Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Amando
Meaning:
Italian form of Amandus. Derived from Latin amanda meaning "lovable, worthy of love". Saint Amandus was a 5th-century bishop of Bordeaux.

Personality:
Being the youngest of his siblings, Amando occasionally falls prey to the 'baby stereotype' that is often bestowed upon the youngest of a litter, but he will eventually strive to prove it wrong. Amando isn't inherently as good at fighting or as coordinated as his older brothers. At first impression, he may appear to be the 'softest' of his brothers as well. He has an outwardly friendly and loving nature, though that is sometimes marred by a witty and occasionally sharp tongue, especially if he manages to get himself into an argument in which he has strong belief in. It is this sense of conviction, like his father, that will carry into other areas, such as his training in the future, and fighting for his family's beliefs. Being the youngest, and smallest, he won't possess the physical prowess of his older siblings. This may cause a lot of discouragement in the beginning, but he will learn to work through any teasing or self doubt and work very hard to equal his siblings in the skills they're being taught.

Amando will be fearful, at first, as he learns of his history and what became of his ancestors. On a more positive turn, he will also come to possess a very strong sense of pride, knowing that he comes from a line of noble creatures that stood for justice, and died fighting for it. Training in such violent arts will both boost his confidence, but also perhaps bolster fear over the future of his family. This will be an obstacle that he fights through and deals with as he grows.
Plots/notes:
- Would they ever go after the lions who killed Gio and Maria's previous pride? I don't know if you guys had anything like that in mind, but it was almost the first thing that came to mind and I'd be all for it.

- This sort of relates to the above point As he grows up he will gain a lot of different feelings and emotions about what happened to his parents and will want to know a lot about where they came from. I thought perhaps angry or vengeful feelings may arise eventually, and even if they don't end up going after the bad pride, it would still be interesting to deal with said emotions. He would probably rely on his parents (particularly Gio) in figuring out appropriate outlets for such feelings.

- As a child, Ama will have some reservations about what they're learning, and why. He'll be unsure of himself, ask a lot of questions. Why do they have to fight now if they're safe? Why are we training? Things like this. He won't resist the training by any means, but will come to accept it more and more as he learns that it's for a just and noble cause. He will become very proud of his heritage.

- :3 Lots and lots of sibling RP and family RP! He'll probably bug dad a lot for private lessons since pesky Federico and Ezio are always getting the upper paw on him...

...Can we enter for all 3? @_@ I just really want to be a part of this family. XD Obviously I'm not asking if we can win all 3, just asking if we can enter for all 3.

(entering for all three)

For Claudia!

Personality: Claudia is very strong willed, when she sets her mind to something she will do her best to finish and accomplish it. However once she has achieved what she wants, she gets bored and moves onto yet another project. She prefers the working towards a goal than the final result and if anyone dares to think she can't do something because she's a female, well you'd better watch your pockets because she'll take that bet and prove that she is just as good as any male. As a cub her innocence is endearing and she ask many questions of her parents to learn as much as she can. She adores her brothers and she absolutely dotes on Petruccio, Ezio and Federico. While she loves all her brothers she feels especially close to those three. As she gets older and more interested in males she will learn how to use her feminine wiles to get what she wants, usually it is to learn something new or gain the trust and respect of others. She will become fairly stubborn and should anyone challenge her, she will never back down.

Plot Ideas?: I only have one particular plot in mind right now. When she becomes an adult she will leave the pride for a while to go out and explore the world. While she is away she will become pregnant, this is not a general fling, she will love him greatly. When the cubs arrive she will long for home and her mother to the point her heart aches for them. While she was brought up in the Assassins she doesn't want this for her firstborn cubs and will leave them with their father to return home. Her parents will know she had cubs but she won't ever speak of why she left them. Should she take a mate in the future then those cubs will be raised within the family but apart as she will live with the male rather than staying with her parents.

