The Tribal Ceremony was created by TheIkranRider herself, an annual event that takes place during November, the former International Month of the Drums before it was moved to May. She honors/embraces all tribal figures and those characters representing it in which she calls each tribesman as the chosen ones. Whether their lineage is recent, distant, or hardly relatable, she brings each tribesman to the enticing event. All this has been handpicked based on the turn-ons she had ever since she was a kid and growing up. So far it has been going on for three years and she plans on resuming it this year.
The First Tribal Ceremony[]
Since November is known as the International Month of the Drums, the pseudo-tribe has gathered together as they were in a teepee village for a very enticing ceremony. All of the members perform in unison to honor their distant brethren, with some more related than others. Either way, the assembly was so inciting, so powerful, so irresistible...
Members of the tribe include:
Domin-Ikran's OC from the Injukhal tribe in Tenebre playing the Tom Tom in the left corner.
Cecil Harvey-His associate during Domin's regime in the events of "Trials of a King" and "Conquest of the Blue Planet," preparing to beat the neighboring Tom Tom.
Spear Guy-From Yoshi's Island, he dances on top of the Paladin's drum in time with the rhythm.
The Count-Wearing the tribal costume during his visit in Montana, he returns to his passion as he counts and beats in succession on his own drum; it was so easy to get into, and he noticed this was his true calling.
Nightwolf-The Native American warrior from Mortal Kombat beating the Djembe.
Drowzee-The Hypnosis Pokémon in all his enticing pride, sitting and playing the little drum, calling into the tribe's minds, leading them as he is swaying his arms, "Drowzee…Drowzee…"
Tiger Lily and Indian Chief (Dragon Rose and Chief Abdullah)-Whether it's from Peter Pan or the heads of the Injukhal, they sit idly as they play the twin bongos.
Laughing Bull-From Cowboy Bebop, he sits in front tapping the tablas.
Falcolor-The new Onondaga head from the Sleepy Hollow Missing Episodes as he and the former chief beat the massive drum covered with feathers.
Turgado-The late head of the Onondaga people; while he had passed away before, he still lives participating in the ceremony.
Venusaur-Mewtwo's clone wears more war paint, some feathery earrings, and a grassy dress swaying as he thumps to the mesmerizing rhythm as he roars in pleasure and glory, "Saur..!"
Charizard-Mewtwo's flying beast possesses more battle scars and flies over the performance as his tail flame and ardency increases.
Blastoise-In the corner behind Domin and Cecil, he shows off as he displays his shell.
Rufflet and Braviary rise over the tribal grounds as the former perches on a teepee.
Ryu Suzaku II (Rick Wheeler)-Ikran's favorite F-Zero pilot embraces his roots as he wears a tribal outfit filled with heavy, red feathers honoring the Ryu (dragon) and the Suzaku (the Vermillion Bird), while he wields a long stick as he's about to beat the tall Taiko.
Oozaru-Whether it'd be young Gohan's or otherwise, he roars and pounds to the beat of the drums. He was quite the animal without destroying anything as he kept on letting out his war cries while dancing and slamming his fists to the ground and on his mighty chest, taking in the thrilling dance and embracing the pride of the Saiyans.
Chief Parrish (Henry Parrish)-The temporary head of the Onondagas wears one of Turgado's sacred outfits. He once took over the Onondagas, brainwashing them and making them as his own. He stands tall and proud as he beats the giant timpani.
Battle Hawk of Darkness (Gavin Lucas)-Parrish's young associate follows his lead as he hits the massive, organic drum in front of him; he was one of the hypnotized tribesmen working with Chief Parrish and the Onondagas.
These are all the people that Ikran envisioned in joining this. All the people and drums throughout the years, even while she was really young, that "turned her on." Embrace the performance with her...
The Tribal Ceremony Continues...[]
Yes... The ceremony shall resume from last year as more enticing and mightier than ever. Ikran should've saved this for the International Month of the Drums, but I can never resist this entrancing assembly.
This time, we have some new members:
Fierce Deity Link - This is his first-ever observance of any big, tribal ceremony, even more than in Hyrule. He watches the Gerudo dance around the blazing fire, and he becomes excited and enthralled by the performance, even those playing the drums. He wishes to be an official member of the tribe.
Bongo Bongo - The deceased phantom beast joins in with his own massive drum, beating in time with the other tribesmen hanging from Oozaru; it was a perfect fit for him. This wasn't the monster, just an illusion.
