This is quite simple. RP in the Nchi`mahadhi lands and earn a point. One RP equates to one ticket. These RPs should be completed by SoAs usual standards. Each person involved in the RP is responsible for posting their own form or they will not be added to the list.

[If you need a buddy to RP with just let me know and I'd be happy to RP with you!]

Prompts - (Just something to help get you started.)

1. Flood - The pride is overcoming a tragic flood that wreaked some havoc on the lands and members alike. The members themselves are still having to pull themselves out of the mess and into a better place. Possible discussions could include: Shauku is back. / Flood damages, personal woes. / Injuries? / Did your lion go missing and return? / Helping neighbors within the pride.
   
2. Ambassador - Rumor has it an ambassador from a neighboring pride made herself known. She came during the welcoming back of Shauku, the Malenga, and during that time they agreed that their prides would have some interesting things to share. Possible discussions could include: Who is this ambassador? / Bad feelings? / Good feelings? / Exchange ideas?
   
3. Travel - Yet another rumor has been going around that Shauku plans to take a group of lions (see below events) to the Bahari`mtoto to help with the beginnings of an alliance. Possible discussions could include: Why is this happening? / Bad feelings? / Good feelings? / Ideas?

This SoA is known for being a buff on the prides history. It's no wonder he's being brought along for the first expedition to the Bahari`mtoto! This neighboring pride has come up on the Nchi's radar during the return of their current Malenga, Shauku.

What better way to arrive at a place than to have gifts of some kind? The chances are very high that the prides can trade between one another and this would be an opportune moment to show them what the Nchi`mahadhi have to offer. Show your talents! (Pictures are always a plus, love seeing some arts.)

This lioness is a particular creative individual in the themes related to the prides instruments, chants, and dances. These are very important traditions to them and she has been chosen to represent these traditions in her traveling party. Give me an idea of her thoughts and something that she might throw together for such an event!

Personality/History: Keep this brief, but give an idea of what they are about.

Rumor has it that the pride you'll be visiting doesn't have instruments. This would be a shock. The musical instruments and chants of the pride are precious to their traditions.

What does she think of this rumor? (Sure it might be a surprise, but what does she take from it.)

Has she prepared anything to present to the Bahari`mtoto? This can be as specific or vague as you'd like. The more detail the better as it will likely actually be used at a later date.

[Pollack]

Name: Urania
Name Meaning: One of the Greek muses. Goddess of Astronomy
Rank: Diplomat
Personality: Urania's life has been shaped by the fact that she was born with severe Photophobia. (A sensitivity to light) Since she could not go out an experience growing up and playing with other children, nor

having much of a 'normal' life she grew inward instead of outward. Though she is an introvert by nature she has learned to accept herself and because of it isn't stricken with the confidence issues like many who share her personality type are.

Urania has a almost unnerving since of calm about her. She isn't one to openly express her opinions or open up to people readily. She isn't to say unfriendly, however she can come off as not being 100% genuine at times.

She does have an extreme passion for learning and teaching. With all the free time she found at her disposal it lead to her having plenty of opportunity to experiment, study, and analyze the art of science and how the world works. If people are willing to listen, then she will always be willing to share her findings!

What might you offer the Bahari`mtoto as an artisan? Given that the Bahari has it's own set of alchemists and teachers she would probably choose something that represent something that comes a bit closer to her heart.

She would spend weeks crafting intricate maps of the visible star systems and mapping out known (or recently created) constellations! She reuses any abnormally smooth and normally useless pelts from the pride's kills to create these maps. She hand-crafts specialized paints from the dark soil, and very hard to harvest bio-luminescence moss from cave systems to come as close as possible to bringing the real deal inside dens and learning centers.

Do you have a specialty? Leather pieces and educational toys. Who says learning can't be fun and look pretty too!?