RP sample: (this would be cub roleplay)
Claudia was annoyed, her brothers had teased her for being unable to climb the pile of rocks as fast as they had because she was a girl. At first Claudia had been upset and had walked away cursing them but once she had calmed down she became determined. "Right, i'll show them" she said to herself, as she began scrambling. The first time she reached the top she knew she had been rather slow so she descended, caught her breath and tried again, this time finding it a little easier than before as she remembered where some of the best pawholds were. She was annoyed with herself since she still felt like she hadn't been as fast as her brothers, so, again, she climbed down. She kept going up the rock pile again and again until she memorised every best pawholds up there. She'd gotten many scrapes and her paws and legs ached terribly but she did it one last time, almost slipping when she neared the top but she'd made it. She was panting when she got up there but she'd done in as fast as she had ever gone and she reckoned she was faster than even Ezio climbing up there now. She smiled to herself as she sat on the top, watching the sun begin to set. "I'll show them" she panted to herself "Next time i'll beat them and show them exactly what girls can do." She was exceedingly proud of herself right now and, with a huge smile on her face, she returned to her parents and her brothers, not telling how she came by the scrapes. Not until she challenged them tomorrow. She curled against her mother happily and drifted into a deep sleep, exhausted by her efforts but smugly pleased with herself.

Extra info if you have any: As per the plot one or more of her first born cubs may find her once they are adults and become part of the Auditore family.

Would she leave the pride?: She may leave for a while sometime after Ezio does, to prove she can do anything he does. But she will return to her family.

Name: Gavino

Meaning: White Hawk

Personality: Gavino is very trusting, sometimes too much so. While he never forgets his training he often gives others too many chances to redeem themselves. He isn't reluctant to use his skills but he prefers to give others time and ways to prove they do have a true heart underneath their surface. He idolises his sister and brothers and if they have a task or request for him, he will ALWAYS carry it out no matter how tired he is or if he had other things in mind for the day. He loves his parents very much and sticks close to home, but he is much closer to his mother than his father, often doing tasks for her even if she hasn't specifically requested them. If his family was hungry he'd be the first to offer to hunt and the first to give up his share to feed the others. While he likes pride life he doesn't really interact much with those outside his family. As he gets older and begins to be more interested in females he will be more protective of his sister than ever before but around other females aside from family he will be rather shy to initiate any sort of relationship. He is very respectful and polite to everyone he speaks to.

Plots/notes: Gavino is a cub that would never dream of leaving his family. Not even for a mate should he find the courage. He will bring her back to live with them rather than leave to live with her. I have no specific plots until he is Juve or even Adol.

Plot 1 - Juve - He meets a female he becomes firm friends with but his parents do not approve and he decides to drift away from her because he would never disappoint them. This hurts him more than he would ever admit.

Plot 2 - Adol - He meets a female on the edges of the pridelands and is forced to use his training to defend himself, despite her being a female and him having an aversion to harming them.
(will be a self rp with a rather mean and sadistic female)

Plot 3 - Adol - He reunites with the female he became friends with and finds that there is still some sort of spark between them and despite his parents previous aversion to the relationship, he begins meeting her in secret.

Plot 4 - Adult - He realises he is in love with the female after trying several times to form a relationship with others despite his strong friendship with her. He approaches his parents with her and wants to be her mate and bring her into the family.
(results of this plot depends on parents and their decisions, any future plots also depend on this stage)

Name: Vidal
Meaning: Full of Life
Personality: Vidal lives up to his name in that he is incredibly active, somewhat rambunctious and always in high spirits. Nothing can get him down. He's very curious, always eager to learn and explore and is constantly seeking to impress his parents and his siblings. He very rarely considers concequences before he acts, which isn't really a good thing.

He will remain like this all his life, unless some plot changes his way of thinking. He won't be quite as hyper and rambunctious, but he will be just as confident (if not more so), eager and curious.
Plots/notes:
- I think it would be interesting to throw some kind of negative experience his way, in an attempt to reign his personality in a little. Perhaps an accident during training, due to over-confidence or carelessness. Just something to make him think before he acts.
- I also quite like the idea of him enjoying the idea of assassination, and feeling a bit put out by the fact that it would not be something he could partake in if he remained with the Pride, despite all the training he'll be getting.
