Gee.. favorite characters. I've had so many..
Suhuba She was the first char I -ever- had and she was a wild dog that I started on TLK MUCK back in 1997.. Yes that's when I started mucking, go on and to the math I've been around to long I think. Anyway she was a spit fire and always got into trouble when ever she got the chance it seemed to me. I never really killed her off, suppose she just died.
Machwa I remember when I first started playing him. He was Ewali's first son who was born with a speech problem. Don't remember why that happened, but it was interesting to have none the less. He finally got his voice when he was older and met a lioness Sheena. They had three cubs and Feleti was able to become Queen of Kimondo. Im not sure at all why I stopped playing him, I know I was have issues in my life around then but I always loved Machwa as he was my first lion char I ever played. I think I did it rather well to.
Tona She was the first Queen of Mbaamwezi, which she and her mate Onyataa started. Her father was Akeeto, one who started the Barbary gene and also something more sinister. Onyataa happened to be blind but he and Tona still had a good live and everything seemed to work out. I'm not sure at all what happened to there two kids, Mviko and Rajua but born did it have good affects on the MUCK I suppose with the stuff they did. Tona was a great fighter in her youth and did her best to care for her cubs. She never knew what she did wrong, even so she still loved them both as they were her only cubs after all. She and Onya both died at the paws of there own son though. Tona was a char I liked because she didn't take anything from anyone, and she was the first and only Queen char I ever got to play.
Aaith She was one of Zahra (II) and Tuzo's daughter's. I lik her because Kimondo was the pride that started all the white genes really and she was actually a ruddy red color, very out of the norm but I liked playing something different. She was there when her grandfather Tau died at the paws of another lion who then basicly took over I believe. She ran off into the juncle and was bitten a few times by a rather posions spider or snake which took her sight instead of her life. This left her to not be able to leave Kimondo and basicly depend on everyone else in the pride. I liked her because of her being that black sheep of sorts when it came to being a different color, and the fact she was blind I suppose. Don't see many of them around. She's still alive at the moment, one rather old and at times cranky lioness.
Jubela Daughter of Rajua and Sharvi and grandaughter of Tona and Onya. She acted much like her grandmother Tona in the fact she never gave up on anything easily, and was very hard headed. Her mother and sisters acted pretty much the same as they where rather crazy, though for some reason Jubela seemed to be spared this crazied life, as if her grandmother was trying to protect at least one of them. When her mother's dear friend Unuzmi attempted to kill her Jubela fled to Kimindo where her dear cousin Xian and his mate Nyesha took her in. She always felt like an outsider there so never had any srong ties with anyone. Which I wish didn't happen.. I really enjoyed RPing her it just seemed to go into a rut and I never got back out of it.. She's still alive but I have a feeling she is going to return home to Mbaamwezi where she will most likely meet her end soon..
Demissle I have to say something about Dem.. He was my first shot and being a King and I truely enjoyed everytime I got the chance to RP with him, I only wish there was more of it. He was the first son to Anubis and Sakitu, and became King of Kimondo. I was and still am thrilled that I got the chance to be King there.. He is a rather interesting colored lion, mostly white but with a good many other colors included. And during a fight with Mviko he pretty much lost his voice, actually he was very lucky to live through that. His nick name became the whisper king beause all he can talk after that battle was in a whisper. I truely wish I could have accomplised more with him, but alias it did not work out the way I wished.. He'll always be one of my favorite's though.
So ya, there are some of my chars that really stood out in my mind. There are plenty of others but I figured I would just keep it to TLK type of MUCKs or I might be here all night. XD

Unzumi, of course. I think she's had about three lioness reincarnations, maybe even more, who knows? I mean, she's been normal, psychotic, crazy, a killer, a murderer, a backstabber (poor Tau), a flirt (poor, poor Mviko), a barbary, a trainer of cublings... and I'm sure there are other things that I'm neglecting for some reason or another.
Second favorite would have to be Safihi. Though, Mguu' was her real creator in the grand scheme of things, I loved bringing her to life.

