Welcome to Gaia! ::

The Family

The Father: (owned by Lorne):Kaym'itan is best described as being steady, and silent. It is not that he prefers to be alone, in fact quiet the opposite. He enjoys village life, and often can be found helping with the cubs, or tending a meal. He rarely speaks more then he has to however. He has found that others waste more time and effort on false pleasantries or overtures then they must. Kaym'itan will not lie to you, not even the little polite ones. People have become cautious of asking his opinion, though now even his silence on certain matters speaks as loudly as any words. He is not impressed by bravo or speeches, for him it is action that tells of the others heart. Because of his coloring, most of his patrols are at night, and Kaym'itan serves the Iknimayan and Eywa with a proud heart, watchful eye, and the skill of an older male. Kaym'tan suffered as much as any of the People in the wars, and knows these dark times will pass and he tries to take comfort in Eywa's balance. Since the wars, he had been a brooding, worn male, and not even the warmth and comfort of village life had been able to pull him away from the dark moods that had befallen him. The war ravaged his people and his soul, until Eywa sent his atokirina in Rou, and healed his heart.












The Mother: (owned by KasiLoki):Born in the roguelands, Ru had only heard stories of the Na’vi pride from her mother. As a cub, she always wanted to find the pride, but it was dismissed by her mother. Her dreams of becoming one of the jungle lions was ceased until she had come across lions that lived in the same pride that was supposedly only a story.

Ru is a sweet, quiet lioness, however she has some fight to her if threatened. She was attacked near the borders of the lands by a rogue, making her very distrustful of lions that bare the color red.

Hey! Hey! Listen!

This is the fourth born cub of Kaym'itan and Rukopa-eupe. She is the second female cub to be born of the litter.



Prompt:

You notice that you and your brother are the only two out of the litter that appear to have green on you. None of your siblings have that color on them, nor does your mother or father. Do you believe you and your darker brother are not a part of the family because you look too different? or are you glad you have some variation? Or something else entirely.

What are your thoughts?

Tell Me A Fable
Name: Hì'i Tse'a Tute
Meaning: “Small See Person”, as in small watcher
Adult Rank: Crafter

Personality: Hì'i Tse'a Tute is a watcher. He is quiet and calm, very seldom ruffled by anything that is happening around him. He does however like to be close to others and near where the action is. He will lurk and watch everyone rather than going into the center of attention. He is a curious cub, but is just as happy to watch his siblings and the others try something rather than do so himself. Either way he gets to see the results and learn from the mistakes.
Hì'i Tse'a Tute can be a little creepy at times for his intense gaze and relatively blank expression as he watches. His teal eyes seem to watch everything and see beyond the obvious into hidden places. He can look straight at another and seem to be looking through them, yet he will never miss a thing that is happening. This odd quality is put to use in his creativity, as he liked to try to make things.
From a young age he will be trying to “paint” or “draw” what he sees either with berries on a tree trunk or with a stick in the dirt. He will like making things that either display what he sees or capture the personality of those he watches. As he goes he will get better at doing more practical crafts such as items for others, but he is going to often adorn them with extra details and pretty things.

Prompt Response Hì'i Tse'a Tute crept up into a higher vantage point, watching those below him. He was not supposed to be climbing so high, but for him, it was important to see everything. He had seen one of the others come up here earlier and this little branch had supported their bigger form, so this was more than safe for him. With the cluster of leaves on the end of it, he could crouch down and stay hidden, which was more than the juve had managed earlier. The babysitters may have found the other cub and made him come down, but nobody would see Hì'i in the first place.

Nestled in his hiding place on the small branch, Hì'i Tse'a Tute observed all the happenings in the den. He painted a picture in his mind of all that was going on. There were two cubs having a tug-of-war battle with a piece of vine. He noted how they seemed to be arguing around it about who was stronger. Ah a test of strength, those two were both of a slightly smaller size, so likely trying to prove to themselves that they were not the ‘weakest’. The cub did not quite understand why it was this way, but he made note of the actions and filed them away for later.

