October 11, 2024 Something is happening in the Scorched Wilds. There is a battle raging between a familiar force and an unfamiliar one. What will you do? Help or hinder?

October 1, 2024 Spooky things are happening as the afterlife start walking among the living once again.

September 30, 2024 Louve Dieudonné manages to keep Wolfbron Bluffs in the family. What will happen between the Bluffs and the otherwise peaceful pride of Lorien Plains?

September 20, 2024 Ilarion Rurik challenges for Wolfbron, will the Dieudonné lead pride fall?

September 8, 2024War broke out once again in the Lagoon when a wedding had some uninvited guest arrive. The war results in the most death matches the island has seen at once. The Summit was challenged by Brighid with Talisa answering the call. After many years of the Summit have the same two leaders, the Summit changes hands. What will this mean for the balance of Amaryllis? A witch hunt has started by Luther and Miaran which seems to be turning things on an island that is full of magic.

August 25, 2024 War broke out in the challenge for the Lagoon after Cassius tries to take the Lagoon from Isla. The Cove remains with Miaran. The leadership of the Mire switches from Sigrún hold to Rike when Luther comes back to take his birthland back. Elephants push into the Rainforest and push out the lions there. Soon after Lucifer lays claim to his birthland and takes over the Rainforest.

June 27, 2024 Conflict and tensions rise as prides come head-to-head with one another across Amaryllis - just as Pyrrha and Cassius take the leap to try and claim (or reclaim) their own thrones.

May 24, 2024 Rulers continue to shift, family strife ensues, and, per usual, tensions seems taunt and always lingering on the horizon.

April 24, 2024 Things are rocky within Amaryllis as the Dieudonne clash result in three deaths and forces a shift in the rulership of Firnen Rainforest. With Caladan Cove freshly overturned as well, what will the consequenecss of these events be?

March 30, 2024 The lull has ended as a long standing family, the Dieudonné, launch death matches against their own. The Plains sees a challenge from a new comer, Aphrodite, and the quite pride is pushed into the spotlight.

March 19, 2024 A momentary lull has overtaken the lands of Amaryllis as its inhabitants attempt to find their footing and rebuild after a string of challenges. How long it will last, however, nobody can be quite sure.

February 11, 2024 The Mire has fallen from the Stärke family and is now held by Luther Rike. The change has stirred but the fighting nature of those on the island. The Brook finds a new leader with Icefang and Isla takes over the Lagoon after a storm pushes out the old leader. Reti finds himself the leader of the Hollows after Alexander is hurt. The Oasis finds a new leader in Léonie who is soon tested by Harou.

January 8, 2024 The snow has finally begun to melt anew, which means that the world is slowly returning to the much-anticipated summer season. With the various holiday activities and the other jests put on by Nafasi also coming to a close, it is safe to say that winter is finally over.

December 5th, 2023 Nafasi had pulled a cruel trick and has sent Amaryllis back into a renewed winter season! But it's not all bad, because the lands will also see a handful of holiday-themed events popping up as a result. To make things more interesting, a wayward trio of travlers have also arrived and are facilitating a mass competition between the prides, bands, and rogues -- formally dubbed the Amaryllis Winter Games.

December 2nd, 2023 The spring air brings forth a number of pride challenges. A familiar challenger for the Cove and the Oasis arrive to try to earn what they want. The new leader of the Lagoon is tested in battle as well. What changes will come from the challenges? Who will remain standing and who will find their world turned upside down?

November 27th, 2023 In a challenge between mother and daughter, the leadership of Wolfbron Bluff changes for the first time in 5 IC years.

November 22nd, 2023 Two death matches, one resurrection, and an almost-war later, the lands find themselves in a constant state of turmoil and calamity. Families have been torn apart and endless blood has been spilt; but how is it all going to end?

November 3rd, 2023 The lands stir violently as a death match rages on between Aeistrios Saxe and Morrigan Greyflood. Observers spill into the pit in droves to witness what will no doubt be a historic battle -- and it is clear that this familial fued is far from over, no matter who wins and who dies.

October 12th, 2023 With winter comes the surge of more pride challenges; Ludivine challenges Ryker for Firnen Rainforest and is victorious in her endeavors, meanwhile an outcropping of maims breaks out on the sidelines. In a shocking turn of events Luther returns to challenge Bruno for Ecrosia Mire, will the former heir prove victorious or has Bruno got what it takes to keep his brother's ambitions at bay? This has undoubtedly shaken things up as Bruno declares war against Andal Oasis and Allies in the process!

Aeistrios Saxe & Sersie Drake


What happens when you shove two chaotic forces together? Cubs, chaotic little demonic children, happen. After a business like transaction between the Andal King and Sersie, his lead fighter (promoted to noble) it has become clear that the tripod is now bearing saxe children.

