[Private] Pride before Fall [Amadeus]

Pride before Fall [Amadeus]

Postby Kina » July 25th, 2011, 6:12 pm



Characters:
Tifu - Kina
Takua - Kina
Baya- Baya
Ayari - Baya

(Rest of the cast - PENDING)


Basic Plot:
Although living conditions are already difficult, what with lack of prey and water; making enemies only makes it even more so. While some thrive on conflict, others are doing their utmost to avoid it. And then there are those in the middle that are willing to fight for what they need just to live. But with prides having moved on from the now fragile valleys, it has become a rogue's land. Order and peace sometimes difficult to come by.

Especially when certain felines are contorting situations to their benefit.


Terrain and Places of Interest:
- Current Conditions (General):
The current conditions of this area are pretty bad due to drought, as plant life is withering and water sources are vanishing. As such, herds and other prey animals are starting to move on. The yellow grasses are increasingly brittle and turning into a flat brown, while those that have stayed are increasingly protective of their waterholes and now pathetically shallow streams.

- Terrain: Before the drought there used to be endless hills and valleys of greenery and even tree life, all of which surrounding the once lively plains. The lowest sections used to house a gentle river that was several lion lengths wide, the large stream flowing into a nearly forever fresh waterhole and continued to flow out the other side when it was full. Some rock-face and generally rocky terrain is easily apparent in the lower valleys, protruding from the hill-side to make a strikingly steep cliff-face.

- Places of Interest:
Plains
If they had a special name when prides lived in the area, it has since been forgotten. The centerpiece in the territory's lands, the windy plains had long attracted prey to their open quarters. Since the drought prey has become far and few between, although if one follows the occasional dents where streams were, it becomes clear why they were so full of life beforehand. On all sides of the plains, there are water sources, rocky outcrops that offer shade alongside trees, and streams that help protect it from outside threats. In the years past from the drought, however, trees have withered and the water has depleted.

Immediate valleys, hills, and the like
Be they dry valleys or entirely barren ravines, they are often riddled with holes that were once used as dens with various wildlife. They currently beget hyenas, but without rain nothing will live. The largest ravine is plain and bramble-dotted sandstone, rock-face on all sides. It seems to have once been used for something of interest, although the flat and shorter side that joins the plains meet a sharp incline on the side that faces them. A rather rocky outcrop the blends into the hill on the far side of the ravine juts out towards the plains over the quite possibly deadly drop.

Water Sources
Aside from a secreted and small spring of water hidden in the recognized rock structure as a true den, the most reliable source is the once large river that cuts through the far side of the plains and then the branch that snakes across the plains themselves. Although it is now a pitiful crevice in the dry grasses that one must climb down to reach water, little bits trickle into what's left of the main waterhole in the center of the plains. When it's full it flows down the rest of the shallower stream that comes out of the other side of the waterhole.

The Main Den
Although den-like structures and possible nests - small though they may be - dot the area, the largest den offers space for a pride. And even has enough water to regularly supply either one lion or two cubs. It's the best choice for those looking to settle in, even if it can be difficult to find on occasion unless someone knows what they're looking for.


Image
(The darker green sections are naturally hills and valleys, although I didn't show every single one with rock-face in them, and only did the main ravine in a separate color. But this is the basic set up. The gray circle with a water source inside is the location of the 'main den'.)

Wonderful O,O. A +++++ for you XD

You really want far with this. I like the basic outline, but all we need is an antagonist.

*Laughs and huggles.* Glad that you like it. ^^

And Takua is one of the antagonists, actually. He has this sense of self-entitlement that kind of gets him on Tifu's bad side in my first post, XD.

*Grins.* Well, we will need a second protagonist. Maybe you can add one in? (After all, it's more fun to drag things out a little in stories. :D)

I was thinking of bringing back an old character of mine, Ayari.
