'''Barkley Beaver''', or just '''Barkley''', also known as '''Trance88''' and '''Pochanos Porcupine''' (born September 21, 1988),<ref name="BarkleyDA">[http://trance88.deviantart.com/ Trance88's profile] on [[DeviantArt]].

<br />
== Fandom involvement ==<br />
<br />
Barkley first came across [[furry artwork]] in 2006 while browsing [[DeviantArt]] looking for [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] [[fan art]]. He had already been a Sonic the Hedgehog fan since 1995, and an avid reader of the [[Archie Comics]]/[[Sega]] published '''''Sonic the Hedgehog''''' [[comic book]] since 2001. <br />
<br />
Barkley didn't take any real interest in the [[furry community]] until July 2013 when he discovered the monthly [[West Michigan Furry Bowl Meet]] held at the [https://www.sec300.com Spectrum Lanes] in [[W:Wyoming, Michigan|Wyoming, Michigan]], which was only a few miles from where he lived at the time.<br />
<br />
=== Fursonas ===<br />
<br />
Barkley's main [[fursona]], '''Barkley Beaver''',<ref name="BarkleyFA"/> was created on July 29, 2013, only 2 days after attending his first [[furry]] bowl [[furmeet|meet]], and is a [[beaver]] "strongman".<ref name="BarkleyFA">[http://www.furaffinity.net/user/scourge160/ Barkley Beaver's profile] on [[Fur Affinity]]. Retrieved April 19, 2014.</ref><br />
<br />
Barkley created a secondary fursona in early 2015 named, '''Pochanos Porcupine'''. An athletic, [[prehensile tail]]ed porcupine, covered in white fur and orange-colored [[quill]]s.<ref name="BarkleyFA">[http://www.furaffinity.net/view/22234485/ Pochanos Full Bio] on [[Fur Affinity]].

<br />
=== Fursuits ===<br />
<br />
Barkley [[commission]]ed his first Barkley Beaver [[partial suit]] (Barkley Beaver v.1) in mid-2014, and was completed in September 2014 by ''[[Snow Leopard Creations]]''. In late 2017, Barkley commissioned ''[[White Wolf Creations]]'' to produce a new full Barkley Beaver [[fursuit]] (Barkley Beaver v.2). This suit was completed in September 2018.<br />
