Cubbie Contest!

Win a Seer from the God of WhoresLeadership and his mortal mate, Kipofu. <3

This Ends May 7th
PostPosted: Mon Apr 23, 2012 11:46 am


De Family! Read, learn. This is the important.

Like Tumblr.

FAMILY IMAGE ONCE EVERYONE GETS THEIR FUZZY BUTTS HERE.

Terra. >>

Father: Primitus, God of WhoresLeadership

Primitus has suffered greatly this incarnation, and Kipofu's longstanding friendship has barely begun to tend his broken heart. Quiet and calm, Primitus will try instilling goodness and kindness in all of his children.

Mother: Kipofu

Blind since birth, Kipofu is and was a Diplomat, making her kind, polite, and well mannered. A former Demon-Hunter of Hunter/Demon descent, Kipofu herself has supported Primitus a long time and helped pull the male out of a deep depression. These days she is learning the role of 'mother' with her broken, but devoted mate.

Brother: Terra
The Eldest brother named for his similiarities to the world, Terra is very calm and serious, possessing capacities to lead if his vanity weren't so important. He's very leery of non-god offspring and often finds them a bit perplexing. He usually keeps his visions to himself and doesn't often like to play or roughhouse, grooming his mane more than not. Even though he's a little flamboyant he will mind his siblings protectively and often comes to bail them out, though he will then scold them for the trouble. If he does anything of his own volition, he is bored.

Brother: Akuseru

Akaseru is the epitome of boyhood. Eager, exciteable, and a little fanboyish, he loves to bounce around, giggling and laughing. He usually sees others right before they run into things or trip and gets in trouble for it often, when his speed helps him out. He also tends to giggle at his brother Terra, over things, which Terra tends to get grouchy over. Akaseru is the second born brother.

Brother: Shumusi
The Last brother and no less a love. More info possibly soon.

Sister: Midori

The firstborn daughter, Midori was born blind like her mother and never saw the world around her. Because she is blind she is often self concious of making a mistake, but her visions more than compensate, leaving her often lost in them, and sometimes confusing visions for true eyesight. Due to her lack of vision also she is often near a sibling at all times and cannot differenciate species, nor does she want to. She does enjoy a good mystery tale, however.

Rules!

1. No begging

2. No whinging. Seriously guys Nova will KICK SOME a**. If anyone's allowed to do so it's her.

3. Be a good sportsman. We'd like to see some nice folks.

4. Oh god please, RP with us. We love this family. We will end you if you don't do this. Really.

5. The cubs, eventually, may go with the family, which will eventually join the Kitwana, or stay in the Matembezi. Being a Rogue is not an option. The Na'Vi is not an option. No plot can convince us of Rogue or Na'vi. While we understand plot happens, we'd like to see things discussed with us otherwise. Running away bawwwwing because you don't like something is not an option.

6. Please, evil cubs need a good reason to be evil. Not even Terra's evil. We'll probably lean towards cubs that fit the family dynamic than not but YOU NEVER KNOW.

7. ????

8. Profit!

Prompts


These are your prompts. Enjoy them! :>

1. Terra's being a snobby jerk again and he seems to be in an especially bad mood with Akuseru picking on him again about some girl. He's now decided to take it out on you while you were doing your own thing. What do you do and how do you escape the Wrath of Terra?!

2. Akuseru has decided to drag you into an adventure you shouldn't be on. You cannot escape. Discuss.

3. Shumusi just brought you a hare to share that he caught. You know your father tends to have bunnies as pets, but you've never had hare to eat before. Shumusi doesn't seem aware. How do you breach this topic with your brother? Do you eat the hare, or do you not? What do?!

4. Midori has been blind since you were born and today you and she wander further than usual. Because of her seer power she can't tell visions from true eyesight and now she's getting further and further away, but there's bigger creatures in the area! What do you do?!

