"rosebloods, gather for a meeting," the snow leopard bellowed as he pushed through the doors and into the throne room. his tail twitched as members filtered in behind him, watching with curious eyes as the previously uncertain leader settled himself on the throne. he waited a few moments before beginning.

"first, i'd like to welcome the newest additions to our ranks; [member=2054]lydia :･ﾟ✧[/member] , [member=2030]sephiroth[/member] , [member=2052]Deval[/member] , [member=2027]ALEKTTO.[/member] , [member=2032]BLUERIDGE[/member] , [member=1942]Aurora C.[/member] , @Dante , [member=1987]HORIZON CIPHER.[/member] , [member=2033]K. GHANA[/member] , and [member=527]Baby.[/member] . welcome, everyone, i hope you're settling in well." he nodded as he listed off the names, briefly searching the crowd for the faces, before continuing. "felix has stepped down from adviser; i'll be on the lookout for potential candidates for the position, but it won't be immediate. no promotions as of this week, but i'd like to shout out [member=2030]sephiroth[/member] and [member=2032]BLUERIDGE[/member] for their activity and contributions. keep it up." prestige offered a smile. "blueridge is holding a hunt as well, i'd suggest joining if you've nothing else to do."

the snow leopard shifted in his seat. "i was visited early this morning by the god of the sun, ra. he offered me a deal and i have accepted; instead of worshiping the daemons that haunt our territory, if you so choose, he will be our main deity. ra has promised us protection from the daemons so we no longer need to live in fear of them." perhaps, he thought for a moment, he'd be seen as crazy. a heretic, for going against the spirit beasts that had terrorized them for as long as they'd been around. but he trusted the god, and believed the ethereal falcon would do well on fulfilling his end of the deal. as long as prestige kept his. "our ranks will be changing to accommodate this. the rank of leader will become pharaoh, advisers will become viziers, and we will be implementing an assistant deputy rank called nomarchs, who will have subsets for healing, warfare, and religion. guards remain guards, however stylists are now overseers, and healers are now physicians. another rank being added is the oracle, who will be in charge of religious ceremonies, blessings, things of the such. i'll also be adding a few more titles to our system." it was definitely a lot to take in, large changes to become used to, but he believed the group would be on board. at least, prestige hoped they would be.

"alongside this, if they so choose, each family may choose a god to worship. it's encouraged to do so and use this as a way to further your family's depth and uniqueness. rituals, family-centric events, etc., are encouraged as well. do as you wish." the male curled his tail lightly over his paws as he addressed the group.

the male fell quiet then, stone blue eyes drawing slowly over the gathered group for a few long moments. finally he nodded to them. "unless there are any questions or things of that sort, meeting dismissed."

SEPHIROTH

MALE — ROSEBLOODS — MEMBER — HOVER FOR TAGS

[div style="background-color: #292727; color: white; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px; letter-spacing: 1px; text-align: justify; overflow: auto; width: 500px; height: 340px; padding: 10px;"]Sephiroth was one of the first to show up, slipping into the room and seating himself as he looked up at his leader.  His eyes, their color intense as ever, were focused on Prestige as the announcements came.  He almost felt surprise at the mention of his own name, the shout out given to him.  But didn’t really feel surprise that much.  If anything, he felt simple gratitude.  The silver maned lion would gently dip his head at the acknowledgement.  ”Thank you.”  He remained polite and professional at all times.

The lion’s eyes would narrow slightly at the whole religious change.  Sephiroth almost laughed out loud at the mention of no longer living in fear, but held it in.  He didn’t fear them, he practically was fear.  Not to mention he was under the influence that this group was powerful, strong, and fearsome.  And they were afraid of the beasts that lurked in the shadows here?  He might have to toughen them up a little bit.  He wasn’t particularly religious so he didn’t really care, but it still a bit humorous to imagine this group actually being afraid.  They chose to love here, they shouldn’t been prepared.

[align=center][div style="width: 51%; text-align: justify; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; font-family: verdana;"]Lydia was among the first few the appear, gathering her small body closer to the middle-to-front area of the group and plopping back on her haunches. Her eyes were glued to Prestige as he spoke, sure to take in every single thing he was saying. Whatever she zoned out during or didn't quite understand, she could figure out later, no problem. The red tabby smiled brightly at the welcome, but quickly became a little alarmed by their lea- or, pharaoh now.

Lydia was by no means angered or dissatisfied by the sudden change in religion or ranks, but she was surprised that the change had come to them so fast. But hey, at least the names were cool in her opinion. Honestly though, she wasn't sure that she would closely follow their new-found religion. She would probably have to participate in a few religious ceremonies before concluding she wasn't a follower though. Lydia was open to almost anything.