Favorite characters... (I must be bored. Well, atop the list is definitely Balana off of TLK. She started things, and as of now she's still going even after 9 RL years and in her later years in terms of the muck. (Hey, I had to have at least one offspring that survived!) There's little that she's not seen or done, and now she's playing the wise motherly/grandmotherly figure. Nabana on here is probably another one that's pretty high up there. He was always trying to be everybody's knight in shining armor, and tended to be an ear for the troubles of lionesses even when he was young. I still remember him kind of being the ringleader of the juveniles that were running around at the time. Nabana off of TLK/AL was a bit more of your typical playboy, and he's alright (but don't take over his lands or he'll make you nottamale anymore) but Nabana off here knew a lot more about honor and being faithful and such. I've had a great many other characters over the years, but no other real favorites come to mind at the moment.

Oh my, where to begin? Well, at the top I guess. EwaliDuh. Definitely my main character. I was young then, and looking back at a lot of my logs I wince. I love his character, but I would have done many things differently if I could play him all over again. Nevertheless, at the time I had a lot of fun with him. I've never achieved so much with a character as I did with him. Him and his life and the King/Father role was a source of a lot of OOC frustrations too, at times, but mostly it was fun. Ewali as a concept was... Hm. I wanted a character with a 'object' name, like Scar, you know, a nick-name that's not a real name. I decided on 'Shade'. Original, I know. Of course the strict naming rules on the Mucks at the time prevented you from using any real English words as a name, so I had to find him another name, his REAL name. It was not Ewali originally... It was Chukizo, meaning 'annoying thing' or 'disgusting thing' in Swahili. From there came the whole story of his tragic childhood, his mother who died giving birth to him, the father who hated him and abused him (and gave him his name), eventually injured him badly and scarred him for life, then he ran away... and began his life on African Tails Muck. I won't bore you with the details, you all know how he eventually ended up, but his life from thereon was a whole pile of angst and issues. He never quite got over his childhood, and he never quite got over the other things that happened to him either (such as losing several of his cubs). Yeah. Angst is fun. Oh, and how did he end up as Ewali? At one point he decided he wanted a proper name that didn't mean anything horrible, he wanted it to start on 'E' in honour of his mother Eleza, and yeah. TarliaTarlia was a name I made up one day over eight years ago on my way home from school. I was 14 then. Haha, wow. She then became a lioness cub on TLKM, and later there were other 'versions' of her on ATM/Sunrise, as well as one or two other Mucks. She was only my third character ever, I believe, and my first female. Her concept was pretty much '...really really beautiful lioness'. Yeah, I know, lame. But it didn't actually affect RP much, I didn't use her looks in every pose or anything idiotic like that. She was quite a lot of fun, both on TLKM and her first ATM version, but alas her RP was lost in time and lack of interest. She never became as great a character as Ewali was to me, but she's still the closest I have to an online alter-ego. I used her name in a lot of places (forums, chats, etc), actually I still do. But not as a lioness, I simply use her name. 'Cause I don't believe in "fursonas". Jani'UziwaI love her design (I draw) and I loved her character, although I pretty much only RPed her with one person, a very awesome person who I'm not in touch with so much anymore, which is sad. She was a mysterious and unusual lioness, and I regret I didn't get to explore her more. (TLKM character.) KanziSuper-angsty meerkat male. He's.. been all over the place, really, he started out on the Prides Muck, but has also been on ATM/Sunrise, in e-mail and MSN RP. Also another character I RPed mostly with one or two people (the main one being Keham/Ciggu, if you know her.) He was based on Squall from FF8, which, if you know the game, should explain the level of angst. Me and Keham greatly enjoyed torturing him to no end. We're nice people, really. SodawiAh, he kind of failed at adult life, poor Soda-pop... mostly because I was neglectant of him at the time. I failed you all in my second attempt at Kingship, too... I'm sorry, guys! Nevertheless, Sodawi was lots of fun as a cub, he was such a snotty, snobby, arrogant little bastard, and I loved him. Him and Katiti, his meerkat best friend, were a horrible little duo. He wasn't bad at heart, though, just... inherited his mother (Samawati's) sense of trouble. Unfortunately I didn't get to get back at Sammy as much as I wanted to (she was Ewali's daughter), as she was very inactive during Soda's cubhood. Instead Soda' bothered his father Mguu' to no end until Mguu' left his responsibility to Mentasha, the... rather sadistic nanny. As I don't believe beating anything into kids actually works, Mentasha didn't achieve much but make him afraid. He only finally began to understand when he got lost on one of his adventures and Mguuyasiku came to find him. Then he grew up to an adolescent and suddenly he had the attention of several young lionesses. >D Salinaka won though, and his adolescence was fun to RP too, even if Katiti slipped away from him. It was only after they had cubs that I stopped RPing him much... oh well. Sigh. Honourable mentions:Wabi (TLK; first character ever! Lion) Qela (First ATM character, lioness), Zahra (ATM, Tau's daughter, Nishati's mother), Fioa (ATM/Sunrise, Kasama & Binstari's daughter, Tisea II's aunt), Fahari (Sunrise, Fioa's son)... Yeah.

