Equivamp is the most-commonly seen username matched with a zebra pegasus avatar as her primary fursona. Born January 26, 1996, other pen-names used by this person include Kila Brija, Kila Onasi, Rodney, Erren Noetis, Equivampthefurry, and Ralf.

Equivamp is known for her fondness of zebras.

Having discovered the furry fandom sometime between late 2008 and early 2009, she quickly became engrossed in the subculture, it being already a habit of hers to produce art and stories featuring anthropomorphic animals, as well as feeling a spiritual connection to animals as a therian.[1][2]

Equivamp identifies with her artwork as a furry artist, but does not refer to the anthropomorphic theme to much of it as "furry",[3] feeling that, while it is an appropriate synonym for anthropomorphic, it is a cultural reference not relevant in many settings.[4]

[edit] Outside the fandom

In real life, Equivamp lives in Chanute, Kansas.[5] Her hobbies include drawing, rock collecting, and tennis.

Aside from furry, Equivamp is most active in the Star Wars fandom, particularly Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.

[edit] Convention attendance

Equivamp made an appearance dressed as a tiger at Summercon 2011, a local video game convention.

[edit] Zebra Pegasus

Equivamp's main fursona, the unguligrade, psi-vampiric winged zebra, has no official name, but varies between Kila Brija, Kila Onasi, and Erren Noetis.[6] Occasionally, it has been itself called Equivamp[7], though according to the player, "Equivamp" is simply an all-encompassing username meant for easy, wide-spread recognition. This officially nameless character's species is jokingly referred to as avis hippotigris, or, literally, "zebra bird", though the actual name would be avis dolichohippus. She commonly wears a light blue T-Shirt paired with black shorts or slacks. This fursona is "a Jedi, and sometimes a pirate. When a Jedi, she wears horseshoes constructed of plasteel, and when a pirate, are an alloyed gold.[8]

Because Equivamp is bigendered, this fursona has an en femme and en homme form.[9]


[edit] Scalesona

Equivamp's scalie fursona, Tana Savo, is a macro dragon-dinosaur hybrid with yellow scales and a white underbelly. This is a sexless character. This character, in role-play, will mock "vore" another player by placing them harmlessly in her mouth.

[edit] Simbid

Equivamp's Deviant Fursona.jpg

Equivamp's feral fursona, Ifny Star is a self-invented creature called a Simbid, and the result of genetic mutation and ultimately transformation. It is around the size of a small pony, and wears a blue, polka-dotted bandana around its neck.[10]

[edit] Pokesona

Equivamp's pokesona is a Smeargle, a dog-like artist Pokemon. The "paint" of her pokesona is a pastel-purple. This character is simply known as "Smeargle".

[edit] Second Life avatar

On Second Life, Equivamp uses a fairly bland unicorn avatar.

[edit] Ponysona

Equivamp is also a pegasister. Her ponysona is a zebra pegasus, fashioned after her main fursona.

[edit] Controversy

[edit] Encyclopædia Dramatica

Equivamp is a frequent editor to the satirical wiki Encyclopædia Dramatica (.se), even gaining some administrative privelages such as rollback. She also became the caretaker for ED's "Furfaggotry Portal", at first sharing it with Kasei Fox, then maintaining it solely for a short time before enlisting a user called Notanalt as a Co-Caretaker.[11]

In addition, an earlier version of her user page stated that she would "help with the furry articles",[12] something she has done, in addition to the start of several new articles.[13]

Equivamp states that Encyclopedia Dramatica is simply for laughs, "or, more precisely, lulz," and does not affect adversely her views on furries, be it personally or as a whole.[citation needed] At any rate, being an EDiot has not stopped other users from writing an article about herself.[14] Members of ED's IRC also wrote an Urban Dictionary definition of her.[15]

[edit] Fur Affinity Suspension

In August 2011, Equivamp was suspended for a week from the furry art site FurAffinity due to comments left on the suicide journal of Gizgiz, that were considered by Fur Affinity staff to be harassment.[16] She, however, maintains that the suspension was unjust for the reasons given.[17]

After being suspended, Equivamp opened up a second account,[18] despite it being against Fur Affinity's TOS to use an alt while suspended. This alt account was subsequently also suspended (this one permanently) when detected by Fur Affinity's administrators.

After her suspension ended, Equivamp returned to FurAffinity and has had no further incidents.
