Life of the Pride
Now Accepting
It's well known that life for Lion Pride's is not a simple walk in the park. For the Xhumo pride that has proved to be no different. Compared to other prides they are a relatively newer one, only having formed in the past year. They aren't a large pride, put they've proven themselves by carving out a life for themselves in a territory that, at first, wasn't very hospitable.
Now, as a year has passed after forming, the pride is coming up on it's first season for cubs, and it's hopeful that the pride will have new mouths to feed in the coming months. However, as these occurs tensions are bound to run high as it's hierarchy begins to full cement within the males and females.
Of course, tension within isn't the only difficulty the pride will have to over come. Rogue males are a threat to any pride, especially one that is going to have young cubs soon, as well as hyenas and other predators are going to take risks to try and prevent the pride from suceeding further.
Their only hope to survive this next year is to continue to build their bonds and work together as a cohesive pride. However, the greatest challenges are still ahead of them, and the future of the pride is unknown.

This is meant to be a Lion Pride Rp with a Similar Plot that is frought with drama. So don't be fooled by it's simplicity and assume it'll be a stale and boring one. |

The Roleplay Rules
Follow all of Eve's and WP's Rules
1. Please be Active. A Couple of Posts a Week are all I'm expecting from you, but that does mean if I haven't gotten a Post from you in 4+ days I will remove your character. Please be Active in Rp and Discussion.
2. This is a Semi-Literate Rp at Minimum, and will need to be shown in Sign Ups and Rp.
3. Right now lets keep it two 2 Characters per Person, and they cannot be of the same role. This might increase later. I will not include unborn cubs in this count.
4. There are no Orphaned Cubs in the Rp. None have been born in the Pride yet, and they wouldn't take on Orphaned Cubs that aren't theirs.
5. No Godmodding, Pefect Characters, Powerplaying, etc. Also, don't have your character be "That Guy". You know the one.
6. Semi-Realism Appearances Required. I'm okay with Natural Colors like Red, Tan, Grey, Brown, etc. But no Neon or more Unnatural Markings. No Hybrids. And I will Limit Mutations like Albino and Melanistic.
7. Stock Images and Artwork is allowed to be Used, as long as WP's Rules are Followed. Stock has to be F2U and from DA though for my own Sanity though.
8. This is a Limited Spot Rp. So if you don't finish your reservation in 48 Hours the Role will be Opened, and Someone Else could take it.
9. Again this is a Semi-Realistic, hinging closer to Realistic, Rp. So lone lionesses aren't going to be able to beat a full grown male in a fight, nor can they take down things like water buffalo on their own, since most prides struggle to take them down together.
10. In terms of fighting, Your Characters Cannot Dodge Every Hit but Make Every Hit when Fighting. If I notice it Happening, I will Choose the Outcome of the Fight Myself, and it Likely Won't be in Your Favor.
11. Have fun!
The Pride Rules
1. Any Relations with Outsiders is Forbidden. Cubs fathered by a Rogue male could be killed or abandoned.
2. If any Nonpride Lions or Lionesses are seen, they must be reported to the Dominant Males repeatedly.
3. Pride Cubs, when we have them, are to be protected at all costs.
4. Unsanctioned hunts are not allowed, it could promote overhunting and mess up bigger hunts for later.
5. Right Now Dominant Males Eat First, however, when Females become Pregnant or are Nursing and they're are cubs that could change. |

The Role Explanations
This is pretty straight forward, however, it does differ a bit from my other Rps so I'll take a few moments to explain.
The Xhumo Pride
Dominant Males [2]
These are the two adult males of the Xhumo pride. It has not yet been declared which of the two males are the more dominant, as it's unheard of for two males to be equivalent in hierarchy, it leaves too much room to undermine each other. Eventually one will take the helm and the other will become more of a Secondary Male. However, both are allowed to mate with lionesses either way, but it'll be decided by the end of the cub season either through dominance challenges or by which male the females choose to have cubs with the most. Obviously the males are in charge of patrolling and protecting the pride and territory from all threats.
Pride Lionesses [4]
These are the lionesses within the pride, and I'd be willing to up this number to 5 if needed, but no more. There is currently no Queen or Lead Huntress or any ranks among the Lionesses. However, this is something that will be determined over time. Partially through agreeance and challenges between the lionesses, but also the Dominant Males will have a say. The lionesses are in charge of hunting, feeding the pride, and caring for the cubs. They also act as defenders too when needed, as they are just as invested in their own and their future cubs' safety.
Unborn Cubs [3 Per Lioness]
These are the future, unborn cubs of the Pride. They'll eventually be in it. However, they cannot be your own character in the rp as they won't be used right away.
Nonpride Lions
Rogue Males [3]
These are the prideless males who are often looking to take over or form their own pride. They're all males over the age of 3 years, and they're often a danger to prides as rogue males are often known to challenge pride males and even kill cubs.
Lone Lionesses [3]
These are the Prideless lionesses who, like Rogue males, are often looking to join a pride. They aren't always welcome among prides, though, as it can potentially upset the established hierarchy, and it can take time for the Pride females to trust them. However, they have a higher chance of being able to join than a male. |

My Lioness
Name:Palesa;
Meaning "Flower"
Age:4 Years
Gender:Female/Lioness
Rank:Pride Lioness
Desired Rank:She isn't sure. She isn't against a high rank, even Queen, but she wants what is best for the Pride. She only really wants to be a mother.
Appearance:
Credit Belongs to MarianneMason on DA. This is a Stock Image.
At a glance Palesa is often mistaken for a White Lion of the Albino variety, and, well, they would be half right. She does count as a White Lion, however she is a Leucistic Lion instead of an Albino. This means her nose remains dark and her eyes are actually Blue. Her coat also isn't quite as a pale as albino lions, though it is similar. Pal isn't a lioness of more average size, standing at 3.4 feet tall at the shoulder, however, she only weighed at most 300 lbs total. This gives her a rather lean appearance for a lion, though she will bulk out as she ages and matures.
As mentioned, Palesa is a white lion, though her coat isn't exactly white. It's more of a soft cream color, with the fur appearing darker at times over her shoulders and the points of her body. Her coat is the standard length for lions, maybe a bit longer, but she appears to have a thicker, almost fluffy coat that is quite soft and comforting to the touch. She has noteable cheek tufts on her face giving her a dainty and feminine touch to her feline features. Her tail tip is a reddish brown color, much lighter in color than a normal lion's tail tip.
Personality:Calm || Reserved || Friendly || Social || Relaxed || Easy Going || Quiet || Even Tempered || Good Natured || Naive || Inexperienced || Affectionate || Nurturing || Patient || Hard Working || Not Very Ambitious || Content || Helpful || Caring || Joyful || Youthful || Trusting || Callow || Respectful || Gracious
TBA
Crush:None, For Now.
Mate:Now.
Cubs:None, hopefully soon.
Kin:Potentially Open to a Sister or other Familial Relation.
Affiliations:Open - WIP!
Taranaki | Dominant Male
Naki is someone Palesa looks up to and admires greatly. She takes comfort in his presence, feeling safe and protected with the male. She likes that she can relax in his presence instead of being intimidated by him, like she is with a lot of male lions, and is greatful entirely that he is one of the Dominant Males for her pride. More to be added on Later.
Azfar | Dominant Male
TBA
Nkazimulo | Pride Lioness
