[[File:Tiggstar_ref_sheet.jpg|thumb|right|A [[reference sheet]] for Tiggstar's [[fursona]], Tiggs.]]
'''Tiggstar''' is an [[anthro artist]] from [[W:Ottawa, Ontario|Ottawa, Ontario]], Canada. Tiggstar's [[fursona]] is named '''Tiggs''', a [[dog]]-[[raccoon]] [[hybrid]].

== Art ==
=== Anthro ===

As an anthro artist, Tiggstar has partially completed a [[comic]]-project entitled ''[[Later Days]]'', on hiatus. She was to be the official illustrator of [[Royal-Sovereign]]'s ''Phillipe'' project. She was also the only artist that Royal-Sovereign officially sanctioned to draw his fursona (excluding gift-art from others).

=== Non-anthro ===

Along with ''Later Days'', Tiggstar made public announcements for a full-on [[manga]] project called ''[[Dream Catcher]]'', which she has produced several [[character]] designs for.

An avid [[anime]] and [[manga]] fan, Tiggstar does [[fanart]] of the ''[[W:Naruto|Naruto]]'' and ''[[W:Bleach (manga)|Bleach]]'' series. Much of the style of her own work, both anthro and otherwise, has been attributed to the influence of manga and anime.

[[File:FoxVolkTogether.png|thumb|right|'''Volk''' (on right) pictured with his mate, Aux Chiens, drawn by [[Tiggstar]].]]
[[File:Morgan_the_white_bandit_by_SirPaulTheIII.jpg|thumb|right|'''The White Bandit''', a gift-art piece for Volk, fancifully depicting his [[fursona]] in the style of ''[[Wikipedia:Fire Emblem|Fire Emblem]]'', by [[Sir Paul the III]].]]
'''Volk''' (born [[Wikipedia:14 September|14th September]] [[Wikipedia:1989|1989]]) is a white [[wolf]] (Okami) [[Therian]] from [[wikipedia:Florida|Florida]]. An amateur [[wikipedia:graphic artist|graphic artist]] and occasional [[wikipedia:poetry|poet]], he is married to [[Christopher Veidt]] since February of 2007.

==Name==

Volk's name directly originates from the [[Wikipedia:Russian language|Russian]] term for "wolf" -- Russian being one of his favourite foreign languages. Elsewhere, he is known as '''Zero''' (the English translation of the name of the character [[Wikipedia:Characters of Breath of Fire III#Rei|Rei]] from ''[[Wikipedia:Breath of Fire|Breath of Fire]]'') and '''Okami''', from the [[Wikipedia:Japanese Mythology|Japanese mythical]] wolf of the same name.

==Personal life and hobbies==

In the past, Volk has done collaborations with other [[Furry]] artists, assisting with colouration and line-art, as well as composing [[Wikipedia:poetry|poetry]] which he derives from [[Wikipedia:mood|moods]], emotion, and [[Wikipedia:nature|Nature]].

Volk's other main artistic outlet is in the field of [[Wikipedia:abstract art|abstract]] [[Wikipedia:digital art|digital artwork]], using programs such as [[Wikipedia:Terragen|Terragen]] and [[Wikipedia:Cinema 4D|Cinema 4D]] to create hypnotic, psychedelic landscapes and visuals.

An avid [[wikipedia:gamer|gamer]] whose taste encompasses many genre's of video games, Volk has described himself as a big fan of both classic titles (as a [[Wikipedia:retrogaming|retrogamer]]), next-gen consoles like the [[Wikipedia:Nintendo|Nintendo]] [[Wikipedia:Wii|Wii]], [[Wikipedia:XBox360|Xbox360]], and the older [[wikipedia:PS2|PS2]]. Amongst his favourite series of games are ''[[Wikipedia:Resident Evil|Resident Evil]]'', ''[[Wikipedia:Final Fantasy|Final Fantasy]]'', ''[[Wikipedia:.hack//G.U.|.hack//G.U.]]'', and ''[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda|Zelda]]'' -- the most recent installment of which, ''Twilight Princess,'' struck something of a chord, as a key feature to the game involves the hero [[Wikipedia:Link|Link's]] ability to [[lycanthropy|transform into a wolf]].

It's very unclear whether this was at any point released as a finished project. Merge into [[Royal-Sovereign]]? -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 21:46, 22 August 2013 (EDT)

::As the sole original author, creator, copyright and ISBN holder -- all fan art was done at my personal request -- I can tell you that the project cannot be finished in the foreseeable future due to several different circumstance.

:Our practice on WikiFur is not to remove articles about works solely because of a creator's personal exclusion or request. Equally, our practice is that unfinished projects are not generally given separate articles, but that content about such may be in an article about the creator. In this case, I'm not getting any results of an online search for "Cardinal Orange" combined with furry, and I don't think a brief availability through a self-publishing platform of one episode is enough to show this as a project finished to the point where we would generally have a separate article. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 15:31, 23 August 2013 (EDT)

Honestly dude I'd just like you delete [[Royal-Sovereign]], [[Volk]], and [[Phillipe]]. I can hardly be considered in the fandom now, I wrote that stuff like four years ago and virtually none of it means anything to me anymore.

== Wikifur works with Google Glass! ==

Well, kinda... Pair on test loan from a friend who is a Glassware developer, working on a project that will integrate the glasses net "Search" function with a Wiki Fandom DB search app ([[Wikifur]], [http://fanlore.org/wiki/Main_Page Fanlore], [http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Doctor_Who_Wiki TARDIS.wikia], [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page Wookieepedia], etc,...).

Getting pass the Dorkage factor of having to slightly look up and say "Okay, Glass" every bloody time you wish to query, it works. =) "Okay, Glass, Wikifur, Califur" does bring up a (somewhat still on beta display territory) result card (a screenshot should go here, but the API still bugged), with very basic (emphasis "basic") information displayed. [[Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures]] comes up nice (Logo on upper right, good), but querying [[Furry Weekend Atlanta]] brings up [[Fur Affinity: United]] and vice versa, [[Fur Affinity]] brings up [[FurFright]], [[Furmeet]] brings [[FurMagic]]... (see the pattern yet?).

