[[Image:Deyna_(2).jpg|right|thumb|250px]]'''Deyna T. Otter''', a.k.a. Donald Jerome Moore (born December 6, 1985), is an amateur [[writer]], [[comedian]], poker player and poet who lives in [[Wikipedia:Cincinnati, Ohio, USA|Cincinnati, Ohio, USA]]. He currently works as a bartender and low stakes poker player. Deyna has been the Director of Sponsors' Lounge at [[Furry Connection North]] since 2009.

== Early Life ==
Donald was born on the Kentucky side of Cincinnati, Oh and then moved to the northern Suburb of Loveland, Oh when he was two. He went to catholic schools til 5th grade when he switched to public school. He was diagnosed as a child with depression, ADHD and bi-polar disorder and given strong anti-depressants and amphetamines since the age of ten. Donald admits that he developed an addiction to the amphetamines through most of middle school and early high school, often taking as many as two weeks recommended dosage over the course of 12 hours. While in this stage, at the age of thirteen, he attempted to rob a gas station and was arrested. Tried with attempted robbery, Donald was sent to a minimum security residential treatment facility in northern Kentucky for eighteen months.

At the age of eighteen, Donald refused to take any more prescription medicine and weaned himself off. He has been living without them since and has had no relapses.

== Furry ==

While in high school, Donald turned to online social networks, IRC Channels and various forums for anime and cartoons, and discovered furry art in the process. After chatting online with various people, he started visiting furry IRC channels and websites on a regular basis. He adopted his otter persona, Deyna Tibberius Otter II, drawing inspiration from Brian Jacques' book ''Taggerung'' from the [[Redwall]] series.

Deyna has been active in the convention scene since [[Midwest Furfest]] in 2004 and has attended several conventions around the U.S. In 2008 while visiting [[Gir Tygrin]] and [[Nik Vulper]] he volunteered to help with the Sponsors' Lounge at their new convention [[Furry Connection North]] and was asked to be on staff for 2009. Before FCN 2009, the prior director of Sponsors' Lounge stepped down due to personal reasons and Deyna was asked to take his place as an interim director. After working the convention, Deyna was asked to stay on as director for 2010. Deyna has announced that he will be returning to be director in 2011.

== Comedy ==

Deyna made his comedic debut at [[Rocket City Furmeet]] 2006 during the Open Rant with [[2]]. He, along with [[Isfacat]] and [[Bucktown Tiger]], were recognized as the funniest people in the room, with Isfacat winning first, Bucktown Tiger winning second and Deyna taking third (Isfacat went on to open for [[2, The Ranting Gryphon]] at the next RCFM). Deyna returned to RCFM 2007 and re-entered the Open Rant, taking second place while Bucktown Tiger and Mrs. Goblin tied for first.

In September of 2007, Deyna, along with his friends Isfacat and Bucktown Tiger, was asked to be a part of the [[Flea Collar Comedy Tour]] at [[Mephit Furmeet]]. Along with [[Adric Verminus]] and [[Tahamaki]], the group suceeded in making the room roar with laughter.

Deyna was asked to perform at [[Oklacon]] with his friends Isfacat and BuckTown Tiger, but had to cancel due to his financial situation.

At [[Rocket City Furmeet]] in 2009, Deyna was the opening act for Isfacat.

Deyna's comedic style can be described as observational, self-depriciating and non-sequitur, mixed with impersonations of Ozzy Osbourne and other music celebrities.

== Writing ==

Deyna writes stories revolving around five characters: Deyna T. Otter, Manuel "Shadow" Martinez, Morisoti Koichi, [[A.L.T.A.]], and the Phoenix. His writings are generally dramatic works based around fantasy or sci-fi.

'''Pedro Armanda''' is a [[tabby]] feline character in the ''Shadow'' series written by [[Deyna T. Otter]]. He is [[Manuel "Shadow" Martinez]]'s close friend and mechanic. He is also [[Maria Lightning Cloud]]'s boyfriend.

'''Maria Lightning Cloud''' is a coyote character from the ''Shadow'' series written by [[Deyna T. Otter]]. She is a close friend and ex-lover of [[Manuel "Shadow" Martinez]]. Maria is paralyzed from the waist down but is highly intelligent and works as Manuel's secretary and computer mastermind. She is one of the last of the Apache tribe, her Native name being Spirit Runner, a reference to her physical condition and how she lives very fast paced, despite her handicap. She is [[Pedro Armanda]]'s girlfriend and lives with him in New Sacramento.

== Poker ==

Deyna is an ameteur poker player with aspirations to turn pro. He is striving to hone his skills and increase his seed money to be able to play in the World Series of Poker's $1,500 No Limit Hold 'Em event within the next 5 years.

