Talk:Gathering of the Gargoyles

2008-12-05T01:46:14Z

DJ Pirtu:

While I can understand covering ''Gargoyles'' on WikiFur, I don't think we need an article on a Gargoyles-specific rather than furry-aimed event. Thoughts? -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 18:19, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Whitout actualy being in the con, it is hard for me to say for sure, but I think there is enough of an overlap between the fandoms from the con to deserve a space in WikiFur. I think it all comes down to interest. If enough furries are interested in this con, I don't see why not keep the article here. --[[User:DJ Pirtu|DJ Pirtu]] 01:46, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

'''DJ Pirtu''' ('''Ville Pirttimäki'''; born 1984) is a [[:Category:Finland|Finnish]] [[furry artist]] whose [[fursona]] is a black and white [[cat]]. His name derives from ''pirtu'', a Finnish word referring to a liquid with high concentration (95-96 vol-%<ref name="pirtu">[http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirtu Finnish Wikipedia article] on ''pirtu''</ref>) of [[Wikipedia:ethanol|ethanol]].

DJ Pirtu is a long-time fan of the webcomic ''[[Jack]]''.

== Lumus ==
More often than not, while [[role-playing]], DJ Pirtu adopts the character of '''Lumus''', who is either a [[human]] or a light brown [[feline]] character, with red stripes and hair. He is consistently a weaponsmith or something equivalent, always smiling and often possessing crossed eyes. His mental stability is also often questionable.

In [[Talla'doon MUCK]], Lumus was a [[werecat]]. As a weaponsmith character, he was soon promoted as a builder, to provide the players with their original and often bizzare weapons. Later on, not too long before the death of the MUCK, he was promoted to moderator.

Furfire

2008-10-31T13:15:59Z

DJ Pirtu: Added 'See also' to MUCK based on the comic world.

[[Image:FurFire20030809-2.jpg|right|frame|The ''Furfire'' crew stick together - no matter what!]]
'''''Furfire''''' is a [[furry]] [[web comic]] by [[Angela Beaman]], otherwise known as Silverfox Relahstar. The comics are separated into many arcs of variable length. This comic updates on a weekly basis.

==The History of Furfire==
The idea of Furfire originates from a story Angela wrote in the early 1990s named ''The Twilight Magic Project.'' She put the project on hold for a while as she experimented with other things such as [[Furcadia]], which eventually led her back to the project with renewed interest. Angela added the concept of "furmentials" and their powers over the elements and rechristened the project ''Furfire.'' In 2002, [[Terry Bailey]] joined the Furfire staff as a scriptwriter.

==Setting==
The story begins in the city of Talla'doon. Three races populate the world of Furfire: Humans, faffurs ([[anthropomorphic]] animals), and furmentials (faffurs with magical elemental powers). Later, due to a strange incident at an ancient temple, the story shifts to the world of the past.

==The plot so far==
{{spoiler}}
===Escape===
After a faro-bird knocks him unconscious during a mid-air battle, Savrin plummets to the ground. After unwillingly acting as a cushion, Diane ropes him (literally) into assisting her plot to rob an ancient temple. Diane inadvertently reveals her plan to the archaeologists at the temple, who promptly tie them up in a tent. During their excavation, the archaeologists trigger something ancient, releasing a horde of zairabats and opening a magic portal. One of the zairabats manages to give Diane a poisonous bite, putting her life in severe danger. With nowhere else to go, Savrin and Abbie leap through the portal with the unconscious Diane in tow.

===The Time Temple===
Several hours later, the trio land in a mysterious room with a pool of water. Soon discovered and led out of the temple by Quvas Litefoot, Savrin and Abbie realize that they were not in Talla'doon anymore. Quvas escorts them to the throne room of the Chief of the Wildtra.

The story then focuses on the present-day Talla'doon, detailing an exchange between the human Tyler Winchester and the rat Jaster Maivin. Jaster realizes that Tyler had seen Savrin, one of Vandabar Micker's former students, at the temple. Jaster then tells the tale of the Twilight Magic Team, of which Vandabar and Jaster's boss Cavecor Javrafar had been a part of. After an inexperienced Cavecor fell under the influence of the mysterious Shadow Dark, he turned on his fellow Team members, planning to usurp their elemental powers. Vandabar was the only one to survive Cavecor's assault, and he ran away into the night. Soon he began training new recruits, but only one had true potential: Savrin. He was the counterpart to Cavecor's new student, a female kangaroo he had mind-controlled when she was an infant.

===Wildtra - The First Tribe===
After Diane is taken away for healing, Savrin and Abbie find out that the Wildtra chief believes that they are a sign that an ancient legend has come to pass, that Diane is some sort of princess and the two guys are gods. In the guest room, Savrin takes a few minutes to worry about Diane and ponder where they were, theorizing that the portal had sent them into the past. Abbie initially discounts the notion, but the actions of the tribe members cause him to rethink this position. A festival is held in honor of the "gods."

===Tai'far===
Diane sneaks into Savrin's room while he is asleep, wakes him, and tells him that she overheard a guard plan to overthrow the chief along with something called the "Tai'far." Two shadowy assailants kidnap Diane and render Savrin unconscious. When he awakes, Savrin learns that the Wildtra chief and Abbie have gone missing as well. He eventually discovers their trail in the woods. Another shadowy faffur attacks Savrin, slashing Savrin's ear. Quvas appears in the nick of time, killing the assailant and removing the poison spines now embedded in Savrin's ear. Quvas unmasks the corpse, revealing a black weasel - a Tai'far assassin. The Tai'far are the "hidden enemy" of the Wildtra, the ones who the gods in the legend were supposed to dispatch. While the chief believes in the legend wholeheartedly, Quvas has his doubts. Diane and Abbie languish in a Tai'far prison.

The plot also shifts again to the present, centering upon a skunk named Taxwin. He is apparently drowning his sorrows and his memories of female named Lilly in beer when the feline faffur Katina appears to drag him home. Elsewhere, Tyler has a clandestine meeting with an unnamed male feline. Vandabar is shown practicing his fire magic and wondering where his lost student Savrin had gone.

===Zephyr's Tale===
Diane and Abbie discover a firewolf furmential in the prison cell next to them who promptly attacks Diane; Abbie halts his attack. The other prisoner reveals his name (Zephyr) and his heritage (firewolf furmential), the latter via transforming into his firewolf form. He notes that he had been in the prison for 9 months, and then launches into a story of how his brother Inavara betrayed him during a raid on a Tai'far camp, leaving him with a mysterious female Tai'far captor.

===The Fur Hunter===
Quvas seems to become quite aggravated whenever someone mentions his son’s death, even going as far as physically threatening Savrin when he asks a question about the incident. Then, without warning, they are ambushed by Maxwell Freeman, aka the Fur Hunter. Maxwell manages to paralyze Quvas and is about to remove his tail when Savrin hurries to the rescue. During the ensuing fight, Maxwell notices that Savrin did not appear to possess the abilities of a full-blooded furmential. While Savrin distracts the hunter by burning his leg, Quvas runs away, but Maxwell lodges a poisoned dagger in his arm. Savrin and Quvas do escape from the hunter, though. In his thoughts, Maxwell acknowledges that he cannot pursue the pair in his current state while also revealing that he works for Inavara.

