Kehei

Proud Furry HATER: /* Fursona */ SCREW ALL FURRIES FURRIES ARE GAAAAAY AND STUPID!

'''Kehei''' (born May 17, 1992)<ref>[http://kehei.deviantart.com/ Kehei's profile] on [[deviantART]]. Retrieved January 18, 2013</ref> is a [[furry artist]] and [[writer]] who lives in [[Wikipedia:Quebec City|Quebec City]], Quebec, Canada. He was known as '''LoganFraser''' until October 2012, and '''Darius-Dragon''' until November 2011. Alternating a lot between [[species]], in July 2013, he settled with a blue sparkle fox by the name of "Kowan"

Kehei's art style is mainly G-rated portraits. He uses Shin-Han markers on Bristol boards to create most of his artwork. Originally on [[deviantART]] since 2006, Kehei left mid-2012 due to multiple issues. He is now on [[Fur Affinity]], and also has an account on [[Weasyl]] which is, for the most part, inactive.

As of July, 2013, Kehei has attended [[Anthrocon]] 2013.

He participated in 2012's NaNoWriMo, with a furry-inspired [[novel]].

==Fursona==

Kehei's fursona is a sparklefox going by the name of Kowan. The origins of Kowan, according to the artist, were "between a couple beers, I began to go nuts on the paper, and then went to bed. The next day I saw this little annoyance, in markers, on a corner of a page. Blue, black and white, this thing was just too amazing to be ignored. I wrote one name everywhere on my 'drunk scribbles', and it was Kowan. I settled on this." Blue for most part, he has odd markings, including a black stripe running to his tail, a triangle on the forehead, white fingers and toes, reversed ear markings (blue tips and black base) and a black tail ring. Sometimes depicted with shutter sunshades, he never wears shoes.

Although this is debatable, Kowan is considered by his creator as a sparklefox.

It is noted that due to a mis-spelling at Anthrocon 2013, Kowan also goes by the name of "Spacklefox".

Before choosing to be a Sparklefox, Kehei passed through many fursonas.

-Darius (Dragon): 2006-2011 

-Logan (Husky, then Arctic Fox): 2011-2012 

-Kay/Kehei (Clouded Leopard/Snow Leopard/Black Jaguar): 2012-2013 (Renamed Kehei in 2012) 

-Yatsen: 2013-2013 (May to July)

-Kowan: 2013-
SCREW ALL FURRIES FURRIES ARE GAAAAAY AND STUPID!

==Characters==

Kehei created throughout the years many characters, some to appear in only one or two pics. Here's a list of characters with their species that seem to be recurrent:

-Yatsen: Giant Panda 

-Zhao: Red Panda 

-Damon: Raccoon 

-Kehei: Black Jaguar 

-Kowan: Sparklefox (Fursona) 

-Maako: Kitsune 

He made other characters, mainly foxes or felines, but most seem to either be unused anymore or to have been dropped totally.

==Style==
Kehei uses Shin Han markers on bristol boards to create his artwork. His style seems semi-realistic, although it seems to be in a constant set of changes, but inspired by artists such as Angrboda or Shiverz, for example. Subjects vary, but most of the time, Kehei draws pinups or mundane scenes featuring most of the time his characters or random anthropomorphics. His favourite species appear to be raccoons, foxes, red pandas or jaguars. Kehei dropped digital art upon creating his current account due to hyper-photosensitivty, making his eyes unable to stare at a screen for prolongated periods, hence his devotion to traditional art.

'''''The Nightyard''''' focused on the (mis-)adventures of college student [[Maus Merryjest]], a siberian [[tiger]], and his boyfriend, a [[cheetah]] named [[Blackpaw]]. It was a furry comic that has inspired some of its readers to come out of the closet.

Unfortunately ''The Nightyard's'' records and archives were lost in a server crash at the Warren Wilson North Carolina campus. Various individuals have copies of particular comics here and there, and Maus Merryjest is currently working on piecing the archives back together through these copies.

First Aid

2014-06-02T11:34:45Z

Proud Furry HATER: /* Liability concerns */ SCREW ALL FURRIES FURRIES ARE GAAAAAY AND STUPID!

'''First Aid''' is a service that some furry [[convention]]s provide for their members. Many conventions offer qualified people to perform first aid should the convention guests need it. First aid [[furs]] are generally on duty in shifts, providing 24 hour coverage.

