== Characters ==

Roxikat character is a well-endowed [[anime fur|pink]] [[Wikipedia:shemale|shemale]] [[cat]], who has two completely different personas: "Good Roxi" and "Naughty Roxi." This is based on a joke in one of her adult folios of the same name, a parody of the [[Wikipedia:Goofus and Gallant|Goofus and Gallant]] cautionary comics from [[Wikipedia:Highlights for Children|''Highlights'' magazine]]. Roxikat has been in several comics and drawings, both penned by her creator and by others. The first piece of fan art was from [[Ken Sample]] in 1995 and may have jumpstarted the character's popularity.

John also has a [[role-play]] character from [[W:City of Villains|City of Villains]] named Trent Rudley who calls himself Smashwolf.<ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1357871/ Smashwolf from City of Villains - by Roxikat] uploaded 2008 June 5. Retrieved 2015 May 26.</ref>

John and some friends made a fursuit of a male [[Jackal (species)|jackal]][[horse]] character named Hossifer, loosely based on Jessroe Hossifer character<ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2447277/ Hossifer the Jackalhorse - by Roxikat] uploaded 2009 June 27. Retrieved 2015 July 9.</ref> in ''Game Boys Summer Special''.

=== Good Roxi ===

[[File:Roxi_ESG_manip_2009.jpg|200px|right|PhotoShopped Roxi at ESG 2009]]

Roxikat was intended to be sweet and playful, almost childlike in her innocence. In John's own work, Roxi speaks in the third person and punctuates many of her sentences with a [[feline]] 'myah' sound (mee-yeah in one syllable), which sounds like the Ryo-ohki cabbit in the Tenchi Muyo! series. From 1996-1999, Roxi appeared in the [[Furthest North Crew]] APAzine (later posted on his [[VCL]] page) in a Trekky spoof comic story called Roxikat's Myah. Here he created his closer-to-life fursona Johnnykat and had cameos of friends and other fanzine contributors.

This version of Roxikat appears in the [[webcomic]]s ''[[A Doemain Of Our Own]]'', ''[[Vinci and Arty]]'' and ''[[Misty the Mouse]]'' (as a background character). She's also had small cameos in ''[[Extinctioners]]'' and appears rarely on the [[Second Life]] virtual hangout as the character '''Roxikat Muse'''.

John has even [[fursuit]]ed as Roxikat at [[Anthrocon]] and at [[Further Confusion]], participating in the [[Masquerade]] in lip-sync acts and comedy shorts off-and-on for a decade. He made his first Roxikat fursuit in 1995 for [[ConFurence East]]. He later commissioned [[Scribblefox]] for a fursuit head with a working jaw. He's commissioned [[ArtSlave]] and [[Mirabem]] for a complete fursuit that made an appearance at [[Midwest Furfest 2008]].

=== Naughty Roxi ===

In adult artwork and in appropriate online adult role-play hangouts, Roxikat is overendowed, oversexed, and overeager. This [[hyperfur]] version has odd body-modifications that are inspired by Roxi's adventures on adult [[MUCK]] [[roleplay]] hangouts. Roxi first appeared online as a [[female]], but the player later preferred to roleplay the character as a [[herm]] and later as a shemale. The changes were inspired by the artwork of [[TRUMP]] and [[Doug Winger]] and especially the Mall stories featured on Doug's website.

Naughty Roxi has appeared in the comic ''[[Supermegatopia]]'' as the name Roxikat, (based on John's character on [[SMT Blue MUCK]], Milkshake) as well as in several portfolios sold at John's personal website at roxikat.com. She also appeared in Sin Factory's ''[[Genus]]'' #22 (reprinted in Genus Greatest Hits #3), and [[Genus Male]] #5.
