Landscape:
(http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/121/c/8/mo__luka_by_cortair-d4y5pvf.png)
Welcome to the beautiful jungle of Mo'Luka! Here there lives Tiger Kind, Bat Kind, and Wolf Kind.
(http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/121/c/f/sepe__s_reach_by_cortair-d4y5rc3.png)
This is the Bat Cave which rests atop of Sepe's Reach, a popular place to go diving in the jungle.
(http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/121/0/8/lake_luka_by_cortair-d4y5ni1.png)
And right beside Sepe's Reach and the Kathezon Mountain Range is Lake Luka, the source of water for the entire jungle and one of the favorite lounging spots of Tiger Kind.
(http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/120/5/a/beach_log_by_cortair-d4y5e48.png)
This is the perfect hiding place known as the Beach Log. It is here that cubs, pups, and bats alike, as well as other prey animals, can escape the wrath of giant predators, primarily Tiger Kind. It is also a good place to lounge on and has a lovely view of the lake.
(http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/121/b/d/hungry_plant_stump_by_cortair-d4y5mjf.png)
A spot not too far from Beach Log, but one that is well known by all parents, for while those little plants are harmless to most adults, it is dangerous to the little ones.
(http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/121/c/c/divine_court_by_cortair-d4y5kqo.png)
The Divine Court, this is the meeting place of Tiger Kind. Fights are held here, decisions are made, and the occasional sun bath all take place here. This is one place that Wolf Kind will not tread, as their scent would only enrage the tigers and trigger a conflict.
(http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/121/c/d/coward__s_war_monument_by_cortair-d4y5kp0.png)
During the war between Tigers and Wolves, it is said that Nika pushed upwards a stone from beneath the soil to boost the morale of her creations, and that Luka blessed it with flowers when the war ended. Tiger Kind made this their monument of the war, naming it from their point of view and forever representing the cowardice of Bat Kind.
(http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/121/7/a/brainflower_tree_by_cortair-d4y5hyp.png)
Another place where little ones are forbidden, for it is surrounded by the infamous Brainflower, a plant that merely stuns a full adult, but poisons cubs, pups, and smaller bats.
(http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/121/2/6/noble_war_monument_by_cortair-d4y5r10.png)
Before the Noble War begun, Sepe blew over several trees and crushed mother's dens as an enraged response to Nika killing off a whole bunch of prey animals in Mo'Deke. The Wolves and Bats named this their monument for the Noble War on the grounds that Tiger Kind got to experience the great loss of children that they inflicted upon Wolf Kind for so long.
(http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/121/c/4/shrine_luka_by_cortair-d4y5rz3.png)
The Shrine of Luka, a stone structure that has been standing since the days of creation. Many make pilgrimages here to speak with Luka for advice, good health, or just peace.
(http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/121/2/1/wolf_den_by_cortair-d4y5sgh.png)
The Wolf's den, the home to Wolf Kind and some hybrids descended from Dog Kind. Behind the cave is the Garden, where pups are kept safe and Wolf Kind generally spends their day when not otherwise occupied.
(http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/121/1/8/mo__deke_by_cortair-d4y5hu9.png)
Welcome to the vast savanna of Mo'Deke, a place that can be cruel and unforgiving at times, and the setting of many, many wars. It is here that most of Riheza lives and dies.
(http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/121/0/6/lake_riheza_by_cortair-d4y5nj9.png)
Lake Riheza is by far the largest body of water in Mo'Deke, as well as the larger of the two lakes. It is around this area that most of the Kinds in the savanna drink or hunt, as the prey animals gather around here as well.
(http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/121/8/7/kathezon_mountain_range_by_cortair-d4y5ngm.png)
The Kathezon Mountain Range, it was by Deke's hands that these mounds rose up from the soil, and it was by Nika's heat that it hardened into stone. It is this feature that divides the two areas, while also housing the two creator gods themselves.
(http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/121/a/2/kathezon_cliffs_by_cortair-d4y5nf6.png)
Kathezon Cliffs, the not so beloved home of Dog Kind with a vast, barren, plane between it and the water far to the north.