At most conventions, the first aid staff are available to provide first aid (contact [[Con_Ops | ConOps]]) but also carry radios and will respond to a reported medical issue to offer their assistance to a competent adult -- which may of course be refused. In the event of a medical emergency (a threat to someone's life), First Aid staff will provide basic lifesaving care within their skill level and equipment until the paramedics arrive. This has happened at a number of conventions including [[CaliFur]].

==Liability concerns==
Some states have a legal concept on the books known as "expectation of care". This means that if a convention offers "first aid services", a person who becomes injured and fails to (or is unable to) receive any medical assistance from a convention may be entitled to file a claim against the convention in civil court. While most liability insurance policies have "riders" available to offset this risk, it is expensive, and usually out of the budget of a furry convention. As such, a convention running in a state which has "expectation of care" is unable to provide first aid services.

Conventions in states which do not provide first aid services because of these legal issues include:
* [[Anthrocon]] (Pennsylvania) {{fact}}

Swan

2014-06-02T11:31:37Z

Proud Furry HATER: /* Swan maidens */ SCREW ALL FURRIES FURRIES ARE GAAAAAY AND STUPID!

'''Swan''' is a genus of [[bird]]s of the family Anatidae, which also includes [[geese]] and [[duck]]s. Swans are large birds, one of the largest flying [[species]]. They spend much of their time floating on the water. They have long, slender necks which they keep arched while swimming. The Northern Hemisphere species of swan have pure white [[feather|plumage]] but the Southern Hemisphere species are mixed black and white. The Australian Black Swan is completely black except for the white flight feathers on its [[wing]]s.

Swans are strictly monogamist and mate for life. Even if a mated pair discovers that they share the same gender (swans don't have obvious sexual dimorphism, and such situation are norm), they will stay together and try to steal eggs from other swans to raise chicks<ref>Braithwaite, L. W., 'Ecological studies of the Black Swan III – Behaviour and social organization', Australian Wildlife Research 8, 1981: 134-146</ref><ref>Braithwaite, L. W., 'The Black Swan', Australian Natural History 16, 1970: 375-379</ref>. Although 'divorce' does sometimes occur, particularly following nesting failure.

For their looks and monogamy, swans are considered a symbol of purity<ref>Their [[homosexual]] behavior wasn't discovered until modern times.</ref>, elegance, and sometimes femininity.

== Swan maidens ==
There is a motif of women who can [[transformation|turn into]] swans, particularly in Slavic and Norse [[mythology]] and [[Dungeons & Dragons]] [[role-playing game]]. For example, such are [[:wikipedia:Valkyries|Valkyries]] of the Norse legends. The transformation ability is often granted by a feathered garment that can be stolen, especially while the woman is bathing in a lake or a river. The thief then can demand a favor or trick the swan maiden into marrying him.

Sometimes a swan maiden doesn't reveal its true human nature until the hero fulfills several quests proving that he is good of heart. Sometimes a woman is transformed into a swan by a curse (the magnificent swan being the only shape that magic could turn this pure soul into). In any case, although the human form of a swan maiden doesn't have bird features, they are usually wise and elegant in swan's image.

=== In role-playing games ===
In Dungeons & Dragons, there are ''swanmays'', a secretive order of swan women. They first appeared in ''Monster Manual II'' for the first edition of AD&D in 1983. They were among the new playable races in ''[[The Complete Book of Humanoids]]'', the first D&D supplement that allowed player characters of exotic descent. In 2003, they were updated for the third edition as a prestige class in ''The Book of Exalted Deeds''. In 2006, fans made a template that can be applied to any humanoid female of good alignment to create a playable swanmay.

Swan women in RPGs are not limited to swanmays. In the new [[World of Darkness]], there is a swan [[changing breed]] in the image of Valkyrie. d20 fantasy supplement ''Frost & Fur'' (compatible with D&D 3.5) is in part dedicated to Slavic folklore and has a wereswan lycathrope option.

[[Anthro]]-swans are not as popular in [[furry art]] as [[feline]]s and [[canine]]s, but they do appear from time to time. Such characters often have [[zoomorphic]] swan head on a slender neck and wings in addition to anthropomorphic hands. Sometimes swan features are used in a [[griffin]] character.

A prominent swan artist is [[Swandog]], a [[therianthrope]] who once thought to have swan/saluki [[hybrid]] [[theriotype]].

== Characters ==
The most famous swan in modern popular culture is Princess Odette of ''[[The Swan Princess]]''. The movie is based on ''[[Swan Lake]]'' classic ballet. Other works of fiction which feature swans are ''The Wild Swans'' and ''The Ugly Duckling'' fairy tales.

