Good Things Come In Small Packages!

✧ Username: Anhelisk
✧ Preflist: Please only enter M1-M4 if you have a linked roleplay or preexisting male muskie permission!
✧ Have you won any Kin this December: This may be used during rolling! Preference for one of the kin will go to someone who has won no kin, or failing that, who has won no edited kin.
✧ Have you won any familiars this December: This may be used during rolling! Preference for at least one male muskie and at least one other muskie will go to someone who has won no fams, or failing that, no edited/rare fams.
✧ What was one thing you wanted to get done this year, but didn't get around to?: For me this year, it was getting this booth up at a reasonable time.
✧ Roleplay: If you would like, link to a completed solo post or RP where your kin readies a proper environment for a muskie to live in! This can count as permission for a male muskie if completed. The RP may be in-progress, but must have over 300 words, 6 posts, OR tell a complete story. This does not require any ties to the Winter Market, but must be played in the real world or a very similar AU, one where your kin would remember all the relevant details.

MUSKIES: Originating from plains and dry forests, muskies have begun to expand their reaches into the desert, foothills and the swamp! They are friendly companions and sexually dimorphic: adult male muskies sport luxurious manes!

FEMALE MUSKIES: The easier to tame of the two by far, female muskies are known as vixens and live a nomadic lifestyle, moving around on a day-to-day basis. They may form small packs, and rear their pups from birth to adulthood, giving birth in litters of around 3 pups and nursing them until they're old enough to leave their birth-dens.

MALE MUSKIES: Territorial and responsible for making a suitable place for their young to live out their most vulnerable of days, a male muskie, or muskie hound, will spend his days working on digging a den in dry, elevated dirt, and patrolling and hunting on his territory. Given the topography and flooding common in the swamp, there are fewer areas suitable for nesting than in other climates, making for many fewer of the males than there are females.

PERMISSION: Male muskies MUST be homed to a kin that doesn't travel often, and has a specific home or territory where they spend most of the year.

BREEDING: Muskie breedings producing only females may be done at any time without permission. If you wish for a chance of male pups, you just have to ask, and the owner/s of any males produced in the breeding must fit the homing requirements.

WAIT, I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO ROLEPLAY: If you tell a complete story of a kin preparing a suitable home for a male muskie at any time, just DM me and I can give you permission for a male muskie for the kin in the roleplay! Requirements are simple: show your kin preparing a home for a new companion (they don't need to have a muskie in mind), and make sure the kin fits the general rules for homing a male muskie (spending most of the year on a specific piece of land)!

CAN A KIN OWN MORE THAN ONE MALE MUSKIE?: Yes, but the owner may not find the results to be favourable! They may squabble or split the territory up unless they're REALLY well-trained or just happen to be a perfect match.
