[Likno Tis Zois]

Appearance & Species

Appearance: There are no pridal restrictions on colors or appearance. However, that does not mean individuals do not have a bias and favor certain colors over others.

Species: This is a lion-only pride with very few exceptions. Non-lions must be brought before the Monarch for judgement so they can stay or not. This is done on a case-by-case basis. See LAWS for more information.
(OOCly both Velveteen Angel and Seaki must OK the joining of a non-lion and a RP with the Monarch must be done.)

Familiars

General Stance: All familiars are welcome, though may run the risk of becoming prey if they are not careful. They must belong to a member, as those who are not will be viewed as food.

Religion

Pridal The pride holds no official pride-wide religion. Religion is consider a private matter.
Harem Each harem has the option of having a religious aspect if they want. This however is personal and each harem may have a different religious focus, a different god/goddess their worship or other aspects.

Marriage & Breeding

Harems: Harems are lead by one member, male or female and often the most capable of the mate-group. To become the leader of a harem, they must petition for the right with witnesses. All members of a harem are brought before the leader of the pride to explain why they are strong enough to lead. *This is an assumed RP, unless you wish to RP it out.*
To form a harem, you must post here and wait for approval.
Breeding: Breeding is a personal decision within the harems, however adolescents are discouraged from breeding on a general basis. Flings are also ok within the eyes of the pride, however harem leaders must approve flings and breedings in the pride.
All breedings (rogue or in pride) must be posted here for approval before posting.

Values & Traditions

Surnames:

• Surnames are a way to keep track of harems and their offspring. Some harems produce a lot of children, so having surnames aids in minimizing confusion.
  
• Children have a matronymic or patronymic name - whomever is the harem leader will pass down their name to the children.
  
• All mates within a harem take on the harem leader’s harem surname.
• Surnames of the leader have an extra tack on them to denote them (-ide for female and -id for males)

xxxxxFamily Name Example: Maua (harem leader), Haytham Mauahuios (child; male), Liana Mauakóri (child; female)
xxxxxHarem Name Example: Maua Livádide (harem leader), Ajitabh Livádi (mate); if Ajitabh was the harem leader, his surname would be Livádid

Ágamos Harem: Upon reaching adulthood, children are no longer considered part of their parent’s harem. They are still called by their family name, but are considered part of a Bachelor/Bachelorette Harem until they find or create one to call their own.

In this singles group, they practice roles they would take within their own permanent harem, be they a leader or the mate of the leader. Members who join the pride from the outside and do not have a mate within are also in this harem.

Joining a New Harem: To join a new harem, the member must be first within the Ágamos harem. From there, either the single member can seek a harem or a harem leader may seek a single member to join theirs.

• Must post a form here
  

Creating a New Harem: To become the leader of a brand new harem, a member must prove themselves in the ability to be a fair and just harem leader. They must come before the leader with a convincing case as well as members who believe they can become the leader of their own harem.

• Must post a form here and have completed at least one roleplay within the pride.
  

Hunting: There are no specific hunters within a pride. Families are expected to take care of their own. In the case of Adol and Adult members within the Ágamos harem, they take care of one another or themselves.

History

After her birth pride disbanded, founding Monarch Na'ila (a female used to being pampered and cared for) suddenly had to face the harshness of the rogue lands. Struggling to find her own inner strength, she realised that the rogue lands was not safe for her. Gathering people of a similar mind, she created the Likno Tis Zois. Born of a female's desire for equality between genders and sexualities, with every member of the pride pulling their own weight. It was not about servitude, but protection and safety. She incorporated her birth pride's tradition of keeping harems, with new twists that placed people on more equal grounds and created an inclusive pride for those with more than one love.

Current Events

The pride is currently in a relaxed state as it grows in number.

Laws

Non-Lion Laws: Non-lions are generally not allowed within the pride with very few exceptions. The Monarch is involved in integrating non-lions within the pride should they be allowed wthin. All non-lions must have a sponsor that is a lion, no exceptions.

Murder, Assault/Battery and Self-Defense Laws: Hostility among members occasionally occur and sometimes it can end in violence. Any violent act between members of the pride, including any physical harm is marked under this law. All cases and accusations must be tried as a Criminal trial, with very few exceptions.

Trials

Criminal Trial: Crimes committed within the pride are brought before the Monarch and a Law-speaker with a jury of peers.

Civil Trial: Disputes between two members are usually solved among themselves, but sometimes a third party must get involved. In this case a Law-speaker will mediate and decide the outcome of the dispute. This can be anything from dispute over a hunting kill or fairness of a trade.

Punishment

Non-Lion Laws: Should a non-lion enter the pride without knowledge of the Monarch and express permission, the non-lion and whomever they came in for may be banished from the pride. This includes flings that result in hybrids when there is no non-lion present in that particular harem.

Murder, Assault/Battery and Self-Defense Laws: Murder is a serious crime that results in serious punishment. The member may either be banished, killed, or will become a prisoner, depending on the Lawspeaker doling out the punishment. If a death results from self-defense, the member must go to a Constable or Lawspeaker immediately and tell them of the deed or it will be tried as a murder. Attacking a fellow member may result in a stripped rank and marked as a prisoner until they can redeem themselves (harem leaders that commit attack another member outside of self defense or defense of their harem will be stripped of their rank and not allowed to re-obtain it unless under special circumstances)

====Prisoner Information:
Prisoners who were the head of a Harem has their harem placed under the control of the Monarch until their a new leader of their harem can be decide (a new surname is often provided unless the harem decides against it). If a prisoner rises above this status, they may re-try for their rank and status, though their still be some stigma over it. They will forever be watched closely and may need to be watched closely over and will have -tias tacked onto their surname so those who are joining know they have committed a crime. Those who have held the rank prisoner may never lead a harem again.
