Panthera

First topic message reminder :

In the African plains, the zebra graze calmly, their foals playing chase between the adults’ legs. The stripy Equines are relaxed, not knowing that their archenemy is waiting in the grasses only a few metres away. However, this enemy will not kill a mere zebra today; she has far more important prey to catch.
A lioness waits in the grass, swishing her tail impatiently. Her sandy pelt, covered with dust, provides perfect camouflage. She is still, like a statue, ready to pounce on her quarry, the wolf a few metres away. A bird calls from a tree behind her, and her amber eyes look up anxiously, her heart skipping a beat, however, seeing nothing, she calms and focuses back on her prey. She moves towards it, slipping through the grasses. She must not be seen, and not be heard; for the Canid will notice her and run. She cannot afford that. Her cubs are starving, and she must kill today.
The mother lion’s right ear twitches as she hears the roar of another lion nearby. Her heart goes into her mouth as she sees the wolf look up, snarling at the creature. She will have to do it now, for else it could be too late and the wolf will have gone.
The lioness’ paws thud against the ground as she gains speed, not caring anymore. Her muscles strain. When she is near enough she pounces, her razor-sharp claws extended, ready to slice into the flesh of her prey. A roar escapes her lips, her golden eyes loose all their intelligence, and in their place is the fabled red mist of old, of the mighty, deadly predators in their element.

Welcome to Panthera, a feline big cat RolePlay. The RolePlay is set in a fictional landmass named the Shadow Lands by the human inhabitants which live on the outskirts. There are many different terrains in this area, from mountains to plains, and it is famous for it's many breeds of felines which live there.

Right then, onto the felines your character can be. To avoid wasting time, any type of feline's allowed. If I list them all we'll all be ninety years old and probably not interested after having waited all that time, so yeah.

The usual stuff (like different coloured eyes, etc) is okay, just avoid flying, pink tigers with multicoloured wings with a marking on it which looks exactly like a white parrot in flight, please. Albinos, etc are okay. All the TFC rules apply, so nothing inappropriate.

Taryn sighed and lay down, closing her eyes to go to sleep, but quickly re-opened them when she remembered the remains of the carcass outside. She frowned slightly and stood up. "I will be right back" she assured Rhedyn with a wink and padded out of the den. She located the carcass and started to drag it further away from the make-shift den, incase some other animal wandered over to eat it. The tiger started to dig another hole to hide it in, but there was still a reasonable portion of food left. She looked back over to where Joey and the snow leopard where. I wonder when the last time they ate was... she looked back at the water buck. I don't think we will need it... She looked over again and started to drag it closer to the site she had seen the two.

Joey smiled to Tundra,"Don't worry about them, they're just playing." Smiling he lied down.



(In roleplay Joey a tiger is talking with Tundra after having an encounter with the white tiger Taryn. After leaving Taryn met Rhedyn the jaguar. They have been playing for a while and made aden i believe. Savira is walking alone expecting cubs.)

Taryn catiuosly dropped the prey a safe distance away from the cave and trotted back to Rhedyn with her tail swaying happily behind her. She padded wistfully into the den, moving her head in a slight zig zag pattern and hummig "Dun dun.....dun dun....dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun...."

Rhedyn hardly registered Taryn go as she was half asleep. The female was then awoken by Taryn's voice and she grumbled placing her paws over her ears and going back to sleep

Taryn cringed. She hadn't meant to wake her up, so she tip toed the rest of the way in. She settled down and placed her head on her paws, but still felt fidgety and couldn't get to sleep. She let a little sigh escape from her mouth.

i was wondering i my character could be an extinct species of big cat, i was planning to be a cave lion, the biggest kind of cat that ever lived

(You're accepted Graystar! Phoenix, do you mind if we stay with extant felines?)

Tundra nodded. "....Okay." She was a little nervous, seeing unknown felines so close to her home. Having lived in solitude for most of her life, seeing so many cats in one short space of time was rather overwhelming, and so she retreated into the den, and curled up against the wall. "Do you want to go hunting later?" she asked Joey, to break the silence.

Joey looked at Tundra, "Of course, lets rest first so we have lots of energy later." Winking he lied his head down.

Taryn Rose to her paws with a stretch. She had been drifting in and out of a light sleep, and now, feeling refreshed and full of energy, she padded out of the den. A cloud of icy breath puffed out of her mouth, and she looked around to see if there was any sign danger nearby.

Rhedyn lifted her head as Taryn walked out of the den and she stretched her jaws wide in a yawn. Standing up she shook her pelt and stretched each individual leg in turn.

Taryn flopped down onto her side and started to roll around in the snow. A little squeak of joy escaped from her mouth and she began to make a snow angel.

Rhedyn padded out of then den and chuckled watching Taryn. She then scanned the area, looking for something but not quite sure what it was she was searching for.

Into the soft glowing green forest she padded down the trail. Snow crunching under her paws melting away slowly. Stopping at a gathering off rocks she slid behind them and into the dip under them. Light still showering the icey and cool den softly. Another pain came she closed her eyes tight curling her tail letting out deep and slow breaths.

Tundra nodded and curled up once more, her fluffy tail curled around her nose.

-Tundra is now asleep-

Taryn looks up with a smile at Rhedyn and flicks her tail happily. "Hello sleepy head!" she teases and jumps up to her paws.

Tundra snored, kicking her leg as she dreamt.

After an hour of rest the pain faded slowly as she stood. Making her way out into the dark pink tinted forest. The leaves quivered and flew to the groung slowly. Her head was still fuzzy from sleep and the light shocked her eyes. Feeling snow begin to crunch lightly beneath her paws she shivered. Jade bounded ahead to a near by stream crouching and lapping the cold fresh water.

Hearing growls of two cats she growled under her breath she was curious but alert she couls tell on of them was a Also a snow leopard and female she she stalked them she couldnt really make out the words but she paded out presenting her self without aggresiton but sat and waited for a reply from either one of them
