Click the banner above to check out who the Kizi are as a pride. If you already are getting a cub from this breeding, please share the love. This will be a personality contest, plus a few other tidbits that will be noted in the form.

And here is the pretty boy you're trying for


User Image


Fireheart, the Gypsy Queen and his mother, and Straw Dog, his father, are both rather oddballs to be in the Kizi. They value discipline and strength over being completely carefree. Straw Dog used to be a general in his old pride and Fireheart trained herself since she was young to be a great warrior should the need ever arise that her family found themselves in danger.

That being said, you don't have to make the blue baby a fighter. Have fun with this personality, make him zany or quiet, happy-go-lucky or serious. Do whatever moves you~

Username: Samus x
SoA's Name: barafu moto
Gypsy Name: Fire Ice
Personality: very serious, loyal, acts very proper since he thinks that's how a royal prince should act like. loves to please his parents so if they voiced they wanted him to be trained in the ways of fighting, he would totally do it to make them happy. he also is the very quiet type unless spoken too.
Share some ideas for future plots: arranged marriage to another around his age from the bahari pride. he would fight against it in a rebelious way at first since he usualy always is the serious obediant son who loves to please his parents since he is after all royalty and thinks that a royal prince should act accordenly wether he likes it or not. though in the end he would go through with it and come to find he actually becomes fond of the female he is arranged with. other than that i'd think there could be other plots where he tries to act rebelious to certian things that he just doesn't want to do.
Would you be interested in an arranged marriage with another pride? sure
Are you a Kizi newbie? nope biggrin -owns the half uncle-

Username: Velveteen Angel
SoA's Name: Uga'nadhari (Green Gaze)
Gypsy Name: Flame Walker
Personality: The little medic. He likes that his family is full of fighters, but he doesn't like pain - so he won't participate in that, but if his family ever has scrapes or bruises, he is so your man! He's not the chattiest male around, nor is he the quietest. In fact, he kinda just...blends in, except when you need him, then he's at the forefront of whatever's happening. He'll pop up, fix what needs fixing, and then go back to observing or playing with new medicines. He will learn how to fight, as his parents are so capable and he'd hate to disappoint them, but he'll never see it as his passion, it'll only ever be a skill that he learnt to please his parents.
Share some ideas for future plots:
I'd love for him to apprentice under an alchemist in the pride, but only after trying to brew his own medicine and either making himself, or someone in his family, a bit sick - not dangerously sick, but just like, giving them mild food poisoning by mixing a not-so-healthy mushroom into their 'tonic' or something.
I'd love for him to be in an arranged marriage - and for the girl to protest him. Perhaps she would prefer a fighter, or something, someone more like his brothers/family. He'd be dutiful, but worry constantly about his family without him there to cure their ailments - he'll probably be a worrywart and send messengers back and forth to check up on them, until he starts a family of his own.
Would you be interested in an arranged marriage with another pride? Depending on the pride, yes c:

