Mogami Hello there! Contests! Contests!! Contests!!! Here's a few "Mo wants to rp" contests to liven up the thread and guild! All the lions will be free as you’ll have to work (hard) for them. #1 – Create a CharacterTake the word next to each lion and create a character. No more than 2-4 paragraphs, please! Just use the word as a base and get your creative juices in motion. You have total freedom with the lion in the middle as you might have figure out already. =D The winners will be decided in a week or so… unless I read a description I just happen to love (in which case the lion will be awarded immediately).  [b]Form:[/b]
[b]Lion’s word:[/b]
[b]Lion’s name:[/b]
[b]Description:[/b] #2 – Play with me! - Won by hawaiiancat2007! This sweet chocolate dude didn’t get an owner on the last Weekly Two so he’s back with a little something to offer. The winner will be able to get him and a custom accessory and a custom familiar (with the exception of the bobcat). How do you get such goodies? Well, you’ll have to work for it!
In celebration of the birth of the youngest Zahina pride, this guy will join the Bhanu members. To win him, you must open an rp thread on the guild’s pride subforum with the title “(Lion’s Name): Let me in!” and you must convince Malek (the pride leader) to let you join. Basically the person who rps his way into the pride and gets Malek to say “Welcome to the Bhanu pride” is the winner. Malek – in all his alternate universes - will be played by me.  #3 – Full Custom - Create a pride member from scratch! Lion or Lioness, Zahina or Da’lin, Regular Lineart or Edited… Do you have a design in mind? Would you like to see it on a lion? For FREE?! Well, here’s your chance! The winner will be chosen based on the design but mostly on the personality. Read the pride’s description (it’s really short), be creative and give the Bhanu a new family member. [b]Lion’s name:[/b]
[b]Lion’s description (Gender, Religion, Lines and Appearance):[/b]
[b]One simple accessory is allowed. Description: [/b]
[b]Personality/History: [/b] Note: There is only one task available at the Bhanu pride for Da’lins so if that’s your choice, ask me for more information. #4 – The hidden prize. There is a male lion (edited lions) waiting for an owner as well. He will only be awarded if someone can get 3 people who are not regulars at Zahina to enter the contests. So if three people say “I was referred by X” then the hidden lion will be given to said X. Minor changes and a small custom accessory will be allowed.

Contest 1Buffy_the_Bloody I entered, based completely on their personality. I really didnt reply in a Rp response way. I figured that we were supposed to describe what they were like. If I am wrong, I will fix it, just lemme know<3 Form:Lion’s word: Thief Lion’s name: Ferrah [Short for Ferret] Description: Ferrah is a Kleptomaniac. She sees things she likes, and takes them. She almost cannot help the deep inward feeling she gets from the rush of stealing. She is extremely hardheaded, and vicious. She will strick out in a heartbeat if she thinks you will keep her from her treasure. She likes to bury her treasures, and is usually always guarding the spot where she hides everything, unless shes out taking more. She will eat anything, even going down as eating little humans should they wander close. She is a mean, heartless soul, who chooses to live on her own accord. Forget getting close to her, she just isnt going to have it. She prefers to live a life of chaos, and tries to cause as much trouble as she can without causing herself physical injury. Shes a strong lioness, but she will not risk her safety if she doesnt have to. Form:Lion’s word: Fierce Lion’s name: Lorcan [Little Fierce one] Description: Behind the ruby eyes of the male, is a past that is not shared with just anyone. He has been through a hard life. His body showing it by the rank he has achieved within himself. He feels himself strong, and powerful. The essence of brave.
He doesnt like to be wrong, but he usually isnt. He is a leader, and likes to be in charge of anything and everything.
Lorcan sometimes goes by 'Lore', which he is rather fond of as well. This male, will never back down. No matter what the cost, even if it should be his life. He feels he was meant to be a protector, and a protector he will be.
Hes a very knightlike lion. He tends to see things in a very observant fashion. Nothing gets by him, and he is incredibly devoted to the idea of loyalty, love, and honor. He one days hopes to become a great Male of his own pride, and to defend himself and his followers until his dying days.hawaiiancat2007 For Contest #1:
Form:
Lion’s word: Thief
Lion’s name: LuHawk
Description:
Raised by thieves and murderers, LuHawk has never known anything other than her trade. Her own parents abandoned her, leaving her to be taught by absolute strangers. Her skill was great, she was quick and light on her paws, and could sneak in almost anywhere completely unseen or unheard by others. No object was too great for her to steal.