Near the tug-of-war, he saw a few cubs, mostly his own siblings trying to play some kind of a game. They had asked him to join but he had declined to come up here. Of course he did not regret it in the least. They were having fun, but he was getting to see everything. Them, the others, the baby sisters, it was all so easy to watch from this perch. There was so much he could capture later, draw it in the dirt and maybe he could sneak some berries and a twig to paint it on one of the den walls!

Hì'i Tse'a Tute made sure no one was watching and then slipped down from the branch. He crept off to find a stick and started outlining what he had seen in the dirt. It took a long while to complete, but it was pretty good considering his young age and how the stick was a bit on the large size for him to hold. Unfortunately there were no berries he could find to paint it on a wall, but at least his masterpiece was on the floor where the others were not likely to mess it up until he could show someone later.

Future Plot ideas: Plan to play him in the pride, maybe have him travel about at some point looking for crafting supplies maybe have him meet a few people outside the pride, but he will not be leaving the pride membership.

Tell Me A Fable
Name: Kifkey'efu
Meaning: To sense or feel the ground or earth. A connection to the earth and living things.
Adult Rank: Healer/Medicine Man (Priest, more focused on healing then the others)

Personality: Key is much like his mother, maybe not in looks but definatly in heart. He is a gentle soul and loves to take care of people, always looking out and watching over his younger siblings. He will always be a bit more soft spoken and has none of his fathers confidence for battle, rather the opposite. Growing up he always felt connected to Eywa not just through Hometree or The Tree of Voices or Souls, but through the very land itself. Even as a cub Key is able to feel the flow of life that drives everything in the world. When he told his siblings and mother about this feeling some of them thought it must be due to his green coloring, so close to some of the plants in the jungle. As if Eywa gave him a special gift. As he grows he will begin to understand this connection with the earth and use it to find special plants that will aid him in his healing. Taking special rites of ceremony that he would give an animal from the hunt when removing a plant to be used to heal.

Prompt Response
kifkey'efu walked alone through the jungle, comfortable with where he was going so he had no fear of anything hurting him on his journey today. making his way through the underbrush of the forest floor, his darker coloring making it easy for him to blend into the scenery. He was out looking for a specific plant today, in hopes of bringing it back to Hometree where he had a couple friends with some bad bruises from training. Training that apparently had something to do with falling out of trees on purpose. As he contemplated his friends injuries he sighed in relief, his chosen path of life led him to heal and it didn't require him to perform stunts. Well most of the time anyway, some plants did grow in places not exactly lion friendly.

He reached the gully where the plant he was looking for was going to be found, the fwäkìwll or also known as the Mantis Orchid. The Mantis Orchid would was one of those plants that didn't grow in lion friendly conditions. He would be crossing the gully and then climbing an very steep cliff to reach the root (growing out of the cliff) of a tree ontop of the cliff which the Orchid grew on. Not an easy task to say the least. The trek across the gully was easy and peaceful, giving Key the opportunity to reflect on his life. He knew his father was unhappy with his choice in becoming a healer, a concept to the Na'vi that was new. However the Spiritual Leader had sensed a great presence of Eywa in him and was confident in his path as a healer. So at the end of the day his father couldn't argue about it anymore. Luckily his mother was thrilled, if it was up to her all her cubs would be in non-warrior proffessions.

Key had reached the face of the cliff and contemplated the best way up to the Mantis Orchid. "Hmmm well I guess I'll make it up as I go along." he muttered to himself as he launched himself up the cliff. Jumping from rock to rock he found himself on a ledge that thankfully led almost directly to the plant. He carefully treaded up the ledge until he was withing range of the plant. Using his claws he carefulls scraped off the dirt from part of the roots and unwound them from the tree root on the other end. Setting the plant carefully in his sack he muttered a quick rite, "I see you, my sister, and thank you. Your spirit belongs to Ewya but your body remains so that I may take it to nourish the Na'vi people."
Carefully Key made his way down and back into the gully, satisfied with how his mission went. Now all he had to do was take this back to HomeTree and make it into the salve that would treat his friend bruises.