5. Write your own prompt here. You may use any sibling or her parents! :> Just entertain us.

PostPosted: Mon Apr 23, 2012 12:47 pm


Your Name: Ileatea
SoA Name: Moshin
Name Language and Meaning: Japanese for Blind Faith
Personality: Moshin is quiet and calm as long as she is around those that she knows. When she is left by herself of if she ever wanders to far from her family she tends to panic doing everything she can to try and get back to where her family is. Her vision’s happen sporadically but unlike her sister she can not see anything in her vision’s so she has never seen any sort of glimpse of the world around her. When around her family she is the quiet cub staying near her sibling's and only speaking when she has something she absolutely has to. She trust's her family to help and take care of her as best as they can and she does her best to help as much as she can as she try's to use her other senses to overcome her blindness.
Is She Blind?: Yes
Extra notes?: I just have a few basic plot idea's:
1: She manages to wander off and falls into a panic before one of her sibling's manage to find her.
2: She goes with her family to the Kitwana.
Prompt Chosen: 2. Akuseru has decided to drag you into an adventure you shouldn't be on. You cannot escape. Discuss
Prompt Reply: Moshin followed after her rather rambunctious brother hearing his paw's hitting the ground with enough noise for her to follow their steps. The small cub was listenign intenetly around her the wind moving through the grasses and the area around her letting her know where thing's were in relation to her making it a bit less dangerous for here but that didn't stop her from being slow and incredibly careful as she went.
“Moshin Hurry up! Your lagging behind!” Akuseru called to her as she continued to walk.Speeding up though caused her to make small mistakes tripping and stumbling over root's and branches that were in her path. Eventually she just stopped falling to the ground after tripping and letting out a small cry to her brother. “Akuseru your going to fast.. Please come back!”

Your Name: Redbud-Tree
SoA Name: Kohana
Name Language and Meaning: Little Flower (Japanese)
Personality: Kohana is a cub that is somewhat disconnected from reality. This isn't to say that she is unobservant of her surroundings, or that she is unintelligent. Rather, she simply (mistakenly) believes that her visions tell her everything there is to know about the world, even though they are often more symbolic than literal in nature. This is something she might learn to overcome as she grows and learns more about the real world, or it might not.

Whatever the case, Kohana's approach to life is a happy one. With little knowledge of the visual world outside of her visions, she is nonetheless a cheerful cub who greatly enjoys exploring the world around her, often playing guessing games with herself to try and identify an object that she has never and will never see. Kohana also enjoys music, and can often be found making up little songs, mostly relating either to her visions or to things she think she knows a lot about.
Is She Blind?: Yes.
Extra notes?: Kohana's seer ability most resembles that of her older sister, Midori. Due to the frequency of her visions and how she 'sees' things during them, she suffers from a rather inaccurate and dangerous view of the world. This disconnect can potentially cause her a great deal of trouble, especially as a small cub when she is prone to literally interpreting her visions. For example, if a stranger approaches and she can attribute his voice to a diving eagle she envisioned, she will believe him to be a bird despite all other sensory-provided information until she is persuaded of his true species.

Also due to the frequency of her visions, Kohana will find it a bit difficult to take care of herself as she grows, though she is unaware of her difficulties and would prefer to be treated like an entirely unaffected lioness. This could be a potential challenge for her should she grow resentful of her family and attempt to strike off on her own.
Prompt Chosen: 2.
Prompt Reply: "Brother, where are we going? If it's near the river, we need to be careful of the crocodiles. They're compulsive liars, you know." Finished dispensing her wisdom for the day, Kohana happily trotted after her brother, attempting to follow the sound of his pawsteps. It wasn't difficult - Akuseru's energetic bouncing made him easy to follow, even as Kohana began to hum a little tune under her breath. My, it was nice today, and there weren't any monsters to be worried about - the sun was shining warm on her fur, the grass tickled her paws in the nicest way, and... why was she Seeing Akuseru getting bitten by a bush?

Bushes couldn't bite things, could they? Worried now, she picked up speed a little and attempted to nudge her brother lightly with her head, hoping to steer him into a different path than the one with the lion-eeating bush. "Akuseru, Akuseru, be careful please! You need to avoid the shrubbery, brother. Keep away from the bushes, the shrubbery wants to eat you!"

