History...
Once, long ago, there were many packs of Na'vi, and they were a proud and mighty people. Large for their breed, the mountain Na'vi were varying shades of blue with dark stripes, black manes, and yellow eyes. Unusual among dragons, they had unusually long manes, especially near their ears. This hair was typically braided and referred to as a "queue".

But that was long ago.

It started with the plague, really. Although isolated enough to survive largely untouched, the Na'vi still found that they had to accept outsiders to prevent inbreeding and help rebuild numbers. Not everybody was happy about it, but the (very occasional) outsider had been accepted before, so there was a precedent.

And they rebuilt and thrived and no longer needed to accept outsiders.

Then the 'Cons came.

The Na'vi are a strong and proud people, and succeeded in fighting off the invading pack, but not without heavy losses. And once more, they find themselves in the difficult position of having to accept outsiders. Not all dragons accept this, and tensions are running high in the pack. Will they survive the rebuilding?

A note about outsiders and those of mixed blood...
Outsiders are looked down upon, period. They really have to prove themselves to be let into the pride, and they have to work their way up the ranks. Even once fully accepted, many pure-blood Na'vi will look down on them.

Not all members are pleased about the need to accept outsiders in the first place, so there are very strict pelt restrictions. Only the following colors are acceptable:
Black, blue, purple, white. White is only acceptable in small quantities.
Eye color doesn't matter, but the more you look like a "pure-blood" Na'vi, the better you'll get treated.

Dragons born into the pride are considered full members, although not all dragons see them as such. Any dragon that is born into the pride that doesn't match the pelt color restrictions (this shouldn't happen, but it's possible - yay throwbacks?) will be kicked out of the pride once they're old enough to fend for themselves. (Adolescence.)

Contests...
User ImageConcept/RP Contest
This lovely girl is Na'vi, born and raised, but her pelt still clearly shows that she has the blood of an outsider running through her veins. How does she feel about this? And how does she feel about the need to have more outsiders join the pride?

Note: She may not leave the pack. There is no end date set for the contest yet, but don't worry - I'll give a week's notice for people to get their forms in.

To enter, fill out this form:
[size=14][color=red]My story is written on my coat.[/color]

[b]Meaning
[b]Existing member?[/b] Yes

I'll put her as a warrior on the grounds that she's totally badass. (Also, I'm pretty sure the ranks are the same thing in the movie. I just like varietyyyy!)

I thought she was a hunter in the movie...
PostPosted: Sun Feb 14, 2010 7:53 pm


Yessss... but I don't think there was that much difference between the two ranks in the movie, to be honest. I looked on the Avatar Wiki and I got the definite feeling that the ranks are Patriarch, Matriarch, everybody else. So I found a Na'vi dictionary and pulled some ranks out of my a**.

Cel, which one do you want? We don't have to stick to things exactly.