Swan mutant character is an option in [[TMNT RPG|TMNT]] and [[After the Bomb]] RPGs.

Org's Odyssey: A Tale of Post-Human Earth

[[Image:OrgThumbnail.jpg|right|thumb|132px|Org's Odyssey Second Edition Cover]]
'''''Org's Odyssey: A Tale of Post-Human Earth''''' (ISBN 0595316794) is a fantasy novel written in 2004 by Texas [[fantasy]] [[writer]] [[Duke Otterland]] and originally published by [[Wikipedia:iUniverse|iUniverse]]. The book had a second printing at [[Wikipedia:Lulu.com|Lulu.com]], but appears to no longer be in print.

== Plot summary ==
The novel is set in an Earth far in the future, where a race of beings known as Anthropians, [[animal]]s with [[anthropomorphic]] characteristics, dominate the planet which they have renamed Anthropia.

The protagonist is Org Odysseus Otterland, an [[albino]] half-[[deer]] half-[[otter]] with white [[wing]]s, gills, golden antlers and a furry [[dolphin]] tail. Org feels lonely in the world, despite the friendship of Camellia Carmichael, his [[Wikipedia:chameleon|chameleon]] friend and true love. When the forces of Malice Island destroy his country searching for him, he sets out to find the Seven Heroes of [[Wikipedia:Asgard|Asgard]] and their Runes to battle the Seven Satans, servants of the Sin (renamed the [[Wikipedia:Nidhoggr|Nidhoggr]] in the second edition), the Dark Warriors of the Holy Kingdom of [[Wikipedia:Niflheim|Niflheim]] and free Britannia.

==Setting==
Org's Odyssey is set in Anthropia, a fictional world set in post-[[human]] Earth. Earth had originally been abandoned by space-faring humans. Anthropomorphic creatures appear after a seed of Yggdrasil lands on the earth. Insects are not granted this treatment; instead they grow to very large sizes and are used as a source of food and for transportation. Characters will ride giant crickets for ground transportation and giant flies for transportation by air.

Continents are named after mythological, primarily [[Wikipedia:Norse mythology|Norse]] influences, including Ymir (covering what was North America), Latina (covering what was Latin America), Yoric (covering what was Europe), Orient (covering what was Asia), Titania (covering what was Africa), and Oceania. Modern day cities such as London retain their names.

==Reception==
Most reviews of the book (and its sequels) have been highly negative. Negative responses have come from inside and outside of the furry community. It has been accused of lacking flow in description, with an often overuse of flowery language, sometimes even using certain words in a completely wrong context. The story's fight scenes are said to lack impact or convincing strength, and often serve to a formula rather than creating a unique scene. Its characters have been described as having little personality, poor description that relies entirely on physical aspects rather than personality, bad catch phrases, poor dialogue, and frequent repetition. Overall most reviews consider self indulgent to its author, boring, long and repetitive. Its childlike plot and characters have also been a staple of negative reviews.

'''Fursuits''' are [[animal]] costumes associated with the [[furry fandom]]. They range from simple [[tail]]s and [[ears]] to full costumes cooled by battery-powered fans. Similar to [[mascot]] suits, they allow the wearer to adopt another personality while in costume. Owners (also known as '''[[:Category:Fursuiters|fursuiters]]''') can spend less than one-hundred to many thousands of dollars on one fursuit, depending on the complexity of the design and on the materials used. These items are frequently sold at conventions, or online by either commission or auction. Many furry fans [[:category:Fursuit makers|make their own]] using online tutorials and/or advice from newsgroups.

The term ''fursuit'' (coined<ref>[[Critter Costuming]], p13 - Robert King mentions inventing the term ''fursuit'' back in 1993 for the title of an amateur costumers' mailing list about the then-unnamed hobby while on the way back from a conference{{fact}}, in part as a pun on the word ''pursuit''</ref> in 1993 by [[Robert King]]) can also refer to animal mascot costumes in general, as opposed to [[human]] or inanimate object mascots. The act of wearing a fursuit is usually referred to as ''[[fursuiting]]''.

==History==

Fursuiting as a permanent feature and practice within the fandom likely dates to the pre-convention era (1984-1989), when the first furry parties were being organized at both sci-fi conventions and home furmeets. By [[Confurence 0]] in 1989 (the first hotel-based furry convention), a programming track called "Furry Costuming" was held at the hotel at which it took place.'

