Okay. So, I’ve
Chatterbox: Inkwell
Okay. So, I’ve
Okay. So, I’ve noticed a bit of a decline in RPs, and I thought I’d start one. This is a lion RP, with a plain old good vs. evil plot. There are the dark lions, all melanistic, the light lions, all albino, the jackals, and all the other lions. Dark lions are obviously evil, light lions are good, and the jackals and other lions are torn, 50/50ish. Max Charries is 4. It’s a little bit like the lion king, I guess. Here’s the form! I’ll post my characters when this shows up.
Name:
Age:
Gender:
Species: (light, dark or regular lion, jackal)
Ranking:
Shipping:
Appearance: (scars, eyes, size, stuff like that)
Personality:
Other:
Let me know if you think I should add something else! Please no one take the queen of the light lions or the prince of the jackals, as I would like to be them. Other than that, have fun! Be creative!

Ok so if your dad is the king of the dark lions, than your mom would be the queen of the dark lions, but if your mom is Pearl, the queen of the light lions, than your dad would be Mufasa, the king of the light lions.

OK.... how bout' my uncle is the guy I was watching? and my dad is Mufasa? yea, ok, so ima repost my writing.
(June 2, 2020 - 3:17 pm)
SO sorry I haven't posted anything yet! Also:
I realize I didn’t put Phantom’s age in human years. It’s about 11. ANYWAYS:
Phantom~
Hmmm. That’s my spot. What are you doing here? I wanted to, but of course I couldn’t ask those two. Their mom would just chase me off. It’s hard staying neutral. Aaliyah and Eveneia take all my spots. But then again… they don’t know they’re mine. Maybe I should just join up with them. Huh. It’s a thought.
Nah. Bad idea. But not really… all right, here I go.
Aaliyah jumps up in front of her sister. Why did I come this close? Well, what’s done is done. I sigh. “Who’re you?” Aaliyah snarls at me. I sigh again. This was a terrible idea, but since I’m here… “I’m Phantom. Do the light lions need a good huntress?” Now I sound like I’m applying for a job. I can tell the sisters think so too. Eveneia is shaking with silent laughter.
She jumps up and stands next to Aaliyah. Pretending to check a resumé* on the floor, she says in a formal voice, “As a matter of fact, Phantom, we do.” I crack a smile, showing all of my teeth. Aaliyah doesn’t find our joke nearly as funny as we do. “Come on. We are going to speak to my mother.” She says it as coldly as possible, and I don’t think I like her.
Aaliyah positions herself in between me and Eveneia, and I realize it’s not that she doesn’t like me. She’s trying to protect Eveneia. Well. That changes things. I like her a little better now, I guess. She stalks off quickly and quietly. She’d be a good huntress. And maybe she is one. I wouldn’t know.
*@Dolphin, I don’t know if these lions have resumés but I thought it would be funny.
@NoOneKnows, I hope you don't mind I took some liberties with your characters and wrote a bit about them...

REsubmiting my post!
~Aaliyah~
I wake up, and strech. I get up, and pad over to a rock. theres somthing unusual about the rock. it had... markings. of... codes? then I reconis the markings as the old languge of the Indeanins that killed my brother when he was three months old. I growled, though nothing was there. I charged over to the dark lions grounds, and spoted my uncle. he looked like he was satifyed with something. "thats not good..." I thought for the hundreth time, since my uncle, every once and awhile, had that look on his fase that said something like 'yes... another thing to go my way... and push me farther.' I looked around, and saw a lion that I couldn't take my eyes off. he had gold fur, and a brown mane. he turned, and saw me. I started to run, but he stared into my face, and I just couldn't move. he glanced over at my uncle, but when he looked back at me, I was gone. I ran, my claws riping at the dry earth, and I stoped, only to see the jackel Dune walking with my mother- and Mufasa- my dad. I walked over to them, and my mom greeted me with a soft "Hello, my dear. where have you been?" "I was... hunting." It was the first thing that came to my mind, so I said it.
