[About Nil'nocere Banner]
History Nil'nocere started out as a small pride that lived near a hotspring - well, technically. The first founding members of the pride were born in the hotsprings. A leopardess by the name of Asha and a Leopon by the name of Kilua. Asha left first, of course, wanting to learn to hunt and fight, but she could not do that around healers, really. Kilua left after, searching for her own adventure.
The two met up, traveling together for a time and collecting members as they wandered. The finally settled into a new home in a river-valley near the ocean where they started a new home with new members. _____________________________ Additional Information

[General Information]
Appearance & Species All species are welcome there is no bias. Familiars All familiars are welcome and aid normal members in their duties.
_____________________________ Religion The pride has no set religion - nothing that the entire pride worships. Individuals are not begrudged their own religion however! Any members who are trying to force their religion on others will be asked to cease the behavior or kindly asked to leave. _____________________________ Mates/Flings/etc. Mates, Flings, and anything else in this area is an individual choice. Everyone has their individual opinion and they may keep their opinion as long as it does not harm someone. For example, if a character finds homosexuality wrong, they are expected to keep it to themselves and not begrudge the couple their peace.
Adolescent pregnancy is frowned upon simply because the risks involved, but are treated the same as any other. They are assigned a midwife early that will stay with them throughout the pregnancy to help them prepare.
Raising Pups and Cubs Pups/Cubs are an important part of any pack and gives this pride an opportunity to grow larger. Pregnant mothers are assigned a midwife that will help them through a safe birth as well as remain close to help with the first part of the cubs/pups lives. All pups are given until they are a bit older to just play and be a pup, but then are expected to start their studies.
Young apprentices may take part in each role so they may find something they are good at. If they end up becoming a rank they are displeased with they may start an apprenticeship under another career.
Once an apprentice decided on a career, they are given a mentor and taught until they are ready, and then given their career rank. Some mentors or apprentices may decide that the apprentice needs a journeyman period where the apprentice leaves the pride to further their studies on their own. _____________________________ Outposts Outposts are created by a small group of different ranks that have proven themselves to the pride as the top of their class. The Outpost is a small faction that sets up away from that continues the pride's work.
An outpost contains at least 1 Healer, 1 Guard, and 1 Crafter but often contain more. Crafters Crafters are a special part of the pride that work closely with both the healers and guard/hunter ranks or create things. They help the pride run a lot more smoothly and are particularly praised for their work.
Notable Items: Stretchers, Furs (clothing/blankets/etc), Baskets Patrols The Pride has a special patrol. They have no real-set border and often pan out or take different paths to ensure they cover a wide spread of land. Patrols are always done in pairs in case of an injury and all guards and sentries know basic first aid. Most pairs are a Guard and Sentry, but not always. Gardens and Gardening The Garden is especially important to the pride. It is a stretch of land with a rock border and fertile soil that they grow herbs within. Gardeners take special care to learn as much as they can about each plant and will sometimes cross breed them in experimentation to find better herbs and try to create more effective ones. Outposts are often given clippings from basic herbs to plant a new garden at their new locations with instructions on how to care for them. Education & Apprenticeships All members will go through a period of apprenticeship, starting once they hit juvenile or adolescence. Some apprenticeships are shorter than others, however, and some may last into adulthood. In the case of a joining member, they will obtain this rank unless they can prove themselves skillful in that area. Some apprenticeships include a journeyman period where they leave the pride to continue their education. Every apprentice has a mentor.
Patients Patients are not an official part of the pride, but are treated with the same kindness. They are anyone who is sick or injured that do not belong to the pride and won't be officially certed into the pride since this is not a rank. They may stay as visitors after they are better, join the pride, or leave. No one is forced to stay or go.
