Appearance & Species

Appearance: There are no pridal restrictions on colors or appearance. However, that does not mean individuals do not have a bias and favor certain colors over others.

Species: This is a lion-only pride with very few exceptions. Non-lions must be brought before the Monarch for judgement so they can stay or not. This is done on a case-by-case basis. See LAWS for more information.
(OOCly both Velveteen Angel and Seaki must OK the joining of a non-lion and a RP with the Monarch must be done.)


Familiars


General Stance: All familiars are welcome, though may run the risk of becoming prey if they are not careful. They must belong to a member, as those who are not will be viewed as food.

---


Religion

Pridal The pride holds no official pride-wide religion. Religion is consider a private matter.
Harem Each harem has the option of having a religious aspect if they want. This however is personal and each harem may have a different religious focus, a different god/goddess their worship or other aspects.


Marriage & Breeding

Harems: Harems are lead by one member, male or female and often the most capable of the mate-group. To become the leader of a harem, they must petition for the right with witnesses. All members of a harem are brought before the leader of the pride to explain why they are strong enough to lead. *This is an assumed RP, unless you wish to RP it out.*
To form a harem, you must post here and wait for approval.

Breeding: Breeding is a personal decision within the harems, however adolescents are discouraged from breeding on a general basis. Flings are also ok within the eyes of the pride, however harem leaders must approve flings and breedings in the pride.
All breedings (rogue or in pride) must be posted here for approval before posting.


Values & Traditions

Surnames:

  • Surnames are a way to keep track of harems and their offspring. Some harems produce a lot of children, so having surnames aids in minimizing confusion.
  • Children have a matronymic or patronymic name - whomever is the harem leader will pass down their name to the children.
  • All mates within a harem take on the harem leader’s harem surname.
  • Surnames of the leader have an extra tack on them to denote them (-ide for female and -id for males)

xxxxxFamily Name Example: Maua (harem leader), Haytham Mauahuios (child; male), Liana Mauakóri (child; female)
xxxxxHarem Name Example: Maua Livádide (harem leader), Ajitabh Livádi (mate); if Ajitabh was the harem leader, his surname would be Livádid


Ágamos Harem: Upon reaching adulthood, children are no longer considered part of their parent’s harem. They are still called by their family name, but are considered part of a Bachelor/Bachelorette Harem until they find or create one to call their own.

In this singles group, they practice roles they would take within their own permanent harem, be they a leader or the mate of the leader. Members who join the pride from the outside and do not have a mate within are also in this harem.


Joining a New Harem: To join a new harem, the member must be first within the Ágamos harem. From there, either the single member can seek a harem or a harem leader may seek a single member to join theirs.
  • Must post a form here


Creating a New Harem: To become the leader of a brand new harem, a member must prove themselves in the ability to be a fair and just harem leader. They must come before the leader with a convincing case as well as members who believe they can become the leader of their own harem.
  • Must post a form here and have completed at least one roleplay within the pride.


Hunting: There are no specific hunters within a pride. Families are expected to take care of their own. In the case of Adol and Adult members within the Ágamos harem, they take care of one another or themselves.

Laws

Non-Lion Laws: Non-lions are generally not allowed within the pride with very few exceptions. The Monarch is involved in integrating non-lions within the pride should they be allowed wthin. All non-lions must have a sponsor that is a lion, no exceptions.

Murder, Assault/Battery and Self-Defense Laws: Hostility among members occasionally occur and sometimes it can end in violence. Any violent act between members of the pride, including any physical harm is marked under this law. All cases and accusations must be tried as a Criminal trial, with very few exceptions.

Trials

Criminal Trial: Crimes committed within the pride are brought before the Monarch and a Law-speaker with a jury of peers.

Civil Trial: Disputes between two members are usually solved among themselves, but sometimes a third party must get involved. In this case a Law-speaker will mediate and decide the outcome of the dispute. This can be anything from dispute over a hunting kill or fairness of a trade.

Punishment

Non-Lion Laws: Should a non-lion enter the pride without knowledge of the Monarch and express permission, the non-lion and whomever they came in for may be banished from the pride. This includes flings that result in hybrids when there is no non-lion present in that particular harem.