There will be a (future) option of taking a picture, and upload it to the pertinent Wiki's article (a test shot of some [[Fursuiter]] friends attending [[Califur]] to his test wiki's [[fursuit]] article worked, #@$#! license input needs work "GNU!, gNu, Ganu?, genooo,..."). Cool device, too ^.^

==Replacing multiple instances of one phrase with another==
[http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Special:ReplaceText ReplaceText] might be faster than doing it individually.--[[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] 13:09, 4 June 2013 (EDT)
:Actually doing so. There were 800+ pages needed to be changed, so I checked the Special pages directories for the option. But if I didn't knew about, I would have been an appreciated tip. Thanks =) - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 13:20, 4 June 2013 (EDT)

== Unsure about "Cleanup" ==

Yeah, I'm not to sure what is wrong with my page, i know I don't have too many sources, but all this is coming from me and my mind, how can i even source that? -[[Cole Cherno]]

:A little bit fractured, for one. You have your biography segmented and mixed with your fandom history. Bring your real life Biography up first, then your Fandom involvement next (which includes your [[Fursona]]), followed by your skills, as a suggested start. There is times when too much media (images) will encroach on the article (you have to decide how much is truly needed to illustrated/inform graphically your article). And as always, the [[Help:Furry Book of Style|Furry Book of Style]] is your friend for formatting solutions - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 02:40, 9 June 2013 (EDT)

== Smirre ==

Could you help me out a little? I know the text was somewhat subjective, but I was hoping someone could fix it (rather than deleting the whole thing). Also, I apparently forgot to check all links while not logged in, which ones were members only?

Regarding the references, how should one handle references in languages other than English? Maybe add a translation? Excluding all non-English sources does not seem like the best of solutions.

[[Special:Contributions/5.150.238.249|5.150.238.249]] 05:25, 13 June 2013 (EDT)

:Oops, sorry. Looks like some cache somewhere is acting up; it looked like you had reverted my edit. Anyway, do you have any tips for when there are only non-english references?
:[[Special:Contributions/5.150.238.249|5.150.238.249]] 17:07, 13 June 2013 (EDT)

::Sorry to get back late back to you (RL), but it seems that somebody has already filled in the reference vacancies, including the members-only one (which was/is the very first one on the article). As for the translation of reference links, Google has a built-in translator, Safari offers [http://sidetree.com/extensions/Translate_changes.html Extensions], and Firefox [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/google-translator-for-firefox/ Plug-ins], so it is not (almost) an issue. The screenshots (were the use of them as valid reference is still being debated here) were a total beast altogether, as there is no way to translate an image.

::No, the NPOV issue is that it still reads as "an opinion" more than "a fact", and it goes a long way in the article (more than one third) to simply point out that he has social issues with people in a single furry site: Example: Why would an admin's ([[Ricadonna]]) dislike with this individual '''prior''' to joining [[Sveafur]] be listed as an "issue" on [[Smirre]]'s article? (he has no control what other people think of him). The two imaginary friends... Why bring it up?. As long it did not impact a Sveafur directly (financially, emotionally, physically), a personal quirk is not really historical data. The subjects that people found "irritating"": Unless, again, it involved somebody personally, why parade the particular subjects out? (reference links are normally enough to highlight the issue).

::Deaths threats. Now this should be noted, specially if done "''On numerous occasions''" on the site against (presumably more than one) Swedish fur. But there is only one listed instance, and "''what would legally be regarded as threatening to kill people''" is an opinion based loaded phrase... And so on and on. Just an FYI on this point - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 00:23, 14 June 2013 (EDT)

:::Trying to paint a "complete" picture, and doing so without being too biased. Hard work, thanks for your input.

:::There are things that I don't think could be fitted into the article while keeping a neutral point of view. For instance he has posted papers from the Swedish social services saying he has problems with, among lots of other things, paranoia. When he changed his mind and wanted to un-post them he said that "Anonymous" had hacked his computer and posted them, and later confessed that he had done it.

:::Now, as I said, I want to make the whole picture clear, and his paranoia and needing 24/7 assistance are surely some key elements describing a part of his personality. The only sources for this are the aforementioned papers, which are only available as images, in Swedish, which is another reason why it can't be included.

:::As to why I've written about SveaFur in particular, it is for a number of reasons. He has been there for a long time and stirred up a lot of feelings, they had to ban him as a measure to keep the forums alive, and that's where most sources are. Of course he has been at other communities as well. I will se if I can find someone who knows more of his activities elsewhere.

== Could->May and minus Bolding in Disambiguation pages edits (June 2013) ==

The edits in process are being done automatically, as per prior discussions regarding these format changes on disambiguation pages. These changes have been done by hand slowly (still are) for the lasts few weeks, but I'm turbo-editing through, so this is just an FYI so it doesn't surprise anyone.

New to the format of these pages is '''alphabetization''' (it seems), and the addiction of '''sections''' (prior discussions), which will be done by hand (no way to automate these tasks). Again, just a heads-up on what's going on - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 04:04, 25 June 2013 (EDT)
:As per reference, most of these proposals/discussions occurred on the [[Fox (disambiguation)|Fox]] disambiguation's [[Talk:Fox (disambiguation)|talk page]] - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 04:18, 25 June 2013 (EDT)

and i fucked up... i honestly have no freaking clue why you have the tag and what i have to do so thanks for adding me to your queue.... [[Cole Cherno]] 9:55 EST July 27, 2013

== Question ==

Ok, I think I understand how to get the wikify tag off my page, i gotta remove most of the external links and turn them in sources, but give them names so that they don't all become duplicate links like the last time. Am I correct? Clarify when I do the edits tomorrow morning -[[User:MilitaryAviator]] 9:52PM EST 8/15/2013

Royal Scottish:

'''Snapesnogger''' (born '''Gemma Wilson''') is a controversial [[female]] [[artist]] from [[Wikipedia:Australia|Australia]].