But she grew up lacking any trust in her fellow pride members, any of them would happily rob her blind if given the chance, and she grew bored of being weighed down by so many others. She longed for a life of freedom, so one day she left in the middle of the night, no explanation given, taking all her riches and spoils with her.
She cares for no-one but herself, happily stealing things from cubs without a second of hesitation. Although she isn't the most amazing fighter, lacking the power necessary for that, she is quick and lithe, and knows no such thing as a fair fight. She will use every dirty trick she can to defeat her opponent, but will often avoid fights with her superb skill to seemingly vanish.
Form:
Lion’s word: Fierce
Lion’s name: Bedwyr
Description:
Bedwyr is an amazing fighter in more ways than one. Not only does he possess great physical strength necessary to combat almost any opponent, but he also knows many tactics to overcome the enemy. He has developed many moves of his own, that often stun his opponents as they simply do not know how to combat them, and his movements are often deadly accurate, hitting the mark before the other lion can comprehend what is happening.
However, his greatest offense is also his greatest weakness that will one day invariably lead to his demise. Whilst being aggressive, he finds it impossible and almost shameful to play the defensive. Even against a much greater opponent, he will attack with full power and often leave many openings in his guard, allowing for him to be defeated. As a consequence of his skill, other fields of training are greatly lacking. He is a poor hunter at best, and many times returns empty-pawed from long hunts.
His fierce temper can also be set off at the tiniest thing, and when he starts fighting it is impossible to control him. The blood lust rises within, and he can thing of nothing but death. Because of this, he is poor at making decisions, very rash and not considering all sides. He will instantly leap towards the side that will shed the most blood, regardless of the consequences.
Form:
Lion’s word: King
Lion’s name: Alaric
Description:
Alaric is a lion who knows exactly what he wants: Everything. Selfish and more than a little spoilt, he will demand to get anything that catches his eye, which I assure you a lot of things do. But not only objects catch his eye, females most certainly hold a certain interest for him. If he sees a pretty female, he will follow her and try to add her to his group.
On the other hand, he has a very regal outwards appearance. He always keeps his head held high, and walks with great poise and dignity. Believing himself to be better than others, he looks down upon them and often has other lions do his dirty work for him. He loathes getting his paws dirty. It makes a lion wonder, how on earth did such a lion come to be?
Well, his parents were the leaders of a huge pride, and he was the sole heir. Everyone revered him, and he grew up used to a soft and comfortable life in which everyone did everything for him at the blink of an eye. He saw others as servants, not higher beings like himself. When the time came for him to step up and become the leader, he did not wish to and left the pride, but could not drop his old way of life. Tigeria Here we go. Yay for creative juices. Form: Lion’s word: Fierce Lion’s name: Jarek (polish for Fierce/Strong) Description: Jarek is fierce by nature. He is highly capable of hunting on his own. He does enjoy company of others, but is naturally “improper”. He is nearly the lowest of the low. He has morals, but not many. They are what he calls his “warrior codes”. He does not stray from them at all and will never go against them. Fierce is the best name for his behavior for he does not care what others think of him only that his warrior code is followed, if that means pushing a lady lioness out of danger and into mud he will do so to keep her safe, even though he is a bit rash at first he means well. Most lions and lioness’s consider him impolite, crude, spiteful, irritating, and sometimes cruel. He tries his best to be polite but with his mannerisms he doesn’t come off as a welcome guest at a party. He once had a better more upstanding life, but as in most things he lost that to the open night sky with stars shining bright enough to sway anyone. He loves the way the stars seem to twinkle and with them in the sky so does his soul desire more than anything to be up there with his one true love the moon. He gave up everything he was for the freedom to be under the stars every night. That is why he does not have the best manners, or the best speech. He left at such a young age that he did not learn proper etiquette, so he is basically society impaired. Form: Lion’s word: Thief Lion’s name: Leto (Greek for Hidden/Forgotten) Description: As her name suggests she is great at hiding and being forgotten. It is like a little gift from the gods. She can slip into places most could never fit. She has an uncanny ability to impersonate the higher ranking lion/lioness. She also has the habit of “taking” things that are shiny. She when she is not at work is very laid back and does not look like a thief fresh from “treasure hunting” at some poor unsuspecting victim. She strikes when she sees an opportunity and can make a sure exit. She is a smart thief; any non smart thief’s are caught and punished, she can slip in and slip out like a snake on sand. She may seem intimidating at first but compared to her skills she is far more formidable and any lion caught in her way should use caution, she is a thief that is armed with teeth, claws, and intelligence a deadly mix of the three. She was not always a thief, but being on her own and being smaller than male lions made her desperate so she began stealing to survive at fist thinking to herself that the gods would have wanted this way. Her mother died when Leto was young, her father was as most are gone, disappeared after she was born. Leto had no choice but to steal for the food that would keep her alive. Her stealing at a young age brought her to start stealing for a better more gold lined cloud. No one has yet to catch her so she continues on stealing. Form: Lion’s word: Riches Lion’s name: Edgar Description: Spoiled rotten from the time he was born to the time he left his pride. Edgar is a lion that is as snotty as a lion with the flu. He thinks the world revolves around his arse and lets it be known that in his old pride HE should have been King. He is not shy to take what he thinks belongs to him stepping on all those under him so that his star is shining far above others. His head is so bloated that it should surely pop. He has a bad temper along with his need for power along with everything in a six mile radius. Selfish does not begin to explain his behavior he is just a greedy little stuck up prissy prep of a cub that should anyone tell him no he springs in to a full tantrum and wildly flails until he gets what he wants. You would think that he has everything, but he is missing one thing self-confidence.
