This RP is considerably simpler than the Second Cycle or Shattered Dreams. It follows my char, Jamall, and his life of loneliness and despair. In this RP, he has no mate of his own, his sister, Sky, no longer speaks with him, and he is shunned by everyone at Pride Rock. If he is injured, he must tend to his own wounds, for no one will take a moment of their time to help him, not even Rafiki. He is completly alone. No friends, no family, and no hope.
Setting: The Pride Lands! Time Period: One Week after Zira's defeat.
NOTE: For the purposes of this RP, Africa has no human inhabitants and all animals have humanlike life spans. IE: A lion can live a hundred years.
RULES!!! A: No God Modding Plz! B: Literate RP'ers only. C: Magic is allowed, but no uber-powerful stuff, like reviving the dead. D: Keep it PG-13, people. A minimum of swearing, blood, and gore, please! E: Ask for permission before you start playing a Canon Char. And please, don't bring in a char you made who is related to a canon char. Thanks! F: HAVE LOTS OF FUN!!!! THAT'S AN ORDER, PEOPLE!!! ;D
CHARACTERS: Jamall: Jamall Simba: Jamall [Just say if you want him] Nala: Jamall [Just say if you want her] Kiara: Open Kovu: Open Vitani: Kye Kiki: Espeon Muko: Espeon Epesi: Kiara_3

A large, dark brown male lion slowly stirred in the corner of the small den. He yawned, then stretched out, flexing his muscles as much as possible. The lion, who's name was Jamall, slowly stood, then shook off to remove the dust from his majestic black mane. He took a deep breath, then let it out in a long sigh. He muttered something under his breath, then slowly began walking towards the entrance of his den, which was the same one Scar once used.
Jamall poked his head out the entrance and looked around, hoping and praying to see someone, anyone. But, as usual, the area neighbouring his den was devoid of life. Not even the ever-annoying Zazu flitted about overhead. He didn't understand it, ever since he had become an adult six years ago, he had been one of Pride Rock's most beloved and trusted citizens. Simba and Nala themselves looked at Jamall as a son, and Kiara looked up to him. But all that changed a year ago, when he received a single, straight scar crossing down his right brow, over his eye, and down to his cheek, much like the scar that had adorned Taka's face for so many years before his death at Simba's paws.
When he recieved the scar, everything changed for him. Simba and Nala no longer desired his friendship or company, Kiara literally shunned him, even his little sister began to distance herself from him. Six months after he had been scarred, he was a outcast at Pride Rock. He moved away from his den, one of the largest and most comfortable at Pride Rock, and into the small, cramped, uncomfortable den that Scar had called home before he murdered Mufasa.
Jamall sighed and banished from his mind his thoughts and desperate attempts to understand his forced isolation, forcing himself to leave his den and head down to the watering hole. By the grace of the Kings, no one else at Pride Rock was awake at the hour he was, so the watering hole had no other visitors. He slowly made his way to the small pool of cool, clear water, hoping and praying that no one else came to get a drink.

((May i Be Vitani?!)
Vitani layed there...so confused. She could jerpdise<sp> her life for what she thought. She could loose her spot in the pride and proably have to go back to live in the Outlands...alone. She sighed and stood up. She started to pace. She paced back and forth...so many thoughts in her mind at the moment. She had no clue what to do. She wanted to break down and cry. But the thing was..she coldnt even talk to someone about ti. They would tell Simba...and he would get upset. She was finally able to gain his trust!
She walked around her den alone... She wanted to find him...tell him! But, if something accidentaly slipped, they would both be in danger. Her breathing slowly became a little more rapid and her throat dry. She needed water. She walked out of her den and to the watering hole. She nearly squealed when someone was there. She ducked and looked around. She needed to fid a way to get a drink without him seeing. She stood up and just walked over to the water. She took a drink....her breathing was still rapid. Maybe he wouldnt say anything?

(( May I join as my jaguar chars? ))
Kiki woke from her short-lived sleep to find her son snuggled into her belly fur, still asleep. She nudged him gently awake, anxious to move on. Once awake, Muko was picked up placed on his mother's back. The pair glided silently through the yellow grass until Kiki caught a strange, yet familiar scent. A lion. She looked around until she saw him; a huge, dark male, about her size. Muko didn't see anything, he had fallen asleep.

[Kye: Sure!] [Espeon: The more the merrier!]
Jamall had been drinking when Vitani came up to the watering hole. He didn't notice her until she took a drink, which quickly caught his attention. He slowly looked up, dreading the possiblity that it might be Simba. His relief was uncaculable when he saw Vitani. He gave her a small smile, then sat down, staring down at his paws. Out of habit, he wouldn't drink when others were around, simply because it had become a sport to the lionesses to shove him into the water. While he didn't think Vitani would do it, he didn't really know her. He sighed and glanced up at Vitani, then back at his paws, unsure of what to do.

Vitani noticed that Jamall had noticed her. She stopped drinking and sighed. She wanted to talk to him...badly. She lifted her head and smiled at him. Probably too warm of a smile. She then decided she should go talk to him....but not tell him. She softly walked over to him. Most of the time her eyes were focused on the ground. She then stopped ittle ways away from him and gave a small smile. "Uh...Hi Jamall.." she said as softly and assuring as possible.

