Enter the playground

Just a little blog about how the world goes around,
Just a record but don't want to make a sound,
Watch my steps carefully and maybe you will see
That things are rather complicated around me

Marimba
Playing in the sunshine

NAME: Marimba
AGE: 1 year
GENDER: female.
PRIDE: wanderer
RANK: loner

PERSONALITY: Marimba is outgoing and confident, however she can be very sercetive at times. Most think she is a nice lioness, however she plays mind games which could cause problems within the dynamics of a pride. The truth is, this is all play, but it could prove fatal one day. The games will stop at about a year old, if she survives that long. She is still very playful, but probably a little rough for young cubs. She is a quick learner, and very observant which in ways is a good thing and in others a bad thing. I guess you are wandering why it culd possibly be bad, but can you imagine having a cub which knows just that little-bit-too-much hanging around? One thing's for sure- she isn't going to be too popular with the adult population for a while, but at least the other youngsters will enjoy haing a gossip session with her. She is incredibly socialble, to an extent where it cannot be explained, and she get's incredibly moody if she gets lonely. She is however very greedy at times, enjoying her food, probably bcause she uses so much of her energy in play, and after a meal she likes a nice, long nap.
PROS: Playful- can entertain cubs; Huntress- very good, even at this young age; Intelligent- knows alot for her age
CONS: Problem-causer; rough; greedy
LIKES: fun, food, play, sleep.
DISLIKES: being bossed around, being in trouble, being lonely

APPEARANCE: Standing at about average size for her age and with perfectly toned muscle structure, it is obvious just by looking at Marimba that one day she'll be a great asset to the pride she joins. She moves in such a mannor that she makes no sound, and she is a great stalker. She has slightly rounded ears, large eyes and long, powerful legs. She is quite slim, depite how much she eats, and will develop into a beautiful lioness. The only scars she sports are three jagged lines across her right flank. Her pelt is a beatiful dark gold, which shines in the light and her eyes play a range of browns, depending on how the light reflects upon them. Her stomach is a lighter colour than the main of her body, giving the idea that she has lighter colouring in her blood.
EYE COLOR: Brown
COAT COLOR: Dark gold with light gold underbelly
DISTINGUISHING ASPECTS: Three jagged lines down right flank
PHYSIQUE: average height, slim, muscled

BRIEF HISTORY: Born to rogue parents, she was not going to be spoiled as a small cub. In fact, she was quite hard done to, even after her three siblings died. She was turned away about a month ago because her parents wanted to start a new pride and she was just too much of a trouble maker. Since then she has been in only one major fight, in which she gained her three scars. She has also had time to work more on her hunting skills- it's amazing how much hunger can improve them! But she is lonely and so seeks the company of others again.
PARENTS: Xia and Huina
SIBLINGS: Miko, Riku and Kayn (all dead) also Carrion II (doesn't know)
CHILDREN: None
LOVER: None

Relationships on here:
Truth-- Alethea pride king-- Admired and respected.
Rhian-- Alethea pride member-- You are close to Truth, though distant from others, and I must wander why you feel the need to stay away. You seem like you are nice, but maybe I am wrong.

NAME: Adia (means 'gift' in African)
AGE: 6 months
GENDER: Female
PRIDE: Sekayi
RANK: Cub

PERSONALITY: Adia really is a sweet heart if ever there was a personality to fit the word. What else could you call her? She's a bright, cheerful and healthy cub who sees no wrong in the world. As she is growing up away from the influence of a pride she takes all her energy out on Maston, her friend whom she sees as a brother or father. Of course, that takes a long time, because there is an awful lot of energy to go around.
This cub likes nothing more than company and like to make it known. Friendship with this youngster could end up like a true family bond with lots of love and soft moments.
Adia has a thing against grudges and violence and so, in a way, is a peacekeeper. She would rather run between two lions or groups than to let them fight. She often uses wise words to quieten a situation that would otherwise end up serious.
There is one big problem with Adia though. Honesty. She will often change or twist a story to make it sound big and impressive, or tell a completely sifferent story when she wants to hide something.
She is intelligent and learns quickly through watching and listening.
PROS: Soft, loving, playful
CONS: Dishonest, secretive, hyperactive
LIKES: Company, friendship, love
DISLIKES: Anger, hatred, grudges, fighting


APPEARANCE: As she was seperated from her mother far before she should have been Adia is a lot smaller than what she ought to be due to a lack of proper nutrition and so looks to be a lot younger than what she truly is. She has a splendid coat of a golden colour, her darker cub markings still visible though fading away slowly. She is strong for her size and what she lacks in strength makes up for in speed. She has a slender appearance with long legs and a narrow body, her face crafted finely. From her face stare two brilliant eyes of brown which sparkle in the sun with all the energy and youthful innocence that a cub deserves. She has a scar across her right hind leg which she has never explained but other than that has no other sign of violence in her life. (How decietful appearances can be.)