At the same time, ten miles away, Diane accidentally creates a hole in the prison wall while bemoaning her lack of thieving skills. She also grudgingly helps Zephyr escape from the leg-chain that had been nullifying his magical powers; he immediately blows up the bars separating him from Abbie and Diane. Zephyr silences Diane’s angry protests with a kiss, which only incurs more of Diane’s wrath. The bickering continues until a sudden noise discloses the presence of what appeared to be Zephyr’s captor.

===Loss of the Love===
Back to the present, the plot focuses on Taxwin, who has a flashback to the times when he was training to become a member of the New Twilight Magic Team with the love of his life, Lilly, Vandabar’s top student. Taxwin had a nasty habit of teasing Vandabar’s “son,” Savrin. Vandabar sent his students on a simple scouting mission, which went horribly wrong after a surprise attack left Lilly dead. It was then that Taxwin left the New Twilight Magic Team. Shortly after that, Savrin ran away.

In the past, Quvas rested after Maxwell’s attack. Unbeknownst to him, the poison was taking effect. Savrin thought about some of the things that had been said about him in recent days and remembered what Vandabar had said to cause Savrin to abandon the kindly old horse. One day, Vandabar had recounted the tale of the firewolves, that had one day gone rabid and began a massive killing spree. After one of these slaughters, Vandabar had found Savrin in the ruins of the city and revealed that Savrin was most likely a human-firewolf hybrid. The shock of this information sent the young Savrin into a powerful rage, destroying the room. Terrified of what lay within him, Savrin ran away, leaving Vandabar to call weakly after him. Quvas quickly brings Savrin out of his reverie.

===Queen of the Tai'far===
In fact, the visitor is not Zephyr’s captor, but her daughter: Yuira, queen of the Tai’far. She uses her powers of hypnosis to hold Zephyr in a daze until Diane breaks her mesmerizing gaze with a piece of rubble. Yuira retaliates by putting Diane in a chokehold until Zephyr utilizes a flame spell to break the hold. When Yuira returns with reinforcements, Zephyr once again becomes a firewolf. With Abbie and Diane on his back, he blasts the wall to create and exit and leaps out into the moat.

In the present, Tyler stands watch outside of the ancient temple. The male feline (Tyler revealed that his name was Fu) contacts him telepathically and reminds him of his task, which is apparently to retrieve a carving from the ruins.

===The Yellow Rose===
The wound is affecting Quvas more than he lets on. Despite his valiant attempts to continue, he collapses. Quvas then comes to the realization that Maxwell’s dagger was poisoned. Since the rules of the High Guard state that one cannot return if one has been injured outside of the village, Savrin takes Quvas to the nearest town in order to heal him and allow him to return to his tribe. As the town isn’t exactly friendly towards furmentials, Savrin disguises himself with a stolen robe. At the Inn of the Yellow Rose, a pink and yellow vixen ([[HollyAnn]]) comes to Quvas and Savrin’s aid when Savrin gets into a fight. Conveniently enough, Hollyann is also a healer. Due to the seriousness of his wound, she uses a rather unorthodox method: She allows him to die, then resurrects him. Because of his brush with death, Quvas finally comes to terms with his son’s death. Later that night, Savrin goes to thank the vixen, but she had already disappeared into the forest.

Diane, Abbie, and Zephyr survive the leap from the prison tower into the river. Diane and Zephyr promptly resume their bickering. The three find a log and peacefully float down the river, lulling Diane to sleep; she has a dream of her beloved father disappearing into a bright light. Shortly afterwards, the log washes up on the shore. Zephyr roughly retrieves his blade from Diane; after a jibe from Abbie he threatens to turn the blade on him. Due to this, Abbie promptly kicks Zephyr out of the group.

Yuira meets with Inavara, who apparently plotted with Yuira so the two could gain power in their respective groups.

===The Brothers' Feud – Part 1===
Zephyr is resting on a branch when a figure cloaked in shadow knocks him out of the tree. After a short battle, the figure uses a confinement stone to seal Zephyr’s firewolf form and then reveals himself to be Gera, Zephyr’s godfather. He also informs the feisty firewolf that his brother, who he thought was dead, was in fact very much alive. Zephyr learns that he cannot return to his tribe because Inavara erased any trace of him from their memories.

Abbie and Diane wake up early in the morning, just in time to hear the cry of a Tai’far pursing them. When confronted by the Tai’far, Abbie takes it upon himself to defend Diane. One attempts to kill Diane, but Inavara cuts it down in mid-leap, reminding the Tai’far that he wanted the pair alive. As Inavara threatens Diane to divulge Zephyr’s location, Zephyr solves that problem by appearing to confront his brother. When Inavara shifts to his firewolf form, Zephyr finds himself unable to do the same due to Gera’s confinement stone. Thus, what appears to be a David vs. Goliath battle commences.

During a nightmare about his past, Savrin suddenly awakes in a strange realm. A spirit informs him that it brought him into this realm to comfort him, as the spirit had overheard Savrin’s nightmare. Then the spirit sends Savrin back into his body, but its parting words strike Savrin as particularly odd… what did it mean by “You hold my only safety?” Something Quvas says triggers an enraged magical reaction from Savrin and he falls unconscious, so Quvas decides to go back to the camp to find out what exactly is wrong with him. The spirit drags Savrin back into the other realm. The spirit finally shows herself, taking a canine form. She tells Savrin that whoever has the sword (the sword Savrin had stolen from Vandabar before he ran away) is her keeper.

===The Brothers’ Feud – Part 2===
As Diane and Abbie run away from the battle, they encounter Quvas and Savrin. After the cheerful reunion, Diane speedily returns to her argumentative ways with the furmential. Savrin notices a couple of bright flashes emanating from the clearing where Zephyr and Inavara were fighting and flies over to help, but he distracts Zephyr, giving Inavara an opportunity to knock him out. By now, Inavara has reverted to his lower form. Zephyr recovers in time to return the favor. Savrin creates a smoke cloud to facilitate a hasty escape. They do not get far before Inavara finds the pair and knocks Savrin out. As falls down towards the river, Zephyr uses an airshell necklace to allow him and Savrin to breathe underwater. Abbie, Diane, and Quvas rush over to where Savrin and Zephyr fell into the water, only to see Inavara about to flush them out with fire. Inavara flies off after a tense standoff with Quvas. Abbie pulls the two firewolves ashore. As the group leaves, Inavara spies on them, with a few silent parting words for his brother.

===Xasalas===
In the world of Talla’doon, Xasalas is the weeklong holiday at the end of the year celebrating peace and unity, where everyone tosses aside their differences. Abbie walks through the snow until he runs into Diane, who had been caught stealing some fruit. Hiding Diane in the snow, Abbie led her pursuer in the wrong direction. Abbie and Diane then head to the cave where Zephyr and Savrin were waiting. The mere mention of Xasalas stirs up some old memories of Savrin’s past. Stomping outside into the snow, Savrin remembers the last time he had celebrated Xasalas, before the taxes became so high that Vandabar could not afford presents. An avalanche catches Savrin off-guard, but he emerges unscathed. A light-fly named Eoira leads him to a Xasalas party, where all of the magical folk can frolic. Savrin awakes to Diane and Zephyr. Was his Xasalas experience just a dream? Zephyr discloses that he had a similar experience years ago, something only those of magic could experience.

===Sleepers===
In the present, Tyler and another human meet with Fu and present him a charcoal rubbing of the massive boulder. Fu throws away the rubbing when he realizes it is a fake. Tyler’s partner had been continually aggravating Fu with his angry comments, eventually drawing the wrath of the faffur. Fu sends Tyler off to the college to get a copy of the map from the leader of the excavation.