Should anything or anyone get in his way be prepared for a battle that could make a grown man cry. He cannot fight to save his all important arse in a fight against a rabbit. Such is kings on their thrones, they send warriors to fight their battles and Edgar is a powerful manipulator. He would rather send someone to hunt than bloody his own claws. Some say he even manipulates his prey into letting him dine on them. His skill of manipulation is one to be wary of he can make the most hard of minds do his bidding with a couple of skillful words here and another line of deceit there, he can make the best of lovers fight against one another to get his way.

Contest 3Tigeria Its hard to resist the pull of a custom of an old character. Contest #3 entry darn my overflowing creativity. Lion’s name: Carmon Lion’s description (Gender, Religion, Lines and Appearance): Male, Zahina, Edited mane please ( nothing special just a jumbled mane or if you prefer bed head like mane), He is: Dark grey (#2d2d2d) base with green (#00a650) under markings starting from the ears stopping at the chest going down the forearm until the elbow up from that point over the belly then going down the back legs until the knee joint, with a light green (#82ca9c) over marking on the back starting from shoulders stopping a little away from the green marking following the marking down the back also makes a triangle over the nose. The nose is a dark green (#006129) the dark green also makes up a .Oo. kind of pattern that goes across the shoulder and on to the back there are only four dots in the pattern.(visible on both side of body. {he is bilaterally symmetrical} ) His eyes are a pale blue (#7aa9b2) with the .Oo. marking under in the base color. His mane and tail fluff are the base color with the green in streaks. On the tail fluff: the green starts from the base of the fluff and goes to the tip. I’ll trust you with the mane. {if I somehow win I'll send ref pics of the markings} One simple accessory is allowed. Description: a single gold swirled tail ring/band that is at the base of his tail. If possible it has a pale blue stripe in the middle of it (the blue is supposed to be beads but flat stripe of coloring is fine). Personality/History: His personality: Bouncy, he never stops: talking, tapping his front toes, looking around he is always doing something. Some would say he is nervous, but he is just full of energy. He has two speeds zero and fifty when it comes to moving, talking, etc. His history: He was born to an average mother; his father was a roving lion that happened to have a one night stand full of mistakes with his mother. When he was born he was a nosy cub always crying. He was the only one in his litter. No known reason for his single birth. When he became a child no one knew where he was from one time to the next he was everywhere. He was missing more than he was there. He was always out practicing how to hunt or something. He was (still is) not the best navigator he was always getting lost during hunting practice with his mum. He got lost like usual, when his pride was moving to the temple for breeding reasons. He was running about staying out from under paws the best he could, he had already learned to hunt by this point and was about to become a juvenile, he went off on his own to hunt and scout up ahead. He had strayed too far from his pride and ended up losing sight of his mother, his pride’s leader, and his entire pride. He searched for days that slowly became months that turned into a year without his pride. Unknowing, to him at the time, he had been going around in circles. He had changed from a bouncy little cub to an all-out jittery adult that is excitable at nearly everything. He clings to others like glue, it is hard to lose him when he has met you; he clings because he is lonely. He is undoubtedly loyal to his friends. He is almost dog like in his entire being he is obedient and loyal to a fault and that is how he has been hurt by those that use that to their advantage. Mostly he is hurt by the fact that they tell him they will be back, but they never return. He is not stable on his own. He is not the best to travel with seeing as he has few navigating skills. He now is searching for a pride to take him in. He rarely smiles like he once used to. He has a knowing fear that his loyalty could be used for the wrong thing and is very skittish for the fact. (to be truthful this is a short revision of what I had planned for him I would rather not go too into detail about his history for personal preferences.)

