-x-Vennigan Coursers-x-Cheetah Tribe-x-Now Recruiting

[Deino909]

MOVED because the previous thread ran out of character space for members >.> Members page will now be divided up to avoid future conflict like this.

Welcome. We are the Vennigan Coursers, a clan of cheetahs named for our first leader and founder, Vennigan. We are neither good nor evil, but shades of grey, and we welcome a variety of personalities--but one rule remains the same: We are all cheetahs, pureblooded, through-and-through. Never forget this!


Theme song? Yay? Nay?


-X-CURRENT PLOT:-X-

BURGEONING PLOT: Tensions have arisen since the confrontation with the Children. War between the factions is a definite possibility as of yet.

-X-PREVIOUS ROLEPLAY: 3/26/11-X-


Vincent and Aazzi after the proposal. 'Dawwwww.

Stiletto called a meeting, and organized a new way of command: His unit is compromised of him and the two captains. The others are each combat rank, lead by a Lead Striker, Point Scout and Top Courser. In other news, two proposals went down, with Kueni and Raziel now a mated couple, as well as Vincent and Aazzi. Congratulate them, everybody! Also, Hanu was made the Mini-Captain, or Cub Captain. Huzzah! Now I have to add like 4 more ranks. T.T

BATTLEGROUND MAPS

All instructions included with the .zip file.

1. Witch Heights: A sloping valley leading down from two 'bases' that include chokepoints and ridges along the edge of the valley. Also, two passageways to be used for obvious amounts of sneakiness and ambushes.

2. Proving Ground: An arena-type map, complete with lava and 'stands'. Used for trials and duels only.

MISCELLANEOUS MAPS

1. Titans' Glade: A sanctuary map. The tribe can shelter here if they are driven from their territory. It contains an ancient shrine and sweet, crisp, lively ponds, full of equally delicious fish. Of course, while it was sacred ground for a race long past, that doesn't mean anything will stop you from spilling blood into its revered waters....

GENERAL RULES:

1.) Be respectful in out-of-context. If your character is an arse by nature, they can be just that in the RP--but remember, that doesn't mean we can't all be friends in OOC.

2.) Don't be stupid. Don't powerplay, godmod, or autohit. If you don't know what these are, ask around.

3.) Swearing is allowed in both IC and OOC, but don't be obnoxious. Also, absolutely NO racial slurs on ANY occasion. I WILL remove you.

4.)IMPORTANT: SATURDAYS are the OFFICIAL roleplay days, you are required to check in at least every Saturday. Recommended times are 5PM-9PM, Eastern Standard Time, so put that into your own zone and let me know if it's agreeable. Saturdays are also activity checks, if you miss three, you will receive a PM warning. After 24 hours, your character will be removed and a notice posted at the bottom of this post listing removed members. Removals may re-apply within one week, but after that, I will erase that history and you will be forgotten from in-context.

5.) Follow these rules, and most importantly, have fun.


VENNIGAN'S RULES (in his exact words XD):

1.) Obey the leader. They are there for a reason, and they got there for a reason. Chances are they know better than a few of you.

2.) If you've friends in other places, that's fine. If you've got [censored] in other places, that's NOT fine. Mate within the group, folks!

3.) We're a neutral establishment. We'll take in any cheetah with any set of ideals or motives. However, if you're a sociopath or anything like that, all I ask is that you keep your morals in check as much as these rules require you to.

4.) As such, please avoid murdering or maiming your fellow Coursers. If you've got a bone to pick with somebody, I'm sure we can arrange a nice little chat, or a non-lethal duel.

5.) Betrayal and treason are punishable by banishment or death, depending on what mood your leader's in, I suppose. Bottom line, DON'T do it.

6.) Don't be stupid.


RANKS:

LEADER. The leader is self-explanatory. They have absolute power in the group, and handle all diplomacy and orders.

HEIR. When the leader dies and passes their position, usually, one of their progeny takes over--typically the oldest child. If the leader had no children, one of the captains must take the leadership.

CAPTAIN. The captains are second-in-command. They are the elite in both battle prowess and sensibility. There are only two of them at a time. When the leader is not around, they handle all of his or her duties, and if the leader dies without having an heir, one of them takes over leadership.

HERBALIST. The healer of the group. They work with herbal remedies and techniques to fix up the wounded or sick.

COURSER. The fighters of the group. While still wiry and swift, they are strongly built by cheetah standards, and specialize in strafing past enemies while tearing at their sides with fangs or their non-retractable claws.

TOP COURSER. The top courser takes orders directly from the leader in how to operate their unit--the entire courser rank--in a battle. Introduced by Stiletto Torre as a means for automatizing strategies in war, along with the other combat rank leaders.

