Name: Siasa'busara "cautious wisdom" Colorist: Mila (cub & juve), Ecavi (adol & adult) Gender: Female Parents: ? x ? Offspring:Mātau Stage:Adult (cub, juve & adol) Text Color: #CC9900 Rank/Affiliation: Goddess of Wisdom; Rogue Friends/Travelling Companions: Amesema'uhuru History: Temporary Powers: - Introspection Siasa's presence makes those around her more inclined to stop and think about the results of decisions they make, and in the case of a being who is inclined to making...poor, rash, or unwise decisions, might prompt them to consider things a bit more thoroughly. This effect will weaken after they leave her presence, and fully dissipate over the next 1-3 days. The power also would not mandate that the affected party act upon their more educated choice(s), just make them more aware of why they may (or may not be) poor decisions. In an indecisive individual, this could potentially make decisiveness less likely, since they might get enmired in thoughts of possible consequences
Permanent Power: - Knowledge is Power Siasa can permantly "bless" a creature with the ability to have access to her wisdom/to have to consider the potential wise/unwise outcomes of decisions they are making, better enabling them to make informed, wiser choices. Since wisdom is not always about being more intelligent, it is more about making them mindful of consequence, or what is likely to result. It does not give them memories of how that wisdom was earned (in her current incarnation, even she doesn't have that; just the wisdom one earns from those experiences).
She considers this to be a gift, not a punishment, and so would not grant it to beings that annoyed or failed to impress her. This is a permanent effect unless she chooses to remove it, or if another god with a suitable power removes it.) RPs:[1] [x] [x] [2] [3] [4] [5]

Name: Usiri'njozi "private illusion" Colorist: Mila/Dust Gender: Male Parents: Radhi'nuru x Kita'mauti Stage:Adult & mortal(cub, juve, adol) Text Color: #330066 Rank/Affiliation: God of Sleep; Rogue Friends/Travelling Companions: none, as yet History: Temporary Powers: - Naptime Usiri'njozi's presence makes those around him sleepy - depending on how strong their will to stay awake, they would be more or less inclined to acting on it. This is also directly impacted by proximity, and while he can't actively turn it on, he can concentrate to reduce its effect for a time (he's not typically inclined to do so, however). Other gods would be likely to find this effect is felt less strongly than a mortal would, and it would dissipate as he moved out of eyesight. For beings already asleep, they would be more likely to sleep more deeply, and would be less likely to rouse until he goes out of sight.
-Restless Slumber If so inclined, he can make it so that sleep is not restful - it doesn't create nightmares, or anything like that, but a victim of this particular power would find themself waking up more exhausted than they were when they went to sleep. He has to actively use this on someone, and at most it would last a day or two. Not a power he would be likely to use, unless seriously provoked.
-A Good Night's Sleep A direct opposite of Restless Slumber, he can make sleep more restful, so that a mortal (or god) would awaken feeling refreshed and well rested, even if they only took a short nap. While he would be more inclined to use this, he does find it taxing, so isn't likely to do so unless he has a good reason to do so, or takes a particular liking to a mortal. Like Restless Slumber, the effects would last no more than a day or two. Permanent Power: - Rip Van Winkle Usiri'njozi can permanently put a being to sleep - to where their metabolism would slow so much that they would almost appear dead (and so could sleep for months, or possibly years without dying of starvation, or aging). They would sleep through poking, prodding, loud noises, etc, until either a god came across them whose powers allowed them to lift the curse, or he chooses to remove it.
This would not be a power he would use lightly (and for me to have him do so would need to be a thoroughly discussed plot), since he's not an unkind being (he can be a somewhat selfish one, however). RPs:[1] [2] [3] [4]

Name: Us'kali Galu'nadi Colorist: Aris Ravenstar Gender: Female Parents: ? x ? Stage:Adult(deceased) Text Color: Blue Rank/Affiliation: Alu'ladi/ Ela'wadiyi - Sky Clan Friends/Travelling Companions: n/a History:
Us'kali is the old adu'ladi of the Sky Clan, and has seen far too many winters. Her mate is long dead of the Plague, and two of her children are dead, as well as most of her clan. She is Ina'li's strongest supporter and strong right hand in times of need; but her energy is falling short, and she spends more time sleeping than anything. She's an amazing storyteller, however, and when the clans meet together, often tell stories to the children of the spirits or the glory days of their clan. She misses her mate dearly, who had been the former wanidatsi.
Frustrated with the pride seeming to fall apart around her, Us'kali left, taking to the southlands, where she met up with Binti, a youngster with a smart mouth and a foul temper. In time, her son Ama found her, and the trio, eventually, made their way back to the Ela'wadiyi pridal lands, where Us'kali got herself pregnant, feeling it was important to keep the bloodline going. She died giving birth to five cubs, who she left in Binti's care. RP Logs: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [5 [part 2)] [Solo]

