[nice banner here at some point] Milkikubwa is essentially the WD pack concept I began working on since late 06 (and I am really slow). It's been a long time, but I think I've finalized on the information far enough to make this public, and I would like to get the pack up by early next year. Rest assured I plan on actually realizing this at some point! If you have any suggestions, ideas, or think I should expand or edit or even add an idea, please critique me! I am very open to changing things up a little, since this has been... in progress for so many years, it can use a little more sprucing! 8D (I might have forgotten to explain an aspect too, but it's all in my head!) This is first and foremost a recruitment thread for any wild dogs willing to join Milkikubwa. Only wild dogs will be allowed at this point, but in the future, there will be a plot for non-wild dogs to come into the pack. - The Milkikubwa are a militaristic wild dog pack, promoting self-efficacy, fortitude, and general strength in all aspects. While not religious, preferring a realistic and practical way of life, they do hold beliefs in arbitrary things that determine important factors to life (one’s aptitude, mainly). As well, they try to moderate the amount of luxuries they have in life in order to focus more on their training, thus leading to their residence on harsher and drier savanna grounds. Essentially, it's like a "survival of the fittest" pack - members are mostly elitist and treat non-members with low regard. - Inspirations come from the harshness and role within the wolf pack within Arashi no Yoru Ni mixed with some pack militant tenants of Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin mixed with TLK Outlander terrain and ambition. This pack is not supposed to mimic any preexisting concept, but just thought I'd throw those references out there for a better picture for those who know. The three mentioned inspirations came to mind way long after the original idea, and I don't advocate any cosplays from those three coming in unless they would fit in on a personal level. <3

