Just changing a couple of things about Kamau's appearance, nothing too dramatic.

Name:Adisa

Name meaning: The one who is Clear (Clear, lol get it XD)

Gender: male

Age:2-3

Personality: Is seen as a very timid and calm fella, also very scaredy, yet friendly with mostly everyone. Adisa acts as if he's afraid of anithing, he dislikes loud noises and the light. For his misfortune he lives in Africa, a very sunny place. He's also very secretive as he always resides on caves and dark places. He seems to like the stars and everything that makes the night beautiful.

How they feel about Dinah: He's very curious about her, he's never seen a dog like her, and feels both could understand eachother since both are different from the others.He seems to stalk her from the shadows when she's around the males (if she is ever around) and wishes to talk to her. She probably would find him nice yet very creepy.

If Dinah ever tells him about Nome, he would love to live there.

How they feel about Lion: More than loyalty, he's very grateful toward his brother, he believes that any other leader would kick him out for his uselesness, so he's loyal as he can be.

History: He was the the pup born with very light and clear fur, almost white. Even if he was unique, his white fur turned into a disadvantage as he suffered intolerance from strong sunlight, and he was born with a bad sight as well. He doesn't seem to be good at hunting and has a hard time getting to have a decent body, as he is always weak and malnourished. His body is very weak as he's always hunting small animals like rats or lizards, he tries to hunt at night, but he's afraid of hyenas. He's proven himself useless for pack life, and many seem to want him out as he's just "a useless mouth to feed". Still Lion accepts him as a member and he tries to do his best to please the pack, but he often fails.

Other: He's an albino, I checked markings on some albino animals and made them based on what I saw. His albinism also includes bad eyesighta and intolerance to the light. I though a character like him could be interesting in the pack.

hmm iwould like to enter i hope he isnt to plane if so tellme and i will ad a few moe spots

Name: BOIPELO
Name meaning: proud
Gender: male
Age: 3
Personality: Boipelo is one to judge, if he dosn't like the look of you he wont give you a chance, mostly indipendent even tho part of a family pack and likes to be alone in the shade thinking to himself. He isnt very social if your lucky he will talk if not he wll just use body language. He is quite ignorent to his family members especialy the female pack and most definetly Dinah, usually he just gazes at her and wonders what she is doing here and how did she get here. Other than that he isgreat with pups, they all love him, but he spends most of his time hunting he dosnt realise how much he really loves them.
How they feel about Dinah: He fels she is just another mouth to feed in the pack and a waste of space BUT he also sees potential in her and knows se will grow as one of the family, he also disagrees that she has any contact with a male it just seems rong to him.
How they feel about Lion: he feels more social around lion and he likes to be acompanyd by his brother, he didnt judge his brother and never will.
History: he was born at a dificult time, the pack had just split upand he was with the females untill old enough to eate meat. When he became a member of the male pack no one wanted to speak to him or play with him. He grew indipendent and alone. The only sole who taked to him was Lion, every now and again he would incorage him in what a good hunter he will turn out to be. As he grew older his dream of having a family ofhis own faded as he was now a pure hunter. he disliked being disturbed wilst hunting smll game and in a pack hunting large feasts he liked to lead them but wasnt always able to.When Dinah entered the sceen e as really confused, he had never seen such an odd looking wild dog in his life , anyway when he found out she wasnt a wild dog and use to live with cheetahs he disagreed that she was allowed to join the pack. a couple of weeks after he grew sortof fonde of her like she was one ofthe family, but he still didnt like her, that red coat was just to unusual for him.
Other: i forgot to draw this on but he had sme broken rope tyed around his front right leg after caught in a trap. he escaped obviously .

Name: Folami

Name meaning: Respect and Honnor Me

Gender: Male

Age: 4 - 5

Personality: Folami is a quite type, he doesn't talk much to others but when he does its normally somthing wise. Folami was a pretty strong minded african dog. He tend to stick up for those who were right and didn't take aggrestion unless someone really ticked him off. Folami respects just about anyone who is willing to prove it and is not afraid to stand down during a fight. Folami is pretty crafty on his own and can easily trick those who try to make a fool out of him. Folami doesn't complain much to his other pack mates unless they were showing dis honnor to anyone else including him.

How they feel about Dinah: Folami doesn't talk to Dinah much but thinks she might be able to prove herself if she tried. He told himself he would not truly accept her untill she proves that she is a valueble asset to the pack or at least thats what he thinks.

