[Yay, The Second Cycle has been reborn in a slightly updated package!]
Plot: Simba and Nala, although still fairly young, decided that the stress of ruling the Pride Lands is no longer worth the rewards, and have handed down the throne to Kovu and Kiara.
Several months later, there was a murder in the Pride, in which a young Pride Lander lioness was found dead in the personal den of a former outlander. The den's owner was accused, and incriminating evidence was found that clearly singled out the ex-outlander as the murderer. However, Kovu threw out the case and ordered that all charges against the accused be dropped. The acting judge of the court, Sarafina, publicly expressed her outrage at Kovu's orders and refused to let the case drop.
Kovu responded by simply removing Sarafina from his position and appointing Vitani judge. The case was quickly thrown out, with no punishment of any kind being dealt out. This was only the first of a series of incidents in which Kovu has shown that his character is not as admirable as it once seemed. Three months after the infamous trial, Kovu attempted to banish three lionesses for unspecified crimes against the Pride.
The three lionesses asked Queen Kiara for help, and she responded by attempting to have Kovu removed from the throne. At that point, Kovu lost it. He had his loyalists throw Kiara in a cave below Pride Rock that serves as a prison, and had all three lionesses publicly executed.
Simba and Nala were forced to flee into the Jungle, and Sarafina has only stayed because she is not in good enough health to attempt to flee. The entire Pride supports Kovu's regime, only because they fear that any opposition will be rewarded by summary execution at the paws of the former Outlanders. The Pride Lands are in a state of dictatorship: How this conflict is resolved, is up to you, the RP'er. [Thanks for reading all that...]
Rules:
1: Little to no swearing. Assume that everything you write WILL BE READ by small cubbies who are rather sensitive to language and graphic violence.
2: Killing IS ALLOWED. But you can't go overboard, and you can't be graphic. But if/when you decide you want to off some poor bugger's char for some reason, you must CLEAR IT WITH THEM FIRST! No just murdering other chars for no reason, and without the other players consent. However, if you feel the need to have your char commit suicide due to said char being depressed, emo, etc, etc, then we won't stop you because nobody cares. XD
3: Magic is allowed, but to an extremely limited degree. No fireballs, no reviving the dead, no all-powerful magic, etc. Basically, you can heal your char and other chars, and illuminate dark rooms with spells, but that's it.
4: NO HUMANS ALLOWED.
Thats it for the rules, sorry there are so many. I've just seen a few good RP's get blasted by superpowerful magic and/or murderous charries.
Oh Noez! Teh Notez!!!
Uh, yeah, for this RP, Human society doesn't exist and all critters have humanlike Life Spans. Lifespans can be longer, if the furball's helped out by magic and healing herbs and whatnot...