She ignored his complaints and even the paw swatting her upside the head, but it was only when she felt him begin to slide away from her that Kohana stopped an backed up, tilting her head to try and listen. There was a series of sounds that made her think of someone falling down a loud shout of pain. "Akuseru? Akuseru, what happened?!" She placed a paw forward, but her paw touched only air, and Kohana stepped back with a yelp.

"Akuseru?!?"

There was an indignant yowl from somewhere below her.

"Aaaaagh! Kohana, you pushed me into a thorn bush!"

...Oh. So that was what her vision meant.

Oops.

Your Name: xKOVAKtheWOLFx
SoA Name: Vipofu
Name Language and Meaning: Blind in Swahili
Personality: She's self conscious of the world around her due to the disability of sight that she contains. She's shy and afraid of strangers which could jus be because she is half unaware of who's even around her. With her family, she can be a wild lioness, always wanting the center of attention. She does however, have a close bond with Akesuru, calling him "her eyes".
Is She Blind?: Yes
Extra notes?: Akuseru HAS to be her best friend. xD
Prompt Chosen: 2 - Akuseru has decided to drag you into an adventure you shouldn't be on. You cannot escape. Discuss.
Prompt Reply:
She didn't mind it at all. He was her eyes after all. The only thing was that it would require wandering from the family, a thing that the cubs knew that it wasn't safe to do. Then again, cubs would always be wandering from their parents every now and then. They would return home, wouldn't they? Of course!

Up ahead, she could hear her brother giving her warnings and things that were up ahead. Oh, how she wanted to know what a tree actually looked like. Orr even how she herself did! Was she what father would call ugly?

Her mind was running wild as she felt herself reach up to him. The fresh breath from his mouth could let her tell just where they were. A grassland. She felt the sun's rays on her back when suddenly, she "saw" a dark shadow approach her. Before she could give a sign of warning, Akuseru landed on her back. He was heavy! "Hey! Get off me!" she screamt giving a quick shove.

In the background, Vipofu heard a tremedous sound approaching. The ground was shaking. She could feel fear from her brother. "Akuseru? What's going on?" she whispered.

"Vipofu! No matter what! Run to the rocks near the lake!" her brother screamt with fear. "The rhinos are coming! There's a stampede!"

Your Name:
-_Wish of the Goddess_-
SoA Name:
Sabariel
Name Language and Meaning:
"Mine" - Elvish
Personality:
Quiet and serious, with calm golden eyes, the girl seems so strangely focused. A lot of her time is spent in her own den with her family. She's not sure what to think about other lions, and really only is willing to talk to her family. She loves taking long walks, and standing beside those select few she cares for. She is abrasive, and blunt, unafraid to continually say JUST what she thinks. Those eyes watch you with this piercing nature, that suggests she knows what you're hiding, and the fact that she doesn't speak to you……It can be quite unnerving. But once one gets to know Sabariel, she can be sweet and kind, bright and delighted to speak, and play with the people she knows. She's actually quite bright and eager to debate and just generally gab. Secretly? She enjoys playing and wants to have more female friends…but……
Is She Blind?:
Yes
Extra notes?:
-Her visions, as she gets older, will be come more and more erratic, causing her problems with people. She won't be able to make very good connections, but at the same time, she's going to find herself very connected to her family.
-Her temper will get shortr as well, mostly due to the problems with the visions, though her want for companionship will not change.
Prompt Chosen:
2
Akuseru has decided to drag you into an adventure you shouldn't be on. You cannot escape. Discuss.
Prompt Reply:
Adventure was not something that Sabariel was generally one to agree to, especially not with her brother. She'd somehow been unable to escape as he dragged her off, the blinded Seer finding herself using her claw tips to guide her paws. It was the only way for her to diret herself, and Akuseru always seemed to forget that. It was nothing that she couldn't HANDLE of course...but...she had to keep herself moving. Had to let her paws carry herself onwards and outwards, trying to listen to her sibling's steps. There...location found...Now how to proceed. She was half-way towards where she heard him tromping about like a limping gazelle calf when she was overtaken by something that rocked her to her core.