BRIEF HISTORY: Kanye was unfit to be a father in his condition and Fiel realised too late. When the four cubs were born Kanye seemed to be fine at first, and the problems only started at about a month old. He was turning more and more violent by the day, finding himself with less and less control over his illness. But it was too late- the cubs were to be subjected to his cruel ways.
Adia was the lucky one, managing to avoid his bad side except for once. She was his favourite, his baby, and it was obvious as he always managed to keep more collected if she was close. The others, however, were not so lucky.
It was not until after Liena and Haila had both died that Jarabi (the only boy) ran for his life, and weeks later that Adia followed suit.
Not knowing what had come of her brother the youngster, who was three months old and only just begining to eat meat properly, walked around, calling but never found him. Instead she ran (quite literally) into a brujo called Maston and has ever since tagged along with him, glad of the company and hoping to one day find her brother.

PARENTS: Kanye and Fiel are never mentioned aloud
SIBLINGS: Liena and Haila are both dead, Jarabi is believed to be alive somewhere
CHILDREN: Too young
LOVER: Too young

Her thoughts on those in this new place
Maston- You have been my friend and protector for months, and I love you greatly, tyhough it is clear we don't truly know where we stand with each other. Are we friends or family? But I like the bond we have, and feel safe when you are around.
Lothril- We have just met but you seem kind enough. You must be brave to be running a pride alone. I hpe that maybe I could be like you oine day.
Amara- You and I have just met and I don't really know what to think. In your current state I think you are doing the right thing joining a pride. I hope to get to know you better, and would like to know your cubs one day too.
Jarabi- My brother. You ran away before I and I can but hope you managed to sruvive. Hopefully, one day, I'll find you. Those hopes will not die.

NAME: Maston

AGE: 2 years old

GENDER: Male

PRIDE: Sekayi

RANK: King

PERSONALITY: The first thing that will strike Maston is his honesty: if he doesn’t like someone he will make his opinion heard. He usually won’t put it in a disrespective way, though it still can be rather hurtful. When in a meet discussing a certain topic he will indulge advice he sees fits. So, lesson one on Maston: he sees no point in hiding his views.

Another thing to know about Mayon is his intelligence. Though the typical thoughts of a huge, muscled brute is that they are dumb it is not true in this case. Brains are not a problem as he has extensive knowledge in areas such as fighting, hunting and spying. This knowledge came from an expansive training program which he undertook at one month old. So, lesson two: don’t underestimate his brain power.

One thing to watch is his temper for when he is in a bad mood it is a truly disastrous mood. He will never forget and never forgive, merely remember things and hold a grudge that will last a lifetime. He will pick victims; usually those lower in rank, though occasionally higher ranking individuals, and seek fights and other such novelties. However, this isn’t just to calm him down but to keep up his form in the fighting front. He does know how to control this aspect of himself but, the question is, will he choose to control it? Lesson three: beware his temper.

He does not trust any lion and will never willingly share his secrets. He keeps his problems to himself, preferring not to give potential enemies anything they may turn against him later on. Everything stays with him. Nothing comes from him. It’s his way of dealing with things and others have to get used to it. Lesson four: don’t expect to be trusted

He may seem like a solitary lion but is not one. His loyalties are not easy to gain but, when they are they hardly waver. He follows instructions to the last detail, no matter what the affect on him may be. If the leader of a pride he is in said jump over a waterfall he would. However, one loyalty that still remains is that to his trainer; Nalinsti Serinol, so don’t be surprised if information finds it’s way to her. Lesson five: his loyalties are worth earning but beware of his past loyalties.

He is still young and so still has a playful side


PROS: Highly trained, Trustworthy and has a sharp eye for liars

CONS: Secretive, quiet and has past loyalties

LIKES: Youngsters, hunting, playing, learning

DISLIKES: Laziness, boredom, disrespect.

APPEARANCE: Maston is, in a word, huge. Standing at 50" at the shoulder (that's 2" bigger than average) and weighing a massive 450 pounds, he outsizes most that he will come across. He is a light shade of sand with a white underbelly. His mane is developing nicely is a slightly darker shade than his pelt. He has only a few scars, despite the many fights he has had. He is bulkier than one would expect, even for his size, though this is muscle and now fat, which becomes terribly obvious with every move he makes, as his muscles ripple visibly with even the slightest twitch.His movement is with speed and power to the extent that it always seems that he has a mission, though he is usually just walking looking for something to do. His eyes are, perhaps, the most remarkable thing about him for they do not match in tone. The right eye looks like molten amber, a golden hue which seems to shift with the light while his left eyes is a very dark brown, almost to the point of black.


EYE COLOR: The right eye looks like molten amber, a golden hue which seems to shift with the light while his left eyes is a very dark brown, almost to the point of black.

COAT COLOR: light shade of sand

DISTINGUISHING ASPECTS: A scar across his throat is slowly being hidden as his mane develops. The hair which will grow their will be darker than the rest.

PHYSIQUE: Maston is, in a word, huge. Standing at 50" at the shoulder (that's 2" bigger than average) and weighing a massive 450 pounds, he outsizes most that he will come across.

