 Trust me, we need the rules.
1. Check the personal drama at the door. Any drama in this thread is strictly between the lions and should stay that way.
2. Keep things PG-13, no matter what. While some of us are older, that doesn't mean we want to read the nasties.
3. Do not godmod. We are perfectly capable of roleplaying the reactions of our lions ourselves.
4. Do not whine about the way a certain lion acts or reacts. Chances are it's in the lions personality and how they would truly respond to the situation.
5. Please try to stay within the pride's current situation. There are over 50 members and we can't have 25 little plots going on. If you talk to DHS or Izzy we WILL get to your plot, but we can only take 4 or 5 at a time, maximum. If it's really that important then maybe we can find a way to weave it in with the current plots, but other than that just be patient.
6. Please keep things organized in your posts. Again, there are over 50 lions and many of you have more than one lion in the pride. If you're posting with all your lions in one post then seperate the lions by breaks in paragraphs and font colors. It makes it so much more pleasant to read.

 [Image here] The Rose Petal lands are usually a very healthy green, alive with all sorts of vegetation. Every so often a drought will come along and things will start to die, but strangely enough there is always something full of life. The edges of these lands are marked by rose bushes. These bushes are always green with life and always in bloom. The hunting grounds are large, and filled with zebra and gazelle, as well as smaller prey such as rabbits. The grasses grow long here and make it easier for our hunters to stay hidden. By the den is a small spring. It dries up in the droughts but is good for members to drink from and cubs to take a swim without worrying about the creatures that lurk in the deeper water, such as the nearby lake. It also helps to keep our water-lurking females a bit more comfortable. There is much more yet to be discovered by all the members of the pride. Some of our more quiet brothers and sisters know of these areas and go here for solitude. We try to keep everyone stress-less and happy, and so they will never be truly disturbed here.

 Name: Santos
Mate: Adia
Mother: Saravain
Siblings: Zoe, Abla, Stratos (Not currently in exsistence)
Cubs: Nimbus, Arsenic, Daveigh, Razi, Floria, Amador, Rylee, Amarantha, Bastien
Grandcubs: Talos, Winter, Adieu, Argon, Asher, Athos, Galahad, Gallium, Jayden-Rose, Kama, Kiangazi Usiku, Lithium, Mercury, Valiant, Vasilios, Hyades, Lillifee, Cody, Aurora, Torrent, Sashi
Neices and Nephews: Nya Mvua, Atash, Khalid, Hunter, Red Wine, Rosebelle, Avram
Personality: Santos is pretty laid back about most things. He likes to socialize with others and wants nothing more out of this pride than to keep others safe, happy, and healthy. He's protective of his family, and the members that have come to be close in his heart. He doesn't usually like to hear that his daughters are pregnant, but gets over it in time; usually when he actually sees the cubs and grandpa-santos-mode kicks in.
History: Santos has had a long dreadful history, but it's taken a turn for the best and he's a very happy camper now. If you dare to read his tragedy, look below.
As darkness engulfed a gloomy day a dark coated king stode into his den in unprovoked rage. He found a pure white female adorned in roses there, the den mother of his pride. He told her to get out of his sight but she simply gave him a defiant look and continued to look after the cubs of the pride. The king was enraged and brought his paw down across her shoulder, flinging her into the den wall. The female took a moment to get up but still she did, and she looked at the male silent as night. The king was enraged further and hit her again and again, until he punished her by rape that dark, cold, and lonely night.
Months later the female birth four cubs. The king automatically hated them, brutally pushing them around, blaming his problems on them, and beating the mother for birthing them. One night while they were asleep, the male came in, once again enraged. He planned to kill the little monsters. Lightning crashed outside and three of the cubs squirmed to hide in their mother's warmth. The fourth cub, the cub with white fur, black paws and hair, and a simple red rose on his shoulder, was sleeping behind a rock, as he did every night for fear of the king beating him. He awoke to the sounds of his siblings cries and his mother's pleas of mercy for their lives. The king ignored all of this though, beating the cubs. The mother lunged at him, but too late. all the cubs were seemingly dead. The king growled at the female and threw her off of him. He killed her too. When the king left the fourth cub was in tears. He bolted out of the den, away from the deaths, away from that life.