She is known for her [[naga]] characters on [[deviantART]], [[y! Gallery]] and [[Fur Affinity]], as well as her [[Wikipedia:Harry Potter (series)|Harry Potter]] [[fanart]] (hence her userhandle).

Many of her drawings feature [[MPreg Furs|male characters impregnated]], which has drawn both praise and criticism from many users on the websites she frequents. Her often poor handling of this criticism (well-documented to the point of obsessive harassment by [[Encyclopaedia Dramatica]], among others) and the subsequent notoriety of her artwork, added to a quickly-darkening reputation that gained her near-Internet-wide negative press.

Currently, Snapesnogger has gone incognito, closing her deviantART account and abandoning the one on FurAffinity<ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/133573/ "yep." 26th May 2007]</ref> as well as shutting down her y! Gallery account, presumably also because of harassment<ref>[http://yaoi.y-gallery.net/journal/snapesnogger/66311/ "? reporters going crazy much?", 9th November 2006]</ref>.

It can be inferred that she has since moved to other accounts, at least on y! Gallery<ref>[http://yaoi.y-gallery.net/comment/9360343/ Comment by jurshiku, 4th June 2009]</ref> and is posting art more discreetly.

Encyclopedia Dramatica was founded as a compendium of internet personalities, events and memes by Girlvinyl in response to the deletion of the Mediacrat vanity page on [[Wikipedia]],<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Mediacrat Mediacrat deletion page] on Wikipedia</ref> created by [[LiveJournal]] e-celebrity [[Wikipedia:User:Jameth|Jameth]] (who used to be an honorary administrator on the site.)<ref>[http://tinyurl.com/2v2ycz Jameth user page on Encyclopædia Dramatica]</ref>

== Types of content ==

Most ED articles avoid a "neutral point of view" and encourage sarcasm, hyperbole, and other kinds of humor mocking the article's subject; they are not required to be referenced or have any basis in fact. It has been compared to an internet version of a [[Wikipedia:Supermarket_tabloid|tabloid]] and the [[Wikipedia:Devil's Dictionary|Devil's Dictionary]].

Article themes include:

*Criticism of Wikipedia, its editors, administrators, and policies.
*The people, events, and culture of [[Wikipedia:LiveJournal|LiveJournal]]
*Social and political commentary.
*Shock images.
*Blog, forum, and MMO* drama.
*Internet celebrities
*Internet memes, including those from [[SomethingAwful]] and the various Chan imageboards.
*Mocking subcultures like emo, goths, furries, and anyone the members consider to have an unwarranted case of self-importance.
*Presenting an article as encyclopedic, while delivering satirical commentary or criticism.
*Purposeful misinformation.

Encyclopedia Dramatica has a large amount of [[Wikipedia:Pornography|pornography]] and shock images. There are also many ads on the sidebars that feature this particular content.

== Encyclopedia Dramatica and the Fandom ==

The site's material on furries is generally about the worst of the [[fandom]], and like most articles on the site, it is intentionally offensive, and many users do display strong anti-furry sentiment. However, not all of its users are [[anti-furry]], and ED claims it only makes broad generalizations of the [[furry fandom]] and portraits all furries as sexual deviants because it is, according to ED, far more humorous and interesting to read about something scandalous and shocking.<ref>[http://tinyurl.com/2v7vvs Furries welcome page on Encyclopedia Dramatica]</ref>

Furries are generally not picked out from the crowd when editing as long as they follow the site's policies and refrain from vandalizing.<ref>[http://tinyurl.com/2v7vvs Furries welcome page on Encyclopedia Dramatica]</ref> Besides criticizing the fandom in general, some furries use it to criticize specific individuals or groups, particularly ones whom they feel make furries look bad, or to make private drama very public and persistent.

Still other furries wish to put a redeemingly "fun spin" on an aspect of the fandom which could easily fall into disrepute or gain copious amounts of negative coverage. For instance, the furry [[author]] [[Royal-Sovereign]] wrote an extensive article on the [[Transformation]] fetish, which he has admitted to be one of his favourite sexual diversions. Rather than conform to the acerbic vitriol generally seen on the site, Royal-Sovereign utilised a distinctly tongue-in-cheek tone, satirising both the fetish and, therefore, himself:

{{quote|Like alcohol, transformation is a "gateway" drug (er, fetish) for people on the Internet, making normal people into zoophiles or worse, like finding newfound pleasure in bukkake or anal rape - all of which can be found in copious amounts throughout Transformation stories and art. Fapping too much to Transformation stuff can lead to horrifying self-discoveries about what turns you on sexually.|[[Royal-Sovereign]] a.k.a. RoyalShitbrick, "Transformation"}}

The wiki is often used as staging ground for massive trolling or spamming crusades against a certain furry deemed particularly perverted or offensive, and ED 'raids' have forced several furries to abandon accounts on [[Youtube]] and [[DeviantArt]] due to repeated spam barrages. Notable victims of this practice are '''InSaNe-REYNARD''' and [[Snapesnogger]], both artists who were driven off DeviantArt (and onto alternate accounts) after relentless [[troll]] and [[flame]] attacks.

== Controversy and criticism==
=== Drama ===

The most common criticism of Encyclopedia Dramatica is that its purpose of documenting drama often results in the promotion of drama, be it through invasions, pranks, reposting of sensitive information, or the very existence of an article on the site.

=== Copyright ===

The sensitive information that appears in ED articles is typically gathered from long-forgotten, obscure corners of the internet, and is usually upsetting to the subject, to the point of legal threats and action. Encyclopedia Dramatica relies on the satire and criticism fair use exception clauses of United States copyright law as a defense. Their [http://tinyurl.com/2lanph Arbchat procedure] is the sole method of information removal and revision that does not involve the legal system.

The website states that all content contributed is irrevocably "licensed for infinite use to Encyclopedia Dramatica, in electronic and all other media."<ref>[http://tinyurl.com/26p5l7 Encyclopedia Dramatica's copyright information]</ref>

=== Privacy ===

The site has an unwritten policy against revealing private information of those it satirizes. This is generally not applicable to public figures, and those whose information is well-known or easily obtainable -- especially if the resulting drama from inclusion is deemed funny. Despite the unwritten rule, private information on ordinary people is often revealed such as phone numbers and addresses if found.