The Gerudo dance alluringly around the bonfire and show off in front of the tribesmen searching for a mate. While a couple others play on their own drum in the distance. They'd certainly catch a few men to get intimate with. One of them even shook some whirring drums.
Sheik - He simply bows down to the irresistible, dark spirit of the drums as well as the might of the chief.
Impa - Even though it felt wrong, she simply watches over the ceremony. Even she starts to get a change of heart.
Sneasel and Weavile - They both dance around while the latter beats on his own drum.
Tinsel Steelus - She joins in with her husband, Rick, in her own tribal outfit representing the Dark Warrior as the winter spirit, the Black Tortoise; she alternates between dancing in the fray as well as beating the neighboring bongo with Domin.
Returning members:
Ryu Suzaku/Rick Wheeler - Once again, he's dressed in his tribal outfit representing the Vermillion (Dragon) Bird beating on the taiko.
Cecil kisses Dragon Rose (Tiger Lily) passionately in the distance.
Domin hits the neighboring bongo with Tinsel's.
Venusaur stomps and roars proudly along with the mesmerizing beat as he does this in glory and complete arousal, "Saur..!"
Charizard, Braviary, and Rufflet soar over the party as ardent as ever.
Blastoise shows off his tribal designs on his shell.
Drowzee returns and sways his body, hands, and mind as he encourages everyone to move and perform with him, "Drowzee… Drowzee…"
Laughing Bull hit twin tablas like last year.
Battle Hawk of Darkness (Gavin Lucas) and Chief Parrish hit their own timpanis behind their fellow tribesmen.
Chief Abdullah (Indian Chief) is the main chieftain as he demonstrates his almighty presence; so much so that even Sheik gets submissive to him.
Nightwolf hit his own djembre like last year.
The Count finds his true purpose once more as he gathers with his frantic friends on his own Tom Tom.
Oozaru stomps, roars, and thumps along with the rhythm of the drums, with the full Indian moon giving him more power and enticement.
The Spear Guy prances around the bonfire with the Gerudo showing off his usual attire and glee.
This is now the nightly tribal ceremony underneath a golden, full, Indian Summer moon. All through the night, everyone has been growing more deeply into the assembly as they gladly join on all the fun of the drums and the alluring dances of their future mates. You will certainly love it on what the people that turned Ikran on have to offer. Please join her as she embraces this thrilling tribal performance...
The 3rd Tribal Ceremony Begins[]
Yes... We have the 3rd Tribal Ceremony commencing at night. Everyone has gathered within the teepee village around the blazing bonfire igniting their passion as they dance with the drums... Or watch. This one has been divided into two parts, with the first dragging in some veterans as well as newcomers to the group.
Returning tribal members for the 3rd enticing ceremony include:
Charizard: He lets out all his fiery fury as he roars and soars above the assembly. showing off his tribal pride...
Venusaur: He thumps and roars to the beat of the drums wearing his enticing outfit... AS he lures in other members and encourages them to embrace it. "Saur...."
Blastoise: He shows off more of his large shell with the enhanced tribal markings as he watches the intriguing dance.
Gavin (Battle Hawk of Darkness): Without his chieftain along, he still embraces the ceremony with pride as he wears his full, ominous outfit as he beats his own massive drum. While also absorbing the beauty of the dances and the other drums...
The Gerudo Women also make a return as one prances around the fire with her whispering drums, while the rest of them passionately beat on their own drumline, drawing in and enticing the crowds...
Braviary: He flies along with Tribal Charizard, as well as a new Flyer.
Rufflet: The tribal chick meets two newer, beautiful tribal birds and how he wishes to even mate with them.
Nightwolf: He makes a return honoring his tribe and taking in the scenery while beating on his own drum.
Oozaru: Once again, he passionately roars and thumps to the beat of the enticing drums and drawing in the moonlight. As it is shown, he's actually the Great Ape of a new child of the tribe, the feral child, Gohan.
Indian Chief/Chief Abdullah: He leads them as he watches and hits his tall drum with pride and great authority; as if the tribe itself are his own kids aside from Tiger Lily/Dragon Rose, or perhaps even his own loyal subjects.
Bongo Bongo: The Phantom Beast returns from the last assembly still beating along the massive drum with his fellow cohorts.
Sneasel and Weavile make a return frolicking amongst the group.
Laughing Bull: He makes a return as he enchants his brethren and entices others to embrace their roots as well as releasing a few incents in the process.
