~Rules~ 1. Read everything in the lion's information boxes before trying to enter for them. Some have a pride already, and you should be at least basically familiar with it.
3. I will not force you to RP, but that is part of the point!
4. Keep drama out. Do not tease or otherwise discourage other individuals from applying or participating in any of the contests. Obviously, keep your rudeness to yourself, and don't answer any questions someone asks unless you know the answer without fail.
5. If it is given, you must hold true to the specifications included with each lion. This is especially true of bloodlines! Some of these SoA are related to others and you're not allowed to change that fact.
6. Pay attention to individual rules in each post! There are a lot of different types of events going on here, and each one has their own specification.
7. Spell and grammar check your posts, please.
8. I reserve the right to add rules as needed/as I see fit.
9. You cannot win more than one lion from this event! Contests will be judged first, then raffles will be rolled.

~Vutha: The Lazy Firekin~ Basic Information Vutha still lives with his mother, Kaanga (Mimsey), and father, Upendo'Mpaji (Kaelyndra). He grew up in a huge litter. Some of his siblings were Huria, and have left in adolescence. It seems all of them, except for him, have left home.
His Corporal-ranked sister, Moto'Seide (Kaelyndra), has tried to get him to join both the guard and the Soldiers, but Vutha did not show up for his apprenticeships. It is not hard to find his own place in the pride, but Vutha simply has no interest. Officially, he's a Hunter for the pride, but he doesn't seem to be doing that.
His mother, Kaanga, still loves him, however, and often drags him off to help her teach the children history. He gets stuck with babysitting his mother's friend's children often. This has not, as of yet, chased him from home, though it's probably safe to say he isn't exactly thrilled by the setup.
Family Info
Upendo'Mpaji: Mpaji is an extremely large lion who loves his family. He's still very much a cub at heart, though age has mellowed him.
Kaanga: Kaanga is almost always happy. By many, she would be considered a bit odd. She loves cubs and teaching, and lived through the great war that freed the slaves.
Moto'Seide: Moto'Seide recently received Corporal position in the Military. She's a bit of a cold-cutthroat personality, and is rarely seen smiling. She is dedicated to the Firekin, and is constantly pushing her brother to live up to his full potential.
Contest Info To enter, please fill out the coded form below with the answered prompt and post it in this thread. You can edit your posts, but I do not guarantee I will go back and reread them.
Do not add colors to the format, do not change the font size, or otherwise alter the format. I would like it to stay simple and basic so that my eye sees every entry the same way aesthetically.
Feel free to use family members in your prompts if you would like to.
He was colored originally by DFA and then picked up by Lithia_BrandonPrompt You were supposed to be watching two young cubs, but one of them is missing. How did this happen? Was it negligence on your part, or a freak accident? Now, your mother is coming home, and your sister is with her. How do you explain only having one cub with you? How does the situation get resolved? [align=center][color=black][size=18][b]Entry for Vutha[/b][/size][/color][/align]

Contest Info To enter, please fill out the coded form below.
She was colored by Kaelyndra. Her edits are non-inheritable.

~Bidii: The First Son~ Basic Information Bidii tries hard for his family, but he has never had things quite figured out. He's always been the son that tries to do right, but has always wanted to be a 'bad boy'.
He doesn't share his mother's [Nyumbani, played by Kaelyndra] vision of family first. He's the first to say he'd leave his brother's behind, though he would never betray them or cause them ill-harm on any purpose of his own.
Bidii isn't the smartest of lions. He's not stupid, but he's often so blinded in being the strongest, smartest, and coolest that he forgets how to be all of those things.
Contest Info He is assumed to be a rogue, having left his mother and two brothers in the Mtaishi'miele. To enter, please fill out the coded form below.
He was colored by Chibi_SheepcatPrompt Your mother, Nyumbani, comes to you, saying that your two brothers are in danger. She asks, (or perhaps almost begs?) for your return. But, you left a long time ago, and the journey back is long. Once you get there, your mother is likely to be hell-bent on the idea that you stay permanently. But, it's never been where you thought you were meant to be. What do you tell her, and what do you do? [align=center][color=red][size=18][b]Entry for Bidii[/b][/size][/color][/align]