Lion’s name: Cinna
Lion’s description (Gender, Religion, Lines and Appearance): Female. Zahina. Standard lines? Her base color is quite pale, I'm thinking #FACA79. She had darker paws and legs, I'm thinking this color #AB813C, which fades into the paler base color near her shoulders. The tips of her ears should also be this color, and maybe some random markings on her face as well (I'll leave these up to you). She should have a few stripes upon her back, similar to a tiger's (but not over her whole body, obviously xP) in the color #341F15. Her tail should be a mixture of two different colors, some strands one color and some strands another. I'm thinking quite a dark color mixed with a lighter one, but I'll leave the exact colors up to you! Her eyes should be a bright blue.
One simple accessory is allowed. Description: A pair of feather earrings, similar to this style, but the feathers should be colored like so: [x] (the middle one)
Personality/History:
Personality: The best way to describe Cinna is outgoing. She loves taking risks, and will do things just for the hell of doing them. She is a confident lioness, seeming to know what she wants and almost always at least trying to get there. She doesn't appear to be bothered too much by what other people say, and is fairly light-hearted. To some, she may appear brave, but that isn't really the truth, its more that she doesn't think things through before doing them, and when she does she often forgets to consider the risks, so the danger never truly sets in.
However, embedded deep within her is just a spark of insecurity. She is never sure of what her true purpose in life is, and she just needs someone to really rely on her and keep her going. If someone she is close to is about to embark on a dangerous mission, she will be terrified and often tries to take their place, afraid of losing them. Because of this, it often makes other lions believe she is a bit of a dare-devil, even though she's only doing it because she'd rather get hurt herself than see those she loves suffer.
She's also rather flirtatious. Cinna is very open around males, and would definitely have a couple of flings once in a while. However, if she were to ever have a mate (and due to her insecurity issues, it would be good for her), she'd be 100% loyal to him, and even though she'd be open and might even flirt once or two, she'd never cheat on him or go behind his back.
History: Born to a loving couple, you wouldn't think that Cinna had anything other than a normal childhood. She was raised well, and was always surrounded by the people (or rather, lions) she loved. What she didn't know is that her parents had been raised to believe that when the cub comes of age, you should chase it out so it can start its own life.
So, when her parents chased her out, she was devastated and didn't understand why. It is at this point that her insecurity issues began to develop, and she's never been quite the same since. Even though she now knows why they did that, she needs someone to tell her she's needed even now. That's probably why in the end, she decided to join the Bhanu pride. She needed somewhere where she was loved and belonged, and it provided the perfect opportunity.

Lion’s name: Karadiri
Lion’s description (Gender, Religion, Lines and Appearance): Female, Zahina, Edited lines if possible? (It's a hair edit. Basically I want her to actually have a sort of mane, not like SUPERLONG, but three separate streaks down her head. Ref, except, y'know... good. And not drawn with a pen tool and a touchpad. >.>... Model is Tamasi. She doesn't get enough lurv.)
Karadiri is based on an OC I have, and so her appearance was kind of hard to translate into a lion. Karadira 1.0 is a humanoid, but I'll try to translate it here. Her base coat is a light brown, almost a caramel color. She's covered down her back in thick jagged stripes, dark brown in color. If her hair-tuft is edited, then the three separated clumps would be black. If not, please alternate between brown and black to create a clumped effect. Her toes should be black as well, fading up her legs to the caramel-y brown. Her tail tuft should also be black. Her eyes, finally, are gold, and she has dark brown spots on her maw, very much like freckles.
