Binky crept down the dark theater steps as quietly as he could. To either side, the most dignified of his compatriots were seated. There eyes were locked forward, their ears erect and dignified, and their numerous medals gleamed under the light of the in-progress briefing. Binky tried to spot an open seat, but there seemed to be none. So, with only a whisper of his officer jacket, he sat his haunches down on the steep stairs and looked up to the circular projection.

... the best, the boldest, the bounciest that Her Majesty's Royal Hare Forces have ever seen. Many of you have served in the war upon the snakes that threatened our very civilization. Those snakes are now cowering in their holes. Others have traveled to other worlds as dignitaries, explorers, and -when warranted- conquerors. The many realities still quake from your passage.

Now comes your greatest mission. An off-world expedition that can only be trusted to the best of the best. Your destination is a world of varied life, much of it hostile. It is a world of magic. A world where our greatest technological advancements are rendered inoperative. You will need to rely on your cunning, your strength, and the love of your queen. When you persevere -and you will- our people will spread culture and sophistication to the beautiful, verdant clearings...

... of Althanas.
It is decreed by Her Majesty, may she live eternal forthwit!

Every hare in attendance thundered to their feet and applauded jubilantly to their future victory. All except Binky.
"My queen, help me," he whistled in terror, "I'm going back. I'm going sodding back to Althanas."

Binky Wetburrow
~coming Spring 2014 to a thread near you~
Name: Binky Wetburrow
Age: 15 (equivalent to human's mid-twenties)
Race: Leporidae
Eye Color: brown
Fur Color: golden brown
Height: 6'
Ear Length: 1'
Weight: 290lbs
Occupation: technology specialist in Her Majesty's Royal Hare Forces
Personality: Binky is not your typical hare. He is not quick to a fight. He has sired no children, let alone the normal dozens. Yet, his skill and quick wit have pushed him up the ranks. Some whisper that an earlier trauma drives him, an incident that took place on Althanas. Teleportation, wolves, and naked human women were supposedly involved. Binky never speaks of it, but one need only say a single word to steal away his quiet confidence. Gisela.
Racial Traits:
Lifespan – A typical hare lifespan is 40-50 years.
Offence – Hares have short claws (though many file them) and can kick a man hard enough to send him sprawling.
Mobility – A hare can jump one and a half meters straight up and can keep pace with any standard breed of horse. Reaching top speed takes some time, though.
Durability – Their fur provides little more protection than human skin would.
Endurance – Due to their high metabolism, an untrained hare will tire twice as quickly as a human. Extreme exertion, such as a lengthy run, will require a big meal beforehand.
Immunity (or lack thereof) – Hares are highly susceptible to poisons. They will feel the effects twice as strongly as a human, but will burn through the poison twice as quickly.
Hearing – Hares have far better hearing than a human. They can hear a pin drop in the next room or a horse rising over the next hill.
Sight – They have excellent range of vision, but difficulty focusing on distant objects.
Smell – A hare can detect delicious greenery (or other things) from dozens of meters away. They are poor trackers, though.
Equipment:
Cinderite Swiftwillow – A bladed rapier that appears to be made of gold. It has the strength of iron.
Hare Forces Crossbow – A crossbow that a human would have difficulty balancing, never mind drawing.
Cinderite Bolts (x10) – Large golden bolts the strength of iron. With a hare crossbow, they can penetrate iron plate from four meters away.
Eye of the Owl – A monocle that is comprised of multiple lenses. It can be adjusted to provide 3x magnification.
Skills:
Hare Crossbow Specialty – Binky is an expert user of the crossbow. He can, with concentration, hit a house cat from 7 meters. His accuracy drops swiftly beyond that. He can also easily ride out the crossbow's recoil.
Swiftwillow Swordsmanship – He knows the basics of defending and countering, but would be easily outmatched by an adept swordsman.
Trained Endurance – As is normal in the Hare Forces, he has built up his endurance to the point that he only tires slightly faster than an average human.
