Yo! So Poppy recently rewrote the entire backstory for the Unique Flock, and whether its going to replace the original canon I did or not is up to me. But, I can't really decide... why are your thoughts? I've provided what she wrote down below.



Reece ( Middle Bird ):

~ The Past is the Past, what you can only do is fight for the future ~

What happened before Reece formed the Flock remain behind closed doors to those he knows, this is due to Reece's protective nature as his past may lead to his distrust between members, Tidbits from his rival Riba though reveal what could have happened to him.

''Reece was taken in by pigs as an egg, who raised him along with their own piglet Riba, both Riba and Reece stuck close together during their childhood days. One of their favorite games was swordplay with sticks. Their skills in sword fighting caught the interest of the king, so Riba was called forward to join the guard, but due to the rising war between Pigs and Birds, Reece was forced to hide away with his guardians to protect him from the rising security.''

''It didn't take long though and Reece was kidnapped and locked away in the dungeons for living as a bird in the kingdom, interrogated and sometimes punished if he didn't give the answers they wanted, but due to his lack of understanding of what the birds are like, he got more of the latter. But after living on the stone floor for days, a pig came to burst the locks and set him free, giving him his own lightsaber and fighting through, he was only able to see his face for a while, but he saw that it was his stepbrother Riba that helped him.''

He was able to come out barely alive, but Riba was left inside to stop the security from catching him, and he never saw him again after passing out in the forest nearby.

''He was found by a bird named Rainbow, which he was defensive against at first, but reassured by her words and more caring tone, he grew closer to this bird and afterwards, they came close friends. He gathered more birds to join his flock as time flew by, Cloudifer, Bounci, and Piggy brought in their own special abilities and named the new flock, the Unique Flock.''

''A year later after his departure from the kingdom of pigs, the flock went down to find an artifact deep in a volcano, but the victory of the discovery was short lived as a pig was there as well, Reece stayed behind to fight this pig while the rest of the flock took the artifact and fled. ''

''He got closer to the pig and he was surprised to see a familiar face, Riba! only, his eyes looked less familiar. Instead of the green he saw when they were young, they were gold, and his aura was more, darker. He fought the pig enough to distract him and fled, he wonders to this day as to why he acted so sinister compared to before.''

Reece is the most collected and calm of the group, as the leader, he makes all the decisions the flock goes through, he is also cunning and witty, using deception to get past enemies with ease while making snarky remarks. This snarky personality can rub off to his friends as well, but its not as excessive and rude as to his enemies. Mentioning Riba to him though puts him in a bad mood, he brings up a different topic entirely with a grain of salt, so Riba as a topic is almost never brought up with how he relates to him. He is well rounded in the art of sword fighting, using the lightsaber he was given when he last saw Riba as a friend, his main form of attack would be close sword combat. He also owns a wand, which he uses for levitation spells to lift and hurl objects.

Rainbow ( Bottom Right Bird ):

~ Where the darkness looms greater than before, the light will only shine brighter! ~

''She's a traveling artist bird who likes to see new sights, she placed her next vacation on Piggy Island and set herself a treehouse near the ocean to be a hub for her discoveries and inspirations to be kept. She originated from a bigger town abroad which was more advanced than Piggy Island, but due to the hidden legends from books and tabloids, she set her eyes on this place next.''

''She was looking for something to picture when she was shocked to see a warm body of a barely living bird lying in the forest, she quickly brought the bird to her treehouse to rehabilitate him. When he woke up he was shocked and jolted out in pain, But Rainbow quickly settled him down, It took some time to gain his trust, but she was able to calm to at least comfortable levels.''

''For the next couple of days, she worked to get his health in full, it was a real test for her ability to gain trust as he was still closed off from him. But overtime, he opened up to some of the details of his past, he refused to mention through his reason as to why he stayed in the kingdom of pigs.''

Since then, her stay in Piggy Island was extended, she stayed to help Reece with trust and improve in his skills, she met as well the other members of the flock as they were introduced.

Rainbow Flurry, or as her pen/nickname, Rainy, is a big bursting ball of enthusiasm, able to see things in a brighter light better than the rest of the flock if something good happens, odds are she is the first to celebrate. This enthusiasm leaks into her hobby as well, she loves capturing the moment and carries around sometimes sketchbooks and a camera to capture anything that catches her eyes, so oftentimes, her inventory would be filled with snapshots and sketches of an area.

She also holds the closest bond with Reece as she helped him on his deathbed and spent the most time with him, so she knows the most about him, but even so, she doesn’t know some things about him due to his reluctance. Such as his connection with Riba and his relation to the Kingdom of Pigs. She also holds a small crush to Piggy, but this doesn’t grace her mind often unless the two are together alone, and she often teased for it.

Cloudifer ( Top Right Bird ):

~ I may not know much, but I can still learn how to understand ~

''Cloudifer lacks her memories of what she is or where she came from, she was found by Rainbow and Reece one day on a stormy night on a mountain. She was unconscious and sick with a fever and so was brought in for rehabilitation. When questioned about what happened to her, she could only recall being bashed on the head and blacked out, the recollection was followed with a shock of pain on her forehead. It was revealed to be that crystals on her head were cracked slightly, so healing was most focused on that area.''