Returning to the past, Diane and Savrin resume arguing and Abbie finally reveals that he had been acting stupid all along simply to build Diane’s self esteem. The three finally get around to making formal introductions. Abbie tells Savrin that he is adopted, and Savrin informs the others that he was abandoned as a baby and is a human/firewolf hybrid. Savrin has another angry reaction when Abbie mentions the Great Slaughter, forcing Abbie to knock him out with a blow to the head.

The spirit in the sword draws both Zephyr and Savrin into the spirit realm. Savrin decides to call her “Kira” as opposed to the gibberish that is her real name. Kira tells the two firewolves to seek out the elf Erior and they awake shortly afterwards.

Without warning, Zephyr and Savrin fly off. As it turns out, they flew off due to an encroaching band of thieves: The Red Claw. Abbie manages to kill one before they all attack the heroes. Quvas and Abbie fend them off for a short while before Savrin and Zephyr leap into action, driving the thieves off after Zephyr handily dispatched their leader. The gang stumbles upon the apparently abandoned Wildtra village. While exploring the village, Zephyr and Savrin discover a little Wildtra girl. Zephyr almost attacks the girl, but Savrin stops him just in time. The little girl is Tara, daughter of the Wildtra chief and Quvas’ “niece.” Apparently when the Tai’far had attacked a couple of days before, they had put everyone into a deep sleep with their powder.

===Warrior's Vendetta===
A black musteline faffur approaches Inavara in the forest, claiming he knows where Zephyr and the gang have gone. A tense truce is reached as the two trek towards the Wildtra village.

Everyone in the village has fallen into a deep sleep except little Tara. Savrin, Zephyr, Diane, and Abbie head over to the bath-hut, for they haven’t washed in days. Diane is the first to sample the wonders of the bath-hut, until Zephyr accidentally wanders into her room. Outside the village, the musteline and Inavara make their stealthy entrance. The ferret trips Zephyr, taking the opportunity to compare the feather he carried around with him to the feathers on Zephyr’s back: An exact match. The ferret lays down the challenge and a swordfight commences. The battle turns into a fistfight after they abandon their swords in the wall. While Abbie throws a dirt clod at the ferret, Quvas sneaks up from behind and delivers a hard knock to the back of the head.

When he awakens, Sable Flame (for that is his name) states that he is out to exact revenge upon his father’s killer. The only evidence of the horrendous crime had been a single feather, apparently one of Zephyr’s. Diane postulates that Zephyr was framed. Regardless, Zephyr becomes so enraged that Abbie and Quvas dump him in a bathtub to cool off. He emerges in a robe which he immediately complains about. Abbie takes matters into his own hands, yanking Zephyr’s wing until he quiets down. Next, Sable turns his attention to Savrin, managing to irk him as well. Inavara waits outside, overhearing the conversation in its entirety. Everyone leaves the room except for Tara and Sable. Sable privately reveals to Tara that he believes that Zephyr was framed. Savrin has yet another nightmare, this time about being attacked by Inavara in firewolf form.

In the morning, Quvas unties Sable and lets him go, but not before Tara drags him back to say his goodbyes. Inavara accosts Sable in the forest, but Sable simply sprays something in his face and runs off. Later, Inavara ambushes Sable again, but this time a sword battle ensues. Sable coats his blade with a sleep-inducing herb he was collecting earlier, effectively knocking out Inavara for the next hour. Sable saunters off into the distance and Inavara flies off into the sky when he awakes.

===Inner Demons – Part 1===
Zephyr quickly returns to his teasing ways after Savrin drops a bucket of water. Savrin grabs his shirt and yells at him before collapsing. His voice quite oddly changes as well as his eyes, which become a deep shade of red. Savrin definitely does not appear to be himself, as he promptly threatens Zephyr, both physically and verbally. His magic is considerably stronger, as he almost incinerates Diane, but she ducks. He would have killed Zephyr had it not been for Quvas’ interference. Quvas quickly realizes that this was not Savrin. The spirit possessing him calls itself “Yuumei.” “This is my body now,” he claims. Abbie once again leaped into action, putting Savrin/Yuumei in a sleeper hold, taking him out for the moment. A blue mist emanates from Savrin and he apparently returns to normal.

In another location, a blind wanderer asks for directions. But when two ruffians attack him, he handily takes them out. One of them gets up and tries to attack him again, but the wanderer casts a spell that shows him two possible futures and warns him to choose his actions wisely.

===Inner Demons – Part 2===
Savrin awakes with no recollection of his transformation. Abbie had suffered some injuries during the fight, and was recovering as well. Being a furmential, Savrin is good to go while Abbie is still unconscious. The others do not mention what had happened earlier that day when Savrin joins them for dinner. Afterwards, when Zephyr and Savrin meditate, Savrin notices something odd occur. Zephyr reveals that he had performed a firewolf bonding ritual, one that linked their magical energies together. The resulting conversation awakens a disgruntled Abbie. Quvas recommends another day of rest, which everyone takes gladly.

The next morning, everyone awakens feeling refreshed. Quvas stays behind to watch over the sleeping populace while Diane, Abbie, Savrin, and Zephyr venture forth in search of a cure. While Diane and Zephyr argue again, Savrin wonders why he and Abbie had been injured. Something spooks the hoofra (their term for an equine animal), who throws Abbie onto the floor and sends the cart crashing into a ditch. A group of Tai’far assassins approach and Yuumei possesses Savrin once again. He reduces three of them to ashes and the last one runs away. But before Yuumei can turn on Zephyr, Savrin regains control of his body. The hoofra returns to Quvas, who starts fearing for Diane’s safety.

In another section of the forest, the leader of the Red Claw, Uito, curses Zephyr and promises revenge. Inavara appears, fire blasts the leader, and hurries off, muttering about how he had to “amuse myself with lesser beings.” A canine stranger remarks on Inavara’s talents as he walks by; Inavara demands to know who the stranger is.

===Inner Demons – Part 3===
After noticing the remains of the cart strewn all over the side of the road, Savrin gives up hope of finding a cure for the sleepers until Zephyr yells some sense into him. Savrin, Abbie, Diane, and Zephyr make a pact to stay together no matter what. Continuing on their trek, Diane refuses to walk past a pole with a strange carving on it and gets into an argument with Abbie over it. Yuumei for the third time possesses Savrin and tells everyone to be quiet. It seems that the carving on the pole causes anger in people and devours them and their emotions. Yuumei reveals that he had been lying dormant within Savrin since he was born. While Yuumei and the carving converse in the language of the spirits, Abbie, Diane, and Zephyr begin arguing again, only feeding the carving. Yuumei attempts to burn the carving, but to no avail. The statue retaliates with an energy blast to Yuumei’s back. Zephyr attempts to burn the statue with equally ineffective results. Yuumei gets up and tries again, succeeding this time. He promptly falls unconscious and Kira brings Savrin into the spirit realm. In the land of the conscious, Zephyr tells Abbie and Diane of Kira’s existence. Naturally, they think he is insane. When Savrin awakes, Zephyr throttles him when he denies the presence of Kira in his sword. Abbie truly believes that Zephyr had gone crazy and slaps him silly.

At sunset, the group reaches the resting house of a Dr. Simeon. Zephyr rests comfortably while Abbie disregards all of Savrin’s questions about what happened with the carving. Savrin has yet another odd dream, dragged into the spirit realm by Yuumei. Savrin looks into a mirror and is shocked to see Yuumei leap out of the mirror in Savrin’s form. Savrin awakes screaming. He manages to reassure himself that it was only a dream… until he heard Yuumei’s voice. Shortly afterward every other character without exception became possessed by a similar inner demon. The reason was never fully discovered, but the most widely accepted theory is that everyone was just that much of an attention whore.

