(In collaboration with Mtorolite)

Username: fuKurohane
Character Name: Kin sim Nane (He renamed himself upon entering the pride (kin = revenge), if this is allowed? His original name was Nanetaze)
Character Gender: Male
Character Rank: Qyrhyeshti, Muharip
Character Background/Personality: Nanetaze was a rogue, found at the point of dehydration with three cubs - one dead already. They were brought back into the pride and the three of them were nursed back to health. He vaguely remembers being attacked with his mate, and only just escaping with his cubs. The Qyrhyeshti convinced them that it was the Burkuteshti responsible for his mate's apparent death. As a result, he joined the pride and renamed himself Kin sim Nane, fighting fiercely to avenge his mate's memory, and he encourages his children to follow suit. One of his cubs, though, the oldest to survive, doesn't really believe that's what happened. She's never seen lions in the Burkuteshti that looked like the ones that killed her mom.
Appearance: [color palette] A sandy base with mint on top - in a pelt-like shape, think of the brown shape on the back of a wild a**. Purple accents on top of that in whatever way you like. Maybe some kind of pattern or design; anything, really. He will have a daughter that looks not too unlike him, and I will edit in her picture when she arrives.

Username:C.C.G
Character Name: Mosi (first born)
Character Gender: Female
Character Rank: No preference
Character Background/Personality: Mosi is a tank. Marks strewn throughout her flank of old and new battles alike. This Muharip is the first into battle, acting as a battering ram to knock through the opposing forces. What she lacks in speed she makes up with brute strength. Mosi is loyal to her pride and would far prefer to be cut down in comparison to someone else. She is her happiest when in battle and protecting. Personality wise, Mosi is of average intelligence. Though she often mistakes herself for a lion rather than a lioness due to her sheer strength and build. Few males treat her like a female, so she associates herself as a male.
Appearance: This color palette, I trust you to design her as you see fit. xD I'm not sure if mild edits are allowed, but if there is some way you could make her thicker or more bulky looking? It isn't necessary, I could just RP her that way without the SoA appearing as such.

EDIT May 3rd 2012 - Added new form.

Username: Redbud-Tree
Character Name: Kanat bint Cesur (Kanat = wing, Cesur = brave)
Character Gender: Female
Character Rank: Muharip (either pride is fine)
Character Background/Personality: A relatively young warrior, Kanat is a bit leaner than average and correspondingly faster. While her blows lack power,she has the advantage of maneuverability - and the mind to keep up with it. A quick-thinker who lives for the adrenaline rush of battle, Kanat is never so happy as when she is fighting. During battle she is quick, light on her feet, and will often be found with a smile on her face even while injured. Outside of battle, she is a bit more subdued, but still has a sarcastic and witty streak that she has to work hard to contain.
The daughter of warriors who fell in battle at differing times, Kanat's only desire is to prove herself as a warrior in her own right, despite the fact that her fighting style greatly resembles her mother. She's not the greatest of huntresses, as she finds the task boring, but is willing to do her part to ensure the well-being of the pride.
Appearance: Do you have any ideas for what they might look like, specific or vague? The only specific ideas I have in mind are some form of (vaguely)wing shaped marking either near her eye(s) or on a shoulder, hence her name, and that I believe her colors would range more toward the neutral/cooler sort of browns rather than warmer colors.

Username: Redbud-Tree
Character Name: Dikkatsiz sim Keskin (Dikkastsiz = persian for 'careless', Keskin = persian for sharp')
Character Gender: Male (Any lines)
Character Rank: Buruk or Muharip, Burkuteshti
Character Background/Personality: Dikkatsiz was, as his name implies, a careless and energetic youngster, who eagerly threw himself into fights without thought for the consequences. He wasn't so good at hunting, though, and although he took to heart many of the lessons he was taught, he was scatterbrained enough that acting on them never quite worked out. One day, he was brash enough to get into a fight with an older, much larger lion. Well, he won, but it was by the skin of his teeth and he has a fairly pronounced limp to this day. A bit calmer now, he is eager to teach youngsters to stop and think, and maybe even learn from his mistakes rather than their own. He can be a bit bad-tempered to the younger cubs when they try his patience, but he really does mean well for the pride.
Appearance: He has fairly heavy scarring, though the worst of it would be focused on his most visible hind leg (since I didn't specify lines, I'll leave which leg it is up to you). Coloring like a himalayan/siamese cat would be wonderful, as his personality is roughly based on a couple of cats that I used to have. But really, I'm not too picky and you can do whatever you like! Blue eyes are love though, regardless.

