Can we enter for more than one of each? I tried to find any info on that in the rules but maybe I passed over it? *re-reads*
I'm not sure HOW I missed that since it was rule what, 3? D:

Can we joint enter for the RP contest? Say... someone enters as the father and one other enters for the mother and kind of work the relationship between the two together specifically?

You can, however there is no guarantee that if one wins the other will as well.
For the purposes of the RP section of your entry you may assume the other hyenas in the contest behave however you like. Try to keep your focus on the hyena you are entering for, but if it will help your entry you may play the father if entering for the mother or the mother if entering for the father as well. Just keep in mind that until the contest is over and the winners are decided, there is no way of knowing exactly how the hyenas will turn out.
Basically, don't build the character you're entering for around an idea that someone else will play their counterpart a specific way, because they may not.
I hope that made sense xD *Not fully awake yet* If you need clarification just ask, and I'll reply after I get some coffee >w>

It makes perfect sense. No worries here, though. I try to always keep in mind that the personality of a sibling/relative might not be exactly as I imagine it when I do a personality.
I know it might seem like one of my cub personalities relates heavily on the other sister's personality but it honestly doesn't until she's bound for the same plans I've got for the one.
I think rather than doing a joint I'll just enter separately and see how goes.
Thanks!

WHO DUNNIT?!
Entering For: Mother
Name: Aminali (Faithful, true in Swahili)
Personality: A little naive, Aminali tends to look on the brighter side of life and trust others much too easily. She loves her pups, and her mate, and her friend. The idea of anyone willingly harming her or family is alien to her, and because of this she has a very difficult time understanding breaches of trust or personal attacks. In truth, she's almost dangerously naive, and lets her mate and friend do most of the decision making for her, preferring to love and support from the sidelines... which isn't always the best position to be in.
Who did it?: Aminali honestly has no idea who could possibly want to take her cubs away from her. Surely no-one she knows would dare do such a thing! But her pups were too young to just wander away... this poor hyena is confused, distraught, and really doesn't have anyone to blame. She just wants her babies back, please?
Character Response: Her pups were gone. Her precious, wonderful babies... they were gone! Vanished in the night; most said they were stolen but who would ever do such a thing? Why would anyone want to take her babies away from her? Aminali just didn't understand, and she lay in a corner of the den she had birthed the cubs in, staring forlornly at the spot where her daughters should be sleeping, but weren't. Cries of pain escaped her now and then - not physical pains, but the soul-deep pain of having her young taken away. Aminali tried to think about what would make someone take another's cubs, but she couldn't wrap her mind around it. These were her babies, not anyone else's - surely they couldn't have mistaken them for their pups! Her daughters were perfect combinations of herself and her mate!
Whimpering again, Aminali rested her head on her paws and closed her eyes, hoping that her babies would be found soon. The confusion about their identity couldn't last long, right? And all of this talk about... about stealing them - that had to be wrong! It would never happen! Heaving a sigh, the hyena got to her feet and paced to the exit of the den, looking around to see if anyone had dropped her babies nearby before heading back inside to wait for their safe return.

Pup you are trying for: Red hair
Name: Imena
Meaning: Dream
Personality: A little duller than her sister but CERTAINLY not an idiot. She's also a bit bigger and stronger than her (or at least I'd like her to be ICly). This hyena enjoys the simple things in life. She loves rough play and has endless, boundless amounts of energy. She may be a bit naieve about things but she doesn't need something explained to her more than once before she catches on. As she gets older she's more content to find her niche in the pack and stay there - she admires her sister, no matter WHAT she does, and will always be behind her if she needs. As an adult she has just as much energy she did as a child, often times finding herself unable to stand or sit still for very long. She's always seeking new things and new ways to DO things.
Future Plans: I'd LOVE for her to be an Obsequen... and she would LOVE the job. She'd take it on less because she's not intelligent enough and more because it's an excellent way to spend her boundless energy and she enjoys thinking out ways to more effectively dig out tunnels, ways to make them more secure and less likely to cave in.