Name: Binti'Sokota "Daughter of the Wind" Colorist: Mila/Dust (Ela tatts added by Safaia) Gender: Female Parents: ? x ? Stage:Adult (with tatts, adol) Text Color: Green Rank/Affiliation: Huntress/Ela'wadiyi - Sky Clan Friends/Travelling Companions: Shujaa, Woha'li History: From the moment she was born, her mother recognized that there was something...different about her daughter. Whereas the rest of her litter were all average looking, Binti was BORN with odd markings that swirled gracefully across her coat, giving her a distinct appearance. She also noted, with some reservation, that her newly born daughter was...fiercely independent, almost from the moment she was born. The newly born cub had, even before learning how to walk, tried many times to CRAWL away from the warmth and security represented by her mother and siblings. It was thus that, with a wry expression, her mother conferred onto her the name Binti'Sokota...daughter of the wind.
As Binti grew, she remained the odd-cub out, as she preferred spending time alone, showing an interest in hunting for small animals for herself far before any of the other cubs had even really ventured out of the den. She also liked climbing up onto high places, a habit that worried both of her parents, but one that she indulged in anyway, saying only that she liked to listen to the sound of the wind as it ruffled her fur.
As she grew yet a bit more (still a cub, but now about the age of Nala and Simba when they visit the elephant graveyard in the original Lion King), Binti made more extended forays out into the savannah surrounding her pride's denning area, honing her hunting skills, although she was, by this time, almost as good at catching small creatures like birds, mice, and other creatures of a comparative size than most of the full-grown lionesses of the pride. However, she showed no real inclination to leave for good, until the day she met a full-grown rogue male lion while on one of her wanderings. Luckily, she was able to put the dexterity she'd acquired hunting small animals to good use, and escaped with her life. Although the rogue failed in his attempt to defeat her father in a fight, she realized that, as long as she wandered about alone, the fact that she was a cub of the current king would put her at risk from any others who strove for his position. A few days later, she left in the middle of the night, stopping only to nose lightly at her mother in farewell, her touch so soft that the sleeping lioness thought it was only the wind... Personality: Impatient, independent, and while she's mellowed somewhat as she's grown up/raised Us'kali's cubs, she's also easily irritated with others. That said, she's loyal, and when her affections are won over, they run deep. She also takes commitments and responsibilities seriously, when she makes them.

Name: Makadara "Might (of God), omnipotence (of God), power (of God), influence, power, strength" Colorist: Mila/Dust Gender: Male Parents: Mfereji (mother; Running Water) x ? (rogue male) Offspring:Mwanga'mkali, Manakel Stage:Adult Text Color: Teal Rank/Affiliation: Hunter/Ela'wadiyi - Earth Clan Friends/Travelling Companions: Makini'fumbi, Mwanga'mkali, Manakel History:Born into the Mistweaver pride to one of the lower-ranking huntresses, he was a juvenile on the border of adolescence when the pride began to fall off in numbers from the prolongued drought. He was young enough that he saw nothing suspicious in his mother's telling him that it was time for him to leave the pride for a time, to see more of life outside of the mistweaver borders.
It was thus that he not only escaped death from the prolongued drought, but missed the abduction of Dama, and the arrival of what was the "new" mistweavers. In his absence, he wandered far, passing through the jungles, the plains, and various pridal lands. He held himself apart, careful not to interact with any, although he observed much. It was in this setting that he grew into adulthood, his chubby childish body morphing into a lithe, lean adult lion, all corded muscle and fluffy mane. Finally, he felt worthy of returning home. And so his dusty paws began to retrace the path homeward, not realizing how much things had changed in his absence.
When the Mistweaver pride disbanded, he found himself alone once again, wandering as a rogue. Loneliness eventually led to his befriending a rogue lioness, culminating in the birth of his two daughters. When his friend and companion died shortly after the birth, it finally gave Makadara the push he needed to join a new pride - the Elawadiyi, where he and his two young cubs have been put into the Earth Clan. RP Logs:[1*] [2] [3] [4] [x] [5] [6 (Ela Joining)]
When Jabali and Matope (twin brothers) became juveniles, their father ousted them from the pride, fearing them to be competition in the future. Since then, the brothers have been travelling with one another, and, although they competed endlessly with one another, when push comes to shove, they were a formidable team. More TBA.

