[align=center][b][size=18]Masa's Shark SoA Quest - Now With Added God![/size][/b] [color=slategray][size=18]~ The Great White Firekin ~[/size] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/GaiaSigs/Pets/ZizimaArt.jpg[/img] [b]Name:[/b] Zizima [b]Meaning:[/b] Cool off, disappear, sink down, be calm, be cold, be collected, be composed, become cool, sink, be swallowed up [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Species:[/b] Lion [b]Stage:[/b] Adolescent [b]Lineart:[/b] Firekin [b]Pride:[/b] None [b]Eye Colour:[/b] Black [b]Colours:[/b] He's coloured like a great white shark. He's a silvery shade of grey. The grey goes all the way down his back and down his front and back paws. The border between the grey and white is reletively jagged, with small specks of grey on the white. [b]Markings:[/b] There's lots of pale pink scars all over his body. [b]Reference pics:[/b] [url=http://www.gaiaonline.com/gaia/redirect.php?r=http://www.jeffsweather.com%2Fweatherlog%2Farchives%2Fgreatwhite.jpg](@)[/url] [url=http://www.gaiaonline.com/gaia/redirect.php?r=http://www.jawsthegame.com%2Fimages%2Fscreens%2Fbig%2Fscreen0014.jpg](@)[/url] [url=http://www.gaiaonline.com/gaia/redirect.php?r=http://www.sharks.com%2Ftypes-of-sharks%2Fshark-pictures%2Fgreat-white-shark-picture-018.jpg](@)[/url] [b]Personality:[/b] Zizima is extremely cold and uncaring. He cares only about himself and his own well-being, and finds it extremely difficult to socialise. Because of his cold-hearted nature, it is not easy to provoke him. He would sooner shrug off a fight than jump right into one. [b]History:[/b] Zizima's mother Palia was a Firekin and his father Shani was a Rogue. That is why he is grey and white, those were the colours of his father. Palia was in an intimate relationship with another Firekin named Wakia, but that was only to hide the true love she had for Shani, who she met whilst hunting. They would meet often in the dark, spending the whole night together, but leaving each other before the sun rose. She eventually became pregnant, and the Firekins rejoiced, thinking that the cubs that would soon be born would be pure blood Firekins that could carry on the Pride. It was a difficult birth, as she was a young adolescent at the time. Palia gave birth to only one cub, infront of the rest of the Pride. The shock and horror on all their faces caused it quickly to dawn on her that the cub must be the Shani's, not Wakia's. The Firekins were outraged and were ready to exile her, or even kill her. Wakia, however, still loved her, even though she had betrayed him in the worst possible way imaginable. He allowed her to stay within the Pride under one condition; that her cub be put to death. Of course she refused, and eventually she managed to come to an agreement with him. The cub could live hidden within the Firekin lands, out of the eyes of the other Firekin, until he was old enough to fend for himself. Then, she would abandon him far from their lands. At the time she had no intention of abandoning him. But as time went on and she forgot Shani, her love for Wakia grew. By the time Zizima became a juvenile, his mother had come to resent him. One day when she went to visit him, she attacked him, telling him to leave before she killed him. Zizima left, saddened by his mother's change of heart, but also glad of it. He was free now, free to wander wherever he chose. He felt a certain degree of bitterness towards the Firekin, but not much, since he had devoloped a bit of a "couldn't care less" attitude.[/color] [color=slategray][size=18]~ GOT HIM! ~[/size][/color] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/GaiaSigs/Pets/ZizimaAdultL.png[/img] [color=darkslategray][size=18]~ The Megalodon Ela'wadiyian ~[/size] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/GaiaSigs/Pets/MzimuArt.jpg[/img] [b]Name:[/b] Mzimu [b]Meaning:[/b] Ancestor, meeting place of ancestral beings, dead person, ghost, place where offerings are made to the spirits of ancestors, soul, ancestral spirit, dwelling place of spirits, African place of worship [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Species:[/b] Lion [b]Stage:[/b] Adult [b]Lineart:[/b] Ela'wadiyi [b]Pride:[/b] None [b]Eye Colour:[/b] White ( He's blind ) [b]Colours:[/b] He's an extremely dark shade of blue-grey...almost black, but not quite black. He's about 80% grey and 20% white. That means the line between the grey and the white is much further down on his body. Also, instead of the border between the two colours being very obvious, the grey blends/fades quickly into the white. The tips of his mane are light grey...since he's so old, he's going light grey with age. [b]Markings:[/b] The feather in his ear is blood red, with one gold bead and one silver bead. [b]Reference pics:[/b] None ( He's based on an extinct shark ) [b]Personality:[/b] Mzimu is incredibly old, and so is very synical. He believes that all young creatures today are rather unintelligent, and are ruled by their hearts and hormones instead of their minds. Being blind, he has a rather negative outlook on life, but again, his general crankyness can be put down to his age. [b]History:[/b] To be added after Zizima has been sorted out.