=== '''Jonesy Tawner''' ===
[[File:Jonesy by Furball.png|right|thumb|A more recent picture of Jonesy Tawner, presenting her current outfit, hairstyle and glasses. Art by [[Furball (Canada)|Furball]].]]
A 4.5' [[anthropomorphic]] [[hermaphrodite]] [[bunny]] of the dwarf bunny kind. Originally a spin-off character of [[DrJones|DrJones/Doc Jones]], she quickly became an entire character of her own.

Her appearance is very much like Doc Jones in term of fur colour, being a deep blue. The color of her eyes is blue as well, while her skin and nose are pink. She has long hair, often styled into a braid. She also wears gold-framed glasses as she is nearsighted (''see '''Factory Failsafes''' below''). While Jonesy is generously endowed by her in-story-creators, she is by no means a [[Wingerized]] [[fursona]], though this varies on occasion and is used mostly for fun (''see '''Abilities and weaknesses''' below'').

Jonesy has a passive yet easygoing personality; she prefers to listen and watch and hang out in company of friends. She likes to be kind to others as she likes kindness in response and is hard to offend. She found that people she doesn't know are often worried about approaching her for the first time in fear that she will reject them. Such is not the case because she loves making friends and cares for those who are truly sincere. Sometimes if she has a bit too much energy, she tends to become rather bouncy and active.

As of 2015, Jonesy's body has existed for 14 years. Note that her mental age has been programmed to start at 20, giving her a roughly 35 year old's mindset nowadays.

==== Background ====

Jonesy was created by Halcyon Corporation who specializes in genetic engineering for war. They have been largely successful as suppliers of military units of all sorts, and have decided to try out in the entertainment area as well. Their first project was a sex toy bunny. After numerous test iterations, the first successfully created version was Number 15, later known as Jonesy. Previous models either did not shape properly or suffered various failures, for example Number 14 died soon after creation due to a neural failure. Jonesy has once been referred to as being an fully biological [[anthroid|android]].

The original design was that of a petite all-black bunny with both sexes, meant to obey every command without a will of its own, cheap to manufacture and easy to replace. Due to mysterious benefactors, Jonesy gained self-awareness as she slept before the day that she was to be handed over to Halcyon Corp's CEO. As this awareness occurred, she made her escape more by luck than wits, even if her mental capacity was increased to genius levels. The change also turned her fur entirely blue while keeping her skin colour unchanged. She later found out that a mysterious [[symbiote]] had bonded with her on a molecular level, effectively fusing with her into one being. She believes that Number 15 only exists as her training of a sex toy and body, while her personality belongs to that of the symbiote.

After her escape, Jonesy sought out a safe place with the [[Tawner Family]] who took her in on their moving private space station Safehold. There she matured and grew under the loving, caring tutelage of [[Nikotaka Tawner|Nikotaka 'Niko' Tawner]] and the nightfox's friends such as [[Faeon]], [[Malaika]] and others. The family grew as they moved from Safehold to the land of [[FurryMUCK|FM]] where they were joined by [[Tazel Sixpaws]], [[Doral]], [[Pikacha]] and several others.

During this and later time, Jonesy became an accomplished scientist and doctor, skilled in many of the fields that both professions encompass, her main interests have become Artificial Intelligence and Genetics.

Only recently she has found out about and met others in her line of work such as [[DrFoxyTrinity|Dr. Foxy Trinity]], [[DrSkerry|Dr. Veronica Skerry]] and [[DrWednesday|Dr. Holly Wednesday]].

==== Abilities and weaknesses ====

Jonesy possesses no special abilities of her own aside from her smarts that she gained during her change and the knowledge she put into her head over the years. Her body, while petite in build, possesses the natural width and strength of the lower body that rabbits are known for. She can run very quickly but does not possess more physical strenght than any humanoid of her size. She does however posess superior stamina as part of her morning jogging routines as well as other activities.

Her interest in genetics has given her the ability reprogram her DNA, with the unique nature of her body due to the symbiote, she is able to experience similar [[shapeshifting]] abilities as [[DrJones]], however these are not done at will but by ingesting a special programming fluid that she often carries around with her. The shapes, in similar fashion to DrJones, last longer if they're of equal size and mass as herself. She's been known to change herself into a 10 foot tall [[multifurry|multi-limbed]] version of herself she dubbed the ''Alpha Bunny'', a [[Skunk (species)|skunk]], [[mink]] and [[mouse]] shape to name a few.

