Reincarnation


OOC Limitations and Requirements:
• These are mortal-to-mortal reincarnations.
• No more than one reincarnation, per player, per year.
• Player must have owned the character they wish to reincarnate.
• The character the player wishes to have reincarnated needs a history of 10 breeding-length RPs OR involvement in a shop or pride meta that led to their death.*
• Characters with difficult/incendiary histories may be denied reincarnation, or may have restrictions put upon them.

Quote:
*Exceptions:
• Because SoA is such an old shop, and there are a fair number of characters who passed before this change to the lore, each player may bring back one previously deceased character (must have died prior to 2/24/2019) for 'free,' with no requirements aside from ownership. Additionally, each player may reincarnate one previously deceased character with halved requirements (5 breeding-length RPs).
• These exceptions still count towards the one-per-year rule.
• Voluntarily offing a character in a personal plot or during a metaplot where it is optional but still your choice does not qualify as an exception. This exception only applies to characters who were given out as plot items and their deaths dictated.



Appearance:
• There are no species or gender limitations, anyone can come back as anything.
• Characters should not look recognizable across reincarnations, and may retain only ONE physical trait: eye color, a small marking, etc.
• This physical trait may not be one that is exclusive to the family they were originally born into (i.e. Masuka's 'curse' mark) unless they are being born back into that family.
• A character cannot be reincarnated as a cosplay, even if they were previously a cosplay.

Obtainment:
• Reincarnations must begin at cub/pup/baby stage.
• Reincarnations must be obtained as customs or breeding customs.
• If a reincarnation is obtained via breeding custom, the owners of both parents MUST approve it.
• If a reincarnation obtained via breeding custom is a character who previously wronged or killed an ancestor of that family, the player of the character who was wronged or killed will also need to grant permission.
• At this point in time, new characters cannot be written as reincarnations: this mechanic is only open to characters who have been played and have passed away.

IC Limitations:
• A reincarnated character may NOT have the same name, or a variation of it.
• Except in shop meta circumstances, reincarnated characters will not remember their previous lives, even in dreams or even if they are seers.
• Only a handful of characters exist in the shop that would recognize a character as reincarnated (Mkodi, Death, Souls, Rebirth, Nchekwube of the N'ezi-ozu); seers and most gods will not be able to tell.
• Please do not make requests to the players of the above-listed characters to have them reveal your character's history, as they will not do so; the most they can reveal is that the character is a rebirth, with no details whatsoever.
• A character may be drawn to or repulsed by certain things, people, or places, but they will be unaware as to why (they may fall in love with the reincarnation person they had loved in a previous life, be afraid of water if they drowned, etc.); they should not, however, feel drawn to their family nor have a reaction to hearing their previous name (this block is in place to prevent them from learning who they were); the most feeling they should ever get about something or someone is very vague deja vu/heebie jeebies.
• Reincarnations have been made a possibility so that characters have a chance at a new start for a new life, which is why we are being so strict about them not being able to discover who they were. This mechanic has not been introduced just so they can be exactly the same person and do all the same things, to fuel a ton of angst or open old wounds, to restart or take over their old pride, etc.

The Process:
• You must fill out the form below and wait for approval. Keep in mind that some characters, as stated above, may be denied at the shop's discretion, or you may be required to make changes.
• You may only have one form active at a time. If you have multiple characters you're interested in reincarnating, you'll have to prioritize.
• 'One per year' applies to calendar year, so you could have a character reincarnated in December of 2019, then another in January of 2020...but then nothing again until 2021, and so on.
• The form must be filled out in its entirety: no TBDs or lack of visual reference. Plan ahead, have everything ironed out before you post.

SoA's Original Name: Tyfu

SoA's Original Image(s): Uncert

SoA's New Name: Dyrke (Danish)

Reference Image for Reincarnated Form: You made me draw. Also new markings.

Summary of Original History+Personality:

Tyfu was a strangely twisted and selfish lioness who loved to inflict pain and despair onto others. She was one of Shangyue's staunchest supporters throughout his coup and reign of terror. She was obsesed with her King as well, go so far as to insist on bearing his first litter of children, regardless of their legitimacy or lack thereof. This was something she did purely to satisfy her own desire for recognition.

She was the most visible of Shangyue's supporters, terrorizing the pride with his full permission. She was happy to maim, insult, and kill, but these tendencies betrayed her and saw her taken down by Orion, a lion whose compliance she was tasked with ensuring. She was only mourned by her own children, and their quest for revenge saw her only daughter die as well. Her legacy is one of blood, pain, hatred and dissatisfaction.

SoA's Original Image(s): Adia
SoA's New Name: Mitchka
Reference Image for Reincarnated Form: Based off a blue merle Shetland Sheepdog, with dark brown eyes.
Summary of Original History+Personality: Raised herself, had a mate who was her childhood friend, one pup got taken as a slave by the Mava'bunda, mate left, ended up alone, died despite having just the one litter. Was very sad and lonely in the end. She was sweet, loving, and family-oriented. She did try to form a pack at one point.

Quote:

Hey! Super-excited to see Adia here, but for reincarnations, you do need a full concept/reference as opposed to going CC. And while you can stick to natural/neutral color schemes, she wouldn't be able to have exactly the same one. Basically, she gets to keep her eye color or a minor marking (which I understand is harder when she's just splotches, being an old school wild dog XD).

The ref doesn't have to be really fancy or polished, it can even be hand-drawn, we just need a solid idea of what you do want her to look like. heart (With something as personal and limited as reincarnations, we just feel it's safer not to do CC appearances, that way you don't end up with something you may not be satisfied with.)

SoA's Original Name: Ishara
SoA's Original Image(s): Pre-conversion
SoA's New Name: Eyu (Chinese word meaning "Crocodile" )
Reference Image for Reincarnated Form: I now realize a white tail was a bad idea, please pretend that's dark teal like the spots instead (Also I hope her mask marking is small enough, if not I don't mind remaking and picking another!)
Summary of Original History+Personality: A kind lioness, Ishara was initially born to a slightly-extensive family. After she struck out as a rogue, she met Hidalgo and started one of the single largest families to grace the continent. After they parted ways, she had a few other litters, many continuing the expansive family, with Ishara remaining the kind lioness she'd always been the whole time. Her end came, despite the gentle paw she'd raised all of her children with, in the form of her first-born son, Toshiro.
