Name:
Mandlenkosi
Meaning Powerful, Strong King, Chief
Nicknames:Kosi Primarily
Mandy by those Close to Him
Age:7 Years
Gender:Male
Rank:Rogue Male
Desired Rank:
Dominant Male/King Again.
He'd prefer his Original Pride, but it's just Not in the Cards.
Appearance:
Credit for All Images Belongs to Robbobert on DA. These are Stock Images.
Being an older male in his prime, Mandlenkosi is a large lion, standing at a 4.4 feet tall with a heavy weight of 560 lbs normally, though he's lost a bit since being on his own recently, putting him at 545-550 right now. Since he's only been on his own for a short period of time, the male is still quite bulky and has been capable of bullying other animals from left over kills. The large feline is muscular, with a wide and bulky build. Large paws leave deep indents in the loose soil as he walks, having paws like shovels. He has a set of wide shoulders and a muscular chest, with narrower hips. Kosi's got a large, wide head, which signals his age, and sides that are taut with muscle.
Kosi's coat is not the standard golden, tawny color, instead he is more of a darker tan color with a very obvious hue to it. His underbelly is a lighter, creamy color that covers his belly, the insides of his legs, and up his neck to his chin. His mane is large, definitely something befitting a monarch male. It starts at the top of his head, carrying down his neck, over his shoulders and down his chest before it ends just passed his shoulders and trailing down his belly. It's thick and robust, much like his build in general, the hair lower on it being quite coarse, whereas it's softer around his face. His dense mane offers protection to him from attacks, but it's a bit patchy from a recent fight he had, though it's growing back in. His mane starts off as blonde and darker red brown around his face, before darkening to black as it goes down his neck.
Besides his size and coloration, the one thing that stands out about Mandlenkosi is the sheer amount of scars on his body, both old and new. Having been a former king of a pride, he spent years defending it from other lions and predators that threatened it. There aren't many that are noteable, however, the sheer volume of them is. His entire body is bumpy and rough from scars, but it's the new ones on his body, red hued and puckered with anger, that stand out. The cover his frame, harshly clawed and bitten in over the other scars on his body. There are several claw marks on his sides, hips, and legs, with bite marks following suit around his neck and in his mane. There are several bite marks on his back and hips, and one on his front leg that lets him walk with a limp right now.
Kosi's voice is a deep basso, slightly raspy from age, but still something that can be pleasing when spoken in the right tone. His eyes are a bright, slightly faded, golden color. His scent is something musky but ashy, subtly pleasing but easily indentifiable.
Personality:
Stoic || Aggressie || Stubborn || Protective || Loyal || Straight Forward || Direct || Reserved, but Not Quiet || Observant || Average Intelligence || Experienced || Reclusive at Times || Gruff || Rough || Abrasive || Harsh || Critical || Shell of Who he Once Was || Damaged || Slow to Trust || Jaded || Wary & Cautious
Mandlenkosi is not at all the male he was when he was leading his pride, now he's mostly just a shell of the male he was. Stoic and almost reserved, it's very hard to get a read on the male when encounering him. He doesn't show emotions easily, keeping himself guarded physically and emotionally. It's highly unlikely that anyone, let alone a stranger, could decipher his motives and emotions just by looking at him or even talking to him. It would take time and plenty of careful observation to determine anything about the male. This is partially because he is slow to trust now, but also because he just doesn't care a whole lot anymore.
Unlike younger males or other lion in general, Kosi isn't the type to beat around the bush or hint at things. Instead he does everything and speaks in a very direct manner, sometimes coming off as abrasive or callous because of this. He doesn't sugar coat or anything, however, he tends to be quite reserved, not exactly quiet where he is shy, but he only speaks or communicates when he finds the necessity. He doesn't bother to entertain himself, or others, with frivolous things. His harsher and more critical temperment can cause him to ruffle the fur others, however, it's important to remember he wasn't always this way. He's merely a whisper of who he was, and periodically the image of who he was breathes back into existence before fading once again.
