Happy 2021 to all! Big thank you for hanging out and being awesome for the first two-ish months of the site. It's been fun so far, looking forwards to a lot this year! If you haven't seen, after a delay, the last day of the advent can be claimed now (here). You have three choices for your last advent prize including a second chance at a creature pass. That's right we have creatures coming to Aesseldar now! Be sure to check the announcement for any rule clarifications if you're interested. Last big bit of news we do have our light layout "in the mist" ready to be used. There will still be tweaks and color changes coming in the next week or so by the fantastic dusk so don't be afraid if things look a little different.

Congratulations to Zay for winning the pride raffle with Runar! Welcome our new pride, Adamo Autumna! Don't forget to keep posting in the advent to claim your awesome prizes, and within the next few days you'll see some additional posts cropping up in the ooc areas. We'd love some feedback on the site and will be adding an area for feedback and suggestions. We will also be adding a thread to post all your open threads. Another fantastic surprise is that Koafox (some of you may know her as Miranda from other sites) has said we are welcome to use their table switcher plugin. As soon as I get the files we will be integrating that into the site for everyone to enjoy!

TWO news posts back to back my oh my stuff must be brewing! We wanted to let everyone know that the third pride slot has opened. Unlike the other slots we wanted to give everyone a chance to go for it as well, so we'll be raffling it! In order to enter the raffle please DM an admin or the Eoin account with your OOC and which character you'd like to enter the raffle with. The only requirement that has to be met is that the character must be 2 years of age or older (meaning that number of posts and feathers doesn't matter). So get your entries in, the more the merrier as we head into the new year! The other exciting news is that our neutral/lighter colored layout will be out by the end of the year, thanks to the lovely dusk!

Thank you so much everyone for a fantastic first month opening. We wanted to thank you all and let you know that we've decided to extend the grand opening bonuses for one more week, so you can bring in your first three characters free through 12/11! In other news our first contests have started and we couldn't be more excited! You may participate in the following, if you haven't already partaken: Advent Calendar, Superlatives, Advertising Contest, OTMs, and the Writing Contests. We'll be releasing another update soon with some super fun surprises, but some of Eoin's events have drawn to an end and it appears some new boards may start popping up! Expect to see more of Eoin, as well as some adjustment to the event threads, for some of the future boards as well!

11/28/2020 Staff
As we bring another week to close we'd like to welcome everyone to participate in our first contest! The Advertising contest is up and provides some really great rewards, as well as participation rewards! Coming soon are the first set of OTMs and superlatives, a writing contest, a sneak peak at our more refined skills system, and a few other small updates. Happy weekend everyone!

11/19/2020 Staff

12/15/2020 Eoin
With three new terrains open and a third pride staking a claim once more, our mischievous deity Eoin appears to be up to no good again. The quake that cracked open the mountain and closed it once more was felt around the lands, and three new terrains popped open. Tryphosa Shore now has an Atoll sub-board, and there is a Desert and a Rift board. Several more will be coming... but first Eoin will make an impression.

11/17/2020 Eoin
The rainforest trembles, as if fighting back against those who dare to occupy it. The lands of Aesseldar are still only half-tamed, unfettered and unwilling to give way to any aspiring King, any growing empire. And just as quick as King Barnabas came to lay claim to it did it begin to push back, forcing his fledgling pride out with an unforgiving downpour, and a bitter resentment of the creatures that dwell within. With one pride felled, it leaves the opportunity for another to rise from the ashes.

