[OPEN!] Cerynei/Vanaras Herd Plot Thread: Announcement p. 16

[Kyra Bloodborne]

I may be available for some plots or something either later friday or this weekend.  

[xo maho]

Okay ^_^ Wow, he's really handsome. Nice fang =P Too bad he didn't get wings, though. That would've been so cool.  

[Kyra Bloodborne]

Haha, that would be a awesome throwback though if say his foals or somewhere down the line someone in his family ended up with them. I love his fang though, makes him look very much the devilish little thing.  

[xo maho]

Both Herd RPs need replies - nekolulu and catmagick, respectively. Please reply as soon as you can heart

Lastly, I am beginning to think that the Advisors will not be needed, as Mei kind of pointed out. They will be removed; Faye will be out of a job - I'd like it if he could be a Patrol Leader and spend time with kids when his patrol isn't on duty - that way, his sense of duty and peace-loving nature can both have equal time. How's that sound, Mei?

Sorry if I just scared everybody out of their wits ^^; It was necessary.

Oh yay I found this thread again! 0-0 I had lost it and was feeling horrible. (Lost all bookmarks from firefox as computer was wiped.)

I read over the announcement and to move Faye would be perfectly fine if advisers are being booted. ^^

 

[xo maho]

*pats Mei on the head* I was wondering where you went.

I'm still not sure if I want to get rid of them yet... Advisor is kind of a be-there-for-the-people-when-they-need-it job, so maybe the formality could be toned down? Like, a lot?

What say you? (And everybody else?)  

[Mei Silja]

Yea, my computer has some bad bugs right now. <.< That's what happens when you let other people use it.
I do not mind, after thinking of it the adviser's should really be older and trusted herd members who know the ropes and have been around and seen a lot. To be trusted with decisions you have to know the answers and a young adviser very likely wouldn't know the answer. (Also people should be picked if their active.)


I do have something on the ceremony position. There really should be a male as well. Most Cerynei males will have antlers and that would make a wonderful ceremony.
I am guessing most patrol's will have antlers so that they can defend the land.

So when a colt or filly (As there are girls with antlers now. X3 Way cute) Grows older they go through a ceremony to prove they are adults and they will use their antlers for the good of the herd that they will remain strong and firm charging into the enemies side but holding the herd up in firm grips.

Those looking to be the patrols will not eat for a day then as night fall happens they have to go through the forests despite the danger. They are asked to gather vines flowers leaves in their antlers and return with them still full. If they drop them they must go back and they can not eat. When they do come back they must wait for night again where then they must promise and put an oath they will forever think of the herds safety and as the sun comes up they shake their antlers free and they are proclaimed adults and a true member of the herd.

With this I think a male for the ceremonies would be more appropriate as he would have antlers as well, but then a female for other ceremonies like birth would be better, together male a female can help with naming and all that and welcoming new embers etc.

Count Me In!
Soq Name: Helberd
Soq Image: [x]
Trying for a Rank? Which one? Instructor.
Why do you think your soq would be best for this rank? Helberd wants to prove to the best of his ability that he can protect the herd. He is also very loyal. The boy has always wanted a family of his own, and this is his chance.
Lifemated? If yes, to who? No, but he's looking :3
Will you, at all costs, defend the herd to the best of your ability and not insult anybody's antlers? Absolutely.

Wow. That's a really good idea. I agree completely about there being a male M/C. Makes a lot of sense.

However, about that ceremony - what about the fillies? There are bound to be female scouts and patrol members, and not all of them will have antlers. They will have been taught to fight with teeth, hooves, and whatever else they have by the instructor of offensive/defensive combat, even if they don't have antlers. So how can we adapt the ceremony for those little girls that want to fight?

As for the Advisors, I think they're going to stay, but the position will only be used when it's needed. So for now, Faye will need a different job, and Riverfaith will be put with the nannies/midwives as well.

Kaimi, after Addy gets some training, do you think he'd be willing to go through with the ceremony above as a foal?

Pixel and Helberd, welcome to the herd! What type of instructor would Helberd like to be? Language instructor, swimming instructor, some other type entirely?  

[PixelDeerest]

Perhaps fighting? He'd love to teach others to fight. He also has knowledge of swimming :3

 

[xo maho]

We've already got a combat instructor... But maybe they could team up or teach different kinds of fighting?

But since the migration path crosses the river, it'd really be better if we had a swimming instructor.  

[PixelDeerest]

He could help teach fighting when there are more members? (like if you've ever read Warriors and they have many instructors? xD)

And of course he'll teach swimming xD <3

Well for those who do not have antlers, the must go and find a certain flower that's rare to find. They must go and pick it and bring it back, but the flower can not be crushed, or any of it's petals lost. They show they have the strength and power to protect and take even the most delicate thing. Like the ones with antlers they can not eat, and if they return and the sun is up they to must wait for night and cast the flower where everyone can see it as the sun comes up. A crushed or hurt flower means they failed of course. ^^

For Faye, if yo do decide to go for a male of ceremonies I would love him to be there as that had been what I submitted him for to start with.

Yes, that sounds great actually. Sorry, my computer and my 14 month old son got in a fight...and well, you can guess which one won. XP