****Before you progress, please be aware that the upbringing of these cubs will not be a loving one. It will be full of harsh, abusive topics and action. There is potential for even the extremes of maim/mutilation. If these topics or kinds of plots bother you in any way, I highly recommend looking elsewhere~ If you are totally cool with darker ended plots, please plow on ahead! ****

Naming conventions are typical Saxe methods of combining both parents name to create a new one. In addition, Sersie prefers Greek names, or names that begin with an S. These children will bear the Saxe name and the social brand that comes with it.

In addition, Sersie will consider any weakness a failure. If you choose to have your cubs be fully blind, there is a chance they will get the brunt of her ire. If not be totally left to fend for themselves at some point or another. Especially if she feels there is no way they can fully contribute to the Pride itself.

Sersie genetics: Dark points on ankles, paws and face, Dark eye circles, Dark chin, underjaw and neck, Forehead diamond, Lighter underbelly, Wheat facial stripes, Wheat stripes on shoulders, Brown fur on end of tail,Freckles across nose

Aeistrios genetics: Dark pants /includes tail, Dark front leg shade, Darker socks, Dark mask, Darker muzzle, Darker ears, Darker around eyes/ dark unders

Their due date is December 18! We will be picking the players of the remaining two cubs by December 11.

Trigger Warning for mentions of child abuse, trauma, dissociation




Tesari SAXE
TEH-sah-rye



CANCER ☉ - CAPRICORN ☽ - CANCER ⇑

A creature of conflict and grayed boundaries. What anchors them to this realm when parent wars against child, sisters against brothers, the world against their world? Tesari exists in a constant state of uncertainty as they teeter between the soft animal of their heart and the rigid shell built to keep the monsters at bay. What serves them in one moment against their mother's wrath is their downfall in the next, when they meet any chance of true connection with narrowed eyes and spitting hisses. They would not know tenderness if it slapped them in the face.

While expectations are drilled into Tesari's head before they even gain speech, they set plenty of their own demands upon themself. They allow no room for weakness of mind or body, though their soft nature inevitably disappoints them again and again. If Tesari does not meet parental wrath for falling short of their desired accomplishments, they are prone to punishing themself under the guise of becoming stronger.

Tesari is desperate for something they cannot name. They will latch desperately onto anything that makes them feel good for even a moment, gluttonous for the rare glimpse of light they receive.

+ tenacious, shrewd, responsible, patient, empathetic, dark humor
- conflicted, reclusive, negative, self-loathing, dissociative

notes –
- I think much of their adult personality will be determined by IC events and parenting
- I would like to have them on a higher PVP due to their standing in Amaryllis, though I am not looking for them to die, and will place them in age-appropriate threads

Saerios Saxe
Name Options:

Medic & Pathfinder/Erudite


Personality


Tries to be the “good child” and always seems to fail. Becomes meek as a defense mechanism. Her partial blindness is seen as something shameful that she has no choice but to make do with, too smart to let herself be hindered. She is likely not going to be held down by her cubhood experiences but will suffer trauma. 50/50 chance of her immediately clinging to anyone nice or it taking 2000000 years for her to feel comfortable with anyone. Will try to find comfort with Eerie and her other siblings. This is free to be rejected by others.

A little lady who will be shaped by her experiences. I can see her going in different directions but they hinge on those she meets and how they treat her.



Traits

  • Dual colored mask (Both)
  • Dark eye circles (Both)
  • Forehead diamond (M)
  • Dark chin (M)
  • Dark underbelly (F)
  • Wheat socks (Both)
  • Dark tail + dorsal (bonus)
  • Partial blindness: right eye completely blind. Impaired depth perception as a result.


Plans & Plots

  • Orange/Yellow PvP
  • Partial or Full Tail Removal - Done by Sersie. An action that forces this child to help herself or die by infection or any other cause. (Forcing down the medic path).
  • Any other punishments or encounters that lead to scarring
  • Possible revenge plot (turning on her mother for her treatment as a cub) if she manages to find a backbone somewhere

Traits
- Hardworking - Confident - Ruthless - Loyal - charming

A girl who will grow to be a lion who's main purpose in life is to work hard and so much for her family's own sake. Somone for who the word lazy and mediocrity will never be allowed to take hold of who she is a lion, as a Saxe. She will oftentimes go beyond her mortal capabilities. Sometimes bitting more than what he can chew… But in his eyes nothing of that matters for she wants to please and be daddy's favorite. To show them she is the winning number for them and their family. 