Name: Ausi'jabali "black rock" Colorist: Gender: Male Parents: Tukufu'wadi x Tuli'ua Stage:Adult (deceased) Text Color: Default/Black Rank/Affiliation: Rogue Friends/Travelling Companions: none. History:It all began with the Ardhi'bedui (Earth Pilgrims), a nomadic pride of lions who walked the lands in search of paradise, a land they could call their own. Many great kings entered and left the earth before this land was found. Soon, the lions began to forget where it was they came from. Some of the Ardhi'bedui were born with dark fur, some with white. Those born with white were trained to hunt during the day and those with dark fur to hunt at night. This created a symbiotic circle and kept everyone healthy and fed. But it also kept them segregated and discrimination began to arise. Eventually the tension started to drive the groups apart. The day hunters considered themselves blessed by the Sun and more worthy than the night hunters, and the night hunters thought the same, toting themselves the children of the Moon.
As a final blow to the unity of the tribe, the Maliki passed on from illness as they began crossing the great mountain, leaving his Kipenzi with child. The pride sought shelter for the time when the Queen would give birth, and at the very break of dawn, when both the sun and moon were peeking through the sky, the pride was greeted with not one, but two heirs. Murmurs filled the cave when the mewling cubs, a black son and a white daughter, opened their eyes for the first time. The daughter's eyes were gold and shone like the sun, and the son's eyes were a silvery blue that glowed like the moon. A day hunter shouted, "It's a sign! The girl is meant to rule in the name of the Sun!" And a night hunter replied, "The boy clearly carries the mark of the Moon! We cannot think to defy our god!" Soon the pride erupted into argument over the two children, and as they stood bickering, the mother of the cubs quietly passed on.
When all was said and done, the pride split, the day hunters taking young princess higher up the mountain and calling themselves the Jua'nuru, and the night hunters taking the prince to the caves at the base of the great mountain, adopting the name Mwezi'kivuli. As the two groups began their new, separated lives, they reached many troubles. The Mwezi'kivuli found themselves thwarted during their attempts to hunt in the day, the sun's light shining brightly against their dark coats and sabotaging their attempts to remain hidden. The Jua'nuru found it too difficult to see in the dark of night; the moon was surely dimming itself to impair them! Many of the original pride members died out from the famine as food became scarce and they became exhausted from their failed attempts, all the while blaming each other for their shortcomings. The hatred and prejudice between the two new prides secured the fate of both. Whether or not they might be able to look past their differences to find the common bond they share is unknown...
Ausi'jabali is the son of the last king of the Ardhi'bedui, and twin brother to Safi'theluji. Ausi was born second, and seems to have a chip on his shoulder when it comes to his sister. Why is it the Jua'nuru live above, dancing in the sky with the gods? Why did the Sun choose her over him?.. He is content knowing that the Moon protects his kin, but even that is not enough when his clan is starving. Like Safi, responsibility was thrust onto Ausi at a dangerously early age, many looked to him for guidance, believing that the Moon would give him the answers and make him wise. While he was still very young, the pressure of ruling turned him bitter and cold. He hid his fears behind a wall, showing his subjects only strength and perseverance. But this could only last so long...