===Against the Sides===
Professor Fetch has just finished teaching a class in the present. Tyler tries to get his attention (as part of Fu’s mission), but he just misses Fetch; Tyler dejectedly leaves the college. Jaster appears and drags him off to a meeting with Cavecor. Along the way, Tyler bumps into Palen. Cavecor asks Tyler about the “New Twilight Magic Team.” When Tyler comes up with nothing, Cavecor nearly kills him for neglecting his duties. But the Shadow Dark takes control of him and he gives orders to both Tyler and Jaster.

Cavecor flashes back to three decades ago, when he was just a fledgling member of the Twilight Magic Team. Frustrated by his inability to control his element, Cavecor angrily leaves the training center. He enters a tent in the local carnival and the mysterious blind wanderer from the end of the “Inner Demons – Part One” arc is sitting at the table. He warns Cavecor to refuse the ancient power that will allow him to vanquish the Twilight Magic Team, but Cavecor cockily refuses the advice. The Shadow Dark (in his faffur form – a black horse) approaches the Time Guardian and demands that he tells him the future. The Guardian refuses and the Shadow Dark attacks. It is unknown as to how this battle turned out.

Back in the presence, Cavecor realizes the folly of his deeds, but it is too late to change it. Jaster calls up a shadowy assassin and tells him to eliminate Fu, as per the Shadow Dark’s orders. The assassin’s enigmatic thoughts (“It’ll be like a family reunion”) suggests that the assassin is somehow related to Fu.

Katina enters Taxwin’s apartment, only to find him moodily sulking, pondering revenge for his dear Lilly. Katina proposes that Taxwin return to Vandabar and Taxwin finally agrees. While they walk through a park, a trio of punks accosts the two. While Taxwin momentarily holds off the three, Katina uses her water powers, but all it does is further enrage them. Vandabar senses Katina using her magic and sets off to assist her. Out of nowhere, Palen appears and kills the three. Taxwin recognizes Palen as the one who killed Lilly. Palen quickly takes him out, but she runs off upon Vandabar’s arrival. After they leave, one of the punks - a female bat - is actually alive. Palen sneaks into Taxwin’s room and stabs a picture of him, an act of symbolism.

===Brave New World===
the story goes back to the beging of time and shows three unamed gods and shows how the changed mortals into guardians and set them the task of keeping the universe safe. they are introduced as they gather together. Nature, Time, Death, Life and a unpercificed one (possibley Youth judging on his actions). the five guardains come together and combine there powers to create a new world. we slip into Dianes dreams. she dreams herself as a young child and a shadow vioce offers for them to 'play with fire'. she wakes up with a jolt and when she confesses the dream to Abbie he firmly tells her to forget about it.

Lacunae, the Book of Missing Spaces

2008-10-26T10:56:58Z

DJ Pirtu: Has not been updated for 2 yeas. (Neither the comic nor the wiki)

'''''Lacunae, the Book of Missing Spaces''''' (usually just '''''Lacunae''''') is a [[furry]] [[comic]] by [[artist]] [[Silverblue]] about a near-future post-disease Australia inhabited by both Changelings (the diseased) and Purebloods (the clean). The strip began on February 1st, 2002. There has not been a new update to the comic since 2006.

==About the comic==
From the blurb: "Lacunae is an anthropomorphic gothic-punk comic set in Melbourne, Australia. Years after the terrible Plague ravaged the land, twisted Changelings lurk amongst the populace, spreading infection and death. Mysticism and art meld into strange new forms, philosophy and prophesy equally vital for surviving the madness that the world has been plunged into."

==Storyline==
[[Image:lacunae_example.jpg|300px|thumb|right|An example of the art style in Lacunae]]

The comic centers around a group of antagonists ('''Crimson''''s Haemophage Pack) and protagonists (the '''Changeling Control Division''' of Saint Kilda). A third group, the owners and inhabitants of the Hotel Nevertel, appears to maintain a neutral stomping ground for a mixture of Changelings and Purebloods.

Crimson's pack are a group of blood drinking Changelings, called Haemophages, which are murderous and half mad. While not entirely evil, they often commit atrocious acts, unable to control their appetites. By comparison, the CCD is a highly controlled group of Purebloods and Changelings who work to try and bring peace to both Changeling and Pureblood communities. While there are chemical suppressants which can enable a Changeling to be non-infectious and suppress their darker sides, the drugs have painful and occasionally terminal side effects. The issue of how to humanely handle Changelings is a difficult one in the Lacunae world, and has been solved variously through execution, gulags, drug regimes, or counseling. At the moment, no clear solution is present.

So far, Hawthorn of the CCD has become involved with Silverblue of Crimson's pack, interfering in her attempt to 'rescue' an ex-pack member on suppressants who was in hospital dying of an aggressive cancer. Rather than allow her to 'infect' the dying patient again, Hawthorn shot her with a living bullet. Silverblue has since run into the Commeddia, strange mask wearing creatures who removed the burrowing bullet.

Lately, it appears that all the characters are having peculiar dreams, [http://lacunae.comicgenesis.com/d/20060719.html mostly traumatic]. Hawthorn and Silverblue both are of the opinion that they are being forcibly [http://lacunae.comicgenesis.com/d/20060809.html broadcast to], as if something is searching them for information.

Not recommended for a young audience, due to sexual and drug content.

==Major characters==
[[Image:lacunae_banner.jpg|right]]
'''Anaphora''' is a red panda, and a Mask on the way to becoming a full Changeling. A poet, he is in the process of changing.

'''Asagwe''' is a domestic cat, and one of those who runs Hotel Nevertel. He seems to suffer from a fairly serious skin disease which leads to the loss of his ears. He likes playing golf and investigating the luggage of his visitors.

'''Crimson''' is the leader of the largest pack of haemophages in Melbourne. Sadistic, intelligent, and highly precise, he is an exceptionally dangerous individual. He is a very tall, very slender jackal.

'''Hawthorn''' is a domestic cat, a telempath who is the current head of the Saint Kilda CCD. A fairly calm, reasoning individual.

'''Sean''' is a rabbit, a current member of the CCD. He was originally a 'freedom fighter' or 'terrorist' (depending on who you ask) in Ireland.

'''Shadow''' is a vixen, running Hotel Nevertel with Asagwe. She seems to wear prosthetic tails.

'''Silverblue''' is a haemophage rabbit. She is the beta in Crimson's pack, and the oldest current member. Somewhat disaffected, and easily depressed, she spends much of her time trying to avoid the rest of her pack.

==Minor characters==
'''Amaranth''' is a cipher spotted tail quoll, currently a punk working for the CCD. She has some issues regarding reconciling her Native nature and her Punk subculture.

'''Carnelian''' is a male haemophage civet, brother to Cerulean, and a member of Crimson's pack.

'''Cerulean''' is a female haemophage civet, sister to Carnelian, and a member of Crimson's pack.

'''Emerald''' is a fruitbat, Silverblue's adopted mother. She lives in a primitive colony.

'''George''' is a squirrel, a cipher and member of the CCD division. He has received a Valour in the Face of Fire award from the Australian Government.

'''The Hierophant''' is the current leader of the Masks in Melbourne, a plantigrade lion.