Jamall's heart was pounding as Vitani walked over to him. He was sure that she, like the others at Pride Rock, was going to either walk right past him, or slap him THEN walk past him. Imagine his [pleasent] surprise when she actually talked to him. It was literally the first time someone had spoken kindly to him in eight months. He smiled very faintly, wondering if this was some new cruel prank that the lionesses had invented to play on him. "Uh... Hello." He replied cautiously, trying not to sound worried.

Vitani had to smiled a little. The sparkle in his eye...was gone. She sighed a ittle. "Dont worry...Im not going to do anything. What you dont know...is that they do the same thing to me once in a while." She sighed and looked at her paws. "Im the daughter of Zira...like people are really going to like me...." she said raising an eyebrow and looking at Jamall. "If i have done anything..at anytime to upset you in anyway./.im sorry." she said softly. She couldnt believe what she was saying. But she smiled and then looked away looking into the water.

Jamall sighed in relief, his faint smile dissapearing and being replaced with the same warm, friendly smile he had worn when Vitani first came to Pride Rock. Granted, his eyes didn't have as much of the playful twinkle he used to have, but it was still there, to a degree. "Don't worry, Vitani. You're the only person in the last year who's actually been NICE to me." He replied, giving her a small but happy smile. "And don't worry about the whole 'Zira's Daughter' thing. Trust me, it's not worth worrying about."

Vitani smiled and sighed a little. "Thanks Jamall. Ill try to forget about it...but it might not happen." She smiled and looked back at him. She looked at him. "I feel bad about what everyone has done to you. To me...that scar is ha..." she stopped what she was going to say and she looked back at the water. She laughed a little at herself and then looked at Jamall. She cleared her throat and switched the weight on her paws. She couldnt believe what swhe was going to say. She was an idiot.

Jamall sighed softly as he heard her begin to say the word 'handsome'. At least, that's what he figured she was going to say. "I think... The reason they shun me is because my scar reminds them of the bad times, when Simba's uncle was king. But it doesn't matter. I'm probably going to leave. I don't know, though... I mean, where would I go?"

Vitanis eyes widened as he said he was going to leave. "You cant!... I mean...Dont! I mean..." she stopped and sighed. She coldnt force him to stay. "I dont know...The outlands are lion free....but trust me. That place stinks! And the hyenas are dopes.." she said rolling her eyes. She looked at him. She shrugged and ws out of words. If he left..her world would officially end. she would probably go jump off the cliff that her mother did. She sighed and stared at her paws. Her heart thumped loudly...she had no clue what would happen if he left.

Jamall was surprised by Vitani's reaction. He gently tilted her chin up with his forepaw and looked into her eyes, trying to be as comforting as he could. "I... I'll stay then." He replied, giving her a small smile. He didn't want to just abandon Vitani, not when there was a chance that she wanted to build a friendship with him.

Vitani smiled a little but then she felt guilty. "No..If you want to go. Then go. I dont want to keep you here if you dont like it. Im only staying..becuase it makes me feel like im wanted somewhere...Even though im not..." she said softly. She looked into his eyes and tried to smile but it was hidden by the saddness on her muzzle. Why couldnt she like osmeone else! No she had to like the one that was nice...of course! She only lion that was amazing and sweet. But that had advantages. She smiled again. If he was going to stay...for her...sooner or later..she HAD to tell him....but what would he say?!

[Sorry for taking so darn long to post.] Jamall suddenly realized what that feeling he got when he first met Vitani was. It was the beginning of love. "I... Vitani, I want to stay." He replied. In his head, he added 'but I'm only staying for you.' Jamall smiled and gave her a gentle nudge, then he c0cked his head towards Pride Rock. "Well, seeing as how we seem to have found a friend in each other, shall we do something together?"

Vitani smiled as he nuzzled her. She looked at Priderock to then back at Jamall. She smiled a little more. "Sure. But what are we going to do?" she asked softly. She wondered what they would do..she hant really hung out with someone in a long time. The last time was probably with Nuka. She sighed mentally at the thought of her dead brother. But on the outside a smile stayed firm on her muzzle. She had to do everything to keep a low purr from falling out of her mouth. Her tail did gently sway behind her. Things were probably just starting to turn around in her life.

Jamall sighed and shrugged. A year of being isolated from everyone had made his social skillz kind of rusty. "Well... What do you want to do? 'Cause my mind isn't serving me very well right now..." He replied, smiling at Vitani. [Sorry 4 the shortness... ]

Kiki quickly noticed the lioness that had been so much better camouflaged. As she watched them talk, she did not notice Muko jump down from her back and trot up to the pair, until it was too late. The jaguar cub roared his tiny roar, and looked smugly at the lions as if expecting them to run away in terror.

(AAA sorry for the late reply.))
Vitani was about to speak when somethg caught her attention. She looked down and saw a cub. But it wasnt a lion cub..it was a jaguar. She looked at Jamall and smiled. She bent down and smiled at the cub. "Hey there cutie. Wheres your mommy?" she asked softly. This cub was cue,,,but she only wanted to be friendly with it...she didnt feel like getting into a fight. She smiled and laughed a little. She looked around not spotting its mother...was she hiding? Did she even know he was here?

Jamall slightly raised one eyebrow and laughed at the little cub's smugness. The boy reminded him of himself. "Yes, where is your mom?" He asked, repeating Vitani's question. He bent down as well, looking into the boy's eyes and giving him a smile.
