Rank me BABY
Name: Tompa Mokri 'Rain's Voice in Na'vi'
Your name: Zero and below
Rank: Tse'a Kame
Tse’a is to see in a physical sense. Kame is to see into (beyond the
physical sense). Basically this means the boy uses things he see's and studies to predict things, almost like he is gifted. Whether the powers are real or there just predictions that can make anything believable, they believe this young cub. He is also responsible for watching out for any other gifted 'or seers' within his pride and helping them to learn and control there ability.

**Whether he is really gifted depends if he can get rolled as a seer or not

How he obtained this rank was from that of which his birth. Being fourth born left him out of question to really have a good shot at heir, thus to him it seemed his pride had a lot more attention towards the older siblings.
Tompa Mokri grew always wishing he could stick out from his siblings so one day he went out to study his pride. After coming across a blue beetle with dew on it he told his mother that the pride should expect heavy rainfall but not to worry for it would bring new life. sure enough the following suns the pride received a downfall of rain, too much rain. But after the rains new life in the lands began to grow, trees were greener and plants blossomed. It was then his mother and father gave him his own special rank Tse'a Kame. To see with body and with mind.

Rank me BABY
Name: Kalin Tì’eylan (Sweet Friendship)
Your name: magnadearel
Rank: Familiar Breeder
Description- These lions spend their days tending, raising, and breeding familiars for others of the pride. They have indepth knowledge of the ailments and cures for the different familiars. They do the general tending of all familiars for the pride. In particular for un-partnered familiars, however, they will care for one if his/her lion partner must leave for a time.

They help young lions in choosing their perfect familiar. Each type is shown to and explained in depth about the care and needs. When a specific familiar is wanted but isn't available they it go out in search for the wanted familiar. They will travel far and wind to find it.

Kalin is a sweet soul. He doesn't care much for fighting or killing. As a result, he looked for another rank than Warrior or Hunter. The tender care needed for the young and sick familiar touched a spark within him. He picked Familiar Breeder because he would delight in seeing a young familiar grow and find their forever partner.

The stars above me shine brightly
Name: Zerua'izar (starry sky in Basque)
Your name: pinchmonster
Backstory: Zerua was born into the pride to loving parents. She was taught to love and to laugh, and Zerua found much pleasure in singing. It was said her voice could speak to Eywa herself. Zerua'izar loved to share her gift of song with her pride. Things changed after her parents were killed while on a hunt - a simple accident that could not have been foreseen. When the hunting party returned to the pride with the bodies of her mother and father, Zerua screamed. It was a sound of lost hope, a broken soul, the deepest grief. After that, Zerua would not sing. Whispers around the pride said that her grieving cries broke her voice. Now she lives her days as a preist, one who prefers to manage burials and helping those who have lost a loved one deal with their grief.
Rank: Priest~

The stars above me shine brightly
Name: Nyatia'leli which means "stalker of the night" in Swahili
Your name: Talencia
Backstory: As a cub, Nyatia was very light-hearted and joyful. Many speculated that she would grow to become an enthusiastic artisan, full of energy and music. She laughed often and was the merriest of playmates. She grew strong and tall as a juve, though she showed little interest in becoming a singer or dancer. When she became an adolescent, she apprenticed to become a hunter, for she loved to stalk and chase.

It was very early in her training when a life-changing event happened. She and her teacher were stalking a female hooved prey, the nimble, powerful ones that could fleetly navigate the jungle. Neither teacher nor student were aware that the doe had a mate, who was determined to keep all from her. It was mating season, and his fury was high, for many had tried to steal his female! Swift and quiet, he charged Nyatia, leaping at her from behind. She caught sight or scent of him in time to twist her body to the side. One of the sharp hooves scored her flank, leaving a deep gash in her hindquarter. With a roar she turned on the infuriated male buck and took him down, with the assistance of her teacher, despite the profusely bleeding wound.

The tribe said that it must have lit a fire within her, for from that day she was fiercer, more determined, and much more dangerous to anything she turned her claws to. Becoming a hunter no longer was enough for the brightly rising star, and she took to apprenticing as a warrior instead. A scar still marks her hind leg, but all view it as her mark of honor, visible proof of when she truly chose her life. Many speculate that the buck was her animal of strength, but she has never shared the truth with anyone.

