Fandom involvement
Atalon's first furry appearance was in 1999. Atalon enjoys furry conventions and is the organizer of H-Con, a convention that first took place in October 2006, and which is held in autumn each year. He is also the organizer of the AYCE furry meet up in Karlsruhe, Germany, which is held every two months.

Fursona
At first, Atalon decided upon a kangaroo for his character, but later decided that the deer species better fit his attitudes.

Fursuiting
Since 2000, Atalon has run a mascot making business, Maskottchen Germany, where he produces professional costumes for sports clubs, companies, and movies. He has a large number of mascot costumes for rent, and sometimes does performances in the suits. In his spare time, he takes commissions to build fursuits.
