(I'm gonna find a cert symbol to pop in this spot lol )


The above links to the pride info! Please familiarize yourself with it if you don't know the pride, and make sure to explore the forum and check out the other houses!

As you can see, Rasul, back in June, had a lioness catch up to him... And dump four very hyper and extremely unruly cubs on him! While there's no shortage of lions willing to help him with the boisterous litter, he's putting forth a firm chin and bearing the brunt of the biting and clawing and general rough housing! But they need a little something more... Someone to... RP them!

exclaim Rules! exclaim
1. These cubs MUST stay in the Tianxia! They may go into other Houses, though - Don't restrict yourself to ONLY the Central House if you feel your cub may be better suited to another House! If you remove the cub from the pride, though, I will ask that you give it back so I can rehome it for violation of my first and most important rule.
2. They come with a family name! It's Hong! For males, it means "Wild goose," while for females it means "Red" (Red is a sign of good luck in China!) - This part of their name MUST not change! Which leads to...
3. You do NOT have to keep the non-surname I give the cub in the contest! I only did that for RP purposes - Rasul will mention in his formal JRP these names, but considering changing them for the girls and the brown and black boy. If you choose another name, assume he's changed his mind on the original name ICly heart
4. While the rest of the litter dates from June(Technically), the blue-eyed girl dates from July - This is because nobody applied for the litter custom when it was open, and I customed a random for this litter. This means you cannot have gotten a litter custom in July to enter for her!
5. Do NOT pester me to hurry up and judge ANY part of this! It's incredibly RUDE and I WILL skip over you if you do it! I have my reasons for this, do not question them.
6. No sore losers - Do not ho hum that you didn't win! I will not be upset if you say "Darn, not this time, maybe next" etc., though!
7. While I won't say no evil cubs(Oooh, now there's a break from the usual! lol ), I will say that if they ARE evil, try to keep it ICly hidden, and don't let it get the cub kicked out! See rule one. (And there reason for me to NOT say "no evil" is... See Rasul's background. He's also a general a**, so there's no doubt this would rub off onto any of his kids)
8. I know it's becoming a really big THING to have gay/lesbian lions, but I don't think it'd be in Rasul's personality to particularly LIKE any of his kids swinging that way. Remember, he's an a** - He'd mercilessly tease them for it, cub or not. Remember, he grabbed a cub in the roguelands and took her as a PERSONAL slave, so he's NOT above such things.
9. The Outside names of the cubs need to be Arabic! More a... Formality of Rasul.
10. You may enter for all that are applicable to you(So if you got no July litter custom, you can enter for all; If you got a litter custom, you can only enter for the first two) - But you may only win ONE!
11. There was another thing I was gonna include, but I can't remember what the hell it was xd ;; I'LL PROBABLY REMEMBER IT ON THE TOILET!

Beginning date: Today!
Beginning time: 11pm EST
Ending date: September 23
Ending time: TBD (I need to check what I work that day)

Oh yeah, one moore thiiing! Norp informed me when she gave me the last cub(No details there for you! -Swats with a paper fan-) - The cubs are due to grow soon, so they MAY hit juve before the contest ends xd ;

Here, have a little family and pride info!

User Image - Rasul/Hong Lei - Rasul outside, Hong Lei inside, this is the father of the litter. He's got a complicated family history, being born in the Aikanaro'hini to a mother and father he now wonders if they were delusional to think themselves demons(He's not ENTIRELY sure how he feels on the matter, and is still very in the air). His mother herself had been born and raised in the pride, while his father had joined, the son of a rogue lioness and a Firekin. Because of these two gene sources, he's a rather large lion in his own right, but also very scrawny. He left the Aikanaro already well into adulthood. Normally he'd be very unkept and smelly, but being in the Central House has made him stay clean. His rank is Royal Guard. Somewhere in his journey from the AH to the Tianxia, he met a lioness, and then she tracked him down and dumped four cubs on him.

User Image - Ponton/Hong Fèi Chuán - Ponton is the younger brother and the third born of the litter(So their mother tells Rasul). He takes VERY much after his ancestrally huge size, even now, and even has their father's volatile temper... And a far shorter fuse, to boot. He's also a confirmed ankle biter. Rasul is working on trying to get him to control his temper.

I'm not done putting some lions in, there's also a lioness that followed Rasul from the Aikanaro that he'd treated as his OWN slave before he left xd

Pride

These cubs are coming into the Tianxia! Rasul is in the Central House, therefore they are, too! Possible friends would be the royal cubs(Provided Rasul lets these guys NEAR them... Assume he may not). Because of where they're growing up, the cubs are expected to show a great deal of manners... Even bathing, regardless of liking to or not.

This is the oldest brother in the litter! As far as markings go, he takes the MOST after Rasul, but he got their mother's eyes! Currently, these are his Outside/Inside names:

Arabic: Aqil (Meaning "intelligent, quiet, well-trained")
Chinese: Hong Tengfei (Meaning "Wild goose soaring high")

Fill out this form for him!

This is the oldest sister! She shows off some throwbacks from Rasul's father's side(Her facial markings and the fact she has a back stripe as well as the boot markings on her back legs are a throwback to his paternal grandmother, Ishara, while her front leg markings are a throwback to his paternal grandfather, Bodaway), and a bit of Mom on her(Spots on the back stripe)! I do apologize now that her markings seem to blend in with her lineart, I think PB ate the exact shade and turned it just solid black ;o;

These are her Outside and Inside names!

