Character Name: Dione
Character Image:

(She's the High Priestess but I can't find her cert at the moment!)

View: Traditional
Why?:
Dione believes that the only reason females keep going out into the roguelands is because they're desperate. They have no true understanding of strength and will pick "what they can get" rather than actively seeking out someone worthy from the pride. There are plenty of Freeborn males that possess strength and good breeding, but they would lower themselves to mere scraps.

Her daughters are raised with this in mind and she OPENLY looks down in what some would regard as disgust at those who go against her and decide to become Reavers. Rumour has it that she isn't above disowning her own daughters, and interestingly enough, she'd probably not shy away from saying that straight to the warlord's face given that she proved her brother's point regarding a females unreliable nature while on Vikings!

Character Name: Tethys
Character Image:



View: Traditional
Why?:
Formally a more pragmatic lion, he's come to accept that every lioness he brought with him ended up doing EXACTLY what he predicted and specifically warned them away from, this includes the Warlord. They all became pregnant and they all left, they're incapable of dedicating themselves properly to a band and their sole purpose for leaving the pride seems to be to have cubs with lesser males.

He'd never take another female into his band again and this includes his own daughters. He's not around enough to raise his cubs in the Stormborn but given he had them with another traditionalist, you can expect that this is how they would be raised. He's liable to look down and disregard any female in his line who decides to reave now that he's had his assumptions confirmed.

...A females obsession with getting pregnant is no excuse to load a band with the burden of a pregnant female, they should remain at home and select a proper mate from the Stormborn.

Females that pledged themselves to him can only blame themselves for this view, given it was them who reinforced it by doing exactly what he advised against!

Character Name: Thron
Character Image:



View: Traditional (But Pragmatic)
Why?:
The First Speaker has had more than enough time to watch the pride rot and succumb to corruption, particularly nepotism. The upwards mobility and variety that once existed in the Stormborn vanished when the eldest took advantage of their positions and deliberately became selective. He blames this seeping corruption for the disillusion within the Freeborn and the seeming resignation that "Reaving" is the only option.

He has made it his life goal to change that, his solemn duty to shift this tide and remind Freeborn that the heart of the pride is inside it. While Reavers might play a role, they are not the most significant o the species. Consequently he has traditional views and firmly believes that females should remain at home where they can have their children when they want, but also where they can ensure their influence is most felt. Similarly, for those males less inclined to hunt for glory and riches, he believes that more work should be done to encourage them in to other disciplines.

He is diplomatic about this, but unwavering in his belief and would actively use his influence to twist the arm of any lion that would seek to convinceh im that a female should be allowed outside.

...Just like others, he's seen the females of the pride use that exploration for one reason only, and it hasn't been glory. This obsession with Reaving has left more than capable freeborn without a mate, and he considers this unacceptable, the very females of the pride have shunned their own kind in pursuit of something of lesser blood. This speaks volumes about the judgement of these females, and the respect they have for their own kind.

Interestingly, he's incredibly kind and respectful to those who do actively promote the traditionalist mindset, even those who seek to be slightly more progressive and make subtle changes. Some change is good, but a complete and categoric shift at the expense of your own nation is completely unacceptable... This is a lesson that all females (and even their more modern male counterparts), must learn.

Character Name: Simbi
Character Image:



View: Traditional (But Pragmatic)
Why?:
He's on his way towards Lawspeaker after securing the tutelage of Thron. Like the First Speaker, he sees the potential for Stormborn to become great again...if only they'd remember who they truly are. He's tried Reaving, he did so under Tethys's tutelage, and it simply wasn't for him. This wasn't through weakness, simply that he had no great desire in partake in the glory hunting... To him, there's already too many cooks and they've been spoiling the broth for a long time.

He seeks to reinvigorate the Stormborn just as his mentor does, and the only way he can do that, is to remind everyone that they are just as important as those who explore outside. If anything, those who determine policy and raise the next generations, are significantly more important than those who are away for most of their existence.

While he will accept the existence of female Reavers, he doesn't regard them as appropriate...