How they feel about Lion: Folami thinks Lion is a strong leader. Folami respects his mothers decision when they all left the pack with Folami in charge. Folami is normally the one to help Lion on his morning route on searching the land. Folami was like a second hand adviser but he didn't mind if anything he enjoyed it somtimes.

History: When he was born he was given the name Folami because he had great respect for his mother and father when he was growing up. When ever his parents weren't around he would try to behave and not get in trouble like most would. When Falomi lost his father he felt alittle sad but he didn't show it much. When it was time for the male side to leave Folami was right next to Lion getting ready to take there half of the pack. Folami had a very shaking attack with a couger not long before they left which is what left him so quite. Folami didn't like talking about his past much but when he was three he had a beautiful mate and little litter of african pups on the way. Folami was looking forward to it but on a night from going to get his mate food he had heard a painful howl that cause his heart to die. When he got there he saw his mates stomach ripped open and promised himself never would he fall for a girl again. when he was going on five was when Dinah showed up. He wouldn't admit it but he thought she was cute but would not break his promise to himself he was far to scared to lose someone again but he would protect her if brother let her join but nothing more he told himself.

Other: no not really...lol

Name: Obi
Name meaning: Heart
Gender: Male
Age: About 3
Personality: Very curious, inquisitive, constantly asking questions which often irritates others in the pack. He is very sincere often not understanding the jokes of others and he respects his brother Lion even though he is younger than him. He is the one everyone looks to if they are feeling down as he is a positive thinker that brings life and heart to the pack. He is friendly towards everyone and he loves to investigate which can often lead him into trouble. He acts younger than he actually is.
How they feel about Dinah: He is very curious and intrigued about Dinah’s arrival. He is the first to welcome her and is very excited about meeting someone new. He constantly asks her about her life outside of Africa and what it is like there.
How they feel about Lion: He respects his brother a great deal and looks up to him even though he is younger. He likes to play with his brother Lion as he is the closest in age to him and one of the few that doesn’t treat him like a baby.
History: Second youngest in the pack, Obi doesn’t remember very much about the big split. He has lived in Africa his whole life and probably always will.

edited everything old post is deleted....

Name: Giconi
Name meaning: bird
Gender: male
Age: 2-3
Personality: Bashful and very intuitive. He is very fretful and doesn't like to stay in one place for long. Giconi is afraid of cheetahs because of one of the stories his mother told him as a pup. His mind goes faster than his mouth so he often mixes up his words or he stutters. This often annoys his brothers but Lion tries to ignore it. But his older brother Sizwe hates it. Giconi is a good and dependable friend he just doesn't say much because he gets embarrassed. Once he tried to pull off the strong silent type but he didn't fool anyone with his small almost frail body. But actually though he is quite gangly he is pretty strong. He probably has the best hearing of all his brothers and he can actually sing better than he talks. Loves listening to stories and lives his life by them even though they are only meant to scare or teach pups manners. Giconi is very polite especially around females. Has a child-like innocence about him.
How they feel about Dinah: Slightly afraid of her because she came with the cheetahs and kind of thinks of her as the god of death that was also another old pup tale. But later on thinks of her as a sister.
How they feel about Lion: Loves and supports his brother but not right out loud he cheers silently from the sidelines. He enjoys being older than his stronger more muscular brother and he also likes being taller.
History: Well he is probably the second youngest of his brothers and was much attached to his mom and his sister Fragrant because she was like a second mother to him and he would sometimes pretend to be her baby so she would take care of him and he loved it. But when the pack split up he stayed reserved pretended to be strong and didn't talk to anyone until his brother Lion talked to him and they got into an argument about the whole incident with there father and pack separating. Giconi realized that he was being stupid and gave up the act. Now he supports his brother 100%.
Other: Giconi gets picked on by his older brother Sizwe and Lion tries to stop it until one day the bullying went too far and Giconi ended up getting his tongue ripped out. So later on he can't talk at all.