Username: Jovi of Shadows
Character Name: Shahdi bint Simin (Happy daughter of Silver - Persian)
Character Gender: Female
Character Rank: Burk Muharip
Character Background/Personality: Charismatic and compassionate to those of the Burk, willing to do what's necessary to protect them from those thieving, murdering, low-life scum- the Qyrhye. She's mostly a hunter, doing what she can to keep their forces fed and thus able to repel attacks from the other side. She takes what she can out of life, attempting to be cheerful in her downtime, but has no disillusions about the danger they all live in. If threatened by the other side she'll show them the business end of her claws, willing to do what all in her pride would to put those mongrels back in their place. Not the best of fighters, but has enough experience to make her competent in a scuffle.
Appearance: Based off a dapple grey horse. Also, scars are love. <3

Username: The Aurrie
Character Name: Basil sim Fath "Brave son of Victory"
Character Gender: Male
Character Rank: Tabip; Either Pride
Character Background/Personality: Basil was born to the warring prides and has had the need to fight and defend his home coursing through his veins since. His cubhood wasn't too unlike that of the others born in his time and though he was a stubborn creature, eager for war and more than willing to fight for his pride, his father coerced him into learning the healing ways of the herbs that grew in the oasis's that they so often fought to protect. He did it begrudgingly, being a hot-headed young thing, but came to understand the value in his earlier training as he aged. His father was preparing him for the inevitable day when fighting would no longer be his strongest suit, so he would not become a burden to the pride. He is not an ancient lion, but he is no longer a young and reckless thing. He nearly died on the field of battle and it was by a little bit of luck and a lot of care from his surviving pridemates that kept him alive. Upon recovering, he retook to the ways of a healer, sticking near to the battles to aid his fallen comrades.
Appearance: Retired, so he should probably have a few scars from old war wounds, ones that have since healed over but were devastating enough to have caused him to retire from his position as Tabip. Otherwise, use this fellow for loose ideas? c: Just have fun!

Username: Chobi_Chocobo
Character Name: Fateen (smart) bint Magdi (praise worthy)
Character Gender: Female (Either the old walking lines or the banged standing lines if possible)
Character Rank: Muharip (Qyrhyeshti )
Character Background/Personality:
Fateen gained her name in high hopes that she would grow up clever. And grow up clever the female did under the guiding wisdom of her parents. She's spent her entire life trying to prove worth to her name and in many cases has succeeded in proving her cleverness by the hunt and as a warrior. She strives for perfection and is very hard on her self when she feels she's failed to live up to her name. Usually she's got a solid head on her shoulders.

This cleverness saved her own skin during a blood bath of a battle. She fought along side her prides members, including her parents, only to be a surviver along with a few other lions. Her parents and quite a few other lions died during that battle. It was Fateens cleverness that got her out alive. Though she still blames her self for not being able to have done more.
Appearance: I like surprises

Username: Chobi_Chocobo
Character Name: Musa (drawn out of water) sim Seref (honor)
Character Gender: Male (any lines)
Character Rank: Muharip (Burkuteshti )
Character Background/Personality:
Musa was found when he was young during a raining season. The cub was taken in with a family who had just given birth to two twin cubs of their own. There he was taken care of well and treated like a true son. Time went on and the young cub grew, as did his ability to observe. It was when his mane started to come in did the young lion notice he didn't look much like his 'parents'. His two brothers noticed too and picked on him relentlessly for being the out cast.

This picking on didn't last long though. The twins and Musa became fast brothers of the hunt. The three of them worked perfectly together up until a miscalculation where the trio may have taken a few to many steps in to territory they shouldn't have. The result was the two twins losing their lives and Musa barely escaping with his own life. Because of this, he feels it is his duty to set things right and avenge his brothers.
Appearance: I like surprises