SCOUT. Scouts are both hunters, messengers, and spies. They are stealthy, the fastest, and silent. They are often the smallest as well.

POINT SCOUT. The point scout leads scouting parties and commands hunting expeditions, often knowing the lay of the land and how to use it very well.

STRIKER. Strikers are assassins. They are trained in quick, silent deathblows. There is no open combat with them. They receive orders directly from the leader, or from the captains through the leader. They tend to be larger than scouts, but smaller than coursers.

LEAD STRIKER. The lead striker can flawlessly coordinate their underlings--the other strikers--in cooperative assassination assignments of stealth wars. It takes a lot of concentration, skill, precision, and experience, along with a level head.

TRAINEE. The cubs who reach 12 months of age begin their training for a rank of their choice, under mentorship of one of that rank.

CUB. The future generation. These are cheetahs below 12 months of age. Enjoy your innocent youth while you can.

MINI CAPTAIN. A fun little rank created by the leader Stiletto Torre as a means for certain younglings to feel better about themselves...think Cub Scouts!

MOTHERS. Female cheetahs move to this rank if they conceive children. After the cubs become trainees, the mothers move back to their original ranks.

ELDERS. The revered, long-lived cheetahs of the group achieve a position of immortal respect, long after they pass and leave us behind.


CURRICULUM(lolyes)

COURSERS: Coursers in training will focus mainly on balancing speed and power in their attacks, as well as lunges, charges, skullbashes, strafing attacks(running past the enemy while slashing their sides), and other hit-and-run techniques.

SCOUTS: Scouts in training learn to balance speed and endurance. They must be able to cover long distances at a good pace while also being able to keep it up for hours or days at a time. Scouts also must learn minor stealth and deathblow skills as they are the hunters of the tribe.

STRIKERS: Strikers in training learn to emphasize power and stealth. They will learn a variety of deathblows for a variety of situations, including neck slashes, neck bites, spinal strikes, throat strikes, death-from-above, etc., and how to creep up on any foe to use them.

Members who show significant skills in leadership, wisdom, and reliability may earn promotions to Captain or Leader.

NOTES ON COURSER CUSTOMS:

The Vennigan Coursers have several customs to their little culture.

To begin with, the coming of autumn in the valley is often celebrated with lots of 'sport' hunting as well as friendly sparring matches, races and agility contests(of course! |D) and exchanging of unique skills and tricks that members may have picked up throughout their life.

Also, when a trainee is deemed ready by their mentor and the leader, the mentor gives their pupil an "initiation" trial, typically one of great difficulty:

-Coursers typically have full-strength sparring matches with their trainees, with no restrictions except not to severely wound or kill the other cheetah.

-Scouts give their students the task of a solo hunt of larger prey or a test of speed, agility, and trickery, usually gathering some courser volunteers to hunt after the trainee for one day, and the trainee must outrun and outwit their pursuers to pass.

-Striker trials are similar to scouts, except they take on a more twisted cat-and-mouse rule. Mentor and student spend on night out in the valley, with both trying to spring the other in a contest of stealth and precision and cunning. To pass, the student must catch their mentor and subdue them (nonlethally, of course!) before the night is over.

A trainee who successfully completes their initiation trial will be recognized the next day as a full rank and respected member of the Vennigan Coursers!

CUSTOMIZATION NOTES:
We accept all breeds/skins of cheetah and all color morphs. This is a list of acceptable customizations:

BREEDS/SKINS: Asiatic Cheetah, King Cheetah, Saharan Cheetah

COLOR MORPHS: Tan, Pale Gold, Ruddy (reddish) Tan, Pale Brown, Maltese (pale blue-gray), Ghost (white, but not albino--still has spots!), etc etc.

Basically, as long as there's no neon colors or purple/green/etc. cheetahs, I'm cool with it. We are semi-realistic. There are no restrictions on eye color, by the way. Also keep in mind that cheetahs are characterized by slim bodies, short muzzles, and long tails.

TERRITORY:

