The Children of Banba Clan


This thread's purpose is to organize the upcoming roleplay contests into one thread so it doesn't get confused with regular rp in the shop and no entries get lost. This thread will be reused because many Saighneian are going to be roleplayed off and we believe here at The Plains of Saighneian that recycling threads is good.

Just so no one can say they couldn't find the roleplaying rules xD

All Saighneian Obtained From Roleplay Contests Are Roleplay Required Reguardless of Future Rank!

Roleplaying is the main focus of the Saighneian. They are much like the big cats called lynxes in their mannerisms, so you have an easy real life example of how your Saighneian can act. By roleplaying your Saighneian consistently, you enable them to breed when there is a breeding den availiable. There are also possibilities of roleplayers getting added benefits in the future. Not to mention all of that, roleplaying is just plain fun! Despite that, we do need a few rules to keep things civil.

1. Always roleplay in third person singular! Please put some sort of mark around speech to determine it from thoughts and actions. An easy mark is "quotations". Roleplay is also always to be in past tense. Ex: Bob jumped over the fence and hurt himself. "Ow!" he said.

2. Fighting in character is fine, not every Saighneian always likes every other one, but there is to be now fighting out of character.

3. Obviously no powerplaying, godmoding or anything else annoying like that. You control your Saighneian, your Saigh is not immortal, simple simple. Nyght hates the pping and gming....

4. Don't exclude anyone. If you are roleplaying with just one other person, and some one else wants to join but its not in your plot, just let them know and offer to roleplay later. Please be nice, everyone likes to roleplay with eachother, and it's no fun to be excluded from the group.

5. You can't kill off other people's Saighneian unless it is plot related and has been agreed on with both owners and Nyght.

6. Please just be nice to eachother, don't be stupid and just try to enjoy the lovely thing that is roleplaying.

A map is coming soon, but for now I'll just explain the setting.

Plains Saighneian live on the grassy plain lands of a northern island. There are dark mountains to the north, which appear impassable. There is an extensive forest to the south and west which is far too dark and dense for a Plains creature to adventure too far into. To the east is the glittering Atlantic ocean, to which many rivers flow across the plains.

*Note: All Saighneian cubs are born and raised in their native land. There is no "I'm from some other country". These are simple felines that only live on this island. There is no way for them to travel off of it, they can't swim across an ocean....

6-15-06: Two more Saighneian are going up for the RP Contest. This time it's going to be a little tricky for me because I'll be in Chicago for the end of this contest, and it's highly unlikely I'll be able to call it done, so when i get back, I'm just going to look at the times and whichever are posted before are good, after aren't, and I'm going to hope that my threadlings will watch for posting and editing, because they love me right? xD So yes, we're open once again, enjoy!

4-23-06: Alrighty, so I have the two Saighneian who are going to be starting today all set up. If stuff comes up and I can't get the clan info up by the contest start time, go ahead and post whatever you want to at 10 CST and I'll get it up asap. Also, if you have questions, just post 'em, I know there are probably a lot of things I haven't covered here, I'm not very detail based if you couldn't tell razz

Rushing to get everything ready by tonight when I promised I'd start the first contest smile

Queen Riona is a gentle femme, believing that a clan will work better if everyone respects and cares for eachother, rather than harsh rule by the Leaders. She is often found consulting with her mate and King, Niall, over situations that both must deal with. She is a capable hunter, however is asked to stay back many more hunts recently due to her aging mother. However she does feel a gap in her caring life, where her first born son used to be. Sometimes she is found crying on the outskirts of the lands, searching for signs of her baby boy in depression, though most of the time she will put on a serene face for any passers-by, only her beloved Niall and her mother Sithmaith are allowed to see her tears. Nevertheless, Riona does as her mate asks of her and gives her advise when it is asked, and sometimes when it isn't.

Basically she's a: Gentle but Strong Queen

Prompt:
Quote:

You have been asked to stay back to take care of the young and older members of the clan while your mate and daughter go off on a hunt. Sithmaith is sleeping and the youngsters are being watched over by a few of her friends, which means you are free of duty. The day is young and there is a shining lake only a short walk from you. However there is also the whisper of your son, your long lost baby from the outskirt scouts. You have many sundashes time to use as you like before the other members need you and your beloved mate returns. Where do you choose to go? What do you decide to spend your day doing?



I'm only expecting a few paragraphs, I'd prefer no more than three honestly. You can take mild control of other characters, but I've given you hints on their reactions purposely. You can lead this one where ever you feel it should go, just remember not to take it too far xD. Have fun, and please use the form below:

After her mate passed on, Sithmaith grew into a strong sideline leader. She is always willing to help guide her daughter through some finicky affair of being a queen, without being too overpowering. Her paleing face gives tell of just how old she is getting to be, and just how much more fragile she is becoming by the day. Mostly this old queen enjoys to sun herself or go for short walks or sometimes play with cubs. She is most talented however at telling stories, some real and some fantasized, but engaging and powerful stories none the less. She knows that Riona appreciates the break that Sithmaith provies the weary Queen when Sithmaith takes over the nanny duties for an afternoon, and truly enjoys still being of use to the Clan.