After healing, she was able to walk around and speak more fluently, but although her head crystals were healed, her memories didn’t come back.

Cloudifer is shyer than the others in the flock and is bashful when she needs to be involved, unknown of what her past is like, she prefers to figure out the holes herself. She does care when her flockmates are put in harm's way and is willing to get hurt. She tends to sing when alone, this was broken a bit thanks to Rainbow snooping around, but she slowly grew more trusting towards her and sings to her when she can. She also has a crush of Reece but is too embarrassed and bashful to admit it, it can be obvious though and is often teased for it, this only leads her to hide her feelings for him even more.

Bounci ( Bottom Left Bird ):

~ What happens in my life doesn’t concern you, what matters is yours ~

''Bounci’s introduction to the flock was rather abrupt and unexpected, he came into the treehouse all clothed up and a suitcase, when asked as to why he came in, all he responded was “rehabilitation”. This comment came off as strange as unlike Reece or Cloudifer, he was perfectly healthy, Nevertheless, they welcomed him into the flock albeit a bit reluctantly. ''

''When asked further on where he came from, he mostly kept the details vague. He says that he was told as an order to fix deeds, it was a coincidence that he lived in the same town that Rainbow lives as well, He has done things there that caught the eye from the authorities and there was given these orders to seek “rehabilitation”.''

''It was revealed later on when Rainbow went to take a shower in the falls that Bounci had some signs of mental instability, show with blood dripping down near his cheek made by a small blade he kept in his suitcase, the blood dripped into the water and made a stain on the rock. Rainbow quickly stepped in to stop him from making any more cuts.''

''He explained after the event that this was one of the reasons he was sent to this island, to fix his mind of his depression. Though it didn’t stop him from bringing his own blade to punish himself. Rainbow refuted though these claims and swore to help fix him with his depression, and to get to the bottom of these reasons why he would need to come here.''

Bounci refuses to speak unless it’s necessary, because of this, he remains quiet for most interactions and just listens while everyone else squabbles. The comments he does make on occasion are mostly just negative and pointing out the flaws of what others would do, this makes him hard to work with, but he provides the brains for the flock so it would be hard to let him leave. Overall he hasn’t made great connections with the rest of the flock, the only real connection he made was with Rainy, but that's because of their encounter together, only she knows of his depression as he keeps quiet about it and his cuts were usually hidden underneath his cheek feathers. Asking him about his past does make him say something different, “What happens in my life doesn’t concern you, what matters is yours”, this might be a sign he does have some form of empathy, warning to not concern him, but yourself.

Piggy ( Top Left Pig):

~ How we choose to fight is just as important as what we fight for ~

''Dolor Mibly, was born weaker than other pigs, but he still tried to train to get into the guard. To compensate for being physically weaker, he prioritized being quick and nimble, he became a spy for the king’s army. He gained a bit for his name, now he was getting some praise instead of mockery.''

''One mission messed him up when he messed it up though, he was supposed to watch the cell for a bird captive, but after leaving to watch behind the castle, he lost the bird to a pig of the guard, he tried to stop the bird from fleeing, but failed. ''

''He was called after the event to pay for his mistake, a whip was used to carry out the punishment and was done by the king himself, firm lashes were whipped out, with one hitting his eye and causing major damage to his vision. Due to this scaring moment, he fled from the kingdom to seek refuge.''

''Months passed and he was left to tend to his own wounds, his left eye was left blind with a scar over it, he observed the actions of the birds and pigs, he learned of the caring nature of the birds with their eggs, like with pigs and their offspring, He felt more caring for those who protected their young, and quietly helped with his spy skills. He was founded out though by the king’s guard and was given punishment for betraying the king of his orders and was whipped once again, with another lash landing in his eye. ''

''The punishment was suddenly halted as he was teleported away from the area and into a treehouse, where he found a couple of birds looking over him with distrust and concern. One bird stood out and offered to help him mend his wounds, he was afraid, but in the state, he was in, he had no choice.''

''He talked with some of the birds, under the new alias, Piggy, to cover his name from being known as the “rebel spy”. After recovering, he asked to join the flock, all the birds were reluctant to bring him in, but Reece said otherwise, he felt that this pig was different than the other ones, and lets him in. He has since helped the flock out as a spy against the pigs.''

Piggy takes the job of being a spy seriously, and he wants others as well to their jobs seriously as well, as such, he can come off as bossy and hot-headed when the task is serious, in his free time though he is pretty laid back and outgoing. With his skill as a spy, he had major skills in deception and can pull off some amazing and yet frustrating pranks, sometimes he doesn’t see this fault and can go too far with them. He looks up to Reece a lot as he was the one who saved him from possible death and let him into the flock, he wishes to one day be as strong as him, but with his lack of strength, that’s far from being possible. He also has some feelings for Rainbow due to her bubbliness, but he chooses to hide them as he thinks they are “unnatural”.