During her time on FurryMUCK, she had numerous meetings with various demonic creatures such as [[Chessia]], [[Oni]], [[Charm]] and [[MiaFillene]]. It was during one of her meetings with Charm when the arctic vixen's seed supercharged Jonesy's body, giving her an at-will ability to become a half-demon. In this shape, Jonesy is a head taller than usual, has black fur and skin and has the characteristic 'horns' that a demon has, if small in size. In this shape, her male and female attributes are very exaggerated and over productive.

==== "Factory Failsafes" ====

This demonic ability has become less and less used after Jonesy discovered documentation of herself, finding out her body had a limited lifespan of 5 years. She tried to find various ways of fixing this limitation, without much success. Luck as it would be, during Chessia and Oni's wedding, at the after party, she was splashed by Charm's seed once again. This dose was much more intensive as the vixen was in an excited state and it again supercharged Jonesy's body to the point she could live off the energy, surpassing her 5 year lifespan. Since then, Jonesy must be "recharged" every decade.

Another problem Jonesy had to overcome early in her first year of life, was another of the failsafes built into her body to avoid her survival without Halcyon Corp. The worst of them next to the limited life span was the D gene. Short for Degeneration, it is a special gene designed to make her break down. The symptoms were neural pathways shutting down over time, rendering Jonesy less and less intelligent and more feral while other parts of her body started to fail such as heart, lungs, hearing, sight, etc. Jonesy was saved in time, with help of Niko. All of the damage caused was slowly restored by Jonesy's symbiote, unfortunately, her eyesight never returned to normal and she was forced to wear glasses.

=== '''DrJones''' ===

Also known as '''Doc Jones''', is a former fictional character of Jonesy Tawner's player. While the nickname was initially inspired by the famous [[Wikipedia:Indiana Jones|Indiana Jones]] series, the character didn't exist until a character had to be created for a group story that was part of the [[Jazz Jackrabbit]] community forums. In this light, DrJones became a blue-furred male rabbit. Soon after, because the site Lori Central gained a large interest, DrJones became [[Lori Jackrabbit]]'s non-canon boyfriend and later her non-canon fiancé.

The character of DrJones was used for several years until the creation of Jonesy Tawner. The original was renamed to '''Doc Jones'''.

==== Appearance ====
Doc Jones is 5.5 feet tall and has a slightly muscular build. Like his counterpart Jonesy Tawner, he has no fur markings, his entire pelt of a deep blue colour.
His abilities consist of [[shapeshifting]], though its use limited by size and mass. The larger a shape he chooses to assume, the more strength that will sap. One unique ability was his ability to shift into non-organic items as well, known to become a spaceship and car on occasion.

In the original story he arrived at [[Carrotus]] of the '''Jazz Jackrabbit''' universe at the time of the second game [[Wikipedia:Jazz Jackrabbit 2|Jazz Jackrabbit 2]] and met Lori. They fell in love and got closer much to the creator's surprise as he intended it all to be a fair chase, with Lori's creator as judge.

Spider-Man Unlimited

2023-02-11T12:55:44Z

2601:18D:4700:2D30:F967:A73B:3806:F5FC:

'''''Spider-Man Unlimited''''' is the title of both an animated television series which aired from 1999 to 2001, and three comic book series, one of which, a 6-volume series, was based on the television series and published soon after the series began airing. However, the series was short-lived, having been cancelled after airing only 13 episodes and ending on a cliffhanger.

==Plot==
While covering the launch of John Jameson's one-man mission to Counter-Earth (another Earth located on the far side of the Sun), Spider-Man attempts to stop his two symbiote adversaries Venom and Carnage from boarding the shuttlecraft. Blamed for losing contact with Jameson by J. Jonah Jameson of the Daily Bugle, Spider-Man becomes a target of persecution by the media and the public at large, with a bounty placed on his head. After John Jameson had made contact with Earth through a distress signal, Spider-Man borrows nanotechnology from Reed Richards to design a new suit that incorporates built in webshooters, stealth technology and anti-symbiote sonic weaponry. Making his way to Counter-Earth after persuading an attacking Nick Fury to let him rescue Jameson, Spider-Man learns that Jameson has fallen in with a band of freedom fighters opposed to the High Evolutionary whose Beastials, hybrids of animal and humanoid attributes, are the dominant species whilst humans are the second-class minority.

