The Lion King Challenge; a playthrough


medicine cat

Recommended Posts

Here's how it goes.
1. Prides are ruled by one king or queen. The firstborn of this king or queen is the heir, who will take over when the king/queen dies.
2. Some lions may leave their birth pride at adulthood, but don't have to. Most lionesses stay in their birth pride.
3. Wanderer males are welcomed in the pride if there are plenty of females, but if no one is interested or there are already enough males, wanderers will usually be fought off by the resident males.
4. The current king and queen and their heir are marked alphas. Normal pride members are Betas, and wanderers into the pride are omegas until they settle down and have children of their own with a native pride member.
5. When a new heir takes over, other challengers of the same sex can fight them for their position.

Survival is similar to my Warriors Challenge:
If a lion or lioness is injured fighting a predator (or a wanderer/rogue), get out a random generator and set it from 1-.
If you get 1 : easy wound. this pride member can continue with their normal duties unharmed for the most part.
2 : medium wound : needs a few days of rest.
3 : fatal wound ; delete the pride member/drown them/find a way to get rid of them bc they're dead

If a lion or lioness gets sick:
1. Easy illness. Just rest some and they will be fine.
2. Hard illness. Doesn't kill them, but knocks them off their feet for quite a while
3. Fatal illness ; kills the pride member

I'll be starting the playthrough here, so the first post will be up momentarily.

Our pride starts with our very first king; the randomly generated, story-mode king Hamadi. He is sassy and much of a prankster, but when he has to make decisions to effect his pride, he is very careful and fearful of doing the wrong thing.
Hamadi's wife is named Zahur. Zahur is excitable and sweet and has some quirks that make her stand out in a crowd.

Hamadi and Zahur, after some courting, decide that it is time to have a family. The start of this family brings forth the kingdom's very first heir. This heir turns out to be the beautiful Neema. Neema has the same concern for her pride as her father, but is more relaxed. She prides herself in her bravery.

The pride moves to new territory. To celebrate this, Zahur and Hamadi have another cub- Moyo. Moyo is rash and is quick to make a decision. However, he is pretty quiet and introverted, preferring to be left alone to do whatever he's planning.

The king and queen die while Moyo is still young, so Neema takes her place as queen and raises Moyo for most of his youth. Therefore, they are pretty close.
After a long time searching, Moyo and Neema find Kito, a young male without a mate. He is calm and serious. Since Neema is old, she quickly becomes his mate and has a cub with him. They have Princess Hasina. She is quiet and timid, and a bit insecure. Even when Neema dies and Hasina becomes queen, she retains her humble nature.

While travelling her territory one day, Queen Hasina finds Maji. Maji is an orphaned and sickly adolescent lioness. She is jolly, though, and is adamant to survive. She eagerly accepts Hasina's offer to join her pride.

Moyo dies of old age. Queen Hasina is shaken pretty badly by the loss. Maji, who has become her close friend, watches her in her grief and tries to help her talk through her feelings.
"It seems you were rather close to him. I guess that's normal, though, for an uncle."
"It was far more than that," Hasina reflects, flicking her tail. "You see, my mother, Neema, raised him when their parents died. Therefore, the two of them were very close. When my mother died when I was just a cub, Moyo swore to care for me in order tor return the favor. He and I were very close."
"Oh." Maji shifts slightly, unsure of how to comfort her. "I promise you will get through, your majesty. I'm with you every step of the way."

The clan is joined by Penda. He is quirky, bashful, and a tad lonely. He falls in love with Queen Hasina.
"My lady," says he, bowing low to the ground, "If you only give me the privelege of being your humble lover, then I will follow you all the days of my life."
Embarrassed but honored, Hasina allows him to become her mate and king of the pride.

Soon, the two of them have a cub. She is named Princess Sikudanhi. Sikudanhi is modest and accepting of others.

The birth of Sikudanhi is followed by the birth of her younger sister, Mamini. Mamini is a tough, accepting lioness who always tries to tell the truth, even if it gets her in trouble or makes her look mean.

Finally, Hasina and Penda have Safiri. Safiri is an adventurer with a pure heart. He is quick to look for fun, and is at his core gentle and a bit naive.

It cannot be said that his naivety lasts long, though, for when he is still a cub, a bearyena attacks the pride. It kills the princess and her father, leaving the rest of the pride devastated. This makes Mamini the new princess. Hasina dies, and she takes over as queen Mamini.
Time goes on, and Mamini still does not see any potential mates around the pride territory. Safiri is rather shocked when he sees that Mamini is pregnant.
"Mamini, are you having a cub? You've never hid anything from me before."
"I am having a cub," she says. "But if you wanted to know, you should have asked. I am having a cub with a predator."
"A bearyena? You're insane!" Safiri flattens his ears. "That same kind killed our father, and now you're here trying to make it our next heir?"
"You don't even know him yet, Safiri," snaps the lioness. "And if you refuse to submit to such a ruler, go on, but I'm not having you in my pride if that's the case." Leaving her brother stunned, she goes back to her den.
Safiri admits that he cannot accuse the cub of doing anything wrong once he sees it curled up next to its mother after its birth.
"His name is Anasa," she says, licking her cub. Ashamed by his judgemental behavior, Safiri vows that he will always protect the prince.
Prince Anasa grows up to be a fine young lion. He's very relaxed and has the adventurous heart of his uncle. They become very close.

Admittedly, Queen Mamini wishes that she would have found another mate of her own kind. As if the stars have answered her prayers, a new male enters the pride by the name of Hali. Eccentric and Sassy, he prides himself on being genuine and unique. This attracts Mamini to him. They become mates, making Hali king.

Hali and Mamini have a cub of their own and name her Kibibi. She is gentle and mild, but can hold her own in a fight and never complains about hard work.

Mamini dies, and Asana takes his place as king.
After some days of looking, a new female comes into the pride. She's named Saada. She is careful and a survivor, though not the most beautiful lioness. She becomes the mate of Asana.

Soon, Saada has a cub with Asana. After a few tries they have a beautiful lion cub named Issa. Prince Issa loves making others happy but he is a bit shy.

Not long after they have another son named Tambo. Tambo is determined and bold, but is humble.