[/color] [color=cornflowerblue][size=18]~ The God of All Fish ~[/size] [b]Name:[/b] Bahari'nswi [b]Meaning:[/b] Something immeasurable, immensity, ocean, sea, something vast, fish [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Species:[/b] Lion [b]Stage:[/b] Adult [b]Lineart:[/b] God [b]Pride:[/b] None [b]Eye Colour:[/b] Light pink [b]Colours:[/b] He's a misty shade of blue with shades of light blue fading into white towards the end of his paws with pretty wavey patterns. His mane is the same, only it is a darker shade of blue, and instead of eventually fading to white it just fades to a lighter blue. Mixed in with the blue of his body there's a Northern Lights effect. It's a wobbly, un-even sort of rainbow, going along his back towards his tummy. i want this in pretty pale pinks, yellows, blues...any pretty colours really. His tummy and his muzzle are a blueish-green colour. The skin between his spiny wings is a light pink colour with a shiney effect, and is also translucent (if possible). [b]Markings:[/b] Around his eye there's a dark blue line that curls up at the end corner (kinda like Egyptian eyes). There's also some thin, blueish-green stripes (like his tummy/muzzle colour) around his spines and his tail. [b]Line Edits:[/b] Firstly, I'd like his mane to be made thicker and to look more wavey. Also, I'd like some curls at the tips of his mane. I want his eye to be slightly narrowed and his eyebrow cocked, to give him a more regal look. Instead of the default jewellery, I'd like a charm necklace and a long charm earring. By charms, I mean little shells, gems, rocks and teeth. Nothing too bulky, just nice and delicate. Next, I want the default wings taken away and instead I want him to have wings that are like the fins of lionfish, although, not with as many spines. In between the spines, I want thin, light pink (translucent, if possible) skin, curving in slightly, a bit like bat wings. I want similar spines coming up out of his mane, pointing backwards, and also a bunch going down his back. I want similar spines on his front paws with the pink skin in between. Also, I'd like two smaller spines on each side of his muzzle, kinda like the whiskers of a cat fish. Lastly, I want his tail to be shaped like a fin at the end, with some long spines making it up along with the light pink skin.

[align=center][size=14][b]~:Amy's Aquarium:~[/b][/size] [b]:Isilahi:[/b] [img]http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d190/sharkskin/isilahi-concept.jpg[/img] [/align] [b]Name:[/b] Isilahi 'Peacemaker' [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Species:[/b] Lion [b]Stage:[/b] Adult [b]Lineart Aiming For:[/b] Mistweaver [b]Personality:[/b] Extremely serene and laid back, Isilahi has a profound connection to water that she can't quite explain. On the outside, she is helpful, caring, a natural mother in a way. But in stark contrast, she is fairly distanced from forming relationships and friendships, trying not to get emotionally involved with anyone. If she is confronted with something not to her liking, she will turna way from it rather than face it. [b]History:[/b]Born in the once lustrous lands of the Mistweavers, ruled over by their king and queen, Isilahi was one of only two cubs to be blessed to Manyanyota and Panju. As such, the young cub was extremely attached to her sister, almost inseperable. And they never tired of each other's company. And they both loved the plentiful water in the Mistweaver lands. They loved it so that they felt they had to be in it almost constantly, and they both grew to be swimmers. Isi was stronger than her sister, and often pulled her around the many pools. One day, Isi and her sister raced to their favourite pool. Isi was slower, being slightly bigger. Her sister reached the pool first and dived in. But she did not surface. By the time Isi arrived at the pool, her sisters body was lifeless in the water, a limp dark mass. Isi dived in, and pulled her free. But it was too late. Isi was heartbroken. It was like a piece of her had disappeared that day. Nothing seemed to sparkle anymore, not even the fireflies. And every pool of water seemed to mock the forlorn Isi. She still loved it so, but water had no come to mean death to the cub. And being surrounded by it drove her almost to insanity. So she left the Mistweaver lands, now leaving grieving parents to mourn the loss of two cubs. Isi is now an adult, and has travelled far. During her time, she came to care for the elderly Mzimu and the young but boisterous Takilifu. Deep down, the waters of the Mistweaver land still call to her, but still haunt her with the image of her dead sister. [align=center][b]:Takilifu:[/b] [img]http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d190/sharkskin/takilifu-concept.jpg[/img][/align] [b]Name:[/b] Takilifu 'Troublemaker' [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Species:[/b] Leopard [b]Stage:[/b] Cub [b]Lineart Aiming For:[/b] n/a [b]Personality:[/b] A typical cub, he's always upto mischief. Taki is extremely agile and sure-footed for a lion, and shows some great aptitude for climbing trees. He always charges head first into any situation, thinking 'braun over brain.' He can also be a little oblivious of the finer things in life, like conversation and feelings. But he still has quite a long way to go yet, maybe he'll change in his lifetime... [b]History:[/b]Abandoned by his own mother, Takilifu has spent his short life so far drifting from family to family, being left behind