(http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/121/9/1/hyena__s_bank_by_cortair-d4y5n6z.png)
Hyena's Bank, the envy of Dog Kind and home to the hyenas. Being close to the water, food is bountiful and one does not have to go far to get a drink. This is, however, a popular place amongst crocodiles.
(http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/121/4/9/twin_trees_by_cortair-d4y5sf8.png)
Twin Trees is home to those of Cheetah Kind who are "free", providing shade and cover for cheetahs out in the barren savanna. It also has the good fortune of being close to Nika's Refuge, a perfect place to hide from intense heat or storms.
(http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/121/6/9/nika__s_refuge_by_cortair-d4y5qim.png)
Nika's Refuge is a place revered by all of Mo'Deke, feline and canine, as a much needed shelter when things get unbearable. It is also a place of peace, it being an unspoken rule that no one taking refuge there may fight each other, no matter their Kind or allegiance.
(http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/121/6/b/shrine_deke_by_cortair-d4y5ry1.png)
The twin of the stone structure found in Mo'Luka, this place is considered sacred by Hyena Kind as it is here that they were able to recover before retaking their land. This shrine of Deke has stood since the dawn of creation.
(http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/121/0/b/lion__s_den_by_cortair-d4y5pfk.png)
The largest territory in Riheza, the Lion's Den is home to the first creations of Nika as well as their servant cheetahs, who are smaller than their cousins at Twin Trees and far more submissive.

Title: Natoka Character Guide
Post by: Lorris on May 08, 2012, 05:03:48 pm
Username: MorlyDrac
Name: Meghan
Age: 20
Experience: I have been role-playing since I was fourteen, starting on a game called Sherwood Dungeon. From there I went on to private rping with friends, eventually evolving better methods and ways of role-playing. I have also been an on and off player of Furcadia in one particular group on there known as Silverion Island. I have become rather adept at world-building, and have learned how to come up with characters without much pre-planning, although the results aren't always the best I admit. This will be my first attempt at trying to run my own rping group, so I have my fingers crossed in the hopes that it goes well!
Character Name: Natoka (Strongest of tiger kind.)
Age: Adult
Kind: Tiger
Character: (http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/129/5/1/natoka2_by_cortair-d4z2suw.png)
Bio: Natoka was the dominant cub of his litter and naturally was the first to leave his mother's side. He is a most vicious predator, notoriously known for the blazing trail of flames he can leave behind when enraged. None is sure what act of the gods gave him this ability, but it is Natoka's claim that he was blessed with the power after slaying a wandering wolf. Because of this power and his equally frightening rage, Natoka has become infamously known in Riheza as the Divine Fury. He is one of many who desires another Great War, believing that dominion over all of Riheza will be given to the victors. The arrogance of the Divine Fury knows no bounds, he truly believes himself to be destined for greatness above all others.
Relations: Natoka has no official relations as of now, but I will be willing to have some young adult children, just note that they may not have the best of relationships with him considering how tigers are in real life.
History: Once, rough winds struck Mo'Luka and several trees were blown over. As a result, several tiger dens were destroyed, killing both cubs and their mothers alike. The bats fled to the Wolf's Den and the Coward's/Noble War begun.
Title: Wandering Kemzi App

Character Name: Wandering Kemzi
Age: Elder
Kind: Lion (Nomad)
Character: (http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/129/2/4/wandering_kemzi2_by_cortair-d4z2zdr.png)
Bio: Kemzi was once a mother of three cubs living in the Lion's Den with the rest of the pride, just a young mother with a pleasant attitude. She was on a hunt with some of her companions when a strange scent pulled her away from the group towards some overgrowth, where she tripped and fell into a pit that was covered up by the foliage. The fall knocked her out for at least an hour, when she awoke to find herself in a shallow pool of water surrounded by fog. It did not take long for her to notice that she had changed, her fur much paler as well as some odd markings on her face. The pride was very wary about this change, and rumors began to go around that she had become cursed by Goda. Not wanting her children to suffer from her bad reputation, Kemzi exiled herself from the den and became a nomad. She is now known throughout Mo'Deke as Wandering Kemzi, respected and admired by many as an elder and a storyteller. She is also still feared, despite her kindness and wisdom.
Relations: Kemzi has three adult children living in the Lion's Den, two males and a female, make sure to put it in your app if you wish to be one of them.
History: A dam of rocks had formed in the part of the river that fed into the Hyena's territory, resulting in a drought. Once the dam was taken down, the Godani went to confront the Patriarch of the Lions and demand an explanation from Nika. This resulted in a confrontation between the two and the hyena barely escaped with her life, both declared war and the First War started, sparking immense hatred between the two Kinds that has lasted to this very day.