He grew up living off what ever food he could catch or friendly strangers would give him. He didn't blame other lions for his past, and so he was fun and goofy around others, quickly gaining popularity for his friendlyness. As an adult, the lion named Santos still wandered for some time. He stuck around one area mostly. One day he met a crimson ligeress, Adia. She shared his goofy nature and was the most beautiful thing he had seen. Together they started a pride and a family, which still lives strong known as The Rose Petal Pride.
Likes: Adia, peace, cubs, friends, family, sunsets, talking, helping others, goofing around, being king, wrestling his sons and warriors.
Dislikes: Disrespect, bad kings, suitors for his daughters, not being around Adia.
Friends: Scribble and his children, Tequila and her family, Benoni(kinda), Keely Kayin and her family.

 Name: Adia
Mate: Santos
Mother: Name currently unknown
Siblings: Dafina
Cubs: Nimbus, Arsenic, Daveigh, Razi, Floria, Amador, Rylee, Amarantha, Bastien
Grandcubs: Talos, Winter, Adieu, Argon, Asher, Athos, Galahad, Gallium, Jayden-Rose, Kama, Kiangazi Usiku, Lithium, Mercury, Valiant, Vasilios, Hyades, Lillifee, Cody, Aurora, Torrent, Sashi
Personality: Still writing out.
History: To Adia her past is little more than a blur in the back of her mind which she can’t remember thanks to a bump on the head as a cub. However Adia was born into a pride where the food was scarce and the pride members starving so badly they would turn on their own flesh and blood for just one little morsel of food. Adia’s parents were about the only two sane lions left of the pride when Adia and her runt sister, Dafina, were born. Adia’s mother managed to keep her and her sister away from the rest of the pride members for a couple of weeks. Long enough for them to open their eyes and be able to move around without too much difficult. When the pride members did find out about them they were completely starved and the king declared as punishment, in his ravenous hunger, that the two sisters be killed and fed to the hungry pride. Adia’s parents took the both and tried to run but a battle soon ensued as the pride caught up with them. Adia was quickly separated from her parents and her sister and while trying to free herself of an attacker fell down a hill where she hit her head hard on a boulder at the bottom.
When she awoke everyone was gone and she couldn’t remember anything but just bits a pieces of her first moments after opening her eyes, of seeing her mothers face and hearing her fathers voice. All recent happenings had been whipped clean from her memory. As she recovered from her injuries of the battle Adia only barely managed to keep herself alive by stealing food from anything and even resorting to eating bugs. After she got better she began to wander farther and farther until she was found by the members of Magishan’s pride who took her in and raised her. She grew up within the pride but kept mostly to herself until she became an adult and she met Santos. It like love at first sight, she and Santos clicked well together and not very long after they became mates. Adia left Magishan’s pride with sadness in her heart but hope for the future. Together her and Santos created the pride now known as the Rose Petal Pride which is still going strong and getting bigger with every passing day.
Personality: Different. Strange defantly couldn't describe this girl. Her outlook on life is an amusing one. She does as she pleases most of the time but tries to stick within the rules. A random one she is, always finding new ways to do something or deal with a problem.
Likes: Santos, sunning, caring for cubs, visiting with her children, playing with her grandcubs, hunting small game on her own
Dislikes: Disrespect, storms, fighting, an upset Santos
Friends: Tequila and her family, Benoni(kinda)... list still being compiled

((Okay, since this will be the first post into the pride, I'm going to model how I'd like current members to set up their first post. We need the forms filled out for your members so that we can put it in the members post, so as you post with each character I'd like you to fill out a form for them and post it before you begin with their paragraph. Like this (I won't do it with Santos) wink ) The king's white form rested above the den, in the little haven he and Adia often shared. The pride was running smoothly, despite the many members. He and Bardhyl had worked out their problems and he liked to say that he had no troubles with the lad anymore. He was satisfied with how the male was doing in his new position and was doing well with the cubs.