Still, he is a dedicated and loyal subject, someone who whole heartedly supports those he is loyal to completely. Their struggles are his, their problems are his, and their fights are his. That's how it was in his former pride, and that still rings true in the male today. Of course, he has no one now, but if he found someone he bonded with, he'd have their back all of the way, no matter what. Is he a bit gruff? Sure. However, the male is someone you'd want on your side in the toughest of times, as he is resilient and not the type to give up. Which is why he hasn't given up despite losing everything that was important to him.
Now, Kosi is not of superb intelligence, falling in at more average. However, the one thing he truly has going for him is his experience. His years of experience allows him to apply that to his decision making and choices, able to fall back on it when needed. Even so, though, the male is incredibly damaged, inside and out, and is quite wary and cautious of others. This jaded nature does have it's faults, however, because it does make him quite wary, he is more observant to things he might not have been to before. Is he still aggressive and explosive at times? Of course. However, he doesn't just rush into things head first anymore, he takes his time, only rushing in to fight when he finds it necessary.
Overall, realy, he's not at all who he used to be, but when the cards are down, he's someone you'd want on your side.
History:
Kosi has a history that is relatively normal for the most part, at least in the beginning. He was born into his natal pride, before eventually leaving it at shortly after 2 years old. Having been a large lion even at that age, his pride felt it was better for him to leave early, the king viewing him as a potential threat since he was getting on in age. Kosi has no desire to take over, but he left with his dignity nonetheless.
He traveled on his own for about a year or so, but eventually found a pride of lionesses all close to him in age with an elderly male at their helm. He decided to challenge the male, and beat him in contest for the pride, but spared the male's life as chased him off instead. He even went so far as to spare the male's cubs, raising them as best he could like they were own, and eventually fathering his own within the pride.
For years he lead the pride successfully, helping to grow them and let them thrive under his protection. He loved his pride, and they loved him, but, unfortunately, all good things come to an end. After almost four years as the King of his pride, a coalition of younger males drove him out of his territory, nearly killing him in the process. He had fought his hardest, but he was out numbered, and therefore, out done by them. He can only imagine what the males have done to his pride and his cubs, but he isn't in any condition to turn back and try and do something about it. So now, he is merely trying to move on, healing both physically and mentally in the process.
All he desires now, is to be on top again, or, at least, close to it.
Crush:
None
Mate:
None Now.
Cubs:
While some Adult Ones Might be Alive,
His Young Cubs are Likely all Dead.
Kin:
Katenka [Though he is unaware of her situation/health]
Affiliations:
Open - WIP
Other:
He is done, and I love him.
In case there is any sort of confusion, Kosi is not from the Pride in the rp. His history is from a different pride, with different lions.
Pm Me if you are interested in making his Former Queen who left the pride to search for him. <3 |

She is exactly 3.7 feet tall and 6 feet long. (I do not know the average height/length of a lioness) Tala has a large, black nose attached to her snout like literally every lioness, with a tanish white color to her bottom jaw.