Username: Zanit
Name: Zanit Branish (not really, but chances are you'll recognize that if you know me)
Age: 17
Experience: I've done quite a few private Rp's on the side. I started role playing around the age of 10 or 11. I've been role playing almost every day as of late. I've attempted group RP's but could never really get into them. This one in particular has captured my interest, but since I'm new to large groups, give me some slack if I'm a bit sloppy to start with.  :P
Character Name: Lokna
Age: Young Adult
Kind: Cheetah Kind
Character: (http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/121/4/f/lokna2_by_cortair-d4y5prd.png)
Bio: Lokna was average for a cheetah of the Twin Trees, but after an accident that occurred three years ago in the mountains, his appearance changed drastically, also giving him a new found ability.
Relations: Both his parents are dead, but he has a younger brother who lives with him at the twin trees. (If you would like to rp as my character's younger brother, message me for details)
History: A landslide occurred above the dog kind cliffs three years ago.
Also a severe thunderstorm damages the twin trees, which is the cheetah territory. It almost causes a wild fire in the plains.

Relations: His parents died when he was young. He's an only child.
History: Dog kind is said to be a variation of Hyena kind with different markings.
Hyenas enter the lion's den demanding Nika to answer them. The alpha female of the hyenas and the king of the lion pride fight. The hyena barely leaves with her life.

Username: Iaru (Ee-ar-oo)
Age: 22
Experience: I've been into roleplaying for about ten years now, give or take a few. I got my start on the now primitive Starcraft Brood War roleplaying custom games. It was all so strange and exciting back then. To weave characters and entire civilizations in and out of existence in the space of a few hours. Since those early days, I've sampled MUDs, MMOs, MSN, and of course DnD true and proper. I've been at this for a long time now; I have changed in taste, improved in theory, and probably in craft.
Character Name: Lycaon
Age: Adult
Kind: Wild Dog
Character: (http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/121/e/f/lycaon_by_cortair-d4y5pta.png)
Bio: Despite being something of a scoundrel, and a vicious trickster; the current male leader of Riheza's Dog Kind holds control of his pack through cunning, sensibility, and his promises of one day retaking the bank. To those who do not know him closely, he might easily be thought of as lazy; Rarely seen venturing beyond the Kathezon Cliffs, preferring to lounge at home, gnawing bones cunning, and spending 'quality' time with his mate. He is however always keeping both ears to the wind for the comings and goings of the other Kinds; in particular Goda's supposed beloved firstborn, the Hyenas. In the face all his subtleties though, he is very vocal about his belief that his Kind are the final, 'perfected' creation of Goda and that Hyena's were a 'practice try'.
Relations: Mated to the Alpha Female, has a couple litters of pups. Somewhere. (To those looking to join, you are free to be one of my sons/daughters. Just be sure to run it by me first.
History: Members of Dog Kind undertook great hardships to travel and visit the runestone of Goda, their creator. At first, welcomed by Hyena Kind to stay in their lands as guests. But as more and more arrived, the Hyena's feared the growing adoration would outshine that of the 'firstborn', and their growing tensions snapped and they attacked those they'd invited into their lands. Outraged that the Hyenas would try and keep them from their God, Dog Kind banded together and drove the marauding Hyenas away under the deadly snap of the jaws Goda gave them. After a full day of fighting, the bank, and all that is plenty is claimed by Dog Kind.