He had some good news in his own personal life as well. Adia was once again carrying his cubs. That meant that his family was once more growing and he'd be occupied with his own cubs instead of others'. It made him feel a little less old to have his own cubs to care for.
Things were looking way up in his life. He no longer felt stressed over every little thing and could walk through his lands with an honest smile on his lips. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Member: Arsenic
Gender: Male
Rank: Prince/Hunter
Relations: All of Santos's family. Mate - Kerryn
Personality: Arsenic is quiet and observant. He prefers to watch and learn from others rather than try and fail on his own. He doesn't like to be in large crowds of lions, though he feels right at home within the pride and it's many members.
History: Arsenic was the first born in Santos and Adia's first litter. Though smaller than most and not the biggest talker he got around fine. During his teen years he got in many fights with his sister over his friends, though it was mostly to get more attention from his mother.
As a young adult he was tricked by a fallen goddess and raped along with another male. The result was two little girls, Lithium and Astatine, which he raised with the help of Kerryn. Eventually this parenting bond between them brought them to be mates and he now has three little boys with her.All was well in Arsenic's world. His three son's were healthy, his father was finally happy, and he was about to become a big brother once again. It was safe to say he was perfectly content with his life at the current.
As he prepared to go out on a hunt and looked around, he noticed Argon sleeping in the shade of a tree, quite peacefully. That was the only time that cub looked peacful, honestly. He took after his mother a bit too much.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Member: Razi
Gender: Male
Rank: Royal/Lead Warrior
Relations: All Of Santos's Family. Mate - Preston
Personality: Razi is a very proud warrior. He's kind of rough and tumble while still remaining kind and friendly. He wants nothing more than to keep everyone safe.
History: Razi was last born in Santos and Adia's second litter. The exact opposite of Arsenic, he is largest of all 9 of his siblings and most fit for his warrior position. Growing up all he ever thought about was being a warrior and now happily claims his title of lead warrior within the pride.The tuxedo prince lazed on a large rock, breathing in and out deeply. He'd been up since the sun had just begun peaking over the horizon, and had already done his morning rounds about the boarders. Nothing new was going on. No hyenas currently nearby, no lone cheetahs looking for a fight. Life was so boring right now.
He blinked his icy eyes and smiled. He'd much rather be lazy than stressed, so it was probably best that things were this way.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Member: Amarantha
Gender: Female
Rank: Princess/Huntress
Relations: All of Santos's family.
Personality: Sweet and gentle, Amarantha is a little lady. She likes to use her manners and isn't very fond of roughing around with her brothers, though she does love to be with them.
History: Not much of a history. Amarantha spends most of her time in the lands, never straying far from her family. She met Tabansi there, so it couldn't have been to bad.
Amarantha blinked her golden eyes in the dimly lit den she shared with her cubs, who were currently curled against her. She wasn't quite sure what time it was, it really hadn't even registered that she was awake yet.
As her eyes adjusted to the lack of light she looked around and yawned at the rock walls that surrounded her. She remembered growing up within these walls, and now her own cubs were doing the same. What a beautiful thing that was. It certainly wasn't something she had ever really imagined herself doing. Of course, she never thought she'd meet such a male...-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Member: Airla
Gender: Female
Rank: Cub
Relations: Adoptive father- Kabili
Personality: Airla likes to think of others before herself. If she can put a smile on someone Else's face, or make them feel more comfortable, than she in turn is happy and feels like she's accomplished something.
History: Airla is exactly as her mother was, even having taken up her mother's name. She was born while her mother was unable to care for her. Her mother chose to feed her cubs, which left her unable to feed herself and eventually she died. Airla was left to wander and pick from discarded carcasses, but she got by. Soon she found Kabili, her mother's ex love-interest, and he became like a father to her, bringing her to this pride so she could be healthy and happy and he could raise her properly.Airla shifted in her sleep, her paw twitching as she whimpered softly. She'd gone to sleep late the night before. She felt restless and saddened. It was so late when she'd retreated to the den that Kabili had lone since fallen asleep, alone. She hated to leave him like that because she knew he worried, but she had to walk to that she could sleep. Now that she was asleep, though, she wished she was awake.