Spear Guy: Indeed he makes a return and pounces around the fire as he brings along his mate, the Spear Girl and his own kind!
New Members:[]
Cincinato: Introducing the first boss from Snow Bros; he's no longer alone as he finally lives with his tribal family without any fear or pain from the kids. He skips and leaps with the rhythm of the drums and embraces it.
The Tribal Trio: The unnamed, though enticing, group from one of the inciting Sesame Street clips. The beautiful birds dance as they follow along with the Lizard as he beats along with his new brethren. The birds also seem to admire Rufflet as well.
Mega Evolved Pidgeot: She soars along with Tribal Charizard and Braviary and shows off her prowess, much like the birds below.
Chuckie: He's the new kid of the tribe (not the son of Chaz!) as the tribe's own baby son. As he encourages and hypnotizes each of member of the group as he himself gets lulled by the drums. "Must have fun... Must play drums..!" Those were his first words... Even his hypno-glasses and his primal outfit is the perfect lure with his cries...
Phoenix Levin: Introducing the son o Luna Stewart and Jack Levin. He was chosen as the personification of the Thunder Dragon/Koryu, the center, the earth, and the changing of seasons. Much as Rick and Tinsel; there's still yet to find the chosen ones for the White Tiger and Azure Dragon. He watches the ceremony, wishing to be a good musician as his dad with Chuckie and...
The Gerudo Girl: She's now less shy and old enough to embrace the ceremony with her brethren. She's quite a cutie of the proud, enticing Gerudo.
Tikal: Looks like she's not the only cutie in the tribe; she too is attractive as she prances around the ring. She's quite a sight to see as she embraces the sacred Echidnas. She does feel she belongs here.
But that's not all the members this year. Meet them inside their comforting, warm, and enthralling tent performances...
Inside the Teepees[]
For the first time, in the 3rd Tribal Ceremony, we finally see what goes on inside the teepees, and it's just as enticing as the outside. Despite the assembly recruiting and entertaining the newcomers and returning members, the rest of the group either follow the rhythm or make their very own. It's seen more differently than the outside, as some members have their chance to embrace the drums; in this case, seduction. Three different teepees are shown as the ceremony rages outside, each one with their own drums and bonfires. It's warm, awkward, yet pleasant...
The first teepee displays the proud leader of the Injukhal, Domin, as he beats on massive bongos while the Count maintains the rhythm of the drums in his usual way. Neither of them seemed fazed as Cecil finally gives in to his impulses and mates with his love, Dragon Rose...
The second teepee displays Impa leading an enticing performance amongst a Gerudo woman, a love interest to Sheik and Link in his tribal attire, the Fierce Deity. Or in this case, Gerudo Link. It was surely a good way to relax after some hectic quests. Impa seems to accept the Gerudo's inciting charm...
In the last teepee Tinsel becomes fixated on her lover, Rick, clad as the Ryu Suzaku and the Genbu respectively. He gradually and hypnotically beats on the taiko and Tribal Drowzee guides him along. He embraces his sacred roots as well as display his affection for Tinsel while she watches on and takes in the enticing atmosphere...
When the time comes, each member shall either encourage them or give in to their thrall and mate with them...
4th Ceremony[]
More tribesmen shall be chosen, like any other annual ceremony. However, unlike the past times, the tribesmen had decided to stay while others would stay for only a month. Also, each summoned tribesmen'd be in a trance as the chiefs would communicate via drums and normally to give them tasks like hunting, procreation, etc.
It's mostly likely for those who're chosen would often hear tribal drums from a distance, even though they aren't there. But some might follow the sounds as they go into the trance as they received soundwaves from them. Even whenever they should play during the previous ceremonies in November...
One of the tribeswomen, Tinsel, thought of the name as the Enticers in her hypnotic state as an official tribe name for her new family; Rick consented on the offer.
Inspired by the roleplay with Unaliving Liu Kang, with him converting Aiko to a Revenant in preparation for the Unaliving War, aka the Unaliving War, onto the Elder Gods, and him accepting and embracing Aiko's and the Makeba's tribal techniques, they were chosen officially. In another roleplay, a Fujin RPer considered Nightwolf as his boyfriend, so he'd be there too. As would Aiko's first mate, Kung Lao, also as his Revenant self. The unaliving roleplayer also suggested to gather their recruits atop of the Eternal Palace and prep them for the chieftain's revenge against Darkseid.
Venusaur, Blastoise and Charizard observe from near the railing.
Rufflet as infatuated as he is joins with his mates.