With Jameson reluctant to return until all of the Beastials are defeated, Spider-Man elects to remain on Counter-Earth, blending in as best as he can as Peter Parker, taking up residence in the apartment of a doctor, Naoko Yamada-Jones and her son Shane and fighting the High Evolutionary, his Knights of Wundagore, and his Machine Men alongside the rebels as Spider-Man. It is soon discovered that Venom and Carnage are also on Counter-Earth, and are following orders from the Synoptic, a hive-minded legion of Counter-Earth symbiotes.

This series also shows the animated version of John Jameson's Man-Wolf form, superhero versions of mainstream villains Green Goblin and Vulture, and Counter-Earth's counterparts of Kraven the Hunter and Electro.

=="Furry" in Spider-Man Unlimited==
While there have been many [[anthropomorphic]] mutant heroes and villains in the Marvel Comics and media repository spanning the company's entire history, ''Spider-Man Unlimited'' is notable for being one of the few instances from Marvel that featured an entire world (in this case, Counter-Earth) populated and dominated mostly by anthropomorphic [[human]]-[[animal]] [[hybrid]] creatures called Beastials created from animals being genetically uplifted by the High Evolutionary. Furthermore, it placed Spider-Man's own origins (being a human who was bitten by a radioactive spider's bite and being given [[spider]]-like attributes that he uses to his heroic advantage as his masked character) into a stronger profile, as he was once again faced with an ambition of his enemies to turn him into a truly-arachnoid, half-spider and half-man creature.

In the ''Spider-Man Unlimited'' world, other characters from other Marvel franchises make appearances including the Spider-Man comics, including [[wikipedia:John Jameson (comics)|John Jameson]] who turns into Man-Wolf in one episode of the television series "Ill Met by Moonlight," marking the first time that his Man-Wolf form has appeared outside of the comics, but his transformation was the result from being one of the High Evolutionary's experiments which happens when he gets angry as opposed to being caused by a gemstone, and a Bestial [[W:Wolverine (character)|Wolverine]] also makes an appearance as the bestial form of the scientist husband of Peter Parker's landlady, who is a local doctor for human patients along with a Bestial [[W:Chameleon (character)|Chameleon]] who also appears.

He served with Jesse Alexander (the father of [[W:Nova (Sam Alexander)|Sam Alexander]]), Mister Z'zz, The Phlish, and a few other Supernovas.<ref>''Nova'' Vol. 5 #1</ref>

Following the desertion of Jesse Alexander, Titus was attacked by the [[W:Chitauri|Chitauri]] which lead to the loss of Titus' right eye and arm causing him to replace his missing parts with cybernetics. After serving the Chitauri for several years, Titus came to Earth in search of Jesse Alexander's Nova helmet.<ref>''Nova'' Vol. 5 #3</ref>

==In other media==
===Television===
* Titus appears in the ''[[W:Ultimate Spider-Man (TV series)|Ultimate Spider-Man]]'' episode "Return of the Guardians of the Galaxy," voiced by J.B. Blanc. He was a member of the Nova Corps until he betrayed it at some point and formed an alliance with the Chitauri. When Titus discovered that there was a remaining Nova Helmet on Earth wielded by Sam Alexander, he sent his forces to retrieve it. Titus fought against Spider-Man when he was helping Nova and other [[Guardians of the Galaxy (2008 team)|Guardians of the Galaxy]]. Titus was defeated by Nova and was taken away by the Guardians of the Galaxy while the remaining Chitauri escaped. In "Contest of Champions" Pt. 4, Grandmaster used Titus, Doctor Octopus, Absorbing Man, and Executioner into attacking [[Captain America]] and Hawkeye. Titus was subdued by Spider-Man.

* Titus appears in ''[[Guardians of the Galaxy (TV series)|Guardians of the Galaxy]]'' voiced again by J.B. Blanc. In the episode "Origins," Titus was present with Rhomann Dey when Drax the Destroyer turned himself over to the Nova Corps. In the episode "Take the Milano and Run," the Guardians of the Galaxy encountered Titus on the space station Cojunction after they crashed the Milano. Grandmaster managed to convince Titus to not arrest them. Titus later catches Star-Lord and Gamora ended up in a fight within Lunatik's nightclub as Lunatik talks Titus out of taking action since the fight occurred in his club.

