    Sample role-play:



    Utora had no heart for strangers, there was this threat felt, What do they want from me? However, this stranger was weaker and worse off overall. A young rouge male that was skin and bones. He seemed to have a spring inside of his frail body that allowed him to gracefully stroll through the grass, bouncing on his charcoal colored paw pads through the dirt as the evening suddenly became midnight.
    The sounds of night stirred something in the two lions as they moved on along the edges of the jungle. Utora hesitated at the notion of entering the open outlands, or the serengetti. Something always seemed to belong to someone else, all except the jungle. Perhaps, the jungle being similar to a puzzle or a maze, prevented any pride from claiming it. The borders changed every second in the jungle. This is my third night Lekiki. Utora looked back as Keewa laid down in the brush beneath the baobaob trees. His body sunk inside itself as he relaxed expressing all his skeletal features. Utora flicked her tail for a moment, like a cord yanking her heart to go on, she yanked back and apoproached Keewa. I know how to count nights, too Keewa. They are endless, remember. Utora sat beside him and huffed. She was observant of the lack of starlight in the sky. Of the croacks and groans of strange creatures farther out. The faint smell of water lingered on the breeze. Everything but the trail of a decent meal was present. She hung her head, eyes closed, then looked to Keewa who seemed to already be intent on sleep, right there in the open. Keewa you can rest but only for a short while. Do you understand? Utora needed him to understand, to hold on for a little bit longer.
    Quickly she slipped away from him and went on a frantic search. Without him she could move faster and even get herself involved in a more dangerous kill without the fear of getting both of them killed. Utora was uncertain of the length in distance she'd travelled, as she lingered along the rim of a watering hole, muddy paws with her tongue hanging out. The nights could be hotter than the days sometimes.
    Zebras were drinking across the way but she was aware they weren't an option. Still, she continued to look around, returning to the cover of the brush. Her head was up and here eyes were scanning into the dark. Her nose was taking in everything at once, all in desperation. Noises began to distract her and she drew herself closer to the source to better understand what could cause such chaos. Utora came through the tangling weeds and grass and made enough space to see over the clearling; a pride of some sorts having a feud with some wild dogs. Hyenas. The shouting was annoying and Utora laid down, her ears flat as she swished her tail. They were like dots over on the hill but she could smell something worth getting involved in; food.
    It had taken at least an hour to creep in unoticed while the chaos continued to unfold all around her. They were so wild with the night and the fight that they remained oblivious to her. There had been one, two or maybe even three kills torn and tattered across the hill. At times, the screams and bellowing roars made her muslces lock and her instinct was to turn tail and run. But the thought of Keewa laying still, waiting for her to return empty mouth made her angry. She was so close to an overlooked heap of flesh and without thinking she sunk her teeth into the meat and bolted off. Without a second to pass the slaps and cutting blows of lions or hyenas, she didn't know, came down upon her but she continued on. Maybe it was a lot, slowing her down. Maybe it was enough. Maybe it was too little! Utora shrieked at them to leave her be as the hyeans laughed and the lions shouted. She took off like the wind down the hill and through the grass, her breath squeezing out around the gobs of meat in her jaws. Nothing but death would get her to stop now, trunning was the only logical command in her head, on and on and on.....
    After some time, her frantic running became trotting which became walking. Her joints ached and her back hips were starting to express their damage. They'd gotten a few bites and lashed into her but she assumed at the quanity of food they'd sacked this evening, this little scrap she'd made away with wasn't worth all the energy it took to bring her down. Utora drug some of the animal carcass with her. It was a decent piece, enough to maybe satisfy one of the two for a few hours. By no rights, a meal. Her jaws ached from clenching on for so long. There was a steady drizzle of rain now, she drug herself up the way she'd come, to the two baobaob trees where Keewa rested. Utora released the meat and tossed herself to the ground, licking her maw and taking in deep brathes of air. After a few pauses, she opened her eyes and looked up to Keewa. Utora allowed a deep sigh to escape her and then she sat up, looking around for any threats. Then she looked back down to Keewa, ate both their portion of the meal and was gone before sunrise, alone.

    • Character Biography: Abasi has a general bitterness and defiance developed through the steady sense of rejection given by the continual prods of his family at his appearance and heritage. He likes the rain, and enjoys watching and observing people from afar without needing to get involved if it can be helped. Ironically, Abasi has a vast detestation for arrogance despite a slight lean towards pretentiousness at times himself. Cheery, overt people interrupting solitude at the wrong time also ranks high on his list of dislikes.

      The youngest cub, oddly enough, was born with green eyes and what appeared to be dark fur despite both parents and his one older sibling possessing lighter shades. The couple assured themselves that the cub’s features would lighten with age. When they remained dark after several weeks however, Nuru was forced to confess to an affair with a rouge months before. It wasn’t long after this secret was brought to light that Nuru fled from the small pride, leaving her two boys with her former mate. Folami could hardly blemish his reputation further by disowning the cub, and so allowed him to stay and grow in his lands. He took instead to his elder son, focusing his efforts on teaching Zuberi the skills needed to lead a pride. Abasi spent his young years throwing himself into Folami’s presence and trying to perform as his brother did. However, lacking in the same prowess, he trailed far behind the other in the skill of hunting, and his ‘father’'s pride made no attempt at correcting his mistakes. As time went on, it became clear that Abasi’s family would not be the only ones to shun him. It was obvious to the other animals that he was not Folami’s son, and the whispers and looks when he would go out ushered in a crushing shame for his low status. The time soon came for Zuberi to take over and promptly wasted no in time chasing his half-brother out. However Abasi didn't seem to mind, he's been waiting for that day. No longer seeking to please his pride, he strikes out on his own. It was difficult at first teaching himself to hunt properly, defend his kills...survive on his own with no company. Yet as years went on, his skills were honed and sharpened to an accomplished level.

      Abasi would be content to live out his days as a rogue, but age and maturity may very well shape his desires into something quite different. Abasi’s greatest strength is his quick wit and sharp tongue. Abasi is a sarcastic and somewhat bitter individual with few if any friendships. He prefers to live by his own set of rules, even if he isn’t sure of why he puts them in place himself, and although headstrong, Abasi generally prefers to keep to himself concerning his opinions and expresses them in wordless actions.
    • Sample role-play: The sun broiled and cooked the grasslands to its liking. Never quite finished with its obsessive task of baking the inhabitants to a charred cinder. Luckily for most, they were able to find the most sought after shade; whether it be in a cave, under a tree, or even underground. The waterholes were crowded at this time of day, the steady influx and need for water pleased both parties: The ancient crocodiles got a meal while their customers, parched for thirst, warily drank the cool water at the edge of the bank.

      It was much too hot to bother with feeding yet. Most days the lions slept until night fell for the hunt. The cubs played with each other under the watchful eyes of their mothers, happy to be lazing about and not worry of anything interrupting their peaceful rest. Abasi was idly surveying from his vantage point the vast expanse of green and yellow grass that moved by wind and beast. While the lions of this pride all slept together, he found no male in sight. Curious. Who was their leader and more importantly, where was he?