History
The age of the Milkikubwa is said to have existed for centuries, for their members were strong, skillful, and shrewd in matters of survival. It all started when a male wild dog, his name long since lost to the turning of time, had a vision of a paradise in which a selected few would thrive in more ideal conditions. For in his pack, years had gone by in which war over territory of neighboring lion prides was a relentless reality. The pack had once been great, prosperous, and abundant in number, but since the territorial strife had steadily dwindled in population. He had seen many powerful wild dogs fallen in battle; too many important lives were lost. Being egalitarian, the pack then had no organization of those who held more domain over strategies, who should have been directing their war efforts. The pack mixed brilliant minds with those more adept at fighting, and so all wild dogs were soldiers who stopped to retreat only when others started to trickle away shamefully. Many stepped up to lead the way but were rejected by the general consensus, for what criteria was there to determine who would lead? Those who had the Sight reasoned that they had the capability of revealing past, present, and future, but the pack was not interested in knowledge of sporadic moments in time. Those who were clever wanted to trick and convince the pack into letting them lead, but sabotaged each other when they noticed one of their own getting ahead of the rest. Those who were tough and muscular and therefore could take the pack by force were outnumbered, so even if they tried, would have fallen much like their comrades on the battlefield.
This one particular wild dog, however, had both a cunning and calculating mind that accompanied a persuasive tongue, and the brute strength to equally match the top fighters in the pack. His vision helped guide him, and was also what drove him to set out to secure his paradise. Using the vision as a reference to seek out familiar faces he saw in it, the wild dog promised a better life if the member he sought out declared their allegiance. One by one, his declaration was well received (it did help that he had a handsome face for the ladies), and had started to become more than just a secretive affair with those selected individuals. However, he started noticing a pattern in addressing the wild dogs he saw in his vision. Each one he had talked to had some form of asset that benefited themselves and the pack greatly, and exhibited some mental or physical aptitude. Members that could have easily gone unnoticed or fallen without resisting in the battlefield were left out of his vision, and had no place in this new order.
But word did spread out that a single wild dog was trying to take control, and like the previous attempts at assuming authority, there was a backlash. Some wanted to oust him, while others said it was best to ignore conspirators, for they never actually got the power they wanted. Some simply suggested using him as bait for the next territorial conflict. There were mixed feelings amongst the pack members, but the male wild dog did not let that lead his plans astray. Calling on the members who pledged their loyalty, even he was surprised to find almost all of them stepped forth to back him up. Apparently most of them had the same hidden discontentment with the state of their pack. Opposed to the revolution that was starting, the wild dogs that did not get the invitation reacted violently, wishing to eliminate the disturbance of their community. However, though the male wild dog's followers formed a union that was composed of less than half the pack, the majority was no match for the cumulation of the most abled in body and mind, and much of the followers conquered their brethren. Survivors of the weaker faction were confused and addled, not knowing where to retreat, as they had no place to go. The battle occurred at home; if they went elsewhere, they were too few in number and too frail to keep and defend a new land. So some turned tail to the wind, running away by themselves to never be seen again. But some of them turned to the new community, and to the male wild dog who led it all, begging to join. At first, he doubted the idea, as his vision was absent of the weak, allowing only the strong to flourish, but his mercy showed itself when he agreed. They would become slaves, however.
During their journey to a new home, many newly dubbed slaves rejected the idea of being subjected to those who were once their equals. They were easily cast out. But as the days of journeying grew, and as bellies were fed and lions were thwarted thanks to the careful judgment of the leading male, the slaves were beginning to appreciate their new arrangement. They were, for the most part, given nothing to do, or simple menial tasks that required no heavy effort on their part. Feeding off of the hunts provided by the effort of the larger wild dogs working in accordance with those more astute, wise, and knowledgeable allowed for bigger feasts, and less damage and wounds incurred to the pack itself.
It didn't take long for the traveling pack of wild dogs to reach their new land - the one seen in the male's vision of paradise. Everything worked out perfectly, and he was granted the title of king without any hesitation or objection at all.
Though some lions surrounded the area, the king was able to go over and deliberate with them, which resulted in peaceful conclusions. While the wild dogs and lions did not coexist, they each remained in their own territory with no disturbance from the other side. And collectively, this particular wild dog pack stood a much greater threat to any lion than a normal one. So the pack saw prosperity for the first few years, and the first king was able to see his vision played out, and soon took on a queen - the fairest and brightest he knew who was also as capable as he. His queen served as a partial advisor as well as a companion, but the king's word still directed the pride. As time continued to progress, many accomplished members gained roles such as being heads of hunting parties or part of a high advising council. Even the lesser inclined in a society full of the proficient found roles - one had a penchant for entertaining, and was then called the king's jester. And as the pack grew older, so did the king, and the queen bore him children - one of which he picked out as the brightest to name the next king.
For many years, this line of succession continued, and the pack continued to live graciously. As other wandering wild dogs joined, the current king would deem them either worthy enough to join, or fit to be a slave. The title of a slave was still in place, but those who held it still endured it for the benefits and good life. The smart only got smarter by educating themselves and others as more knowledge was accumulated, the strong got stronger by sparring with each other freely, and there was little use for slaves.
However, a shift in the balance sought to change the pack's living dynamics. In a relatively recent era of the pack's history, slaves had started to do more routine and servile duties than normal. The descendants of the original skilled pack had grown used to the presence of slaves, and rationalized that if they were there, why not make them useful? Some slaves were sent out to hunt for what was now considered the elite. Some were sent to fend off an aggressive lion despite greater casualty numbers. All slaves, however, were now required to perform on command from any non-slave member, and most non-slave members took advantage.
As more years passed, despite the reckless jobs the slaves were often required to do, their numbers began climbing while the population of the actual members remained a little more above static. It was obvious to many, but no one spoke of it; the elite shrugged it off as no big deal, and the wary thought talking about it would provoke an early revolt from the slaves. The last king to see the time of the descendants of the original bloodline and his queen gave birth to a single male heir. This king was also gifted with the Sight, and was scared for the future of his pack. For in his vision, he saw nothing. There was no more pack, and he was at a loss of what to do, as he could not imagine what would bring their doom. He, along with the queen, began training their only heir to be tough, and fortunately he had been born with a sharp mind. At a young age, he was able to top some of the best fighters, and outwit the wisest, after given a little more than the standard training. The heir was very young, however, when he was suddenly banished from the pack... No one knew why, where, or how this could have happened, but the slaves saw this, in what they had gathered, as an ending to their generations of ill treatment. There was no one left to rule them, and so the slaves attacked as one entire force. When the non-slave members fought back, they found their claws unsharpened and their skills dull, for they had given all the dirty jobs to their slaves. Though at one point in time the members should have been able to keep the slaves in line, it was not so. It is said the king and queen were the first to have fallen, and the slaves inevitably had to take the lives of those that deemed themselves their masters. Perhaps some had been taken in as slaves to the slaves themselves. Or perhaps few survived on both sides. It was also possible that a nearby pack came by, jealous and embittered by the wealth and workings they saw, and finished off everyone. Whatever the ending, the pack had vanished with a turbulent demise.
Many years later, Nkosi, the exiled heir, came back to the place he once called home to find no one. The scent of cold death lingered in the air, and he departed without another glance. Left only with the last words of his parents when they sent him off to train, to find a better place, and to renew the pack in its old ways, he disciplined himself to hone his skills, and to learn as much as he could during his years of solitude. Never keeping a friend or companion, his focus drove him to master his skills before taking action, until he grew to a young, healthy, and well-seasoned adult. Able only to give vague assessments of what happened to his old pack, he started the mission he was born to do. He met with other wild dogs, easily impressed by his massive size and authoritative attitude, and like the first king who started the lost pack, he asked for allegiance from those he considered having the prowess fit to be a member. With time, he would rebuild the pack he was born to lead, the Milkikubwa.