He was raised in a modern family, but that doesn't mean he hasn't been exposed to the views of others in his time in the pride, hence his own personal views and his ability to concede that on this occasion, some of the views of the traditionalists are correct.

Character Name: Hakon
Character Image:



View: Traditional (But Pragmatic)
Why?:
He was raised as a traditionalist, but his views are the same as Simbi and his mentor Thron's. He too is actively pursuing a career as a Lawspeaker, with much the same intentions as well. It is absolutely imperative that the Freeborn begin to realise that they are of greater significance than the Reavers and it is they who change and shape the pride... Not those who seek trinkets.

Afterall, it seems that the purpose of the Reavers has also been forgotten, given that so few thralls are brought back. If anything, more Freeborn children appear, than anything that helps to underpin and hold together the very fibre of the pride. More mouths to feed, with significantly less paws to ensure there's something to give them.

...It's a recipe for disaster, and the females are in large part a problem for that given their insistence on bedding anything that moves outside!

Unlike Simbi, he's more abrasive when expressing his opinion and may come across as arrogant.

Character Name: Lofn
Character Image:



View: Modern (With Traditionalist Leanings)
Why?:
She was raised at a time when Tethys was much more liberal in his views, and her father was likely to side with this as well. Her mother was and remains pragmatic, but has also been known to observe and draw her own opinions. Lofn was encouraged to draw from the same observations and make her own decisions... But she was raised to be slightly more liberal and to dream big.

...That was until she was torn down to earth on her Viking.

She was exposed to the reality that some Stormborn aren't kind, to them she's less important and a burden. It was this assault on the sense that made her sit back and collect herself, while musing over what she had experienced and what she was used to seeing.

The result is a lioness who believes that lionesses should be given some measure of freedom, but one that also concedes there is some truth to the abuse and the opinions other might have. She's not quite sure where she sits beyond that, but as someone who can't Reave (it's not in her skill set), she would like greater opportunities within the pride to make a difference... Thus, a shift towards more traditional roles and a chance to play in the social fabric of the pride is something she would embrace.

Character Name: Naberius
Character Image:



View: Modern!
Why?:
Fiercely independent and with enough of her father's abrasive personality in her, she believes she's entitled to the same things her father has acquired in his time. Unfortunately, this also comes attached to a rather difficult personality which has led her in to trouble more than once. She's not diplomatic at all, so she might be a little too forceful and turn people against her views just on principle alone.

She believes females should be allowed to do as they please, even if that means going outside in search of what they define as glory.

[Epine de Rose]

Character Name: Naima
Character Image:



View: Modern (Traditionalist Leanings)
Why?:
She was a lioness who came from the outside, a world where freedom of choice for all was paramount. Nevertheless her time in the Stormborn draws on, she has acknowledged that there has been a remarkable shift towards leaving the land, rather than staying in it. It seems the modern generation, particularly females, are obsessed with escaping as quickly as possible... It's as though no love exists for the pride anymore.

As such, while she appreciates some females may have wanderlust that they want to embrace, she's prepared to accept that something needs to be done to temper the flow and restore the heart of the pride to its former glory. She's no politician and has no idea how that would even begin, but she would be willing to support some changes in policy in order to promote it.

She would, however, be apprehensive about completely removing the freedom of females to facilitate this restoration.

[Krysin]

Character Name: Calypso
Character Image:
View: Modern (though good luck getting her to admit that...)
Why?: She doesn't really want to rock the boat too hard, but being raised outside of the Stormborn has a massive influence on her own beliefs. Calypso does not believe she is incapable of anything and should have all the opportunity to do whatever she pleases with her own life. Right now she's laying low in the pride and just trying to adjust to a new life.

Character Name: Domeykite
Character Image:
View: Traditional
Why?: He has always viewed females as the 'home makers', and is not afraid to express as much. Domeykite enjoys the idea of being able to leave the females at home and trust them to take care of the pride and the youth so he can go out and have his fun. Being a Traditionalist will benefit him the most, in his opinion.