The Vennigan Coursers live in a valley with a river cutting through it. Lush tropical savannah grows for quite a distance on either side of the river, but in the farthest reaches of the valley, the land is barren and rocky. This is where traitors are banished. It is forbidden to enter this part. In between the lush and the barren is the flat prairie, with short, dense grass, but no trees, unlike the lush tallgrass part. The territory (and future map!) is called Vennigan Valley.

~~~~~~~~~LEADER:~~~~~~~~~


Name: Stiletto Torre (Adoptive older brother of Vincent)
Gender: Male
Parents: Marvin Torre X Carith Torre
Mate: None
Offspring: None
Personality: Stiletto (nickname Stil) is cool and calculating like his adopted little brother, but far more ruthless, and unafraid to take the brutal way out. Stil operates heavily on logic and reasoning and justified answers, which played a part in achieving such a lofty rank as Leader at such a young age--he's only around 3 years old in human years. Stiletto is crafty, with a strong sense of vengeance and justice. Being the biological son of Marvin and Carithe Torre, Stiletto took the addition of the wayward Vincent comparably well--he loftily ignored his new sibling except for when needed to. Perhaps he truly doesn't care for his little brother. Perhaps there is a spike of jealousy here. Who knows?

He's spiritually and physically strong, despite of his dark past, and not one you want to mess with, especially with his friends. He loves to fight, but has a soft spot with small cubs and will occasionally play. He's very protective of those in charge and would make a great Captain or Leader someday.

Personality: Quiet though never antisocial, Adani tends to keep her voice hushed and head down. Although she enjoys the company of others, she prefers to listen than to speak. She is hard working and does what she is asked with enthusiasm and always performs to the best of her ability, although the energy she puts into tasks have been known to backfire and she is prone to making a fool of herself whilst aiming to impress. She is certainly not a fighter at heart and will only strike in self defense, and even then she often needs poking and prodding until she actually lashes out. Most often than not seen with a smile on her face, she often tends to be in good spirits although she is very prone to doubting her own abilities.

She tends to be quiet and keeps to herself, though when she does form a bond with someone she is unendingly loyal. Her gentle mentality means that she would make a poor fighter, but her love for helping people means she would be excellent in any sort of helping role.

Personality: Ajia is just as her name describes. Swift and cunning. This cheetah is around 2 human years. She tends to think over things before acting, and sometimes argues too much on a topic. She stays quiet usually, but when she feels needed, she speaks up. Ajia has a knack for remembering things, and prefers to stay by herself than crowd in a large group of unknown people. She's shy, but once you get to know her she warms up quickly. Loves to tease lightly. Generally in a good mood, it takes a bunch to bring her spirits down.

Personality: A thickly-built larger male, Aganju often compares himself to thunder but never lightning. He's got a deep, loud voice and noticeable way about him - he likes to make his points clearly known. Aganju will defend the weak, but at the same time he lets others know when they're - in his opinion - being foolish. As social as he is, he's a mysterious figure - he follows orders and never fails to get a job done, though he may change the way it is done.

Personality: Masculine, tough, headstrong but understanding. She's boyish, and in no ways feminine-- she's willing to get down and dirty, and to have fun. Taiko's also quite the joker, and she loves making sly, witty remarks in bad situations. She's also got a potty mouth, so watch out. Taiko, at first, wanted to be a striker, but her understanding inner nature caused her to become a Courser instead. She loves her position, but isn't the most obedient creature in the Courser rank.

Personality: Casei is a quiet feline. Well, unless somebody talks to her, of course. Definately loud when she wants to be, though she isn't one to start a conversation. She's extremly clever and smart. Tough, she takes control of situations when she needs to. She takes to being the silent one, always trailing at the back of the tribe. She comes off as a bit of a "too cool to care" gal, seeing as somebody could shout insults to her face and all she would do is arch an eyebrow at them. She's also a tomboy, certainly not afraid to get her fur dirty. Whether it be dirty with mud, or blood. She's also a tad smaller than other cheetahs. Her tail is just a bit longer, though, so she has very good balance. She takes pride in her smaller frame. She's compact, powerful, sarcastic, manipulative, mysterious, and agile all rolled into one cheetah.

She had always enjoyed working with younger Cheetahs, wishing to have had cubs before her mate had died from a pride of vicious lions. She has a leader-like attitude and when her anger gets pumping, she could take on any fight.

He spends most nights in the den by lone pond most nights because he feels uncomfortable around such a large number of cats.

Name: Vincent Torre
Gender: Male
Parents: Unknown, he is a runaway (adopted upon joining)

Offspring: None
Personality: Vincent is usually quiet, calculating, and gives an outer image of naivete, catching many people off guard. Often he can act quite child-like, but can turn deadly serious whenever the need arises--and as a striker, that is his forte. Vincent has nicknames--Vince, Vinny, Vin--but he doesn't mind being called by them. He's quite mellow.. usually. His surname, Torre, belongs to that of the Torre family that adopted him when he joined as a yearling. They are known to be skilled strikers and scouts, and the oldest ancestor protected Vennigan in founding the tribe. Recently, Vincent was caught by two of the Children while spying, and they together overpowered him and tortured him with the heat of the lava in the Proving Ground arena--charring his left eye out and burning the fur and flesh around that eye.

