[QueenOfWyrms]

Username: QueenOfWyrms
Lion name: Obin
Lion gender: male
Pride: PoB
Pride status: Nadiri Batling
Prompt:
Obin awoke to a crowd of lions around him. they gawked and stared, startling when he lifted his head. His head rang, presumably from when he crashed and made this crater in the ground. The last thing he remembered was the searing pain of entering the atmosphere and--The Crystal! Flittermouse! He stood quickly, preparing the shift and fly, when one lion overcame her apparent wariness of him and tackled him back to the ground, shouting about how he'd ruined her shop and why'd he have to fall out of the sky and land in a public square. He tried to answer her, but when he moved his long tongue to speak, she shrieked and jumped away. One cub in the crowd pointed to him and declared loudly, "His nose looks funny!" Someone shushed the cub and herded her out of sight. He looked around at the crowd and realized that unlike home on Nadir, they also had the same, basic features. Some had manes and fur done up stylistically, but besides that and coloration, this crowd seemed identical. They must see him as some sort of... freak. As he tried to do something to stop them looking at him like that, lions in armor arrived and surrounded him like some sort of criminal, and they dragged him off, telling him, "The Queen demands your presence." He could only imagine what horrors might await him in the court of this foreign pride on this foreign planet.

[Mercuré]

Username: irockwaffleking
Lion name: Basile
Lion gender: male
Pride: The Pantheon
Pride status: hunter
Prompt:

Basile was a very different lion, Kualii thought to himself. Basile was foreign and their appearance and mannerisms displayed that. They pronounced things slightly different with vowel sounds shifting slightly and they didn’t say the “H” sound at all. Kualii was fascinated by the accent as they never had really heard one before, he didn’t encounter many foreigners. Although the accent and mannerisms were obvious signs Kualii was especially interested in Basile’s appearance. Between his long tongue and different mane style Basile stood out from the lions in the area. His mane was styled and cut differently which on its own would’ve been considered unusual but the tongue was what tended to interest other lions more. Kualii had asked him before if his tongue length was unique to him or if other lions from where was had long tongues as well but Basile has only given him a blank stare for getting distracted while hunting. Despite the annoyed look Basile has told Kualii he actually reacts better than a significant amount of lions. Kualii himself has seen how many lions can be openly rude to Basile because they perceive him as different. However some lions (especially cubs) can also react in amazement with common phrases being “that’s so cool!.” The tongue is considered so unusual Kualii has hardly seen anyone comment on Basile’s nose. Kualii likes to catch Basile off guard and boop it because he can’t resist leading to a lot of eye rolling from Basile. All in all Basile is very different but Kualii doesn’t care, he thinks the his hunting buddy is the best or with or without his unique features.

MARK!

[Tiger♥Bear]

Username: Tiger♥Bear
Lion name: Sisay
Lion gender: Male
Pride: Pekee Pamoja
Pride status: Head Knight
Prompt: 356/500

Sisay has gotten a variety of reactions. Some good, some bad. Honestly, he's misunderstood. But he's patient. It's instinct to react on impulse and for some it's hard to move past that initial first impression. There are some out there who look like him back on his home world, but here... he hasn't seen anyone like him. The first lion he met was a rich earthy brown lion. Called himself Lutum. He was, understandably, cautious. New and strange lion appears in your home- who wouldn't be a little concerned? Not to mention his long tongue or odd nose. This Lutum made a hasty retreat. Sisay simply took a breath and carried on.
The second and third lion he had met were Kibwe and Kesi. They were apparently father and daughter. Where he was blues and creams, she was purples and grays. Their greeting had been much more...casual? In fact, they didn't even seem perturbed by his appearance. It was a welcome change from the first encounter but also a surprising one. Being curious, he even asked about it. "Not to change the subject, but... aren't you concerned with my... alien...ness?" Their answer had intrigued him. "Of course not. Everyone is different and unique in their own way. Some of us... more than others." Kibwe had smiled brightly. Kesi gave a smug smirk and chuckled out an additional comment. "My mom and sister have wings so..."
It had been reassuring to see they weren't bothered by his looks. He was curious if others had abnormalities. That led him to wandering the valley and meeting all sorts of different lions. Some with minor things. Lionesses with manes, lions without manes, folded ears, pointed ears. There were a couple that weren't even fully lion. The most shocking to him was probably the lioness with the glowing eyes and the lioness with the third eye. Seeing how everyone was different was reassuring. Perhaps that was why most of the lions he met with weren't too disturbed by his looks. He may not have had reservations about his appearance but it was still refreshing and uplifting to find others didn't either.

[Raptocidic]

Username: RupturedRaptor
Lion name: Ryker
Lion gender: Female
Pride: Fire Empire
Pride status: Warrior
Prompt:

Waking up after her afternoon nap, Ryker felt full of energy. It was time to explore her new home and meet new lions, hopefully making some friends. Ryker grinned as she strolled through the grasslands, her mane swaying gently in the wind. Having spotted a lion in the distance, her pace sped up. She was excited to meet them.

Ryker bounded up to the lion from behind, yelling at him a ‘hello!’, except her toungue butchered the pronunciation, resulting in a gargled sounding “Eylloh”. The lion jumped, turning around quickly. He seemed surprised, and then scared. Ryker tried walking up to him, only to find he backed away slightly with every step she took. Ryker stood still, tilting her head in confusion as her tongue blew in the wind. The lion stared back at him, looking at her, then her nose, then her tongue. She opened her mouth to try and speak, but the lion took several steps back.

Looking mildly terrified, the lion backed up slowly, then more quickly. He spluttered out an apology, although Ryker couldn’t understand why he was apologising. “S-sorry mate. I’ll leave, i didn’t mean to bother ya”. And with that the lion turned and fled, running faster than Ryker had ever seen anyone run before.

Finding the event a little strange, Ryker shrugged it off and continued on her stroll, not thinking too much about it. She next came across a lioness, who was drinking from the other side of the river. Eager to say hi, Ryker lept into the water and began swimming towards her. Finding it quicker to swim fully submerged, Ryker put her head underwater. She watched the lioness from beneath the surface, practicing her best friendly smile before she said hello.

Ryker lept out of the water, still grinning. “Eyloow” She shouted. She had hoped her greeting would come out as an actaul ‘hello’ that time, but she was happy with the progress she had made on the word. The lioness however, clearly didn’t appreciate her best efforts at speech. Having just seen a strange creature covered in riverweed jump out of the water, she had jumped back and had run without even looking back behind her.

Ryker stood there in the water, her mane and fur dripping wet. She stared out at the horizon, watching the lioness disappear into the distance. She looked at herself in the water. “Ih jusht waanth thhreehnds” she said to herself slowly. She couldn’t see why the lions were afraid of her. She used to have no problem making friends back on her home planet- so why was socialising so difficult now? Giving up, Ryker wondered over to some shrubs and sat in the shade alone. She watched a group of lions in the distance and sighed.

All she wanted was to make friends with the neighbours.