Milkikubwa - Strong Rule Belief
The Milkikubwa are a militaristic wild dog pack, promoting self-efficacy, fortitude, and general strength in all aspects. While not religious, preferring a realistic and practical way of life, they do hold beliefs in arbitrary things that determine important factors to life (one’s aptitude, mainly). As well, they try to moderate the amount of luxuries they have in life in order to focus more on their training, thus leading to their residence on harsher and drier savanna grounds.
Color
Used as an obvious physical determinant of strength and capabilities, the Milkikubwa are biased towards darker colorations, and prejudiced against the lighter and more colorful. Dark coats are said to be better than light because they help to conceal and camouflage during attacks, especially at night, and are also an indicator of cognitive depth. Light coats, especially white, are more easily spotted within the lands, and are a sign of weakness and a naive mind. Natural coats (browns, tans, grays) are useful in hunting (etc) and are valued, while colorful coats (purple, green, rainbow) are disvalued like white. However, saturation and darkness are key factors in determining strength - if a coat is colorful, for example, but still dark enough to not be sighted easily when hunting, it is as respected as a natural coat.
Eye color also is important in determining aptitude: Red eyes are a good sign for both intelligence and physical strength. Light eye pigments are an indicator of the absence of it, and are frowned upon. Orange, gold, or brown eyes usually mean strength, and blue eyes symbolize wisdom.
Despite their thoughts on coloration, the Milkikubwa understand that there are exceptional individuals who defy their outward appearance, and are regarded highly should they prove their prejudice wrong.
Mating
It is said that having one strong mate will bear strong pups, and members are encouraged to find a mate as skilled as they are to keep a solid bloodline. Because of this, it is unusual for wild dogs of different ranking to mate. If an individual were to take on a mate in a much lower rank, like a high-ranked mating to a follower, they are expected to bear weak pups.
Flings are generally discouraged, but allowable within the pack. When pups have parents that are not together, it can cause weakness as they grow older, or be a major hindrance to training. They are also disliked because most are likely the result of a poor choice in mate, and thus no consideration to a strong bloodline exists.
Rogue breedings are severely frowned upon, and can even bring the wild dog in question a punishment determined by their reasoning for doing so. Breeding with an outsider who has not joined the pack would be forbidden, but is impossible to enforce. It is considered a crime because the strong bloodlines of the pack are seen as being diluted by an unworthy rogue. If a pack member was to take a liking to a rogue, it is encouraged for the rogue to be presented for judgment by the ruling leader and be possibly accepted into the pack.
As far as sexuality goes, the pack will not tolerate same sex pairings. This is considered an abnormality. If any wild dog is observed being attracted to their same sex, they will be cast out from the lands, or killed if the offense is more severe (such as forcing themselves upon another same sex individual, arguing for their case, or keeping a secret relationship).
Naming
Parents like to name their kids with inspirational meanings that may provoke their future potential or competition. Name meanings with “strong”, “clever”, or “best” and similar notions are commonly seen in the pack. Parents would never name their children with a derogatory meaning unless they truly thought their pups would be useless, in which case their family would be shamed. Any positive-sounding name or a name that shows potential would work, really.
Youth
Youth are expected to begin training to be strong at a rather early age, and are educated on many things. There are no roles within the pack that dote on the youth (such as nannies, as it would be considered foolish to have specific wild dogs watching over the young), so youth learn from wherever and whoever they can and generally learn how to be independent at an early age. All youth are treated more or less equally, but are judged at adolescence by the ruling leader on exactly how capable they are, and may begin showing potential to achieve high ranks. Pups that do not show much skill are automatically deemed followers.
Other Species
The pack does not bother with other species, seeing them as not worth their time. Lions are irregularly a bother, and pack members are recommended to not provoke larger predators that pose a threat - they can be defeated, but it is generally not equal to the effort and possible damage that could be inflicted.
Rogues/Outsiders
Any wild dogs wandering near the pack are questioned, and should they show any interest in joining, are brought to the leader for judgment. If not, they are asked to leave so that pack members are not bothered or troubled (should the rogue prove to be a nuisance). Rogues that defy the request to leave are easily kept out by the rest of the pack members.
Familiars
It is unusual to have a lesser creature as a companion, especially if they are very edible, but some wild dogs keep another species close for friendship. It is slightly taboo for a familiar to help the wild dog out, as they may look weak if it occurs.
Leaving
There is generally nothing wrong with leaving, but should the reasoning be to the leader's displeasure, the wild dog in question may not be allowed in the pack again. However, followers have more leeway in abandoning the pack than higher ranking, stronger members. Because members who are not followers contribute more to the pack and are more skilled, their departure should not be without good reason, as they will be missed.
Death
Death is simply death to the pack, and most honorable if received while accomplishing a mighty task (not to be confused with a foolish one). For example, defending the pack from a raging lion would constitute high respect, while getting killed after taunting one will mark the wild dog's death in shame.