The vision came on like a wave of pain and terror, knocking her to a laying position, leaving her prone on the ground, the scent of predators ringing in her nose, letting her know that this place was dangerous. She was rolled onto her side, her abdomen heaving as the sights took her over. Creatures she'd nerver seen... well, obviously never seen. Sabariel knew they existed. Her sight-blessed siblings had told her of the creatures brought home to eat...and the creatures that were elsewhere around her. Though she'd never seen any of them herself....she could scent them often times. The small cub's body convulsed violently as her claws struck into mid-air, striking a bird that had flown too close.

As it fell, and the scent of sharp blood hit her nose, the cub rolled onto her stomach, her paws clinging as she realized she'd lost the sound of her brother. Shaking, her eyes glanced around, blindly, as her ears pivoted. Where was he? Why could she not hear his paws. Mewling pathetically, the young femme found herself on her feet again....wandering, "Mother...? Akuseru..?" It was barely a whisper, terror causing a small heart to thud as she finally caught up to a familiar scent. Tackling Akuseru to the ground, she growled lowly, "You ever leave me again, brother, I'll murder you in your sleep." Nibbling on his ear, she felt a sense of contentment running through her.

This was how things should be, near her brother..her blood...the feeling and smell were all she needed. This was safety. THIS was home.

Kaze Taco

PostPosted: Mon Apr 30, 2012 3:54 pm


Your Name: Kaze Taco
SoA Name: Kasivinya ("Kasi" for short)
Name Language and Meaning: Swahili for "quick rock".
Personality: To Kasi, everyone in the world is inherently born 'good'. If someone is mean, or described as "evil", it's because of something that's happened to them. Something, of course, that Kasi will fix!
If she can't fix a problem, or she's stuck in a situation that she doesn't like... she'll run. Not because she's a coward, really, but because running is the best solution. The wind in your fur, the chill on your nose, the soil underneath your paws: running makes you feel good! So, why not run?
Kasi's blind optimism and desire to help others can make her rather annoying to others, and incredibly gullible. She'll fall for almost any trick, because she's unwilling to believe that someone might actually just have a bad nature.
Is She Blind?: No
Extra notes?: Fix ALL the family's problems! Because she's super-helpful! Right? RIGHT? RIIIIGHT?
Prompt Chosen: 1. Terra's being a snobby jerk again and he seems to be in an especially bad mood with Akuseru picking on him again about some girl. He's now decided to take it out on you while you were doing your own thing. What do you do and how do you escape the Wrath of Terra?!

Prompt Reply:
Terra: Lord of the Mane. The Mane Event. The Mane Squeeze... you get the idea. This lion prized his fur above all else. He was a handsome cub, and he knew it. Of course, he made sure that everyone else knew, too: his littermates, his parents, his prey, his reflection in the watering hole-- everything.

Lately, however, he looked frazzled. Judging from Akuseru's gleeful bouncing, Kasi had a feeling that the exuberant cub was involved.

It didn't involve Kasi, really. I mean, she'd try to cheer Terra up. She always did. Whether it was offering a smile or sharing a bug, Kasi wanted her littermates to be happy. They were her siblings, after all.

Then she smiled once when she shouldn't have, and Terra smacked her. She had been in the wrong place at the wrong time with her cheerfulness. Now Kasi was being chased by her larger brother, a stream of insults flowing from his mouth.

The cub wasn't happy that her brother was angry at her, but at least it gave her an excuse to run. She wove through the slim trees and the tall grass, watching as her paws kicked dust up into the air. Kasi, simply put, was good at running. She was quick, and confident that her brother would eventually lose interest. Until then, she would continue to run and tune out his screaming.

