LESSONS LEARNED


Your Name: iilluminatii
Cub's Name: Akin
Meaning: Brave Boy
Future Rank: Bard
Prompt Reply: Akin learned an early lesson on the fleetingness of love in his clan. His best friend, another cub named Chiku, died early from the plague. She was his closest companion since birth- They played together, they bathed together, they even started to become attracted to one another. However, the plague is unforgiving... And took her without a moment's notice. Akin mourned for days on end, crying even when there were no tears left. Eventually, he learned that to keep surviving he had to let her go. Even if it was painful. But that didn't mean he had to forget his closest friend. He keeps her memory close by, their shared adventurous spirit fueling his later days of learning and training to become a bard well-versed in the ways of the world around them- learning and creating songs about everlasting friendship and love through times of hardship and sorrow.
Tell me something you like about K'A: I like this tribe because of the trials they have to go through just to live out each day- their numbers dwindling yet their spirits keeping strong through the help of creative thinkers like the bards, keeping them entertained and well informed.

RANK MY FUTURE!


Your Name: Satsurashi
Cub's Name: Safi’vijicho
Meaning: Bright eyes
Prompt Reply: As a cub, Safi knew two things about her family. The first was that Elera was her mother, but she was often not around. The second was that Auntie Bird was not their mother or their species, but she was always there for them. And to Safi, that made her more important. Safi adored Auntie Bird as she grew up, and though she respected her mother as time went by, she felt less affection for her than her avian surrogate parent. As a cub she used to dream that one day she’d wake up and have wings, so that she could follow Auntie Bird everywhere she went.

As Safi grew older she began to see why Auntie Bird had such an important role in her life growing up. She would wonder often what she might have turned out like had she not been around, and it was only herself, her siblings and her often absent and emotionally distant mother, in a pride full of the sick and the dying. But she gradually began to see that there were others in that very position. Lions died every day here, leaving behind whatever families they had, and sometimes their cubs. Of all the cubs she knew, a good many of them were orphans. Who was going to protect and nurture them, as her surrogate mother had done for her as a cub?

Safi decided to put her immunity to good use. She would never get sick and die, she knew, and so she was ideal to become a nanny and take care of the cubs of the pride who had no one else, or whose parents were too ill to provide them all the care they needed. She could always be there for them, as their own parents might have wished they could be if fate hadn't intervened.

Tell me something you like about K'A: I’ve always been a fan of disease disaster stories… Like the Stand, 28 Days Later, Right at your Door, etc. So a diseased pride would be lots of fun to roleplay, especially since it’s a diseased pride and these cubs are immune… dramaz! smile

PLOT MY FUTURE!


Your Name: Hoshi Lockhart
Cub's Name: Thulani
Meaning: "Be quiet, be comforted" in African.
Future Rank: Scout
Prompt Reply: Thulani never thought much of himself. He wasn't very smart or fast. No one relied on him to get a speedy job done. Or to lift something or someone heavy. His fur wasn't even kept as neat as it should be and kids disliked the stories he tried to tell them. But there was one thing he could take advantage of, that he deemed worthy enough to be considered a talent. Because of his dark coat, he could hide in the shadows easily. He used this to aid those who needed information on something or someone and were too sick to leave their beds. Always something innocent. Like keeping an eye on a wandering cub for an ill mother.
One day, when he was older, he strayed close to the border in curiosity of hearing some people talk. Like most youngsters, he had a natural adventurous streak and he wanted to, at least once, see what was beyond the pride's walls. So he followed the two voices he heard, going beyond the borders without noticing what he was doing. It was two grown up male lions, discussing what to do about some captured cubs they spirited away from a pride. Thulani quickly returned to his own pride, fearful of what lay beyond the borders. Only a little fearful of what types of creatures would come near his own. He didn't tell anyone of what he saw, but vowed to stay close to the pride to protect them from individuals like those lions.
Some more ideas: Getting into a scrap with lions like that. Perhaps the same two he witnessed or perhaps just helping a rogue with trouble near the border while he's scouting. It would be cute, when it came time to pick a mate, if he could help her by witnessing some wrong done to her. Someone who doesn't see him in the same negative light as he does. Because he'll always just see himself as a shadow. Nothing special.
Other than that, I'd rather see what happens from interacting with others. I don't like to set everything so much in stone.
Tell me something you like about K'A: Besides what I already said, the high potential for drama it has. I enjoy giving my characters lots of hardships to strengthen them. I also love giving them happy endings in compensation of torturing them in the past or while they grow. <3