The Sneasel line (Weavile, Sneasel and Sneasler) group together preparing to slice their enemies.
The new Tribal Revenant, Kung Lao, shows off his prowess as he grows enthralled by the distant drums...
Rillaboom, the Mega Evolved Pidgeot and even Dark Raiden grew intrigued with the upcoming fight.
The feral Gohan is ready to annihilate anyone as he's drawn in by the war drums.
Rick and Tinsel Wheeler remain close, also fascinated with this new foe.
Geras in his Aboriginal attire depended on Liu Kang for victory.
In front stood Dark Fujin, also in his inciting outfit prepared for battle.
Nightwolf groups with his new apprentice, Revenant Kung Jin, along with Kiba and his mate, while the young warrior's impressed and proud to stand by his family in the same undead, exotic faction.
Phoenix Levin wears his electric dragon attire and meets up with Skye Nakaiye.
Sheik and Fierce Deity Link stand at attention behind the young ones.
The new nurturer and warrioress, Kursed, remains by Gavin's side.
Braviary remains perched overlooking the new chieftain's preparations.
Tikal the Echidna, Drowzee, Count, Chuckie, one of the Gerudo girls, and their ageless boy, Michael Darling, gathered around the bonfire taking in their new master and mistress' words of the new enemy.
5th Ceremony?[]
Chances are you won't see Kirok nor Mirawanee this year... Those were just random ideas, but they've turned out to be flukes. The episode itself was lame in itself anyway... Others will return though and might take place after the Unaliving War. Some members might be seen who aged, such as Feral Gohan; his origin might be explained as from an alternate timeline with Goku living as a feral since he'd destroyed Grandpa Gohan's house and is no longer interested on finding his 4-star ball, since he met his spirit as a guardian to Annin and the Spirit Furnace which was leaking and burned down the Ox-King's village. Grandpa and Annin was fought off fiercely before Goku sealed the leak, but it was too late, thus never being married to Chi-Chi. In his rage, Goku never wanted to remember his lost grandfather again because of his and Annin overdoing their protectiveness and strict training! So, he lived as a natural vagabond; Feral Gohan's mother remained unknown, thus his existence and taken in by the Enticers.
Chosen Ones[]
Upcoming Members[]
Chieftains[]
These are the leaders of the Enticers, each one summoning their brethren forward and heading their tribes into certain tasks. They are also versatile and experts in everything they do, including hunting, summoning by drumming and incantations. They must also work with the tribe full time in order to be qualified aside from various skills.
Nourishers[]
The Nourishers, those who're guardians/parents (often females) over the tribe. Some can be warriors and drummers; others are mostly those who're the caretakers.
Warriors[]
Those in the Enticers who excel in fighting and hunting, even bravely defending their own from outside threats.
Inducers[]
Those who draw in other members, whether it'd be drumming and/or dancing. Those who recruit any close or distant Enticers to join their cause. Even some who want to settle and draw a mate. Aside from the chieftains, they function as hearts of the tribe.
Drums[]
Trivia[]
- In the beginning, Ikran's fascination started when she was little. At around 1991, specifically in June, she came across The Trip to Montanna miniseries in Sesame Street. It was fascinating on how she heard and gotten attached to these exotic drums and customs.
- At first, since The Count was in it, she thought he wore a headdress and once dreamed of his attire. Although it was a cowboy when she rewatched it as an adult earlier in 2023. Still, he was chosen, especially when she vaguely remembered him with Mr. Hooper counting the beats (1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8) on another drum.
- Not too far was her discovery of the African Dance in the Park classic clip. Her fascination was developed much further, and she was intrigued that so many Native American styles had originated from Africa itself.
- There was also this classic clip that Ikran can't find as kids gathered their small bongo drums to play outdoors. There was also someone dressed in a bird attire similar to Falco as a different mightier drum was played...
- After that, there was a random field trip to an Indian reservation, but she forgot when and where, sometime in early elementary school during the month of October. And while she won't know what tribe it was, the ceremony with the drums and chanting along with the pair of large, amplified speakers were mesmerizing...
- The Tribal Trio, as she calls the two female birds and the lizard, during the Fast and Slow classic clip was another turn on.
- Even the tribe of Neverland during Disney's Peter Pan followed suit... Hence was why Indian Chief and Tiger Lily were chosen, and soon came Michael Darling.
- As was when she remembered Skye from Puzzle Place to embrace and represent the Apache.