Neon Tiger

2009-10-12T21:37:47Z

Royal Scottish:

[[image:NeonTiger.PNG|thumb|305px|right|'''Neon Tiger''', a renegade Reploid from ''Mega Man X3''.]]
'''Neon Tiger''', known as '''Shining Tigerd''' (シャイニング・タイガード) in [[Japan]], is a villian (or [[Wikipedia:Maverick|"Maverick"]]) in the 1995 [[Wikipedia:Super Nintendo|Super Nintendo]] videogame ''[[Wikipedia:Mega Man X3|Mega Man X3]]''.

Of the eight bosses found in the game, Neon Tiger is one of only three that are [[mammal|mammals]] -- the others being '''Blizzard Buffalo''' and '''Tunnel Rhino''' -- and the only boss in the ''[[Wikipedia:Mega Man X series|Mega Man X]]'' series for the Super Nintendo that is purely and recognisably [[feline]], in this case a [[tiger]].

Outside of his appearances in the ''Mega Man X'' series, Neon Tiger is also a cult favourite amongst many [[Furries]].

==Character History==
Neon Tiger is a [[Wikipedia:Reploid|Reploid]] (Repuriroido レプリロイド in the original [[Wikipedia:Japanese language|Japanese]]), that is, an android that has complete free will and thought-processes similar to [[human|humans]]. As with nearly all the chief Reploids throughout the ''Mega Man X'' series, he was given a design modelled after a wild [[animal]].

Furthermore, like many powerful Reploids (and their [[Wikipedia:Robot Master|Robot Master]] counterparts from earlier ''Mega Man'' games) Neon Tiger was built for a specific purpose: in his case, before contracting the "Maverick Virus" and rebelling (and hence becoming a villian character), he was a "forest guardian", a poacher-hunter designed to ensure no one harmed the wildlife in the [[Wikipedia:nature reserve|nature reserve]] he was apart of.

===Other appearances===
He reprises his role as a boss character in the [[Wikipedia:Game Boy Color|Game Boy Color]] game ''[[Wikipedia:Mega Man Xtreme 2|Mega Man Xtreme 2]]'', using a different weapon and with a simplified design -- per the graphic limitations of the GameBoy. He also cameoes in the ''Rockman X'' [[manga]].

==Design==
Despite being a "guardian of the forest", Neon Tiger's design (by [[Wikipedia:Keiji Inafune|Keiji Inafune]], who also designed the original [[Wikipedia:Mega Man|Mega Man]] character)
is extravagantly [[science fiction|sci-fi]]. He is clearly robotic, and studded with multi-coloured gem-like stones, although he clearly takes physical cues from his [[tiger]] origins, with [[muzzle|fangs]] and [[claw|claws]] (see below).

In addition, the manner in which Neon Tiger battles -- agile jumps, slashing claws -- resembles, to a degree, a tiger fighting in the wild.

===Weaponry===
Neon Tiger's primary weapon, and the one that [[Wikipedia:Mega Man X (character)|Mega Man X]] himself inherits upon defeating him in ''X3'', is called the '''Ray Splasher''', a rapidfire [[Wikipedia:plasma|plasma]] burst fired from his lightbulb-like [[tail]].

In addition, Neon Tiger possesses [[claw|claws]] (the '''Ray Claw''', featured prominently in ''Mega Man Xtreme 2'') which are made of constantly burning plasma, similar in shape -- albeit comprised of a different material -- to that of [[Wikipedia:Wolverine|Wolverine]] from ''[[Wikipedia:X-Men|X-Men]]''.

==Popularity==
For several reasons, Neon Tiger remains something of a cult figure within the ''Mega Man X'' canon, especially among fans in the [[Furry community]]. Several current [[Furries]] with characters based on tigers admit to tracing their origins to playing ''Mega Man X3'' and seeing Neon Tiger in action as children, while still others contend that Neon Tiger "helped along" their journeys of self-discovery as [[tiger]] furries.

Outside the [[Furry fandom]], Neon Tiger is known in circles of ''Mega Man X'' fans for the sheer difficulty in fighting him. The weapon obtained from him in ''X3'' is a vital tool to defeating other bosses, and for this reason many players will go after Neon Tiger first.

Another reason Neon Tiger has maintained popularity amongst the gallery of "Mavericks" in the ''Mega Man X'' canon is the music in his stage: an almost note-by-note cover of the [[Wikipedia:Guns N' Roses|Guns N'Roses]] song [[Wikipedia:My Michelle|"My Michelle"]].

Volk

2008-05-19T21:32:08Z

Royal Scottish: /* Personal life and hobbies */

[[image:FoxVolkTogether.png|thumb|200px|right|'''Volk''' (on right) pictured with his mate [[Royal-Sovereign]], as specially commissioned and drawn by [[Tiggstar]].]]
'''Volk''' (born [[Wikipedia:14 September|14th September]] [[Wikipedia:1989|1989]]) is a white [[wolf]] (Okami) [[Therian]] hailing from [[wikipedia:Florida|Florida]]. An active [[wikipedia:graphic artist|graphic artist]] and occasional [[wikipedia:poetry|poet]], he has been acknowledged as one of lead contributors (next to the author himself) to his mate [[Royal-Sovereign|Royal-Sovereign's]] novel ''[[Phillipe]]''.

He and Royal-Sovereign have been [[mated]] (married) since February of 2007.

==Name==
Volk's name directly originates from the [[Wikipedia:Russian language|Russian]] term for "wolf" -- Russian being one of his favourite foreign languages. Elsewhere, he is known as '''Zero''' (the English translation of the name of the character [[Wikipedia:Characters of Breath of Fire III#Rei|Rei]] from ''[[Wikipedia:Breath of Fire|Breath of Fire]]'') and '''Okami''', from the [[Wikipedia:Japanese Mythology|Japanese mythical]] wolf of the same name.