In the episode "Can't Fight This Seedling," Titus pursues the Guardians of the Galaxy to another planet and is tricked into crashing into an asteroid. While on the planet, Titus gets his ship repaired as he witnesses [[Groot]] infected by the parasitic fungus. During the Guardians of the Galaxy's fight with a possessed Groot, Titus contacted Nova Corps HQ for approval of the use for an anti-matter missile. Even though he was denied, Titus still wanted to use it which led to Drax the Destroyer redirecting the anti-matter missile to the meteor that carried the parasitic fungus. While in his ship, Titus confronted the Guardians of the Galaxy to arrest them and was forced to leave when the locals threatened to take a stand. In the episode "Undercover Angle," Titus catches the Guardians of the Galaxy while they are infiltrating the Nova Corp HQ on Xandar. He decides to spare from being imprisoned on Kyln in exchange that the Guardians of the Galaxy infiltrate the Black Order in order to keep them from finding a dangerous weapon. During the Guardians of the Galaxy's fight with the Black Order on another planet over the Universal Weapon that was previously used by Ronan the Accuser, Titus showed up and attacked both groups so that he can give the Universal Weapon to [[W:Collector (comics)|The Collector]]. This prompted a temporary truce between the Guardians of the Galaxy and the Black Order to keep the Universal Weapon from being claimed by Titus. Star-Lord was able to record Titus' confession of joining the Nova Corps to get involved with the black market and forwards it to the Nova Corps HQ. Titus is defeated by the Guardians of the Galaxy and later arrested by the Nova Corps as he vows to have his revenge on Star-Lord.

Upon Grandmaster's defeat, he is thrown near Titus who comments "This won't stay in Conjunction." The Guardians of the Galaxy then leave Conjunction as Star-Lord tells Titus "neither will we." In the episode "Can't Fight This Seedling," Titus pursues the Guardians of the Galaxy to another planet and is tricked into crashing into an asteroid. While on the planet, Titus gets his ship repaired as he witnesses [[Groot]] infected by the parasitic fungus. During the Guardians of the Galaxy's fight with a possessed Groot, Titus contacted Nova Corps HQ for approval of the use for an anti-matter missile. Even though he was denied, Titus still wanted to use it which led to Drax the Destroyer redirecting the anti-matter missile to the meteor that carried the parasitic fungus. While in his ship, Titus confronted the Guardians of the Galaxy to arrest them and was forced to leave when the locals threatened to take a stand. In the episode "Undercover Angle," Titus catches the Guardians of the Galaxy while they are infiltrating the Nova Corp HQ on Xandar. He decides to spare from being imprisoned on Kyln in exchange that the Guardians of the Galaxy infiltrate the Black Order in order to keep them from finding a dangerous weapon. During the Guardians of the Galaxy's fight with the Black Order on another planet over the Universal Weapon that was previously used by Ronan the Accuser, Titus showed up and attacked both groups so that he can give the Universal Weapon to [[W:Collector (comics)|The Collector]]. This prompted a temporary truce between the Guardians of the Galaxy and the Black Order to keep the Universal Weapon from being claimed by Titus. Star-Lord was able to record Titus' confession of joining the Nova Corps to get involved with the black market and forwards it to the Nova Corps HQ. Titus is defeated by the Guardians of the Galaxy and later arrested by the Nova Corps as he vows to have his revenge on Star-Lord.

Spider-Man Unlimited

2023-02-11T12:24:41Z

2601:18D:4700:2D30:F967:A73B:3806:F5FC: /* "Furry" in Spider-Man Unlimited */

'''''Spider-Man Unlimited''''' is the title of both an animated television series which aired from 1999 to 2001, and three comic book series, one of which, a 6-volume series, was based on the television series and published soon after the series began airing. However, the series was short-lived, having been cancelled after airing only 13 episodes and ending on a cliffhanger.

==Plot==
While covering the launch of John Jameson's one-man mission to Counter-Earth (another Earth located on the far side of the Sun), Spider-Man attempts to stop his two symbiote adversaries Venom and Carnage from boarding the shuttlecraft. Blamed for losing contact with Jameson by J. Jonah Jameson of the Daily Bugle, Spider-Man becomes a target of persecution by the media and the public at large, with a bounty placed on his head. After John Jameson had made contact with Earth through a distress signal, Spider-Man borrows nanotechnology from Reed Richards to design a new suit that incorporates built in webshooters, stealth technology and anti-symbiote sonic weaponry. Making his way to Counter-Earth after persuading an attacking Nick Fury to let him rescue Jameson, Spider-Man learns that Jameson has fallen in with a band of freedom fighters opposed to the High Evolutionary whose Beastials, hybrids of animal and humanoid attributes, are the dominant species whilst humans are the second-class minority.