'''Isadore''' is a supposed ex-member of the Wired, a bat who is part of the Hotel Nevertel staff. However, Asagwe and Shadow both appear to use her communication abilities, which should be defunct.

'''Justin''' is a wild dog anthro, one of the organisers of DecaDance, a well known local goth club in Melbourne. He tends to host the poetry nights.

'''Lydia''' is a cipher dalmatian, the office organiser for the Saint Kilda CCD. She pays everyone's wages, and appears to be a lucid dreamer.

'''Ming''' is a cipher birman cat, an ex-refugee from Myanmar and currently works at the CCD.

'''Rust''' is a plantigrade haemophage hare, a member of Crimson's pack. The omega in the pack, he tends to suffer a little as the others bully him.

'''DJ Pirtu''' ('''Ville Pirttimäki'''; born 1984) is a [[:Category:Finland|Finnish]] [[furry artist]] whose [[fursona]] is a black and white [[cat]]. His name derives from ''pirtu'', a Finnish word referring to a liquid with high concentration (95-96 vol-%<ref name="pirtu">[http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirtu Finnish Wikipedia article] on ''pirtu''</ref>) of [[Wikipedia:ethanol|ethanol]].

DJ Pirtu is a long-time fan of the webcomic ''[[Jack]]''.

== Lumus ==
More often than not, while [[role-playing]], DJ Pirtu adopts the character of '''Lumus''', who is either a [[human]] or a light brown [[feline]] character, with red stripes and hair. He is consistently a weaponsmith or something equivalent, always smiling and often possessing crossed eyes. His mental stability is often questionable.

In [[Talla'doon MUCK]], Lumus was a [[werecat]]. As a weaponsmith character, he was soon promoted as a builder, to provide the players with their original and often bizzare weapons. Later on, not too long before the death of the MUCK, he was promoted to moderator.

== Convention attendance ==
DJ Pirtu has attended several [[convention]]s, including:

{{Cleanup}}
[[Image:Timothy-Albee.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Timothy Albee, Creator of Kaze, Ghost Warrior, and the CGI character animator for the Re-imagined series of Battlestar Galactica.]]
'''Timothy Albee''', also known as '''Dreamcatcher''', is the sole creator (director, writer, animator, musician and voice actor) of [[Kaze: Ghost Warrior]], which he accomplished in six months on two consumer-grade computers that, combined with software, totaled less than $5,000. He wrote and published a book to detail exactly how he accomplished this, so that others might do the same thing. He runs his own animation studio, [[Timothy Albee Animation]] and is also a co-founder of [[Northern Lights Animation]].

His fursona, Dreamcatcher, is an androgynous cheetah/wolf hybrid.

In addition to his [http://ta-animation.com/ Timothy Albee Animation website], his [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TA_FineArt TA_FineArt Yahoo group] and other professional sites, Timothy maintains a [[Yerf]] [http://yerf.com/uploads/albetimo account] for his furry art.

Timothy Albee was a [[guest of honor]] at [[Eurofurence 10]] (2004) and at [[Anthrocon 2005]]. He was also a VIP at [[RBW]] 2007 in London, UK.

==Biography==

Timothy was born in [[Wikipedia:Michigan|Michigan]] and raised in a very small farming community. He bought his first computer when he was 10 years old (Tandy TRS-80 Color Computer). He started college at a state university and then went to CCS in [[Wikipedia:Detroit|Detroit]], leaving college shortly because of disappointment with the faculty's inability to teach him what he wanted to learn. He apprenticed to a flute-master in [[Wikipedia:Virginia|Virginia]] for a while, learning to make bamboo flutes, then traveled the Renaissance Faire circuit where he worked as a bard, juggler, slight-of-hand artist, "martial-arts juggler," swordsman and various and sundry other very odd jobs.

He wound up in [[Wikipedia:California|California]] in 1991, working as a professional musician focusing mainly on folk and classical harp. He was hired to do sound-production for a small music label where he was first exposed to the Video Toaster. After a few years in "Cali," he took a sabbatical, returning to Michigan to finish his degree.

He started working for a company to which [[Wikipedia:Disney Interactive|Disney Interactive]] was outsourcing its Animated Storybooks, and got back into animation. Then he went back to California to be lead animator on [[Wikipedia:Activision|Activision]]'s ''[[Wikipedia:Apocalypse|Apocalypse]]''. He then went on to work on ''[[Wikipedia:Babylon 5|Babylon 5]],'' and then to [[Wikipedia:Walt Disney Feature Animation|Walt Disney Feature Animation]] to work on [[Wikipedia:Dinosaur (film)|Dinosaur]]. After his tenure at WDFA was up, he formed "Exile Films," which was rolled-into "Studio Mythos" when offshore investors took over, leading the studio in a completely contrary direction. Securing the company a gig to fulfill his obligations, he left everything associated with Mythos and drove north.

Timothy is a participant in the [[furry fandom]], and [[Kaze: Ghost Warrior]] is shown at many [[furry conventions]]. He was also once engaged to [[2|2 the Ranting Gryphon]], and is currently in a dedicated, long-term relationship with [[Jessie T. Wolf]].

==Quotes==
"''You succeed, not 'in spite' of the risks you take, but because of them.''"

"''Every day is an opportunity to Live your Truths. Hold onto them, hold them dear to you, (and allow others to do the same with their own,) — they the 'doorway' through which you can make what you Believe in your Heart, what you Experience in 'Reality.''"

==[[:Category:Animation|Animation]] and [[:Category:Movies|Movie]] Projects==
Timothy has the following projects in progress:

* [[Kaze (prequel feature)]]
* [[Kaze: Ghost Warrior (series)]] ([[Kaze: Ghost Warrior|Pilot]] already released)
* [[Wolfpack]] (in development)
* [[Freeborn]]

'''DJ Pirtu''' ('''Ville Pirttimäki'''; born 1984) is a [[:Category:Finland|Finnish]] [[furry artist]] whose [[fursona]] is a black and white [[cat]]. His name derives from ''pirtu'', a Finnish word referring to a liquid with high concentration (95-96 vol-%<ref name="pirtu">[http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirtu Finnish Wikipedia article] on ''pirtu''</ref>) of [[Wikipedia:ethanol|ethanol]].

DJ Pirtu is a long-time fan of the webcomic ''[[Jack]]''.

== Lumus ==
More often than not, while [[role-playing]], DJ Pirtu adopts the character of '''Lumus''', who is either a [[human]] or a light brown [[feline]] character, with red stripes and hair. He is consistently a weaponsmith or something equivalent, always smiling and often possessing crossed eyes. His mental stability is often questionable.

In [[Talla'doon MUCK]], Lumus was a [[werecat]]. As a weaponsmith character, he was soon promoted as a builder, to provide the players with their original and often bizzare weapons. Later on, not too long before the death of the MUCK, he was promoted to moderator.

'''FurBid-SF''' is an active online venue for people to sell and purchase [[Science Fiction]], [[Fantasy]] and [[anthropomorphic]] items such as [[furry art|artwork]], [[:Category:Comics|comic books]], [[clothing]], and [[fursuit]]s. It has been through many changes, but has survived to be the most known and stable site of its kind.

==History==
==== Aatheus's period ====

In late 1999, a young college student, Aatheus, built a tiny online auction service as part of an experiment. Using the quite buggy [[wikipedia:EveryAuction|EveryAuction]] 1.01 program, he designed '''FurBid''', the first all-[[furry]] online auction site of its kind. The original purpose was to create a working server environment. His decision to build it around furry was more a matter of taste than it was an attempt to fill a gap in the community. The creation itself was relatively uneventful and on November 8, 1999 FurBid officially opened.

