Pippin Bear:

[[Image:FC 2004 Pippin.JPG|right|thumb|'''Kelsey''' at [[Further Confusion 2004]]]]'''Pippin''' (born 1974) is a [[fursuiter]], user and server maintainer of [[Anthrochat]], hacker (occasionally verging on serious programming), and system administrator from London, UK. He runs his own small ISP dealing mainly in colocation of servers, volunteers as systems administrator for the [[ConFuzzled]] convention, and maintained [[LT3M]]'s European relay until the station stopped broadcasting.

He discovered furry way back in the late 1990s while at university, but didn't actually get involved in any way beyond sending one or two emails until about 2001 when he plucked up the courage to attend a London furmeet, and has since attended quite a few furry conventions. His usual [[fursona|online self]] is a highly [[anthropomorphic]] [[bear (species)|bear]] (of a similar level of anthropomorphism as [[Rupert Bear]]) - or sometimes, depending on his whim, a highly [[zoomorphic]] bear, or, indeed, a [[teddy bear]], or his [[fursuit]] [[character]], '''Kelsey'''. He sometimes adds "Bear" to the end of his name, but normally only when it is required to avoid ambiguity, such as when "Pippin" has already been taken as a username -- he considers "Pippin" to be his full name. Unlike many bear characters, Pippin's species is not due to his real-life physical size.

== Furry events attended ==

Pippin's first convention was [[Eurofurence 8]] in 2002, where he was awed by several fursuiters but did not get to perform in a fursuit himself. In 2003 he attended [[Pawpet Megaplex 2]], appearing in a (at the time, borrowed) Kelsey. By his next convention, [[Anthrocon 2003]], he had bought Kelsey and become a committed fursuiter.

He has since attended [[Further Confusion 2004]], [[Megaplex 3]] and [[Midwest FurFest 2004]] in 2004; [[Further Confusion 2005]], [[Eurofurence 11]] and [[Midwest FurFest 2005]] in 2005; [[Further Confusion 2006]], [[Anthrocon 2006]] and [[Eurofurence 12]] in 2006; [[Eurofurence 13]] in 2007; and [[Eurofurence 14]] in 2008(?). After resigning from his last employment in early 2006 and starting his own business in late 2006, he attended very few conventions for several years, only starting again with [[ConFuzzled 2010]].

Pippin has never attended local furmeets regularly, but has sporadically been seen at [[LondonFur meet]]s, and occasionally at [[NorthernFurs (UK)|NorthernFur]] meets in Birmingham, Manchester and Sheffield. He also attended the [[RBW]] "meet plus" events in 2006 and 2007.

In 2010 he attended [[ConFuzzled]], discovered that he already knew most of the convention staff well, and, a few months later, joined the staff himself as systems administrator. He has been present as a staff member at [[ConFuzzled 2011]], [[ConFuzzled 2012|2012]] and [[ConFuzzled 2013|2013]].

Yotie Coyote

Pippin Bear: Attempted to translate intro

[[File:Yotie Coyote by SuperStinkWarrior.jpg|thumb|right|Yotie's [[fursona]] is a toony coyote.]]
'''Yotie Coyote''' – more commonly known as '''Yotie'''<ref group="Note">Yotie's name is just part of the name of the animal (Co<u>yot</u>e) with the suffix -ie attached, giving the character an androgynous nature (gender is difficult to guess).</ref> – is an engineering fur (mechanical engineer and industrial designer) living near Paris, in France. He is of French-Colombian origin.

Born in 1988, he also answers to the name of Danny, and speaks fluent Spanish, English and French.
Amateur de cartoons traditionnels, c’est également un [[macrofur]].