Name: Sizwe
Name meaning: Nation
Gender: Male
Age: 4-5
Personality: Biased. He is afraid of vultures for one day he knows they will eat him too. Likes the sound of rain hitting the ground. His eyes are squinty and they will not open all the way but they give others the notion of suspicion. He likes alligators and uses one as his minion for he believes that the stronger animals should team up and destroy the weaker (ahem... Giconi and Dinah). Full of himself. Talks slowly and clearly making sure to use a large vocabulary to confuse the simple animals of the savannah. Loves to beat on his brother Giconi and make him cry out in pain or harass him about his speech problems. But once that harassment went too far when Giconi decided to fight back. Sizwe got even angrier and ripped his tongue. Disdainful, has a spiteful sense of humor. He is a really smooth liar. He is good at using your words against you. He is the tallest of the brothers and rather svelte.
How they feel about Dinah: At first he tries to impress her with his intelligence and harsh sense of humor, but she dislikes him from the beginning then he thinks that she isn’t very smart to turn him down. Now he finds her a waste of time and space and thinks of her as weak and an embarrassment to the canine family.
How they feel about Lion: Thinks of Lion as a threat. He is going to get in the way of his plan and needs to be removed from the pack. He finds him an idiot but doesn’t underestimate him for he knows that their father’s strength burns in his veins.
History: He felt that his father was stupid because he believes that Sizwe is wrong for the strong can only survive if the weak are around. After that he was against most of his fathers decisions. When his father died Sizwe only shed a single tear and turned around and stalked off. Lion was surprised by his brother’s odd behavior compared to Giconi’s balling over their father’s death. Sizwe could see Lion’s suspicion toward him and decided that he needed friends outside of the pack just in case if something went wrong. So he made a pact with a crocodile named Arapmoi “son of war”. The have a plan to destroy all the weak creatures and let the strong survive in the savanna. He stars with harassing Giconi but he would never kill his little brother because he is family. But one day Giconi fights back and Sizwe’s temper gets the better of him and he rips his poor brother’s tongue. Lion defends his older yet weaker brother. Lion does what most leaders do and clamps his jaws around Sizwe’s muzzle. Sizwe tried to escape the grip because he dislikes being dominated by someone that he peers to be unworthy. But by fighting it left scars on his face. Lion sadly talked to his other brothers and they all agree on Sizwe leaving except for a few, Giconi didn’t want him to leave for an unknown reason.
Other: Sizwe decides to set his plan in action by taking out Dinah. So he follows her vigilantly and tries to take her out but gets attacked by one of her cheetah posse members. Now nobody knows where Sizwe is located. His mother used to call him Sizzy.

I chaned some information on Adisa, to amke him more complete

Keep em coming guys, lookin' good

Word to the wise tho? People, don't rely on a "unique design" for a "unique character." Just because African Wild Dogs don't have a set "pattern" in their fur, doesn't mean you can give them whatever the hell fur color you want xD I gave you links for references for your advantage, so use them.

Name: Bull (African name: Anan)

Name meaning: "Born fourth"

Gender: Male

Age: 4-5

Personality: Anan is wise, kind, thoughtful, reflective, and quiet. He is open to others' ideas/suggestions, but will stand firm on what he believes. He has a special affection for Lion as the youngest brother but will not tolerate any sass from the others. He rarely gets any, though, because he doesn't stir up trouble himself :3 His brothers respect him and he treats them in kind. He laughs at his name (Bull) because of his quiet nature, but really he's a lot like one - he's quiet, yet powerful, and he garners respect from others. He prefers his African name, though.

How they feel about Dinah: Anan finds Dinah very interesting, having never seen an animal that didn't seem to fit with the African landscape. Being the analytical sort, Anan studied her from a distance, and at first, he kept a close watch on her, though not obviously. He still can't really decide whether to like or dislike her, but he at least trusts her. He sees her honest, innocent nature and knows that at least she wouldn't do them any harm. Also, he knows that she's in capable hands with Moor.

How they feel about Lion: As I said earlier, Anan has a special thing for Lion, being the youngest, and since their father has died, he feels more like Lion's father than his brother, although Lion is seemingly unaware of this. Lion scoffs somewhat at Anan's advice, but Anan is patient with him and does not force anything on him. He respects Lion as the appointed leader according to the wild dog's ways. (He wouldn't ever say so, but he's also very proud of Lion for taking over so well after the death of their father.)

History: As his name implies, Anan was born fourth XD As a pup, he was wild and rambunctious, but a run-in with a lion scared him so badly that he wouldn't speak for days. Moor was worried about him, but his father had confidence that he would pull through. He did because of the confidence that his father had in him, and as a result grew close to him, learning pretty much everything he knew from him. When his father was killed, it hurt Anan very deeply, but he remembered his father's words to him from when he was a scared puppy: "Y'know, son, things happen in life, and you can be afraid of those things. But facing them anyway and emerging with your head held high, well, that's courage. That's what I want for you." Those words helped him keep from withdrawing into fear about what would happen to them. He put his trust in Moor and Lion, and his siblings recognized his accomplishment and grew to respect him more for it.

Other: There isn't really that much more to say, except that Lion reminds Anan of a lion (an animal that Anan fears and detests), and yet it made Anan love him more for it when he was born. He can't explain why.


