"You're Interested In Joining?"

Please refer to our Main Page before Applying.

~ . ~ .~ . ~ .~ . ~ .~ . ~ .~ . ~ .~ . ~ .~ . ~ .~ . ~ .


Two Kings
[Protectors of the Pride]
-Normally the ONLY mature males-

Two Queens, for Two Kings
[The Kings' Favorites]
(Rank defended by both Kings)

Advisers
[Lower ranked Queens]
Control the ranks when either or both Queens are enjoying a lazy day.
-Most likely most dominant. Bow to higher Queens.-
(Challenge-able)

Sentries
[Also know as Warriors]
- First line of assisted defense for the pride. (Excluding Male Challenges.)
These lions are not tasked with caring for the young, instead they are encouraged to remain observant. They are usually courtyard-bound but occasionally perform tasks that a scout would to relieve tension.

Hunters
[Main providers of the Pride's meals.]
- Will be listed in order of hierarchy/dominance.

Broods
[Best experienced with Cubs]
- These females are den/courtyard-bound and seem to always leak milk. Any Pride member can dump her newborn cubs here to be properly reared. Broods get to eat before Bulk members. Their supply of milk can never fade! Keep them well fed, pamper them, and steer clear of their hormone-filled attitudes.

Followers
[Bulk of the Pride]
- Either lions that have not ascended the ranks yet, or that are comfortable simply helping to raise young lions and help produce future offspring. They are encouraged to teach adolescents.

Adolescents
[Lions between the ages of 1 - 2 1/5 years]
- Females and Males alike. Females are encouraged to begin training and aiming for a rank among the adults. Males should be eager to gobble down as much information as they can chew before possibly being chased from their home.

Cubs
[The Pride's Babies]
PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS.
- Any and all Pride members should be willing to lay down their life to protect a cub. To kill a cub is to have yourself killed, unless you are a King.

Follower Application


(Please Refer to description above)
Female Only Position
How are you related to the Queens?:
Remember: Follows are lions that havn't reach rank yet or are comfortable just being a bulk member of the pride. They help teach the adolescents, and assist brood mothers sometimes. These are lions that seek protection in numbers. CAN be non-relative to the Queen(s) but you need a good backstory.
Extra Information?: - - -
Roleplay Sample Scene: Choose the scene of your liking.
Your responding post sample: - - -




#1 Scene: You're an adolescent, probably a couple of months shy of being one year old. An adult is attempting to introduce you to the idea of hunting, within the safe environment of the courtyard. She carries over a half mangled, squealing piglet. When she drops it, it takes off with a wobbly gait but the adult lioness ensures its capture by cutting off its escape routes within a twenty foot radius. "Try to kill it." she states simply with an uninterested gaze. [You're young, and this is a first attempt.]
#2 Scene: There is a rogue female on the horizon. Your pride really doesn't tolerate rogues. She seems keen on sticking around and happens to kill a mongoose as you're watching. On your territory? Awe heck no! You snarl, but she laughs at your attempt to scare her off... She'll throw an open-taloned paw your direction if you get too close.
#3 Scene: A fellow pride female comes your way, swollen with pregnancy and eagerly panting. You know she's in labor and she's not keen on taking care of her young after their delivery. Has she even given birth to cubs before? She looks young. Dear Lord..
#4 Scene: You've been watching a herd of wild Zebra, finding yourself alone deep in the Pride's territory. You notice at the rear of the herd, two horses are dragging behind. One is an injured foal, and its mother is desperately trying to encourage it forwards. You might have a fight on your paws if you go in alone, but pride fills your chest as you think of the reward. Go kill it.
#5 Scene: It's your big day! Today's the day you get to show off the skills you've been working on. No one really expects you to be perfect as you're still an adolescent; but nonetheless, you can feel everyone's hopeful stares. Being an adolescent male, while the girls go on their first real hunt, you've been sent on your first real patrol... With Kondo! He's explained what the tasks are; ya know, .. peeing everywhere and roaring at things unfamiliar. You get the point and you've heard the stories. But what happens when you spot a full grown hyena in the distance? At the border of the territory? Kondo seems content with sitting back and watching you work.

@Andro, Accepted. Did you have a specific role in mind. I feel you would make a good huntress or perhaps even a sentry.

(It's been almost ten years since I last roleplayed lions so excuse me if I get body language wrong)

Relationship: somebody's cub or an auntie? Open to anything though.
Neutral

Scene 1
The adolescent's eyes widened in surprise at the older female's words but she didn't question it. She stood up and shook herself off before she crouched down again and slunk behind a rock. "I can do this. Just like wrestling with the other cubs, right? Except... you know... killing it..." The female was peering over the rock at the piglet, eyes dilating as it moved closer. She shifted the weight on her back paws repeatedly and her tail swished in anticipation before she finally leaped. She attempted to land with both front paws squarely on the piglet but missed with one paw, the other paw catching it on it's back end. She started to go in for a bite but the piglet's screaming and flailing caught her off guard, her hesitation costing her a bite on the nose.

She jumped probably a good foot in the air and hissed, ears pinned back and fur standing on end. Eyes watering from the stinging in her nose, she sat down with a huff and rubbed at her nose with tail swishing angrily. Only when the older female reproached her did she get up and run after the piglet again. The piglet tried to zigzag, the female following every moment. It was when the piglet tried to go for an opening and the older female blocked it that the piglet made the dire mistake of turning back. The adolescent brought her paw down hard on it's head so that it's chin bounced off the rocks. She paused and stared at the unmoving piglet for a moment before pawing at it.

"Yep, it's dead..." She said in a flat matter-of-fact tone before suddenly brightening up and asking eagerly, "Can I eat it?"

