Well look at this! A contest-raffle! Yes, I'm borrowing this from Shinos, she knew ahead of time xd

Who for is this contest-raffle? Why, these two!

User Image


Cute, ain't they? And twins! In fact, there's twins on both sides of the family! Ramla, the cubs' mother, has a brother and sister that are twins(And in fact they are the source of the split-color tail hairs going on with these girls!). From Ngoma'mwale, the father, we get... Ahadi's line! Ngoma's father's first cousins have at least two sets of twins, and then there's a couple twins down the line through the bloodlines.

Here's the deal - The girl with the silver eyes is for Pride newbies - You may own 0 members in the Tuait'tekhem! The girl with the green eyes is for everybody to enter for - Unless I already gave you a cub xd

This starts NOW, and it will end June 15 at 9pm EST, even if I'm NOT here! If it's after 9 EST that day, assume this is CLOSED!

*edited in* What is a contest-raffle, you may be wondering. It's pretty much... The contest aspect is naming the cub, picking a future rank, and coming up with an idea of what you'd want to have as the personality. At the end, I take the lists and raffle from the entries. The contest part means that I don't have to pester you for a future rank, and if you win, you have a good idea already of what kind of personality your new pet will have heart The raffle part's just because it's easier for me, since it's summer and that means a hectic schedule with my job, my mother's job, and the fact we have no AC and it's been in the 90 degree range for the last couple days. Not too conducive to reading.

Okay, now that that's all out of the way... I'm going to lay a couple ground rules. *Edit* Remember to read them ALL, and abide them ALL! If you break one specific to the here-and-now of the contest, I'll let you know what needs changing, and when I spot your change, I'll THEN add you to the list at the BOTTOM for that moment I spot it(So if, say, 5 more people enter after you, you'll be the sixth added the moment I notice, and it will all carry on from there).

1. The cubs may not leave, even at adolescence, without you talking to me first! Do not come to me and say "Oh yeah, my cub is running off to this distant pride, bye!", discuss it with me! I've had people do that before, and to be frank... It's rude. I won't stand for it. You have a cub run off without talking to me, I will go to staff and ask to rehome the cub to somebody who actually RESPECTS the rules and requests.
2. There is no cubnapping! This is actually a PRIDAL rule - The cubs stay in the temples until adolescence, during which there is ALWAYS somebody watching them.
3. This one's VERY important - You CANNOT have gotten a litter custom for the month of May! That is what these two both count as, and that's actually why, even though I got them back in the middle of May, this is happening in JUNE.
4. Names must be Egyptian, Swahili, Hebrew, or Arabic, and they CANNOT share a name directly with a god(That part's actually also a pridal rule).
5. No proxies - This is gonna be open two weeks, that's plenty of time to post in for yourself!
6. Pride newbies MAY enter for both, but will only win ONE.

Right, so... You're wondering about the family, yes? Okay smile

User Image


Ngoma'mwale - The father - He came to the Tuait lands from the Motoujamii desert. He's large, not in charge of this family, and he'll pelt any of his children with rocks if they show any signs of liking their own genders. He's not fond of homosexuals, but he puts up with the concept because of Ramla. He gave Ramla a vulture he'd made with feathers, honey, drift wood, and an old skull as a love token.

Ramla - The mother - Born and raised in the Tuait lands. She's the (much) smaller parent, and VERY much in charge of the family. Mom's word is LAW and only usurped by Pharoah's law. Being raised by two males, she's comfortable and at ease with the lifestyle, and would be just as proud of her children no matter if they were hetero or homosexual. She's not sure what to make of the fake vulture, other than it was a damn good application of a loophole.

Khet(Most like dad in looks), Zapalito(Fire tail), & Saul(Ginger) - The brothers of the twins. Watch out for Saul, he's a little brat.

Intombi'nyota & Kartek - The sisters of the twins. Watch out for Kartek, she'll write on you with her tail.

Tiny history lesson:

Ramla has a respect for her birth mother, Madhu-makhi. Why? Because Ramla was raised by two males - Ilhori(Her genetic father) and Sepoko(Her other father), and to get there... Her birth mother played surrogate. So if any of her daughters follow her birth mother's pawprints, she'll be very proud.

