Tamias is usually seen wearing a chipmunk avatar of his own creation made to the likeness of his Fursona. He Also has two alt accounts, one of which features an avatar to the likeness of his other Principal fursona Jerry Lee.

Jerry Lee
Dating back to 1990 Jerry Lee is the oldest of Tamias's two principal fursonas. He is currently a male anthropomorphic chipmunk from the Chipmunk Kingdom. He is the main protagonist of a story in which pitted him against the Inner Circle a diabolical cult like group that took over the Chipmunk Kingdom and nearly eradicated the Divine Destiny the primary chipmunk religion and culture. Jerry is brash and in your face. He never backs down from the challenge. A hard charger, go getter, hold 'em high, do or die type of guy Jerry's determination made this brave hero the Inner Circle's eventual undoing.

Jerry begin life in 1995 as a fan character of Chip n' Dale Rescue Rangers. However years of development and revisions resulted in his current state as the protagonist of the Chipmunk Kingdom. However he was placed in retirement about 5 years ago when he sacrificed his life to insure his storyline's main villain was utterly destroyed by the Sun's Wrath. But on March, 7, 2010 Jerry was revived from hiatus as a Second Life avatar to be used in roll play and as a secondary account to compliment Tamias in his Estate Management duties.



Tamias Orenberg
Tamias Orenburg is Tamias's current fursona, primary Second Life avatar, and internet handle. Like Jerry, Tamias's back story is centered on the Chipmunk Kingdom. However Tamias lives roughly 300 years after Jerry Lee's time. This chipmunk began his adult life as diplomat representing the Chipmunk Kingdom and its interests on the world stage. However his calm nature, wit, inspiring oration skills, and his stead fast loyalty to the Chipmunk Kingdom and especially the Devine Destiny quickly catapulted him to Chipmunk Chieftain, the pontiff of the Devine Destiny and cartaker of the Synergy Crystal, chipmunk kind's most sacred object. As chieftain he is faced with the daunting challenge of spurring the Chipmunk Kingdom and other animal nations to endure and overcome the ravages of the despotic Human Supremacist Organization (HSO).

As an orphened Kit adopted by a human family he has no memory of his blood parents. Raised as a human Tamias faces a difficult choice to either stay with and uphold what his family thought him at the risk of alienating his fellow chipmunks or accept and embrace the chipmunk he is at the risk of letting down the humans who raised him. Making this already difficult choice even more daunting is his choice will affect the outcome of the struggles between animals and the HSO.

Believing Jerry Lee to be one of the greatest chipmunk to have ever lived for saving the Chipmunk Kingdom from the Inner Circle 300 years ago, Tamias used the power of the Synergy Crystal to revive this hero. He has assigned to Jerry the task of aiding the Chipmunk Kingdom and the rest of the animal nations of the world in the fight against the HSO.

On the surface Tamias is docile, very courteous, and every bit the diplomat. But beneath that surface this chipmunk is very loving and filled with passion and emotion. Dealing with bouts of loneliness due to his internal struggles Tamias loves companionship and is very affectionate to his friends.