Basically she's a: Weary but Cheerful Grandmother

Prompt:
Quote:

The older cubs have gone off on their own adventures and King Niall has gone with to watch over them. Riona naps in the shade of the Banba Tree, seemingly slightly troubled in her sleep, but that is only understandable because of the rumors of her lost son. Sithmaith is left with the maternal role, watching over the few young cubs that have found their protection from the Clan. When one little one, barely old enough to speak, let alone walk, scoots up to her and asks decisively, "Stowy?" what is a motherly grandmother to do? Shall you tell of the time you and your mate visited the rumored Moutain Saighneian? Or when you were asked to speak with the noble Andraste Clan leader in the west? Or should you simply turn the little cub around and tell him that sleep time is now, for all of you? The possibilities are endless, just like the imagination of a little cub.


A few paragraphs is just fine for an entry, please not much more than three, it'll take a while for me to read them anyway smile Some character interaction is certainly understandable, but I'd like you to focus on the speaking of Sithmaith, since she will tend to speak more than move all that much. Feel free to create an elaborate tale of adventure and peril or just a little fairy tale to entertain a young cub. Enjoy! Please use the form below:

User ImageName of Clan: Children of Banba

Religion: The Children of Banba follow the Goddess Banba who they believe inhabits the tree that they have come to live around, in and in some cases under. They believe that the way to connect best with their goddess is to protect the tree and that by sleeping in its shadow and among its prosperous roots, one may receive dream messages from the Goddess. Because their goddess inhabits the (arguably) largest tree on the Plains, the Children of Banba believe that all nature is sacred, and if they are found away from home, any tree may receive their goddess if they are in need of her.

Territory: The Banba tree is located on the east side of the Plains, making it a strangely lone tree. It is a large, aged, knotted species of evergreen not seen commonly on the mainlands of the Americas and Europe. It stretches up almost farther than a little Saighneian can see, it is wider than three Saighneian winding around it nose to tail. Across its rough bark are large lumps making it perfect for climbing to get to higher branches. Its root network is curious in their exposure above ground. Large roots flex up to open air, creating little tunnels and caves for cubs to hide and play in. There is a familiar dipped set of roots that is typically the throne for the leader of the clan. Due to hard work digging underneath the root network there are a number of dens perfect for young cubs to be born and raised in. To the far east the glittering ocean can be seen, but the Children of Banba tend to avoid the vast ocean after losing lives to it in vicious storms. The plains stretch out from the Banba tree to the west and north, seemingly never ending until the harsh mountains and dark forest force the rolling grasses to surrender.

The Children of Banba roam the plains all the way to the beaches and about a day or two's walk in land from their precious tree, not wishing to stray too far away from their goddess. Hunting of hares and birds makes for good eating on the plain lands near the tree.

Hierarchy: The Children of Banba follow a monarchial system in which the first born (male or female) of the current king and queen inherit the leadership of the clan when the current leaders lose their ability to rule. A female adult may rule alone, just as a male may. They may also choose a mate, and should the inherited leader lose the ability to rule, their chosen mate may rule in their stead. Forced union is not approved of in the clan in any situation since females may rule solitarily. The leaders of the clan may determine if new comers may join the clan or not, as well as what position they may take once they are a member.

Members: King Niall, Queen Riona, Princess Saraid, Uncle Uaithne, Queen Mother Sithmaith, Past King Eoghan (deceased), Lost Heir ninja

Leader: King Niall and Queen Riona

Ends at 10 pm CST Sunday April 30th

King Niall is a noble king in unfortunate circumstances. He has great respect for his mate and Queen, listening to her advice when given, though he attempts to keep the mentality in his clan that he is in charge. He feels no hostility towards the matriarchial clan following Andraste, Goddess of Victory, though he knows they do not appreciate his reign. He has become deeply troubled by the loss of his first born son, the proper heir to the throne, and often looks to his brother-in-law, Uaithne for support. He believes in fairness to all the members of his Clan and is often found laying beneath the branches of the Banba Tree while searching for guidance from his goddess. The King believes in a balance of nature, encouraging all members of his clan to eat only what they need, kill only what they'll use and treat all living things with respect. He is a true child of Banba, as his father Eoghan raised him to be, and as he was hoping to raise his first born son to be.
Basically he's a: Troubled but Noble King