Arabic: Najwa (Meaning "A secret")
Chinese: Hong Ruolan (Meaning "Red (sign of good luck) like an orchid")

She seems to be the most volatile of the sisters... Best not cross her.

Fill out the following form for her! The name of the game is FLOWERS, remember that! I want you to paint me a flower! Either do it on the computer, or do it RL! But let's make this more challenging, shall we? I want you to take a picture of your computer screen if you did the flower on the computer, with a piece of paper that includes your username and something about this contest! The same applies for any RL paintings! This is to prove to me that you actually did it yourself wink

And for the sake of not killing anyone, when you put the image in, please post the thumbnail and link to the big image - Just add th_ to the beginning of the file name(So it'd be "album/th_file.type"). I'd also like you to please direct link to the image itself, not the... view¤t thing, mostly because PB's been acting up and it may be killing it if people are linking like that Oo; -Punts PB-

This is the last born of the litter! She's in the middle between her two oldest siblings as far as markings go on looking like Rasul and throwbacks! She also has a ginger tail. Total win. She is ALSO a litter custom! She counts for the month of July, so remember that if you customed into ANY litters in July, you CANNOT enter for her!

These are her Outside/Inside names!

Arabic: Lamis (Meaning "Soft" - Hey, even Rasul has a soft spot xd )
Chinese: Hong Yun (Meaning "Red (sign of good luck) clouds)

The name of her game is... A curious raffle! Please read the form carefully to understand, because I will be dividing the entries between TWO lists! First I will roll WHICH list to pull from, and then roll a number from it! To enter for her, fill out the following form!

I have a question. Is the oldest girl being judged by artistic ability on the painting? *Not very good at painting flowers in either media*

Just a bit, yes. But there's also color theory to consider - So you could easily make a purple flower with green fringe, and I could find that lovely and appealing, even if it's not a realistic coloration of a flower xd

Tell me about his personality! Make it short!: Aqil didn't fall far from the tree, so to speak. He's a bit cocky as a cub and incredibly bossy, thinking his way is the right way. That will grow with him into a general buttmunch personality, where he thinks only of himself and not much of others. Sure, he'll look out for his younger siblings and help them out if they need it, but you can bet he'll be holding it over their heads for the rest of time, teasing them and taunting them with their shortcomings. He'll look up to his father as a youth but, as he grows older, consider him something of a rival and try to out-do good ol' dad in every way.

Tell me about his personality! Make it short!: The names currently picked couldn't have said it better! Aqil is a quiet and studious young lion, he's got a quick mind and an appetite for culture and the ways of his Father. He appreciates the job his Father undertakes and would dream of the day when he could take his stand and do the same or atleast a similar job. I imagine him to be regal, smooth and soft, but sternly spoken. As a cub he will be adventurous which may or may not cause some troubles.

Tell me about his personality! Make it short!: Hong Tengfei is usually pretty level headed. He got a little bit of the big size from his father but no where near to the extent that his green brother got. So he is a little sore at being shorter than his younger brother. He still keeps a level head for the most part. When none of the adults are watching, some times Hong Tengfei likes to do little mean things like trip up one of his siblings or take things that he shouldn't. Mainly this is to test his boundaries which he'll likely grow out of when he reaches adult.

Arabic: Aqil
Chinese: Hong Tengfei
Tell me about his personality! Make it short!:
Tengfei I see taking after his father in the fact he will grow up to be sort of an a**, but not a total meanie-head. As a cub he will feel a sense of responsibility for his siblings and try to impress his father at every turn. Then around Adol, (oh those teenaged years) he will grow into his assery and TRY to become a playboy. He wil think he has all the moves and will feel the most important thing is find a pretty lady (or two) to flirt with and crush on. He will still be protective of his siblings, especially the girls as he will know how lions his age can be and will never approve of any boys they bring home. Ever. As an adult he may or may not mature up a bit and either way will hopefully settle down with a nice lady who fits with his personality and start a family of his own.

Tell me about his personality! Make it short!: Aqil is an intelligent boy with a very hyper personality. He can be excited very easily and can be very difficult to calm down. If he is frightened suddenly he lashes out at the individual who scared him with a strong intensity. He can be very friendly with new individuals but once he has been made angry by someone then he instant crosses them off the good list. He turns into a smart mouthed jerk with those individuals and will fight them if they continue to make him angry. When it comes to girls he is very polite and behaved and believes that laying a paw on a female in violence is wrong but if a female makes him angry he will be a jerk but he will not fight her no matter what.

Tell me about his personality! Make it short!: While Aqil inherited a lot from his father, from his markings to his hefty build, he did get his eyes from his mother and they do say the eyes are the windows to the soul. He'll grow up to be a big, fluffy, soft-hearted lion. Though he's the oldest, he'll grow to be meek, quiet, and caring beyond what would be healthy. As he grows he may be gullible and a bit of a pushover, but I expect him to become a bit sterner and regal with age. The exception to this would be with his family, for which he cares fiercely for and would come out of his shell to defend at any time.
