Appearance: Grey, fluffy fur, with a white chest and belly. The bridge of his nose having a white fade, as his paws are a bit large, as well as fluffy. Long ears, filled with some light grey fur, and small claws.

Personality:

Extrovert: Having grown up with a large family, and many brothers and sister, he's not afraid to talk to others, and get to know them. Neither is he afraid to make friends with the even most intimidating rabbits. But that doesn't mean they always enjoy his company

Patient: Growing up in a large family, and being the largest of the litter, meant two things: Be the first, and watch out for yourself, or Make sure everyone got there own share of something first, before you did. He chose the latter. He also had to learn to be patient when he was helping his siblings out with anything, along with helping his own family, and learning things himself.

Gentle: Being the largest compared to your siblings was hard, and he dreaded the fact he could ever hurt them, so he learned to just take it when they were play fighting, though he didn't actually mind. It was fun to see how well his siblings were excelling in there training with there father.

Protective: Not necessarily knowing how to fight, he still tried to protect his siblings as much as possible from anything he though could hurt them. Using his own body to get them through brambles, or thorns they couldn't fit past. Even if it did hurt, the reward was always seeing his siblings so happy

Caring: Whether it's a small comment someone didn't mean, or something major. Something physical, or emotional, maybe even mental, you can always expect him to be there to care. To either lend an ear to listen to what's bothering you, or lend a paw to help with whatever he can. Otherwise, he'll try his best to help you to the healers if he can't do anything, or makes it worse

Over protective: Most of the time his protection can be good, until it becomes overbearing, and he tries to protect you from anything possible. Sometimes not allowing you to do most things yourself

Impulsive: When he's caring for someone, and something happens, depending on the situation he'll charge head first into the problem without thinking about how it's gonna end or how he's gonna work it out

Gullible: When it comes to higher ups, he'll mainly believe any of the first news he hears, to try and keep up as well as he can. Whether it be true or not, he'll listen to anything, and everything, just to make sure the kit/kits he's caring for will be safe, and he can be prepared

Mischievous: Sometimes, he'll join in with the kits on there fun and games, even suggesting a dare or two himself, and sometimes try to cause a bit of trouble

Show off: It will never be about himself, that's for sure. He'll always show off his family, or friends, on almost every little thing they do, and most of the times, it will cause others to be irritated by it

Sexuality: Bisexual

Kits: Oaktree (alive), Redwood (alive), Birch (alive), Dragonfly (Alive), Spider (alive)

Backstory:

Kit: Born in Buttercup hill, from the chubby escaped Hutch Rabbit Toad, and a sleek wild doe named Glory, he was the biggest of 5 others. He was born during a large storm, and didn't necessarily like the fact that there was lightning involved, so throughout the night, the small kit cried, in the small burrow in the Mothers/Fathers den. The storm was harsh that night, and his crying hadn't seemed to stop anytime soon. Having grown up happy, along his brothers and sisters, as well as whole safe warren, with many guardians the kit had no worry in the world. Playing, and messing around with his siblings, and other kits as much as he could, while learning basic self defense from his Father, as the kit had thought he had no need to fight another rabbit. His siblings hadn't thought the same, and instead began to learn how to fight. Even if his Father was a hutch rabbit, it seems his mother had taught the buck well, after she helped the buck escape. When the others were with Toad, Igneous spent time with the mothers of the warren. Learning to dig, and how to take care of the youngest of rabbits, and his siblings. Teaching him a few techniques of digging, as she watched him slowly develop a bit of muscle, but like Father like son, the buck had grown more chubby. Especially with all the plentiful Flay they had around the warren, it wasn't hard. Especially with the lack of exercise, and training he did, compared to his siblings. Only doing his best to keep them, and other kits safe, and letting them test their strength on him from time to time, as well as being a well opponent of defense.

Muddypaw: During his muddypaw years, were the years were his mother and father taught them how to swim. His siblings were less excited, though Igneous was more than excited. Though, what he didn't expect was to be thrown into the river, and expected to relax and swim. Of course, his father was there just in case they drifted off. Catching them, and keeping them in groups, there father pushed them a bit, though mostly made sure they were okay. Compared to there mother, at least he was less harsh. After a few weeks, they had gotten the hand of it. Best swimmers in almost the whole warren, and usually trying to go to the river everyday. Though, when there training for battle began, Igneous had explained to his parents that he didn't wanna fight. He wasn't physically made for that. His father was more accepting of his choices, but his mother turned her back on him. Disappointed, before she had began to shun him, she had called him a disgrace, and disowned him. Feeling heartbroken, the buck stayed as far away from his mother as possible, as to not bother her any longer. Staying with his siblings instead, as he tried to protect them, and take care of them, during there training. Though, his siblings began to get annoyed, and soon, they pushed him away, as he began to become a distraction. Shunned by everyone but his father. He decided to retreat to the Father and Mothers den. A place where other kits would enjoy his company, and he could take care of them.