Username: Conrad the Mighty
SoA's Name: Bahram (Victory over resistance) - Ram for short
Gypsy Name: FrozenGlass - Zen for short in later years
Personality: Being a Gypsy Lord Bahram understands from an early age means he has certain expectations he has to meet and standards he must uphold, it's not a hall-pass for laziness as some may take it. Serious knight-in-shining-armor syndrome as a cub, carefree in his devotion to the teachings of his parents, even though Ram was quite quiet when not in play. Through RP he'll adjust to either being a stubborn, studious hard a**, right behind his mother every step whenever he can be or more lighthearted and right behind his mother. At heart no matter what, he'll be a mommy's boy but don't ever chastise him about it. However if he gets too harsh, Macaw'Zaa will step in and show him how to to find the smile in the cloud. Eventually he'll begin to try to balance one side of his life and his pride with the other. The more traditional gypsy ways with his own expectations of his parents which would trickle down to all of his daily actions. Zen hopes he finds peace and harmony in reflecting what he observes through the frost of his expectations of the other side. Unless a wrench gets thrown into his engine by his parents and subsequently his duties, then he'll discover he's quite resilient and adaptable.
Share some ideas for future plots:
+ Play Training: The purpose of any pleasure given to a gypsy lord is to groom for his future. His parents wouldn't throw him anything they didn't prepare him for, so he tried to take everything as a lesson. This lesson is with more than one sibling, ideally one beats him and he gets alllllll butt-hurt but then he beats the other and he feels on-top of the world for a moment, but he forces himself to move past the moment to learn from his mistakes to be stronger. Or however it works out in RP.
+ Traditions: Uncle Akanni tries to explain what being a gypsy is truly about without the cubs parents to filter him. Bahram experiences his first true inner conflict about his parent's teachings vs the pride. Was one right and the other wrong?
+ Expectations boil: Bahram looses his cool for the first time, shattering his frosty exterior and his passion flows out in anger then turns to confusion, then sadness but then slumps to love then quickly to happiness as the young stern cub experiences a full spectrum of emotion. The only question, is who is around to observe the transformation? Will they push him to be more light hearted and to relax a little or to maintain his strength in loyalty to the wishes of his parents of perhaps a mix of the two? We'll see how it plays out.
+ Fury of the birds: If Uncle Akanni must step in to save the sanity of his nephew then he will gladly do so and will shake some fun into that kid!
+ Duties: Growing older, Zen must do some sort of task he doesn't want to do. It's really up to the parents to use him to do their bidding.
Would you be interested in an arranged marriage with another pride? Yes, even though I love the K'Z, Zen will grow to be dutiful, despite any personal objections.

Username: tuesdayscat
SoA's Name: Trăscău (fire water)
Gypsy Name: Jadeblaze
Personality: Jade aims to be a spontaneous, lackadaisical feline without a worry in the world. At some point his inherent sense of humor knocked his inherited solemnity down a few pegs so while he may understand the gravity of a situation, he's not above making light of it. His first instinct is to shirk responsibility like a bad pelt, but his upbringing makes that a difficult pill to swallow so he totes around any duties or obligations about as cheerfully as he might a perpetual raincloud – but he does it, because he was raised to take care of such things rather than slip them off to the next poor shmuck. Jade figures he has big shoes to fill someday, or at least a solid name to live up to, so he may not exactly be happy to be the responsible guy but he'll do it. His temper is rather slow to rouse, but he takes his sweet time with forgiveness.
Share some ideas for future plots: Despite his better judgment, Jade is actually rather eager for his father's approval. I think it would be interesting if this was a bit of a trial for him – if he had to do something he otherwise would not, or simply did not see eye-to-eye with his parents. He would pretend like such a thing meant nothing to him, but it would undoubtedly mean the world and put a lot of stress on his life. He might even fall for someone his parents did not approve of – if such a thing exists – or father cubs out of wedlock, or something that would just generally be poor judgment and force him to grow up and – gasp – take responsibility for his actions.
Would you be interested in an arranged marriage with another pride? He would not be happy about it, but he would grit his teeth and go where he was bid.

Username: KasaiLoki
SoA's Name: Valko (Wolf)
Gypsy Name: Fire Bolt
Personality: Valko is proud of his family. As he grows, he becomes a little bit on the arrogant side, thinking he is the best of the best. (Ideally as he is rped out, his personality will become more set in stone.)
Share some ideas for future plots:
+He will train as a fighter – though he won’t be the best of it. Part of him doesn’t think battle scars are the most attractive of items to carry. He will stick to the shadows in battle, becoming more of an observer than engager.
+When he finds his true love, it will be someone he least expects. His arrogant self will cause the brunt of his problems with his relationship and he’ll find himself thinking twice about his attitude.
Would you be interested in an arranged marriage with another pride? If it develops a nice juicy plot, then yes!
Are you a Kizi newbie? Yes~ (The changes the pride went through did not fit with my old girl’s personality, so she dispersed to find her old muse)

-Reposting my personality from the custom application, cause I still really like the character concept-