Entry for Vutha Your Name: Doodle p***s Prompt Response: The cub was missing?! How had he lost her..him....it?! He shook his head, how had this happened? He wasn't sure how one had managed to escape but the other hadnt? The giant paced back and forth, he knew he should have spoken up against becoming a babysitter for his mothers friends, but he had little drive to do it. His tail lashed out behind him as he continued to now hunt for the cub, it couldn't have gotten to far, and wasn't it the prides motto "The strong survive.."? So maybe this was natures way of picking off a weakling? Yeah, his mother, its mother and most likely his dominating sister wouldn't see it that way. What was it with females and cubs?! He didnt get it, with a shake of his head, his nose twitched as he continued to sniff out the hunt, it hadn't gotten to far it seemed, but the voices of his mother and sister were dragging his attention away from the task at hand, he had to find it before they came back, had to. He couldnt take another lecture from his sister, or those...eyes his mother made at him from time to time. A rustling in the bushes caught his attention, he quickly snatched out the creature, hoping it was the cub, but having little care if it was, he scooped up the other and padded towards his mother, dropping what he hoped to be both cubs at her feet, he shot a glare at his sister before grumbling past them. "Im moving out.." He said as he flicked his tail and continued away, he was not going to be someones play ground, baby sitter anymore damnit...Maybe his sisters nagging had finally gotten to him, the days vent sparking fire to the growing pile of fuel that had been building. But whatever the cause, he was off...He was going to go out on his own and find something that brought him happiness. There had to be something right? Free Raffle Ticket, Please!

Entry for Edited Lioness Lioness' Name:Ninaosa Meaning: I combined the names of two female wolves I work with, they are sisters and I thought the names sounded nice together. Nina, is braver than her sister, loyal, and trusting to those she finds a bond with. Osa, is extremely shy and skittish, but has beautiful eyes you can see from a distance when she hides. Your Name: Dragonsrage24 Brief History: Ninaosa does not remember much about her past, where she hailed from, but remembers gold eyes, a pale pelt, and purple markings that once gave her guidance and an urge for song in the silence of the night. After that encounter, during the daylight hours she now sees lines and symbols relative to those on ehr pelt and believes there are messages within the world. Every living and non living creature or object has a purpose, "has a song," she says. To gain her trust, you must feel, and let go, and let the song of your spirit let loose in the green light of the moon. Brief Personality: Ninaosa is conflicted, depending on the time of day, area and individual, she shows one of two "personalities," she can be confident and headstrong, or shy and softspoken. However, she is never to be taken lightly. You will usually find her wandering near dusk and twilight, when the moon rises and creates a pale green light upon the earth. It is then, if you wait long enough in silence and stealth, you can hear her murmur, sing and dance under the moon. Brief Description of Plot Idea with Characters Involved:Sikilizana, what have you done?! Once a female who was just trying to chose between where she fell in the world, now the obsession with symbols and lines clouds her vision during the day. Ninaosa wants to find you, Siki, and know what it means, and where she needs to go to feel home and be at peace.