Name: Athari "Spot" Colorist: Gender: Male Parents: ? x ? Stage:Adult (deceased) Text Color: #996633 Rank/Affiliation: Rogue Friends/Travelling Companions: Dhahabu'choka (although they haven't officially met via RP yet >3) History:
Athari was born and raised by a mother who was far more affectionate than most, which, oddly enough, made him more independent than most, because he railed against the constraints she'd placed upon him, unlike his siblings. However, this...odd upbringind has made him more likely to accept closeness with others than your average leopard (hence his travelling with Taku and Chakavu XD).
Then, one day, seemingly without provocation, his mother told him it was time for him to forge his own path...so he did, feeling rather betrayed by the whole event. However, shortly after he stumbled into the pridelands, determined to reach the unclaimed lands west of them, he ran into Chakavu and Taku. Because it was pouring rain, the trio sought shelter amidst the roots of a large tree, the only shelter visible at the time. Soon, they were joined by Mufasa, and, although Athari was wary/feeling threatened by the massive lion's presence initially, when he found out who Mufasa was, he was stricken by an acute case of hero worship, and so, when Mufasa offered to accompany Chakavu, Athari and Taku (actually, the offer was to carry Athari and Taku) back to Pride Rock to ride out the storm, he accepted, although he was uncomfortable with the idea of being in such close proximity to an entire pride of lions.
Chakavu, however, said that she had something else to do first, and so left the two young'uns with Mufasa and took flight. Athari and Taku, however, accompanied Mufasa to Pride Rock, and, when Mufasa was called away for a bit to converse with a jackal, they decided it was time to explore the caves...
Athari, after following Mufasa back to the pride rock (along with taku! ), spent most of his time there nervously expecting to be eaten. Or something. However, after spending awhile there, he said goodbye to Chakavu, Mufasa, and Taku (for now...and it was done politely), and struck out on his own. Having caught wind of the unclaimed jungles, that's where he headed.
Name: Mng'aro "brightness" Colorist: Mila/dust Gender: Male Parents: Asali x Jabali Siblings: Roho'eupeanga, Nyasi, Johari, Narindima'moyo; Koko'kizuka, Abhaya, Ashoka, Celedrin, Epesi'vipawa, Ige Stage:Adult (cub, juve & adol) Text Color: #CC9966 Rank/Affiliation: (seer) Ezinulo; N'ezi-ozu - Odachi Family Friends/Travelling Companions: n/a History: Mng was born the runt of Jabali & Asali'jua's first litter (and a seer - he gets vague visions/hunches/urges that niggle at him...which earned him a reputation for being a little dreamy, or spacey as a cub).
He was sickly and frail throughout his youth, so he had to be much more stubborn and determined than his siblings and peers to do anything physical. He's still small, being closer in size to a normal adolescent, with a delicate, slim build..and a distinct lack of stamina.
He left the pride to go find his adult name, and was unpleasantly surprised that, for all that his seer abilities had usually led him to where he needed to go for important things, he felt...nothing. after wandering far longer than he ever would have expected, he heard of the destruction of the swamplands (and worse, he had one of his only full-fledged visions, which forced him to see it, despite the distance), and has been wandering aimlessly as a rogue since.
Having recently wandered over to the newly-formed lake of sighs (and fortunately, emerging from the experience unscathed), and feeling somewhat unnerved by the odd goings-on, something had his paws moving in a new direction...and he ended up finding his way to the N'ezi-ozu, where he has requested to join the pride... Personality: Never one who gives up on what he sees as important, Mng'aro makes up for his lack of physical prowess with sheer determination...and he isn't one to shirk what he sees as his duty, or refuse to fulfill his responsibilities, either. Soft-spoken, and so sometimes overlooked as being a pushover, he's more inclined to quietly refuse to argue with someone who won't see eye-to-eye with him, and then go and do what he thinks is right anyway.
Coming from the swamplands, he's not a particularly squeamish lion, nor is he intensely sentimental (he has a decidedly practical approach to most things). With that said, bonds run deep with him - when he loves, he loves deeply (so far, he's only ever loved his family, who have been lost to him since his youth, and he still feels that loss keenly).
He's a fairly strong seer, although it seems to manifest most often in hunches, or urges to go a certain way, rather than frequent, full-fledged visions, and as a result, can come across as somewhat introspective, and it can sometimes lead him to doing things that might otherwise seem at odds with his no-nonsense nature. RP Logs: [x] [x] [1] [x] [x (N'ezi joining)] [2] [3]
Info on the old swampie pride, for reference:
The Jini-misemi were an old pride that kept mostly to themselves, and others kept mostly away -- their ritual mystic traditions often viewed as superstitious by outsiders and the selfmade (and perpetuated and believed) rumors that they could talk to spirits had most others skirting around the pride's Swampland home. But provided the rare wanderer through the heart of the territory (the actual swamp, of course) minded their own business, they'd (probably) be left alone, unless some mischief-minded Spirit-talker felt the need to reinforce the illusion that the swamp is haunted.
The original pride itself descended from the Goddess of Swamps, daughter of the Water God and Earth Goddess. As would follow, this mother goddess of theirs is also their patron, and can often be a meddling one. She's quite happy to bolster their beliefs that they can at least sometimes talk to or see spirits, or even have visions -- of course, she was behind them all.
Until something angered the goddess greatly (something, perhaps, to do with the Consort at the time, Hidaya'malaika), and possibly with the help of her father the water god, the swamp goddess caused a great and sudden flood to sweep through the swamp, killing most of the pride, who had little time to escape.

One of the five cubs that Us'kali died giving birth to, she, along with her siblings, was left in the care of Binti.
Former alu'nadi, she chose to walk away from that, feeling that she was not up for the task of leading her clan forward as they deserved, and that the pawprints that her mother had left were too large for her to comfortably fill. Personality: Independent and fierce when provoked, Woha'li is pretty even tempered, overall, with a compassion and affection for others that makes her pretty approachable. She has deep-seated love and appreciation for the lore and storytelling that are so deeply a part of the pride, because she feels like it connects her to her mother, and all of those who came before. Her voice is particularly suited to storytelling, the tone low, unconsciously inviting one to listen closely. RP Logs: [Solo] [Solo] [x] [x] [1] [2] [3] [x] [x] [x] [4]