11/4/2020 Eoin
It happened on a hot, humid night. No one there to witness it. Somewhere, surely, it could be heard. The start of a crack. The sound vibrating from mountain top to valley dips. It was a long and dreadful noise. Somewhere in the mountains, somehow, one of the peaks had collapsed. An impassible tower of sharpened points- gone. Snow, with the hidden rocks from the destruction, slid down the slopes that were formed by ages. A wave of white forced outward to cover all below. At first it is still much too dangerous to traverse. But with time the new ground settles and with it comes- a pass. On the other side awaits a land untouched by the curious paws. The lands of Aesseldar have been revealved and somewhere down below three pridelands sit empty, awaiting for eager travelers to start staking their claims. Please refer to the grand opening announcement for information on how to claim a pride slot and fully customize it, since there are some grand opening bonuses or exceptions that are not referenced in the guidebook! We would also love to let everyone know that any official in-character news that gets posted in this "in-character" section of the layout is going to be considered common knowledge for any character in-game. Consider it like an in-character bulletin board! We will keep it updated with relevant and applicable information and hope it helps inspire your plots.

Spring Y11
With spring the clouds begin to disperse and the warmer weather begins and new life blooms. With new lands having been discovered there is a plethora of places for the lions to explore and yet somehow that mischievous site deity never seems to stop bringing the surprises, some of which include occasional inclement weathers. Temps varying between 45°-80°F (7°-27°C).

@Hunter is one of a litter of three and has a brother and a sister available for adoption. At present they would be two years and some change old.

SHAKTI BLOOD (ELAGENT MONSTERS, 'VAMPIRES'.)
MOTHER - Is Chianya *Sharknado Shakti, daughter of the original Hunter and Wokabi Maat. She would have raised her children to follow the Shakti laws (if they do so when out of her sight is up to you!) These laws are 1) Do not betray family. 2) Do not harm cubs or the innocent (aka those who do not provoke or attack you). 3) Do not forcebreed. 4) No incest. The family laws are enforced on pain of death.

Darkness runs in this branch of the Shakti line by way of bloodlust, cannibalism, sensitivity to bright light, and a tendency twoards sociopathy to varying degrees. However not all members struggle with these problems equally or indeed at all. Chianya for example only shows mild tendencies (and her father's sensitivity to light) and is more gentle hearted. Shakti can speak English, French and some Romanian generally and are descended from the Dieudonne bloodline, and the Maat bloodline (although not much would have been mentioned about this).


KAZEYAMA BLOOD ( FLAME HEARTED TACTITIONS)
FATHER - Dad is of the Kazeyama line, highly intelligent tacticians, spies, and warriors. They are selective what jobs are chosen. Traditional, honorable (to their own code), and fond of games. They are very family oriented and protective of friends and allies. They are Japanese ninja inspired. This family line tends to be proud and dignified. Fire is the family symbol and is considered sacred to a degree. Kazeyama speak English and Japanese, at times a spattering of other languages.


GENERAL POINTS -

* The siblings would have the following languages other than English available to them should they have wanted to learn - fluent French and Japanese, passing Romanian.

* They would have been allowed to choose to go by mom's surname (Shakti) or Dad's surname (Kazeyama) at six months of age, or both.

* They would have been raised with the idea their brother Hunter was the incarnation of their paternal grandfather. (if they still believe this is up to you!)

* Hunter would have allowed them to see his 'darkness' but kept it hidden to a degree from their parents.

* It is likely the siblings would feel the need to 'take out/punish' any family member disrespecting the family laws to a large degree as it would be a disgrace.

* Hunter left the family on good terms to explore, their parents are loving.

* Also available, three open slots for younger 1 year old siblings. Any genders.

There were two German siblings I was thinking of bringing in, and they also had a brother--not with them--named Hunter. Even though I've decided not to bring them in, I still feel like this app is calling for me xD

Séverin Kazeyama. Male (Cisgender). 2yrs. Large (3'9in & 517lbs). Born Nov, Yr8.

Personality: Chaotic Neutral, very family-oriented, loyal, brutal, gives tough love, self-disciplining, cannibalistic, photophobic

Despite taking on many traits from his mother's line, he favors the Kazeyama bloodline in that he finds many of their values and beliefs to be worth showing respect to. The Shakti bloodline is only a smear on what he'd otherwise find honorable.