WHO DUNNIT?!
Entering For: Father
Name: Dunamis ("power, strength, force" in Ancient Greek)
Personality: Dunamis is very confidant in his abilities and that he is destined for a high role in the pack, even though he is a newmember. He is excessively proud of his mate and her lovely babes, and sees them almost as a vindication of himself. He has been showing the pups off to the rest of the pride to the point of gloating, and frequently fishes for compliments on their color, intelligence, etc.
Otherwise he is a fairly charming and congenial fellow, and will do his best to look after the "lesser people". He'll even go to great length and personal risk to protect them, seeing it as his obligation. But any hint of insult to his family members puts him immediately on the offensive. When his anger is roused, his common sense sometimes falls prey to dogmatic determination and it might take yelling in his face or a blow to the head to snap him out of the aim he's chosen. Oddly, he doesn't typically hold grudges for long; he writes off the poor behavior of others towards him as inevitable jealousy, and may even try to console the perpetrator.
Who did it?: Kafil
Character Response: Dunamis is furious that his pups have gone missing, and is on the rampage to find the perpetrator. Without any leads, he defaults to the assumption that someone is jealous of his assured (assumed) future success, and is seeking to prevent him from laying down family roots and staking a "claim" in the pack.
Since the most powerful male seems to be Kafil, he is in Dunamis' sights, and Dunamis is harassing him aggressively to hunt down the perpetrator, as is his Magisterial duty. Really though he's looking for Kafil to slip up and give him evidence of the puptheft. No thoughts are on his mind of trying to weaken Kafil's role for his own gain (he doesn't think to steal what he assumes is eventually guaranteed), but that doesn't mean he wouldn't gladly try to step in if Kafil was usurped.
But in the end he mainly cares about protecting his missing pups. He will fight whoever he must to get them back. All other thoughts take a backseat.

Pup you are trying for: Red hair
Name: Psephos
Meaning: "pebble" in Ancient Greek
Personality: Psephos is moody, one moment jubilant and the next melancholy. When she is happy she loves everyone and wants to spread joy everywhere, but when she is blue she sinks into misery, and when she is angry she becomes a little ball of rage. Her moodswings confuse and startle her as much as anyone else, and become her primary form of self-criticism when she's sad. Though she's been unable so far to keep them balanced, she's practicing how to fake a pleasant attitude even when she's not feeling it, and maybe someday she'll become the mask.
On a side note, she has a good head for figures and loves counting. Her father named her Psephos because she loves to line up pebbles and count them.
Future Plans: Psephos will be a studier of mathematics, if she can get her head on straight. She will grill all newcomers and strangers on their understanding of counting, hoping to piece together a grand view of the subject.

WHO DUNNIT?!
Entering For: Father
Name: Pazeme = inferno in Latvian
Personality: Pazeme is really a nice guy, so long as you stay on his good side. He's the kind of guy that would do anything for anyone without question, so long as they seem like a good being. However, Pazeme has a temper that can get nasty real quick if all the wrong buttons are pushed.
Who did it?: Going back and forth between the Friend and Taka. Taka is too fidgety and too edgy for his liking. As for the friend, he's far too quiet and mysterious, which has his him second guessing his trust in the black male.
Character Response: "I knew we shouldn't have trusted him!" Pazeme spat as he paced back and forth. The ground beneath his feet had began to wear away from constant treading and his paws now ached and throbbed. "I bet their working together!" he spewed again. It was one of many of his hair brained ideas. Anything at this point was just to make him feel more at east. It didn't help that his mate was distraught. As much as he wanted to tell her it would be alright, the hyena was at a lost for words. He had always been told he was too much of a trusting fellow. This situation had him questioning his ways now. Maybe he had been too generous? Too kind? Too willing to believe another's words. He had always tried to be as generous as he could, whenever possible, but look where it got him. His pups kidnapped.
With a grunt and a sigh, he shook his head, his mane beating against his neck. Plopping down on his rump, he stared hard at his paws. "Oh my babies....where could you be?" he whispered to himself as if he expected an answer. He looked up, his green eyes filled with pain and glazed over with rage. Oh the things he would do to the one whom stole his pups. Heaven forbid someone give him time alone with the creature. It may not ever walk out alive. One thing was for certain though, he would find his pups, no matter what it takes. Even if it meant he would never see the light of day again, his girls would return home to their mother safe and sound. That he was sure of.
