Skan Drake

Skan Drake (born December 5) is an artist whose fursona is a puma. He is also a member of SOAP.

Fictional character background
Skan is 5'10" tall and weighs 130lbs. He comes from a rather harsh background, with no real parental figures in his early life. He never knew his parents, but has never really been concerned about them.

Skan is a self-taught, self-reliant rogue. Wandering from place to place, he has never really had the chance to let others get close to him. He does not care what people think about him, and only a few have pierced his hard outer shell to get to know the real Skan.

The name "Skan Drake" is actually a reference to the main charter, a Gryphon named Skandranon in Mercedes Lackey's Mage Wars books.

Real life
Skan's real life name is Charles, although he dislikes the name and has been trying to phase out its use. Born in Dayton, Ohio, U.S.A, Skan later moved to Charlotte, North Carolina, and as of October, 2008, resides in Blacksburg, Virgina, attending Virginia Tech.

Chạrles used to regularly compete in the USEF (United States Equestrian Federation) but has not since attending school in Virginia.

Art
Skan's art is mostly CGI still-life artwork. He uses TrueSpace v.6, Maxon Cinema 4D, and 3DS.