In 2008, at Midwest Fur Fest in Wheeling, IL, Deyna took second place in the Charity Poker Tournament to [[Aiden Raccoon]]. While he entered heads-up the chip leader, an all-in call reduced him to a 3:1 underdog and eventually garnered him a 2nd place finish.

In December of 2008, he attended the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cincinnati_reds Cincinnati Reds] "Redsfest" Charity poker tournament. He finished in 95th place out of 560+ entrants, and did not win any prize money.

In April of 2009, at [[Furry Connection North]], he finished 10th in the charity poker tournament.

In May of 2009, at [[Rocket City Furmeet]], Deyna was eliminated during the semi-finals of the charity poker tournament.

Deyna is a regular at the poker room in the Hollywood Casino (''formerly Argosy Casino'') in Lawrenceburg, IN. His games of choice are $1/$3, $2/$4 and $2/$5 No-Limit Texas Hold'em and $3-$6 Limit Hold'em. He enjoys playing Pot Limit Omaha (PLO), Limit Omaha Hi/Lo Split, 7-Card Stud Hi/Lo split, Razz, 7-Card Stud Hi and 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw but prefers tournaments to cash games. The dealers at the Hollywood Casino know Deyna as "Otter" because he carries a little plush otter with him at the tables. The otter's name is "Splash" and Deyna uses him to amuse and distract opponents at the table.

Deyna plays irregularly online on Pokerstars.com, Fulltilt.com, Cakepoker.com and Doylesroom.com under the screen name "Deyna_Otter". He can usually be found playing Mixed Games and Limit Hold'em for low and "micro" stakes.

{{Supporter}}__NOTOC__[[Image:Tomhowling-marcibadge-01.jpg|thumb|right|Tom Howling as a human animal, drawn by [[Marci McAdam]]]]

'''Tom Howling''' ('''Tom Geller'''; born 1968) is a [[furry]] who lives in [[Wikipedia:Oberlin, Ohio|Oberlin, Ohio]], U.S.A. He became involved in the [[furry fandom]] in late 1998, was formerly active in [[Bay Area Furry]] events, and now mostly takes part in the fandom at [[convention]]s.

==Furry persona==
As a child, Tom had a special affinity for [[dolphin]]s, and was deeply affected by the [[anthropomorphic]] [[character]]s in [[The Chronicles of Narnia]]. He first encountered furry community in a room party at the 1993 WorldCon in San Francisco ("ConFrancisco"), but didn't get involved until reading the [http://www.sfbg.com/SFLife/32/47/furries.html 26 August 1998 cover story in the San Francisco Bay Guardian]. He sought out the [[Bay Area Furry]] clan, started going to furry coffee at the old Cyber Cafes location in Sunnyvale, joined various online discussion groups, and participated in the first [[Further Confusion]] in January 1999.

He never settled on a specific [[genotype]], although he's been portrayed as a [[wolf]], [[fox]], and [[mouse]]. He took the name "Tom Howling" with no specific species in mind, thinking instead that many animals "howl" in one way or another. He's occasionally appeared under other names, most notably "Veggie Fried Mouse", but only temporarily.

In 2009 he started commissioning badges that depict him as a human, which he feels to be a member of the animal community on par with all others.

==Real-life persona==
Tom grew up in [[Wikipedia:Westchester County|Westchester County]], [[Wikipedia:New York|New York]]. He focused mostly on theater, writing and music, spending three summers at the [[Wikipedia:Interlochen Center for the Arts|Interlochen Center for the Arts]] and three at other music camps. He eventually went to [[Wikipedia:Oberlin Conservatory|Oberlin Conservatory]] and U. Cincinnati's [[Wikipedia:College Conservatory of Music|College Conservatory of Music]], from which he graduated cum laude with a B.Mus in Composition in 1991. He worked for six months at the [[Wikipedia:World Esperanto Association|World Esperanto Association]] in [[Wikipedia:Rotterdam|Rotterdam]] before returning to his newly adopted city of San Francisco. He lived there until early 2009, when he moved back to Oberlin, Ohio.

He is a freelance writer and presenter. Before that he spent nine in writing and editing, six in layout and print publication, four in public relations, four in real estate, and one in nonprofit administration. As a writer he counted among his clients [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_Chronicle The San Francisco Chronicle], [http://www.apple.com Apple], and [http://www.chemheritage.org The Chemical Heritage Foundation]. He's written extensively about the content-management system Drupal, including [http://drupalvqs.com a book] and [http://www.lynda.com/tomgeller several instructional video series].