Wild dogs are expected to accomplish as many things as they can until their death, and should they have many and die of old age, they are honored in the same way as the valiant who had a less passive cause. Number of strong, healthy offspring also gains the deceased more honor.
If a wild dog had more honor, they might be buried respectfully somewhere meaningful in the pack, and the leader may even show up to honor them. If the deceased wild dog hadn’t particularly done anything notable throughout their life, they are still thought of decently, but may or may not have an official burial.
Gods
While aware that gods exist, the pack believes they are only relevant to lions, as their godly forms are those of lions. However, they are also a bit atheistic in their assertion that these lion gods are glorified versions of lions - nothing that should arouse their attention, in other words.
Tradition Kemele
There is just one tradition these pragmatic wild dogs have called the Kemele – The Call. This usually occurs before a war, big hunt, or anything that elicits attention. When it occurs, the leader calls all wild dogs to congregate together as one to call out with pride.
Shouts of “Mbwaweza/Kelbweza” or “Mbwatamalakiote/Kelbtamalakiote” can be heard, which mean “(Wild) dogs have power” and “(Wild) dogs have power over all”, respectively. By tradition, males use the former word (starting with mbwa), while females use the latter (starting with kelb).
Mwito
Not a tradition per se, but if a wild dog is seen at adolescence by the leader to have a natural affinity for a vocation, the wild dog in question will gain his mwito, or calling. The wild dog is then personally introduced to some of those in their vocation and may start performing their duties more intently. If a wild dog is an adult and still is a follower but wanting to change ranks, this does not occur.
Ranking Default ranking: Youth (cub/juvenile) > Follower (adolescent/adult)
Leader (1/1)
A paragon and idol to all wild dogs in the pack, the leader is the male who possesses strong qualities of all positive physical and mental traits.
Queen (0/1)
Chosen by the leader, the queen is known to be the fairest, wisest, and strongest female of the pack. She is expected to bear the leader strong children and an excellent heir.
Heir (Leader’s pups)
The strongest and smartest male pup of the leader’s is chosen to be the his true heir by adulthood, or sooner if the current leader chooses. At that point, the heir’s siblings will switch to an actual rank, but all pups in the litter will be called heirs until that time.
Advisor (1/1)
The leader chooses his advisor usually based on the wild dog he considers extremely loyal and dedicated to him and the pack while also showing exemplary characteristics. The advisor is expected to be both a constant presence to the leader as well as the rest of the pack, as awareness is key in keeping the pack maintained and well directed. The advisor offers their opinion on most everything important and pertinent to the pack and leader and executes everything the leader commands, and is usually a male.
Captain (1/1)
The captain is the wild dog responsible for overseeing the veterans’ and soldiers’ training. This role may be filled by a male or female, but is mostly a male’s duty. The captain is an expert in military strategy as well as possesses some of the strongest muscles of the pack. The captain may work alongside the advisor, but has equal weight with the advisor on their opinions to the leader regarding war.
Jester (2/?) (filled for now)
More of a respected title, the jester is the wild dog who provides entertainment in whatever way they can for primarily the leader, queen, and their children, secondly, the advisor and captain, and then may serve the rest of the pack. There would normally be one jester, but in certain circumstances a rare exception could be made.
Seer (unlimited)
If a wild dog is able to see the future or past, they may beseech the leader to test their merit. The seer is used especially in dire times to see what may help the pack in preparation for the future. Otherwise, they are allowed to spend their time freely until they are needed by anyone in the pack. Any wild dog pretending to be a seer will eventually be caught and thrown out of the pack at best for their lies.
Veteran (unlimited)
Soldiers who have proven themselves worthy in numerous spars and physical feats, veterans are wild dogs who courageously lead the pack whenever there is a fight, war, or simply something that needs to be defeated.
Soldier (unlimited)
Some of the stronger wild dogs become soldiers, who spend most of their time honing their battle skills and sparring with each other. These wild dogs may be either bulky and strong, or lean and nimble, but equally lethal when taking down their adversary.
Sage (unlimited)
Guides become sages through years of acquired experience, or perhaps when a younger wild dog is simply enlightened beyond their years. Sages tend to know exactly what to do when a problem arises, and can settle something the best way it can be settled. They help everyone else in the pack by teaching what they can and giving advice if requested. As well, sages have a very acute memory, and some also tend to be pseudo historians and storytellers, able to keep the pack tradition and heroic tales alive.
Guide (unlimited)
These wild dogs have quicker thinking reflexes and skills, and are considered very intelligent. They are smart enough to be trusted to teach the youth their knowledge and may actually be the ones who spend the most time helping pups learn and train. The other half of their time is taken by retrieving information within and outside of the pack, sometimes even scouting a little beyond the borders to return with new knowledge.
Follower (unlimited)
While these wild dogs may not have found a specific calling, they are still considered more skilled and able than a regular wild dog. They simply act in roles that need to be filled at whatever time, and do a little both of sparring and learning.
Slave (unlimited)
This is an old title in the pack for those undeserving of equal treatment, but has been abolished due to the rebellion and eventual devastation of the original pack it caused.