She prefers the time of darkness, of stars, and of night noises to do her patrolling and protecting. Her coloring is part of why, though she finds distinct beauty in the jungle at night that few seldom see. She still laughs often and easily, but when it is time to work, she is all seriousness. She protects her pride with every fiber of her being, and never would do anything to betray the trust they have in her as a warrior.
Rank: Warrior

Personalize me baby
Name: Tìrey'mokri [Life Voice- Na'vi]
Your name ChezaRain
Rank: Artisan
Personality As a cub, he's very embarrassed about the fact he can sing as well as a female and, because of that, he's normally very quiet. That doesn't prevent him, however, from being warmhearted and kind to those around him. He lends a helping paw to those who need it, and, in secret, will sing softly to those he trusts won't "tell on him".

Personalize me baby
Name: Tsanten'itan Singer of Songs
Your name Lorne_Sionn
Rank: Awve Tìrol – First Singer
Personality As a cub Tsanten'itan is curious and clever, always into something, and it usually is trouble, but one thing that stops him dead is listening to the songs of his Pride. He will sit in rapt fascination and already knows most of them by heart.

As an adult Tsanten'itan is very warm and welcoming. He is the typical teacher, singer, artist who knows his position within the Pride is as important as those of the heirs. To him falls the job of teaching the songs, leading them, remembering them, and passing them on, all which he does with a steadfast and charming nature. He is the one of the royal family all in the village are comfortable with and appears to be friends with them all, although he seems to be best with cubs, always patient and kind with them, maybe remembering his own days of trouble and if he seems them being to rowdy, he happily engages them in one of the Childern's Songs that teaches them about Eywa and their Pride.

Songs he is responsible for: The First Songs, Childern's Songs, Hunt Songs, Mourning Songs, Home Tree Songs, War Songs, Ritual Songs. He is not responsible for Personal Songs in any way as those are between the feline and Ewya, nor will he deal with the Dream Hunt Songs.

( A description of these songs can be found by clicking on this link)

Rank me BABY
Name: Txep'tey - Na'vi for 'Keeper of Dreams'
Your name: Tanakako
Rank: Master of the Dream Hunt
Background to the Dream Hunt: "The Dream Hunt (Na'vi name: Uniltaron) is a rite of passage, in which Na'vi seek their spirit animal. During a chemically induced trance caused by the bite of an arachnoid and swallowing a glow worm, they express themselves musically as the spirit moves.
Uniltaron songs are especially interesting. While under the chemically induced effects that mark the Dream Hunt, a Na'vi may utilize any kind of expression: standard social song structures, imitations of domestic cascading vocal style, children's songs from deep in their memories, wildly improvised songs or chants. The only type of songs not heard in this context are personal songs and the ritual songs of mourning."

The 'Master of Dreams/Master of the Dream Hunt' (Like the human station of 'Master of Cerimonies') is a position of great importance and respect, for it is this lion that prepares and guides the Dream Hunt cerimony. The posiiton is a part of the priesthood and yet it is distanced from regular priests. The lion in this position is in charge of gathering and procesing all the ingedients needed for the Dream Hunt cerimony. He is also in charge of the cerimony itself, the area it will take place within, and will guide the pride member as they go on their spiritual journey to find their spirit animal.

To attain this role, the heir will go through regular priest training, and then will be trained in the Master of Dream's position.

Txep'tey often uses his own body to aid the dream hunter on their path. As they start to fall, he will weave and dance before them, using his dark coat and subtle markings to help induce the trance.

The stars above me shine brightly
Name: Sylwanin meaning Weaver for Eywa
Your name: Lorne_Sionn
Backstory: Sylwanin's cubhood was very typical of any cub and she remembers it with great fondness, knowing that it is these type of memories that will shape the Pride's future now that the war is over.

She remembers learning the skill that she employs now at her grandmother's knee, of batting at the bright, tightly woven vines, broad and narrow leafed plants, and certainly of the games her grandmother would make up when they went hunting for the bioluminescent fungus, mosses and bugs that helped them dye the jewelery, hammocks and baskets they wove. She was always beside her grandmother. Often the Hometree songs that are sung bring back those memories, and she joins in them as her paws and teeth steadily work on the beautiful creations of her mind's eye. Sylwanin is glad there is singing again, and hopes to someday teach her own cubs the songs and craft of their family. Knowing they will hear their great-grandmother's voice in the whispering of Eywa now that she has joined the Goddess.