==Personal life and hobbies==
[[image:Morgan_the_white_bandit_by_SirPaulTheIII.jpg|thumb|240px|left|'''The White Bandit''', a gift-art piece for Volk, fancifully depicting his [[fursona]] in the style of ''[[Wikipedia:Fire Emblem|Fire Emblem]]'', by [[Sir Paul the III]].]]
In the past, Volk has done collaborations with other [[Furry]] artists, assisting with colouration and line-art, as well as composing [[Wikipedia:poetry|poetry]] which he derives from [[Wikipedia:mood|moods]], emotion, and [[Wikipedia:nature|Nature]].

Volk's other main artistic outlet is in the field of [[Wikipedia:abstract art|abstract]] [[Wikipedia:digital art|digital artwork]], using programs such as [[Wikipedia:Terragen|Terragen]] and [[Wikipedia:Cinema 4D|Cinema 4D]] to create hypnotic, psychedelic landscapes and visuals.

An avid [[wikipedia:gamer|gamer]] whose taste encompasses many genre's of videogames, Volk has described himself as a big fan of both classic titles (as a [[Wikipedia:retrogaming|retrogamer]]), next-gen consoles like the [[Wikipedia:Nintendo|Nintendo]] [[Wikipedia:Wii|Wii]], [[Wikipedia:XBox360|Xbox360]], and the older [[wikipedia:PS2|PS2]]. Amongst his favourite series of games are ''[[Wikipedia:Resident Evil|Resident Evil]]'', ''[[Wikipedia:Final Fantasy|Final Fantasy]]'', ''[[Wikipedia:.hack//G.U.|.hack//G.U.]]'', and ''[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda|Zelda]]'' -- the most recent installment of which, ''[[Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', struck something of a chord, as a key feature to the game involves the hero [[Wikipedia:Link|Link's]] ability to [[lycanthropy|transform into a wolf]].

==Marcus Wittelsbach==
Volk lent his physical appearances, and certain exaggerated aspects of his personality, to the genesis of the character of '''Marcus Wittelsbach''' in ''[[Phillipe]]''. The character's creation was the fulfillment of Royal-Sovereign's promise to include Volk in his novel-project as a [[character]] (although the two were not mated at the time).

Like Volk himself in real life, Marcus is a diminutive but somewhat scrawny white wolf with long, silvery-blonde hair. True to form, also, Marcus is described as very shy -- a trait Volk has acknowledged himself to have. His exact physical makeup, as he appears in the book, is identical to the portrait that Royal had commissioned [[Tiggstar]] to do of he and Volk in [[fursona]] form -- note the above illustration.

Starting out as mostly a plot device in one of the later storylines to the book, Marcus's role in ''Phillipe'' has steadily grown (reflecting the growth of Royal and Volk's relationship), until his presence in the work became an undeniably pivotal one, as a member of the cast of eight main characters.

Marcus features heavily as the closest companion (and secret mate) to Royal's "other literary alter-ego" -- Phillipe himself being the first -- Jack Turing, one of Phillipe's best friends. The saga of Jack and Marcus's hidden-in-plain-sight love affair forms one of the key plot points of the book.

Volk himself has contributed a great deal to the future content of ''Phillipe'', including the full formulation of an entire storyline which Royal has confirmed will be written out, virtually unchanged.

Royal Scottish:

[[image:Tiggstar_ref_sheet.jpg|thumb|280px|right|A reference sheet for '''Tiggstar's''' [[fursona]], '''Tiggs'''.]]
'''Tiggstar''' is an [[anthro]] [[artist]] from [[Wikipedia:Ottawa, Ontario|Ottawa, Ontario]], Canada. Her [[fursona]], '''Tiggs''', is a [[dog]]-[[raccoon]] [[hybrid]].

As an anthro artist, Tiggstar has partially completed a comic-project entitled ''Later Days'', production of which has recently been put on hiatus.

She was recently chosen to be the "official illustrator" of her good friend [[Royal-Sovereign]]'s ''[[Phillipe]]'' project. She is also currently the only artist the latter officially sanctions to draw his fursona (excluding gift-art from others).

==Non-anthro works==

Along with ''Later Days'', Tiggstar has made public plans for a full-on [[manga]] work, ''Dream Catcher'', which she has already produced several character designs for.

An avid [[anime]] and [[manga]] fan, Tiggstar also does various [[fanart]] of the ''[[Wikipedia:Naruto|Naruto]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:Bleach (manga)|Bleach]]'' series.

Much of the style of her own work, both anthro and otherwise, has been attributed to the influence of these manga and anime.

Amongst his favourite series of games are ''[[Wikipedia:Resident Evil|Resident Evil]]'', ''[[Wikipedia:Final Fantasy|Final Fantasy]]'', ''[[Wikipedia:.hack//G.U.|.hack//G.U.]]'', and ''[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda|Zelda]]'' -- the most recent installment of which, ''[[Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', struck something of a chord, as a key feature to the game involves the hero [[Wikipedia:Link|Link's]] ability to [[lycanthropy|transform into a wolf]].

Maintaining a life-long interest in computers and technology, Volk plans to attend [[Wikipedia:Radford University|Radford University]] as a [[Wikipedia:computer science|computer science]] major in the Fall of 2008.

==Marcus Wittelsbach==
Volk lent his physical appearances, and certain exaggerated aspects of his personality, to the genesis of the character of '''Marcus Wittelsbach''' in ''[[Phillipe]]''. The character's creation was the fulfillment of Royal-Sovereign's promise to include Volk in his novel-project as a [[character]] (although the two were not mated at the time).

Like Volk himself in real life, Marcus is a diminutive but somewhat scrawny white wolf with long, silvery-blonde hair. True to form, also, Marcus is described as very shy -- a trait Volk has acknowledged himself to have. His exact physical makeup, as he appears in the book, is identical to the portrait that Royal had commissioned [[Tiggstar]] to do of he and Volk in [[fursona]] form -- note the above illustration.