Offensive Hero

PostPosted: Sun May 06, 2012 7:57 am


Your Name: SilverLutz
SoA Name: Mpatanishi - Tani for short
Name Language and Meaning: Swahili for 'mediator, peacemaker'.
Personality: Tani didn't fall very far from the tree, as the saying goes. She is quite like both of her parents in the respect that she is calm, quiet, and composed in most situations. Some would say she is wise beyond her years with what she says at times. Although she is young, it is obvious that she is brilliant in matters that concern logic and morality. She enjoys helping solve others problems and finds great satisfaction in succeeding.
Is She Blind?: No
Extra notes?: Her seer abilities don't make themselves present until she grows a bit. Once she does, they will give her the ability to see past lies and deceit, but only in matters that do not concern her. She is, essentially, a vessel to help other people solve their problems and could be considered something of a judge once she ages.
Prompt Chosen: Prompt 3
Prompt Reply: Tani loved days like today. It was bright and hot, as usual, but there was a constant cool breeze that made the shade enjoyable to lounge in. Unlike some of her other siblings, she preferred to spend her days laying under a tree and watching the world around her move. It was incredibly interesting to her to watch how other animals interacted with one another, from the tiny birds and bugs that lived in the trees to her own family. Every living thing had their own dynamic that she wanted to understand better, so she dedicated her days to watching rather than playing.

One ear twitched a bit as a noise caught her attention, and her head soon followed as the same ear swiveled around to detect the sound. Oh...it was Shumusi. What in the world was in his mouth? She stood as her brother approached, trying to figure out what it was that was dangling from his mouth. Once she realized what it was, her stomach dropped and her blood ran cold. Oh no...

"Shumusi...what...what is that?" she stammered as a rather large hare was dropped in front of her. It was clearly dead. She leaned in a bit to examine the creature, sniffing slightly. It didn't look or smell like one of Father's bunnies...it was too large and too wild-looking for that. But still...

"You should take that away so Father doesn't see," she said quietly, looking up at her brother. It was easy to tell he was a bit surprised and hurt that his present was being rejected, so she quickly lifted her head and pressed her nose against his cheek. "The sentiment is appreciated, but what if Father got a new pet that he didn't tell us about? Come on...I'll help you get rid of this. Then we can go find something else for you to hunt."

Your Name: Excited Apathy
SoA Name: Arisu
Name Language and Meaning: Japanese: "noble sort."
Personality: While she is too young to be as learned in etiquette, Arisu idolizes her mother and seeks to emulate her diplomatic ways. She seems to feel it is a personal failure if she fails to help hold the peace between her siblings, a task she is forever working at with varied degrees of success. She even tries to work diplomacy with her father, doing her best to steer clear of topics that seem to trouble him and trying her hardest to make him happy. An idealist and an optimist, who sees the glass half full - age will temper this, but she will always have hope.
Is She Blind?: No.
Extra notes?:
- She'd definitely like to be in a diplomatic sort of position when she grows older, whereever the family ends up.
- Her visions come in her sleep, and are difficult to discern from normal dreams. Sometimes she can unravel them in time, sometimes not.
- Sometimes has hunches, but these are even harder to tell from normal instinct.
Prompt Chosen: 1
Prompt Reply:
Arisu flicked an ear as bright golden eyes opened, sleepily looking upon the irate form of her eldest brother. He was mid-rant, seemingly unaware of the fact she'd been happily sleeping on the most wonderful sun-warmed rock...but as she became fully awake, her nap faded into insignificance. Her brother was upset, very upset, which meant she'd slipped in her peace-keeping. Had it been Akuseru again, or something new? No matter.

What mattered was that she needed to fix it.

"I'm sorry for your trouble, my brother," she murmured quietly, eyes large, serious, and sincere. Too serious for such a young cub. "Is there anything I can do? If it's Akuseru, I could...maybe I could talk to him." She took a deep breath...her next words were risky, and might make everything worse. But her brother was smart, and he would know what she meant...right? "He might think you're just being normal, you know? But if he hears it from me, too..."

She looked down at her feet. "And if it's not him, I'll still help. Please...let me help."

Please, don't be angry at me. I just want to help.