Many have commented on the sea change which occurred in the growing fandom when graphic artists, many of whom were native to the [[funny animal]] fandom era, shared more attention with costumers, resulting in the artists' booths being overshadowed by the presence of costumers at conventions and furry parties<ref>[http://groups.google.com/group/alt.fan.furry/browse_thread/thread/98297bd0b163b276/aa1b5bd5eb53f70c?lnk=gst When did Fursuiters take over furry fandom?] thread started by [[Joe Strike]] to [[alt.fan.furry]], Nov 30 2008, 12:33 pm</ref>.
SCREW ALL FURRIES FURRIES ARE GAAAAAY AND STUPID!

==Types of fursuits==
[[File:GR FC2007 furry cats costumers.jpg|right|thumb|Fursuits are not always furry]]
The standard fursuit is a full body costume that consists of a head, forepaws (hands), hind paws (feet) and a body with an attached tail; in some cases, the tail is connected via a belt to the wearer and hangs out through a hole in the back of the body. Many suits include special padding or under suits to give the character its desired shape (this is especially present in larger characters or those of a particular gender.)

A ''partial suit'' or ''half-suit'' contains the above, only without the body. This allows the wearer to don ordinary clothing (or a different costume) overtop of the paws, head and tail. In partial suits, the tail is usually attached to a belt, and the arms and legs have sleeves that can go up as far as the shoulders and pelvis, respectively.

Most recently, a third type known as the ''three-quarter suit'' has been developed, which consists of a head, arms and pants made to look like the legs, tail and feet of the animal in question, which works well for characters who only wear shirts.

== Styles ==
Just like artwork, fursuits can vary in style, from the [[Kodimade|ultra-cartoony]] look, to the hyper-realistic. Now that fursuiting is becoming popular in Japan, we are beginning to see some very anime-style fursuits in that country.

== Reasons for fursuiting ==
[[File:Wgg the Gnoll.jpg|thumb|right|Wgg the Gnoll, an example of a suit that uses a mask.]]
A person who wears a fursuit generally falls into one or more of five categories.

=== Job or charity work ===
Many furry fans wear fursuits as a job or to bring attention to an event or charity. This can include mascots, though not all mascots are fursuits, nor are all mascot performers furries. Many fursuiters are hired through an agency to represent a character, while others bring their own constructions to an event instead. There are also several volunteer fursuiting groups across North America that either ask or are asked to entertain at various social functions. Some groups even set up their own charitable events or perform on the streets to passersby.

=== Conventions, parades, exhibitions ===
[[File:FursuitDancersAC2006.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Fursuit dancers at [[Anthrocon 2006]] — video by [[BigBlueFox|BBF]]: [http://youtube.com/watch?v=dFKdUVsjUqY 1] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lb82sUmiCq4&NR 2] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aafWQJwQmZ0 3] ]]
Other furries enjoy wearing their suits for parades, exhibitions, or [[convention]]s. Oftentimes these are of a personal character who they are expressing as a form of role play. The fursuiter may consider themselves to be expressing who they really are. These fursuiters may also wear their suits to small, informal meetings among furry fans in their area. Some may get permission to perform in or outside of a shop or event, while others may simply wear a suit in a major area, such as a mall. However, some public areas have no-mask laws, so individuals seeking to wear their fursuit in large, public places should check first if it's allowed before performing at that location.

=== [[Role-playing]] ===
Some LARPers create highly elaborate costumes (including fursuits) for their characters. Half-suits are usually created for role-playing games, though some LARPers use full-body suits. These suits wear elaborate clothes and costumes of their own, depending on the theme of the game.

=== Sexuality ===
A small portion of the [[furry fandom]] considers a fursuit a sexual item. Some suits may contain elaborately designed sexual features, while some wearers simply snip a hole or two out themselves. The [[Wikipedia:music video|music video]] for "[[Beautiful]]" by [[Wikipedia:Moby|Moby]] revolves around a [[Wikipedia:Swinging|swinger]] house party where all the participants are dressed up in fursuits, though this is likely to be intended as a metaphor rather than a statement about the furry fandom. It is a common public misconception that all fursuiters use fursuiting for sex.

=== Spirituality ===
Some people (usually [[Wikipedia:otherkin|otherkin]],[[Wikipedia:therianthropy|therianthropes]], or [[furry lifestyler]]s) also fursuit for reasons of expressing what they feel is their inner animal self. Most of them try to make their suits as realistic and lifelike as possible.{{fact}}

==Construction==
{{main|Construction of fursuits}}

==Maintenance==

Some fursuiters spray their costumes with Febreeze, Endbac, Lysol, or a generic antibacterial spray after each use. Usually fursuiters select a product that will kill bacteria, rather than just mask odors. During storage, the fursuiter may keep it stored with a fabric softener sheet, or a box of baking soda like the ones used in a fridge or freezer.

