The Bonespeakers believe any creature can commune with the spirits, though lions are considered slightly more likely to be blessed due to the connection with the stars and the ancestor lions who look down upon them. However, any creature who can prove their worth or reliability of their readings is welcomed. They just have to pass Yahna's knowing eye.
Vultures are also especially loved, as they are used as messengers and help collect small bones for the Bonespeakers to use in their readings.
---
When welcoming new members, Yahna will invite them to her chambers and either cast her stones, or, if they claim to have unseen sight and the power to speak to the spirits, ask them to give a demonstration. She has been known to look more favourably towards those whose markings match her aesthetics, with bones, stars and eyes often a guarantee.
Usually, if someone simply wishes to learn and she can see they are earnest, they are welcome to call The Bonespeakers their home so they may hone their skills.
The kind, the unfortunate, the tricksters, the weird, the abandoned; they are all welcomed. True cruelty is not. Yahna has no time for those who seek the power of the spirits simply for destruction.
All new lion members begin as Aspirants (unless discussed otherwise, my dms are always open if you think your lion deserves to start at a higher position) and may then rank up to Seer and beyond with roleplay.

but hey i'm not a lion, that's fine! You can also apply but the default rank is a Believer! However, Yahna believes that all creatures have the ability to access the spirits and will give anyone a chance to prove it, non-lions simply have to try a little harder.
NON-LIONS APPLY WITH THIS CODE:
[color=brown][size=18][b]I'M A BELIEVER![/b][/size][/color]
[b]Animal Name and Link to Cert:[/b]
[b]Desired Rank:[/b] Believer is the default. Birdfolk are automatic entry. Herbivores and hyenas get a side-eye and need a good reason. If you believe your animal would actually be a great Seer, convince me!
