Yep, I finished it. This is the first draft so I imagine as things go along I'll find more stuff to add, but for now I think it's pretty detailed ;P Enjoy!

***********Flunny Character Creation Guide***********

So you saw this crazy bunny thing with antennas running around and said “hey, I wanna make one of those!”, or maybe you’re just interested in learning more about this absurdly cute species. Either way, you’ve come to the right place!

This character creation guide is relatively short, but useful. I suggest that if your intent is to create a character that you do read the species information, as all flunnies/flabbits created must follow the guidelines set forth.

Ownership note:

You have full and total ownership of any individual character created using this character guide (to draw, write stories about, commission or make a fursuit of), but the species itself and the “way they work” are a product of a lot of work done by myself beforehand, and thus should always be credited to myself (Laura/Tikka, hookahfox on FA). I expect any works you create involving your flunny where you would state something such as “Starbuck is © me,” You will also make note that “Flunnies/Flabbits were created by hookahfox on FA”.

Species Information
**********************

Hybridization
***********
Flunnies are a hybrid species. They are a cross between a bunny and a specific type of flower. Any known species of bunny or rabbit is fair game, as well as any known species of flowering plant. This allows for a wide range of diverse appearances in individual flunnies, though there are some common traits that are always shared.

Gender, Sexuality, and Reproduction
***********
All flunnies are dual-sexed and possess both male and female reproductive organs- but not in the sense that humans do, so you will never see a flunny with a giant penis running around poking other flunnies. That just isn’t how it works. I usually refer to flunnies as “her” and “she” but as far as gender goes (gender IDENTITY, meaning the gender which your character presents to the world as, *not* biological sex) you can do whatever you wish.

Flunnies have two antennae on their heads that are regarded as the “female sex organs” of their anatomy, much like the carpels of a flower. Usually in flowers, the carpals are together and form the pistil. The parts of the pistil that are on top of the flunnies head are the stigma and the style- but the style extends much further down into the body than can be seen externally. Once inside the body, the style goes down the back of the skull and traces down the spine alongside the spinal cord before dipping inward to connect to an ovary. Their whiskers are much like the stamen, which are the male part of a flower. The nose of the flunny is the color of the pollen associated with the flower species you have chosen- shades are usually some form of yellow or orange. Where dogs and cats sometimes have very wet noses, Flunnies’ noses can become “polleny” - covered in pollen. Because of this, the flunny’s nose is often visited by bees, butterflies, and the like (which makes for CUTE PICTURES omg x3). This along with the pollen itself can make the flunny’s nose very itchy, which triggers the impulse to scratch with one of her back feet. If in this scratching any of the pollen gets on her antennae, the flunny may become pregnant. I’m not going to go nuts into percentages and flunny contraceptive methods because I have at least some semblance of a life (lmao), but yeah, there’s a good chance. If the pollen finds its way onto another flunny’s antennae, congratulations, you’ve just experienced flunny sex. OMG HAWT. If those flunnies happened to be hybridized with the same flower species, they can indeed get each other pregnant- but again, ONLY if they are of the same flower species. This comes from the fact that plants can only fertilize eggs of the same species, and there are chemicals that prevent the fertilization of flower eggs that are of a different species.

When a flunny DOES become pregnant, it’s... an interesting process. Throughout the entire pregnancy, the flunny’s ears will be down. This mimics the wilting of the petals of a flower when the ovules are fertilized- only thankfully for our flunny, those ears won’t fall off like flower petals do. ;P The fertilized ovules will develop into seeds, and the fertilized ovary will become FRUIT. Yes... fruit. Of course, this word means different things to different plants, but the one thing they all have in common is that they enclose and protect the seeds. When the fruit is starting to ripen, the flunny will give off an incredibly sweet smell, signifying it is almost time. When the fruit is fully ripened, the flunny will go into labor, delivering a happy bouncy baby... fruit. xD YES. They have vaginas woohoo whatever moving on. ;P It may not seem like a joyous occasion but for a flunny it is a very happy and very SERIOUS time. They must guard the fruit with their life, for the seeds which it protects are one of only two litters of children the flunny can have in a lifetime. Two ovaries, two fruits, two pregnancies. Thankfully, the fruit may actually have many seeds within it (depending on plant species of course), so one pregnancy could result in a bucketload of flunny babies.

After the fruit has been birthed, the mother flunny plants the seeds in the ground and tends to them just like any other faithful gardener, and if she does her job wisely, she’ll have a garden full of babies in a few more weeks! The babies are INCREDIBLY tiny and are birthed out of the very flowers they are crossed with... so when your Stargazer Lilies finally open in the spring, don’t be surprised to find a very tiny little hippity hop inside ;P

Herbivore? Carnivore? Nope!
***********
Flunnies don’t eat food. ;P Again, at least not in the sense that we think of it. Flunnies create energy via photosynthesis, so they love bathing in water (not too long!) and basking in the sunlight. If a flunny is hungry or hasn’t eaten in a while- in other words, if they need water and/or sunlight, their ears will be down. If a flunny is in the dark for an extended period of time with no sunlight, again, their ears will be down. If a flunny does not “eat” for too long, they can die. Most flunnies’ ears are regularly down at night time due to the lack of sun, but it’s nothing to be alarmed about.

Flunny Society
***********
Flunnies are a tribal society. The flower family you are born into is the tribe to which you belong. All lilies belong to the Lily tribe, roses to the Rose tribe, so on and so forth. Tribes live together and help to tend and protect each other’s gardens and young.

Creating your flunny
**********************

Ready to make your own? Goodgood! It should be pretty easy assuming you’ve read through the species information outlined above. :) Pick a name for your flunny, a rabbit species, a flower species, gender identity (will your flunny IDENTIFY AS male, female, androgynous, non/don’t care, etc), and make sure to include the following:

*Antennae like the carpel of the flower you’ve chosen
*Whiskers like the stamen of the flower you’ve chosen
*Nose the color of the pollen of the flower you’ve chosen
*Color scheme of the flunny based on the flower you’ve chosen
*Ears modeled after petals of the flower you’ve chosen

And make sure to REMEMBER the following:
*NO FLUNNY PEENS
*NO FLUNNY BEWBS
*Flunnies do not have HUMANLIKE INTERCOURSE so yeah... porn doesn’t make much sense <.<
*Credit the species to me anywhere you would credit yourself for your character!

If you have any questions whatsoever that are not answered by this guide, please contact me on FA @ hookahfox through a note and I will get back to you ASAP!

Have fun!
