## **Members**

* Chico Barrett
* Coraline Barrett
* Arlie Barrett
* Gene Barrett

## **General Information**

* Race: Rabbit-folk, Desert Cottontail
* Height and Weight: Generally between 3-4 feet tall and 30-50 lbs. but can get as tall as 5 feet tall and the most gluttonous up to 200 lbs.
* Example Clothing Worn: Humble farmer attire for most, while some wear rugged western clothes like cowboys/cowgirls.
* Voice: Various Southern dialects.
* Mannerisms: Southern hospitality when formal, crude when informal. Brutally honest and up front about their feelings. Generally good natured, but follow their heart and can be convinced by those they trust to do crazy stuff. Hold grudges, but can be convinced to change their mind with genuine effort.
* Pop-Culture Influences: Cletus Spuckler's Family (Simpsons), Plankton's Extended Family (SpongeBob)
* Religion: Mąʼii, Local Harvest Deity
* Social Class: Working Class
* Occupation: Farmer
* Combat Class: Crop Ninja
* Attacks and Abilities: Generally crop-based weapons and techniques. Can range from ninja-like to old western-like, though it's usually hidden in plain sight. Every member's main ability is "Wandering Strawman," which they use as a sort of calling card to leave as a warning message to trespassers. Some have the power to call upon the aid of Mąʼii to summon or transform into a coyote, not unlike a Druid. The following are examples of techniques used by Chico and Coraline:
	+ Wandering Strawman: Substitution and short-range teleportation magic. Leaves behind straw sacks and scarecrows depicting the caster.
	+ Throwing Carrot: Basic throwing attack. Looks like an ordinary carrot, but is sharp like a blade.
	+ Potato Mine: Mid-level ranged attack. Portrayed as having been placed in a target's possession when no one was watching (Barrett Clan Secret), and is detonated using a remote device. Has a chance to be a dud.
	+ Pumpkin Bomb: High-level attack. Has the damage capacity of a fireball. Armed and thrown like a fused bomb. Deals fire damage and smells really good after detonating.
	+ Creeping Vines: Disruptive and debilitating vines that are conjured up. Used to trip, grapple, or otherwise incapacitate targets. Coraline's favorite use of this is to conjure up a vine lasso to wrangle cattle, bad guys, and Chico.
	+ Strawberry Revolver: A firearm that uses strawberries instead of bullets, but just as deadly.
	+ Bananarang: Mid-level throwing weapon that can be used to attack multiple targets or the same target twice. Returns after being thrown, though it gets too soft after a while.
	+ Melon Launcher: High-level attack. The caster conjures up a launching apparatus then chucks a watermelon within range. The damage is on par with a fireball.

## **History**

* Origin: The Barrett Clan was born from a rabbit-folk couple that settled into Bramblebrook to begin their family. However, the property was plagued with drought, and they could barely manage to raise crops for themselves, much less their proposed family. The local trickster diety Mąʼii attempted to play a trick on them during their misfortune, however she was outplayed by their tenacity and kindness. As a show of gratitude, Mąʼii showered the loving couple with blessed rains that would persist for generations to come.
* Traditions: The Barrett Clan is a Neutral-Good society that looks after one another and the communities around them. However, their village appears empty, filled with rabbit scarecrows, statuettes, and coyotes patrolling the fields. They only seem to appear in Bramblebrook to sell produce, but they're very active on the farm when no one's looking. They hold church services in observance of their harvest deity Mąʼii, teach their young how to farm, and train young adults secret ninja techniques passed down through generations. When they become 20 years old, they're arranged to marry a relative within the Clan, take on a farming job, and raise a family on the farm. Members retire near the end of their lives to live out a quiet, peaceful retirement on the farm.
* Current Events: The tradition of marrying within the Clan was the result of a faux pas by a church reverend and his sister, which led to the teachings of "keeping the blessed blood pure" by marrying as close to direct relatives as possible. Although marrying a cousin wasn't considered a sin before, it's now considered virtuous. Members brought up in this new generation, such as Chico, reject this teaching and flee the Clan to avoid an incestuous relationship. Fleeing the Clan results in exile, except for special circumstances, so members are unwilling to leave due to psychological manipulation.

## List of Adventures

* Hare Raising Wedding: the Barrett Clan ended its long history of isolationism and cousin marriages after Chico Barrett persuaded them
* Code Purple: the goddess Ma'ii's statue is at the base of the ravine at one part of the Emou River. Being nice to Ma'ii or rubbing your blood on the statue will get it to become an illusion so you can pass. Otherwise you'd have to climb over or something.
* Harvest Hijinks: one of the many annual Harvest Festivals for the goddess Ma'ii. Cole Bromley, an outsider rabbitfolk, met the extended family and everyone likes him and likes that he's marrying Coraline Barrett.
* The Fire Inside: The goddess Ma'ii wished them well as they went on their journey to save all water and life on the planet Drawes.