Ngoma'mwale grew up in the Traditionalist split of the Motoujamii pride, and as such, he tends to have some old beliefs, especially about gods, and pelts. As such, his favorites are Khet and Zapalito, because of their whtie coats. He IS willing to accept that females can have many of the same roles as males, though, thanks to Ramla.

Zapalito warns any potential sister-winners now, he and his buddy Zanza will prooobably play tug of war with you. With your ears, more specifically. He's not mean. Just energetic. And a boy. If anyone ELSE aside from the family (and Zanza) tries anything though, he'll probably tear them apart.

I've got pets in the pride!
My name: Tara de Draiocht
The cub's name: Nathifa'Kamilah. Egyptain and it means pure perfection.
Future rank: Artisan
Personality:
Nathifa has her head stuck in the clouds most times and enjoys her time creating art with nic-nacs she finds around her home or anything lying around in the temple. She enjoys making things pretty or eye catching. She tends to be like her father in the aspect of "control". Nathifa would rather not waste her time being the alpha to her siblings or dominating others. But unlike her father she believes in the aspects that love is love no matter what gender you are, like her mothers philosophy.

I'm a pride newbie!
My name: YamiBakuraChan
The cub's name: Rehema, Egyptian for Compassionate
Future rank: Guardian
Personality: This young cub has a compassion that knows no bounds. She has a strict loyalty towards her family, friends, and anyone else she holds dear to her heart. She has a love for life and a love of protecting others. It doesn’t matter if it’s a flower or a tiny bug or another feline, she’ll protect it until the time is right, sometimes almost to a fault. Rehema looks up to her parents with high regard and wishes to make them proud of her. She’ll work towards proving herself not only in front of the pride but also herself. Every once and awhile she might lose her way and need someone to kick her back into action.

I'm a pride newbie!

My name: -- ponytales
The cub's name: Sheta'mew, meaning 'secret water' in Egyptian.
Future rank: Artisan
Personality: Sheta likes to draw pictures in the sand with her paws that can only be described as 'abstract'. She is unfortunately extremely lacking in talent and labours away under the impression that she is, ignoring all advice/subtle remarks/scathing critiques to the contrary. She sees beauty in everyone and everything, in a very innocent manner.

My name: -- ponytales
The cub's name: Dewa'senef, meaning 'morning blood' in Egyptian.
Future rank: Guardian
Personality: Dewa likes to fight. Be it an argument or physical disagreement of her own making or one she has overheard, she is more than happy to share her often brutally honest opinion. A bit of a firecracker, she likes to insert her nose into other lion's businesses and genuinely hates being told to sit still.

Assuming that since we can only win one, and the winner will be chosen by raffle, we could make the same entry for both cubs?
I probably won't, don't worry, but I was just wondering.

My name: Chi Honda
The cub's name: Inara'Malak (Arabic Meaning - Heaven sent/enlightened Angel)
Future rank: Hunteress
Personality: This young cub is headstrong and always believes she is right no matter what. She may look sweet on the outside, but she will fight for what she thinks is right no matter what the cost. In the future I foresee her being in charge of a family like her mother, if she can find someone to handle her hard head.

Personality: This cub is a angel, she lives to please and make others happy. When she sees someone smile her soul lights up as bright as the sun. She is the type who will accept and care for someone no matter what. Even if she believes like her dad, that love should be between a male and female.

In theory you could, fu xd That'd really put application to 'two sides of one coin' lol

Himura, I'm afraid those names don't follow the rules. They must be Egyptian, Swahili, Arabic, or Hebrew, not Japanese. When the names change, you'll be added to the lists as the at-that-moment-that-I-update last on the lists. Also, yes, Huntress IS an option heart

I've got pets in the pride!
My name: Wotcher
The cub's name: Jala – Shining, Egyptian origin
Future rank: Scribe
Personality: Jala is a scientist, mmk? She always has a new idea brimming at the edge of her mind, another experiment to perform, and a fresh hypothesis to test. The cub thrives on learning, and is always excited to report her findings to her parents, siblings, and friends. She’ll probably be including her siblings in her experiments – willing or not. In the name of science!
