Last Res0rt

Last Res0rt is a cyberpunk, furry webcomic by Rachel Keslensky, featuring the furry alien violinist Jigsaw Forte who signs up for a deadly reality show before discovering that she's transformed into a rare nonhuman vampire (and now must hide this fact to prevent being hunted down by more than just the other players).

The comic updates weekly on Sundays in full-color, full-page format.

The comic contains many furry characters as various alien species; although several of them appear to be more typical creatures, none of the furry species involved represent actual animals on Earth.

Synopsis
The reality show Last Res0rt has just begun, with a simple premise in mind; Twelve criminals, condemned or otherwise sentenced to life in prison, have offered to play on the show in hopes of earning a pardon at the end of the season.

This, of course, makes the assumption that they will live long enough to collect; all they have to do in order to win is survive the show's several challenges (and presumably avoid taking out each other in the process) until the season finale. So far no indication has been made as to how many can survive, so it's entirely possible (but highly unlikely) for all twelve criminals to be freed if they can work together long enough.

Since the show is being televised across the galaxy at considerable expense, it can be safely assumed that the Vaeo family (the producers of the show) either is already expecting the criminals to turn on each other and denigrate into a kinetic orgy of mayhem, or will simply manipulate the players and the show until it becomes one.

Several volunteer players are also in the mix, designed to help keep the criminals in check as well as offering some to-be-expected drama and fanbase for the show in case none of the criminals manage to win over viewers.

The main plot of Last Res0rt focuses on one of the volunteers, Jigsaw Forte, along with several of the criminal players she crosses paths with (some of whom are more dangerous than others) as they progress through the show's premier season.

There are several subplots, including:
 * An apparent grudge between volunteer Jason Spades and the mad scientist convict Daisy Archanis, although the motive for this has yet to be fully revealed.
 * Cypher Forte's apparent quest to 'rescue' his daughter and prevent her from participating in the show.
 * Jigsaw Forte's troubles as she comes to terms with her status as a vampire.
 * The Celeste stronghold of planet Celigo, which has a controlling interest in the reality show and is keen on using the show to further their own agenda as well as dispose of several troublesome "prisoners".

(Of course, considering who's telling us this, there's no proof that what she's saying is true.)