Username: Maximum the Zinc
Character Name: Faiza Sim Hazima
Character Gender: Male
Character Rank: Burkuteshti Muharip
Character Background/Personality: Faiza is quite proud, often so getting him into situations he can't really handle. He is one to bite off more than he can chew just for the sake of doing so. That said, Faiza has gotten somewhat decent at combat, getting beaten started sticking, and he was able to learn through all the fights he started. He usually doesn't choose any single lion out, but Faiza has always had a sort of vendetta against a particular member of the Qyrhyeshti, often calling out Olu sim Ruh to show his own prowess over, in his opinion, the weaker pride. However, a majority of these have resulted in beaten pride and scars on Faiza's front legs. (Permission from Painted Moose to use Olu in backstory)
Appearance: A battle hardened male, various claw marks from recent fights as well as several scars from deep cuts along his front legs running up to the front of his back. Fur average color for pride with specks of blacks,dark browns, and light browns throughout his mane. The rest would definitely be whatever you wish!

Character Background/Personality:
He can be a very sly and mean, and very lazy. The only thing he could fit for is hunting and its only for him. He is a very fast lion and has a big ego because he likes to be wanted by the female lionesses but he has one in particular he likes.
Appearance: i want him based off a black paint horse and has the body of a new updated, not alternate and the black splotches i don't care where they are. [x] [x] [x]

Character Name: Kuruka sim Tai (fly eagle in Swahili)
Character Gender: Male
Character Rank: No preference
Character Background/Personality: Kuru grew up as a cub of a mother whose father was not part of the pride, bringing in new blood to the pride. Never did he know his father, but his mother keeps reminding him that he's a gentleman, just like his sire. He tries his best to fit in with the other lions, which he seems to do quite a well job at, and enjoys the company of others.
Appearance: can it be based off of some desert eagle?(:

Character Name: Direnc sim Eser
Character Gender: Male (New rouge lines)
Character Rank: Muharip, Qyrhyeshti
Character Background/Personality: Protective and fierce Strazar will always protect what he calls his whether it be his family his lands or his pride. He takes his job very seriously you will not get him to act anything but serious when he is on the job. He does have a lighter view when it comes to family and any cubs around. He absolutely adores cubs and think's that they are one of the most precious things in a pride.
Appearance: dark color's with light accent's.

Username: Ileatea
Character Name: Hazan bint Nuray
Character Gender: Female (any lines)
Character Rank: Borclu, Qyrhyeshti
Character Background/Personality: Calm and quiet hunting has always been what Zdravati has done It is her life. She was abonded by her mother after she had gotten the hand of hunting, her mother not wating to have to deal with a cub following her around. Not knowing how to fight that well she learned to hide and hunt to keep herself safe from harm. She learned to keep herself alive, this failed her one night when she was attacked by a group of hyeneas to large for her to fight on on her own. Finding the Qyrhyeshti was like a miricle to her having managed to barely escape the hyenea's with her life. Injured but not permanently they took her in and as such she tries to repay them with everythign she can.
Appearance: light colors with dark accent's

Meep: All Muharip are both hunters and warriors - some may be better at one or the other, but everyone is expected to do both. Mothers would also not be permitted to abandon their cubs. If you want her to have been abandoned, she could have been found and adopted into the pride as a Borclu rather than born into it.

They both need surnames, as well.

Username: Lilbabe808
Character Name: Akilah bint Mona (given name means “intelligent, wise” and mother's name means “wish, desire”)
Character Gender: Female
Character Rank: Muharip, Qyrhyeshti
Character Background/Personality: Akilah was born into the Qyrhyeshti. She was the only cub to survive the birth. Her mother died shortly after and her father was a rogue. The only one who knew about her father was her mother, who had passed away. She grew up to be smart in a battle. Akilah picks and chooses her battles wisely, never going into a fight without first gaining information on her opponent. Spying is something she does well. If she should ever go against a male, she'll use her feminine wiles on him. While the Qyrhy and Burkut fight a lot, boys will be boys and that is something only natural. She can be a real flirt in battle to get the upper hand. As a female, she is very away of her body movements when fighting. It comes in handy and Akilah makes great use of it. In every day life, she is the type to have fun. Fighting is serious enough and she doesn't want to spread that to how she is when relaxing. Life is nothing without a little fun. She also lives in the moment, taking everything she can get and savoring it.
Appearance: I'd like her coloring to be with this palette. Feel free to use the colors however you want to fit my design. I want her to have small spots around her eyes. It would be nice if she could have a wing marking. She has red eyes. The rest is CC, whatever you think will look good. It would be great if she could be on the rogue alternate lines.