Murder, Assault/Battery and Self-Defense Laws: Murder is a serious crime that results in serious punishment. The member may either be banished, killed, or will become a prisoner, depending on the Lawspeaker doling out the punishment. If a death results from self-defense, the member must go to a Constable or Lawspeaker immediately and tell them of the deed or it will be tried as a murder. Attacking a fellow member may result in a stripped rank and marked as a prisoner until they can redeem themselves (harem leaders that commit attack another member outside of self defense or defense of their harem will be stripped of their rank and not allowed to re-obtain it unless under special circumstances)

====Prisoner Information:
Prisoners who were the head of a Harem has their harem placed under the control of the Monarch until their a new leader of their harem can be decide (a new surname is often provided unless the harem decides against it). If a prisoner rises above this status, they may re-try for their rank and status, though their still be some stigma over it. They will forever be watched closely and may need to be watched closely over and will have -tias tacked onto their surname so those who are joining know they have committed a crime. Those who have held the rank prisoner may never lead a harem again.

High Class

Monarch: (1/1) Ruler body of the pride. They lead the pride forward and make most of the choices within the pride, such as who is allowed to begin a harem. The Monarch holds court often to make decisions with select members of the pride.
Heir: (x/1) One of the Monarch's children that are chosen to take the place of the leader. They are normally chosen in adolescence or young adulthood to make sure their leading skills are up to par.

High-Middle Class

Commander: (0/1) The Head of the Soldiers and Guards. They are expected to keep the pride safe by commanding those below them in battle and basic patrol

Guild Master:(0/?) There are guild masters for Merchants and Artisans. They regulate trade within and outside of the pride as well as outside of the pride. They are very important in keeping up quality of the product that comes in and out of the pride. Guild Masters also decide who is to be apprentice in their field and have an eye for young members with good potential.

Oracle: (0/?) Seers of the pride that have started out as monks. They preach the word of the god that have blessed them, for the most part. They are often sought out for advise.

Law Speaker: (0/?) The Law-speaker is charged with knowing all the laws of the prides. They always start out as constables. Smaller crimes are often decided by the Law Speaker and all Law Speakers are elected in court with the Monarch's final say.

Middle Class

Soldier: (0/∞) Soldiers are generally a force to battle against outside dangers, such as other prides encroaching on their territory. When there is no danger, soldiers patrol with the guards.

Guard: (0/∞) Guards generally watch the borders of the pride. They allow in new members and turn away those who seem dangerous. In times of war, some may join the soldiers, but most will protect the children and the rest of the pride while the soldiers do battle.

Merchant: (0/∞) Merchants barter finished products for those raw materials that can be made into items. They control a lot of the goods within the pride. Some may even barter items for food, services, or favors.

Artisan: (0/∞) Artisans make the items that Merchants sell. They take the raw materials that Merchants get from trade and make them into items. In turn, they get more supplies, favors, or food.

Constable: (0/∞) These are the police officers of the pride. They deal with crimes committed within the pride. They do not deal out any punishments,

Monk: (0/∞) Religious members of the pride. Most of the time, these members stay haremless (which can make it popular with the rare hybrid). They practice and preach the religion of the pride and are most often seen telling stories to the youth.

Low-Middle Class

Apprentice: (0/∞) Young members that are just getting their footing in a trade. Many times they follow in the footsteps of their parent harem, or learn from one of their harem mates a new trade. All apprentices are part of the Ágamos Harem, though they keep their surname.

Youth: (0/∞) Cubs of the pride. All cubs carry this rank, regardless of status within the pride.


Low Class

Thief: (0/∞) Though not particularly high in class, theives can be an important part of the pride. Those who go outside to steal are charged with bringing back important information and items from other prides and packs (especially items that the artisans in the pride cannot make). (note: not all thieves work for the monarch and may have different ideals or ventures in mind).

Grunt: (0/∞) Grunts often do more odd-jobs around the pride - often more labor intensive than other things. They can be tasked with building dens or removing trees/stumps, to fetching water for a mother that cannot move from her spot. Basically a jack of all trades.

Spies: (0/∞) These members tend to leave the pride often, seeing what other prides are doing and making sure war is not brewing. Those who do not make sure no uprisings or riots start within the pride. They report back to the monarch.(note: not all spies work for the monarch and may have different ideals or ventures in mind).

Classless

Prisoner: (0/x) A member of the pride that has committed a heinous crime. They are stripped of their title, surname, and harem (if they are in one). SEE LAWS for more details.

Captive: (0/x) An outside member that was captured during a war-time crisis. These members may work their way into the pride if they prove their loyalty. They are normally sponsored by a harem with at least one guard/soldier/constable to watch their progress. If the convict was a leader/important member of the enemy pride, they are sponsored by the Monarch's Harem.
