 This is not officially endorsed by the Prideland Pride or by their owners. However, you may wish to click the link above to read up on the pride as this is where the cub will be headed!-
Uuni herself has no time for children (and they get old fast!) so they will be finding foster parents. Two of the children will be traveling to the KA (disease pride) to be fostered under the nannies there and perhaps their Aunt (goddess of Blood, Annchen). The other two (including the contest boy) are going to the Pridelands with foster parents.ClosedEnd 6th October @ 8pm PST Rules
1. He must stay in the Pridelands until adolescence
2. Do not whine/discourage/or try and guilt trip judgers or other players. You will be disqualified and may not be given a warning.
3. You may edit entries up until the final deadline, however we will read everything initially as they are posted.
4. Don't change the colors in your entry. Especially not to yellow. Just. Don't.
5. Read about the family! It will be useful information.
6. Should go without saying: No evil personalities. Between the parents and the foster parents, it just doesn't make sense.

Family  Blood Relations
Uuni (Mother [Blood Magic], Kaelyndra): She has a bit of a no-nonsense type attitude and personally believes that mortals are full of nonsense. She has a dry sort of humor, and while she will not outwardly coddle them, she does have a bit of a soft spot for her cubs. She may, if they are in severe danger, help them out, and she may check on them from time to time while they are cubs, but she will not have a large role in their lives, and most of the decisions they make will retain the consequences.
Ulaghai (Brother, Aurrie Beaues): Located in the Pridelands under the same foster parents as the contest cub. Named by his foster parents, he is a big, playful cub. He doesn't find anything sacred, and is often up in muck, grime, and other's personal business. Much like his blood-father, he likes to play jokes on his foster parents and siblings. His seer-visions culminate as nightmares.
Nikusaidie (Sister, L1m3_gr33n_sh4rp13): Located in the Kitwana'antara pride
Kasoro (Brother, Silverlutz): Located in the Kitwana'antara pride Foster Family
Samawati (Foster Father, Mogami): (From plot thread) He used to be reckless to the point of self-destruction but he's finally coming to terms with the death of his twin. He has found friends but that doesn't stop him from being a total pain half the time. The death of his brother marked the start of the war with the hyenas of the Graveyard Pack. Naturally, he hates hyenas with fierce passion and he will KILL any that come too close to the border even if they don't belong to the pack... young ones are safe though.
Sarabi (Foster Mother, Yin-bug): (From plot thread) Sarabi is very clam and level headed in most cases. She tends to keep her cool most of the time and there really isn't anything that bothers her. She is sweet and cares a lot about those around her. She is mostly and wise not only that but she also is very adventurous, she likes to see things around her and she likes to know what is going on. She is starting to grow out of that and enjoy being at her home in the pridelands but she likes to do stuff and be active.
Hidaya (Foster Sister, Izzy Makani): Kind hearted, motherly, and fairly easy going. Hidaya is a lioness that could get along with almost anyone unless they mess with the ones she loves. She enjoys a good laugh and has a fairly open mind. She has a generous heart and loves helping other to solve their problems and gives advice when she feels it would help. She is also very romantic and she loves taking care of other cubs when she has the chance.
Sitārē (Foster Brother, Depawsit): He's born to be a leader - or so he thinks. He thinks he's got the skills to do anything he sets his mind to, which just so happens to be leading those who have lost their way. At the moment he's not the greatest at navigating himself around in the daylight, but he's quite exceptional once the sun falls. If you gave him the chance, he'd likely begin to lecture you on the stars. He's actually quite taken with them. -- Juve uncert
Ghubari (Foster Brother, Depawsit): Is a spoiled brat through and through. Before he became separated from his birth mother, she coddled him a but too much. Fearful that he may have inherited the sickness that took his father from him. Due to this he's lost all ability to do things for himself, leaving him completely reliant on others for even the simplest tasks. It isn't that he's a lazy cub, its just that he was never taught how! To top off his spoiled behavior, Ghubari is a HUGE whiner! He whines and complains about nearly everything, even if he has no real reason to. He's the type who will think far too much into a situation in order to find a reason to complain about it. -- Juve Uncert.

 Colored by Eskimo
His parents will be very open with he and his brother about the fact that they are adopted. When they are young, if they choose to ask, they may receive "stories" about his mother (like that she's a magical Queen) and his two siblings in the KA. As the cubs get older, if they are still interested, they will be told more accurate versions of the story. But, his foster parents will never know for sure where his siblings might be, so they will never be able to tell him. They will not know that the cubs were part of a pact and they will know nothing about the cubs' father, therefore neither of the cubs will know or have any way of knowing about either.
To enter, please respond to one of the prompts below with the form given.Prompt 1 Though the Pridelands isn't a big judging kind of pride, cubs will have their curiosities. As a result, there's no end to the questions you receive on why you look nothing like your parents. Are you offended? How do you respond to them? Do you wonder yourself? Do you harass your parents about the idea? Prompt 2 Being the child of a god, he's a seer. However, he could be a weak seer, a strong seer, or he may never culminate his abilities at all. Is there something special about him? Does he only see visions when he's staring into water? Is there anything particular about his visions? Does he only see good outcomes, or perhaps only the ends of lives? Show us how his seer power culminates, affects his lifestyle, etc. You may choose any stage of his life, but try and show us his personality. Prompt 3 Your brother has pulled a trick on you (or, it seems like it anyway)! There's a particular rock that you all go to drink from, and sometimes fight over. It's a good rock! However, today, after you've victoriously won the right to drink first (however this is decided), the rock gives way and sends you face first in the water and the mud. Other than a bruised nose and a scratched muzzle (and maybe some mud and water), you're okay. What do you do next? Open Prompt Write whatever you feel like. Show us how this guy ticks!