== Le personnage ==
[[File:Yotie Coyote (expression set) by Henrieke.png|thumb|left|Fiche d’expressions de Yotie.]]
Yotie est représenté sous les traits du cliché du toon ingénieur des années 40–60<ref group="Note">Par le biais de la casquette verte transparente portée par le personnage, ainsi que son utilisation des blueprints – dessins techniques blancs sur fond bleu –, typique des ingénieurs mécaniques de l’époque.</ref>, âge d’or de la série [[Wikipedia:Bip Bip et Coyote|Bip Bip et Coyote]] ; le caractère et l’environnement de Yotie se retrouvent d’ailleurs dans le personnage du [[Wikipedia:Vil Coyote|Coyote]]. Outre Vil Coyote, Yotie a un comportement semblable aux personnages d’Hugo et Rita<ref>''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01QxKpuwBOg Jungledyret - Hulesangen (Original Danish)]'' sur Youtube.</ref>.

Le fursona de Yotie est une sorte de « miroir » de lui-même : apparence mise à part, le personnage de Yotie est calqué sur l’humain du même nom. Il possède le même caractère un peu fou, parfois « long à la détente », voire cynique ; très sympathique, il utilise beaucoup l’autodérision.

Le personnage, [[macro]], est supposé mesurer 250 mètres. Mais, à des fins d’intégration sociale, il est susceptible d’être représenté sous n’importe quelle taille, notamment sa taille humaine (1,75 m) ; cependant, sa taille ne doit jamais être inférieure à 1,50 m.

Le trou dans l’oreille gauche de Yotie serait dû à une morsure qu’il a reçue étant plus jeune, à une expérience qui a mal tourné, ou à une goutte de Trempette<ref group="Note">La Trempette, substance qui trouve sa source dans le film ''[[Wikipedia:Qui veut la peau de Roger Rabbit|Qui veut la peau de Roger Rabbit]]'', est le seul produit capable de tuer un toon.</ref>.

=== La fursuit ===
[[File:Yotie Coyote at the Grand Canyon.jpg|thumb|right|Yotie en fursuit au [[Wikipedia:Parc national du Grand Canyon|parc national du Grand Canyon]].]]
Yotie possède une [[fursuit]] de son [[fursona]] depuis 2009, créée par [[Jill0r]]<ref>''[http://db.fursuit.org/?c=viewsuit&id=1641 Yotie Coyote]'' sur la [[Fursuit Database]].</ref>.

C’est une fursuit partielle (par opposition aux complètes, où le corps entier est visible), justifiée par le fait que le personnage ''doit'' porter des vêtements pour être fidèle à son design original. De plus – toujours dans une politique de respect du personnage –, en fursuit, Yotie parle<ref group="Note">Il sait cependant que la « magie » d’une fursuit doit être conservée pour les jeunes enfants (en dessous de 10 ans) et lors de prestations ou apparitions publiques ; par conséquent, il évite de parler dans ces cas-là.</ref>.

Outre les différentes [[#Présence aux évènements furry|conventions]] et sorties en France auxquelles Yotie participe, la fursuit peut être aussi (rarement) aperçue lors des évènements organisés par l’association californienne « ''[http://www.crittersbythebay.com/ Critters by the Bay]'' », dont il est membre.

FIJAGH

2008-03-14T00:47:38Z

Pippin Bear: fix GAFIA link

'''FIJAGH''' is the acronym for '''"Fandom is Just a God-damned Hobby"'''. The term originated in response to dedicated, or "lifestyler" fans from [[Wikipedia:Science_fiction_fandom|sci-fi fandom]]. FIJAGH describes people for whom a particular fandom was definitely not a way of life and was regarded merely as a hobby or relatively minor interest. Such fans may or may not attend dedicated events like conventions, but generally do not consider fandom participation to be a cornerstone of their lifestyle or their primary social circle.

==FIJAGH and furry==

FIJAGH has been observed to be especially fitting for parts of [[furry fandom]], because of the presence of people who may like [[anthropomorphic]] artwork, fiction, and characters, but not consider Furry to be an actual lifestyle, comparing themselves against [[Furry_lifestyler|furry lifestylers]]. They may engage in practices such as [[role-playing]] or creating a Furry [[Avatar (virtual reality)|avatar]] for themselves, much as more dedicated fans, but make tend to make it clear they do not devote as much significance to participation.