With Jameson reluctant to return until all of the Beastials are defeated, Spider-Man elects to remain on Counter-Earth, blending in as best as he can as Peter Parker, taking up residence in the apartment of a doctor, Naoko Yamada-Jones and her son Shane and fighting the High Evolutionary, his Knights of Wundagore, and his Machine Men alongside the rebels as Spider-Man. It is soon discovered that Venom and Carnage are also on Counter-Earth, and are following orders from the Synoptic, a hive-minded legion of Counter-Earth symbiotes.

This series also shows the animated version of John Jameson's Man-Wolf form, superhero versions of mainstream villains Green Goblin and Vulture, and Counter-Earth's counterparts of Kraven the Hunter and Electro.

=="Furry" in Spider-Man Unlimited==
While there have been many [[anthropomorphic]] mutant heroes and villains in the Marvel Comics and media repository spanning the company's entire history, ''Spider-Man Unlimited'' is notable for being one of the few instances from Marvel that featured an entire world (in this case, Counter-Earth) populated and dominated mostly by anthropomorphic [[human]]-[[animal]] [[hybrid]] creatures called Beastials created from animals being genetically uplifted by the High Evolutionary. Furthermore, it placed Spider-Man's own origins (being a human who was bitten by a radioactive spider's bite and being given [[spider]]-like attributes that he uses to his heroic advantage as his masked character) into a stronger profile, as he was once again faced with an ambition of his enemies to turn him into a truly-arachnoid, half-spider and half-man creature.

In the ''Spider-Man Unlimited'' world, other characters from other Marvel franchises make appearances including the Spider-Man comics, including [[wikipedia:John Jameson (comics)|John Jameson]] who turns into Man-Wolf in one episode of the television series "Ill Met by Moonlight," marking the first time that his Man-Wolf form has appeared outside of the comics, but his transformation was the result from being experimented by the High Evolutionary which happens when he gets angry as opposed to being caused by a gemstone, and a Bestial [[W:Wolverine (character)|Wolverine]] also makes an appearance as the bestial form of the scientist husband of Peter Parker's landlady, who is a local doctor for human patients along with a Bestial [[W:Chameleon (character)|Chameleon]] who also appears.

==Fictional character biography==
[[File:Rocket raccoon 01.jpg|right|thumb|170px|left|Cover to ''Rocket Raccoon'' #1. Cover art by Mike Mignola and Al Gordon.]]
Rocket Raccoon acts as the "Guardian of the Keystone Quadrant", an area of outer space sealed off from the rest of the cosmos by the so-called Galacian Wall. Rocket is captain of the starship ''Rack 'n' Ruin'', and he and his first mate Wal Rus (a talking walrus) come from the planet Halfworld, in the Keystone Quadrant, an abandoned colony for the mentally ill where the animal companions were genetically manipulated to grant them human level intelligence and bipedal body construction for many to become caretakers of the inmates. Rocket was Halfworld's chief law officer ("ranger") who protected the colony against various threats.<ref name="Hulk271">"Rocket Raccoon!" in ''The Incredible Hulk'' issue 271 (May 1982, Marvel Comics).

In reality, Jakes and Blackjack O'Hare had worked with Rocket in providing security at Halfworld Asylum for the Criminally Insane; ''Doctor'' Dyvyne had been Head of Psychology there; and both the anthropomorphic animals and the automaton clowns were deliberately created to work at the asylum, as their appearance would calm the inmates. The crises that Rocket half-remembered had been caused by the psychic supervillain the Star Thief, who had been admitted as an inmate and used his psychic powers to turn the inhabitants against each other. Rocket had turned the warders into a biological "key" to keep Star-Thief locked up, and deliberately altered his mind and left Halfworld so it could never be opened - but he was tricked into returning by the Thief, whose mind had escaped into the asylum after his host body died.<ref name="Annihilators3">"Wraithfire" in ''Annihilators'' issue 3 (July 2011, Marvel Comics) Writer Dan Abnett, cowriter Andy Lanning, penciller Tan Eng Huat, inker Victor Olazaba</ref>

==Powers and abilities==
Rocket Raccoon possesses the normal attributes of an Earth raccoon, including speed (which has been additionally amplified by his training) an acute sense of smell, sight, hearing and touch. He is an accomplished starship pilot, an excellent marksman with the two laser pistols he carries as well as having an affinity for heavy weapons. He is also an excellent military tactician and leader, attributes that help him take charge of the Guardians of the Galaxy when Starlord is unavailable.