Starting out as mostly a plot device in one of the later storylines to the book, Marcus's role in ''Phillipe'' has steadily grown (reflecting the growth of Royal and Volk's relationship), until his presence in the work became an undeniably pivotal one, as a member of the cast of eight main characters.

Marcus features heavily as the closest companion (and secret mate) to Royal's "other literary alter-ego" -- Phillipe himself being the first -- Jack Turing, one of Phillipe's best friends. The saga of Jack and Marcus's hidden-in-plain-sight love affair forms one of the key plot points of the book.

Volk himself has contributed a great deal to the future content of ''Phillipe'', including the full formulation of an entire storyline which Royal has confirmed will be written out, virtually unchanged.

Darwin's Fox

2007-11-30T20:09:25Z

Royal Scottish:

[[Image:Darwin's_Fox.jpg|right|thumb|220px|A Darwin's Fox in its natural habitat.]]
'''Darwin's Fox''' or '''Darwin's Zorro''' (''Pseudalopex fulvipes'') is a small [[Wikipedia:endangered species|endangered]] canine from the genus ''[[Wikipedia:Pseudalopex|Pseudalopex]]''. Darwin's Fox was first collected from [[Wikipedia:Chiloé Island|Chiloé Island]] off the coast of [[Wikipedia:Chile|Chile]] by the famous naturalist [[Wikipedia:Charles Darwin|Charles Darwin]] in 1834. It was long held that Darwin's Fox was a subspecies of the [[Wikipedia:Chilla|Chilla]] (''P. griseus''); however, the discovery of a small population of Darwin's Fox on the mainland in [[Wikipedia:Nahuelbuta National Park|Nahuelbuta National Park]] in 1990 and subsequent genetic analysis has clarified the fox's status as a unique species.

==Taxonomy and Evolution==

Pseudaloplex is a South American genus of canine distantly related to wolves and is technically not a fox. When Charles Darwin collected a specimen from Chiloé Island, he observed that it was distinct from the species, P. culpaeus and P. griseus, that occur on the mainland. Darwin's Fox does not interbreed with the other Pseudalopex species, only lives in forests, and is smaller and darker-colored than the other species. It was not until a small population of Darwin's Fox was found on the mainland in the forested Nahuelbuta National Park and subsequent genetic analysis was performed, that the Darwin's Fox was confirmed as a distinct species.

In the late Pleistocene, Chiloé Island was connected to mainland Chile by a land bridge. The land bridge was severed about 15,000 years ago when the sea level rose following the last glaciation. This created two isolated populations of Darwin's Fox.

==Physical Description==

Darwin's fox has a dark brown coat with red areas on its head and face, and it has shorter legs than the mainland foxes, and weighs 2-4 kg, much smaller than the P. griseus which weighs between 5-10 kg.

==Ecology==

Darwin's fox is generally believed to be a forest obligate species found only in southern temperate rainforests. They only occur in forested areas on Chiloé and on the mainland. They are most active at twilight and before sunrise.

==Conservation Status==

It is believed that there are only 250 Darwin's foxes on Chiloé Island and up to 70 on the mainland, and they are listed as critically endangered by the World Conservation Union. Fragmentation of forest adjacent to National Parks is a concern for their conservation and dogs in the Parks may be the greatest conservation threat in the form of potential vectors of disease or direct attack.

Fritzy Wolf

2007-11-30T16:26:26Z

Royal Scottish: /* Music */

[[Image:Fritzywolf_fritzycirca_bygm.jpg|right|frame|Fritzy and Circa by [[Grant the GM]]]]
'''Fritzy Wolf''' is a 19 year old [[gay]] male, gray [[wolf]] living in the [[Wikipedia:Chicago|Chicago]] suburb of [[Wikipedia:Winfield, Illinois|Winfield]]. His history with the furry fandom dates back to approximately September 2004, when Fritzy discovered his first furry forum, [[Yiffstar]], and took interest. However his interest in animalism and anthropomorphics dates back much further. For some years before discovering the furry fandom, Fritzy took interest in [[Wikipedia:Chocobo|Chocobos]] and fancied himself a character as one. Fritzy's history with [[LAFF]] however, dates back to approximately November 2004, wherein Fritzy first joined the mailing list and attended his first furry convention, [[Midwest Furfest]]. Also in November of 2004, shortly after MFF, Fritzy met [[Circa Fox]], a Michigan fur. The two have been together ever since, and on January 1st 2007 at the [[LAFF New Years]] party, Fritzy proposed to Circa. Fritzy spent the summer of 2007 living with Circa and his mother in [[Wikipedia:Pinckney, Michigan|Pinckney, Michigan]]. The two hope to find an apartment together sometime in early 2008.

==Character==

Fritzy represents himself as Fritzy Wolf, a male gray wolf of approximately the same age as him. His bloodline is 7/8 [[wolf]], and 1/8 [[coyote]]. His most identifying mark is the three dark gray stripes on his muzzle, alternating from right, to left, to right. He also has white chin, chest fur, and tail tip, a dark gray right foot paw, light gray left foot paw, and diamond markings on his forearms and back. Also dark gray cheek and shoulder patches, brown eyes, and dark head fur. This [[fursona]] has evolved slightly since it's original creation in 2004, however it has always maintained the the gray wolf species and the 3 alternating muzzle stripes.
===Fritzkrieg===
'''Fritzkrieg''' is Fritzy's superhero alter-ego, who harnesses the power of [[Wikipedia:lightning|lightning]]. His arch-nemesis is '''Ransom''', who uses fire.

==Fursuiting==
Fritzy began his [[fursuit|fursuiting]] career with nothing more than a [[tail]]. His first tail, made in 2004 by Ecostar Wolf, was used for three years before Fritzy finally made a new one for himself.
[[Image:Fritzywolf_fritzyhead.jpg|right|frame|The head of Fritzy Wolf's fursuit.]]
In more recent months (as of 2007) Fritzy has taken an interest in more complete fursuiting. In 2006 Fritzy and Circa Fox worked together to build their first fursuit for Circa. The suit was a yellow fox partially consisting of a head, hand paws, and a tail. Shortly thereafter, Fritzy began work on his own fursuit. Using built-up foam construction in a method commonly known as the toaster-head technique, Fritzy carved his own fursuit head. However, due to lack of materials, funding, and dedication, upon completion of the carving, the head remained untouched and unfinished for nearly a year.