each time due to his pranks and somewhat disturbing tendency to bite, scratch, claw and generally scrabble around. He also puts other cubs into danger. But after being abandoned once more, he did not have the energy to search for another, and lay inside a disused den. It was there that Isilahi found him. [align=center][b]:Tambuzi and Tipwa:[/b][/align] [img]http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d190/sharkskin/tambuzi.jpg[/img] HOCRAP, TAMBUZI! [b]Name:[/b] Tambuzi 'Intelligent' and Tipwa 'Strong' [b]Gender:[/b] Males [b]Species:[/b] Lion [b]Stage:[/b] Adolescent and Cub [b]Lineart Aiming For:[/b] Rogue [b]Personality:[/b] Based on, but not completely copied from, the characters of Lenny and George from 'Of Mice and Men.' Tambuzi is the intelligent brother. He is older than Tipwa, and takes care of him since their mother was slaughtered by poachers for her unusual and delicate fur. Tipwa is the sole cub in his litter, and somewhat chubby. He appears to have some kind of learning disorder. He can follow orders very well, but lacks any true capability to think for himself. He also has trouble with right and wrong, and tends to cause accidents by not knowing his own strength. Tambuzi, however, is smaller than the average lion. Although he still has time to grow, it doesn't look like he'll grow much more. He is very smart and free-thinking, very open to life. He is respectful and trustworthy. While Tipwa is only a cub yet, Tambuzi almost resents his new position of 'temporary parent'. [b]History:[/b]Tambuzi was the runt of his siblings. It wasn't a particularly large litter either, but still, poor Tambuzi was born much smaller than his siblings. He even needed to suckle his mother longer than the others, making him a 'Mama's boy' to his would-be friends. Where he lacked in strength, Tamba excelled in intelligence, and could quickly outsmart or dissipate a foe. He was also quite calculating, and improved many of his family's hunting techniques. Tamba was the last to leave his mother, partly by choice as he had not wanted to see her alone. But he needed to get out into the world and meet lions who would not judge him by his size. Tipwa is a single cub. Although to look at his mother when she was pregnant, she looked like she was carrying at least two cubs. Tipwa is Tamba's little brother, and their mother was slain by poachers not long after Tipwa's birth. And so, it was on a visit to his mother that Tamba became big brother and father to Tipwa. The little cub, whilst born with great strength and size, is mentally handicapped.

She's very loyal to her friends, but can be a fierce enemy. She rarely gets mad though. She has always preferred hunting in the night and often sleep during the day. ~This is just a preview of her personality![/color][/b][/align] [/size][align=center][b][color=#7A644D][size=13]~The History~[/size][size=9] Born at night on a shore......? ~I'll type more, this is just a teaser XD[/color][/b][/align] [/size][align=center][b][color=#7A644D][size=13]~The Gold~ [/size][size=11]20k / 400k[/size] [size=9](5,0 %) Please only donate in gold if you can, 'cause I find it hard to sell things XD;; [img]http://i1.tinypic.com/n4xgle.gif[/img][url=http://www.gaiaonline.com/profile/index.php?view=profile.ShowProfile&item=1303720][img]http://i1.tinypic.com/n4xh1s.gif[/img][/url][img]http://i1.tinypic.com/n4xh6p.gif[/img][/color][/b][/align] [/size][align=center][b][color=#7A644D][size=13]~Thanks To~[/size][size=9] ...[/size][size=11]Amy D[/size] [size=9]for making the gorgeous concept art! :heart: ...[/size][size=11]Safaia[/size][size=9] for donating 2800 gold! :heart: ...all those who bumped the thread or wished me/us luck! :heart: [/color][/b][/align][/size]
[align=center]~[b]B[/b]aneful's SoA quest~[/align] [size=9][align=center][img]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y57/Rorrim/mako4.jpg[/img][/align] [align=center][color=darkblue]Name: Mako [b]Meaning:[/b] Unknown, possibly of Maori origin. [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Species:[/b] Lion [b]Stage:[/b] Adult [b]Lineart:[/b] Mistweaver [b]Pride:[/b] None [b]Eye Colour:[/b] Dark blue [b]Colours:[/b] Mako is a medium ocean blue that fades to a much darker almost midnight blue across his back. Within that he has a few spots and speckles that stray into his base colour. His belly, legs and face have sleek white markings across them in imitation of the mako shark's own white highlights. His toes are midnight blue, matching his mane and tailtip. [b]Markings: [/b] Mako has two matching sets of self-inflicted scars in imitation of gill slits on either side of his face. [b]Personality: [/b] A wild child, Mako wasn't suited to the life of a Mistweaver, his nature much too rambunctious and frivolous for a pride based on spiritual learning. He is cynical of anything he can't see or touch and would rather cause chaos than contemplate the world. He will attempt to flirt with any creature on four legs, though means none of it and he is a speed freak to the core, loving nothing more than to sprint, all out across the plains, his shimmering blue fur shining in the sunlight. [b]History: [/b] Under Construction [b]Current funds: None. (though give to the others before myself, I have other methods of procuring lions and would not like to be selfish.)[/b] [/color][/align] [/size][/b]