An opposite view to FIJAGH is [[FIAWOL]] or '''Fandom is a Way of Life'''. People who see fandom this way have been known to deride more casual fans as "[[Wikipedia:Poseur|posers]]", sparking what are at times heated arguments and debates within some fandoms. By contrast, those in the FIJAGH demographic have in certain instances, insisted that those who follow fandom as a lifestyle merely need to "get a life".

Some people on the sidelines between the sporadic outbreaks of warfare between FIAWOL and FIJAGH camps have suggested that both interpretations of fandom can be valid depending on the needs and desires of a given individual. They have also lamented that most of the time, people at the extreme poles of a fandom don't seem to listen.

'''Real life''', often shortened to '''RL''', is a term generally used by [[Wikipedia:Internet|internet]] users to define activities offline and away from the computer. It is usually expanded to '''IRL''', or "In Real Life".

== Real life and furry ==

In addition, [[furries]] sometimes use "RL" to define activities outside the [[furry fandom]] and the [[roleplaying]] environment that it generally offers, regardless of whether they are on- or offline.

Pippin Bear: Current userbase statistic in intro, historical stats in history section

[[Image:AClogo-new.jpg|right|300px|AnthroChat]]

'''AnthroChat''' is an [[IRC]] network which was founded by [[Simba (person)|Simba]] in March 2004. As of 1 February 2008 it has seven servers (five in the USA, one in the UK and one in Germany) and an average of about 380-400 connected users.

== History ==

''Portions of this section will probably be merged into a separate page detailing the FurNet/Anthrochat split.''

Simba founded Anthrochat in response to the differences of opinion between himself and the administration of [[FurNet (IRC)|FurNet]]. In late 2003/early 2004, [[troll]]s, usually congregating in the channel #safurs, were dealt with by forcible disconnect. This quickly degenerated into a series of challenges to IRCop authority and subsequent network-wide bans of large swaths of users that were found objectionable by FurNet administration.

Simba, an IRCop of FurNet at the time, disagreed with this form of administration and argued for the right to freedom of speech on IRC. FurNet's administrators did not agree, Simba was removed from duty as an IRCop. FurNet administration published the FurNet Code of Conduct<ref>[http://www.furnet.org/documentation/code-conduct-users.html FurNet Code Of Conduct]</ref> ("''My freedom starts where your liberty stops''").

Simba put out a call for volunteers to create a new, uncensored IRC network which became known as Anthrochat. Anthrochat's Mission Statement<ref>[http://www.cimeris.com/~simba/anthrochat/mission.txt Anthrochat Mission Statement]</ref> is essentially to be an unmoderated, uncensored medium where the IRCops' sole responsibility is to ensure the physical integrity of the network. Censorship, social mores, and personal tastes are relegated to the channel operators of individual channels, and no network-wide enforced decency standards or code of conduct exists. FurNet continues to enforce common decency standards, which some consider subjective to the views of the IRCops online making them at the time. To this day, feelings about the whole split are somewhat sore, and users typically identify with one network or the other, though some connect to both simultaneously.

Anthrochat presently runs a version of the [[WikiPedia:UnrealIRCD|UnrealIRCD]] server using [[Wikipedia:Anope|Anope]] services. The change in codebase from what Furnet was using was received so positively, particularly because of the vhost feature that allows users to request customized hostmasks, that Furnet itself has mimiced Anthrochat's lead by instituting the same IRC daemon and services package.

From the network's founding in 2004 until the end of 2006, Anthrochat's userbase remained at an average of approximately 250-300 connected users. Usage increased over the course of 2007, and in January 2008 there were an average of approximately 384 users connected.

Pippin Bear: lion's not the only anthrochat server

[[Image:FTV logo.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Logo of FursuitTV.]]

