Fandom Fruits Basket OPEN

[KiKi Kitsune]

We all know the Sohma family. Cursed with the 12 (and cat) Chinese zodiac.

I’m not too fond of using canon characters, so I’ll be creating other families with similar curses (instead of the zodiac they’ll be based on genus or biome, etc). But they would have the same or similar conditions for activating the curse.

Before I go and put a lot of effort into this – since I would flesh this out properly – I want to see who would be interested in a fruits basket RP.

If enough people show interest, I’ll properly put everything up and tag those who have commented.

  ALDIS​
  

  Fenrir​

  Wolf​

  The Fenrir wolf is the son of Loki and brother to Hel, and the Midgard serpent. The Gods feared his strength and bound him with the leash "Gleipnir" to a chain called Gelgja. When Fenrir tried to bite at the Gods in retaliation, they stuck a sword in his mouth. He waits until Ragnarok where he will kill Odin.
  

  

  Eikthyrnir​

  Deer​

  Eikthyrnir is a deer that stands on the roof of Valhalla. It eats from the leaves of the great oak tree Lærad. From the horns drips water, which is were all the rivers in the world come from.
  

  

  Gullinbursti​

  Boar​

  Gullinbursti is a golden boar made by the two dwarves Brokk and Eitri. Gullinbursti is made from pigskin and thousands of pieces of gold wire. Gullinbursti was given to the God Freyr, the boar is faster than any other horse over water and through air. Gullinbursti has golden rays that shine like the Sun and made plants grow everywhere.
  

  

  Huginn and Munin​

  Twin Crows​

  The two ravens that fly over the world, Midgard. The two ravens fly out over all the world every morning and returns every evening. When they return, the Ravens whisper all that they have seen and heard to Odin.
  

  

  Ratatosk​

  Squirrel​

  Ratatosk is the squirrel that spends a lot of time each day, running up and down the tree Yggdrasil. Ratatosk does whatever he can, to keep the hatred between the eagle and Nidhug alive. Ratatosk loves to gossip which is the reason why the eagle and the serpent remained constant foes.
  

  

  Sleipnir​

  Horse​

  Sleipnir is a gray eight-legged horse. It is the symbol of the wind and can just as easily gallop through the air as on land. The horse has the marks of hell written upon it. Sleipnir was later on given to the God Odin as a gift from Loki himself.

  DOUKAS​
  

  Cerberus​

  Dog​

  Cerberus is said to be fierce enough that the gods fear it. Cerberus is flesh-eating, but he serves as a watchdog in the land of the already dead. What distinguishes Cerberus from ordinary dogs is that it had three heads.
  

  

  Minataur​

  Bull​

  The minotaur was half man and half bull. Unlike the centaur, his bull half is usually shown as his head. His mother was the human Queen of Crete, Pasiphae. His father was a bull Pasiphae fell in love with. The minotaur ate young Athenian men and women.
  

  

  Chimaera​

  Lion, Goat, Snake​

  The Chimera was a fearsome, fire-breathing monster with a lion's head, a goat's body, and a dragon's tail. She terrorized the people of Lycia until their king, Iobates, asked the hero Bellerophon to slay her.
  

  

  Harpy​

  Small Bird​

  The Harpies had the form of a bird with a human female face; often agents of punishment they abducted people and tortured them on their way to Hades’ domain, employed by the God as instruments for the punishment of the guilty. They stole food from their victims and would carry evildoers to Erinnyes of the Furies
  

  

  Griffin​

  Lion, Eagle​

  Griffins had the body, tail, and back legs of a lion; the head and wings of an eagle; and sometimes an eagle's talons as its front feet. Because the lion was traditionally considered the king of the beasts and the eagle the king of birds by the Middle Ages the griffin was thought to be an especially powerful and majestic creature.

  TAHAN​
  

  Anubis​

  Jakal​

  Anubis was represented as a jackal-headed entity associated with the rites of embalming the deceased and the related afterlife. And like many contemporary Egyptian gods, Anubis did have other aspects, but his core attributes were seemingly always related to the matters of death.
  

  

  Amun-Ra​

  Falcon​

  Amun was the divine entity who represented the air and the sun. Sometimes portrayed as the king of gods. Ra, on the other hand, was considered as one of the powerful ancient Egyptian gods who was associated with the Pharoah. Over time, the thriving Amun cult merged the two entities Amun and Ra into a composite god known as Amun-Ra, who was hailed as the “Lord of truth, father of the gods, maker of men, creator of all animals, Lord of things that are, creator of the staff of life.”
  