It wasn't until Fritzy met up with [[Lucky Coyote]] in 2007 that the head was finally completed. Lucky finished all the furring and detailing of Fritzy's head, and Fritzy soon plans to finish his own paws and feet. Fritzy also has plans of collaborating with Lucky and [[Skuff Coyote]] in [[Don't Hug Cacti Studios]], a professional fursuiting production studio. During the summer of 2007, Fritzy worked together with his mate [[Circa]] to turn the latter's partial suit into a full one, debuting initially at [[Anthrocon]], and again with revisions later that year at [[Mephit Furmeet]].

==Body of work==

===Art===
[[Image:Fritzywolf_ransom_byfritzyw.jpg|left|frame|'''Ransom Fox''', an example of Fritzy's artwork.]]

====Furry art====

Since joining the fandom, Fritzy has taken a large interest in [[anthropomorphic]] artwork, and has thusly decided to take it upon himself to try and create some of his own. Fritzy has been drawing furries for about 3 years, and is slowly but consistently developing and bettering his style. Almost all of Fritzy's artwork before 2007 was done in ink and [[Wikipedia:Prismacolor|Prismacolor]] Pencils. Since 2007 however, Fritzy has been using mostly Prismacolor Markers with Prismacolor Pencil accents. Fritzy has also been known to work in chalk pastel, usually on a large scale, however such pieces are only done on special request and take some time to complete. Fritzy is always open for [[art trade|art trades]], [[commission|commissions]], and [[conbadge|conbadges]].

====Non-Furry art====

Beyond his Furry artwork, Fritzy also studies a variety of other subjects ranging from abstract collages to nature illustration to still life. Examples of this work is not available online, nor is it ever really seen by anyone. Fritzy tends to keep such pieces stashed under his bed, as they are mostly for development of style, technique, and observational skills. Fritzy does these pieces in a wide variety of mediums, charcoal being likely the most prominent. The majority of Fritzy's non-anthropomorphic art, however, resides in the medium of architecture, which he studies at great lengths at the [[Wikipedia:College of DuPage|College of DuPage]].

===Poetry===

Fritzy takes a very avid and professional interest in [[Wikipedia:poetry|poetry]]. He began writing in 2004, and has since never stopped. Very little if any of Fritzy's poetry reflects the furry fandom, instead focusing its direction on other important and influential parts and observations of Fritzy's life. In his Junior year of [[Wikipedia:Wheaton North High School|High School]], Fritzy joined the school's literary review club, Déjà Vú. This club was a forum for reviewing and discussing student poetry, and greatly spurred and encouraged Fritzy's early poetic development. By his Senior year, Fritzy was co-chair of the club. Around this time Fritzy also met [[Morris Stegosaurus]], a Chicago fur very active in the poetry scene. Fritzy has taken a great deal of inspiration and encouragement from Morris, and began attending a monthly poetry and spoken-word venue in [[Wikipedia:Chicago|Chicago]] called the Urban Sandbox. More recently Fritzy has been unable to attend the Urban Sandbox due to scheduling conflicts, but has never stopped writing. Up-to-date archives of his work can be found in his poetry-only livejournal, [http://poetaster_fritz.livejournal.com/ Poetaster_Fritz].

==Fritzy Wolf and babyfurs==

[[Image:Fritzywolf_fritzycirca_bymarci.jpg|right|frame|Fritzy with Circa as a [[babyfur]], by [[Marci McAdam]].]]
In 2006, Fritzy's mate Circa came out to him as a [[babyfur]]. Originally taken slightly aback, Fritzy has since learned to love and embrace this special part of the furry fandom. Fritzy's relationship as [[caretaker]] to his mate has strengthened and expanded their relationship, and he now greatly enjoys the caretaker role. Fritzy has only experimented slightly with [[ageplay]] himself, and is still unsure if playing a cub role is right for him. Fritzy has recently become more adept at drawing babyfur artwork, and is now available for cub style commissions.

==Interests==

Fritzy also takes interest in such things as [[Wikipedia:Apple Inc.|Apple computers]], [[DDR]]/[[Wikipedia:In the Groove (video game)|ITG]], and outdoor [[Wikipedia:Camping|camping]]. In the world of computers Fritzy swears a strict allegiance to Apple, and has been using them since he first learned to type. His first computer was an [[Wikipedia:Apple IIe|Apple IIe]], later a [[Wikipedia:Macintosh Performa|Macintosh Performa]], then an original [[Wikipedia:Bondi blue|Bondi Blue]] [[Wikipedia:iMac G3|iMac G3]]. He now proudly owns an [[Wikipedia:iMac G5|iMac G5]]. Fritzy hopes to soon acquire a [[Wikipedia:PowerBook G4|PowerBook]] when budget allots for it. Fritzy has been playing DDR for a few years, and has now worked himself up to 8-10 level difficulty. He has recently taken to creating his own songs in [[Wikipedia:StepMania|Step Mania]], and plays them on the In the Groove 2 arcade machine. Fritzy was also a member of the [[Wikipedia:Boy Scouts of America|Boy Scouts of America]] since he joined [[Wikipedia:Cub Scouting (Boy Scouts of America)|Tiger Cubs]] as a child. He worked his was up the ranks and ended his scouting career as a Life Scout, only steps away from [[Wikipedia:Eagle Scout (Boy Scouts of America)|Eagle]]. Near the end of his scouting career Fritzy outed himself about his homosexuality, and had issues maintaining his standing and dropped out of the program. However he holds no resentment toward the BSA, as it has presented him with a plethora of knowledge and life experience he would have been hard pressed to gain elsewhere. He has been on 5 high adventure trips, including a trail camp in [[Wikipedia:West Virginia|West Virginia]], the Boundary Waters of [[Wikipedia:Minnesota|Minnesota]], [[Wikipedia:Philmont Scout Ranch|Philmont Scout Ranch]] in [[Wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]] twice, and the Essex 2005 international Jamboree in [[Wikipedia:Essex|Essex]], England. Fritzy hopes to one day return to Philmont as a trail ranger one summer.