Shortly after opening it was seen by [[The Dragon De Monsyne]] at [http://www.transform.to/ Transform.to], who offered Aatheus hosting space. On November 18, 1999 FurBid was moved to its new host (furrybid.transform.to), where it remained until January 27, 2001 when it was moved to Ezzi Net at the suggestion of [[Gushi]].

During that time FurBid suffered from many internal problems, including great deal of downtime caused by outside sources. Some of the many problems faced included script glitches, hard drive problems, a December 26, 2000 [[wikipedia:Denial-of-service_attack|DoS]] prompted by [[Somethingawful]] listing FurBid in its "Awful Site of the Day", and file corruption.

Perhaps the most significant problem was the announcement by Aatheus on December 9, 2000 of the acquisition of furbid.com and loss of the domain to [[Ragscoon]] of [[FurSale]] who stole it out from under Aatheus due to personal issues between the two and offered to sell it to him on January 20, 2001 for the price of $500.00. This event led to a long time rivalry between FurBid and FurSale.{{fact}}

Another significant issue was a complete crash in the summer of 2003 which brought the system down for over a month.

==== Ayukawataur's period ====

At [[Further Confusion 2003]], Aatheus mentioned to [[Ayukawataur]] his desire to find another administrator to take over FurBid. During this time she was experimenting with the EveryAuction software on her own pet project (the-abcb cafe). Her initial response was quite negative, claiming "You could not pay me enough to take over that [[Wikipedia:Kludge|kludge]]".

Aatheus continued his search amongst others he felt would be qualified until he again returned to Ayukawataur just shortly before Further Confusion 2004. They agreed to discuss the issue and at the con he revealed to her in private that he had not found an admin to take over and as such FurBid would be shut down in the summer when he left to pursue more college. She agreed to consider the problem.

After a lunch and gallery browsing meeting in Carmel by the Sea in Northern California, Ayukawataur agreed to take over the administration of FurBid. In February of 2004 she was appointed as Assistant Administrator. Despite her title she was acting the role of Admin. and was using the name Assistant Admin to give the community time to adjust to her presence.

This was not without its share of problems as many members of the community disagreed with her appointment. The drama which took place lasted quite some time and was mostly built around her being involved with a prominent furry artist [[Kacey Miyagami]] and claims that a conflict of interest would develop. This has not occurred.

It was revealed she was the administrator in late May of 2004, shortly after the revamp of the Discussion Board with a database driven system. Other projects she worked on during that time were a creation of a FAQ, tightening of rules and the ToS, a mascot contest, and a radical departure from the previous stances on [[bestiality]] and [[pedophilia]].

In May of 2005 she retired the old EveryAuction system and replaced it with a modern and more efficient [[wikipedia:mySQL|mySQL]] server which she dubbed ''FurBid-SF''. The SF representing ScienceFiction/Fantasy in an attempt to expand the awareness of FurBid users to other genres.<br>
The opening of FurBid-SF was also not entirely smooth. There were numerous rewrites which took place over the period of many months after launch. To better streamline the code she drafted the skills of [[Ch'marr]] and Gushi. During this time she also moved the server from its residence at Ezzi Net to be one of the early systems in Gushi's Colo in Jersey.

Part of her plan included the first successful implementation of associated fees for any of the furry auction houses.

On November 13, 2007, Ayukawataur announced appointing [[Gushi]] as a new Assistant Administrator. His duties include primarily programming and debugging.

==Fees==
There was a great deal of controversy when Ayukawataur announced that FurBid-SF was including paid features. Though minor, many claimed it was unfair, or that she was nothing more than a money hungry tyrant. Over time these claims have subsided and the fee structure has become an accepted function by the majority of the community.

The purpose of these fees was to provide a symbiotic relationship with those who wished to provide support with FurBid-SF's substantial bill. As a reward for this support a user could have better placement or better visibility. It also provided better accounting records for the IRS than just having donations.

According to the Administaur, the basic functions of FurBid-SF, which include listing, bidding, and buying, shall forever remain free to all users. It is only the additional items which will ever have an associated investment.

For a detailed breakdown of the minor charges which are associated with FurBid-SF, refer to http://www.furbid.ws/cgi-bin/auction/fees.pl

The Administaur of FurBid-SF has constantly fought with PayPal for the right to allow her community to use it for paying their FurBid-SF fees. To date she has been unsuccessful in convincing them that paying for an auction service is not the same as purchasing adult oriented items.

==Current status==
As of late August 2006, FurBid-SF has 12,299 unique registered users. This number grows at a steady rate of an average of around thirty a week. At any given time there are between 900 and 1100 auctions open. Of almost 21,000 auctions listed, almost 18,100 successfully closed with bids.

==Mascots==
[[Image:Breeze_skunktaur_version_ii.jpg|right|thumbnail|150px|Breeze Skunktaur]]
Toward the end of 2001, Aatheus proposed a contest for a Furbid Mascot. The idea was well received, generating five major participants and a total of 501 votes. On January 1, 2002 Aatheus tallied all the votes and gave us all a list of things. The winner was [[Caribou]] with her creation Sheckles the Bat with a total of 161 votes. Runner up was [[Kacey Maltzman]] with her character Breeze the Spotted Skunktaur with 122 votes. [[Flinthoof]] created Jake and earned 102 votes, [[Iron Badger]] submitted Fiona with 61 votes and Silverwyvern created Tyler bringing in 55 votes.<ref>[http://www.furbid.ws/mascot.html] FurBid Mascot Contest Guidelines</ref>

Shortly after Sheckles fell to the wayside due many previous commitments of his creator, and in Sheckles' place Kacey created some images that were used on official Furbid merchandise.

On June 17, 2004, Ayukawataur reopened the idea of a mascot for FurBid-SF, or, to be more precise, as FurBid-SF is a community, a group of mascots. Of the many mascot ideas submitted, five were selected by community vote on August 15, 2004. Breeze returned, this time to take the greatest portion of votes (62.04%), followed by Rachele, Faria, Keesa, and Seru.<ref>[http://www.furbid.ws/cgi-bin/furboard/ikonboard.cgi?s=140b4f7d88df05fdc111d523510a017c;act=ST;f=1;t=10] Official Mascot Results</ref>

Although the mascots were originally intended to maintain a presence on FurBid-SF itself and to provide a measure of community spirit, the only work using them so far has been by Kacey Miyagami.

Breeze currently graces the Discussion Board banner and the FurBid-SF main banner.

==Conventions==
FurBid-SF has no convention presence. The Administaur prefers FurBid-SF gain new members through word of mouth.

At [[Anthrocon 2004]], [[Jurann]], the administrator of [[FurBuy]], approached Ayukawataur with an offer of $50,000 (initially $1,000) "for the rights and ownership to Furbid" to shut down FurBid-SF.<ref>[http://jurann.livejournal.com/65714.html Con Report]. July 13, 2004 [[LiveJournal]] post by [[Jurann]]. Retrieved September 8, 2006.</ref> <ref>[http://www.furbid.ws/cgi-bin/furboard/ikonboard.cgi?s=d8c0f1ff946b26ab8eb4151d4097bb18;act=ST;f=3;t=36; The Anthrocon Report]. July 13, 2004 FurBid-SF Discussion Board post by [[Ayukawataur]]. Retrieved September 8, 2006. May require login.</ref> She declined, claiming that it was the right of the community to decide which service they wanted to use.