~Eveneia~
i wached as my sister walked over to a rock and growled. I wondered what she was growling about. once she charged away, to who knows where, so I walked up to the rock. it had markings on it. I get why she growled now. these were the old markings of the people that had killed my brother. I growled to, just for good measure. then I spoted Aaliyah ran over to campus, and stoped to talk with our mom. I walked over to them just as Aaliyah said 'I was... hunting.' "hunting?" I asked. "yes, hunting." I gave her a look saying 'Girl, you better tell me whats going on.' she glared back: 'fine. if you really want to know...' so we walked over to our favorite spot, to bathe in the sun. she sighed and told me everything; "well, I was going to check on uncle, to see what he was doing, you know. anyway, i'm about to leave, and I see this guy. he was ADORABLE. then he looked at uncle, and when he looked back at were I was, I was already running back here. so, thats it. you know everything." and she closed her eyes, and let the sun warm her. so I did the same. it was just like old times, exept... exept... Jacqueline wasn't here. if you think lions can't cry, they do. because the liquid runing down Eveneia's cheek, was a real tear.
OK, so um, whoever is the king of the dark lions, is also my uncle. sooooo.... ya.

~Scar~
I licked my paw, and rubed it on my face. 'that hare shure was good.' i thought, as I licked my lips. I had the feeling that someone was waching me, so I turned around and looked at the entrance of the base. there was a girl. one that was... REALLY, REALLY, cute. she was staring right in his eyes. I glanced at the king, then back at her. but she was gone. so, I pad after her, sniffing the ground every once and awhaile. I spoted her bathing in the sun, with another lion. I perked up my ears, and heard her saying 'ADORABLE. then he looked at uncle, and then when he looked back at where I was, I was already running back here. so, thats it. you know everything.' 'hmmmm... was she talking about... me?' I thought. A new lion walked over to them and asked if they need a huntress. I backed away, and sat down to watch. the pretty lion, got up and sttod between the smaller lion and the one that asked if they need a huntress. she walked off, then walked over to... me?!?

Obsidian-
As I run away from the Light Lion encampment, I curse. I need more time with her! I’m always having to run away when someone else shows up. I decide to hunt, because that’s what I said I was going to do. I’m chasing an antelope when I see the rhino. I know that it’s been tormenting the Light Lions, and I suddenly have an idea. If I kill the rhino, then I’ll be accepted by the Light Lions. I charge towards it, not thinking. It turns around, gores me with its horn, and throws me against an acacia tree. I think, “Well, that was a dumb idea,” and then black out. When I wake up I see Jade. “Don’t die! Please don’t die!” Her voice is full of anguish. “What were you thinking, you stupid, brave lion?” “I was going... going to kill... the rhino... for you...” I trail off, pain overwhelming me. Pearl, the queen of the Light Lions, her daughters, and a jackal step forward.
Pearl-
The young Dark Lion is clearly in a lot of pain. I turn to my daughters. “You know what to get.” They nod, and run off to get healing plants, not questioning why I am helping this lion instead of killing him. He reminds me of my son, the one who died. Jade is by his side, crying. “Jade, I need you to move. I’m going to help him.” She nods and takes a couple steps back. Phantom, our new hunter, comforts her.
Dune-
“Can I kill him, your majesty? I’ll make it quick, put him out of his misery.” The beautiful lion with bright green eyes sobs louder. “Dune, you may not kill him. If you do, you will probably be killed yourself, by me, Jade, and the Dark Lions. Go get some spiderwebs.” Hmph. Just because she’s queen, she thinks she gets to order me around. I trot off, but when I pass Mufasa, coming to see what all the fuss is about, I say, “Your Queen is treating a Dark Lion like her son.” I don’t wait to see his reaction, just run off.

