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.

Rhedyn chuckled and then padded around outside, looking out at the scenery knowing she stood out like a soar thumb against the white background.

Spinning around and slowly trotting off towards the sunset land. The place the sun takes its rest then sprouts at the opposite end. Half way she fell to her feet panting it was time for her cubs to be born. After twenty minutes of convulsions finally letting out a grunt the first cub came out. It was three hours until each of the three cubs were born cleaned and fed. Slowly wrapping her body around them weak and tired she fell asleep.

Swishing her tail she said i am saphira and who might you be staring at the snow leopard with large blue eyes that pierced her soul

Taryn smiled at Rhedyn cheekily and got ready to pounce, but she paused and whipped her head around with her ears erect on her head. "Did you hear that?" she asked Rhedyn. "Or was it just me going crazy?!" she chuckled and pulled a goofy face.

Rhedyn looked at Taryn and nodded. She dropped into the snow and covered her pelt in it making her white.

Taryn nodded back and crouched down before pushing off with her back legs and sliding across the snow covered ground like a penguin for a few meters. She popped her head up above the snow to see ahead before pushing off again, sliding forward a little more, leaving a gouge like wake behind her.

Lifting her head and twitching her tail as her three cubs suckled. They pushed their tiny paws into her plump belly. Grooming each one once again before carrying them to the bramble den.

Walking past she noticed some cubs but kePt away
A feline should not interfear with others cubs

Quickly chasing down a young water buck she dragged what she could back to the den. Nearing the entrance she growled as she spotted another cat a few feet away. Keeping her eyes on the cubs she trotted over and began tearing into the fresh and tender flesh.

The other feline caught her eye so she stood there motionless and saw her drag a buffalo back to her den
She quickley dashed off and bumped into something but fell back and closed her eyes

Sneering as the other female scampered off she licked her muzzle. Looking at the cubs and nuzzling each one. She purred and continued her meal chewing slowly.

She saw her sneer and did the same then trotted off in a bad mood
She was thinking of having pups but seemed like too much trouble then she sihned and sat down to think

Crawling into the den it was just after high noon. Hot and bright outside, running her tongue over her pelt and letting the dry breeze cool her. Fanning the cubs with her tail softly while watching the plains.

Taryn frowned a little as she saw the grayish-white pelt of the animal that had made the noise slink away; she had been looking forward to some sort of action. She sat up straight, the snow covered the stripes on her fur, making them hardly visible.

Rhedyn gave an evil smile and launched herself at Taryn, knocking the other feline over and pinning her down playfully. "I could tell you were disappointed." She chuckled and got a firmer grip on Taryn.

Hearing wresling cats she look at the clearing and saw two felines scrabbaling in a ball of wirling fur

Taryn growled playfully and, being the bigger cat, she rolled over, bringing Rhedyn with her so that she was now the one pinned. She grinned before replying, "Yeah, but who knows? Maybe we can find something else to do." A mischievous glint entered her eyes.

She noticed the bigger one was pinned down and thought tough luck then she paded away to explore the rest of the area

Emerging from the den she let her cubs suckle as she bathed in a pool of warm sunlight. It was nearing dusk and it was beginning to cool down outside. She curled her tail around her cubs and glanced at the felines in the distance rolling her eyes.

Noticing no more cats she paded back from where she came from then saw that rude looking cat she saw before then rolled her eyes and went to see the two cats who were trying to pin each other down

Growling lightly as the cat passed by and made her way towards the other cats. Picking up her cubs and setting them in the den she made her way to the hill not even 20 feet away from the den. Sitting and watching the other cats wrestling.

Laughing she saw the other feline pad in nearby then she sneered at her then paded away farther away from the cat
But still able to see the fight

Scoffing as the female from earlier sneered and padded further away. She shuffled her paws and glanced back at the den. Opening her jaws and wafting in the air promising some rain. Shaking her pelt and swiping her tongue over her muzzle.

Pading away she noticed it started raining
Apparently her coat shed the water like a ducks feathers and the rain shimered on her coat

Quickly bounding back to the den and hushing her cubs mews. Curling around them as rain trickled through the room lightly. Falling asleep once again after humming a soft melody.