Want to join?Remember, right now ICly, Nkosi, the leader, is travelling through the rogue lands to seek out potential members to rebuild this pack. It is without question that any new members would have been subject to his judgment, and would have met Nkosi whether or not we actually have time to get in an RP.
For now, it is assumed that all previous pack members in the pack’s history have completely vanished/died. In the future, there might be a time in which old pack members come back in a plot, but not now. All of the pack’s current members will be wild dogs that Nkosi personally meet and allow to join him.[b][color=red]New member![/color][/b]

Don't have a wild dog?! Never fear, I will be making wild dog freebies to those interested in this pack but do not have any available wild dogs. Just express interest, or quest for a custom idea, and there's a slight chance I might color a wild dog for you. If this occurs, the wild dog in question must join this pack and not leave (unless given permission), otherwise I will take it back. I will also fund all customs intended for the pack (if you manage to get one in custom slots), so if you win a custom, just tell me and I'll send a trade over for you!

I have an idea! WD's name & meaning: Deimos'ketawa meaning Laughing Terror Custom description: [ xxx ] or [ xxx ] + A little of this [ xxx ] Monster mash creations~ VERY CC. Most important and if possible. I would like bi colored eyes and maybe some crazy scars? Preferred rank: Soldier Parents: ? x ? Why is he/she joining? Because, he was apart of a war and went slightly off his rocker and was found and brought back ;D Personality: He was the dog of the military- he was good at following orders and doing everything like he was suppose to. He was slightly- well- we would call him trigger happy. Although whoever knows how to retain that crazy- will have a loyal dog that would fight to the very end with. When not in war- he chuckles and laughs a lot out of no where and may very well love to piss others off. History: He was already apart of a war before- and was tortured and made to kill his own kind to maintain himself alive. It was a nasty business- the ones that captured him did. He went loony to say the least especially since they were his comrades. So very loony he is- and laughed to keep the screams and crying to ease away... But he was saved- and brought back. At first he alienated himself but on his first mission- killing one of the ones who did that to him made him more comfortable and well. Prone to being the gunner and sometimes bait. He is fearless ( Since he only fears himself ).

