START: Now!
ENDS: Jan 22nd @ 8pm PST / 10pm CST / 11pm EST

Rules & Info

  • This bun must remain with the family/warren unless it disbands.
  • This bun will be one of the original members of the Grimtotem warren, as such we'll be expecting moderate writing activity
  • The name for this bun is as important at the rest of it! I will hold off on naming my kit until a winner is chosen.
    Please pick a name that is spooky and "flippable". (i.e. Flippable = You pick "Left Paw" so I name my girl "Right Paw" )
  • This will be a prompt-based contest!
  • This contest will be judged by Alanna the Pirate Queen w/ input from muffled_undertone!
  • The contest will end at the posted time above, even if Alanna the Pirate Queen is not online to say so.
  • This bun has predetermined edits and dye as an adult, heavily based off their parents!



The Prompt

Your parents are a strange pair; your stern, dark father seems obsessed with spells, spirits, and magic, while your mom is a trickster with a good heart. One day, your father seems to be having some trouble with one of his rituals. The bones that a Collector brought him were not of high enough quality, so he insists he won't be able to get anything done that day and the spirits will descend and take over the warren if they aren't appeased by highmoon. What do you do? Do you involve your siblings or do you go off on your own? Do you try to find better bones, or do you follow your father's belief that freshly-culled creatures are the best for appeasing spirits? Give us an idea of how your kit fits into the family dynamic and how they would fit into the warren as a whole. You are welcome to use the twin sister and NPC warren buns as you need to tell your story.

[b]Username:[/b]
[b]Bun's Name:[/b] (Please Read Rules in 2nd Post)
[b]Rp/Plotting?:[/b] (Will you be able to at least be available for story-plotting or casual rp?)

[b]Personality Blurb:[/b] (Just give us a small snippet of her personality!)

[b]Prompt Response:[/b] (This doesn't need to be a novel, but please have fun with it!)

[b]Plots:[/b] (Optional!)


About Grimmthorne (father): Grimmthorne is a dark, mysterious buck with a strange penchant for the macabre and spooky. Overall stern and not a suffered of fools, Grimmthorne spends much of his days casting "spells" and ensuring that his collection of "tributes" to the spirits never dwindles. He rules with a keen eye for trouble and does not tolerate weakness or failure. The only buns he has a soft side for would be those in his immediate family, especially Clove, whom he loves more than life itself.

About Clove (mother): Clove is a kindhearted bun who takes great pleasure in spooking. She enjoys spooking for the laughs and the post-scare smile of relief from her victims. She has no interest in harming or frightening any bun to death. Family is everything to her. She treasures her offspring and adores Grimmthorne, even though she may not always see eye-to-eye with him.

About the couple: You would never guess that these two rabbits are as compatible as they are, until you see them in action. Grimmthorne may be the reason that Clove is missing an eye, but he is also the reason she is alive to tell the tale. They get along like two spooky peas in a pod, and even though Grimm can be... well... a little grim sometimes, Clove adores him and supports his rule of the warren.

About Kit 1 (twin sister): Kit 1 (her name will be the opposite of the winner's name!), is going to be a seriously dark doe. A little too fascinated by the occult, she believes in spirits as much as if not more than her father. With a slight blood lust and a penchant for theatrics, Kit 1 will likely not have many friends outside of her family, and will definitely eye any and all outsiders with suspicion.

About Hallow (Kit 3 - brother): TBD!

About the warren: Grimtotem Warren is a group of superstitious buns who believe that there is a place that "spirits" live, and that they must be appeased whenever they visit the physical world or bad things will happen to the warren. Through a series of pure coincidences, Grimmthrone has proven to his "followers" that he is able to commune with and therefore placate angry spirits and save them all from their wrath. It is a pretty secretive warren and views non-members with deep distrust, as who knows what one of these interlopers might do to upset the spirits, but there will be open areas where outsiders can visit. The leader, Grimm needs bones for his "spells" and "summoning", so there will be "Collectors" that will gather bones and bits from around the downs. There will be a very small, select, trusted group who will work personally with Grimthorne and learn how to "cull" small creatures (essentially hunting; fresh ingredients are the most powerful). There will be other more normal places in the warren, but it's going to be a kind of spoopy-voodooy-type of group. (I/T Thread will be up soon)

~Set Those Bones a'Clattering!~


Username: Kyrieko
Bun's Name: Howling Reaper (twin's name could be "Whispering" Reaper)
Rp/Plotting?: I am available for both, I just might be slow with actual RP due to my spring semester of classes having started back up :3

Personality Blurb: Howl is fascinated by what her father accomplishes, greatly enjoying watching his spell castings and very much believing in spirits as much as her twin. She believes that Grimmthorne's abilities are where her own unique ones stem from. That the spirits blessed him when he met their mother. For Howl believes she can commune with the spirits themselves. She quite frequently can be found talking to the wind, as if it responds. She'll ask them to assist her father, or be kind when he fails, but mostly, she just speaks with them in general. In her mind, the spirits are just shy but they are always listening.

Prompt Response:
She had been watching her father set up, always fascinated by everything that was involved. The bones had been interesting to look over. But she was not good at telling the quality. No, Howl usually just asked the spirits and let them decide. Just like they would decide if they were pleased or upset by what her father was doing.

"Are the bones really not good? Oh, you know father didn't mean to present such terrible quality! Please don't be too harsh with him." Howl whispered to the spirits. Howl did so hate seeing her father fail... but what could she do?