Future Plot ideas:
Cub
Differences: Key and his sibling learn what it means to be individuals and still connected within Eywa.

His Path: Kifkey'efu discovers his connection to the earth and why he always felt such a strong connection to Eywa.

Adolecent

Defining the Trade: Trying to figure out exactly how to go about becoming a healer and what he needs to know. (Id like to apprentice him outside the pride to get knowledge to bring back to his people)

Adult

Battle Scars: Key treats some of his fellow Na'vi and learn about the harshness of battle. (hopefully told via multiple pride members, telling detailed stories of thier personal battles and him begining to understand life as a warrior) As he begins to understand this part of life, things with his father should become less tense.

Hello My Sister: kifkey'efu meets a rouge while out gathering supplies, he markings are strikingly similar to the Na'vi and he becomes intrigued. However she dosen't know anything about the Na'vi or the almost magical jungle they live in. He shows her his world.(Meets his mate)

I'm My Own Mates Midwife!: The comical birth of his mates and his cubs. Due to the fact that he is really the only healer and hence midwife, he delivers his own cubs. Should spur comical results

Following in Footsteps: (one of his own cubs or another youth) Someone wants to take up being his apprentice!

Clerm needs to get in that wedding, doesn't she? Kaym'll smack her otherwise.

Hey! Hey! Listen!

Name: Siryanin
Meaning: Shining Star
Adult Rank: Warrior (Or huntress if warrior is unavailable)

Personality:
Siryanin is a sweet and intelligent lioness who does everything in her power to keep her family and friends safe. As a cub she’s very curious, always scampering off to find a new playground or site to show her friends an siblings. She doesn’t necessarily want to scare her parents but sometimes it can’t be helped. As she grows into adulthood she finds her place in protecting others. She extends this protection further into the pride regardless of social standing or personality. Siryanin tries her hardest not to judge, but if you make her angry she’ll have a harder time not doing so. She’ll forgive you, but she’ll never forget. Tactics are her strong suit which stems from her basic intelligence. As such she’s also very close to their mother goddess Ewya. Sometimes she’ll just close her eyes and talk to her, finding comfort in knowing she and her pride is being looked after.

Prompt Response
The color green, its such a pretty color. It represents the trees that give us cover and protection, the grass we use to sleep on sometimes and even is the color of our goddess Ewya. Well, that’s what I see Ewya being represented by. I’m not so sure about the others though. Either way, I love the color green; it’s as soothing as it is powerful. Yeah, my brother and I are the only two with such a color mixed into our fur but seriously, I don’t mind. I know my parents love me. I know my siblings love me, or at least I would hope they do. I even know my pride loves me. We may all look different to each other but we all share the same bond. It’s not necessarily of blood either. It’s the bond we all share back to our mother. Honestly that’s the greatest gift of all we could ever hope for. Without that bond we wouldn’t be the Na’vi. We wouldn’t be Ewya’s chosen. So, just because I have green and my siblings and my parents don’t doesn’t mean anything. They’re my life and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Future Plot ideas:
I’m honestly up or anything and everything under the sun. I love rping and plotting very much and would definitely be keeping her within the pride. I see Siryanin going through a stage where she wants to see the land, learn the ways of Ewya and become further one with their goddess. She might go off for a time to learn such ways but will most certainly return. She might be of the warrior and/or huntress class but she’s quite spiritual too. For a time I’d also like to see her possibly lose her way for a bit, question her spiritual resolve after something bad happens to a family member, friend, or just a pride member. She’ll need to find herself again and maybe this would be the introduction to her future mate. I also have the idea of her butting heads with a local warrior or hunter, either becoming her future best friend or mate as well. These are only a few of the ideas I have in my head at the moment.