Entry!
Cub Name: Sarkans Udens (Red Water in Lavtian)
Owner's Name: Tilly_Milly_wolf
Brief Personality:
He is a bit of a bright thing, always saying stuff and able to speak unknown languages but only simple stuff. He doesn't really do much hanging around unless really supposed to sense he just can't do much but see visions. He never could respect Ulaghai sense he was too much of a jerk to be around, playing with him. Some say Udens was to much of a jerk like his brother, correcting their mistakes sometimes while others say he is just a teddy bear, being a fragile mind. He is sometimes respected as a faithful Historian but knows he could never pass up as one.
Prompt Response:
Prompt 3:
Bruised up, he grunts, having to carefully clean himself and fixing his minor wounds. Seeing his brother enjoying himself, he decides to tell the truth and went looking for his parents Samawati and Sarabi. He kept looking and looking until he finally found them and sighed. "Mother! Father! Ulaghai became jealous enough to beat me up just because i won the first drink!" he yowled, complaining a bit and showing the wounds on him.
Getting his brother in trouble, he sighed sense it just wasn't himself. Deciding to treat his brother nicely, when he got out of his punishment, Udens just treated himself like he was in trouble to get even. He never wanting to make other feel bad so when he did the same amount, he just stayed last to drink to keep himself safe for next time.
((i don't trust open signs but i guess its okay, if it isn't i guess i'll do better next time around.))

Cub Name: Bettino (blessed in Italian)
Owner's Name: LexThetaSigma
Brief Personality: Bet is a prankster; he loves to trick his all of his siblings at one point or another. Though he will trick them, he never means them any harm because they are his family. He loves all of his siblings equally and loves his adopted parents very much.
Prompt Response: Prompt #3
Bettino slowly climbed up on to the rock to get to the water. He wanted to treasure the moment; he had actually beaten his brother in a race to get the right to have the first drink when they made it over to it. He settled down and slowly bent forward, ready for the cool liquid to graze his muzzle. Just as he felt a hint of the water against his chin, the rock started to give underneath his paws. He had enough time to let out a small yelp before his small face met the mud.
He wined slightly as pain started to throb through his tiny nose and he was convinced something had scratched up his muzzle. He shook his head and brought his muzzle down to the water to let it wash away the mud and winced when the water hit the scratch that had opened up. He looked towards the shore and spotted his brother chuckling as he watched him while taking a drink. Bet didn't like the mischievous glint he seen in his brother's eye; there was no way that rock should have fallen on him! It never had before!
As his mind continued to race to figure out what had happened, his mind went back to his brother. The rock shouldn't have fallen, unless someone messed with it! Instead of getting angry and storming over to his brother, he tossed the other cub a small smirk. It was time to start plotting revenge.

Entry!
Cub Name: Azizi (precious)
Owner's Name: CaliWolfe
Brief Personality: Although clearly a boy, he has substained an unusually female-like personality. As such he acts quite... Unique. He brings home flowers and cries over the slightest of injuries, but these traits are to be expected in a cub. The only difference is, it's unlikely to change over time.
Prompt Response:Prompt 1:
Azizi was happily picking flowers as he usually did. He was humming a nice little tune that he had heard some of the older children sing eariler on. Maybe he'd give the flowers he was picking to Ulaghai. Then again, Ulaghai was likely to toss them away or something. If that was true, who'd Azizi give his flowers too? He already gave some to mom and dad, now he needed a third party to recieve his gift.
As the cub mulled over the situation, a group of adults walked by. Perhapes it was because he looked peroccupied, or that he was humming; but one of the adult mentioned something that made Azizi stop humming for a moment. "-not their child..." Or something like that was what he heard. Azizi raised his left eyebrow. Who were they talking about anyways? He had heard a lot of the pride members mention that line amongst each other and it was starting to bother him.
They couldn't have possibly been talking about him, could they? Azizi knew he looked different than mommy and daddy, but he just thought that was because he was special. He didn't think it mean't anything more than that. If it did... "Mom!" He ran off. Discarding the chore of collecting flowers to distribute, and now he only had one or two thoughts in mind. First, find mom. Secondly, ask about what those pride members were talking about!

