Kiba and his wolf pack

Fursona[edit]

Alphawolf Kiba's fursona is an arctic wolf with white fur and yellow eyes, who was a lone wolf searching for a paradise. At Wolves' Paradise he became the leader of his own wolf pack.

He shares plenty of personalities with another Kiba in an anime named Wolf's Rain; they both put their whole heart on searching the "Paradise", both rely on their own strength, both unwilling to give up their aims, lonely and tirelessly. But his fursona has the longer, thicker fur around the neck, the chest, and muscular.[2]

Belief[edit]

Alphawolf Kiba is a therian who believes that there's a wolf spirit within, despite having a human shell. He somewhat accepts the concept of reincarnation. He believes that there must be a reason for being born with a human form, such as taking actions which save his compatriot animals. He has not changed his beliefs since he became a furry around 1989.

Website spiritual features[edit]

Since late 2008, webmaster Alphawolf Kiba was unable to participate in web operation as frequent as he used to be due to a change of actual working conditions; such a change really impacts his time and efforts on web management. In mid 2010, webmaster Kiba has been staring to hand over and pass on his work as it was difficult for him to keep a balance between real life and cyber life due to the reality.

Among those logos submitted from artists directly or commissioned by webmaster himself, the majority are those with obvious features related to the role of webmaster. Even if webmaster Alphawolf Kiba has been getting less involved, it’s his contributions in particular made during the pioneer phase that make him still to be the spiritual web leader. Alphawolf Kiba therefore nicknames himself as the “mascot” of the community.