Name: Viyan Age: 7 Years Old Gender: Female Rank: Lone Lioness Desired Rank: Anything, as long as she is with her love again. Appearance: Viyan is, whilst most certainly not a small creature, not the largest being out there. She comes it at around 3.6 feet, not being quite as large as some, and not as large as her mother had been in her prime. Her weight comes in at 340 pounds, still a heavy, muscular creature, but something slightly on the slimmer side for her height. It's not as if she's sickly-looking or underfed, she's still a large, formidable huntress, but she's most certainly not the heaviest lioness to exist. Viyan isn't what many would consider a bulky lioness. She is tall, having long legs and a long body. Her weight is evenly distributed throughout her physique in the form of sinewy muscle, stretching across flesh and bone. It's a figure she garnered from her mother, allowing her to follow in the older lionesses pawsteps and becoming a powerful huntress. She has a slightly slimmer build than some of the other lionesses, not an overly broad chest or shoulders, and not a very large head, but she's still a creature of speed and power. The lioness, although slightly on the younger side, is not free of scars. Her years of hunting have given her gashes and wounds, divets and bumps of scar tissue. They litter sparcely across her sides, back and legs, and are, in some cases, unnoticeable. Viyan has a coat that seems to change hues depending on the light. Overall, she is a pretty shade of golden-bronze, often leaning more towards the latter colouration. Sometimes, in certain lighting, she can be a mixture of that golden-bronze and tan, but, still, the lioness leans towards the golden-bronze. Even her chest is a soft golden hue, whereas it is normally cream with others of her species. It turns to something like cream between her forelegs and on her stomach, but her chest remains untouched by the pale colour. Her eyes, too, are an odd shade. They are a bright colour of what can only be called topaz, a mixture of bronze, gold and honey. They are not at all like the normal yellow or olive eyes that lions tend to have, matching her shades of darker colours. Even her scent has a softer, darker kind of tint, being a rich, earthy smell. Personality: Viyan was raised well by her mother, and turned out to be a lioness of an overall pleasant demeanor. She is quiet and respectful to those that have earned it, although not quite something to be regarded as reserved. To the right questions, she can open up like a book, but she's someone that would rather be off to the side, someone that rarely pushes herself to be in the spotlight, and rarely voices her opinions unless pushed to do so. Likewise, she has patience that stretches miles in every direction. There are rarely things that get passed her observations. In the midst of her quiet demeanor, Viyan is watchful, and notices almost everything. If something escapes her, it is truly uncover, something secretive and well-hidden. She's spent much of her life willingly on the sidelines, and has learned to read body language more than words, to pay attention to the way someone is acting beyond what they speak. Viyan is soft in nature, twisting herself to the will and needs of others well before her own, and puts others above herself. She is almost a perfect cuddle-buddy, willing to lay with another for as long as they need, so long as they've earned her affection. She is loving and nurturing, gentle and caring. She shows her love for another in many ways, and is rarely afraid of showing her affections for someone. Viyan is, above all else, protective. She might be gentle and loving, but if you harm those that she cares about, there is little she wouldn't do to get back at you. Spiteful might even be the word for it, but she is caring up until a point, and, once you get to that point, there is no coming back. Spiteful, vindictive, manipulative, merciless. Viyan loves until she cannot love anymore, and once you've given her enough reasons to stop loving you, her hatred burns hotter than flames. Once she's reached her breaking point, there are no second chances. She'll give chances upon chances until you mess up one last time, the straw that broke the camels back so to speak, and she'll have no more of you in her life. It will hurt her, yes, but keeping you there will hurt her more in the long run, and she knows that. Once she's made her mind up about a person being bad, she's stubborn to a fault, and there's little that someone can do to change her perspective. Crush: Her Mate. Mate: Mandlenkosi. She is currently unsure if he is dead or alive, but her heart belongs to him all the same. Cubs: Her youngest litter is dead. [Tene's girl] is her daughter from the King before Kosi. Kin: None other than her daughter in the RP. Affiliations: [Name] | Daughter [Text] Mandlenkosi | Her Lost Mate [Text] History: Viyan was the Queen of her pride when Kosi took over, and stayed at the helm to aid the new male. He was kind, just and fair, he allowed them to keep their cubs, and was merciful in allowing the previous King to walk away rather than killing him. She became both his mate and his Queen, and aided him in leading. When Kosi fell to a challenger, Viyan knew that she had to leave to follow him. She could not give cubs to another, she could not lead beside another, and so, with a heavy heart, and her eldest daughter beside her, Viyan left to follow her mate. Other: |

