'''Hallow Fox''' (born September 24, 1986) is (in character) a 6'0 230lbs snowy white-furred Arctic Fox. He lives in [[Wikipedia:Brantford|Brantford]], [[Wikipedia:Ontario|Ontario]], Canada. Currently sharing an appartment with Fursuit Designer, Noble Wolf, he spends his days mostly job hunting and finding ways to keep active and away from his addiction; video games. Hallow is highly knowledgeable in the video game world and it's industry, considering himself to be a "Hardcore" gamer, though can't really play anything harder then "Medium" in Rockband or Guitar Hero.

==Gamer==
Hallow can be found on several online games. Steam based, Hallow regularily plays ''[[Wikipedia:Counter-Strike: Source|Counter-Strike: Source]]'', ''[[Wikipedia:Team Fortress 2|Team Fortress 2]]'', and ''[[Wikipedia:Left 4 Dead|Left 4 Dead]]'' (Steam ID '''maurice_prower''').
Other PC Games include Fallout 3, Dawn of War + Expansions, Dawn of War 2, and Need For Speed: Underground 2 for example.

Hallow owns a Nintendo Wii that collects dust due to it's shameful library of games. He plays ''[[Wikipedia:Super Smash Brothers: Brawl|Super Smash Brothers: Brawl]]'' when he has company to play with, but for the most part, ignores the system all together as a disappointment due to his lack of interest in playing novelty motion sensor games or excersizing with gimmicy fisherprice toys.

Hallow owns a 60GB PS3 (PSN ID '''Arctic_Fox_Pup'''} which Hallow is proud of that has never broken down like the 60GB PS3 are known for. The PS3 is Hallow's primary gaming console and can usually be found playing LittleBigPlanet, Rockband, Ghostbusters: The Game, or his older PS2 games which he cherishes so much.

Though Hallow does not own an xBox 360, Hallow does have a Live account that he uses when guesting on other systems owned by friends (Live Account ID '''Hallow_Fox'''). Hallow's favorite games on the system are the Gears of War series and playing Castle Crashers.

==Fursuiting==
Hallow frequently can be seen at events and meets donning his fursuit with the same name. The suit was designed originally by Noble Productions, owned by Hallow's roommate, Noble Wolf, but the suit has had some custom modifications to it involving self-made feet, special earrings, and costume pieces. Hallow's suit has appeared at serveral Toronto based events and at Anthrocon 2009 where he secured the bragging rights of "First Fursuiter".

==Offline and OOC==
Offline, Hallow is an avid media hound, and can usually be found tinkering with this software or that, but is usually CAUGHT playing video games. Art-wise, Hallow can only be described as a "Collector" as his drawing skills and tallent with digital art is lack due to his concentration on 3D work and programming. Dreaming to be a Game Designer, Hallow has a Degree in both Computer Animation and Video Game Design, though as of now doesn't have a solid enough Demo Reel to try and get his foot in the door. Hopes to move permanently to California, USA remain high in Hallow as that is where his mate is and where he believes is his future career in Game Design. He is [[mated]] to [[Tam Bunny]] via long distance relationship, but the promise stays strong after Hallow proposed to Tam Bunny in August of 2008, and re-proposing after a ring size adjustment at Anthrocon 2009 to a small audience. Upon moving to California and moving in with his mate, Tam Bunny, Hallow plans to also share company with his 3 year Pet, Oreo Blaqk, a Husky-Hyena mix submissive.