  

  Hathor​

  Cow​

  The ancient Egyptian goddess of joy, feminine love, and motherhood; Hathor was closely associated to Mehet-Weret, the primeval divine cow entity/goddess who was perceived as being responsible for bringing the floods to the Nile, thus in the process fertilizing the land.
  

  

  Sekhmet​

  Large Feline​

  A goddess of the home, love, fertility, joy, dance, women and secrets, Bastet with her cat-like head and woman’s body was considered as a benevolent deity. Egyptians regarded Bastet in the form of her ‘alter-ego’ Sekhmet – the warrior lioness. She was often given the epithet of ‘Sekhmet the Powerful’ and represented as the fiercest hunter in all of Egypt whose very breath formed the desert.
  

  

  Thoth​

  Ibis​

  Thoth was an important deity of writing, magic, wisdom, and the moon. He was also closely associated with the principles of balance and equilibrium, which was often symbolized by his title "Lord of Ma’at".
  

  

  Set​

  Aardvark, Donkey, Fennec Fox​

  Set was originally regarded as a more-or-less benevolent and esteemed entity who sometimes served as an ally of Ra, and was tasked with the protection of oases in the deserts. But over time, he was also associated with peculiar and frightening phenomena like eclipses, storms, and thunders – thus suggesting a dark side to his personification. The strange’nature of Set as one of the dualistic ancient Egyptian gods is also manifested by his depictions. They often showcase a creature which is simply known as the Set animal, which could be a composite of an aardvark, a donkey, and a jackal (or a fennec fox)

  BALIAN​
  

  Aralez​

  Dog​

  The oldest gods in the Armenian pantheon, Aralez were invisible, dog-like creatures with powers to resuscitate fallen warriors and resurrect the dead by licking wounds clean.
  

  

  Devs​

  Snowy Owls​

  The Dev are air-composed spirit creatures originating from Zoroastrian mythology (the Daevas), and share many similarities to angels. They reside in stony places and ruins, and usually kept to themselves.
  

  

  Shahapet​

  Snake​

  The Shahapet were usually friendly guardian spirits who typically appeared in the form of serpents. They inhabited houses, orchards, fields, forests and graveyards, among other places. The Shvaz type was more agriculturally oriented, while the Shvod was a guardian of the home. A Shvod who is well-treated may reward the home's inhabitants with gold, but if mistreated might cause strife and leave.
  

  

  Nhang​

  Seal​

  The Nhang was a river-dwelling serpent-monster with shape shifting powers, often connected to the more conventional Armenian dragons. The creature could change into a seal or lure a man by transforming into a woman, then drag in and drown the victim to drink its blood.
  

  

  
  
• 
  
  HAYASHI​
  

  Raijū​

  Wolf​

  Its body is composed of lightning and may be in the shape of a wolf. It may also fly about as a ball of lightning and its cry sounds like thunder. Raiju is the companion of the Raijin, the of lightning. While the beast is generally calm and harmless, during thunderstorms it becomes agitated, and leaps about in trees, fields, and buildings
  

  

  Kamaitachi​

  Weasel​

  A a beast with fur like that of a hedgehog and a cry like that of a dog, and one that flies through the air with wings, they are said to attack people with limbs like that of a sickle or razor. The Kamaitachi are depicted as weasel yokai.
  

  

  Kitsune​

  Fox​

  Stories depict them as intelligent beings and as possessing paranormal abilities that increase with their age and wisdom. According to Yōkai folklore, all foxes have the ability to shapeshift into human form. While some folktales speak of kitsune employing this ability to trick others—as foxes in folklore often do—other stories portray them as faithful guardians, friends, lovers, and wives.
  

  

  Komainu​

  Lion Dogs​

  Komainu, often called lion-dogs in English, are statue pairs of lion-like creatures either guarding the entrance or the inner shrine of many Japanese Shinto shrines or kept inside the inner shrine itself, where they are not visible to the public. The first type, born during the Edo period, is called sandō komainu, the second and much older type jinnai komainu . They can sometimes be found also at Buddhist temples, nobility residences or even private homes.
  

  

  Mujina​

  Badger​

  In Japanese folklore, like the fox and the raccoon dog, badgers are frequently depicted as yōkai that shapeshift and deceive humans. These badger demons (mujina) often take the form of an attractive woman with a promiscuous nature, usually causing mischief in their partners lives.
  

  

  Wani​

  Crocodile, Shark​

  Wani (鰐) was a dragon or sea monster in Japanese mythology. Since it is written using the kanji 鰐 (from Chinese e 鰐 or 鱷 "crocodile; alligator") wani is translated as "crocodile", or sometimes "shark"