PostPosted: Thu May 03, 2012 2:28 pm


Username: Quaji
Character Name: Aasimah bint Fareess (Protector of Life)
Character Gender: Female ('new' or old updated lines? <3)
Character Rank: Tabip; Burkuteshti
Character Background/Personality: She is a proud and strong lioness in public and never removes that wall, scarcely showing her true emotions even in private. Don't talk about her leg, just don't. It's a sore nerve for her in any conversation and she's likely to dislike the one who mentioned it. The term 'grumpy healer' might help describe her.

- - -

Born to the Burkuteshti, she has known personal hardships since she joined the world. Her litter was small, the cubs undersized as well. Most died from complications shortly after, but it is due to the perseverance of a Tabip that Aasimah is alive today. In her youth, she studied the herbs around the oasis's during any free time she could find to try and be like the one that saved her life. This carried into her adulthood and which eventually led to her retirement.

Aasimah has her share of bloody cuts, scars and fights as any lion, but it wasn't until one trip to a oasis that turned particularly bloody. Of course she had sometimes needed to fight off other lions from the Qyrhyeshti for the precious herbs that she collected, but this was somehow different. She had been double-teamed. Two larger lions had appeared what seemed like nowhere, beat her down, maiming her leg all before her father, who was already in his twilight years, came to her aid.

Despite her and other's efforts, he died only a few weeks after from what was likely infection in the wounds he sustained from defending her. With her leg all but useless to her, she was forced to retire and would have been dead-weight to her pride if not for the knowledge of herbs that that ultimately caused the death of her father.
Appearance: I have this love for silver/icy blue eyes. Scarred obviously, though possibly more heavily on one of her legs which will give her a limp that forced her to retire. Other then that, no idea. Surprise me! <3


Username: Quaji
Character Name: Fareess bint Najya (Life to the Victorious) [I think I got the naming right since Aasimah would have taken her name as her surname. If not, lemme know. <3]
Character Gender: Female (old updated lines~?)
Character Rank: Mahurip; Burkuteshti
Character Background/Personality: Fareess used to be a kinder lioness. That was until her daughter, Aasimah, started taking up the ridiculous habit of leaving alone to study the plants that grew around the water; the water she knew well that the prides fought over. She grew sterner, trying to keep her daughter more on the path of being a brutal warrior like she was but with a feminine touch to her personality while off the battlefield. Her mate on the otherhand seemed to not care quite as much and encouraged Aasimah's habit. She blames her daughter for her mate's early demise while Aasimah looks to reconcile with her mother and move passed it which as caused a bitter relationship between the two though they do still talk, hunt and fight together but only because they are blood, not because they like eachother.
Appearance: She's the mother to Aasimah, so similar to her? Maybe brown/black with the white markings like Aasimah and gold eyes? She's passed her prime, but still a capable fighter despite her age creeping up on her so she'd definitely be pretty scarred up in various places.

Username: [X]Natty-Chan[X]
Character Name: Chinedu sim Dumisani(God leads; Rejoice )
Character Gender: Male (Any lines)
Character Rank: Muharip
Character Background/Personality: Chinedu is a really daring lion. He's overeager and impatient, doing almost everything on a whim. His is often prone to random rash actions, or sometimes, emotions. Some may call him unstable, but he's just an impetuous cat. He also has great energy, being rather playful. Unfortunately, his idea of play takes the form of doing serious stunts.

Being a daredevil, he often finds himself trying dangerous 'tasks', like playing 'chicken'. He even attempts swimming or jumping into large bodies of water. Sometimes he's so adventurous, he puts his life in serious danger and needs a lot of talking out of just to even get him to consider not doing the stunt. Some might find his 'randomness' annoying, others may find his risk taking stupid, but either way, he doesn't let them bother him, as long as he's still having fun. Other than that, he's a good guy, and though he loves company on his 'excursions', he will never let anyone else get hurt.

Now, just because he's naturally playful, doesn't mean that this lion can't be serious. In fact, when he's upset, he tends to show more of his aggressive nature. He's intolerant, short tempered and a bit more prone to violence despite normally always trying to keep others from getting hurt.
Appearance: Feel free to CC from this color palette


Meep: He needs a surname. Also, why is he a Buyuk? Is he old, or was he badly injured? He needs a reason to be retired from actively fighting.

Edited to fix rank and add a surname