~Aaliyah~
Eveneia walkes over and asks "hunting?" I reply "yes, hunting." she shoots me a look saying 'you better tell mewhats up.' I glare back 'fine. if you really want to know...' wewalk over to our favarite spot, and lie on the sun. I tell Eveneia everything, and then I close my eyes so I can warm up. I hear feet, walking. I snap my head up, and see a lion looking at us. I get up, shake my coat, and sit in front of her, blocking my sister from her. I snarl "Who are you?" she sighs and says "I'm Phantom." I growl "what do you want?" she says "do the light lions need a good huntress?" Eveneia jumps up, and stands by my side. she says “As a matter of fact, Phantom, we do.” Phantom smiles, and I say, as cold as I can make it "come on. were going to talk to my mother." I start walking, but I see a lion sitting next to a big rock, waching us. I say "I'll meet you there. I need to get something." so they walk off without me, and I pad over to the lion I saw. he was the lion I saw at the dark lion camp. but he was here... "why are you here?" I ask him. "well, the truth is, I saw you at my camp, and well, I thought you were really pretty, and so I fallowed you here. so, heh." he stutters. I sniff him, and he smells like a kind-hearted person, just looking for a friend. "but your in the dark lions, right?" "well, yes, but, uhm, I don't want to be. I want a friend, or a... a...." he sighs. He won't finish his sentence, so I walk off to find my mom and the others.
ok, befor I do Eveneias, is it ok that I wrote kinda a lot for Scar? I will change it if you don't like it. thank you! bye! wait, it's not bye yet.
~Eveneia~
I walk off with Phantom, to find my mom. we see a cluster of lions by a tree so I run ahead of Phantom to check it out. Jade, my best friend, is crying. then I see the dark lion- Obsidean i think- at the bottom of the tree, a bloody wound in his side. I wisper to Jade "why do you like him? he looks stuck-up." "hes not. he just looks like that when hes in pain." she replys. "oh. ok, well, theres my sister. she can help him." Aaliyah walks over and sighs. she bends down and licks his paw, trying to comfort him. I knew they were freinds, so I told Jade. "See? there friends. she'll help him! don't worry." Aaliyah jumps up into the tree, and rips down a cople of leavs with her claws. she jumps down, and takes a leave in her mouth. she puts it on Obsidean's wound, and backs away. Jade shouts "I think we shoud take him to one of my favorite spots to rest. he can heal better there." some people mumer in agreement. we move Obsidean to the place Jade had told us about, and layed him down.
Ok, this is to everyone who I included in this part. please tell me if it's ok that I wrote some stuff for you. Dolphin, tell me if it's too much, and sorry for writing for Obsidean. Mustafa, i'm sorry for writing a little for Jade. Bye!
(June 3, 2020 - 12:56 pm)
It's fine, just next time, maybe don't do that much. thanks!
(June 3, 2020 - 3:19 pm)
@Dolphin, just so you know Jade is a regular lion soo... I changed it so it would sort of work but she doesn't live at the light lions encampment.
Mufasa~
When I heard what Dune said I am startled for a moment, memories of my son flash before my eyes, painful memories. I shake my head and walk over to a disturbing scene. Jade is crying and my wife and two of my daughters are tending to a severely wounded dark lion. I instantly see why my wife is so distressed. The lion is the spitting image of our son except that he is melanistic. I frown
"What happened to him?"
Pearl shook her head "I don't know what got into him, he tried to kill the rhino single handedly."
I shake my head, I should leave this foolish enemy to die, but he might have valuable information about the dark lions movements. I try to ignore my other reason for helping him, he looks like my son.
I tell them to tend to him and call our healer over. He administers herbs and helps to ease the pain. we are able to help him up and into the shelter of a rocky overhang. All the while, Jade never once left his side, and I wonder if any good can come out of the obvious affection she feels for this young lion. Taji walks over, clearly having run a long ways from his prides land. He heads straight towards Jade.
"Jade, what are you doing here? You were gone and know one knew where you were, why were you with the light lions? And why is there a dark lion here?"
Jade~
Taji walks over to me.
"Jade, what are you doing here? You were gone and know one knew where you were, why were you with the light lions? And why is there a dark lion here?"
I look down in shame. "I came here because Obsidian was trying to kill the rhino here and he got injured, I saw it when I was looking for him after I finished talking with you, and Obsidian is here because he was trying to talk to me."
I can see he is trying to process this, and is clearly very confused and angry. He shakes his head, "we'll talk later, right now let's get you back home."
I want to stay with Obsidian, but I don't want to argue, so I follow him, looking back once to see Obsidian, his eyes fixed on me as I walk away.
