A continuation for my first African Wild Dog one. Since Moor has so many children, it really did need a part two. But this time, instead of Moor's daughters, I'm looking for Moor's sons.

For those who didn't see my other contest:

What does an African Wild Dog look like? Like this: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q ... ages&gbv=2 (((IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW WHAT AN AFRICAN WILD DOG LOOKS LIKE, YOU'RE WRONG. USE THESE REFERENCES.)))

This is different because the pattern of these dogs' coat is very complex, and then again, its so simple. (I mean its really no different than everyone's miscellaneous and mismatching designs of characters anyway)

That and African Wild Dogs are very different from wolves in personality too.

Why African Wild Dogs? Because my character Dinah (http://baltosource.timduru.org/en/chars/Dinah/42.html) is stranded in Africa and her cheetah pals can no longer take care of her. Her only chance for survival is to join a pack of Wild Dogs.

But these dogs are gonna need an identity. And that's where you guys come in.

A little feedback on this pack first. There was a pack of these wild dogs (all related to each other) and the male (named Seeker) was killed by a certain raging bull elephant known for inter-species murder. Since the pack was led by both the male and the female, the pack went their separate ways, males going one way, females going another. The male group was led by the youngest male, and the female group was led by the oldest and mother of them all. This is not uncommon for African Wild Dog packs, but the female pack is the one Dinah is intending on joining.

The leader/YOUNGEST brother of the pack is my character Lion (African name: Tau).

((updated on new page))

Okay! Let's hope he does better than my other entry in the first contest. The design is sorta the same, because I loved Imani's design but the personality is the total opposite. Good.

Name: Kamau

Name meaning: Quiet Warrior

Gender: Male

Age: 5 years

Personality: Kamau is, as his name suggest, a quiet dog. It's not that he's shy, he just doesn't like small-talk. He's not 'strangely quiet', he does talk, but he doesn't like group conversations or idle chatter. He'd rather save his breath. As the other part of his name suggests, he is a brave, loyal, intelligent dog that will do his best to protect his loved ones without putting his own life at high risk. He's surprisingly playful with his brothers but extremely wary outside of his own kind and his own territory.

How they feel about Dinah: Beware the red-furred canine. Pointy-eared dogs are always trouble.

How they feel about Lion: Kamau doesn't understand why his mother picked Lion over himself or any of his other brothers. Lion is the youngest of them, the most inexperienced. Though, if mum said it, it must be the right choice.

History: Kamau grew up like anyone else, trying to fill his father's pawprints and be just like him. He used to be an adventurous young dog but when his father was killed he became extremely wary of animals that weren't his species.

Other: Kamau is the smallest out of all his brothers. Not by much, but it's still kind of noticeable. He's very agile and quite speedy. He's nearly as fast as a Thompson's Gazelle but he can easily out-maneuver one. That's what makes him so useful in hunting.

Edit: Changing entry

Name: Sefu
Name meaning: "sword"
Gender: male
Age: 4
Personality: Sefu isn't the nicest of the group. He is usually the first to say negative things and is always ready to fight. He likes starting fights & will never stop until he ends them. Sefu is one of the strongest and meanest ones in the pack.
How they feel about Dinah: Sefu doesn't trust Dinah; he usually never trusts anyone knew for a very long time. He will find every oppurtunity to accuse her of doing something.
How they feel about Lion: Sefu respects Lion and will calm down if Lion tells him to. Lion is usually the only one who can call off a fight by Sefu. Sefu is very reliable, though, and he will fulfill any job given to him.
History: When Sefu was born, he was always very sensitive and loving with his family. He loved sticking around his dad, and would always get jealous if his siblings were with Seeker. Sefu didn't like being mothered by Moor a lot, and considered himself the strongest guy there. Sadly after Seeker died, Sefu's attitude worsened. He hated almost everyone and would barely talk. Sefu was always negative, and his response for almost everything is, "What's the use? We're all going to die some day."
Other: Sefu never looked for a mate, since he thinks it'd be only a temporary tag-along partner because death was around the corner.

Name: Dumisa
Name meaning: Causes Thunder
Gender: Male
Age: 3
Personality: Careful, a bit quiet, but when he runs, there's no way to contain his excitement, you can tell because his tail goes up and he begins to jump around and want to play.
How they feel about Dinah: He thinks she's diffrent, and that's welcome to him.
How they feel about Lion: He respects Lion for all that he is and will do anything for him.
History: Born on a dark, cloudy day, Dumisa was an oddball, born grey, golden, and black, with bright blue eyes.
Other: He's scared of Meercats. Yes, I said meercats.

Oopdated on third page.

Name: Bongani
Name meaning: Grateful
Gender: Male
Age: 4-5
Personality: Very serious and intolerant of nonsense and pranks. Basically the polar opposite of Bahati xD
How they feel about Dinah: He's not too fond of her. He thinks that she'll be a distraction to Lion and that the remnants of his pack will fall apart.
How they feel about Lion: He trusts Lion up to a point. He gets irritable when he shows off but doesn't expect him any other way since he's young. he thinks that when he's focused enough that none of his other brothers were more qualified for taking over for their deceased father.
History: Being one of Moor and Seeker's oldest children, Bongani feels like he bears a lot of responsibility. He feels responsible for his younger siblings and feels guilty when they get sick or hurt. He had the most trouble with Bahati since she was so curious and full of mischief, but also fels very close to her. When she was a puppy, he noticed her wandering off and followed her (but she didn't know xD). Eventually, she stumbled upon a lion's den and wound up getting chased by a mother protecting her litter of newborn cubs. Bongani came to the rescue and let Bahati escape, but at the cost of half his face scarred and his ears torn up.
Other: He inherighted Moor's mohawk xD I wanted a character with one and figured, "Hey! They run in his family apparantly so why not?" xD

Gender:Male
Age: 2
Personality: act like an adult, good hunter, loves to racing with his pack mate, kind, he never say anything negative he always positive

How they feel about Lion:He loves him very much and he very protective to his young brother. He never hate him although his mother give his young brother a trust to lead
History:The second older in the litter. He like to challenge his pack mate (not to fight but to racing). He like to hang out with Dinah although they are different
Other:He believe in anything he choose is the right choice because his name meaning is God with us. He didn't like anyone that hurt Dinah

Name: Kiango [pronounced "kee-an-GOH"] (also called Kainwendo [pronounced "Kahm-WEHN-doh"] which means 'leg')
Name meaning: light
Gender: Male
Age: 3-4
Personality: Wise, protective, friendly, dominant but submissive when necessary
How they feel about Dinah: Doesn't mind her being a part of the pack, however, believes she shouldn't be mating with any of them, especially their leader. Therefore, he is very against her interest in Lion and makes sure they don't meet.
How they feel about Lion: Although Lion is the youngest, Kiango respects the fact that he is the leader. He tries to give him advice when he needs some support. After the pack split they grew close as friends. Overall, Kiango is very submissive to his younger brother knowing he is able to lead the pack very well. However, if Lion fell for Dinah, het fond of him being interested in Dinah as he believes the leader has a duty to
History: He was one of the first pups of Moor and Seeker and has been in the pack when his father was murdered. He stood by his mother to comfort her when she was feeling sad and then when the packs split, he was supporting his youngest brother in leading the pack.
Other: I gave him 2 names. I liked the name Kainwendo which means 'leg' so it kind of stayed even though I chose another name. Only those that are close to him use it tho.
Picture:

I changed his design because the other one looked sloppy and out of control it started to make my eyes hurt.

I like a few of these so far But people, make sure you read the rules THOROUGHLY