New Member!Owner: Kamileunaire WD's name & meaning: Michozi Uncert & cert link: xPreferred rank: Veteran Parents: Why is he/she joining? He respects Nkosi as a leader and needs a pack in order to be able to deal with things. He met Nkosi some time during his return to his pack's land and gained his trust, vowing to follow him and help further his goals. Personality: Mich is an outwardly gruff soul, hardened somewhat by a temporarily solitary life in the roguelands. He's strict, and emotionally has a lot of trouble leading a loner's life. He's smart enough to fend for himself, but is a firm believer in pack mentality and working together to make life easier on all involved. He does not often tolerate bickering of any kind, and will not hesitate to put a quick halt to it if he sees it happening. He is eager to forward togetherness and deals with most situations with a calm, cool demeanor. With those he knows well, he can act surprisingly warm, even playful at times, if his trust of them is deep enough. will make this better soon LOLOL History: This may fluctuate as I think more on it, but for now he was a rogue struggling on his own before meeting Nkosi and deciding to join up with him. He probably belonged to a small pack before that met its end somehow, will definitely flesh this out soon. Anything else worth noting about the WD?

New member!
Owner: wooga Paes
WD's name & meaning: Jiska (No meaning that I know of!)
Uncert & cert link: [Certless] [Cert]
Preferred rank: Adviser
Parents: ? x ?
Why is he/she joining? I imagine ICly, after getting fed up with hanging out with Tibuka and promptly chasing him and the other hyenas off, Jiska could meet Nkosi and for whatever reason develop some respect because Nkosi kicks a** or something. 8D
Personality: Jiska is a bit of a grumpy guy, proud, and is actually more of a leader than a follower. Or at least he thinks himself as such. Nonetheless, if he finds someone he believes is worth following, he is extremely loyal and reliable. Rather snarky and snippy to those he doesn't respect, though.
History: He was born the runt of the litter in a small family pack, and got picked on a lot by his siblings. As fate would have it, he grew up to be much larger then any of them, and promptly beat them up and left. : D He led a most of his life in the rogue lands, fighting and occasionally leading small packs, usually ones that didn't last long. Jiska eventually actually made one little pack that stuck, and that little pack will be joining with him! Well, most of it. He met Tibuka, a hyena, and they joined up for a while, with Jiska leading his wild dogs to work together iwth Tibuka's hyenas, just for convenience. Tibuka and Jiska held a grudging respect for each other for a while, but eventually Jiska decided Tibuka wasn't quite worth it and chased him off, along with the other two hyenas that followed him.
Throughout his life he's been in and out of trouble, but has always been clever or strong enough to get out without much damage. He's only screwed up a couple times, which led to a shorter tail and a nick in his ears.
TL;DR. Jiska is a tough guy who's been through a lot and is kinda badass sorta. 8D
Anything else worth noting about the WD? He looks like a cow. c:
New member!
Owner: Kow Bakari
WD's name & meaning: Kow (no meaning) cows.
Uncert & cert link: [Certless] [Cert]
Preferred rank: Soldier
Parents: ? x ?
Why is he/she joining? He's Jiska's little brat.
Personality: Kow was once a rather sweet, kind and playful pup. Sadly, he was exposed to Jiska a bit too soon, and has since become more serious and rough. He's actually pretty darn loyal to Jiska, despite not being treated wonderfully by him. He likes to think Jiska is just rough on him because he wants him to be strong. C:
History: Kow was born somewhere and kind of sort of got lost. Got "adopted" by Jiska. And here we are! : D
Anything else worth noting about the WD? He's not Jiska's son! Just looks like he could be. 8D

Uncert & cert link: [Certless] [Cert]
Preferred rank: Seer
Parents: Kaleaushi'eha x Aine
Why is he/she joining? Joining with Jiska
Personality: She's kind of a blank slate. o: But I know she's a pretty strong seer and has visions rather often.
History: Not much here, she was born and ended up joining Jiska, since, in a pack, it is easier to survive.
Anything else worth noting about the WD? Seerness!

