Please do not apply for these positions if you aren't willing to devote time to this roleplay. I can't tell you how many leaders I've had drop out on me; and honestly, it gets a mixture of annoying and ego-stomping going.
If you feel you're interested, or would like to talk to me about filling position, PM me with a message detailing that of a regular applicant or post here, and be sure to include the following:

RP Example:- How active you tend to be.
- Prior leading experience, if any.
- Timezone.
- Any other information you feel would sway me to choose you.
Please note for the above; these positions were already filled in the past, and so the territory for your group is predetermined, but I assure you they are both detailed enough to suit any. (If absolutely necessary, I can always update the map, though I'd prefer not to have to do so again for a while unless it's a complete overall like planned.)
Dormin's Tribe
This tribe of cheetahs are still intact with Dormin, the head-god of the lands. These cheetahs follow a strict code set forth hundreds of years ago by humans. They believe in sacrifice to Dormin, wear ornamental crosses to show servitude and ranking, and are in strict conflict with any other tribes or outsiders that are not followers of Dormin's law and rule. With the gates now opened, the cheetah tribe is in a fit of rage, and aims to either convert or rid the lands of the lions.
The tribe currently resides in Cenobia City, their ranks nestled into the long vacant city. The city is secluded, and most cheetahs never venture further than Dormin's shrine, excluding a select few who have orders to keep an eye on the other species. For now, the cheetahs are watching the lions, waiting for the moment to strike. The cheetahs current aim is to convert the lions and form an alliance, to drive away the hyenas, their long standing enemies.
In the jungles, tension is brewing with yet another group, The Felid's Ordinem. The compilation of felines, who follow no set religion are considered a threat to all the cheetahs believe in. As of now, the cheetahs have said or done nothing about this, but the fragile peace can only last so long. To the cheetahs, having a 'tribe' composed of one or more species is an act of blasphemy against Dormin and all of his children. Religious as ever, the tribes code is reinforced day and night, with brutal consequence for those who disobey, and great reward for those who follow.T r i b a l R a n k i n g s ( A l l O p e n )
Chieftain
The current leader of the tribe, who is commander of both the religious and non-religious sides of the tribe. The Chieftain keeps order within the tribe, and protects it from outside forces. The Chieftain is either the direct descendant of the previous Chieftain, or chosen through ceremony by the High Priest and Priestess. The Chieftain is considered a projection of Dormin himself, and to cross them is considered the most blasphemous of acts.
N/A
High Priest

N/A
Bishops
Seasoned religious cheetahs who have proved their worth in the eyes of the Chieftain are promoted to Bishops. Bishops are in-charge of spreading religious virtues throughout the lands, to all other species and tribes. Bishops also are next in
line to become the High Priest or Priestess. The Bishops are the trusted confidants in the Chieftain, high-raking enough to be trusted, but still not high enough to consider usurping the Chieftains authority or will.
N/A
Priests
The average adult religious cheetahs. The Priests range in age and gender, and some are more respected than others. The priests are the ones who run almost all of the rituals of the tribe under the guidance of the High Priest and Priestess. Some of their everyday tasks include assisting the sick, teaching the cubs, learning from the elders, and maintaining the various shrines.

apprentice under a Bishop for another few months before they are considered for graduation.

N/A
Head Hunters
The swiftest and most agile cheetahs within the tribe. The Head Hunters are a select few cheetahs who have shown their worth as hunters through speed or skill.

N/A
Tribescats
The average member of the tribe. Tribescats are responsible for watching cubs, scouting, hunting, defending, and fighting. Being a Tribescat is tiresome work, and only those who excel are given promotions. Older and more experienced Tribescats are higher in rank than younger and newer Tribescats.
N/A
Recruits
Juvenile cheetahs who are training to become Tribescats. Recruits start by learning the basics of hunting, and than move on to learning fighting and scouting. After a couple of months, the Tribescat who is training the Recruit may pass him or her onto a Head Hunter or Guardian for specialized training, if they show aptitude in a certain area.
N/A
Cubs
