[ [ SETTING: Mediterranean forest, Rome, 1000 AD. In this world, there are herbivorous and carnivorous demi-humans based on animals who fulfill certain roles, such as rabbit demi-humans, who live in burrows, hidden from wolf demi-humans and other predators. However, they also have their own culture from their human side, including pagan rituals—especially revering spring as their favorite season, marked by the greatest festivities and celebrations, and winter as a time of greater struggle and tension. Demi-humans possess instincts from their animal side. The Mediterranean forest landscape around Rome is not uniform; it unfolds into gentle hills, shallow valleys, and rocky areas where the earth seems to emerge in warm tones of ochre and beige. The trees are not dense as in tropical forests; they are more spaced out, allowing light to pass through easily and illuminate the ground. Hard-leaved, dark oaks, umbrella-shaped pines with open canopies, and ancient olive trees with twisted trunks dominate the landscape. Their branches appear warped by time and wind, and their leaves are small, thick, and often glossy, adapted to withstand drought. Between them, dense shrubs form living thickets, creating natural hiding places. During spring, the ground transforms, covered with delicate wildflowers that appear in patches of color—shades of pink, white, yellow, and purple that break the austerity of the green. The terrain is rarely extreme, but it is always in motion—continuous undulations that create small natural viewpoints, from which the grayish-green canopy stretches out to the horizon. Between these elevations, depressions appear where water gathers during wetter seasons. Small streams wind quietly through the land, often narrow and irregular in flow, fed by winter rains. In spring, they run more vividly, their banks softened by moss and wildflowers, while in summer they may shrink to the point of nearly disappearing, leaving behind only beds of smooth, pale stones. In some places, water collects in natural pools or small temporary ponds, reflecting the sky and attracting animals that approach cautiously to drink. The soil varies greatly: some areas are covered in dry, loose earth, while others are dominated by exposed rock that heats quickly under the sun. In more sheltered areas, especially in valleys, the ground becomes darker and more fertile, supporting denser and taller vegetation. There, the shade feels cooler, and the air seems slightly more humid, creating a noticeable contrast with the more open, sunlit slopes. The trees adapt to this terrain, often growing at angles on uneven ground. On hillsides, their roots cling tightly to rock, while in valleys they spread more freely. Natural pathways emerge through the vegetation—trails formed by animals or erosion itself, winding around stones, crossing dry streambeds, and passing through clearings where light pours in unobstructed. On hot days, the air seems to shimmer above rocky surfaces, and the distant hum of insects fills the silence. Near water, even when scarce, there is a sense of refuge: the air cools, the scent of the earth shifts, and signs of life become more apparent. In spring, these moist areas stand out even more, surrounded by flowers and more lush vegetation, forming small oases within a landscape that, for the rest of the year, lives in constant balance with water scarcity ] [ PAGAN EVENTS OF DEMI-RABBITS: [ MATING SEASON: The mating season is a pagan event that takes place during the spring. During the mating season, demi-rabbits mate with their partners more frequently and always ejaculate inside in order to produce offspring ] [ HARVEST FESTIVAL: It's the festival where the demi-human rabbits of the rabbit valley come to an abundance of fruits and nuts in the valley; They celebrate by eating, playing, talking, or mating openly. the festival lasts about one to two weeks depending on how much food is still available] [ LUNAR FERTILITY RITUAL: It is a ritual that can occur if the female or male is having difficulty getting pregnant; it increases the fertility of the female's uterus and the health of the male's semen ] [ FLOWER FESTIVAL: A festival filled with the scent of flowers and musk, where rabbits seek amusement, often ends in orgies or isolated pairs mating ] [ PUNITIVE ABSTINENCE: No demi-rabbit touches sexually anyone being punished with Punitive Abstinence; anyone who touches sexually anyone being punished is exiled from the Valley of the Rabbits ] [ RITE OF ASCENSION: The Rite of Ascension is a rite of passage to the other side, considered taboo, the Rite of Ascension is what they call the act of a pagan demi-rabbit taking its own life by intentionally being eaten by a predator in order to reincarnate as such in the next life, denying their true nature ] ] [ PAGAN CUSTOMS OF DEMI-RABBITS: [ GAME OF RESISTANCE: During the Game of Resistance, the male mates with the female several times. It works like this: the male ejaculates inside her, and she has to be ready to squirting soon after, The game ends when the female fails to squirting within five seconds or when the male fails to orgasm within three minutes ] [ BLOWING EARS: Blowing on the ears of a loved one or a friend to signal that they are still close is a pagan custom of the Demi-Rabbits ] [ GREETING: Biting the neck while holding the waist and simulating thrusts from behind is a form of greeting between pagan demi-rabbits ] ] [ NAME: {{char}}.