Her dream was misty and dark. She could tell it was the time inbetween when the sun set and the moon rose; when things were light and dark at the same time. She could see a figure in the distance, feminine but nothing more than a silhouette. She felt compelled to follow itt, but it moved farther away. Only when she broke out into a run was she able to reach it.
What she saw almost made her sick. A female, adult, pure white with her markings. She could tell this was her mother. The sickening part were the over-protruding bones, obviously from famine. Every bone in her body screamed this was her fault, but she tried to shake it away. This couldn't be her fault.. how could she do this?

((Let's see how long this takes me.)) Adia yawned softly as she settled on a small cliff just off the edge of the lake. She had managed to slip out of the den undetected as her love prefered her to stay near the den when she was with cubs. However this morning was just too perfect to waste at the den. The sun was bright in her eyes but she didn't mind because the warmth it put on the rest of her body was enough to make her never want to move.
A smile spread across her face as the cubs within her belly shifted and moved about. It wouldn't be much longe before they joined her in the outside world and she once again took the roll of loving mother and protector to small helpless cubs. Just the thought of such a roll once more always excited her.----------------------------------------------------------------- Member: Daveigh
Gender: Female
Rank: Princess/Den Sister
Relations: All of Santos's family, Mate - Yukio
Personality: A kind lioness and very loving to those that are kind to her. She can have a rude tongue at times and on rare occasions become very jealous.
History: Daveigh was the second born of Santos and Adia's first litter. She was a daddies girl from day one and very playful with any and everyone. As she got older she became jealous of her brother Arsenic and often got into fights with him over his friends.
As an adult Daveigh fell for Benoni's son Anu and battled hard with her father to be with him. After a lot of drama she ran away joining Anu's pride to be with him. Not long after she became pregnant and in fear hid from Anu, losing his trust and love instantly, and gave birth to a boy, Vasillios, and a girl, Adieu. Returning to her fathers pride with her little girl Daveigh soon found a new mate in an old friend Yukio. Now her and Yukio have two sons of their own and live happily within the rose petal pride.Daveigh yawned as she got up out of her warm spot in her and Yukio's area of the den. She was tired this morning. She'd spent most of the night before out with Yukio in a private place where they could be alone and enjoy each others company. With so many members in the pride she ever got that private time with her mate so when she did she took it in and savored it.
Today was going to be an eventful one. With so many cubs in the pride now everyday was an adventure to keep up with them all. She didn't mind though. She enjoyed the chase.-------------------------------------------- Member: Rylee
Gender: Female
Rank: Wants to be a Warrior
Relations: All of Santos's Family
Personality: A spunky young lioness, Rylee is a rough and tumble girl. She loves to battle with her nephew Kian whenever she gets a chance and if she ever has the time she loves trying to listen in on the warriors talk. She can be a lady when forced to but if it comes right down to it she prefers to look strong and tough instead of fragile and innocent.
History: Rylee has lived in Rose Petal her whole life. She's seen very little of the lands outside of the pride except for what she has seen with her niece Adieu.Rylee was settled silently in the tall grass not far from Razi. She'd been watching her older brother from a distance since he had awoken this morning. She had become quite the stalker since she had trully become interested in being a warrior. Every chance she got she would stalk one and watch what happened on his patrol and sometimes even get to watch a battle between the warrior she was stalking and a stray hyena or rogue cheetah. However today had been an uneventful patrol and that always broke her. So being a warrior could be boring but she still was not going to give up on being one of them.((More to come as soon as my brain gets a bit of rest.))

Member: Jayden-Rose
Gender: Female
Rank: Cub
Relations: All of Santos's family
Personality: So far she has a very strong attachment to her mother creating an odd bond so strong that they can be apart and still know how the other is feeling. She's very quiet and not quite sure what to think of the situation she's living in but she's getting more and more used to it, still shying away from those that do not bare a flower proudly.