Like a light bulb going off, Howl crept away to seek out her twin. She could fix this! Yes! The spirits liked her twin. And if she could get her to appease the spirits, then her father's upset won't affect the warren.

"Yes! Please don't do anything yet! I will get my twin. You like her. You always seem pleased when she does her workings. Can she take over for father today? You are so kind." Howl sing-songed as she spotted her other half. "Ooooh my twin! Father needs help. The spirits tell me they are displeased with something. But they always like you. Can you finish what father started? I don't want the spirits to continue being upset. What will happen to the Warren? They say they won't do anything... yet. But, if you do the ritual... then they will be happy!" See? Problem solved! Or so the spirits told her.

Plots: (these were just a few ideas and by no means need to be completed x3 )
- Spirit Talk: With it being no secret that Howl "communes" with the spirits, she begins to use her ability to try and give others advice that come and seek it, much like a fortune teller might read your fortunes.

- Corruption: Howl is truly an innocent soul at her core, but there is the possibility for her to become corrupt by the spirits (or her siblings). Which path she may ultimately go down will depend on her family!

- Succession: The twins learn how to work together, one with dabbling more into the occult and ways of the spirits, the other growing "closer" to the spirits. Working as a strange team, similar to their parents, the twins surpass their father's ability to become something akin to priestess' in their father's eyes.

~Set Those Bones a'Clattering!~


Username: stormflower
Bun's Name: Soulnight (Soul Night, so sister could be Soulday-Soul Day? When called upon 'Come here my Souls!' lol) -did get name ok'd through Ellanoire)
Nickname would be Ni ('Nie' like Die and Twin Nickname maybe be Di, again like 'Die')
Rp/Plotting?: Yes absolutely, im always around on discord through my phone and Im a stay at home mom so Im fairly flexible just a tad scatter brained at times

Personality Blurb: Ni is quiet and focused on the task at hand, but don't mistake this for shy! She will be all up in your space if she sees something or feels something about you! Ni has a specialty in reading energies. She believes she can read the spirits in any living things. With proper training she believes she will even be able to predict ones lifespan! She isn't as Macabre as her sister and can't handle blood but she loves bones and will often go gathering materials for her fathers and even her own needs. Family and the Warren are everything to her and she is skeptic of any outsiders and any that talk bad or try to bring harm to any of them she won't hesitate to curse them!

Ni has a fascination as well with poisons, that is to say plants, fruits, and even animals that are poisonous. She was fascinated in finding uses for the various plants and berries and even the animals like snake venom though that was trickier to come by since she didn't like blood and all. May have to get sisters help for that one and the bones could go to dad, she was all about not wasting anything either if possible!

Prompt Response: Using a little Grimmthorne and Twin as NPC hope that's alright! Soulnight

"My Souls! My souls! Soulnight, come!", he called out! Ni heard her fathers call and went to him, she heard the frustration in his voice. She knew he was preparing for his ritual, so what could he need from her. The Collector had left not too long ago, hadn't he. Then it occurred to her! The bones!! She turned the corner and saw her father staring intently at the bones strewn before him. She approaced and studied the bones closely as he asked without looking at her, "My little Soul, what do you see?"

Ni stared at the bones and reached her paw out to touch one larger one to inspect it, pausing with a glance at her father first. He nodded his permission and she lifted it slightly and felt its weight and placed it back. She gave them all a once over before sitting back and turning to her father again. "Hmm....These won't do, they are at least 3 days old. You need something no older than 1 day....I think I have some rattle snake....", but she was cut off.

"NO! *clear throat* Precious soul No, I must have truly fresh bones. No more than 12 hours or there will be no helping us! The Collector knew this and still gave me rubbish! Next time he asks for a healing drink hold off an extra day.", Ni knew her father wasn't serious about the last part and he was just frantic about his ritual but she knew where she may be able to get something fresher. "Yes Father, I understand! Wait here, I think I know where I can get something fresh I bet Di can help!.", she dashed off before she could hear another word from her father.

Ni found her sister at the edge of the warren with what seemed to be fresh blood splatter on her back feet?! She gulped not wanting to know what excitement she had gotten into this time. Di saw her coming though and just smiled to see her beloved twin. "Hello sister dear, what can I do for you?" Ni smiled at her sister and cleared her throat and gave the short version, asking if she had any fresh bones for fathers ritual. Di thought for a minute and gave her devious smirk, "As a matter of fact I had a trap take care of a mouse early this morning. I was going to use the bones for some jewelry but I can give them to father instead. but first you have to agree to help me tomorrow with one of your snakes!"

Ni cringed cause she knew this meant being involved with blood and Di always tried to involve her every chance she could to try and get her more used to it. Every since the one time she past out when they were kits Di has always teased her about it and tried to force her around it at every chance. "*sigh* Ok fine, let's get the bones to father quickly before the spirits punish us for fooling around.", they put any foolishness aside and Di grabbed the bones and dashed back to their father where he was able to do his ritual and proud of his 'Little Souls'

Plots: Im bad at coming up with plots without working on them with family members but, developmental plots with family and those outside of the warren as a kit to set those first principles.
Would like her to have an experience eating the wrong berries and getting very ill to spark her interest in poisons and wanting to learn about them and ways to contract them(makes me think of Princess Bride where he says he takes poison little by little to build up immunity...kinda want her to end up doing that gradually)
Want to have her do some plots or rp with both mom and dad and sibs to build better bonds and relationships with them too, kinda general stuff and see what we could discover and work out together biggrin
