Hattori X Kiriko litter

Hi hello! I'm going to try and keep this short because I'm lazy, and you all know how this works by now, hopefully. The litter is 11 pups in total with SIX slots available. We have only two free pup slots, so I'd prefer if you bought your own, but if you broke as hell I can probably help. If you have any questions or concerns my DMS are always open. They are due on the 27th of December and playable of the 10th of January. Applications will close a few days after Christmas, not sure the exact date since I know the holidays can be busy. Will let y'all know! Just trust that they will be announced before they're playable so you have time to set up profiles and such!

Activity is a bit of a hot topic when it comes to adopts, and I just wanna get it out the way. At the end of the day we're here to write and have fun and the last thing I want is for anyone to feel as though writing any of my pups is a chore. Yet at the same time, I don't want folks to just post them once every couple of seasons and consider it a job well done. I can't judge too hard cause I go through phases of either posting a lot or shit all, all I ask for is a decent effort. On that note, I don't like activity checks so I'm not going to set a quota to meet, but if you ever feel like you're struggling keep me in the loop. Pups won't ever be yoinked from you without communication or warning. If you set them inactive for a little while that's fine, as long as you provide a reason why or what they'd be doing in the meanwhile. But if you don't post them for 3 months without letting me know they will be reclaimed and readopted out.  

Aight now onto the fun stuff.

TLDR of their backgrounds: The Hattori clan is kinda an upstart family both here and back in Nihon & Kiriko is the bastard daughter of the fallen and disgraced empreor of fake wolf Japan. Two very fancy-smancy lineages coming together to make some very well bred koi wolves. Hattori is a serious no-nonsense stubborn old man and Kiriko is a very graceful, if not a little manipulative pretty wifey.


Personality/ Alignment
Hattori is the strict father and Kiriko the doting mother. A strong sense of duty and loyalty will be instilled in this litter from an early age, Hattori is a proud man and has high expectations for his children. This litter is expected to more than agreeable than his last, sorry Oki :D. There’s no reason for the pups to be salty or disloyal fresh out of the womb, of course this can change with IC development but try and keep it real. Hattori can be a bit of a dickhead himself and has said and done some very morally questionable things; but if you're looking to play an evil and quirky wolf who is just a horrendous person for no reason at all, this probably isn't the litter for you. I'm all about context. Doing shitty things for the greater good or if it's deemed necessary? Heck yeah! Eating people for the shits and giggles? Nope, Tori wouldn't let that fly and they'd probably be culled. We're looking for mostly lawful and neutral characters, as Tojo doesn't really suit overly chaotic wolves. Kiriko won't be such a hard arse though and will definitely do the majority of the emotional heavy lifting, involved and a little anxious and overbearing she's gonna be a good mumma!

Mutations and discounts: Hattori has 4 mutations that are up for inheritance: his fancy horns, eagle claws, reinforced bones and enhanced vision. Other mutations are of course welcome, with toothy and antler/horny mutations being common in Hattori's family tree. Hattori's orange and Kiriko's reds are 50% discounted, whilst Tori's blue is 25%. Since Hattori is a dire there's a 25% discount up to 42 inches. If you're struggling with gems for colours or inches let me know, I might be able to help! I will probably take a peek at your gem credits though ;p

Other things I can't be bothered to make sections for:

• Naming theme is anything suitably Japanese or weeby.
  
• Upcoming potential plots include: arranged political marriages, other mini pack events I have planned.
  
• THE KOI WOLF AGENDA.
  
• Pups can roam further from Tojo as pups, by pping Tori's companions or travelling with a pack member. You shan't be locked inside the bamboo unless yer into that.
  
• I believe they're the first and only pure koi wolf litter on site?
  

Designs
Feel free to slightly edit these designs in your apps, such as eye colour, coat colours and skin colour.  For things harder to edit, like marking changes: making them more or less splodgy etc, just make a note of it in your appearance description in the application since I'll be getting us sibling art! And as always, unless you're accepted please don't use any of these designs! If you wanna design your own go ham, or you can even use pictures of koi fish as a reference!

If someone else has chosen the design you like, feel free to twin! Minor edits can be made!


Have fun and no worries if you don't manage to grab one this time, we'll be having another litter next year! Form is below, yadda yadda ya'll know how this works by now.
