F.A.Q


1. Are Kuniku roleplay required?
No they are not! Breeding is not roleplay required either, nothing is roleplay required here. Roleplayers can get certain perks however!

2. How many Kuniku may I own?
As many as you like, there's no limit.

3. Can we co-own a Kuniku?
Not at the moment, although this may be allowed in the future.

4. How much does a Kuniku cost?

Flatsale Kuniku cost 5k, sent directly to the mule. :3 Custom prices are located below <3

5. Can I sell my Kuniku/my Kuniku's pups to someone else?
No! But you can give them away for free to a friend if you'd like. If you don't want to keep all the pups from a breeding, the store can hold a free event to give them away, or you can hold your own (free!) event to give them away within the guild.

When the Gods created Nippon they intended for it to be a beautiful land of peace and prosperity; however as light will always cast a shadow, so evil was born into the world. Demons creeped into the land, slowly destroying the creatures the Gods had worked so hard to nurture. So the Gods created the Kuniku, a divine race born from the flesh of dogs with the purpose to protect and guard all life. It has been two centuries since the Kuniku were first introduced to the land, and while they still keep the balance between light and dark many Kuniku now simply look for a relaxing and pleasant life among the people that worship them; forgetting the warrior ways of the previous generations.

Hokkaido
This is the northernmost island. Covered in snow throughout the year it is mountainous and treacherous, and most human settlements are made toward the center where hot springs can be found that help to sustain life. Boats sometimes travel between Honshu and Hokkaido except in the winter when the sea between the two islands freezes over. During this time it is possible to walk between them; however the journey can be dangerous and is also long and boring.

Honshu
The most diverse of all the islands. The climate here ranges between snowy in winter at the north and tropical and humid toward the south. Covered in mountain ranges and valleys, deep forests, plains and marshes; the emperor of Nippon also makes his home here in the capital city of Maizoukin. The First Kuniku lives in his temple, guarding the inhabitants of the city.


Shikoku
The holy island. The most revered monks make their home here amongst the gardens and temples. No demon has ever been seen here, and some Kuniku think of this island as a place they can retire to. A ferry makes a daily trip between this island and the mainland.


Kyushu
A tropical island, the humans here make most of their living along the shoreline in old fishing villages. Inland can be found lush rainforest, occasionally interrupted by an abandoned temple or rice plantation. Boats are constantly travelling back and forth between the major harbor and Honshu, and it's easy for a Kuniku to catch a lift; especially considering they are thought to bring a safe voyage.

Inari

The messenger of the Gods, Inari is a shapeshifter who most often takes the form of a fox. He travels between the earthly and heavenly realms, relaying information from his masters to their creations. He often uses white moths to take messages to the Kuniku, especially when he needs to talk to many at a time. He may seem a little crude and sarcastic at times, but running the Gods errands all day can get a little tiring.

User Image

Ren

The first Kuniku ever created by the Gods. He has lived for two hundred years, and Kuniku often travel to see him and ask advice when they are troubled. He has taken it upon himself to guard Maizoukin and the emperor and can often be found wandering the streets or relaxing in the palace's gardens.

Here we have it, the divine race of the Gods. Closest to dogs in anatomy; they also contain aspects of lizards, birds, and some say cats. To find out more about Kuniku you can check out our roleplay guide here. All stages are unisex.

The Egg
Kuniku begin their life this way, either born from their mother or sent down from heaven. Most eggs are speckled with the colours the Kuniku will have when it emerges.

Time until growth: 3-4 days


User ImageUser ImageUser Image


The Pup
The Kuniku has hatched! As a pup they have wings, feathery manes, and hollow bones; allowing them to fly. This makes them very fragile- but they can much more easily escape danger by taking flight.

Time until growth: Around 1 week


User ImageUser ImageUser Image


The Adult
When Kuniku mature they receive a blessing from one of the many smaller Gods that inhabits the earthly realm, causing them to lose their wings and feathery mane. This exposes their horns and their lizard-like tail, and also causes their bones to fill in. Now an adult the Kuniku is ready to live its life however it wishes, and is strong enough to take on demons. Kuniku have the potential to live forever if they are not killed.


But what's this...


User ImageUser Image


Petite
Sometimes when a Kuniku is blessed it for some reason just doesn't grow quite as large as the others. This special brand of Kuniku is called a Petite. They are just as capable and strong as regular Kuniku, although some of them tend to have power complexes due to their size. There's no way of telling if a Kuniku will be a Petite until it reaches the adult stage.


User Image


Sub-species

Subspecies are created when a god decides they want to create their very own masterpiece. These Kuniku are strongly blessed to change to the god's liking when they reach adulthood.
Subspecies can all interbreed, although there is no mixing of traits.

Aquatic Kuniku
These Kuniku were blessed by the god of the sea. They are still mammals and breathe air; but they can hold their breath for up to two hours underwater. They are very fast swimmers; and although they can travel and live on the land they prefer to be close to water. Kuniku communicate in a way that doesn't require spoken words- so the holding of breath doesn't impede the aquatic Kuniku's ability to talk.

Bird Kuniku
These Kuniku were blessed by the god of birds. They retain their hollow bones and wings from childhood, which allows them to fly with ease. This does mean they aren't great in a fight, as their bones will easily break. They are more suited to scouting around in the case of enemies.

TOKENS

User Image


What are tokens?
Tokens are needed in conjunction with gaia gold to buy the items found in the Kuniku stores.

How do I get tokens?
There are lots of ways to do this! Staff will freely give out tokens to anyone being active within the store- that is posting and contributing in this thread or roleplaying within the guild. Some events will also give opportunities for you to earn extra tokens.

We keep track of who has tokens and how many here in the guild.

Sometimes Kuniku will group together to form a pack. Packs are rare- and can differ between being stationary packs with their own territories or wandering packs. A pack of Kuniku is generally formed by a group with a similar motive or ideology, and while most are friendly and welcoming to Kuniku not within the pack; some can be hostile toward outsiders.
All packs have at least one Alpha Kuniku, and when there are two they are usually linked romantically.

Pack F.A.Q


I want to make a pack. How do I do this?
1. You need an idea! All packs exist for a reason. Are they dedicated to travelling and fighting demons? Protecting a specific city?
2. Send a pm to the mule detailing your idea. If it's accepted, you can start recruiting in this forum.
3. Once five Kuniku owned by different people want to join your pack, send another pm to the mule. Your pack will become official and be given it's own sticky to roleplay in. If the pack grows large enough, it will get its own subforum in the guild.

Is there a limit on the amount of members my pack can have?
Nope!

Can my pack have a hierarchal system- alpha, beta, etc?
Yep! Each pack differs in the way they set this up, so it's completely up to you. Your alphas may have a few trusted lieutenants, or maybe a council; anything is fine.

Can my pack have its own religion?
Unfortunately no, the gods in the Kuniku's world are very real; they already know the facts about their existence. Your pack can have its own unique way of worshipping the gods however; or worship a specific god. If you'd like your pack to worship a god that is not yet named by the shop, pm the mule to see if the god is allowed. In Nippon, there are gods of almost anything!

Got any other questions? Feel free to pm the mule!
