Spring is in full swing! In today's update, you'll get a look at the new Cinnabunny reference guide, as well as other fun assets for the group. Additionally, our dear redcrowz has more qualtiy of life updates for us here on Lorekeeper! Finally, it's time for our annual Cinnabunnalia gacha, as well as GA + PGA term change-overs.

Let's dive in!

April Prompts

Prompts have been updated for this month! Have some springtime fun with your Cinnas and earn rewards.

GA + PGA updates

The new set of Guest Artists and Pound Guest Artists has been selected!
Welcome to the GA team Xenoblade , cinnapvppy , and Rocandrol !
And welcome to the PGA team steakseed , @crowbar , and @mossydeer !

With the new term of Pound Guest Artists, we also have an update regarding the Pound itself: there's been a changing of the guard! 🫡

As you may know, Hal has been stepping in to help with the Pound for quite a while. We're happy to report that Poe is back in action and will resume work with the PGAs! Buck will also be taking on the Pound, as was initially intended with his re-hiring. Please direct any and all Pound questions to Poe and Buck moving forward!

But that's not all! Applications for PGA are OPEN, and there's a brand new Google form for you to fill out!

To ease our transition, the previous PGA sign-up list is being wiped / retired. We have found that quite a few users who've applied are no longer active in the community, and as such choosing PGAs lately has been difficult. Additionally, we are dropping the number of PGAs from 4 per term to 3, so that it matches the GA term number.

If you have been waiting for your chance to be a PGA, and you applied with the previous form, do not worry. One of the questions on the new form allows you to let us know that you have applied for PGA before. Poe and Buck will use their discretion to make sure everyone who is interested gets their turn to be a PGA. We still have redesigns to do from 2022, so there are plenty of Cinnas up for redesigns! Fill out the form above, even if you've applied in the past, and secure yourself a spot to be a Cinnapound Guest Artist!

🐰 Cinnabunny Reference sheet 🐰

Take a look at the first ever official reference sheet for Cinnabunnies, the elusive sub-species that only appears during the spring!

If you didn't already know, there is an age-old question here in the Cinnaverse: what really IS a Cinnabunny?  This question kept coming up over the years, due in part to the fact that we as a community tend to refer to any Cinna with the Bunny Ears trait as a "bunny". We're here to clarify that today! 🥕

As you can see in the above guide, the Cinnabunny is its own subspecies. Where previously Cinnabunnies were thought to be exclusively quadrupedal, it seems they too have learned to walk on two legs like their Teacup and Munchkin counterparts. Visually distinct due to their short arms and big rabbit feet, Cinnabunnies very commonly have other Cinna forms which also sport their Legendary Bunny Ears.

On the other hand, the Bunny Ears trait itself may be used on any  Cinna species, and will not inherently make that Cinna a Cinnabunny. This is most evident here on the Lorekeeper, where your Cinna's Transformation Tabs will show which base species your Cinna is. If you have any questions regarding the labelling of Cinnabunnies vs. Cinnas w/ Bunny Ears here on the masterlist, let us know in #ask-the-staff.

height guide update

Some of you may remember an old sketchy height chart Kenna started a few years ago... well it's back! Still a WIP, but Kenna would like to share this "alpha version" of the height chart with you all. You'll see every subspecies of Cinna here, as well as every pet! (For now that is... wink.) These sizes are approximate for now, and of course you may use your own discretion for personal lore and whatnot. Expect an update to this reference within the month!

Trait update: 🌟conjoined

After admin discussion, we have decided to add a new Legendary trait: 🌟Conjoined.

Conjoined includes the use of extra torsos, heads, tails, arms, and legs, without the need for extra anatomical traits. (For example, rather than needing 4 rarity runes for UB: Caterpillar, UB: Double Head, UB: skyscraper, and Double Tail, you could simply use Conjoined.) This is a very powerful trait! Please utilize spoilers and site warnings where necessary.

For clarification, Double Head, the step down from 🌟Cerberus, is still a Rare trait. Double Head simply allows either two fully functioning heads or two conjoined heads. (The world is your oyster, horror fans.)

Site Updates

Hal is back at it again with some quality-of-life website updates for you all!

AWARD CASE
If your Cinna has any awards, i.e. they were part of a specific adopt event or they are IP inspired, the badge will now appear below their main ML image. 

ACCOUNT-BOUNDING
If you for whatever reason want to trade-lock your Cinnas, meaning they cannot change hands for any reason until they are unbound, you now have the option to do so. Read Hal's notes about it by visiting the prompt here.
NOTE: Account binding will NEVER be implemented by the admin team without your explicit permission.

Cinnabunnalia

The wait is almost over! The Cinnabunnalia gacha, which includes adopts from all of our OAs and GAs, will be held April 20th, 2024. 

These designs will be small in size (chibi/nugget), all flavors, and all species. To keep things fresh, we are not exclusively selling seasonal/Easter themed Cinnas, so keep that in mind when buying a slot! Like the last gacha, rolls will be $55 a piece. Details on time of day, how to claim, etc. will come soon!

TEASER: SUMMER OF TAILS EVENT

As we look forward into the future of Cinnas, get excited for a summer contest! Kenna wants more tails, and what he wants, he gets. 😎 Details coming later!

And that's all for today! Thank you all so much as always for participating in our awesome community! Hope you have a great day and a lovely April!
