Applying for: Jiryan x Kenna
Name of SoA: Touketsu Kaen
Meaning: Frozen Flame
Gender: Male
Appearance: I could go through a list of all the little inspirations I got if you'd like but for now I'll just say he's a mishmosh of markings from both sides of the family honestly with a little bit of exaggeration on some of the markings and a few of my own little inspirations thrown in from a custom I sort of adapted to suit. Taking a page out of Kai's book to describe marking inspiration:
Modified shoulder markings (they're on both sides) idea inspired by Kenna's Brother.
White base fur from Calida who also influenced shoulder markings.
Reverse leg markings inspired by Sindri and he also influenced shoulder marking.
Modified tail stripes inspired by Jiryan's Brother and Azula.
Black muzzle and eyemarkings from Jiryan's Sister.
Claw marks on front paws from Afzal.
Red toes (and white) on hind legs from Ifu.
Modified red eye markings inspired by Jiryan and Vulcan.
Highly modified and upside down version of Kiasi's forehead marking.
Mane and tail inspiration (not shown on ref), with added red striping, from Akamu.


Visual reference: Cubby Ref
Personality: So, I chose "frozen flame" for his name because his base coat is white and he's a little Moto baby. White always makes me think of things like ice and snow, so it made sense on that level. Thinking about his personality though I suppose it could also be referring to his cold personality. Well, not really cold persay but Ketsu is like a rock. Perhaps a mountain would be a better description though. This kid is stubborn as anything and can't be budged when he's made a decision. Whether it's the right one or not he'll deal with whatever consequences his actions should bring upon him. Likewise, when it comes to a fight he's the sort of kid that, unless he has a reason to fight (defending someone else or something he believes in), he can't be antagonized into one. He'll take the bites and scratches in stride if it's necessary but he won't be baited by petty insults or anything of that nature. It isn't that he's a coward or that he's kind and he doesn't feel the reason he does or doesn't choose to fight is honor bound. Most of the time he just won't be bothered, but that isn't to say that he isn't particularly reckless or cut throat once you get him going, only that it takes very particular triggers to set him off. And that I'm not sure why you'd want to set him off considering he is more than likely going to make you regret it.

Ketsu also isn't a big talker, but whenever he does speak it's usually quite profound, wise beyond his years or startlingly witty as most would tend to assume that his lack of outspokenness stems from a slow mind which isn't the case at all as many will quickly discover. He's not really friendly but not an a** either, he just wears a layer of stoic indifference and impassiveness towards most people and situations and it's the few that can make him feel anything at all that wind up getting under his skin (whether in a bad way or a good one is entirely up to them).

Any additional requirements that the family has: Keep colors and markings relatively within the family. No disrespectful or ridiculously rebellious cubs. If staying in the firekin must follow their rules.

xD;; Reference Added! And.. o no;; I'm sorry if his personality mimics any of the other entries. I honestly didn't read any of them until after I wrote this (just skimmed the ref images), but now I'm noticing that he sounds similar to some of them so I've tried to clarify his personality a bit.

Posting this in this thread now! Will be open for 24 hours. ^^

Applying for: Bwana/Kalenda
Name of SoA: Wanasema'Kunyota (Wana for short)
Meaning: She speaks to stars
Gender: Female
Appearance: The dark violet base of her father with the blue/purple glowing markings of her mother. Her eyes should be blue, and her ears black-tipped. Her mane/tail should also be of her mother's color. I'd like her to have some of her father's spots under her eyes, as well as around her neckline, in the same color of her mother's markings. As far as the glowing marks go, maybe some accents around her eyes, and over her back? I leave the ultimate design of these up to the colorist because I stink at making these designs myself. wink Sucking at art FTW!!
Visual reference: N/A
Personality: Wana was named for her ambitions. Wanasema'Kunyota is a name that both reflects the dreamy nature of this cub, and the lofty goals she reaches for. It's not that Wana is discontent with her life; nothing could be further from the truth, actually. She loves her family and she thinks highly of herself, but she's always had aspirations for more. She justifies her struggle for personal achievement in saying that her loved ones will benefit too, but in reality, the real reason might be more along the lines of proving to herself that she can do it.

Though certainly pretty and feminine in appearance, Wana never truly settled into a female's role. Though not quite a tomboy, she would rather tumble with the boys than preen, and when she grows older she'll be much more interested in hunting and her dreams of glory than settling down and raising cubs. Unless, of course, that somehow improved her chances of being recognized as the royal heir.

That's not to say that being Queen is Wana's only goal, either. Anything Wana happens to want at any given time becomes a new plot, a test to prove herself capable. For all her vanity and desires, Wana is actually fairly insecure. She hides it well, but she's full of worry about the future and terrified at her own lack of control of it. In the end, many of her personal goals may be chalked up to trying to take control of her own destiny. But in all truth, even though her dreams may not always work out in the end, what Wana really loves is chasing them.

Any additional requirements that the family has: This wasn't a requirement, but the character was based (loosely!) off Lady Macbeth. Also, I have no problem keeping her in the pride. smile

Wow! biggrin Thank you so much for accepting me! I very much look forward to RPing with you!

Do you allow randoms into your litter: Yes
A bit of history about the family: Uh... Just a fling. XD Both parents will be taking care of cubs, but they're not long-term mates or anything. XP Karvanis believes himself to be a superhero, so he goes around and protects and helps others. Natsu's a skilled healer without a mean bone in her body. Natsu's muse is plants, and Karvanis' is stars.
Extra: Include a brief personality? We like images, too, but I suppose they're not required.

Name and image of Father:Aadi

Name and image of Mother: Amaranta

Number of cubs currently in litter: 4
Number of cubs you're allowing to custom in: 2 (But we are going to be picky)
Pride/pack/etc they will live in: Binadamu
Any Requirements: Must look like the parents! Ones that have little light color would be prefered.
List of all Throwbacks:
Do you allow randoms into your litter: No
A bit of history about the family: Amaranta was born into the pride, a daughter of the pride elder. As such she is prim proper. She spent her childhood going through intensive training and has learned all the correct things to do. Since she has drifted away from her family due to Aadi joining the pride. Amaranta is still a little about business, but there is no denying her love for Aadi, she feels for him in away that she never thought possible. Aadi was an only child, and he lived with just his mother he wondered the nights and thats how he met Amaranta. After taking care of his past he came back for his love and now lives in the pride with her.
Extra: This couple loves each other a lot. The cubs have quite a number of aunts and uncles in the pride who would protect them. Due to this reason there would be NO chance of cub napping. We would also prefer people who are going to keep their soa in the pride and rp them. I know life gets busy cause even myself I havent been able to rp as much as I like, but we want these cubs to exist and be rped.

Closing Time: Will post after the cubs have arrived. Also Ref images would be loved.
Should also note that the pride tends to use Latin names.