(June 3, 2020 - 1:41 pm)
Phantom~
“Eveneia, take her to Mother.” That was Aaliyah. The three of us had been walking for… a while. The older lion had circled me a couple of times, and was making sure I was absolutely safe to leave with her sister. Now she had. Eveneia looked excitedly at me. “Okay. Bye then.” She looked meaningfully at Aaliyah, and they exchanged secret smiles.
After Aaliyah lopes out into the grass, Eveneia looks at me. Sizes me up. Then she smiles. “Come on! Follow me.” We stalk off, soundlessly. We get to the camp, but there’s no time for me to “apply” for my job. A dark lion is charging at an extremely large rhinoceros. I know what’s going to happen before it does. The lion is thrown against an acacia- hard.
As the rhino is about to lunge for the lion to finish him off, I jump onto the rhino, distracting it. “Eveneia! Get- your- mother- NOW!” I yell at her in between baring my teeth and growling. Bug off, I say with my eyes. The rhino gets the message. I can practically hear its brain whirring in concentration. Not worth it. He lumbers off.
Eveneia’s already gone. Good. Pearl will be able to deal with this. But Aaliyah will need to be there too.
I run off, calling her name, but still on guard, in case the rhino comes back. “AALIYAH!” My throat is getting sore. I can hardly keep the note of panic out of my voice. She bursts through the brush, skidding to avoid me. “Thank- goodness-” I gasp, “Rhinoceros- lion- knocked out-” Aaliyah lunges for me. I duck to avoid her.
She pins me anyways. “WAS IT EVENEIA?” she asks me harshly. “No- she’s fine- a dark lion…” Aaliyah lets go of me. “Come on,” she says grimly. I follow her.
We move quickly, but not as quietly as before. I can’t keep myself from muttering, “Stupid lion- it could’ve kiled him.” Aaliyah looks at me, surprised. “He’s not dead?” I shake my head.
“What happened to the rhino, then?”
“I chased it off.”
I can’t keep the note of pride out of my voice. But based on Aaliyah’s reaction, it was okay. Her eyes hold a new respect for me. We hurry more. As we draw closer to the crime scene, I can hear sobbing. Now we’re running.
Eveneia looks at Aaliyah, Aaliyah rushes toward Eveneia. They whisper to each other. I stand still, hidden by the brush. They don’t know me- I don’t want them to freak out about a random lion with no clear alliance showing up. When the lion’s eyes open, the queen’s eyes lose their cold, rocklike quality. There’s something warmer there.
Mercy.
The jackal asks if he should kill the lion. This jackal has an (in my opinion) rather unpleasant, oily voice. So I completely agree with her majesty Pearl, when she tells him that if he does, he most likely will be killed also. He leaves, and in his anger, doesn’t detect me hidden in the brush.
Pearl says something to her daughters, but I’m too far away to hear. Both of them pad off, not too fast, but still with an urgent quality. Both of them catch my eye.
I haven’t evaded all detection, because not only that, but before I can join them, Pearl speaks to me.
“Unknown creature, reveal yourself.” So I do.
“My name is Phantom. I do not belong to any pride, because the family I had was massacred- by an unknown group of creatures. I don’t know, because I was asleep. This woke me up.” I twist slightly, to display a long, thin, scare down my side. “I killed that creature and ran. When I came back, the body was gone.”
Pearl’s eyes widen. “You’re a loner.”
She doesn’t ask it, she states it. “We haven’t had one of those in a long time,” she muses. Then her attention snaps back to me. “You wish to join us.” My mouth drops open. How did she know? “Yes,” I tell her.
“And why should we do that?” I stay silent. I don’t know what to say.
“I can hunt…?” I say, but so can a lot of other lions. Pearl stares, waiting.
Just then, Aaliyah and Eveneia show up. “She saved him-” Eveneia says, nodding a head at the injured lion, “and she chased off the rhino,” Aaliyah finishes. Eveneia nods. “I was there.”
Nodding, Pearl tells her daughters to get started on the lion on the floor, and turns back to me.
“Welcome to our pride.”
