[Lmpkio]

*Looks at the amount of RPs I'm in*

Yeah, I think I'll add one more. This place looks pretty chill,

Hi~!

Is it OK if I make like a guardian or some kind of warrior character that projects Hillhaven village? I know it's not within the role per say, but I think it would make sense to have somebody who is specialized in defending it from any monsters or threats, even if confrontations are far in between. I have a unique design for her that's pretty cool and could also illustrate some characteristics about her.

Is this fine with you guys?

Edit: If being solely a warrior/guardian doesn't work, could she perhaps be an ex-soldier who became an Innkeeper? She'd have plenty of stories to tell about her service in battle.

[Lmpkio]

Either way, here's my character - hope you like her!

[Yankee]

I love the idea of ex-soldier turned innkeeper. I also like the fishmonger! Woohoo, the town is coming along. There is one more interested party in the discord too.

[Haha]

@Lmpkio
Battle-scarred inkeeper is accepted! And thank you for the free worldbuilding.

[Lmpkio]

As mentioned in the discord, I've also been making little species profiles for all the animals and creatures you may see during your stay in Hillhaven. Essentially I'm trying to help in world-building.

Below are two sample profiles that set up what future profiles will look like. Expect more to come later if these are approved!

Oryctolagus magnauris

---

---

Plump-Eared Rabbit

---

Full Name:
Oryctolagus magnauris (Plump-Eared Rabbit)

Nicknames:
"Puffballs", "Walking Pillows", "Big-Ears", "Pompadours", (Any cute name will do)

Biomes:
Light Woodlands and Forests

Creature Notes:
A common sight around Hillhaven, these rabbits are commonly found within light woodland areas forging for food or hiding in little burrows. They are well known for their fluffy pompadour-like neck fur - which helps in protecting their necks from predators - and for their huge ears that are almost as large as its own body. They are often hunted for their meat and luscious cotton-like fur, however they can easily be domesticated and are a popular choice for children to keep as pets.

Corvelis maurocola

---

---

Black Cavern

---

Full Name:
Corvelis maurocola (Black Cavern)

Nicknames:
"Cravens"; "Cat-Raven"; "Raven-Cat"

Biomes:
Woodlands and Forests

Creature Notes:
Being only slightly larger than a common house cat, caverns are classified as small griffins. Unlike the common raven, or the common house cat, Black Caverns are quite elusive in the wild. Usually solitary creatures, these black-winged animals live in light woodland areas and often hunt small prey from rabbits to other small birds. Their forelimbs are shaped like those of a bird, perfect for hooking and grasping onto unsuspecting prey, while their hind-limbs and tail are cat-like, which helps them in jumping and balance. They are perfectly fine with walking on the ground as they are flying or perching onto tree-branches. They are often blamed for bringing bad luck and being down-right mischievous, as they are attracted to shiny objects and food. Witches and wizards can sometimes be seen keeping a craven as a pet.

Albino caverns have also been documented in the wild. However, they are far rarer and are usually seen living in snowy or mountainous environments where they blend in better. Unlike their black relatives, they are considered as an omen and a sign of good luck.

[Lmpkio]

With approval from the discord, here's two more that I've came up with - these being ungulate animals that Hillhaven could probably hunt for meat, hide, and other properties.

Ulmus rhinodensis

---

---

Navik

---

Full Name:
Ulmus rhinodensis (Thick-Nosed Elk)

Nicknames:
"Big-Nosed Elk"; "Navik"

Biomes:
Grassland Plains and Light Woodlands

Creature Notes:
Usually seen roaming in big herds on the northern plains, Naviks are a common sight for the natives living in Hillhaven. They are known for their large nasal cavities that blare up when they initiate their deep resonating bellows, as well as allowing them a very keen sense of smell. Elks can grow up to 1.6 meters tall at the wither, with bucks weighing in at 450 kg and cows being significantly less at 235 kg. A navik's diet shifts between seasons, with its main diet consisting of grasses and shrubs during the warmer periods, or woody shrubs and berries during the winter. Their meat is an essential part for the surrounding natives, being rich in nutrients and low in fat and is commonly served cooked, grilled, or as jerky. Their skin is also utilized in warm coats, hats, and boots during the winter.

Hicerotherium valliensis

---

---

Droger

---

Full Name:
Hicerotherium valliensis (Hairy Horned Beast of the Valley)

Nicknames:
"Maned Rhino", "Hairy Rhino", "Droger"

Biomes:
Strictly Grassland Plains

Creature Notes:
A huge horned beast, the droger is a magnificent beast that rules the prairies with its presence. They stand at roughly 2.5 meters tall at the shoulder, are over 5 meters in length, and can weigh in at 600 kg. Males are armed with a 1 meter long horn on their nose, with some being able to grow up to a meter and a half, while cows sport a significantly smaller one. Bulls are also much more muscular than the females, sporting a large mane used for intimidation and attracting mates. Droger usually stick to small family groups, being otherwise solitary in nature, however they have been commonly seen intermixing with other ungulate herds, such as the big-nosed Navik elk. They also sport a keen sense of smell and hearing that allows them to detect predators from up to half a mile away.

While usually calm and peaceful around people, a startled droger can be very dangerous due to its massive size and strength. Bulls can get even more aggressive during mating season. Still, wild droger are incredibly hard to hunt, yet the reward would be more then well-earned. They are prized for their meat and hide, as well as their milk from domesticated cows. Wild droger in particular are also highly sought after for their horns in the far east, for they claim it harbors medicinal properties and improves male vitality, despite scientists and ecological activists brutally debunking this claim.

[Blubaron45]

@Blubaron45
The only thing I’d ask for you to adjust before being accepted is your appearance choice. Since we’re all 100% artwork it’d be pretty jarring to have a one-off old times portrait. The appearance doesn’t need to be “anime” just some typical fantasy stuff. After that you’re all good!
