Redoing...

[Manda]

Poli is a rather laid-back, fun loving sort of leopard. He absolutely loves water, and swimming. He's friendly, a gentleman to the ladies, and willing to help just about anyone who needs it.

Poli has recently met a leopardess with memory troubles and offered to let her stay with him. This could be interesting...

In the Past...
Poli was born as one of a litter of many. He had lots of siblings growing up, and several older siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles as well .... basically, a very large family. All of them lived in a spot farther south, near the coast. Most of the youngsters were taught to swim as a precaution, in case they fell into the water... but none took to it quite so well as Poli did.

The young leopard absolutely loved to swim, and would even sneak off at times to do so by himself. He was good at fishing as well and soon became one of the hunters for the group.

But one day ... a typhoon was blown off-course and crashed into their sheltered cove... killing many and separating the rest of the large extended family with sudden floods, downed trees, and all manner of other obstacles.

Poli found himself alone, washed up on the beach much farther north than he had ever explored before. Not knowing if the rest of his family was alive or dead, he tried to go back and look for them ... but was thwarted by a desert in between. There was no way to swim back to them either, as there was nothing but high cliffs for quite a few hours south of where he had washed up. So there was no where to get out of the water and rest and he was quickly exhausted.

So... mourning the loss of his family still, but determined not to let it get him down for long, Poli wandered north until he found another small cove and made himself a home there...though he has always wished for a family of his own. To perhaps, start over and honor his own lost birth family.

On the whole, Nzambi has a rather negative outlook on life, thanks to things that have happened in her past. Though a part of her wishes that everything was fair and good, she believes that she knows better. Another part of her longs for, and is fascinated with death ... though she hasn't ever really tried anything like killing herself. She just knows that eventually she will die, probably painfully and alone, and she doesn't seem to care. She also believes that she is incapable of having anything to do with life, including having pups.

Recently...
Nzambi has heard tales of a Goddess of Decay and is searching for her... even she herself is not sure why. Perhaps to demand answers, perhaps to beg for her to end it all and let her follow her mate and pups....who knows.

In the Past...
Once, Nzambi had a normal life - a family, friends... a mate. She was even expecting a litter of puppies to be born soon ... when tragedy struck. Many have heard of the plaque that struck down the old leaders of the Pridelands and countless others. What they don't know, however, is that there were other sicknesses that were almost offshoots of that one - and they lurked in certain places about the lands. Water and trees and ground, simply waiting for victims to wander too near.

One of these rogue strands found, and caught, Nzambi's group. At first, it was only the young ones that died, getting far too hot, and then simply falling over and not getting up. But as time went on ... it got worse. The disease attacked adults, ancients, and young alike. And the symptoms became worse. Before the end of it all, there were some with half-rotted limbs, so tormented by pain and madness that they had gnawed at themselves until they bled and wounds became infected.

Nzambi was one of the "lucky" ones. She survived, but very few others did... her mate did not. Nor did her pups. They were stillborn while she was battling the disease herself and it was clear to all that even had they been born alive they would not have lived for long - because they too, showed signs of the sickness.

The others who survived soon picked up their lives and determined to try to start over... but Nzambi was heartbroken and weary of life... and so she wandered away one dark night - and was not seen again by any of the others.
