Deep in the heart of Transylvania, in a small village called Rochdale there lived a tribe of Manen Lynx known as Dark Sun. In a tiny hut on the edge of the village a young mother had just given birth to a single kit; an albino male his father dubbed Lorcàn. As time passed the young kit grew strong with an equally strong hate for the world and all who lived in it.
Lorcàn's parents spoke down to him and frequently hid his existence from the tribe. Albinism was believed to bring nothing but bad fortune and death for the family. His parents were ashamed of their son and were the butt of most jokes around the village these days. Though when he came of age to begin his combat training they had no choice but to send him off.
He enjoyed the praise he received from his superiors as he channeled his rage into something useful. It was during a fateful sparring match that he met his soon-to-be mate. Desdemona, although pretty, was almost as ruthless a fighter as Lorcàn. She nearly had his ear off before their commanding officer had to stop the fight. Lorcàn was impressed and secretly began to court her in between breaks of their training regimes.
With their combat training complete all the kits born around the same time as Lorcàn were now of age to choose their fates. Their current ruler, Clemens, addressed each young tom or queen in turn. They were given two choices; Stay or Leave. If they left they were provided with a weapon, a weeks worth of rations, and escorted to the edge of the territory. What they did after that was entirely up to them. If they chose to stay they were given two more choices; Take up the family profession depending on the caste they were born into, or challenge Clemens for title of ruler. Prior to their ceremony Desdemona, with her manipulative words, convinced Lorcàn to challenge Clemens.
After a brutal beat down the albino tom came out the victor, the new ruler of the Dark Sun tribe. As custom called he had to choose a Queen. It was an easy choice for him, Desdemona was chosen as his Queen. No sooner had they begun their rule together had Desdemona given Lorcàn 4 healthy kits. This, my friends, is where our story begins.

Just a crappily typed out overview of a fantasy-esque story I was thinking of writing of my new hoard of Manen Lynxes. My Manen Wolves will likely make appearances too. But, enough of my rambling, on to the main characters of the story! The kits have been aged up to adults for the purpose of pictures and such. IN the story they're still newborns.
If anyone or any people want to roleplay this story out on our own private forum or a chat room please feel free to say so on here or message me, I would LOVE to rp out this story with all you lovely people ^^
Lorcàn - The ruthless leader of the Dark Sun tribe. As an only kitten he was always told that he would never amount to anything due to his albinism. In all of Dark Sun history there had never been an albino ruler. When it came time for him to decide his own fate; Leave his birth tribe to find another or challenge the current ruler. Determined to impress the queen he had grown to love and to prove his worth Lorcàn challenged, and defeated, the ruler to take his rightful place as King of Dark Sun.
Desdemona - The prissy leader of the Dark Sun tribe. Des was born 75% blind in both eyes as well as an only kitten, a similar plight to her mate. Though, instead of looking down on her, Des' family spoiled her and encouraged her to be whatever her heart desired. This twisted her into the cruel, manipulative, prissy queen she is today. She went through toms like humans go through toilet paper, never satisfied with one or the other. Until she met Lorcàn during a training session. The pair seemed to hit it off almost immediately after Des almost took Lorcàn's ear off in a sparring match. It wasn't his idea to challenge the current ruler, it was Des'. She told him that the only way he could have her was if he made her Queen. Much to her surprise and delight her beloved came through on his word.
Amadi - The polar opposite heir of the Dark Sun tribe. Amadi, despite being the spawn of two seemingly evil spirits, is quite the polar opposite. He is kind, gentle, and fair towards everyone, including those that mean to him. Being first born means he will inherit his father's throne upon Lorcàn's death or retirement. He is determined to repair the damage his family has caused amongst the people and to restore their faith in the Tsubasa family name. His three younger siblings are always bullying him and calling him a disgrace to the family name because of his kindness.
Ansehelm - The Striped Devil of the Dark Sun tribe. Ansehelm, like his two younger siblings, are considered the spawn of evil. He is deceitful, vengeful, and full of hate for those of lower ranks. Like his father before him Ansehelm is a ruthless fighter and kills without mercy. He is happiest when he is on the battlefield condemning souls to the afterlife. He was dubbed The Striped Devil for his merciless combat and the legacy he holds in his blood.
Baltasar - The Devil's Favorite Demon of the Dark Sun Tribe. Baltasar, like his siblings, has a bad attitude. He is rebellious, narrow-minded, and dim at times. His older brother Amadi tries to educate him when he says something wrong or uses a word incorrectly but that only earns Amadi another scar in his hide. Baltasar despises having his grammar and sentence structure corrected. Having been trained by his other older brother Ansehelm Baltasar learned to be a ruthless killer as well. With his acquired combat skills he & his twin sister were further trained as assassins to take out their father's enemies.
Belshazzar - The Devil's Fallen Angel of the Dark Sun Tribe. Belshazzar excels at her job with her twin brother. She revels in the hiding and secrecy her job brings, especially the challenge of hiding because she is father's daughter. Like her mother, Belshazzar is skilled in manipulating others' words or thoughts and using it against them. She utilizes her craft well against her enemies before her brother comes in the for the killing blow.
