D a i m y n
Name: Daimyn Name Significance: none Gender: Male Age: Adult Birthdate: unknown Birthplace: Pridelands Species: Lion
Pride: Pridelands Rank: Hunter Mother: ?? Father: ?? Siblings: Tai, several others Mate: Ausi'Juu Offspring: Choa, Jing'Fei, Ai'Kunliu, No, Xu Wu Hui, x, x, x, x, x, x, MASSIVE LIST OF LIONS HERE Other: Nukta, step-son; Mosi and Jini, step-grandcubs, another massive list I'm not even gunna try and get into
The following history was compiled and written by Tahja Estes, since I was out of town when the custom slots opened XD. Months before we thought of bringing these two characters into the SoA world, they were our OCs in various different forms and universes, and most of this particular story has been roleplayed out on AIM.
Ausi'Juu's (Daimyn's mate) father was originally of the "Ushirkino Watembezaji" pride [Unity Walkers]. When the Pride suffered from the Great Divide, Ausi's father, one of the pride's more ambitious and arrogant Mbingu'hunters, was among the large group of lions that left.
The newly-found vagabond's travels brought him to the land of the Mistweavers, where he met and fell in love with one of the lionesses, a female huntress, Kitani. He sired two female offspring with her before the drought hit the lands, and shortly after the children were old enough to eat solid food the parents decided to find new territory to call their own. Kanzai, the male, was filled with great expectations for his daughters and mate, certain that she'd someday produce a male heir to take the throne in his stead. Arrogant indeed...
Her father formed a traditional Pride far, far from the Mistweaver territory, at the base of a mountain located somewhere far West where the lands bordered the sea and the mountains on either side. Blissfully unaware of the pride within the mountains, they raised their children and began selectively taking in rogue after rogue-- some even former Unity Walkers. Their pride grew, and the two girls had someplace safe to grow.
Ausi took a mate in the early months of middle-age adulthood, it would be almost one full year after the fact that Ausi became pregnant. The two were in route on a bit of a trip away from the pride at the time. They had a litter of two boys (Mosi, Nukta's older brother, and Nukta. (Names mean First and Second)), but after Mosi was killed by a rogue Hyena, and Nukta disappeared, Ausi and her mate returned to the pride. Ausi's mate was later killed while trying to stand up for the pride against the tyrrant controlling them (See Daimyn's history below. :3).
---------------------------------------------------------------
Daimyn's father also ran something of a "Traditional" Pride, but his father was a tyrrant. ((We took these characters from human OC's of ours XD and we took their backstory from a Mafia-based RP we've been doing on aim between the original version of these characters.))
Daimyn's father had a very "godfather"-ish role over three prides-- Ausi's pride, which lay to the West, a pride that lay directly at the base of the mountain, and a pride to the East. The surrounding prides would often have to give "gifts" and offerings to prevent their pride's from being destroyed and/or terrorized. These gifts were usually in the form of lionesses, and food.
Daimyn was power hungry. He got that from his b*****d of a sire.
His father sired him in one of his near endless travels throughout the continent. He was in his prime, and as such looking for lionesses to produce as many heirs as possible in hopes of weeding out the strongest. His travels one day brought him to the freelands where he came across an unfortunate rogue Lioness. After forcing himself on her, and being sure to mark her, he went on his way once more to find others. Daimyn has countless siblings, but none are littermates.
Back to Daimyn's mother, however: Broken and seeking refuge, the rogue found herself stumbling into Pridelander territory by the end of her pregnancy. Her stay with the pride was cut short, however. A blessing in disquise, one could say. Daimyn's father had come back for her, estimating how long it would take for her to deliver his children. They left just before the pride began seeing signs of the plague.
Daimyn's mother didn't survive the journey, nor did two of his siblings. One of them fell ill with their mother, and it's unknown what became of it. In the end they arrived at their new home with only two cubs [Daimyn and Tai], after his father carelessly lost another [older sister] to a hungry crocodile.
Life goes on, however, and as Daimyn grew so did his hatred and jealousy towards his father. He began plotting to have his father killed so he could take over as king. His father found out about the plans and threw him out along with his lackies/cohorts.
The group of outcast male lions made one final round, gathering up "offerings" from the Prides that did not realize that Daimyn no longer held any power over them.
When they came to Ausi's pride, last, Ausi stepped forward to take the place of another lioness (she wouldn't have lasted two days D: ). She felt it was her duty as a "Princess" to look after the other lionesses.
They traveled for a few days before Daimyn began plotting. He wanted to chase off the males and keep all the lionesses for himself. Ausi learned of this plan and began devising an escape.
At the same time resentment began to grow within one of the other females towards Ausi for the way that she acted so "High and mighty, calm and regal". When Ausi proposed an escape plan the lionesses turned against her and ratted both she and Daimyn out. The two were then outcast from the group and left to fend on their own while the others went on their own way.
Things were not well between the rogue pair, Daimyn took out his anger on Ausi almost constantly, he got more angry when she wouldn't be cowed and finally he decided that to break her he would force himself on her. It wasn't until after he'd done this that she finally seemed to do just that, and he began to realize just how much like the parental figure he loathed he had become. He tried to leave her for her own good but she argued that she couldn't raise a litter of cubs on her own (oh man XD that was funny, she really let him have it!), so he decided to stay. They traveled together for a while longer, ironically enough coming back full circle to the Mistweaver lands. Ausi'Juu first caught wiff of Nukta's scent there, and the two have since then traveled far and wide following the ghost trail to the heart of the Pridelands, where they now make home after mother and son were reunited.

U k a l i
Name: Ukali Name Significance: "Strength" in Swahili, though "ukali" has a multitude of meanings. Gender: Male Age: Adult Birthdate: A loooong time ago Birthplace: N/A Species: Lion God Domain: Strength
Pride: N/A Rank: N/A Mother: unspecified Father: unspecified Siblings: Brother, unnamed Mate: none (previously Ukilia, Goddess of Sacrifice) Offspring: Kiva, Goddess of Unity; Shiva, Goddess of Seperation; _____, Goddess of Loyalty Other:
Powers: Like all gods, Ukali has the power of flight and a minor gift of illusion.
Ukali's main (and most obvious) power is that of extreme physical force. He can also "boost" the strength of another, or of a small group, though that "lended" strength is only a small fraction of his own. His gorget (neck armor) and armbands act as bracers to limit his strength -- otherwise he'd end up destroying things without meaning to. Also, if he exerts himself too far beyond what a normal lion would be able to achieve, it takes a lot out of him, and he must rest for a time.
His second ability is to crease another's willpower and fortitude, basically being more able to confront fear, pain, danger, uncertainty, intimidation, that sort of thing. Ukali uses this skill on more of a personal level, to help out those in need, friends, et cetera.
History: to be filled in soon, when I'm not half-dead