'''FursuitTV''' is an online broadcast, lead by [[Timduru]], that first aired on Saturday, March 4th, 2006, and is dedicated to the spreading of old and new [[fursuit]]-themed videos for the enjoyment of fursuit fans. The shown material includes commercials, videos of [[furry convention]]s, and other media appearances where fursuits are shown. Often, the source of the video is referenced at the start of the clip by a caption at the top of the screen.

The program is broadcast in the form of a [[wikipedia:webcast|webcast]], accessible from the streams section of the main website. The site also lists the date when the show will be broadcast, and the time when the first broadcast will begin. After the initial showing, the program repeats itself several times until the next day. New episodes are broadcast on the night of the first Saturday of each month, and are then made available for download from an archive a few days later.

===Music===
Music plays a major part of the broadcasts. Episodes 1, 2, and 3 have featured the song ''My Eyes Are Dry'' by [[wikipedia:Scooter_(band)|Scooter]] as the introduction song, and episodes since have featured a fully instrumental introduction. Thus far, all episodes have ended with a montage of various video clips set to the song ''Ecstasy'' by [[wikipedia:Andr%C3%A9_Tanneberger|ATB]]. In addition to plentiful clips of music videos and dances at conventions, some clips have songs played as background music.

===IRC===
A live broadcast often corresponds with a spike in attendance at the FursuitTV [[IRC]] channel, #Fursuittv, on the [[Anthrochat]] network. Attendance is highest during the first showing, and drops during subsequent showings. The channel is run by Timduru and Num8, mostly during the first 2 showings of the show. At times other than that of the live broadcasts, the channel tends to be empty.

Pippin Bear: add some links, correct a name, explain species

'''Pippin''' (born 1974) is a [[fursuiter]], user and server maintainer of [[Anthrochat]], hacker (occasionally verging on serious programming), and system administrator from London, UK. His usual [[fursona|online self]] is a highly [[anthropomorphic]] [[bear]] (of a similar level of anthropomorphism as [[Rupert Bear]]) - or sometimes, depending on his whim, a highly [[zoomorphic]] bear, or, indeed, a [[teddy bear]], or his [[fursuit]] [[character]], [[Kelsey]]. He sometimes adds "Bear" to the end of his name, but normally only when it is required to avoid ambiguity, such as when "Pippin" has already been taken as a username -- he considers "Pippin" to be his full name. Unlike many bear characters, Pippin's species is not due to his real-life physical size.

== Conventions attended ==

Pippin has attended [[Eurofurence 8]] (in 2002), [[Eurofurence 11]] (2005), and [[Eurofurence 12]]. He plans to attend [[Eurofurence 13]] in 2007. He also attended [[Pawpet Megaplex 2]] (in 2003) and [[Megaplex 3]]; [[Anthrocon 2003]] and [[Anthrocon 2006|2006]]; [[Further Confusion]] 2004, 2005, and 2006; and [[Midwest FurFest]] in 2004 and 2005.

Pippin Bear: expand personal info

'''Pippin''' (born 1974) is a [[fursuiter]], user and server maintainer of [[Anthrochat]], hacker (occasionally verging on serious programming), and system administrator from London, UK. His usual [[fursona|online self]] is a highly [[anthropomorphic]] [[bear]] (of a similar level of anthropomorphism as [[Rupert Bear]]) - or sometimes, depending on his whim, a highly zoomorphic bear, or, indeed, a teddy bear, or his [[fursuit]] [[character]], [[Kelsey]]. He sometimes adds "Bear" to the end of his name, but normally only when it is required to avoid ambiguity, such as when "Pippin" has already been taken as a username -- he considers "Pippin" to be his full name.

== Conventions attended ==

Pippin Bear has attended [[Eurofurence 8]] (in 2002), [[Eurofurence 11]] (2005), and [[Eurofurence 12]]. He plans to attend [[Eurofurence 13]] in 2007.

