Username: Thalion
SoA's Name: SoA Name
Original Member? No
Desired Rank: Thrall
Brief Personality: Zaphod has only ever known servitude and hardship. He's shy, withdrawn, and cannot meet anyone's eyes when he's being spoken to. His meek and small nature isn't helped by his low, raspy voice. Even when he does speak it's horribly difficult to understand him between his tone and his muttering into his mane. He also suffers from horrible migraines whenever his seer powers are evoked. He has a very powerful mind's eye but the power often leaves him feeling like half a mountain dropped on his head. He can come off as moody and unpleasant, but he really only cares if he offends his mistress.

Brief History:
Born to a large family of former Mistweavers, Zaphod was snatched up by the firekin Prince, Sinbad in his early cubhood to be presented to Kenna, the future queen of the old blood. He lived as a pampered 'toy' under Kenna, completely obedient to her every word. As he grew older alongside his queen, Zaphod found himself completely head over heels for her- but never mentioned it. He was used primarily for his ability as a seer, though his visions did no good in avoiding the eventual fall of the old blood. When the war was over and the dust settled, slavery was abolished and Zaphod was set free. Because of his color, he was no longer permitted at his lady's side. Heartbroken, Zaphod left the desert alone. Unfortunately, he was completely unable to fend for himself. He never learned how to hunt or how to fight. He ended up learning how to scavenge to keep himself alive. After several years, the lion became thin, filthy, and fought only to see the next sunrise every day.

When finally Kenna decided to move on from the firekin, she found the sorry sack of bones that had once been her devoted servant. Rather than let him suffer, she took him up with her once more and Zaphod, feeling Kenna's return was an answer to his prayers, was more than happy to follow. Under Kenna's care he was given back his health and his purpose.

SoA's Name: Bassi
Original Member? Yes
Desired Rank: Reaver (I'll do a JRP and a viking before getting him certed)
Brief Personality: Good-natured and jolly, Bassi was apparently quite the reaver in his day (according to him, anyhow). He's become a bit chubby in his older age, and seems content to play the part of a proud family man. Bassi means well, but frequently speaks without thinking. He's prone to putting his foot in his mouth.
Brief History: Bassi was one of two cubs born to a thrall by an unknown lion. He and his brother were raised as freeborn (or, if that's not cool, they got out of thralldom), and the two eventually became reavers. Bassi aimed to accumulate enough wealth to buy his mother out of slavery, but she died shortly after his brother disappeared on a viking. Rather than allow his grief to consume him, Bassi used the spoils of his vikings to establish a home that might one day keep a family.
Somewhere along the line, he met two outlander sisters who stole his heart. He successfully wooed them and convinced them to return with him to the Stormborn. Though the younger sister is technically a saltwife. Bassi treats them much the same. He's sired two litters, each of which had three cubs. One is Inyoni. (The rest are NPCs)

SoA's Name: Idonea
Original Member? Yes
Desired Rank: Thrall
Brief Personality: Submissive and unquestioning. Pretty much dead broke :C
Brief History: A weary, beaten-down cat. She's been Einarr's thrall longer than anyone ought to. Despite her dutiful, passive nature and her unfailing loyalty, Einarr does not seem to truly appreciate her. She's looked after Einarr since he was a youth, and been everything he's needed her to be.

For my own organizational purposes he'll be added to the list as a freeborn for the time being, and when you've done his viking RP just post it in the Ranks/Rank Changes thread so that I know about it. As for the being raised freeborn, that's possible. His mum probably wouldn't have been raising them (like he would've been adopted by a freeborn or something, I don't know), but it's completely possible for him to have been born a thrall and raised freeborn. Particularly under a different warlord.

Aw. That poor sweet thing. Let me know when you get her JRP/cert done.

SoA's Name: Seqineq
Original Member? Yes
Desired Rank: Freeborn
Brief Personality: Generally pleasant, Seqi is not one to start fights, but she doesn't mind finishing them. That is to say, stepping in to others' fights and bringing them to an end. She likes to swim and can hold her own in friendly bouts of sparring, but she is no great athlete. Her voice is very pleasant, but she does not have any skill for coming up with new music or words, only for singing what someone else has already created. She is a nice, average lioness.
Brief History: Two generations back her grandfather won his askorun and a few seasons later fell for her grandmother, who was of old pride blood. Both of her parents were born in the pride and so was she. She has lived a basically average life.