- Pocahontas was a turn off and not much of an impact, although Chuckie's hypnotic episode during the Rugrats' King Ten Pin was another trigger.
- Seeing the Spear Guys in action as she discovered Yoshi's Island at her parents' third mom-and-pop shop was another trigger.
- There was also the episode, 3485 on March 22, 1996, in which Telly was shown how to beat a taiko, and how a group traverse in a circle hitting each one. Thus, the idea including the taiko and making Rick/Ryu as its percussionist due to his Japanese heritage.
- Then, when she was 8 years old, Mortal Kombat 3 for the SNES came out and in came Nightwolf! He instantly became her favorite Kombatant, soon came Motaro, but he alone reminded her on just how invigorating tribal people are! Even when he was in Defenders of the Realm a year later, aside from Kiba being cute, and him winning over Quan and the Gem of Tetsurri. Annihilation...not so much. Still, Nightwolf was another trigger.
- On November 6, 1997, the episode We Got Rhythm from Barney & Friends aired. It may have been the date in which Ikran became entranced again.
- Followed by the third episode in The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest, In the Realm of the Condor, when Ikran was fascinated with the Inca and discovering condors. Dark Sentinel's summoning rituals of the Tigera guardian wasn't too far behind.
- Oozaru, especially from kid Gohan, was another random and tempting idea especially how he lets his rage loose as well as his transformation.
- The Fierce Deity was undoubtedly selected for this occasion. Even when Ikran was a teenager. Adult Link became an instant favorite in that time, and since he has similar factors to the Fierce Deity, the choice was perfect. Bongo Bongo playing on his massive drum was an instant pick, even the mighty, exotic Gerudo, and soon Impa and Sheik.
- There were random fragments like watching Dances with Wolves when she was a young adult, as was some moments of tension while growing up. Avatar wasn't much of a turn-on.
- The Makeba from Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance with the Drum Arena was almost instantaneous.
- Quite a few Pokémon were too unresistant to miss... Butch and Cassidy's Drowzee from the episode, Pikachu Revolts, was too irresistible to be left out. As were the Pokémon that were inspired by Native Americans, Rufflet and Braviary. Pidgeot's beauty was a nice touch especially for the aforementioned male only Pokémon. Even the might, mannerisms and looks of Mewtwo's clones, especially how Venusaur performed his powerful ceremony to make a group of Bulbasaur evolve. Sneasel was a nice touch as well. Rillaboom and Sneasler were newer choices; the Sneasel line's complete and another wild monkey who is obsessed with drumming was just the ticket, much like Oozaru!
- Back in 2002, in an emulation as she played little of Snow Bros at random, the first boss, Cincinato, and his jumps seemed tempting; even when Ikran envisioned him with an exotic wardrobe. The Lightfoot Tribe was another turnoff.
- Around 2009, when she was creating Fantastic 4 fanfiction, she got curious on the many types of tribal drums, thus the large array.
- By the time her FFIV OCs were made back in 2010, it wasn't long before Cecil joined the Injukhal.
- As Ikran looked up the Asian Gods, it was perfect for Rick (Ryu Suzaku), Tinsel (traits with the Black Tortoise), and Phoenix (similar to the electric dragon) to embrace their corresponding customs. Rick and Tinsel were her topmost favorite characters, and as a couple, while helping Phoenix explore their roots, it couldn't have been better!
- A lot of the fan fiction material like her OCs and story elements were heavily based on her past experiences. Soon, Gavin, Aiko and Tinsel became hypnotic just as she did. OCs were created for that purpose such as Domin, Dragon Rose, Chief Turgado, etc.
- Laughing Bull didn't take long in 2013. Gavin's dark and tribal side didn't take long.
- Approximately in 2021, she randomly saw an episode of the original Star Trek as the Perservers had Miramanee and Capt. Kirk as Kirok.
- Soon, more reps from Mortal Kombat joined in after she made the plot point in Deadly Alliance, and even in a RP with Fujin as he had Nightwolf as his boyfriend. So, he, perhaps the Revenants, and maybe Kung Lao, Jin and Aiko may join in with the Makeba. Kiba was of course Nightwolf's companion, so he'd tag along with his new mate.
- Kursed, the dark, abandoned side of Krystal, was suggested by VixDojo as Ikran asked for any fellow recruits; Kursed was a good choice as Krystak was discarded by the Starfox Team in Command as she left the group with ill will to them, becoming a lone antiheroine. Due to how society hates her too, Ikran decided for the cute, beautiful vixen to find a better purpose.