Where's the actual article? All I have is a fantastic list of all the conventions you've been too/are going to. I only learn about you in the categories.--[[User:KendricksRedtail|Kendricks Redtail]] 22:01, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

"(Pippin moved to Pippin Bear: Full name)" Actually I consider "Pippin" to be my full name. I only add "Bear" when I have to, usually where it's a username and "Pippin" has already been taken (depressingly often). --[[User:Pippin Bear|Pippin]]

I don't seem to be able to find the option to move a page. (On Wikipedia it's at the top of the page; doesn't seem to appear on this wiki.) Please would someone let me know where the option is hiding on this wiki, or move the page back to "Pippin" for me? Thanks. --[[User:Pippin Bear|Pippin]]

Pippin Bear: Add a few more categories

'''Raphael''' (or '''Raph''') is one of the [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]] (TMNT). His bandana is red and his weapon of choice is twin Japanese [[Wikipedia:Sai (weapon)|sai]]. He is named after [[Wikipedia:Raphael|Raphael Sanzio]], the Renaissance painter. His personality is usually aggressive and angry, and he tends to be the "rebel." Furthermore, he is often shown as feeling jealous of his brother [[Leonardo]], who leads the Turtles.

Leonardo

2007-02-18T16:35:26Z

Pippin Bear: Add a few more categories

'''Leonardo''' (often shortened to simply '''Leo''') is one of the four [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]] (TMNT). His bandana is blue (originally red) and he is named after the famous Renaissance artist and inventor, [[Wikipedia:Leonardo da Vinci|Leonardo da Vinci]]. Having mastered [[Wikipedia:kenjutsu|Kenjutsu]], his weapon of choice is the [[Wikipedia:katana|katana]].

Of the four Ninja Turtles, Leonardo is the closest to their sensei/"father", Splinter. He is also the most responsible of the four Turtles and often acts as the leader of the group.

== Mirage Comic's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ==

In the original TMNT comics by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, Leonardo often acted as the leader of the Turtles, much to the annoyance of his brother, Raphael; he was also somewhat protective of his family. In the end it was Leonardo who managed to finally kill the Shredder.

Recently, Leonardo has managed to make a truce between the Turtles and the Foot Clan and has come to somewhat more friendly terms with Raphael.

== Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987 Cartoon ==

Like in the comics, Leonardo was the leader of the Turtles and the most responsible. He was portrayed as an extreme do-gooder who was opposed to extreme violence and who always tried to do the right thing.

== Archie Comic's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures ==

This version of Leo is extremely similar to the 1987 cartoon version, being somewhat of a do-gooder. This version of Leo also had an extreme dislike of firearms. A future version of this Leo was shown to have founded a ninja school.

== Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie Series ==

In the first three installments of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies (''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'', ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze'' and ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III'') Leonardo was shown to be more easygoing, joking around with his brothers. However, he took his leadership role highly seriously, taking responsibility for his brother Raphael's departure from the team and subsequent injury.

In the upcoming movie, ''TMNT'' it has so far been revealed that Leo has been travelling the world, honing his skills. He has apparently returned to New York to aid his brothers in battling Max Winters and the resurrected Foot Clan.

== Image Comic's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ==

Leonardo's personality in the TMNT Image comics was similar to his other portrayals, except he was slightly more easygoing. In the Image comics Leonardo ends up having one of his hands biten off during a battle against King Komodo. This lost hand is later replaced by a prosthetic one which has a retractable blade in it.

== Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003 Cartoon ==

This version of Leonardo is seemingly more based on the Mirage Comics character, though slightly more self-doubting of his leadership skills.

Later in the series Leonardo gains a somewhat more darker personality; this change seemingly brought on by his and his familie's near-death on the Shredder's starship. After this incident Leo had become more obsessive over his training and also more violent, as seen in his savage beating of the Slayer/Rat King.

Later, after guidance from the ancoent one, Leo manages to find inner peace and let go of his anger and self-doubt.