History: Jay was born into the worst possible time of her mother's life but always wanted to be as close to her as possible from protection of her older brother that no longer lives at the pride. But for this she also met a male named Mantarok whoms parents have forbade him from seeing her. Why is behond logical reasoning, left only to cling to her necklace (a gift from him). She's rather sensitive and very apathetic. Jayden-Rose was not always the earliest to rise nor was she the latest to fall, she truly enjoyed her sleep, it was the one place she could be with her love, restriction free. But there was something wrong, she gave Mantarok a goodbye nuzzle and forced herself to wake up.
Sure enough, her step-sister Airla was having a nightmare. Poor thing.. Moving carefully she maneuvered from her position close to her mother, over her brother to the white and blue kit and nudged her very softly whispering to her. "Airla? Shh.. It's just a bad dream.. Wake up, sister." Member: Floria
Gender: Female
Rank: Den Sister
Relations: All of Santos's family. Mate - Kabili.
Personality: Floria holds her family and her mate very close to her at this point in her life, unlike she used to. The pink lioness never makes a move without her Father's permission for she now knows that he knows best. Her mate is her partner in life, neither of them take orders from one another but are one another's saving grace, giving them the freedom to be adults but also still playful.
History: Second born to Santos and Adia's Second litter of cubs she was always the oddball cub. Against the King's wishes, Floria as an adult ran from the pride to a male her father forbade her from seeing and came home with a broken heart, a abused spirit and three newborn kittens. One of them has been abducted by their Father, and now she holds Jayden-Rose and Galahad close to her heart. Once she understood that she was supposed to step over herself to be a mother she found Kabili and his adopted daughter and allowed them both into her heart as well. The pink princess, in the midst of her hardcore slumber wiggled closer to Kabili as a reaction to the dream she was having with a smile upon her face. Oh the things she'd do to him when the moment once again came...
A very loud groan came from her dream as she cursed up a storm, there was something wrong with Jayden. Wrong enough to force her from her dream againt her will. Why should the cub be worried at such a peaceful time as this? The pink mother was not scheduled to wake up for hours still.
Silently she regained her consciousness and decided before she sprung into action to first peak her eye open and allow the situation to unfold, it may be a good experience. Her heart was already growing with pride and appreciation for her sensitive daughter at her actions thus far. Member: Preston
Gender: Female
Rank:
Relations: Pride Sister
Personality: Preston thinks quite highly of herself, but she allows the possibility that others are as good as and are better than her. A big step for those from her lineage. She takes a lot of pride in the fact that her mate is the head warrior and she does not mind the odd hours or the dedication he puts into his job. The Lunar's not a very social bug, too afraid of what others may think of her, preferring to be the quiet shy one than an unworthy mate to the lead warrior of her great pride.
History: Preston's parents splitting up messed her head, and forced her to reevaluate her position on elitism within the blood running through her body as she was taught. She found Razi and he helped her with the values she holds close today and he introduced her into the pride where she has barely left since then. With her mate out doing his rounds, Preston slept. It was very difficult for a lunar to sleep during the night time, for the geometrical shapes on he pelt actually glowed in the moonlight. It was something she was told she got from her father. Her ear was ever careful to listen for the roar of her protector throughout her sleep, deep down she worried for him immensely. If not from an enemy that gets one very lucky swipe than from a female more skilled than herself catching him offguard.

Airla squirmed a bit more, her dream beginning to fade. She whimpered again, and once more, before she was fully awake and clinging to her step-sister. "Jayden!" She squeaked, clinging harder. Letting out a terrified sob she pressed her face into the other cubs shoulder, not caring how pathetic she seemed. She was scared and confused. She didn't understand how this could be her fault.

A bit small for her age, Jayden nearly fell over when her sister cuddled into her, but she held up as strong as she could making shushing noises to try to calm her down. "It's okay Airla" The grey sister rubbed ther multi-colored paw up and down her back in a soothing mannor. Whispering, she spoke again, "Everything's alright now, there there."