Personality: Lazy, outgoing and a bit of a flirt, it would be hard to believe that this male can stay on task. Although he means no harm, it is a habit of his to playfully hit on the majority of females that he runs into, which usually ends up unsuccessful but leaves him laughing nonetheless. Either way, he means no disrespect and always backs off if he can tell that the other party is getting too upset. He loves to joke around and spend the days lazing beneath the sun, and is an outgoing character whom will try to befriend anyone that he meets. However, he takes his rank seriously and will never refuse any job or task handed to him.

Other than that, she is usually pretty content where ever she is, unless there is a reason for her not to be. Surakai is very stealthy, following her old family name, "Thleats" which spells, "Stealth" backwards. When the moment is serious beyond her belief, Surakai will follow orders without question. She is unwaveringly loyal, as she owes the tribe big-time for taking her in as one of their own.

Name: Mheetu
Gender: Male
Parents: Mishu and Mhekai (NPC)
Mate: N/A
Offspring: N/A
Personality: Mheetu was an overly friendly cub who found himself reprimanded more than most. His puckish nature led him on quite a few adventures as well as landed him in some odd predicaments. The more recent of these adventures has forced a change in his childish nature. Leading his siblings random exploration left him an only child. His mother grieves heavily and his father has no words for him. While he still forces a smile for the world, he watches it in a detatched manner. He has the makings of a true leader and even at his young age he understands the responsibility that comes with a position. He has a habbit of thinking outside the box to achieve his goals and at the same time he is still learning to think things through.

Name: Kai Nthanda
Gender: Male
Parents: Mother ~ Rosabella Saga (NPC, Missing) // Father ~ Unknown
Mate: None
Offspring: None
Personality: In general he is mostly just a kindhearted male, this easily makes him rather laid-back and carefree. Being pretty much calm and relaxed whenever there isn't much going on, with not being much for getting angry often, it's in his nature to be as kind and polite as possible. His rather lighthearted disposition makes it rather easy for him to get along with others, he even tries to be helpful with various things. With his young age, he can be rather naive at times, but is also enjoys having fun over taking every little thing seriously. Deeming it important to care for friends and family above all else, it's questionable if his willingness to protect others important to him makes him courageous or just foolish, as it may even call for taking action before really thinking things through...

Personality: Amayah is shy and quiet. She will never speak unless spoken to, or unless she has to. Otherwise, shes very cunning. She doesn't like taking the short way, she likes to solve problems to the solution in a fun matter. She strangely loves war, and loves battling. Amayah doesn't like the morning, it hurts her eyes, so she usually gets out mostly at night, and is asleep during the day. When she speaks, she has a clear, and beautiful tone, but she says she hates it... Amayah is usually lonely, but she doesn't care.

Personality: Kweli is the easy-going, quiet type; however, this dosn't mean she is the shy (ill hide in a bush if spoken too) type but simply one who enjoys not speaking when it is not needed. She loves to feel at peace, feeling nature surround her, running and feeling earth on her paws.  Her greatest joy is to be a helper, a wolf to be comforting, understanding, and loyal. When set on a task she will fullfil it with determination making sure it is done, and done correctly.  She has a wild side as well, and cannot help but to snarl and hissing at the wind with delight on a run.

Personality: He's a cocky, fun-loving cheetah, however still has a hard time expressing his foolish-ness. He was kidnapped by the Children of the Raith Sidhe as a young cub, and grew up in their ranks-- learning off bloodshed, destruction, and even murdering a prisoner on his own. However, Stiletto gave him an opportunity to release his burdens, and he's now becoming more and more purified by the day. He can also be emotional, but his tough exterior forces him to keep it all in.

I'm not sure how big i should be to be 12 months old though) sometimes intimidating, Soul enjoys a good fight, and is great at defense. he has never hunted but he is sure he will be excellent at it. this young cheetah can be mysterious and withdrawn sometimes, but other moments loves being the center of attention!  he has a soft spot for cubs and loves exploring.

Needless to say, she escaped and found her way into the Valley. She cries about her family, but even at her young age has too much pride to let anyone see her tears.

Offspring: None.
Personality: Usiku is generally shy around new people, but is a very outgoing cub regardless of his impairment from the moment he becomes comfortable. Said impairment being the fact that he was born without sight. However, this is not a hindrance, as from birth his ears and nose have adapted to the loss of a sense. He can hear further than most normal cheetah without trained ears and is a talented tracker. He does tend to cling to older cheetahs, despite knowing his own way around the territory, as a form of comfort, and there are times when he can appear withdrawn. However, he is mostly a feisty youngster if not a little quiet.

Tumaini usaully can interpret what others around her are feeling because of that. Like many other cubs, Tumaini is a very curious and playful cub, which sometimes leads to trouble.
