[OOC] The Firekin Singles Thread

[Andranis]

This is simple and straight forward - This is a singles thread for people to post their Firekin lions! Please list ALL throwbacks you can find images of, so that we can avoid crossing lines too badly smile We want to try to keep it within the shop's acceptable levels, yes? This means that first cousins(Even half) cannot breed!

To clarify, the Throwbacks rules are:

Eligible throwbacks are: Parents, siblings by the same two parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts by the same grandparents, great grandparents, etc.
Ineligible throwbacks includes: Any throwback that contributes genes from an unrelated SoA, including but not limited to: half-siblings, cousins, half-uncles/aunts, nephews/nieces, etc.

Personality blurbs are also not needed - You can discuss that part when you contact someone about a possible fling or lifemate deal ^^ Instead, we have the "What your lion is looking for," which will allow anybody who is old-blood traditionalist to try and seek someone who's also old-blood traditionalist, or just old-blood, or old-blood or new blood seeking new blood, or new blood... You get the idea!

Q&A!

question Why?
exclaim The Firekin pride is literally one of THE biggest prides in the shop, one of the three largest arted prides in the shop(I'm not sure on the exact numbers, but Pridelands and Ela'wadiyi ARE the other two), and one of the only two prides that don't allow flings, PERIOD. They've also got the tightest restrictions on who can and cannot join - While the Ela'wadiyi will let just about any lion join, the Firekin have strict standards on coat color, personality, and form... And this actually makes it rather challenging to find a fling or mate for lions!

question Wait, really? HOW? They let rogues join!
exclaim Part of the challenge is that most of the pride is still related - It's not necessarily THAT easy to find a fling or mate! The truth is, a fair chunk of the lions in the pride are descended from Makadari, the first IC king before his grandson, Kimeti(Kimeti's father, Kiu, died of the first plague before he could take the throne) - Either through Kiu's descendants, or his brother, Mwali! Another fair chunk, and yes this is entirely my fault because he was just made of awesome genes, are descended from Bodaway! The rest are a mix of new blood and two or three unrelated lines!

question But wait, if there ARE joining rogues, still... Why make this thread?
exclaim This is to help encourage activity for those who joined as rogues! There's also another point - Some of the joining rogues are either related to one of the existing lines(Like, say, joining grandchildren of Bodaway... He had kids out in the Roguelands!), or they're related to someone who joined earlier(Like a sibling or cousin, niece, nephew, etc.)! This serves the extra purpose to avoid that headache plague smile

I may throw more in here to help keep the idea of this thread clear xd ;