His cannibalistic tendencies, bloodlust, and intrigue in women are kept under control as much as he can will it, though he often struggles internally on whether resisting these desires is good, or if they are a wrongful denial on core aspects of himself.

He values his family above all else, knowing that family is forever, and does not take it lightly when they are harmed. He will stick with them through and through, willing to put a lot of things under the rug and turn a blind eye to their misdemeanors. The world is their oyster, after all. The way he treats them may, at first glance, seem uncaring and demeaning, but it's how he shows his affection towards them. An insult here, a rough bump on the shoulder there; it is all in the name of jest and love.

Those deemed an enemy by himself or his blood will be faced with the same wrath and fury as a mother would show defending her children, and he will go out of his way to ensure the threat does not come back again.

On the outside, Séverin appears to be a relaxed, if somewhat withdrawn, guy. He has no qualms with working with others or holding back rudeness, if he does not consider the other to be a threat, and is actually rather amicable around children. They are just little babes, not yet used to the harshness of the world.

Fire seems to have an odd place in his heart, being revered as some sort of hand or aspect of a God--how else can you explain it? He believes it was a gift from Them, for all who care to learn how to control and wield the fire may carry a portion of the Gods' powers.

Lastly, Séverin has a hobby of collecting bones. He likes to collect the teeth bone of particularly memorable creatures, and adorn them as a necklace wrapped in vines that he regularly changes out. For animals with uninteresting or small teeth, he takes the tip of a horn or the last tail bone.

Appearance:
Sunset base coat
Russet-red mane
Lighter undersides, toes, and muzzle
Two stripes under each eye going from eyes to bottom of cheeks
Oceanic blue eyes
Will come in with a necklace made of vines that have different, varying sizes of bones intertwined within it.

Brief para of appearance here (likely gonna make it after the app's possible acceptance--it'll have no affect on the app itself.


Finished! (The Fess tag was mysteriously removed but I didn't put it back)

Bryn Shakti-Kazeyama
Non-binary (Female), 2yrs, Goliath (4'0", 430 lbs)

Loyal, semi-apathetic, intelligent, hot-headed, mild sensitivity to light, vampirstic rather than cannibalistic
Bryn has always found it easy to get along with their brothers. They like the way the three of them banter, and very rarely gets tired of seeing the two of them. The bond they formed never truly went away when Hunter went to explore. But, to a degree, Bryn never felt the same with only two of the three littermates together. Eventually, their loyalty grew too great, and they began to follow the way he had gone to Aesseldar. Maybe it was truly to escape Séverin’s never ending jabs about their mohawk.

The oldest of the litter does not relate to those outside the family very well. Despite wanting to have the temperament and empathy of their mother, Bryn instead feels little but pity for others. The lion tries their very best to at least seem empathetic, though, knowing even that goes a long way for some felines. Perhaps it was a way Bryn developed to combat one brother’s darkness with another’s tough love.

Bryn is fairly intelligent and quick-thinking. They analyze many situations before going into them, and it’s common to see their eyes shifting around a group of lions before deciding who to speak with first. They will recognize the biggest threats, size, impression, and irritability all play a role in if they think you’re safe to speak with.

Sometimes, though, this intelligence goes flying down the river. If Bryn gets especially irritated or upset, they are not afraid to let the person know or perhaps even fight them. They try to restrain themself but when someone hits a nerve, sometimes that restraint ceases to exist. In the case of Séverin, he may get the occasional eye roll or quick jab with a paw. But outside the family the consequences could be much worse.

When it comes to traits they inherited from the Shakti line, they think they got a better draw of luck than many others. They have a mild sensitivity to light, and will often avoid the afternoon, but are normally just fine any other time of the day. When it comes to bloodlust, Bryn was unfortunate enough to inherit this trait. Though Bryn has good restraint and control of the compulsion, sometimes it is almost impossible for them to stop. Especially when they see or smell blood.

@ResidentRowan can I just say how much I love your app? xD Idk why but I love how you included how they would react with Severin, Puts a smile on my face
