Full Version: The Ze'Ani Tribe
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
The Ze’Ani tribe is a tribe of Tanari humans, which was kidnapped as a whole thirteen years ago [circa year 16], and all were enslaved.

The leader of the Ze’Ani tribe, Zera’On, has been freed from the Gladiator arena after fighting for those thirteen years, and is now seeking his fellow tribesmen, liberating them from the chains of slavery.

What am I looking for here?
I am looking for Humans, dark-skinned [three darkest tones] with brown or green eyes. They can males, or females, of any height, and any weight.
IMPORTANT NOTE! The Tribe does not have ANY Spell-casting class. Meaning the IC Class is limited to Rogue and Warrior!

The tribe specializes in horse-breeding, perfume making [alchemy] and leatherwork, which they trade for gems and metalwork.

Sidenotes about the Ze'Ani tribe:

*They leave as a commune, and all the wares inside the tribe are free.

*The ages of maturity within the tribe are 13, but the tribe was kidnapped at the year 16, 13 years ago. Everyone were taken. Naturally, minimal age of the returning slave is 18.

*The tribe is divided to families, but it is rather meaningless to them, they haven't developed the need for surnames.

*A man marries a woman in a ceremony before the Sky-Eye, where he presents her with something of his creation.

*The Leader must be a warrior, and a craftsman combined. Zera'On is a leatherworker and a warrior.

*A woman of Blue Eyes is elected to be Sky-Eye, once the current one is old. All other blue-eyed children are exiled, or killed. All but one.

*To join, a slave must be liberated. That can be done by an event which will be lead by me. If timezones will be a problem, there will be compromise.

*Do note that your character's slavery will be accordingly to his/her profession. Most women will be taken into house-hold, as will those who lack physical strength, like traders, herbalists, and Pharmacists.

*The tribe believes in Chance and Fate.

*Warriors earn money by participating in arenas and things like that.

*Warriors are chosen by birthright, and are trained at a very young age [around 8].

Please post here with the name you want, gender, and guild-rank. I will send a plotline skeleton, from which you’ll be free to flesh out any way you wish.
I'd like to make a character for the guild!

Name: Emun
Gender: Male
Guild-rank: Herbalist

This is a really cool idea, I hope it picks up.
I approve of this message. Though the tribe itself is a peaceful one :P
...now I want to watch pocahontas again!
Damn it, Sol!
Please maintain this thread on topic, even though I -do- appreciate the completely unrelated bumping of it!
I'd like to create the followin:

Name: Yadam Ze'Ani
Gender: Male
Guild-rank: Warrior.

May I?
While I currently have no intention of creating a char for this, I'd love for Ljuvia to meet and interact with the tribe. As a traveling bard, I'm sure she'd enjoy meeting an unfamiliar culture as long as it isn't intent on eating her.
So. I'm sure you're wondering why hasn't Kira made up the character he's promised. Well I'll tell you why!
I've been very busy this afternoon, helping a friend finish a drawing of her's. Furthermore, I think I should get better-accustomed with the idea of a desert wanderer. I'll have a profile ready in no-time!
Well... take your time. I'm in no rush.
Suggestions of better understanding the concept? Perhaps movies, videos, animations, serials, books.
There's gotta be something!
Bedouin. They're peaceful nomads, just wanting to do their own thing. Slaves for 13 years, now liberated, and regrouping. Freedom and stuff. No specific faith, believe in fate, but have no idea where fate comes from. That kind of things.

EDIT: I base this RP on -real- people I've met. Not movies, not anything.
Name: Leh'vi
