174.109.246.118: nvm don't worry about it

page seemed to be lacking some information

fixed it

: Done. I've done what I can. --[[User:Sneakster|Sneakster]] 02:40, 11 June 2012 (EDT)

Considering Renard identifies as agender, shouldn't this article contain gender-neutral pronouns("they" instead of "he")?
If it's completely necessary, there could be a mention of biological sex but it seems to me that neutral language would be more polite towards their identity. {{unsigned|Lazy}}

:Per policy, people should be refered to in articles by their prefered pronouns: [[Help:Furry Book of Style#Articles about people]]. In this case, what I see in the edit history is that this article [http://en.wikifur.com/w/index.php?title=Renard_Queenston&oldid=197825 was started in 2008] by [[User:Renard Queenston]] with male pronouns in the text. If Renard Queenston (now) prefers to be refered to by a different set of pronouns, the article here can be edited to reflect that prefered usage. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 19:31, 16 January 2013 (EST)

== Renard/Renard Queenston ==

In the tracks there only stands "Renard", but "Renard Queenston" is used to refer to his as a person.

So, what's the diffrence between Renard and Renard Queenston? Or are they the same? {{unsigned|212.183.75.153}}

== Sexual abuse and rape ==

Shouldn't there be at least a mention of the sexual abuse and rape that Ren has even admitted to? [[Special:Contributions/71.170.110.181|71.170.110.181]] 22:36, 24 January 2014 (EST)

'''Renard Queenston''', also known as '''Ren Queenston''', '''Lapfox''', '''Voodoo Nurse''', and '''NSRRenard''' (born 1988), is an [[W:Androgyny|agendered]] [[W:electronic music|electronic]] [[musician]] and [[W:game designer|game designer]]. They live in [[Wikipedia:Hamilton, Ontario|Hamilton, Ontario]], Canada.

== Personas ==

* '''Renard''' - A gender-null [[fox]]/[[raccoon]] [[hybrid]] with [[tentacle]]-like dreads, often portrayed as a nurse. Renard are sometimes nicknamed the '''Voodoo Nurse'''. The genre of music that is most familiarized with Renard is [[W:Breakcore|Breakcore/Raggacore]]. Originally, Renard Queenston were a [[male]] [[anthropomorphic]] red, black, and white fox/raccoon with shoulder-length hair. This version was a closer representation to Renard, the [[artist]]. In 2009, he was redesigned, with black hair, dreadlocks and a nurse outfit. Later on, it became a genderless being, as they felt it better represents what they do creatively. Renard and Jackal Queenston are often viewed as being related as brothers and together form the alias '''The Queenstons'''. Renard's design was assisted by artist [[Kamicheetah]].
* '''Adraen''' - A [[dragon]] and [[rhinoceros]]-like [[creature]] with black skin, green hair, and glowing green markings. He produces intense breakcore and [[W:Mainstream hardcore|hardcore]] digital [[W:Rave music|rave music]]. Renard stated that this alias was retired on their official Tumblr, stating that his style had grown too much into what [[Kitcaliber]] now uses.{{clarify}}{{fact}}
* '''Aurastys''' - A silver [[female]] [[chozo]] with glowing blue eyes and features. She produces [[W:Dark ambient|dark ambient]], [[W:Drone music|drone]], and [[W:Noise music|noise music]] with [[sci-fi]] influences.
* '''Azrael''' - No [[animal]] is known to be associated with this [[persona]]. The music Queenston compose under this persona is a blend of hardcore techno and gabber music, very much in the same vein as the very popular [[W:Thunderdome (music festival)|Thunderdome music festivals]] in the Netherlands.
* '''Bandetto''' - Bandetto is an orange, [[canine]] [[Balloonie|pool]] toy who wears a magneto bandanna with a set of [[jaw]]s on it. Bandetto produces [[W:Happy hardcore|happy hardcore]] with really strong Japanese influences. Although Renard stated that this specific alias isn't associated with the Lapfox label the lapfox community has widely accepted him as being part of it.
* '''Darius''' - A gender-null black and white striped [[badger]]/[[Skunk (species)|skunk]] hybrid. Darius's first album, '''Ergosphere''', is one of the most popular albums on the Lapfox Trax's Bandcamp site. Darius produces [[W:Album-oriented_rock#Freeform_and_progressive|freeform and progressive fusion]], having lots of [[W:Psychedelic trance|spacey trance]]-esque and [[jazz]] influences.
*'''D-Mode-D''' - A pair of [[crossdressing]] [[crow]]s, one being white and green, while the other is black and green. D-Mode-D is also signed to Lapfox's affiliate record label '''Breakbit'''. Renard uses them as an experimental outlet, producing music such as [[W:Retro|retromodern]] [[W:Leftfield (genre)|left field]], [[W:Dancehall|electronic dancehall]] and dance floor-type music.
* '''Eugene''' - Eugene is an intersected [[Demon|Hellhound]] who identifies as female. She is a long term friend of Truxton, and produces harsh, aggressive [[W:Hip hop|hip hop]] and noise muic and has so far only released one album.
* '''Furries in a Blender''' - Originally known as '''Emoticon''', is an off-white, rainbow-striped [[feline]] usually wearing rave accessories who produces happy hardcore, breakcore, and synth-core music.
* '''Jackal Queenston''' - A tan and brown [[jackal]] who is usually adorned in [[W:Nazi|Nazi]] and other [[W:WWII|WWII]] paraphernalia. He is portrayed as war-mongering, and produces [[W:Drum and Bass|drum and bass]] music, often with themes alluding to violence or power. His design was assisted by [[Elizabeth Sewell]].
* '''Kitcaliber''' - A male and female duo of white [[canine]]s named '''Kit''' (female, music) and '''Caliber''' (male, vocals) who typically wear gas masks and goggles that obscure their faces. They produce [[W:Digital hardcore|digital punk rock]], which often includes vocals.
* '''Kitsune²''' - A white, video game-loving [[rat]] who produces [[W:Chiptune|video game style chiptune]] and [[demotune]] music. He is often seen wearing shirts with references to video games such as [[W:PacMan|PacMan]] on them.
* '''Klippa''' - A large orange horned [[lizard]], similar to a [[dinosaur]]. He produces [[W:Downtempo|downtempo]], [[W:Skweee|skweee]], [[W:Dubstep|dubstep]], hip-hop, [[W:Glitch (music)|glitch-hop]], and other similar genres.
