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.

#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.
