Prologue/Origin Story:
We are the Leopards, keepers of the elemental balance between fire and ice. Leopards were one of the first species to drink the Chi, but we had difficulty figuring out who would lead our newly established tribe, and there was even physical infighting. Eventually, a young leopard travelled up to Mount Cavora and completed the trials necessary to earn the species fire chi from the Phoenix. As he was the only Leopard able to do this at the time, this leopard was deemed the king of the Leopard Tribe. Eventually, the king's son, Prince Leodus, became the 2nd king of the Leopards after his father passed away from old age. The Leopards advanced in our technology over the years, but we wanted to escape the politics and wars that the other tribes got into, so we moved up north to the edge of The Iron Mountains into what would later be called the Valley of Balance. There, we built our Golden City, and our civilization prospered. Despite isolating ourselves from most of the southern tribes, we formed lasting friendships and alliances with the Phoenix, Tiger, and Vulture tribes (the latter alliance went defunct when the original Vulture leader met his end).
We weren't able to save our friends the Vultures from the Vulture Plague, and most of that tribe was wiped out. The survivors were united by a Vulture named Vamprah, who was determined to conquer the entire Iron Mountain range. We fought back when they tried to destroy our city, but this caused even more tensions to form in the fragile relationship of our two tribes. When Icestrike convinced Vamprah and the vultures to join his rogue bear faction in a war against us, we knew it was too late to reason with the vultures. What would later be known as the Leopard—Ice Hunter War broke out in this very City and across the Iron Mountains (also in The West Sea, but our fleet was destroyed by the ruthless Ice Bear fleet), but we ultimately won due to the vehicles and fire chi given to us by our friends the Tigers and Phoenix. We became known as one of the Fire tribes after this. Vamprah and Icestrike were intent on conquering Chima, so we had no choice but to exile them from southern Chima, and Leodus cursed them to remain in the arctic north. However, an unexpected side effect of the curse fused the Hunter with the ice itself, just like what had happened to the Mammoths and Sabertooths before them. After the war, we'd been living here in secret and in peace for many years as the inland tribes slowly forgot about us, but we are wary that the Ice Hunters could return, should the curse be broken...
HQ Layout:
To maintain the curse, we Leopards live in the middle, between the elements of Fire and Ice (both figuratively and literally). The valley at the edge of the Iron Mountains that our city is located in became known as the Valley of Balance, as it is right between the Ice Regions of northern Chima, and the warm regions of Southern Chima. A circular wall surrounds the The Golden City itself is of standard construction (not all the buildings are made out of actual gold, just most of them are painted gold), with all the buildings you'd expect in a city; houses, factories, armories, hospitals, a castle, etc. The Leopards are a creative and academic species with interests in art and literature, so many leopards are authors of fiction and nonfiction books, and many others are artists. Some time ago, the Tribe went through its own renaissance age, and precise from different eras fill the art museums and the houses of rich leopards. The Golden Castle where King Leodus and the high-ranking tribe members live is of similar construction to the lion temple, with a yellow leopard head and mouth shaped gate that can chomp down to close. In the castle are golden halls and a great library that could even rival that of the eagles. Leodus has, of course, a yellow throne room with a golden throne and a wall-sized mural behind the throne depicting the war with the Vultures and Ice Bears.
Tribe Ranks:
King (1ic)— Leodus
Stewards (2ic)— 2 positions open
Supreme Commander/Field Marshal (3ic)— 1 position open
Druids (4ic)— 12 positions open
Commanders (4ic)— 2 positions open
Cavalry Captains (5ic)— 4 positions open
Knights (soldiers)— Infinite positions open
Vehicle pilots (soldiers)— Infinite positions open
Any other occupation (but also soldiers when needed)— Infinite positions open
Name: Leodus
Species: Leopard
Gender: Male
Affiliation: Leopard Tribe, Fire Tribes
Age: Unknown
Appearance: Still figuring it out (picture coming soon-ish)
Weapons and Gear: A double-bladed sword. On blade is red and channels basic control over fire (but only when Leodus plugs fire chi), and the other blade is blue and has basic control of ice. This sword represents the balance of Fire and Ice that Leodus keeps. He also has a fire crossbow, a royal shield, and a basic spell book.
Personality: Leodus is undoubtedly a protagonist, but as he walks the line between the two prime elements, he is slightly more morally grey than the Phoenix and Tiger leaders. He keeps his tribe safe at all costs, even if it means utilizing the element that the other two Fire Tribes are against. Leodus is also wise and artistic; he painted the mural in his throne room himself. However, Leodus has flaws; he is still plagued by the memory of his best friend (the original Vulture leader) being assassinated by Icestrike, and of himself not being able to save his friend. Despite knowing that he didn't have a choice, Leodus is also not proud of exiling the Vultures and Ice Bears to the north and cursing them, especially since he used to be allies with the vultures, and Leodus wishes he could've been able to negotiate for peace instead. Nevertheless, Leodus pushes all his flaws and emotions aside so he can focus on leading his tribe and putting his species first and foremost.
Backstory: Leodus was part of the second generation of leopards, and was the second King of the tribe. He was also the 2nd wizard in existence (my upcoming Mammoth character being the first), and practiced basic spells and curses. He eventually befriended and allied with the original Vulture leader, a new wizard who gained basic control of the element of ice. The vulture leader gave Leodus an ice sword as a gift. When the Vulture Plague began to wipe out the original Vulture Tribe, the leader flew to the Golden City in order to ask for help from the Leopards. As Leodus saw his friend approaching, he came out of the city to meet the Vulture, only for his friend to suddenly be tackled and smashed from behind by Icestrike. Icestrike escaped before Leodus could avenge his friend. Vamprah suspected the Leopards of destroying the Vulture leader, and as such, the Vultures didn't ask the Leopards to help them during the Plague. Leodus later led the Leopards in the war with two of the future Ice Hunter tribes, and the rest is history...

Icestrike escaped before Leodus could avenge his friend. Vamprah suspected the Leopards of destroying the Vulture leader, and as such, the Vultures didn't ask the Leopards to help them during the Plague. Leodus later led the Leopards in the war with two of the future Ice Hunter tribes, and the rest is history... WHat? No Leonardo here?! OOC: Um, no? They're 2 completely separate characters. Leonardo is a snow leopard (white fur), whereas Leodus is a yellow leopard, like the canon character Lundor.

OOC: What do Cavalry Captains do? OOC: The idea is that they Command Knights/soldiers while riding those robotic hover-horses from Nexo Knights. (Assuming I can get those hover horses FAC approved.) OOC: Ok, because there aren't horses in Chima. So i was wondering what the point of cavalry was.

The Tigers wanted us to either leave, or apologize for something that never happened. Quite strange."