Username: The Captain Britain
SoA's Name: Asker (Turkish: Warrior)
Gypsy Name: Cold Fire
Personality: Asker's gypsy name takes after his personality. He burns with the same passion and fighting spirit of his parents, but it is controlled and tempered by a calmer and schooled exterior. He is not prone to shouting or snapping at others. Instead, Asker prefers to speak in softer tones, tones that force people to lean in and listen to what he is saying. He rarely loses his temper, and is quick to retaliate to insults with biting retorts and a tongue sharper than his claws. He is not to be underestimated, however. True to his parents, Asker has the fighting skills to back his words up, and he has absolutely no qualms about doing so if need be. This is something he holds very important to him. Empty words and empty threats are the ultimate show of weakness and poor character. Why talk the talk if you can’t walk the walk?
He likes to think that he is a master of his emotions and tries not to let most of them show so others cannot manipulate his, often leading others to perceive him as “cold.” However, Asker is just as affected by his emotions are other lions are, and his refusal to admit this truth can lead to misunderstandings and frustration with those trying to get close to his.
He is obsessed with upholding his family's honour and living up to his parents legacy. Asker has a strong sense of duty to both his pride and his family, though he thoroughly believe that he would choose his family over his pride if the situation came up.
Share some ideas for future plots:
1. DRAMA. Of any kind. Family drama, drama with other pride members, anything is loved. I'd love for a reoccurring character who constantly manages to piss him off, therefore making him lose control of his emotions, which would cause him to be even more angry.
2. I want him to be put into that situation where he has to choose family or pride. Perhaps Asker would realize that as a royal, he needs to put the needs of the pride above his family. Perhaps he would realize that he believe more in the ties of blood and kin.
3. Asker looks up to his parents a LOT, especially his father. He will be ICly training with the patrons. His dream is to hold some sort of military leadership to do his father's legacy justice.
4. I would love for him (when he's an adult) and a group of thieves/other patrons to get lost while out hunting/cubnapping. It would be kind of like an Odyssey-thing, where they have to struggle to get home. Maybe discover other prides nearby along the way. Maybe recruit more members for the Kizi. Maybe make friends with new prides, or maybe some enemies.
Would you be interested in an arranged marriage with another pride? Depends on the pride and the plot, but most likely yes. Asker's sense of duty to both family and pride would allow him to accept an arranged marriage fairly easily. He would have to be able to visit every now and then if he moved to the female's pride, however.

I wasn't going to enter... Then I looked at him again and couldn't resist xd ;; I'm doin' this just because it's fun to do ~

Username: Andranis
SoA's Name: Gori Mraz (Macedonian for Burning ice)
Gypsy Name: Fire Dog - He grew up idolizing his parents, thus he went with a name that honored both. (I FAIL! XD; ) Iron Dog
Personality: Despite a cool exterior, Iron Dog is every bit as serious as his parents, and often hard on himself. He picks apart everything he does wrong, trying to make himself better so he doesn't make the same mistakes twice. He wants to be as great a warrior as his mother and father are, often trying to push himself harder to get further.
Share some ideas for future plots: Perhaps one day, he'll go off to marry a lady in another pride to build a bond between the Kizaa and the other pride - Beyond that, he'd strive to be the best gypsy he can, maybe lead a group to glory.
Would you be interested in an arranged marriage with another pride? Yes ~
Are you a Kizi newbie? No xd ;

Username: Saint Sergio
SoA's Name: Hasa | Special in Swahili
Gypsy Name: Breeze
Personality: Breeze is as his name says, kind of airheaded. He's not stupid, he just doesn't focus enough to really grasp things unless he's really interested in the. He likes art; admiring Leo's drawings every chance he gets, wanting to learn from the male so he can be just as good as him. He wants to learn every aspect of art and devote his life to it. However, with his parents how they are, he tries to hide it and honestly tries to focus on things that matter. But he gets bored and lets his mind wander.
Share some ideas for future plots:
-- I want him to have a few RPs with Leo, talking about art and how he does things.
-- I want him to have some disagreements with mom and dad about wanting to be an artist.
-- Maybe even strive to be a good son that they can be proud of and manage to slip up.
-- Some more drama with his siblings when he realizes that the pride is whispering about how airheaded this Gypsy Lord is.
Would you be interested in an arranged marriage with another pride? Sure! It sounds like it could be lots of fun!
