Lunar Rabbits
Posted: Thu Mar 31, 2016 7:21 am
Hi everybody, I would like to introduce a lil bit of information about this race.
Lunar rabbits are just what they sound like: A species of rabbits that live on the astral level of the moon. Originally, they were just large rabbits (think dog-sized) who were very intelligent, able to learn languages, and walk bipedal (albeit awkwardly). They were keepers of the moon's history and secrets, and were said to be among the first to walk the moon. Legend has it that they welcomed the Lunar Folk with open arms and hospitality, and the Lunar Folk returned the kindness by granting them intelligence and souls.
Up to that is legend or history.
Either way, the lunar rabbits lived along side the Lunar Folk, often favored as pets and household guardians or caretakers.
The Lunar Folk themselves...who are they? There is still a lot of mystery shrouding the People of the Moon. What I do know is that they are highly advanced being, quite identical to humans or elves in appearance. They are ageless, but not immortal in the sense that they are indestructible. They can still succumb to wounds or disease, although medicine and technology is so advanced that it is highly circumventable. From what I have seen, they are very intelligent and very beautiful. Rumors have it that some famous Lunarians claim that they are some of the gods and goddesses behind some pantheons and myths.
Anyways, this near perfect race of people still had flaws. They tried to resolve conflicts peacefully and dissolve social hierarchy, but if everyone was bourgeoise, then who did the dirty work? What about when a conflict was at the political level and couldn't be solved peacefully, who was going to fight for them?
That's when the Lunarians laid their eyes on the rabbits. The rabbits became the selected species to become the workforce for the Lunar folk. Through magick and science (though the Lunar folk really don't seperate the two ideas), the rabbits were given human forms to shift to, and were engineered to bare traits that would benefit them in combat (or to the jobs they were being tailored for).
Lunarian militaries are made up of nearly entirely rabbits, and lower tasks like housekeeping are manned by them as well.