One simple accessory is allowed. Description: I don't really have any accessories I want for her, but I would like her claws to be out, and the edited hair if possible. :3
Personality/History: Karadiri is not flirtacious. She is not nice. She is not sweet. She is, in essence, her father's daughter, which makes a fair bit of sense considering her history. But we're getting ahead of ourselves here. Karadiri was always her father's child, a tomboy through and through. For a long, long time, she was convinced she was a boy, and before hormones kicked in and her mane didn't grow out like all the other boys, she had some others pretty fooled too. But alas, it was not to be. Despite being like her father, she has her mother's gold eyes. It marks her as a bit of an outcast; the product of a coupling between two very, very different lions. Some rumors are she's a Da'lin mutt, but she has neither the horns nor the fangs to prove it. Others just say her father, Toudiri, got into a bad spot and ended up bringing Karadiri home with him. She wasn't part of a pride, but the rogues they travelled with might as well have been her own little pride of sorts. She grew up taking after Toudiri, sneaking off to watch him hunt and fight, and she loved the bloodshed. One day, she swore she'd be just like her father, slaughtering and ripping things about just like he did. And then he died, and she woke up. See, putting yourself in danger all the time... It's well and good for a cause you believe in. But for mindless bloodshed? Only to die and be remembered for nothing? She didn't like that idea so much. She's joining the Bhanu pretty much right after her father's death, so she's still a little screwed up mentally and keeps second-guessing herself. But one thing is for certain: She is a Warrior, goddamnit. She worked too hard not to be.
And now for the history. This is kind of long, I'm sorry.
Karadiri's parents are Toudiri, and a lioness whose name escapes Karadiri. Toudiri met the lioness when he was away from his wandering friends, and when he found out she was carrying his cubs, he couldn't just leave her. So for those few months, they were a family. As soon as the litter of five was born, Toudiri herded through for the strongest male, but none was to be found. The only male in the litter was a weak little runt. So he took the oldest, biggest girl, and left the lioness to raise the other four on her own. What did he care for those cubs? When he returned to the wandering pride, he was ridiculed for getting some girl knocked up and leaving her, so Toudiri lied and has always told Karadiri she has no siblings, that they died during childbirth. She accepted that, and as she grew older, the pride moved on from his little... rendezvous with the outsider.
The wandering pride they were part of kept on wandering, and Karadiri got older without incident, though it was noted throughout the pride that she was an odd girl. Most of the other cubs in the pride liked to play with each other, but Karadiri had no part in it. She was often biting the tails of the Council members and the Leader, and making herself a general nuisance, but as she grew older and more responsible she became the errand-girl of the Council, delivering messages to and fro. This wasn't what she wanted to do, but it was a start. When she wasn't delivering messages through the wanderers, she was watching the lions hunt and kill. It was their way to recruit rogues or kill them, and Karadiri loved it. She thought, really thought, there was a purpose behind it all. Convert Or Die. That was their way.
When she was old enough to be considered an adult, she set her eyes on the real prize: Becoming a Warrior. She worked hard, and her previous work for the Council certainly helped, but it wasn't enough. Girls weren't supposed to be Warriors. They were supposed to be Healers and Lovers, Mothers and Spirit-Ladies. Karadiri didn't accept the word No, not from the Council and certainly not from that hotheaded leader. She kept going, kept fighting for it, and even when Toudiri demanded she stopped, she refused. This was what she wanted, it was what she knew she belonged doing. Not delivering messages like a little errand-cub. So, after many months of fighting tooth and nail for what she wanted, the Council bid her one task: She would accompany the Warriors on a hunt, and if she held her own, they'd let her become a Warrior. But it was a hard task, nothing simple as hunting: They were attacking an established Pride, in an attempt to take their land.
This was terrifying, but Toudiri showed no fear, and his daughter would not allow herself to show the fear that she felt. Karadiri felt something in the pit of her stomach was off but this was her chance to prove herself. She wasn't going to ruin it by being scared. When they came to the Pride's lands, though, the pride was there waiting for them. It wasn't the fight they anticipated. It was a fair fight, relatively, but they were relying on surprising the pride and slaughtering most of them before they could become organized. Someone sold them out. But they fought, tooth and nail, and they died that day. Karadiri had tried to convinced Toudiri to run, but he wouldn't. So she fought.
And instead of staying and dying, like a coward, she turned and fled. When she returned to the Pride along, the Leader was waiting there for news. She told him of the ambush. He told her that it was planned. Karadiri's mind was in a whirl from the death of her father, so knowing that they'd been sent to their deaths... All Karadiri remembers is seeing red. But when her vision cleared, she was washing the blood off her paws, miles away from the Wandering Pride. Convert or Die didn't seem to work out as well as she'd thought. If things could be so corrupt within, how could they convince others to join? Mind in a whirl, she found herself simply walking with no purpose. It wasn't long before she stumbled into the Bhanu, and...
Well. Let's just hope the Bhanu don't share the same tagline as the Wandering Pride.