This comes with a solid and growing confidence, a confidence mainly held by the pride she has of being a Saxe, of being part of something she will come to see as glorious as godly. The Saxe held power, had superior skills, and bloodline, and so is what the young lioness will come to see. And the ruthless nature of her parents will be the main fuel to this side of her. The side of the one who wants only the best for her family. 

She will grow under her parents cold and tedious watch to be ruthless and do whatever it takes to ensure her family will come out on top, to make sure that those who dare to disrespect her and her loved ones face the wrath of her fangs and claws, but accompained with charm and emotional attacks. And in order to try impressing her family, she won't know any limits for her ways. But doing so carefully and not just with bland, unplanned actions. 


Plans:
Assassin and Barbarian
Okay with maims and more
Okay with anything

Cub 2
Sex: Male
Build: Large
Coat: Peach
Eyes: Purple
Genetic Mutation: None
Markings: 5 genetic | 0 genetic global | 2 bonus

MARKINGS: dark mask, face freckles, face stripes, socks, butt stripes, light unders, dark pants (currently consodered global, I can fix them or pay for the extra global marking! :D)

NAME: Kreios or Dionos Saxe

PERSONALITY: Outwardly, Kreios is exactly the unyielding and cold son his parents urged him to be. What begins in cubhood as an aloof method of escaping the turbulent and often dangerous familial climate around him, often leading his younger self to remain nonverbal or to disassociate, Kreios' all-important emphasis on appearances and his preturnaturally present 'poker face' have become something of a deadly game of survival. Emotion is weakness and weakness is death, and when your own mother threatens your survival at the hint of a slip, the stakes could not be higher. Kreios purposefully maintains a stoicism that is nigh impeachable, refusing to allow any emotion to cross his features or, for that matter, his heart.

Ruthlessly shutting himself off from emotional stimulus makes him a brilliant strategist, and a ruthless fighter, but his obsession for maintaining his mask causes him to be vain, and he is afflicted by a compulsive need to be clean, to the point that he can suffer from attacks of anxiety and violent outbursts when overstimulated, be it by the itch of drying blood against his skin or from a simple splash of mud at the wrong moment. He is phobic and distrusting of all forms of touch, used to a more violent standard of living, and easily overwhelmed by any contact he does not initiate. Due to this and a lifetime of repression, he is also quite starved for contact, and the paradox is not lost on him. Perhaps that is why he is so willing to bite and claw and tear into the flesh of others- it is all the touch he knows, and the only sort he can accept.

Still, there is a sensitivity to this male, and beneath his untouchable mask there is great emotional frailty. Times of great duress, pain, or emotional turmoil still cause him to disassociate, shut down, or simply walk away, and he cannot tolerate betrayal. Once he trusts you, you had better not let him down, or he may not be the only one who won't recover.

SEXUALITY: Demisexual homoromantic (a.k.a gay but don't touch me until I REALLY trust you)


GENERAL: I see him as being pretty loyal to the family, at least in the capacity that a soldier is loyal to a general. He tells himself he doesn't care about ANYONE or ANYTHING (he cares a lot about a lot) so he can be pretty uptight, aloof, and rude. He is probably kinder to his siblings but ultimately he has kind of a deep-seated fear of being vulnerable, even with them, so he is NOT emotionally well-adjusted. There is probably a lot of unresolved mommy/daddy issues happening with this guy XD
TOTALLY open to him being scarred up by mom or from fighting before maturity!

aloof x merciless x socially-awkward x violent x easily-frustrated


Born at the height of the Saxe vs. Everybody conflict, Daeira will not know peace in her young life. With a whole island out to get the Saxe children and a mother who will do the same if Daeira's not worthy of her time, Daeira is likely to grow up feeling that she has to be strong and forceful at all times. Exhausting. This could present as her bullying or picking fights with her siblings and standing up to her mother and father, only to likely get beat down until she proves her strength. The abuse she is sure to endure from her mother (and likely siblings too) will pressure her into a frenzied state, resulting in violent unpredictability and frustration that comes way too easily.

On the surface, she's likely to keep her stoic and violent demeanor, but on the inside, she's crumbling piece by piece from the fear of never being good enough to make her parents proud. She throws herself into opportunities to show that she's capable and worthy to her mother's eyes, but these opportunities aren't always obtainable. It's likely she will be heavily scarred by the time she's middle-aged due to this recklessness.

Her life feels like a constant battle for acceptance. Being taught that she has to fight for everything she wants (and then some), this leaves Daeira too aggressive to make many friends. She struggles with relationships outside of her family because no one understands what she's been molded into. And because no one understands, they think she's insane or mean. The insane part might be true in the future, after dealing with all of this stress for a lifetime, but all the girl really wants is a hug.

Daeira will be partially blind in her right eye, only being able to see light, shadows, and blurry shapes. At this time, her eye looks normal!