Sylwanin prefers not to think of the dark times now, of the Time of Sorrows, when all her skill and craft was used for was for shrouds to bury the dead, or harnesses to carry ways of war to the enemy lions. For her, those times are best remembered only in songs and the scars every one carries within them. The quiet, skillful weaver, pours out the deep emotions that are in her heart into her craft, and has created some beautiful pieces of art that she is proud to see the Pride wearing. Whimsical and delicate pieces, and intricate detailed ones, a far cry from the utilitarian creations of the past few years. Her pride and joy however are the hammocks she now makes, lively colored and stylized with the creatures and plants of their home, Sylwanin rejoices in their making and each one is a gift, not only to the lion she makes it for, but to Eywa and the peace that has finally come.

Rank: Artisan, Weaver.

For the boy twin
Name: Kxanì Ipxa (Forbidden Fern in Na’vi)
Screen name: magnadearel

How does he feel about having a twin He loves his twin dearly, and thanks Ewya for her every day. Because they are twins, Kxanì thinks they must do all they can to stand on their own.
Rank; Warrior

Name: Saagar’Tarang (Sea/Deep’Ripple in Hindi) aka Sata
Your name Mogami
Rank: Whisperer! A Whisperer has a deep understanding of the creatures of the forest with whom he bonds deeply. They help him (or her) watch the borders, find disturbances and maintain the wellbeing of their home. A Whisperer will often feel more comfortable around the jungle creatures then the rest of his pride members. As such, there is an old saying going around which humorously states that Whisperers only marry other Whisperers - not necessarily true but it does seem to happen more often than not. Should a lion wish to have a companion, they may address a Whisperer who will look for a compatible creature.
The jungle animals often follow Whisperers around but they should never be considered “tamed” because the relationship between them is one of trust and respect. Animals who are sick, very old or in terrible pain will (rarely) approach a Whisperer they accept and offer their lives to their feline brothers. This is seen as a sign of the great trust and deep bond between the Whisperer and Ewya and proof that the Whisperer is doing his job properly. Creatures bonded with the Whisperers are usually marked and should not be harmed by the pride members.
Personality While most around him seemed to be in tune with Ewya in general, Sata always felt a special connection with the creatures of the jungle. Ever since he was a cub, this bright boy could instinctively tell what they were feeling or thinking, anticipating their reactions with unusual ease. The creatures slowly accepted the presence of the harmless cub and Sata often found their company almost as fulfilling as that of that his own family, taking every opportunity he could find to explore the deep jungle and make new friends. He is a bright and happy cub with a nose for adventure, full of energy and wishful thinking. His future career choice will come as a surprise to no one, of course. Because of his deep understanding of the jungle animals, Sata will find hunting particular excruciating when he grows up.

Rank me BABY
Name: Teylar (my name in the random Na’vi Generator. Not a real translation… xD) or Txon’ong (Na’vi for nightfall)
Your name: Mogami
Rank: Story Keeper – A sort of historian role. There are only three Story Keepers at any given time. Together, the trio discusses the history of the pride and registers the events of the present with uncanny accuracy. They will share the wisdom of time through epic stories and beautiful poems during festivals but they’ll always do their best to stay true to facts. On a more particular level, they are the keepers of each family’s Story (whether because it is common knowledge or because the families themselves wish to leave their experiences behind). It is not uncommon for elder members of the pride to spend a few days with a Story Keeper when they feel their end draws near.
Owner of a prodigious memory, the Story Keepers know all the family lines and make sure there is no inbreeding between the pride members – they may even be consulted before a union is formed between two members. The Story Keepers will also gather knowledge from outside the pride when a new member is accepted especially if there’s a lesson to be learned from the new member’s past. Story Keepers will only step down when old age prevents them from fulfilling their role and each will chose one young lion with a good mind to take their place.
Teylar was a very quiet cub so it might take a while before others realize just how clever and observant he is. When they do realize it, they’ll most likely encourage his thirst for knowledge and when he reaches adolescence, he will be groomed into the newest Story Keeper - replacing the oldest member of the trio. Teylar doesn’t have an ounce of wickedness in him. He is at peace with the world around him and loves nothing more than to just sit and observe.
