Welcome to Gaia! ::

I don't wanna be kept, I don't wanna be caged
I don't wanna be damned oh hell
I don't wanna be broke, I don't wanna be saved
I don't wanna be S.O.L.
Give me rolling hills so tonight can be the night that I stand among a thousand thrills
Can you cut me some slack
'Cause I don't wanna go back
I want a new day and age

QUESTS

I'll always welcome unique plots or breeding requests. I favor breedings with RPs not just hit and runs.

Quick RP Guide (my characters' personalities short and sweet)

Patch = Loving mom who is very very cub-like, playful, innocent, slowly gaining wisdom. Not up for any mating
Celestia = The Bhanu Pride's zany cub-minder. Speaks in rhymes and riddles and zones out in reflection a lot.
Horizon = Silent hunter, who can only be rped in night scenes. She has never been spotted during the day and seldom spotted at night. If she is seen it's because she let you see her or you are a magnificent look out. She isn't much of a talker, so when she does feel it necessary to speak up she can come off as sounding rude.
Rath = Egotistical kleptomaniac, who speaks suavely. He longs to start up a pride of thieves to go down in history. Known for breaking hearts and prides, though he's not a mean guy... just greedy.
Kero = Glow-in-the-dark lioness who wants to be accepted and fit in. Once a spoiled daughter of a large pride's leader, now she's a humble lonely wanderer.
Squall = God of Storms, but he doesn't want you to know. He makes sure everyone sees him as a plain grey lion. He doesn't want respect. He wants true pure friendship.

Name: Given to her because of the black patches on her paws and face.
Personality: Odd and creative. She's always thinking up something new and exciting. She loves telling stories and making up fun games. She would like to be a hunter just to show the male lions that she is powerfull and demands equal respect, but the job of cub watcher and raiser would suit her better because of her playfull personality. She is a free spirit when it comes to her strong beliefs and philosophies on life.
Bio: Patch, as a child, raised herself. Which explains her wild side. She met a cub named Kahawa who became her closest companion. They survived a terrible storm together. They decided to join a pride at a young age. The pride eventually crumbled and so they went on there way; once again without a family. They grew up. Patch didn't really know anyone but Kahawa. She tried to join a few prides but she disliked their rules and customs. Soon she was an adult, and sad that childhood was all gone. Her and Kahawa learned that they were perfect team. They both confessed their feelings. Now the are madly in love.
Patch recently adopted a cub named Airi. Then she gave birth to 4 healthy cubs. There was a 5th but she died in labor. Two of the cubs are gods/godesses. The cubs were born in a storm. Storms are now very symbolic to the family. Now the family may be joining a fresh pride, which supported them and saved Patch's life during labor. Patch loves the life of a mom, because she is rather cub-like. She will always think about her lost cub with much regret, but that's expected.

Home: She can usually be found sleeping and hanging out in caves and by ponds.
Favorite food: Fish
Best friend: Kahawa
Favorite games: Butterfly chasing and drawing pictures in the mud with her claws. Some things never change even if you grow up.
Most prized belonging: Her family

FAMILY
Mate:
Kahawa - hannie1405
-Not blood relatives, but after surviving a devastating storm together they became like brother and sister. (Nether of them have a real brother or sister) Patch vows to always protect him. EDIT: Now that they're older Kahawa and patch are mates.
Children:
Airi - hawaiiancat2007
Adopted daughter who reminds her so much of herself. She's so cute and carefree. Patch sees a bright future when she looks into Airi's eyes.
Cielo
Her last cub born. She died during the labor. Patch swears she saw her in a vision during birth. The cub is now and angel. Her resting place is at the birth temple. Patch dreams about her and talks to her constantly. Patch longs to go back in time and save her cub. She is happy that her little angel watches over her.

RELATIONS
Allihandra - She had good intentions. Patch was inspired to become a great lioness after promising Allihandra that she would prove her worth.
Suri - She has a calm collected vibe, strong opinions, and wisdom. She might just live up to being a leader.
Marne - Dalin or not, Marne is a nice lion that Patch trusts. He saved the lives of her children after a horrible labor.
Hinyari - The godmother of Patch's kids. Wherever she went off to, Patch hopes she found a pride and a family. Hopefully they will meet again.
Caelum - If Airi likes him then he must be a good guy.
Saphira - They haven't formally met. Patch wonders why she looks so upset.
Darius - A brave lion.
Kero - Very helpful. She makes friends quickly but she didn't say much about herself.

Deceased: Cielo

Wait for something better
No one behind you
Watching your shadows
This feeling won't go

Crooked wheels keep turning
Children, are you learning
Acclimatize but don't you lose the plot
A history of blisters
Your brothers and your sisters
Somewhere in the pages we forgot

Name:Horizon
Personality: "A stealthy assassin" her friends often called her as cubs. All her life Horizon has acted like a phantom. She sleeps during the day surrounded by dirt and dead grass which hide her from view. At night she creeps around the shadows. She is silent and deadly.

Horizon is unlike her friends who are clever, wicked, and speak as if their tongues are vipers. She doesn't talk much because she finds small talk unnecessary. She would never fight another lion; again "unnecessary". All she really cares about is her personal heath and seclusion from the world.

Most lions have probably been inches away from Horizon and never even noticed. The only time anyone can even meet Horizon is if they are a friend of a friend or if they stole her prey as she hunts at night.

Why is she so sneaky and antisocial? Well, her father was a weak lion due to illness. He raised her and 5 other cubs alone without a spouse. At night Horizon would sneak out and try to hunt for the family. She trained herself to be sneaky enough to ketch food despite her size and she had to be sneaky enough to creep past her father each night.

As for Horizon's love life; she wants a man who is wise and could be a good father to their cubs. She doesn't want some overly tough showoff loser. She's though enough to do all the hunting and "man's work" herself. I want her to have someone who can make her a bit more loving and social.
She probably wants someone who looks as healthy as possible.

Favorite Food: Doesn't care what she eats as long as she's nurished.

Favorite Thing To Do: Doesn't have time to play and do anything but what's important.

Prized Posesion: Shadows and her fur

RELATIONS
Marne - He seems alright for a day dweller. His eyes are intense.

In the dark, for a while now
I can't stay, so far
I can't stay much longer
Riding my decision home

Exoneration lost his eraser
But my forgiver found the sun
And there are twisted days that I take comfort
Cause I'm not the only one
No, I'm not the only one

Once part of a large powerful pride. Her father was their leader and her mother was admired for her beauty. Both of them were highly respected. When Kero was born she seemed to be a normal cub with beautiful fur. As night fell, her family realized that her spots were more unique than they thought. Kero's spots glow like fire flies at night. It's no blessing from Zahina, for a mark like this is the trickery of Zolua. To have such an abnormal birth-defect is a dishonor to the pride. The pride itself is know for their very natural and camouflaged fur. Glowing in the dark would be a hinderance to the pride. And so her parents had to keep it well hid, but as she grew it became harder and harder to hide. Eventually the secret was out and Kero was kicked out.

Having been a spoiled and honored daughter of a pride leader, the next few years were quite humbling and treturous. She was forced to learn things she never knew, mainly about the Dalins. To this day she doesn't understand that Dalins aren't really good to hand around. In fact the first one she met she regards as a good friend and hero.

Her one skill is hunting, but only in the day time. Her pride raised her to be a hunter. Without that she probably would have died once kicked out.

She never went back home. She has begun to accept herself and now searches for a place where she can fit in.