Splinter

Pippin Bear: Add a few more categories

[[Image:Splinter.jpg|right|thumb]]'''Splinter''' is the sensei master and father figure of the [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]. According to an interview with [[Peter Laird]], Splinter's character and name were based off the [[Wikipedia:Marvel Comics|Marvel Comics]]' sensei [[Wikipedia:Stick (comics)|Stick]] who trained [[Wikipedia:Daredevil|Daredevil]] and [[Wikipedia:Elektra|Elektra]]. In all versions of the story, he is a [[anthropomorphic]] [[Rat (species)|rat]], but his origins often vary depending on the version of the tale told.

In the original comic (as well as the movies, 2003 animated series, and Fast Forward animated series), Splinter was the pet rat of a ninja named Hamato Yoshi. Exceptionally intelligent for his species, Splinter was able to learn his master's art by mimicking his movements while he practiced. Hamato Yoshi and his rat fled to [[Wikipedia:New York|New York]] to flee Oroku Saki (who would become the Shredder), but were tracked down and Yoshi was murdered. Without a home, Splinter eventually came to live in the city's sewers until a canister of radioactive ooze and a shattered bowl of four baby turtles entered his life. The ooze covered both the rat and the turtles and in time, the ooze mutated them into [[anthropomorphic]] beings. Splinter would then name the turtles after his favorite Renaissance artists and raised them as his own sons, training them in the arts of ninjutsu, so that they may one day avenge the death of Hamato Yoshi and slay the Shredder, who had amassed a powerful organization in the New York underworld.

In the 1987 cartoon and following Archie Comics, Splinter's origin was changed to where he was Hamato Yoshi. In hiding after a fall from grace at the hands of Oroku Saki (the Shredder), he found the turtles and kept them as pets, treating them as children. One day, he found them playing in a puddle of ooze. He picked them up and carried them home, but before long, found all of them transforming. The Turtles became anthropomorphic after absorbing Yoshi's human DNA and Yoshi became a rat because of all the rats he dwelt amongst for so long.

After a long life, Splinter's death was shown in issue 10 of Volume 4 of the Mirage comic version of TMNT. His funeral followed in issue 11. Splinter's death was not in battle or the result of murder; it came when he was alone. The cause of his death was never revealed, but he clutches his chest, suggesting a possible heart attack. It is also possible the Turtles old enemy, the [[Wikipedia:Rat King|Rat King]] was somehow responsible for Splinter's death, as when Splinter dies the Rat King (or more appropriately, the Rat King's ghost) is seen leering down at him from the shadows.

Pippin Bear: Add a few more categories

'''Donatello''' (often shortened to simply '''Don''' or '''Donny''') is one of the four [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]] (TMNT). His bandana is purple (originally red) and he is named after the famous Renaissance sculptor, [[Wikipedia:Donatello|Donato di Niccolò di Betto Bardi]]. Having mastered, [[Wikipedia:bojutsu|Bōjutsu]], his weapon of choice is the [[Wikipedia:bo (weapon)|bo quarterstaff]]. Donatello is typically portrayed as the "whiz kid" of the group, responsible for being the mechanic, inventor and scientist of the group.

Michelangelo

Pippin Bear: Add a category

'''Michelangelo''' (or '''Mike''' or '''Mikey''') is one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT). His bandanna is orange (originally red) and his weapons are traditionally [[Wikipedia:nunchaku|kobu nunchaku]]. However because nunchucks, as they're normally called, are illegal in many places, TV creators have also portrayed him using other weapons like grappling hooks and [[Wikipedia:tonfa|tonfas]]. He is named after [[Wikipedia:Michelangelo|Michelangelo Buonarroti]], the famous Renaissance sculptor, architect, painter, and poet. Michelangelo is the most wellknown of the Turtles because of his kid-friendly attitude. Known as "the party dude" of the group, he is the one who coined most of the Turtles catchphrases. Because Kevin Eastman's original "ninja turtle" concept drawing in 1983 portrayed an unnamed turtle with nunchuku strapped to its arms, some consider Michelangelo to be the first Ninja Turtle created.