After the first rain of the spring your clan is wet, cold and hungry. The lake in front of the Banba tree is close to overflowing its banks, so water is plentiful. The sun has finally come out, and it is time to go hunting. Your clan is just waking up from a good nights sleep to the bright new day and you must now make the announcement and lead the hunting party to retrieve food for everyone. You have already decided to bring Uaithne and Saraid and to ask your lovely Riona to stay back to take care of her mother Sithmaith. You know your noble huntress will not be happy about being asked to stay behind, but you must convince her. This will also be Saraid's second hunting trip, after her unfortunate run in with a rather angered mule deer, so you expect to need to convince her to come along. As you mount the large root system reaching out from the Banba tree, your small clan's eyes raise up to your face, all wondering who shall be assigned to what on this beautiful day.

Which Character You're Trying For: King Niall

Your Response: (Since you want it short, I am cutting down his Speech.)

"...And let the wonderfull Goddess Andraste give us Victory and much food on our hunt." Niall finished his short speech. The small clan added to his last phrase with a small, but worthy cheer. Only few, Niall noticed, were not totaly pleased with his hunting party choices. Riona was sceptical, and felt slightly unwanted, but knew that she was not needed at the hunt that day. He convinced her to stay with her mother. Saraid seemed to be a bit skidish, Niall reasured her that the hunt would be easy that day. At least to his hopes, they would. Uaithne was willing to go without pleading.
"We will leave on the hunt in just a while. Those who are staying here, I thank you for listening to my ramblings," Niall chuckled, in his sweetly simple way. "Uaithne and Saraid, stay here and we will go off momentarily." He finished, and as his clan drifted off back to their lives, Niall jumped down off of the entertwining roots of the Banba tree to the grass, the bracelett that hooked above his right paw made a hollow jingle.
Niall's soft grey spot on his back seemed to ach. He was getting older, not so old, just older. His years where many, and he knew what he knew, but soner or later, (hopefuly later) he would be truely old. For now, he was just an older adult, and he was feeling it. His children prooved it.
He suddenly felt a wave of sadness come over him as his mind turned to his children. The rightful heir, his oldest son, has been missing. Oh! How this frustrated and saddened him. Of course, he had his daughter Saraid as the heir for now, lest his son does come back to him...
But now was the hunt. The thought drew his mind back to the present. And as the last of the clan made their way back to whatever it was they were doing, Niall made a short sigh before turning to his hunting charges.
"Now," he started, smiling sweetly. "Are you both ready to hunt?" They consented their readiness and he smiled again. The king nodded. "Well, lets not keep our clan's bellies rumbling! Come, come."
King Niall turned again, and with a quick call that signaled their departure, he read his small hunting party away...

((Will finish later.. -claims the first entry-))

Which Character You're Trying For: Princess Saraid
Your Response:

The warm weather pressed against Saraid's pelt as she yawned under the broad shade of the Banba tree. Her mind was all ready working at full speed as she looked over to her father, just a few feet off. How was she supposed to get away from him? Her right ear flicked back as she thought, and, suddenly, with a grin, she got to her paws. "Father," she said shortly, all ready pacing a few steps back, "I think I see one of the scouts over there. Might I join him?" She hoped desperately that King Niall would not notice, and she surpressed a wince as he looked about, son asking her what scout was about. With a fake grin, she replied, "the one behind the bush, silly!" and with that, she was darting off through the trees, hearing her father's exasperated sigh from behind her. At least he was not pursuing her, an added bonus. Perhaps the heat was getting to him too.

When she got a good few yards away from the Banba tree, she sniffed about, ears perked atop her head as she searched for signs of that strange male that the last scout patrol had scented. Her green eyes narrowed as she picked up a scent, and with a grim smile, began to track the creature. Though her skills were terrible as a tracker, she not having been hunting much since she acquired the limp that still surfaced at time, she knew that soon she would be back on track; and that meant that she could hone her skills more than. However, Saraid would have to be content with her mediocre skills for the time being. She padded, sometimes with a slight limp, after the scent, though soon she found herself following her tracks for what seemed to be the second or third time, and found, to her dismay, that the trail lead in circles.

She snorted at that, and with a last flick of her tail, trotted off towards the Banba tree and back to her father. It seemed that her wayward brother might not have gotten himself killed, but he did seem to have gotten a few nocks to the head. After all, what normal-minded Saighneian would walk around in circles? She let a grin slip across her face as she settled into her spot in the shade once more. Her father had doze off, and she readied to do the same, though not before looking around the plains once more. Her brother may be alive, but he better not show himself, for she would be ready to defend her rightful position as heir, and she was sure that she could win any fight, regardless of her limp. And with that thought in mind, as well as not a worry in the world about her long-lost brother coming back, she slipped off into a peaceful sleep, content with her work that day.
