What is a demi-FC, you ask? A demi-FC is a character who did not appear in the Lion King movies, but is just as important to keep the game’s story progressing. Sometimes they include the leaders of non-canon groups, but more often than not they are wizard-created characters designed to fill a particular niche. Depending on the IC responsibilitiesof the character, auditions may or may not be held and detailed applications may or may not be necessary.
Try to think of this as a fancier form of the Adopt-a-Character thread.
As of 01/09/07, the following characters are available:
Mwongozo (Palandasya Vizier)
Mwongozo the panther is one of Palandasya’s key fixtures, enforcing order from the shadows when the Kings are busy enjoying their lionesses and patrolling their borders. Although he is a trusted friend of both Chioh and Hukumu, they would probably do well to take his advice with a grain of salt. Mwongozo, although not unkind, is a cunning opportunist with a penchant for parlor tricks, using magic and deceit to advance his agendas. The inspiration for Mwongozo comes from Aladdin--you can probably guess who he’s based after.
Balozi (Palandasya Ambassador)
Balozi is the creature in charge of Palandasya’s foreign relations. After all, why send a lion to make peace when a bird can travel much faster by wing? Balozi is an elderly secretary bird--a very dignified, down-to-earth sort of fellow with a dry sense of humour. Although generally distrusting of foreigners, he does his job very well and has taken it upon himself to educate the pride’s cubs about their responsibilities as adults.
Nyonya (Palandasya Nursemaid)
Unable to have any cubs of her own (though not for lack of trying), Nyonya is Palandasya’s nursemaid and assists Katibu in looking after the cubs and making sure they stay out of trouble. She would readily give her life for any one of theirs. Nyonya has been envisioned as a lioness, but if you would prefer to play her as a leopard, that can be arranged.
You'll notice that these are brief character sketches (with the exception of Lulu) which do not include any mention of the character's history. But that's because the character's history is part of the application process. If you're interested in applying for any one of the above characters, please PM me with the background you envision the character having, in addition to a sample pose such as the following:
The beetle-black eyes of the witch doctor widen momentarily- as one who had been playing political games all her life, she had clearly caught on from the word go. Isoba's expression remains all but unfathomable, however, and her snowy-white eyebrows are set in a neutral line- a practiced, very practical look. "The winds, your Grace," she repeats with a highly perfunctory air, rope-like tail swishing thoughtfully. "The winds. Ah, yes. The winds have been very active as of late- and very strange news they have been carrying, too." One of her eyebrows arches upwards, nearly disappearing into her sooty headfur. "There are many things I could tell you, your Grace. What is it that you want to hear?" A question spoken with all innocence.