I remember one of my first ever RPs - might have even been my first EVER RP - Ewali was there at the Pridelands waterhole. I had Aradu there.. and there was.. Zerel.. and some male cub Aradu later tried to beat up. And.. another time, in Kivuli, I think, there was.. a zebra stampede or something? Aradu and Samawati were in it and Ewali came.. my memory gets fuzzy about it all, but it was something like that. XD
Soda! Mkaa' totally looked up to him and absolutely adored him.. even if it never got showed too much because of lack of activity on everyones parts. I do clearly remember her being very excited when she asked Soda' if they could go visit Mguu' in Tyne (Tufani) and he said they could. XD

I remember A zebra stampede, but that was when Soda' was a cub. However, Sammy getting in trouble was nothing new. I DO remember Aradu from when she was a cub, hanging out in the Pride Lands. The 'find' list wasn't very big back then. I think Ewali spent more time at the water hole than his own lands sometimes. And yeah, it's a shame we didn't get to RP more during Soda's era... that trip to Tyne ended up being the last thing Sodawi did.

One of my first TLK RPs was Malaika's BIRTH and I remember it VERY vividly because of all the blood and wet and Kaia-screaming. Oh, the trauma!

Hey, you forgot to mention Kiisha! Was she yours? Or was she really your sister's?
Edit: I mean, in that other thread, with the 'first ever characters'. Sry.

Like Surovi, Kiisha wasn't originally mine, I just came in on the tail-end (HAHA OMG PUN) of her. Then one day I looked at her desc saw that, for some bizarre reason, she was PINK. ...... And excuse me, but I didn't have a lot of motivation to run around as a PINK lioness. XDD Edit: My sister is dumb.

She wasn't pink, as far as I remember, but a... light red. I know she came across kinda pink in my drawings though. I did the best I could.

She doesn't qualify as an all-time favorite (not yet, anyway) but one who is quickly worming her way into my heart as one of my favorite current characters is Khamisa.
Khamisa started out as a puppet. The Kiet/Saibh royal litter was mostly males, so to even it out, I was going to spoof a female cub who would - because we were about to enter the Ice Age TP at the time - die along the way to the Forgotton Lands due to the cold weather. So, I made the puppet/object and gave her a quick little description and that was that. But she sounded SO CUTE.. and heck, I was going to kill her off.. so I figured she needed a PICTURE. As a sort of tribute, you know?
Yeah. Bad idea. XD
Everyone was teasingly giving me a hard time about how I was going to kill off the cute little bundle of fuzz.. and after having drawn the picture, I kinda fell in love with her myself. So I created her as an actual character.. telling myself I'd play her up to her juvenile stage.. but that she'd be sickly all through cubhod and would die as a juvenile.
So, her juvenile stage came and went.. and Khamisa, now an adult, is thriving. XD Her cubhood illness has had an impact on her - she is small (stunted growth) and she can't run a lot or she starts coughing real bad and such. Since she wouldn't make a great huntress thanks to all that, she is Kivuli's pride historian.. a job that she absolutely loves (and that I OOCly love, because I've been around for most of Kivuli's history and what I don't know I can always ask Ewali) so she's always got summat to say about stuff.. and it's cool being able to bring up names from the past like she's learned about them somewhere along the line. Not only that, but Khammy is a real sweetheart. Her view on the world has recently changed a smidge (thanks to a BOY who OMG she thought was SO ANNOYING but unfortunately RIGHT *cough*Raiyan*cough*) and it's looking like her future will be quite interesting indeed. I can't wait. XD
By the by.. does anyone else totally love realizing that a new character is becoming one of your favorites? I do. For some reason, it just feels awesome. XD

I swear that in her desc, Kiisha was described as 'pink' when I got her. Ewali, you're a wonderful artist! My sister's just ... weird. And we're all glad she doesn't RP anymore.
