Faux-Pa

Faux-Pa, full 23-Shades-of-Faux-Pa, also known as Nikolai-The-Wolfdog, and Linicks, is a furry artist and e621 user from Reno, Nevada, USA. His real name is Jonathin and has considered himself a furry since he was 14. According to his Twitter, he was born on December 15th, 1997.

Faux-Pa increments his name by one every year to reflect his current age. For example, in 2018, his name on e621 was 20-Shades-of-Faux-Pa.

Fursonas
Faux-Pa has two fursonas. His main Fursona, Nikolai Stevenson, is an overweight Czechoslovakian Wolfdog born in an American Embassy in Russia. He has brown and cream-coloured two-tone fur, brown hair, digitgrade hind paws and a green-tipped tail. Nikolai was originally drawn as an athletic character, but in an effort to align closer to the real-life appearance of Faux-Pa, this was changed to his current state.

Walter is a sort of meta-character that Faux-Pa uses to represent himself on e621 and Discord. He claims that Walter is Nikolai's online alter ego. Walter is a red fox, and the only art of him is a headshot Faux-Pa commissioned ratte for.

Neither of Faux-Pa's fursonas are used in roleplay.

Conventions
Faux-Pa has attended the following furry conventions:

Controversy
Faux-Pa has gone under many names, most notably Linicks until that account was banned in November of 2016 for ban evasion. He was banned for being accused of spamming racial slurs.

With special permission from the e621 administration, NotMeNotYou reinstated Faux-Pa's account under the condition that he does not attempt to start any more drama in the forums or IRC. To this day, Faux-Pa stands by his claims that he was not the person who spammed the IRC with racial slurs.