==Bans==

The Administaur has constantly rejected pressure by a small portion of the community to ban non-synthetic animal fur from FurBid-SF.

Only four persons have been permanently banned from using FurBid-SF. <ref>[http://ayukawataur.livejournal.com/37300.html bans=bans+1] [[LiveJournal]] post by [[Ayukawataur]].</ref>
Of these four, only [[Mozdoc]] has had his ban lifted and then reinstated.<ref>[http://ayukawataur.livejournal.com/59999.html mr. mozdoc] [[LiveJournal]] post by [[Ayukawataur]].</ref><ref>[http://ayukawataur.livejournal.com/64078.html mozdoc reloaded] [[LiveJournal]] post by [[Ayukawataur]].</ref>

'''DJ Pirtu''' ('''Ville Pirttimäki'''; born 1984) is a [[:Category:Finland|Finnish]] [[furry artist]] whose [[fursona]] is a black and white [[cat]]. His name derives from ''pirtu'', a Finnish word referring to a liquid with high consentration (95-96 vol-%<ref name="pirtu">[http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirtu Finnish Wikipedia article] on ''pirtu''</ref>) of [[Wikipedia:ethanol|ethanol]].

DJ Pirtu is a long-time fan of the webcomic ''[[Jack]]''.

More often than not, while [[role-playing]], DJ Pirtu adopts the character of '''Lumus''', who is either a [[human]] or a light brown [[feline]] character, with red stripes and hair. He is consistently a weaponsmith or something equivalent, always smiling and often possessing crossed eyes. His mental stability is often questionable.

In [[Talla'doon MUCK]], Lumus was a [[werecat]]. As a weaponsmith character, he was soon promoted as a builder, to provide the players with their original and often bizzare weapons. Later on, not too long before the death of the MUCK, he was promoted to moderator.

Bloody Roar

2007-12-08T22:34:38Z

DJ Pirtu: Imported from Wikipedia with a few editions

'''''Bloody Roar''''' (ブラッディロア) is a series of fighting games created by Hudson Soft, and developed together with Eighting. The series has been published by multiple companies, including, Virgin Interactive, Activision and Konami.

==Information==
The series began as an Arcade game in 1997 under the name '''''[[Beastorizer]]'''''. The game's theme incorporated anthropomorphism, where the player has the ability to transform into a half-human, half-animal creature known as a ''Zoanthrope'' (The name came from the clincal term, '[[zoanthropy]]', which is similar to that of [[lycanthropy]], but not just with the mind-set of a wolf) . The game would appear [under the name "'''''Bloody Roar'''''" when ported to the PlayStation in 1998, which would become the permanent title thereafter. There are three ''Bloody Roar'' sequels, plus two updated ports of the third game to the Nintendo GameCube and Xbox.

The following is a complete list of the games in the series:

{| class="wikitable"
|- align="left"
!width="15%"| Title
!width="4%"| Year
!width="15%"| Platforms
|-
| ''[[Beastorizer]]''
| 1997
| Arcade
|-
| ''[[Bloody Roar 1]]''
| 1997/1998
| PlayStation
|-
| ''[[Bloody Roar 2]]: The New Breed/Bringer of the New Age''
| 1999
| PlayStation
|-
| ''[[Bloody Roar 3]]''
| 2001
| PlayStation 2
|-
| ''[[Bloody Roar: Primal Fury]]''
| 2002
| Nintendo GameCube
|-
| ''[[Bloody Roar Extreme]]''
| 2003
| Microsoft Xbox
|-
| ''[[Bloody Roar 4]]''
| 2003/2004
| PlayStation 2
|}

[[Bloody Roar: Primal Fury]] added [[Anime]] opening and endings, 2 new characters and updated and new stages, among other things. [[Bloody Roar Extreme]] also updated the graphic engine, replaced the openings and endings with [[CGI]] animation and added a secret bonus character, [[Fang]]. (He was also present in the Japanice version of [[Bloody Roar: Primal Fury]], but not in the Western releases.)

==Gameplay==
'''Bloody Roar''' has kept somewhat the same controls over the series. A button each for both punch and kick, the beast (transform/attack) button and a fourth button that has been either a throw button, a block button, an evade button (Introduced for some characters in ''Bloody Roar 4'') and a rave button (An early version of the hyper beast in ''Bloody Roar 1'' only)

The games play very similarly to the Tekken series of fighting games, and Bloody Roar has certain advantages and disadvantages compared to the more popular Tekken games. While Bloody Roar offers a far superior experience in terms of smoothness and speed of gameplay, each character has only a relatively small and completely unchanging move list, lacking the kind of combination strings or similar variety one finds in nearly every other fighting game series.

This greatly limits the style of play one can adopt with each character; the best ways to play a certain character, which in other fighting games might take study and practice to figure out, are readily apparent in the Bloody Roar series and do not change across the games.

==Other Media==
Bloody Roar was adapted into a [[manga]] drawn by Maruyama Tomowo. It was originally published in [[Shonen Jump]]. A few themes were used from the games but the scenarios and characters in Maruyama's version were completely new, though a few of his characters looked a lot like the original game characters. The main stars of the manga were a loner wolf zoanthrope, [[Fang]] and a rabbit girl named Mashiro. Their adventures had them fighting out of control beast men and trying to stop an evil creature being released by the gathering of talismans. The manga was released in two volumes during 2001.

In the first three games, artwork by [[Artist]] Naochika Morishita, also known as CARAMEL MAMA, was used for concept artwork and in game cut scenes.

2, The Ranting Gryphon

2007-12-08T21:28:08Z

DJ Pirtu: Fixed a link

[[Image:2 and Uncle Kage at FWA 2007.jpg|right|thumb|275px|2 the Ranting Gryphon (left) and [[Uncle Kage]] at [[Furry Weekend Atlanta]] 2007]]
'''Matthew Davis''', also known as '''2, The Ranting Gryphon''', is a professional comedian who performs mainly at [[science fiction|sci-fi]] and [[furry fandom|furry]] [[conventions]].

2 also performs and records audio 'rants', and hosted an Internet radio show called [[2 Sense]] which ran for 87 mostly-weekly episodes, up to two hours in length, before being discontinued due to time and work constraints on July 2nd, 2005, at the peak of its popularity. [http://www.ranting-gryphon.com/2sense.htm 2 Sense 2.0] debuted on November 12, 2006.

Born in August 1972, 2 has been a performer for most of his life. He began as a [[Wikipedia:Rock and roll|rock]] guitarist in the [[Wikipedia:1980s|1980's]]. He then ventured into the sci-fi and [[fantasy]] fields, doing comedy events at conventions during the [[Wikipedia:1990s|1990's]].

A member of the furry fandom, he has a [[gryphon]] [[fursona]]. His name allegedly came to him in a dream about the creature. He regularly attends [[furry conventions]] and often performs [[Wikipedia:Stand-up comedy|stand up]] there. He has been the [[guest of honor]] at [[Califur 0]], [[Oklacon]] 2004, [[Rocket City FurMeet]] 2005, [[Feral!]] 2006 and [[Red Blue & White]] 2007. He is also currently on staff at [[Furry Weekend Atlanta]], [[Rocket City Furmeet]] and is co-chair of [[Furry Connection North]].

2 formerly resided in [[Wikipedia:Arkansas|Arkansas]], [[Wikipedia:United States|USA]], in a social collective of fellow furry fans/artists ("furs"), known as the [[NARFA|North Arkansas Regional Furry Association]] (NARFA). He now lives in [[Wikipedia:Ypsilanti, Michigan|Ypsilanti, Michigan]].