BRIEF HISTORY: Maston was born into a litter of four- two males and two females. He was the oldest and largest. The pride was a big one, and feared by those surrounding it for it's reputation was terrible. The males of the pride were strong and highly trained fighters, the females furiously protective and then there were the others... Those that were trained in many arts. Though it was unknown to the rival prides, members of that pride were within their ranks, spying.
Maston was selected for the intense training programme required to become one of these select few by none other than the head female, Nalinsti Serinol.
At a few months old Maston was taken from his parents and siblings to enter the tough times which would follow. Times in which he was trained to fight, spy, hunt and act. By the time he was finished, having been kept from normality all that time, his sister Sayuri was dead. This hurt his, for she was his closest friend from his family.
It was not long after this that Maston left, a true talent who would be sorely missed by the pride. Nalinsti let him go only because she knew that for greatness to continue growing, it sometimes had to be let go.
So he found his way here, a young male with great potential, ready to make his mark.

PARENTS: Thriste Mayon and Roath Hawthorn

SIBLINGS: Donovan Mourn (half brother), Acarbis (half brother), Flame (half brother) (deceased), Lucas Serinol (half brother), Recon Mayon (brother), Ryou (half sister), Syrit Mayon (sister), Sayuri Mayon (sister)(deceased)

His thoughts on those he knows
Adia- my bundle of fluff of a tag on, I love you dearly. In ways I think of you as a friend, in others a sister and, at times, I guess I am like a father to you. We've been together for a few months, and believe you I'm not leaving you.
Lothril- A mighty but gentle queen from what I have seen, it became instantly obvious that you have a soft spot for cubs. Perhaps if I were to stay within yur pride you could become a good influence on the cub, who has no mother figure.
Amara- The pregnant female I just met while she was talking with Lothril. She is close to birth it seems and it would be good to stick around to help protect the cubs. It wpud give Adia someone to play with to. But I am curious... Why would a lone female be pregnant? What trauma lies in your past?

NAME: Jarabi
AGE: 6 months
GENDER: Male
PRIDE: Rogue.
RANK: Loner

PERSONALITY: In a word, Jarabi is disturbed. His abusive past has led to a severe lack of trust and a refusal to socialise normally. When with others he tends to go silent and withdraw into himself. His silence often causes others to become suspicious and so, even if he wanted to, he would probably be outcasted.
However, beneath the silent outer exterior there still lies a playful cub in need of love, no matter how disturbed he may be. He feels a great jealousy to those with a normal upbringing, or a loving family. Often, he will sit and plot against them and, unless this gotten under control, he may well be dangerous in later life.
Jarabi hears voices, which can dictate his behaviour. Of these voices, only one speaks for the greater good of others. He even has names for them, they have become such an important part of him:
Liana is the voice which reminds him of sister Adia. It attempts to lead him down the path of good with kind words and encouragement. She explains the wrong in the things the others plan.
Kreet is the voice of his father, in many ways, putting the cub down and making him feel bad about himself. This leads the cub to become darker and darker, more and more hating of the world. It is this voice which fuels his anger at everyone else.
Tris is the voice which has no known origins. This sadistic voice helps Jarabi to become more and more cruel in his plans, and urges him on to go through with them. This voice is the most negative influence on his behaviour.
PROS: Soft, loving and caring deep down
CONS: Uncontrolled anger, jealousy and voices
LIKES: Being alone, having time to think, the idea of revenge
DISLIKES: Others being happy, the memory of his family, company

APPEARANCE: As he was seperated from her mother far before she should have been Jarabi is smaller than what he ought to be due to a lack of proper nutrition and so looks to be a little younger than what he truly is. He has a splendid coat of a light golden colour, his darker cub markings still visible though fading away slowly, his ears retaining their dark colouring- a trait he has gained from his father.
He is very strong, his young body packed with toned muscle which ripple with the slightest move. The way these bulge is just a warning of how strong he will be when full grown. The back of his neck has slightly longer fur than the rest of his body, and this area is somewhat spiky.
Jarabi has a lot of scars due to his abusive life. In fact, it is somewhat scary to see such a young cub so badly marked. His right side has three jagged scars right across it, his left shoulder matted by many wounds. The scariest by far, however, is the scar running across his right eye, an injury which caused blindness in it.
Due to this Jarabi's right eye is completely white, while his right is a dark emerald.
EYE COLOR: Dark green
COAT COLOR: Light gold

It was not until after Liena and Haila had both died that Jarabi (the only boy) ran for his life.
Since then he has been alone, the voices gettin g ever-more control of his life, his hatred growing, jealousy a fuel for this. Each day he gets worse, and now he finds himself here. His only hope is that one day he'll find Adia alive.
PARENTS: Kanye and Fiel
SIBLINGS: Liena and Haila are both dead, Adia's fate is unknown
CHILDREN: Too young
LOVER: Too young

His thoughts:
Adia, my sister, you are the only one I know may have survived. I have no proof, but I have hope. Maybe one day I will find you. Hopefully, it will be alive.