The fursuit is regularly brushed. Fursuiters usually try to brush the fur in such a way that it doesn't pull on the fur backing, as not to weaken it.

When it comes time to wash the suit, fursuiters consider each part individually. If foam is soaked in water, it may not dry quickly enough and start to grow bacteria or fungus before it does. Airbrushed patterns may fade if washed. Glue used to hold parts of the suit together may weaken if washed. Leather is usually not advisable to soak in water. If the suit has any electronics, those may be damaged by water. If wire or plastic canvas gives part of the suit its shape, it may not be advisable to soak that part, or at least not to machine-wash it.

The parts that will not be washed can usually be wiped with a damp cloth. Stains may be removable with a product like [[Bubble Gund]].

The parts that will be washed can either be machine washed or hand-washed. Usually the fursuit is turned inside-out and zipped up to avoid extra stress to the fur. No heat is used during the process as this can shrivel the fur. For detergent some will use a regular laundry detergent, while some may use a special detergent like Woolite. Putting undiluted detergent directly onto the fur may cause fading, so fursuiters try to avoid this except for treating stains. For machine-washing, the fursuiter chooses one of the more delicate cycles. For hand-washing, the fursuiter tries not to stretch the backing, and not to squeeze the fur into an alignment other than its natural lying flat state.

After the suit is washed, it is then dried. The fursuiter may fluff it up in the dryer in an air-only cycle. '''No heat is used in any step.''' Usually the fursuiter does not dry it completely, but takes it out and brushes it periodically until it is completely dry. Since waterlogged fur is heavy, the fursuiter may go to some lengths to lay it out flat while drying, so it doesn't stretch from the extra weight. Fans may be used to accelerate the drying process.

Fursuiters are divided over whether [[Wikipedia:drycleaning|dry cleaning]] is advisable for fursuits. Since dry-cleaners can choose from many different methods and settings, and there are many types of fur, it is likely that one answer does not apply to all situations.

== Performance ==
[[File:Fursuit Markus Hug.JPG|right|thumb|[[Markus]] offering a hug.]]
A key part of playing a character in suit is an engaging performance. The most expensive fursuit in the world will not help someone who does not know how to use it. Looking good is important, but not as important as ''acting''.

How the performer acts in costume reflects on how others relate to them. If the desired character is bouncy and bubbly, then acting that way is required to communicate it to spectators.

The design of the suit plays a part in some of the moves that can be done. For example, some fursuiters with floppy muzzles nod their heads up and down rapidly to simulate laughter or enjoyment. This cannot be done with suits with a rigid muzzle, or no muzzle at all.

=== Body language ===

Fursuiters typically do not speak in costume. This may be for a variety of reasons:
* To preserve the anonymity or conceal the gender of the performer
* The design of most suits muffles the voice of the performer
* Most animals don't talk
Because of this, acting in suit is mostly about body language.

When a fursuiter ''does'' speak in costume, it is often just to their [[Fursuit handler|handler]] and/or close friends. Alternately, fursuiters may only speak in some limited fashion, either with a limited vocabulary, or simply using as few words as necessary.

Increasingly, more elaborate fursuits are being built with some form of "[[talkjaw]]". This typically involves the fursuit's lower jaw being attached to the fursuiter's chin (likely with an elastic strap around the fursuiter's head), or pressed against by the fursuiter's lower jaw in some other fashion. This enables the fursuiter to talk, without giving the impression of "thinking out loud" as in [[Garfield]] (traditional animation).

== "Furzooter" ==

''[[Wikipedia:The Year of the Flood|The Year of the Flood]]'', a 2009 novel by [[Wikipedia:Margaret Atwood|Margaret Atwood]], includes the passage:
{{q|Toby got a job as a furzooter: cheap day labour, no identity required. The furzooters put on fake-fur animal suits with cartoon heads and hung advertising signs around their necks, and worked the higher-end malls and the boutique retail streets. But it was hot and humid inside the furzoots, and the range of vision was limited. In the first week she suffered three attacks by fetishists who knocked her over, twisted the big head around so she was blinded, and rubbed their pelvises against her fur, making strange noises, of which the meows were the most recognizable. It wasn't rape - no part of her actual body was touched — but it was creepy.<ref>Atwood, Margaret. ''The Year of the Flood''. Toronto, Ontario: McClelland & Stewart, 2009. p. 31.</ref>}}