Viyan and Tala are accepted. Though I would like to see Tala a bit bigger. Since 3 feet is quite small for a lioness. |

Name: Kanoni meaning: "little bird"
Age: Five
Gender: Female
Rank: Lone Lioness
Desired Rank: Unsure
Appearance:
[credit goes to robbobert on da] Despite the meaning of her name, Kanoni is not a little thing anymore. She stands at a height of 3.8 feet with a weight of 350 pounds. Most of her height comes from her legs, which appear almost disproportionate with the remainder of her body. They are lengthy and flexible, offering her great speed when needed. Her physique remains on the more lithe side, allowing her to be faster. However, there is muscle spanning around her, so she isn't entirely powerless, simply isn't the strongest out there. Her strengths lie in her agility, speed, and stealth rather than her blows. Despite being on the younger side, Kanoni has her fair share of scars. The lioness has obtained many from various hunts, most recieved from her younger, more inexperienced days. They aren't difficult to espy either. Rather than being hidden, they are fairly visible; a nick on her ear, a healed gash on her side, a missing tooth, and the list goes on. Her overall coat is that of a lighter tan. It has a softer colouring to it compared to others. Her underside consists of a lighter cream to the point where it appears white. It begins beneath her chin and ends at her forelegs. However, depending on the lighting, the lighter cream may be visible, or entirely blend into her overall coat. Her eyes, like her mother's, appear almost topaz. From a distance, they appear more yellow, however, when one looks closer, there are clear signs of bronze in them. Her tone is that of a soft one, while her scent consists of an earthy smell, similar to that of her mother's, but perhaps bolder. 
Personality:
Kind || Elegant || Softspoken || Intelligent || Witty || Charming || Respectful || Observant || Can Become Petty || Forgiving to a Point || Patient || Headstrong || Overly Stubborn || Dependent || Protective and Loyal || Can be Cold || Ambivert || Scary Sometimes Kanoni was raised by her mother, Viyan, and so has obtained much of her personality from her. However, there are a few differences between them. For the most part, she is an overall kind and elegant individual, often expressing good manners and is respectful to those that return the favour. It is rare to see her act cruel for no true reason, and is often the voice of reason during difficult situations. Unlike her mother, Kanoni is more social, often seeking out companionship and wishing to converse with others. The female dislikes being alone, and so it isn't uncommon to see her lingering nearby. She doesn't mind remaining silent, so long as she is in the presence of others. Kanoni values companionship and often desires it, thus, it isn't difficult to strike up a conversation with her or befriend her. Rather, she is eager to discuss various topics or offer advice. There is rarely a time where she pushes another away, even when in an unpleasant mood. Overall, she is a welcoming individual. Observant, Kanoni has learned how to watch for certain things by her mother. She has learned to be patient and how to read body language. While not nearly as observant as her mother, Kanoni does manage to pick up on different things by simply glancing around. However, she is known to make a move rather than watch. If there is something she desires to know, she will ask it rather than observe, and attempts to uncover things by using her words. Kanoni is witty and charming, often teasing or pocking fun at others. She often attempts to lighten the mood in difficult scenarios, often remaining optimistic in dark times. Often, she puts others before herself and is known to be on the more selfless side. Stubborn and headstrong, the female seems to have a mind of her own, and is known to voice her ideas. It is difficult for her to listen to others when she believes in something, leading her to make mistakes in the past. However, one way or another, Kanoni learns. Whether it be by making mistakes or not, she figures things out eventually by trial and error. If she is told that something wouldn't work, she doesn't simply stop there. Often, Kanoni tests out the theory for her own knowledge and attempts to tweak things. Given her scars, most times it does not work out in her favour. Like her mother, there are times where the lioness may act.. cold. For instance, there are only so many times that she may forgive another. Kanoni will accept an apology once, twice, three times, but even she has a breaking point. When that point is reached, she is no longer a friend. Rather, she will act cold, disregarding others and ignoring them entirely. She becomes a petty, petty individual, one that holds a grudge for as long as she sees fit. She preaches kindness, but sometimes, acts hypocritical in situations such as those. And oh, if her family is put in danger by another, Kanoni acts merciless and cruel. She is stubborn for a reason, and she would not give up until she is satisfied with her revenge. She is a very passionate creature when it comes to that. Kanoni is kind, but if another takes advantage of her kindness, there is little that will change her opinion of that person.
