Oh nice that was more interest more quickly than I anticipated lol. Well, I guess to start off, does anyone have any ideas, feedback, or opinions to put forward to start fleshing this out a bit?

No problem, I'm not in any kind of rush.
Y'all got room for another?
As the title says, this concept needs some more work, but I've got the base idea of it basically being a somewhat quirky school for magical creatures who are trying to integrate into the human world from Faerie, the realm of the fae (basically all magical/supernatural creatures in this are referred to as being fae, including things like vampires or werewolves). It's definitely meant to be a more lighthearted, silly kind of concept where somewhat over-the-top tropes would be welcome and even encouraged (both anime and fairy tale tropes or other such storytelling stereotypes).
My main idea is that Faerie is basically the fairy tale land, a fantasy world with magic and mythical creatures- probably even actual living fairy tales (like Snow White and all that). There are some regular humans that live there (or there wouldn't really be fairy tales), but they are less common than magical creatures, and live perpetually in a medieval type society. The human world is just that- pretty much the regular modern human world. For a few reasons (mainly plot convenience), the existence of Faerie and of fae themselves is kept secret from the human world, but fae (and occasionally humans) from Faerie do sometimes decide to immigrate to the human world for periods of time, whether for study, recreation, or just a change of scenery- or to escape their past in Faerie. Because their world and true existence need to be kept secret, though, before they are allowed to visit the human world they must first learn to blend in, which means, essentially, that they have to learn how to pass as modern humans. And that means school.
As an additional twist, maybe there are also some humans attending the school who want to move to Faerie, and they have to learn from the fae how to live in that society as well? This is an optional side plot.
Anyways, probably most of the teachers at the school would be regular humans from Earth, or else some fae that have lived on Earth for a long time and know how to better "relate" to their fae students. Most of the characters would be students, basically just learning about the modern world from the perspective of long-lived (and possibly powerful) medieval magical creatures, using their powers for shenanigans and occasionally going on field trips to the human world (or maybe Faerie as well) and probably also causing shenanigans there. It would leave a lot of room for creativity, a lot of silliness, and some possible serious moments and character development as well. Could definitely have some more serious plots at different points, like having to try to stop evil fae from getting to the human world and exposing them all or things like that. But mostly it would be pretty lighthearted.
Would anyone be interested in doing something like this?

That would be hilarious lmao. Though someone could still nickname him "cub" as kind of a teasing insult, even though it doesn't directly have anything to do with his name.
As a side note, I feel like I do need to come up with a catchier name for the rp as a whole more than just "primitive tribe," buuuuut I think in terms of what the tribe's name is as far as what they call themselves is actually something that the characters can decide over the course of the roleplay. Like, at the moment their interaction with most other tribes has been brief and distant so they really haven't needed a name to "set them apart," but eventually that may change and they have to decide what to call themselves as a people. Which could be a cool thing of them eventually forming an identity for themselves as a culture as time goes on.
But I still need to think of something better to call the roleplay lol.

Names aren't always based on the parents', so if you felt like you wanted to change it to reflect Magura's and the mother's you certainly could, but it's not strictly necessary. The only particularly meaningful name I could think Magura might give him could be naming him after an animal that's thought to be strong (like Bear or Ox) as sort of a "to give him strength" thing, but if you wanted to keep his name AND have it be meaningful, he could also be named after a deceased family member, like one of his parents' parents, or siblings, or something of that nature.
As a side note, I feel like Kachiro and Tsuka definitely need to become friends lmao.
Looks good! In terms of character ties, maybe he could be Magura's son? Just the idea of Magura being a massive man and renowned hunter having this tiny son and everyone being like "ehhhh idk if he can be a hunter" and then him ALSO being really good seems cool. Also that prankster, kind of cocky personality seems like something that would be appropriate for the son of a chieftain lol. But only if you feel like that would fit with the character. Either way, he's definitely approved.
Edit: That was directed at @Potemking. Looking over @AjaxNightshade's now.
Edit2: I also really like Kachiro! As a side note, I feel like he definitely would have something made from the cougar's bone left over, maybe just a little skinning knife or something like that. Sounds like it was a pretty special kill, so definitely something they would use the bones of in case they need to "borrow its strength" later on at some point.
As for where to put it, you can probably just edit the form into one of your posts in the characters tab.