[Jiyu Simul Stamus]

The guard was in the position she would normally take up from every meeting, starting at the last one she had attended and on into the future. Instead of being perched among the normal crowd? The calico was standing on the lower portion of the stairs moving up towards the throne that Pres had himself perched upon for announcements, and no one could move her. Even if someone tried to move the calico by force? She would just ghost mode so they could not, she was going to protect the leader, allowing her to protect the whole group, and nothing was going to get in the way of that. None of the announcements were important in comparison to the way she swore to keep doing her job, she could care less about anything, heck even if there was one day no longer an official rank she would be doing this sort of thing because this was all she knew.

She could care less about religion, sure her mother was a daemon, but the blood that ran through her blood was thicker than such. Jiyu had proved her loyalty thicker than her own blood. What was she supposed to do besides falling into line like the good dog on a leash she always had been, snapping at the bit simply to protect something she would never truly be able to enjoy! She burned her own bridges and at least she could hold onto that, no one could take anything away from her that really mattered, except for herself.

Optics flickering to the side, the calico had an idea that presented into her head, but she chose to withhold it, for now, some old traditions should still be followed, now was not the time for her to speak. Jiyu would seek the leader out later on her own.

[align=center][div style="0px; width:450px; height:auto; text-align: justify; font-size: 8pt; line-height:13px; color:black;"]A meeting, and her first that she would be attending. This was something she understood and something she could see as a constant in her life. Other things were not so easily readable as a meeting was simply because there were so many factors that were involved. But she supposed that was how life was generated, with so many facts and options that there was never a true and clear future. It was intriguing to say the least but this meeting she knew would happen again and again though the contents were different within the information that was given the constant would stand that it was a meeting and nothing more. Her body slowly made its way forward and she allowed herself to scan the room first, eyes narrowed a bit before she allowed a glancing look to see if Kunta was here. There was no large dark creature whose presence filled the room yet and so she just figured he would show when he was ready. But other than that she managed to settle her form to listen to that announcements that came forward.

There was the welcoming of members who had recently joined, herself included and then she was given a shoutout with another being. The silverly lion she had met before. There was no acknowledgement from the blue toned feline because of the praise as she was just doing what she thought was right. Something natural to her was to do her job and make sure that things were equal and that this place was prosperous. Her tail absently flicked as she titled her head to the sudden changes in religion and this stance of not having to fear daemons. How strange? She wouldn't find herself having solace in a god of the sun. The night belong to her, the moon shaped and held up in the air was her's. She was a goddess in her own right so there was a strangeness in the worship of a god coming from her so the religion wouldn't be something she would follow in. It wasn't becoming of her own status but she wouldn't be disrespectful of it. As for family things she was curious very much so that there could be such things that held status. Would Kunta carry weight with his family name? She did not carry her own and doubt she ever would. But the more changes that came she wondered what direction this would go into. The ranks were interesting and she curled her tail against her body before giving a light nod of her head. Truly, a changing meeting and she would roll with it just as she had done before.

BUT IN ALL CHAOS
THERE IS CALCULATION

Alektto inclined his head from where he'd sat himself - heads taller than most everyone here - at his mention, my did they greet every newcomer? ah to be part of a smaller community, these small idiosyncrasies.

a mention of religion brought him a raised brow but otherwise he did not outwardly say or display any emotion towards it, merely polite interest - he did not care for any religion as such, the sith were more a set of guidelines than true religion, words to live and code life by, not some worshipped vaunted gods - even if they did so venerate the most legendary of sith but that was just pride in history and legacy, as any sith would wish.

a mention of these demons and spirits did catch his interest though - ah, so not only was the territory similar to dromund kaas in aesthetic and feel, they also had their fair share of spirits haunting the lands like the dark temple of old? how intriguing.

"worship of false Idols and fear of the unknown, how, primitive" a voice whispered through his mind and he refrained from glancing to where Valkorion's apparition would usually appear in one of these little 'lesson lectures' or rather 'annoying commentaries' the former emperor liked to indulge in, seated in the backseat as he seemingly was - but no the voice ebbed away with no appearance, hm, perhaps the vergence that had spat him out here - and like this - had drained or stressed the connection too much for him to appear yet, one thing to be minorly thankful of then.

HORIZON CIPHER

fuck the doomed
you're on your own !

Ah, his first meeting here, how fun! At Prestige's call, Horizon made his way over and puffed out his chest whenever his name was mentioned. The devil took note of how the meeting was ran, with how joiners were mentioned first, followed by promotions (although there was none this week) and shoutouts. He took note of the two who got shoutouts and offered a nod to them, before turning his attention back to Prestige. At the announcement regarding a god of the sun, Horizon frowned. So The Rosebloods had a religion here? That was... disappointing. That meant that getting the members of the clan to convert to his own was going to be hard. I promise I will do my best, My Lord. Horizon thought, as if he was talking to the god he believed in. He was introduced to Belial through his father's friend, Henri, and has since believed in the demon and worshiped him as a god. The very goal of joining The Rosebloods was to convert the group into believing in Belial, but unfortunately that seems that it was going to be harder than it first seemed. "Noted." Horizon said out loud, his ears flicking.

//Congrats to those who got shoutouts!!