(Also, sorry I couldn't seem to get the spots and the mohawk quite right. I did this on a laptop with no mouse. XD)

Okay, I'll TRY...

(brown eyes and tan)
Name: Kato
Name Meaning: 2nd born of twins (he was named this because when he was born, his fur was a very light gold color reminding his mother of the sun's color. So his mother named him for being the sun's "younger twin".)
Gender: Male
Age: 1 years old
Personality: More then anything, Kato LOVES to make any male under his ranking have a hard time. He's pretty cocky and only has a few fears (fire, SNAKES), but he is absolutely terrified of snakes. He can be romantic but for the most part, treats females like trophies. However, he really is a good guy. He's all for the pack and will proudly follow his brother into anything. He's always smiling and making jokes, especially if the pack's spirit is down. Despite his laid back, easy going almost lazy temperment, he is a fairly skilled fighter. He's not invincable, but he will fight until the last breath. Every once in a while, he can act wise and give good advice, but that's only when someone is having major doubts or problems.
How he Feels about Dinah: Eh, doesn't care much for her. She's not something he can make a prize of, yet she's not something he can be better then. He's nice to her, but concentrates more on his appearances.
How he feels about Lion: Loyal to his leader and will follow Lion to the death! But as long as nothing is going on, Lion is the main target of Kato's jokes. Of course Kato knows that his brother could beat him up if he had wanted to, but that doesn't stop Kato from playfighting and throwing fake insults.
History: Kato wasn't the youngest or the oldest, but he always wanted to be the leader. When his older brother took the lead over however, he went along with it: seeing all the responsibility that Lion had to take up was too big for Kato to consider, and he doubted that he could do it. When he was only a few months old, he spotted a snake in the water and thinking that it was a fish, he grabbed it. Unfortunately, the snake bit him right on the muzzle and it turned out to be a poisinous snake. For weeks, he was extremely sick and at times, close to dying. It was a miracle he recovered at all, and from the bite he recieved a pretty good scar right across his nose, but it isn't visible unless you get closer. As he grew, he constantly showed his independance from his parents and always tries to show off and prove that he's capable of anything anyone throws at him. he also dreams of the day that he thinks he'll be strong enough to get revenge for his father's murder.

she probably won't win, but i thought it'd be creative to say the least XD.
(green eyes, looks like seeker)
Name: Asita
Name Meaning: God; the Sun
Gender: Female (yep, I said female)
Age: 2
Personality: very defensive, short tempered, very tom boyish, secretive, tough, competative, likes to fight.
How (s)he feels about Dinah: likes Dinah a lot. in many ways they are very similar and Asita is very supportive of Dinah since she beleives those who are different can be just as good as anyone else
How (s)he feels about Lion: they have a pretty tense relationship. although they are siblings, Asita thinks that she would be better in an all male pack, which was strongly opposed by her brother, so as a result, she is always mad at him or snippy
History: When Asita was a pup, she was always very competative, more competative then the rest of her sisters and always seemed closer to her brothers. after her father was killed and the pack had to split, she secretly slipped away from the female pack and followed her brothers. so she had to fight her way to be accepted. therefore, she is always defensive and always ready to fight one of the guys to prove her skills. She took her father's death very hard... she was daddy's little girl and the pup that looked the most like him.

And do they listen? Of course not

Update on front page........in bold.

Name: Dula
Name meaning: Headman
Gender: Male
Age: 4 years
Personality: Very headstrong and independant.
How they feel about Dinah: Doesn't want to let a stranger, a mutt, into his family so easily. He's a member of one of the proudest packs, and will not allow Dinah to become Lion's mate, even if it means taking drastic actions.
How they feel about Lion: Jealous that he is the leader, as Dula thinks (Emphasis on thinks) he is stronger, smarter and more suited to be leader. He regularly taunts him about how he is not suited for the role as alpha male. But knows when he has stepped out of line, and knows when to be (reluctantly) submissive to his younger brother.
History: First born of his litter, he once tried to run away and start his own pack (as he was too young to lead at all) with a lone female, but after her death during pregnancy he returned to his family who eventually welcomed him back. Deserting them ruined his chances of being leader one day. He hasn't yet tried to start a fight with Lion for dominance, as he knows the rest of the pack would turn on him and exile him from the pack, he won't risk it unless he could get Lion alone and away form his family..
Other: He was the first born in Moor and Seeker's second litter and looked up to his father. He was raised to believe he could be leader by his father and after his death felt that he had to live up to his dads expectations.

Here's the picture Cat. I told you it would be coloured badly. XD