While in the warren, the buck began to play with the kits. Making up stories for the kits, and letting them 'battle' him, as he would play along. Gentle and kind to all the ones he met, no matter how rebellious they were. Getting along with them just fine, as he taught them a few of the defensive moves from time to time whenever he saw them. Usually going to the Mother and Fathers den to distract the kits, while there parents had gotten rest or attended regular duties they had to do. He talked to one of the Mothers in the den, named Ladybug. A nice old doe, who helped him through taking care of the kits while the parents rested, or were away. Ladybug had seen how gentle and caring he was towards the kits. Taking them out on adventures, and making sure they were safe as well, caught her interest. The doe knew she was getting old, and she knew she was gonna meet the black rabbit somewhere soon. She needed a replacement. Someone as Kind and Patient as herself. Igneous seemed like a perfect match, they even got along well. One day, when following him out to go eat some Flay, while the kits were with there parents, she had hesitated with the offer. She didn't want him to say no, but what if he said yes? Nonsense. She had finally asked him, and when he paused, she awaited the rejection. Head held high, as she closed her eyes. But it never came, only a hug. The buck accepted, and soon, began to learn all the old rabbit knew. There was so much more information then Igneous had thought there would be. It fascinated him, at how much information there was. So he trained hard, and trained well. The doe a little rusty on fighting and defending herself, taught him a few moves of her own. Ensuring the buck would know how to at least defend, to protect the kits, and others if need be.

Adulthood: Igneous had finally achieved what he was trained to do, and soon he had begun helping take care of any kits that were found, as he had still not yet had his own. Helping Ladybug most of the time, as the old doe began to grow weaker by the days now. It saddened the buck to know she was going to die sometimes soon. She was practically his mother, a teacher, and a friend. When the time had finally come, he had just returned with some Daffodils for the doe. She had always complained to him how plain her den was, so he had come to make the place a bit brighter. But, the doe was already on her last breath. The kits she was caring for outside, and playing carelessly, he stayed with his friend, and shared a few last words with her, and a good laugh. Soon enough, she was gone. The Black Rabbit of Inle having taken his friend, as he said his Farewell words. A few tears rolling down her chubby cheeks, before he sucked it up, and went to go take care of the growing kits she had. Igneous knew the doe wouldn't want him mourning over her for days. He needed to move on, just like life did. So he did, and he hoped he would make her proud, as he helped raise the kits she had. Smiling, as they grew up to be great diggers, or Owsla members. Showing them off to most of his friends, and making sure they all did okay on a weekly basis.

Roleplay Example: The buck dropped the Daffodils onto the dirt floor, as he hopped over to his friend. Ladybugs breathing heavy, though calm. Eyes closed, as she lied down on her side. She hadn't noticed the buck until Igneous had gently nudged her with his nose. Making her eyelids reveal her pupils, the doe let out a soft, fond smile. Reaching a heavy paw up, to gently place it on the grey buck's cheek, as she hummed. "Ladybug i-is there anything I can d-"

"Shh...Quiet. Igneous, don't worry about me. I'll be fine. You worry about those kits, and make sure they end up right. Not like those wicked bogweeds, that kill for fun. Make sure they are proud, and passionate warriors, or diggers, or maybe even mothers or Fathers. Make sure they know how to care for others, and watch out for each other." the doe said softly, the buck was about to reply, but was cut off. "I want you to stay strong, even if it isn't physically. I want you to stay you, and take care of those kits as best you can. Sure, it might not be fighting, but take them out to swim, if you can. Build a small hole near the outside of the warren, and wait for the rains to come, so you can have it filled with water. Teach them how to swim then, without the dangers. Teach them all you know, and maybe when they have other mentors, they can add that to there training." She gave a small cough, and Igneous tensed. Though, there were no tears...yet. "Promise me, Igneous" she waited, and the doe couldn't refuse his friends wishes.

"Of course I promise Ladybug. I'll promise to make sure they are the best rabbits they can be. I'll be patient and kind, and I'll love them like they're my own" he replied, gently. Ladybug smiled, and nodded, as she closed her eyes again. "I remember the first time you saw a kit. My newborns...when you got to hold the smallest of the batch, you were so freaked out. You thought you would crush it, or drop it. But...You were so gentle...." she chucked, as she remembered the worried, and surprised expression. A hint of fear, when he imagined all the ceanarios in his head. But, he didn't even hurt the small kit. He held it like any mother or father would. Chuckling, Igneous nodded. "Yeah, and then I wouldn't let him go, because of how adorable he was" he added, as they both shared a small laugh. The laughter soon died out, as he saw ladybug shakily get up, and embrace him. Surprised sure, but that didn't mean the buck didn't hug back right away. He held the doe tight, as he realized this would be the last conversation they ever had. Once letting go, and lying back down, Ladybug gave one last smile. "I'll see you later, Igneous" she didn't like goodbye's, and neither did Igneous. "I'll make sure to remember the Daffodils, next time we meet again" chuckling, the old rabbit closed her eyes, and sighed contently. Now limp, and peaceful, Igneous waited a moment, before padding over, and touching his nose to her forehead, he sighed.

"My heart has joined the thousand, for my friend stopped running today."

Pulling away, he wiped the tears quickly, and shook his head. A smile reappearing on his muzzle, as he went to go take care of the kits, he practically called family.