Scene 3
"Come on then," Dayo said with an exasperated sigh. She stood up and lead the young one to a large tree that was dead and hollow inside, just big enough to suit their purposes. Stepping inside with leaves crunching under their paws, the Dayo used her paws to shift the leaves towards one side to make a nest for the younger female. "Lay down there. I suppose this is your first litter?" Another sigh as the answer was an affirmative nod.

Once the younger female had laid down, she removed the leaves from directly behind the lioness so that there was only dry, earth and pressed down on it with both paws to compact the soil. As she did so, she noticed shiny, redness peeking out from between the other one's legs. "Why must they always wait until the last second before coming to me?" she thought miserably before guiding the young female in the act of labor.

The first cub was born quickly and Dayo cleaned it before gently picking up the newborn in her maw and moving it over to the younger female's belly. She heard a growl but, other then flicking her ears back and tensing her body, she didn't respond until the cub had been safely deposited on the ground. "Let them nurse from you. Cubs need to suckle first from the lioness who birthed them if they are to be healthy and strong," she said with a warning snarl, a paw raised threateningly. The younger lioness huffed but did not argue, focusing on pushing as the new born was guided to a seeping nipple.

A second cub was born quickly after and was given the same treatment. It was much longer before the third, and last, cub was born noticeably smaller then the others and Dayo quickly cleaned it but it wasn't responding or moving. A still born. Dayo pushed gently on it's back with her nose then licked harder. There was an intense feeling of relief when finally it gave a weak mew. Dayo picked him up and moved him over to his mother's belly, pushing one of the others gently out of the way so it could have the best nipple.

After the young mother's contraction's stopped, she got up and walked out, completely ignoring the mewling cubs and not showing the faintest sign of caring. Dayo sighed as she moved to take her place and gently nudged the newborn cubs to her own leaking tits. "It's okay, little ones, I will take care of you," she muttered softly. She looked to the runt and decided he would be need to be favored if he were to go up big and strong like his siblings. Dayo gave another sigh but this time it was contentment. This was exactly where she liked to be, in a warm, dry den with cubs to care for. Yes, this was the life for her. She lowered her head to the ground and closed her eyes, slowly falling asleep.

Words cannot explain how perfect both of those examples were. First off, I love the cub one. I always admire watching cubs be role-played cute and totally inexperienced. I think we are in more need of a brood fill, WHICH YOU SEEM VERY EXPERIENCED WITH, but I'd totally want to see you apply for any coming litters later on.

A sibling or half-sibling to a Queen perhaps?

-We will await Shy's opinion.

Sibling, Aunt, Cousin? Someones Cub? How are you related to our pride's Queens?: Queen
Dominant, Submissive, Neutral?: Neutral, leaning towards the submissive side

(I thought the scene would be fun to RP, it is not a reflection of my intended character!)

#1 Scene: You're an adolescent, probably a couple of months shy of being one year old. An adult is attempting to introduce you to the idea of hunting, within the safe environment of the courtyard. She carries over a half mangled, squealing piglet. When she drops it, it takes off with a wobbly gait but the adult lioness ensures its capture by cutting off its escape routes within a twenty foot radius. "Try to kill it." she states simply with an uninterested gaze. [You're young, and this is a first attempt.]

As the huge lioness loomed before you with a piglet in their maw, you stand anxious and excited, paws shuffling and eyes wide with curiosity. You're not sure what the huntress expects of you, and you're thoughtful for a moment, before she drops the quaint piglet at your paws. With an immediate stalking stance, with chest low to the ground and legs splayed out, you watch the piglet gallop off, and you cock your head as the animal bounds off. An ear flicks towards the lioness as she says, "Try to kill it." As a cub, you hesitate for a moment, thought process spiraling trying to think of possible ways to capture the weasel-like prey. You realize that you're waiting too long to begin the chase, and you scamper up to your paws, meowing out, "Oh, uh, yeah. Right, kill it!:" You turn sharply towards the direction the piglet escaped, maneuvering your tail to keep balance on short, clumsy legs. In several strides you catch up to the piglet, whom is confused about where to go since the bracket and undergrowth is so thick. You lean your body in a more slender stance whilst in sprint, swiping out your front paws, trying to knock the piglet unbalanced. A divot within the earth would cause you to trip, humorously plundering into the dirt, continuously falling over your paws. With a whine and a shake of the pelt, you're on your feet once again, head straining in all directions to find where the piglet has gone. Looking back to the huntress, you watch as she shakes her head in disappointment, before bounding off within the foliage on the hunt for the piglet that you could not catch. You sit with a thud, sighing to yourself, and begin to lick your throbbing paw on which you tripped on. Maybe next time.. third time's a charm, right?

Applying For: Leader Cub

Scene 1:
Grumbling would emanate from the male adolescent's chest...did this lioness have to bring him along for ancestor's above new what now? He had been just about to explore a particularly interesting find in the far north of the camp.

A piglet....she wanted him to kill an injured piglet. Was this not what the lionesses were for? No matter...it should only take a couple of seconds anyway. An irritated huff of breath would be released from the young male's toothed maw before the young lion swaggered, not even bothering to sneak, over to the small animal. A fluffy paw would swipe the creatures way....only for it to dodge and run to the other side of the clearing? That was certainly not what it was supposed to do...like he had thought before, other than the older males, he was the king. Obviously this piglet had not been properly informed of his status.

"That is simply not what you are supposed to do...I am a male lion, the top predator for miles. When I want you to stay still...you stay still."

Once again the adolescent would waddle over to the piglet, slight annoyance gracing his dark russet muzzle....once again the annoying piece of meat would scream and run to the other side of the clearing. This was boring. Turning his head in the lionesses direction, the male lion gave her an arrogant look.

"You kill it, it's your job."