== The rants and music ==
[[Image:2-the-ranting-gryphon.jpg|right|thumb|200px|2's [[fursona]], as drawn by [[Jessie T. Wolf]]]]
2 ranted about many things during the early stages of his website. His rants were between 3-6 minutes long and normally focused on three areas. These areas are [[Wikipedia:religion|religions]] (rants about [[Wikipedia:holy wars|holy wars]], prayer, and [[Wikipedia:Christmas|Christmas]]), political issues (delving into such issues as [[Wikipedia:gay pride|gay pride]], hunting, guns, abortion, and the U. S. military), and the furry fandom itself. Rants on the latter are geared specifically to that community, and thus less accessible to those outside the fandom, and have dealt with [[Further Confusion]], [[Anthrocon]], [[furry artist|fur artists]] and "Muck Talk".

The rants were originally scripted and were released on average once every two months. Their main purpose was for 2 to spread his opinions.
His latest rants have dealt with [[Wikipedia:Intelligent design|intelligent design]], the [[Wikipedia:news media|news media]] and [[wikipedia:Justice|justice]]. He has also released his second outtake reel, and has moved on to producing his rants in video format, which he started posting to YouTube in March 2007.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMbKqtjv2vM 2, The Ranting Gryphon - Do Your Job!], rant uploaded 28 March 2007. Retrieved 9 Aug 2007.</ref>

Before the rants however, 2 created a lot of music. Some of the more popular songs include "Salvation" and "Jaunt". In the 1980s, 2 had originally hoped to become a rock artist, and still aspires to make music professionally.

2's rants were once [http://www.portalofevil.com/single.php?poeurlid=9727 featured] on the [[Portal of Evil]]. He responded by [http://www.werewolves.org/%7Etwo/Rants/2rant-portalofevil.mp3 posting a rant] about [[atrocity tourism]], which was subsequently subjected to a [http://www.crushyiffdestroy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1534 techno remixing] by Nick C, a member of [[Portal of Evil]].

In September 2007, the online edition of the German newspaper ''Süddeutsche Zeitung'' featured one of 2's video rants and an excerpt of his live performance at [[Eurofurence|Eurofurence 12]] in their ''Internet Video of the Week'' column, comparing his style of comedy with [[Wikipedia:Woody Allen|Woody Allen]] and [[Wikipedia:David Byrne (musician)|David Byrne]].<ref>[http://www.sueddeutsche.de/,ra4m5/kultur/artikel/927/133677/ ''Das Internetvideo der Woche''], Süddeutsche Zeitung, Online Edition 2007-09-20</ref>

2 also appeared in a parody of the Beastie Boys video Sabotage. The video was shot at [[Anthrocon]] 2004.

* ''[http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1138904607579338145 Sabotage Tribute]'' (video)

==LSD files==
2 has been making poetic audio files known as the Lucid Sonic Delusions. At present he has released two of them on his official website, with plans to release a whole new series as time goes on.

*[http://www.ranting-gryphon.com/Audio/LSD1.mp3 LSD1 File - The Hole]
*[http://www.ranting-gryphon.com/Audio/LSD2.mp3 LSD2 File - The Box]

It is thought that the files were named LSD Files because they give the same euphoric feel as the drug of the same name (though they have nothing to do with drugs). The files are in fact named Lucid Sonic Delusions; this may have been on purpose so that the initials would be LSD, but this has not been confirmed.

==Dear 2==
2 Gryphon is doing a short show (if it can indeed be considered a show) approximately 10 minutes long in which he answers letters sent in by (presumably) past 2 Sense listeners and fans of his website. The show is identical to the Dear 2 segment from 2 Sense with the exception of there being no co-host. This show has no actual release date and is released based on the amount of mail recieved and time restraints on 2 himself. Dear 2 is expected to end when 2 Sense 2.0 starts.

This new show can be downloaded as an MP3 file from

*[http://www.ranting-gryphon.com Official Website]

==DVDs==
[[Image:TT-largeRantingGryphonDVD.gif|right|thumb|DVD Cover for the second DVD "The Truth"]]
2 the Ranting Gryphon has released four DVDs and a CD since 2002. These are available to buy from 2's official website.

The first DVD, "Rolling A One", is a one hour long comedy show recorded live at Anthrocon in 2002.

The second DVD, "The Truth", is a one hour long comedy show recorded live at Anthrocon in 2003. It includes commentary from 2 and Lord Skandranon on one track, and a separate track consisting of 2, [[Lord Skandranon]], [[Skates]], and [[Krahnos]]. The DVD also includes the infamous "chocolate bunny death" video.

The third DVD, "The Gods Hate Me", is a one hour long comedy show recorded live at Anthrocon in 2004. Among the DVD's special features are a full length MST3K style commentary from 2, the DVD's creator Lord Skandranon and their friend [[Gir Tygrin]] (who in the video refers to himself as random other guy), some random bonus footage, and an explanation of the "beer shot" joke.

Plans for a fourth DVD, "Place Gryphon Here", were scrapped due to technical problems while recording the shows at [[Anthrocon 2005]] and [[Midwest FurFest 2005]]. Instead, an audio CD was released that contains audio from both. It replaces an earlier audio CD that has gone out of print.

A fourth DVD was eventually released, called "Live In Germany". This DVD is a one hour long comedy show recorded live at Eurofurence 12 in 2006.

== Trivia ==
2 is referred to in a [[Jack]] [http://pholph.com/index_a.php?Strip=949 comic short], in which a "ranting talent agent" whose species is a gryphon has a small '#2' written in over his head.
2 is also referenced twice in the online comic [[Loserz]] by [[Erik Schoenek]]<ref>http://bukucomics.com/loserz/index.php?comicID=265

Something I noticed while looking at [[:Category:DeviantART Wikifurries]]. The pages seems to list itself as its own subcategory, resulting into an infinite loop of subcategories.

And it isn't the only one eiter. I noticed the same thing in at least [[:Category:Anthrocon Wikifurries]] and [[:Category:Califur Wikifurries]].

Also, I feel that DeviantArt Wikifurries should propably be a subcategory of [[:Category:Wikifurries]]. As a very recent user, I did not feel confident enough to start fidding with the category pages, so I tought I'd just point it out here. --[[User:DJ Pirtu|DJ Pirtu]] 20:03, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

== Lumus ==
More often than not, while [[role-playing]], DJ Pirtu adopts the character of Lumus, who is either a [[human]] or a light brown [[feline]] character, with red stripes and hair. He has consistant characteristics of being a weaponsmit or something equavilent, always smiling and often posessing crossed eyes. His menta stability is also often questionable.

In [[Talla'doon MUCK]], Lumus was a were-cat. As a weaponsmit character, he was soon promoted as a builder, to provide the players with their original and often bizzare weapons. Later on, not too long before the death of the MUCK, he was promoted to moderator.

== Pirtu ==
The word ''pirtu'' is a finnish word refering to a liquid with high consentration (95-96 vol-%<ref name="pirtu">[http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirtu Finnish Wikipedia article] on ''pirtu''</ref>) of [[Wikipedia:ethanol|ethanol]].

Because of being a way to store large quantities of pure ethanol in small space, ''pirtu'' has been a very popular form in wich alcohol has been smuggled across borders. After arriving to it's destination, it has to be mixed with water or other liquids to make it safe to drink.
