Mother Kavati
Father unknown
Siblings Iva (Sarei Stargrazer), Mkali'Rangi(Bloo Starr), Alocer (spottedleef), Waliovaa'Nafsi (Rennekae), Giza'Angani (Aurrie Beaues) Kamau (Shia bean)
Cub's Name: Dubwanakago
Meaning: giant magic
Personality:
From the very beginning is seen as a huge momma's boy. "Mother said..." "If we do that mother would be furious..." and will not grow out of this when he gets older. He is not beyond making his siblings look bad so that favor may shine on him. He will constantly be paranoid about having bad karma due to this, once he begins to understand it. When he feels secure and well loved by his mother he is actually quite nice and loving towards his siblings. And although he is not beyond making them look bad by putting them in foolish situations, I doubt he would ever wish bodily harm on them unless he really broke down or flipped out or something.
He will slowly become equally obsessed with seers and even if he doesn't have the gift he may begin to fake it to please his mother. Everything he does will be to please mother, whether he grows out of this or not will be up to time. He's not exactly a bratty cub by any means, even though he could be considered thus, he's just intelligent and crafty and realizes that somethings need to be done if he wants his mother's love. The only thing that will differ almost instantly from his mother's influence would be her hatred of gods. He will be curious of their powers and influence over mortals. Knowing this would probably infuriate his mother, it is something he does not voice often (or never to her).
In short he will be confident but constantly questioning if he's good enough, have a screwed up sense of what love for others really is and a bit addicted to being like others (as in he will not have a very good idea of who he is, instead choosing to pick traits, ideals & beliefs from those around him).
Prompt #: 4
Prompt Response:
Kago knew, even at a very young age, that to be loved and adored by anyone was something very special, and very much a good goal to have as a lion. But what he wanted more than anything was not for his brothers' and sisters' love and admiration, for those were the only lions he knew so far in his little life, but for the total adoration of his mother. He realized very quickly that to be in her favor meant the world, and he was not like to forget it any time soon. So to live each day and see that Iva was the favorite so far irritated him to no end! It made him feel troubled and nervous, and each day he could understand that his mother did not love him best made him feel sick to his stomach. Something would have to change, he'd decided.
He liked Iva, as well as the rest of his siblings; well enough... but he loved mother most. If he loved mother most she should feel the same, that was just what was fair and right. So far though he hadn't been able to determine why mother liked Iva best... there were three known facts. She'd been born first, which there was nothing he could do about. She might have even been a seer, which Mother spoke of often enough and seemed to love and admire as well. If she was one... well he didn't know how he could top that accept for being one also. He wasn't even sure if he knew what a seer really was, so he'd ignore it for the time being (and he guessed it really wasn't a fact at all). Lastly... Iva looked most like mother and he envied her very much because of it. He looked very much like mother too... but still not as good. Looks were something he could work with though, if he thought hard enough.
Once he found Iva and enticed her to come along and play with him he led her quite a ways from the family. He kept up with constant reminders that everything would be okay, mother wouldn't be angry and they'd be back to their den soon. Sneaking away had been the hard part, was what Kago kept reminding himself. Once he determined they were far enough away he bumped his head into Iva's side. "Hey Iva, would you like to play hunter and prey?" Which was when one lion counted and waited for all of the others to hide, of course.
He liked playing 'hunter' because that was the better thing to be, obviously. As he started to count he peaked a few times, as discreetly as he could. Once he saw Iva moving off his counting trailed off. "Ready or not, here I come~" He called out, with a hint of something not so playful in his voice. After that he suddenly took off, racing back home.
Hopefully Iva would not be able to follow, and he would leave her out there for a while. Then mother would be horrifically angry with her... and wouldn't love her as much anymore! But before he got far he heard Iva scream, yelling out his name. He tripped as he turned to look in surprise, grunting as he hit the ground hard. She was racing right past him! What in the name of gods was going on? She was screaming for him to get up, and as he did so he was greeted with a terrifying sight. A hyena, younger than an adult but older then them, was laughing wildly and headed straight for them. Mixed with the terrifying yells of Iva; You were going to leave me! You were abandoning me to him! it was probably the most unnerving sounds he'd ever heard. He was able to get up and race after his sister, but with each glance over his shoulder he could see the hyena getting closer.
This was bad! Mother would be pissed if they got eaten! And what if he got eaten and Iva got caught and~! He didn't want to think about it! Iva suddenly screeched again, and as he whipped his head back forward he crashed right into her, yowling with pain. Another Hyena had approached from the front, and he thought maybe he heard the laughter of a third. They were surrounding them, but he couldn't fathom what was going on. His little limbs were trembling as he rose to his paws, huddled close to Iva.
"I didn't mean for this to happen!" He cried out, also turning in a slow circle. Suddenly a hyena lunged forward and all that he could think was to protect his sister, even if she was mother's favorite. There was no way he'd ever get to be the favorite if he let Iva die out here. He gave the weakest of roars; laughable at his size and age, and launched himself at the face of the hyena, claws extended.
What came next... was remarkable. A louder, more fierce roar echoed his and suddenly mother was over them, snapping and swatting at the young hyenas! He wasn't sure how long it took for her to scare them off, or when he started crying or even when she'd gotten them back to the den. He just remembered his repeated cries of, "I didn't mean it, I didn't mean to do that..."
He was sure he would remember this failure most of his life, but he also knew it taught him that he'd have to be craftier than that. He wouldn't give up... especially since Iva did not tell on him. No, he'd get his day in the sun.
Plot Ideas
- Eventual interaction with gods when he is older, maybe even for him to fall in love with one.
- Maybe the betrayal of said god, which would cause him to switch to his mother's views on the immortals.
- some sort of injury that would result in a weakness, which he would despise himself for.
- interaction with his siblings, both good and bad, and how they deal with it. For instance, he might try and make Iva look bad a lot more often than he'd do so to Alocer, because he doesn't see Alocer as a threat. (And if any of them are seers and he doesn't actually have the gift... ooh will they have to watch their backs!)
- If he does not turn out to be a seer I would like for his mother to eventually find out that he's been lying about being able to see the future.
- events which force him into understanding that he isn't that great of a lion, and the struggle with if he wants to change his ways or stay the same.
Comments?
Awesome litter, and I love Katavi. I think a long time ago we were going to have her & Fedha meet (My mistie seer who's manipulative and a fairly bad guy, but not an evil guy [eeer though I guess that could be questioned haha]). If you still wanted to do this, it could prove to be interesting. He's finally studying other seers and such so IDK if any of them will be seers but just throwing it out there for some interaction, if you'd like. (I also think Alocer is genius.) |