My first time participating in a SoA event. I hope this entry is alright!
Entry!
Cub Name: Bushiri (meaning: predictor, origin: Kenya-Tanzania)
Owner's Name: Ici Chiot
Brief Personality: Energetic and enigmatic, Bushiri is one sociable little cub. He loves making friends an considered his foster-family to be the greatest treasure life has to offer him. He has no qualms about greeting any other lion, regardless of who they are or what they might be doing, often leading him to be reprimanded for interrupting important business. He isn’t likely to outgrow his social butterfly demeanor when he’s older, and hopes to become a great storyteller or speaker for the pride. Bushiri is quite sweet-natured and optimistic, always looking for the best in everyone. He doesn’t understand why his foster-father hates hyenas so; Yes, they’re different, but that doesn’t mean they’re evil, does it? Oh, how much this little one needs to learn!
Prompt Response:Prompt #2
The grass rustle. The wind stilled to silence. Bushiri’s breathing was soft and slow as he placed each paw with deliberate precision. One step. Two. His yellow eyes narrowed to slits. His lips widened, white teeth glinted. His tail lashed through the grass behind him. He revealed his claws and dug them into the hard dirt, his muscles tensing, hind legs swaying with barely controlled energy.
“Ha!”
The cub leapt out of the grass and pounced over a rabble of rocks. A sharp squeak emanated from between his toes, as a tiny, hairless tail lashed and frothed about the dirt. Grinning, Bushiri lowered his face and raised one toe to peek,” Got you.”
The mouse bristled its hair and chattered angrily.
“Oh, don’t be like that,” Bushiri curled his claws to grip the mouse’s tail and rolled back onto his haunches. He flicked it up into the air until they were eye to eye. The mouse squirmed, trying to roll its body upward so it might get a grip on Bushiri’s paw. Probably to bite him. Mice did tend to do that. Bushiri frowned and flicked his ears back, giving the rodent a little shake,” That’s enough now. Settle down.”
The mouse, pointedly, did not.
Bushiri sighed. He squinted one eye shut and peered intently at the wriggling bundle with the other. Eye to eye now, his pale lemon iris dwarfed the tiny oil spot specks of the mouse.
Here… now…
Hooves thundered across the savannah. The stink of pelts and plods filled the air. Noise everywhere – the baying of gazelle, the squeaks of their little ones. All around were flashes of golden tawny, black, white. The grass was high and green. Water, in the distance, still but smelling sweet. Pride rock was a gray shadow in the distance, with the sun burning white above it.
Bushiri grinned and dropped the mouse. It squealed in protests then took off through the underbrush, happy to be alive. Bushiri himself turned tail and bounded off toward home.
“Mom! Moooom! I know when the antelope are coming!”

Cub Name: Waliohifadhiwa Moto [frozen fire]
Owner's Name: xKOVAKtheWOLFx
Brief Personality: He is a rather loving cub, filled of energy, understanding when to stop. Moto clings onto Ulaghai for they are all they really have left to their real family. He enjoys the pranks that his brother is capable of leading them into, sometimes taking the blame for his brother when the adults of the pride confront the both of them to Samawati and Sarabi. Though he would sometimes get too carried away, he sees great respect for his adoptive siblings. Hidaya is who he would go to first if Sarabi can not see him at the moment. He sees Ghubari to be annoying, but also cares for him since he too had almost the same situation as he does. Sitārē is who he would go to his he were ever craving for an exploration away from his foster parents and would carefully listen to his stories. As frozen as how fire can get, Moto can turn into someone that you do not want to mess with if you tick him off.
Prompt Response:
Alone. Sarabi and Samawati have told him to wait here for them to speak to him after Ulaghai. Pfft. After messing around at the water hole, it was Ulaghai that started it after all. He probably made the rock give way to him. Now his coat was all dirty and wet, not to mention the fact that he smelled bad. Moto would usually want to stand up for his brother, but he went to far today. His nose hurt and felt like crying. He couldn't though. Not after hearing that his foster father killed local hyenas to protect him. He missed his real parents and real siblings very dearly, not knowing why he was left here with strangers with just Ulaghai. Why not have all the cubs together instead? In his mind, he recited the stories that his foster parents told him about his parents and siblings. He longed to visit them, and planned to find Sitārē and beg him to show him the way to the lands once he was an adolescent and thus bring Ulaghai with him for his quest to be reunited. He waited a while, getting restless of how long this wait was until he would be spoken to. Looking up from the grasses that he was examining, he felt something odd inside of him.
Why was his head getting dizzy and his chest was pounding like if he was about to die? His yellow eyes hurt viewing the scenery, but ignored the irritating feeling that he was receiving. In his mind, he was able to see things in flashes of red. As if there was blood nearby. Blood? Why would he be seeing blood? Shaking his head, he ran away from that direction that the red was the strongest, but a sharp cold forced pierced his chest, as if to say to turn back to the direction of the blood. Not knowing what to do, he cautiously walked closer to the red that he was seeing, with the cold force leaving his body. Walking for a while, his mind of red disappeared once he stepped on something wet. Water? No. Looking at his paws, he saw it. Red. Blood. On top of the water. A recently killed zebra was pushed into the water hole. He knew that this had to be a message for him, but what?
