Where is this? What are Kirin?
"We welcome you to the land of Malin. We're a small area in Northern Ireland. Mostly it's a lot of farmland from here on out. beyond that, we're surrounded by forest on three sides. Here we're resident to the deer dragons, Kirin. The Kirin are descendants of the Qilin, known in eastern asian culture, those deities look similar to their modern day descendants, and were thought to appear with the arrival or passing of a ruler. These ones however, are much smaller than what they used to be, and have migrated westward it seems.
They're easy to domesticate, but they need space, and a herd to be comfortable. That doesn't stop people from taking them to live in urban areas however, and the Pygmies have become popular to become housepets. Granted, there are still a lot of wild herds out there. It's unlikely we'll ever find out their numbers anytime soon either.
I assume you're too here for a Kirin?"
Your First Kirin, and it's Fate
First things first, and that's finding your first Kirin. The first one is always the most important, and cannot be changed later, so chose wisely!
After picking up your first Kirin it's time to decide it's path. Will it remain a Wild Roaming Kirin, left to survive on it's own? A Wild Roaming Kirin will face new challenges, moving on from it's own herd to mature and create it's own.
Maybe your Kirin will be taken to become an Urban Pet. A kirin taken for a pet will be looked after by a human or other intelligent being, in a city or town. Are they a pet? a service animal? only time can tell.
Still more background info?
This story takes place here on earth. Kirin are the descendants of the mythical Qilin, and have adapted to the modern day world, mostly by downsizing. They've started migrating west and appear mostly around the Northern Ireland area. There have been pop up ranches and sanctuaries for people domesticating and breeding these creatures, although there are still many many more roaming the area.
Kirin prefer to live in denser areas, preferring forests to open plains any day. They're omnivores, and both can and will hunt smaller animals but have a preference for plant matter and fruits.
With your first kirin, you get to write their story, develop them and their relationships with others. You get to chose their fate, what paths they take in life, and where it can take them.
What paths can i take? I'm still confused?
