Okay so i found this in my old, and i mean OLD, stories... it's almost been a year since i wrote this and i thought it would be cool to have an rp based off of what happens next
Bold = dialogueItalics = ThoughtIs usually how i do my posts, but if you have a way of doing it i'm sure everyone will pick up on it easily
Role Play is herePlot
------------------------------------------
It was a clear night, the stars lit up the sky brightly. Ushujaa walked alongside his older brother atop Pride Rock. When will the sun rise. He thought. He anticipated tomorrow to be a big celebration at the same time he worried.
With the sunrise, Ushujaa would be old enough to leave his pride. His older brother was the king of the lands they lived in and for his whole life, he had to live under his brother’s laws. At sunrise this would be no more. No longer would he have to abide by what his brother set in stone. No longer would he just be the king’s younger brother, living in the shadows cast before him. No, he would be able to be his own person.
Ushujaa knew this conversation would be filled with tensely strung words, he was worried for his brother’s reaction but it had to be done. Tomorrow would be the day he left, with his brother’s permission or not. As the two siblings reached the tip of the rock he looked at his brother when their eyes finally met, Ushujaa looked to the starry night. He was lost, looking to the kings of the past for guidance in how to start this difficult conversation. “Look Simba, I know you’re trying to protect me by keeping me here in the Pride Lands but I need to do what’s right for me, I need to go out and see the world for myself!”
Simba, looked to his younger brother, wishing they could at least keep eye contact. He knew this would be difficult. He did not want to let Ushujaa go, even though their bond was forged under strenuous circumstances, he had learned to love him. “ Listen Ushujaa, I know that with the rise of the great circle of life... You will be considered a cub no longer, and I can’t stop you from leaving these lands, as much as I'd like to.” He put his paw around Ushujaa’s shoulder and they both looked to the starry night together. “You know that he’s watching over us, and he always will be...” Simba paused for a moment, as a tear ran down his face. “Please, just promise me you’ll visit every once and a while.” He looked to the solid rock beneath his feet as the tears silently fell from his face.
Ushujaa put both his arms around his brother, tears falling from his eyes as well. “How could i not? I've got a lot to teach my little nephew.”
Simba let Ushujaa hold him tight for a moment, when they finally let go of each other they both laughed cheerfully and looked to the sun as it rose over the horizon. “Well, i think it’s time for me to hit the road.” Ushujaa looked back as he reached the bottom of Pride Rock, his eyes met with Simba’s one last time as if for a temporary goodbye. He knew he would return, but on his own terms. He was finally free, grown yet with still so much growing up to do...
The plot would take place as Ushujaa reaches the border of the pride lands where he meets his best friend Amini (Sworn Friend) she wants to travel with him, and we'll see where it goes from there for the most part he will be traveling to different places that border the pride lands. Since this is a casual RP i'm not going to say that every place has to make sense for Africa climates, so we can open up into a snowy area or anything else that comes to mind.
If anyone has suggestions you can either post them here or pm me
I am absolutely open to OC's because they are needed for the plot
Also we might go back to visit the Pridelands, if and when that happens i'll find people to play some of the cannon characters.
I figure i'll get Ushujaa and Amini to start, and travel depending on what OC's we get first, I think three is a good start but more are welcome!