WD's name & meaning: Chaka (Blazing Sun)
Uncert & cert link: [Certless] [Cert]
Preferred rank: Soldier
Parents: Mugen x Eira
Why is he/she joining? With Jiska
Personality: Chaka isn't exactly the sharpest crayon in the box when it comes to social interaction, but as far as fighting goes, she really good. She's a seer, but her visions usually only consist of random fights that happened or would happen. Go figure. As a result of violence filled dreams, Chaka herself is rather violent and tough. The benefit of the dreams is, having a front row seat to so many fights, she's bound to learn some tricks. I think this kind of thing is alright? My reasoning is, seers see stuff from the past, present or future. Chaka's visions just happen to mostly be fights, and if you see fights all the time you can probably learn something. xD No big deal if it's not alright!
History: Nothing exciting here.Always was a rather rough-and-tumble kid, picking fights with siblings and whatnot. Once an adolescent on her own, she was quite happy to join Jiska, because he was a strong dude and she likes hanging out with strong peeps. 8D
Anything else worth noting about the WD? Her colors aren't quiiiite right for the pack. xD But ever since I got her she was supposed to be a pretty good fither, sooo.

WD's name & meaning: Kutu (Rust)
Uncert & cert link: [Certless] [Cert]
Preferred rank: Follower
Parents: Raka x Adia
Why is he/she joining? Surprise surprise! with Jiska xD
Personality: Kutu is a kind of gloomy sort, hasn't always been, though. He's trying to cheer up a bit, deciding he wants to, once again, become a strong and driven individual. Or, at least, become conent with his life.
History: Kutu was actually a prince when he was born, in a small, since dispersed pack called the Mbwa Mwitu. He grew up near the elephant graveyard, and became friends with a Wild Dog, slave to hyenas. He fell in love with this wild dog, and, once older, actually got her pregnant. though he begged her to run away with him, she wouldn't come, and all he could do was take a couple of the pups away. :'C SO SAD. Ended up with Jiska the same way Fajra and Chaka did. His pups having grown up, Kutu was on his own and, when Jiska found him, he was easily persuaded to join, since he had nothing else in life to drive him.
Anything else worth noting about the WD? Nope!

Why is he/she joining? Hmm. I wonder why. 8D
Personality: Kind of blank. xD She's calm and collected, with only a few more playful moments. Happ enough to do what she is told.
History: Eh, same old, same old. Grew up, left parents, ended up with Jiska. xD
Anything else worth noting about the WD? She ahs a twin brother. : D
AND YOU KNOW. I might actually have another one, lawlz. If you want MOAR Wu in your pack. She even fits more than this bunch, color wise. xD

Why is he/she joining? She's a bit of a blank slate, but I imagine she will appreciate the strength of the pack. And Nkosi 8D
Personality: A blank slate, never did anything with her. Let's just say she admires the strong and wishes to become stronger herself. And is kind of inquisitive. : D
History: Nothing worth noting. xD
Anything else worth noting about the WD? Her name is silly.

I have an idea! WD's name & meaning: Wikiwiki - Fast/swift Gender: Female Custom description: Colour template: Colour template. Markings and design are CC.Preferred rank: Guide Parents: N/A Why is she joining? Was thinking that perhaps Nkosi had seen potential in her speed and agility as well as her natural instinct for scouting. Personality: Small, fast and agile, Wikiwiki is a young and easygoing WD with lots of playfulness (borderline ADD) mixed in. She's also an opportunist and will not hesitate to tease/take advantage of another if she feels that she can get away with it. Not one for a direct confrontation, Wikiwiki prefers tactics/stealth over head on combat. Is inwardly proud that not many can match her in a contest of speed and agility. Personality may change as she ages. History:Wikiwiki has admitted that she may have been kicked out from her previous pack because she has a tendency to snatch food/items belonging to others. Met Nkosi when she had tried to steal his prey but plan was foiled when she lost her footing over a slippery rock by the water hole.