Entry for Edited Lioness Lioness' Name: Malubog’Damo Meaning: “Swamp Grass” in Filipino Your Name: Redbud-Tree Brief History: Malu was born the third cub in a litter of five, in a small pride that consisted of a handful of mothers, their cubs, and one male. The tiny pride was nomadic, moving throughout the rogue lands, and was very strong in its own, unique form of mysticism. Unfortunately for Malu, the number three was considered to be unlucky, while the intensity of her markings meant that she had strong magic. Put them together on one cub, and this pride saw her as, essentially, a bad-luck magnet. She was allowed to live at the word of her father, but grew up as a free-for-all scapegoat. Ostracized and blamed for everything for a water-hole drying up to one of her half-siblings spraining his paw while trying to chase down a hare, Malu took the rough treatment with a kind of calmness that her mother claimed was proof of her lack of belonging – shouldn’t a daughter of their pride fight for herself, no matter how unlucky she was? Eventually, Malu had enough, and snapped. She managed to severely wound her mother before the rest of the pride drove her out, and has lived on her own ever since. Brief Personality: Malu is a lioness highly distrustful of others, particularly superstitious prides. She’s something of a misanthrope, and does her best to avoid any and everyone the best she can. She’s also extremely leery of any prides that seem to put an emphasis on spirits or magic, due to her status as a scapegoat in her former family. If questioned about her past, she will either refuse to speak at all, or she will snap and forget herself, attacking those who dare to bring up what she feels is better left buried. When approached about other subjects, she is never the first to speak, and often has to be persuaded that it’s worth her while to stick around. Brief Description of Plot Idea with Characters Involved: I would really like her to encounter one or more of the more mystic prides, if just along their borderlands – either to reinforce her dislike of the practice, or to counter her belief with proof that not all mystic prides are bad or threatening. I have some similar ideas with others, perhaps encountering a member of the Jini’Msemi while they’re on a name quest, or the like. There’s nothing truly specific, yet, just a few ideas. I’m not particular on who would be involved, but I would be very flexible. Free Raffle Ticket, Please!

Entry for Vutha Your Name: DragonsRage24 Prompt Response: Vutha sat, annoyed, grinding his teeth together watching the cub try and escape from underneath teh weight of Vutha's left paw on the cub's tiny tail. Blinking, gold eyes watched him, the small, lesser male still growing. Growing frustrated now, attempting to roar.
"Please," Vutha spoke, rolling his eyes. The cub tried to snarl at him, right at Vutha's face, inches away and -he squeaked.
"...Really?"
The cubs ears fell back, eyes growing wide.
Then it started crying.
Vutha's ears plastered against his skull and he mixed a moan with a roar as he spotted his mother and sister coming up over the dune, no doubt because of the brat's crying.
"No, no, no, no-" Kaanga spoke, trying to hush the small cub, "all right, it's all right," and she batted at Vutha's paw, and he lifted it up releasing his small prize, happy to be rid of the whelp.
"I'm not a baby sitter-" he spoke, but his mother was preoccupied. She always did love cubs, her own so much as well, he wondered how hard it had been for her to watch them go...
"Vutha-"
"What?" he sighed, turning to his sister.
"Where is the other one?"
Kaanga's head snapped up, looking from the one cub between her forepaws, and then to the empty dunes around her. Only small sticks protruded from the ground while the sands were pushed around.
"There was only one."
"Two! I gave you two!" Kaanga said nervously.
"Are you kidding me?" Moto'Seide snarled, "you can't even do one thing, one thing like watching two cubs? What's wrong with you? You don't want to fight, guard, or hunt, and now you can't watch two cubs? What's wrong with you?" She was angry, letting her emotions, possibly even her promotion, getting to her blood.
Vutha grit his jaw together, and turned his face away from her.
"When?"
"When what?"
"When did you lose her! The other cub!"
"Oh, now I remember, I ate her, hungry work, watching cubs. The boy was a little small. Like them plump," Vutha said with a wink, and started walking away.
Kaanga looked to Moto'Seide who had a dumbfounded loko on ehr face.
"You-you what?"
"Poke the stick." Vutha said simply, a few strides away.'
Moto'Seide looked to the one beside her, sniffed it then touched it.
It wiggled.
Soon the mound of sand exploded revealed a red pelted cub who squealed with delight.
"Did I win?" she asked, bright eyed, covered in sand.
"Win what?"
"The grumpy lion said if I hid long enough, you'd give me some water."
...
Vutha was well over the dunes by the time he heard his sister screaming his name. He was running for the border, and this time, he wondered if he could make it. But every time he tried, every time he wanted to leave to find his siblings, and he couldn't.
How could he be a warrior, if he did not have the courage to charge into battle, let alone after his siblings?
How could he be a guard, if he couldn't stay at the borders long, becoming melancholy wishing to see their faces?
How could he hunt, not knowing if they were eating well?
How could he watch cubs, teach them, when he didn't know if his siblings had families of their own to teach.
He wished to find the strength, and hoped through everything, even the drought, it would find him soon, for the fire in his heart was fading like the sunlight before the coming night, and he couldn't let his family know.
