves music. She is a talented singer, and can often be found dancing at any given moment. She is graceful and she loves to perform. This young lioness has no shame when it comes to performing, and has a secret love for an audience and all the attention it brings.
On top of her love of song and dance, this lioness is a bit outgoing and desperately romantic. She was born and raised in a family that was incredibly close and very loving; her parents as well as her grandparents have all been desperately in love with one another and Fillira demands the same.
Thankfully, the spirits have graced her with what appears to be a happy ending. She met a Pride Lander while out roaming, and they forged a fast friendship. While she has grown quite fond of Timiza, she has found that with happiness comes sacrifice. She has had to leave her home in the Nchi'mahadhi, and has resettled in the pride lands.
The differences between her original pride and the Pride Lands aren't great, but are enough to make her homesick now and then. Life is an adjustment for Fillira . . . . but she doesn't regret her choice.
Looking For:
Mate RP
Friends! Fillira isn't used to being part of such a LARGE pride, so I would love for her to make some new friends and acquaintances. She's still learning the Pride Lands history, so any help would be appreciated.
Musical Buddies She would love to teach someone or perform for a group of young ones. She's used to finding music everywhere in her world, and being surrounded by others that feel the same. Not having many others to perform and play with is . . . depressing. She'd love to teach someone, or find someone just as interested in music as she is!