===Music===

Early on, Fritzy took very little interest in the musical arts. During middle school he played the [[Wikipedia:trumpet|trumpet]], and later the [[Wikipedia:euphonium|euphonium]], but quit band after his first semester of high school. Around this time, Fritzy [[Image:Fritzywolf_fritzywolf_byminch.jpg|left|thumb|130px|Fritzy Wolf and his iPod, by [[Mary Minch]].]]listened primarily to a few bands his friends had recommended to him, and a lot of [[Wikipedia:techno|Techno]].

It wasn't until meeting his mate [[Circa Fox]] that Fritzy can truly to be said to begin expanding his musical horizons. It was Circa whom introduced Fritzy to [[Wikipedia:Classic Rock|Classic Rock]], giving him a new appreciation, great admiration, and respect for the genre. Fritzy, resultantly, has since began listening to as much [[Wikipedia:1960s|60's]], [[Wikipedia:1970s|70's]], and [[Wikipedia:1980s|80's]] Rock as he can get his paws on.

Amongst his favourite bands are [[Wikipedia:The Doors|The Doors]], [[Wikipedia:Van Halen|Van Halen]], [[Wikipedia:Motley Crue|Mötley Crüe]], and [[Wikipedia:Styx (band)|Styx]], to name just a few. Fritzy has expressed a general dislike for most modern music. While there are some modern bands he finds appealing, very little of it moves and empowers him like the classic guitar riffs of yore.

Fritzy has extended this musical interest into his fursona, and done Rock music themed pictures and requested commissions. Fritzy is rarely seen without his [[Wikipedia:iPod|iPod]], and can almost always be found listening to his classical rock playlist.

Fritzy Wolf

2007-11-30T16:21:21Z

Royal Scottish: /* Music */

[[Image:Fritzywolf_fritzycirca_bygm.jpg|right|frame|Fritzy and Circa by [[Grant the GM]]]]
'''Fritzy Wolf''' is a 19 year old [[gay]] male, gray [[wolf]] living in the [[Wikipedia:Chicago|Chicago]] suburb of [[Wikipedia:Winfield, Illinois|Winfield]]. His history with the furry fandom dates back to approximately September 2004, when Fritzy discovered his first furry forum, [[Yiffstar]], and took interest. However his interest in animalism and anthropomorphics dates back much further. For some years before discovering the furry fandom, Fritzy took interest in [[Wikipedia:Chocobo|Chocobos]] and fancied himself a character as one. Fritzy's history with [[LAFF]] however, dates back to approximately November 2004, wherein Fritzy first joined the mailing list and attended his first furry convention, [[Midwest Furfest]]. Also in November of 2004, shortly after MFF, Fritzy met [[Circa Fox]], a Michigan fur. The two have been together ever since, and on January 1st 2007 at the [[LAFF New Years]] party, Fritzy proposed to Circa. Fritzy spent the summer of 2007 living with Circa and his mother in [[Wikipedia:Pinckney, Michigan|Pinckney, Michigan]]. The two hope to find an apartment together sometime in early 2008.

==Character==

Fritzy represents himself as Fritzy Wolf, a male gray wolf of approximately the same age as him. His bloodline is 7/8 [[wolf]], and 1/8 [[coyote]]. His most identifying mark is the three dark gray stripes on his muzzle, alternating from right, to left, to right. He also has white chin, chest fur, and tail tip, a dark gray right foot paw, light gray left foot paw, and diamond markings on his forearms and back. Also dark gray cheek and shoulder patches, brown eyes, and dark head fur. This [[fursona]] has evolved slightly since it's original creation in 2004, however it has always maintained the the gray wolf species and the 3 alternating muzzle stripes.
===Fritzkrieg===
'''Fritzkrieg''' is Fritzy's superhero alter-ego, who harnesses the power of [[Wikipedia:lightning|lightning]]. His arch-nemesis is '''Ransom''', who uses fire.

==Fursuiting==
Fritzy began his [[fursuit|fursuiting]] career with nothing more than a [[tail]]. His first tail, made in 2004 by Ecostar Wolf, was used for three years before Fritzy finally made a new one for himself.
[[Image:Fritzywolf_fritzyhead.jpg|right|frame|The head of Fritzy Wolf's fursuit.]]
In more recent months (as of 2007) Fritzy has taken an interest in more complete fursuiting. In 2006 Fritzy and Circa Fox worked together to build their first fursuit for Circa. The suit was a yellow fox partially consisting of a head, hand paws, and a tail. Shortly thereafter, Fritzy began work on his own fursuit. Using built-up foam construction in a method commonly known as the toaster-head technique, Fritzy carved his own fursuit head. However, due to lack of materials, funding, and dedication, upon completion of the carving, the head remained untouched and unfinished for nearly a year.

It wasn't until Fritzy met up with [[Lucky Coyote]] in 2007 that the head was finally completed. Lucky finished all the furring and detailing of Fritzy's head, and Fritzy soon plans to finish his own paws and feet. Fritzy also has plans of collaborating with Lucky and [[Skuff Coyote]] in [[Don't Hug Cacti Studios]], a professional fursuiting production studio. During the summer of 2007, Fritzy worked together with his mate [[Circa]] to turn the latter's partial suit into a full one, debuting initially at [[Anthrocon]], and again with revisions later that year at [[Mephit Furmeet]].

==Body of work==

===Art===
[[Image:Fritzywolf_ransom_byfritzyw.jpg|left|frame|'''Ransom Fox''', an example of Fritzy's artwork.]]

====Furry art====

Since joining the fandom, Fritzy has taken a large interest in [[anthropomorphic]] artwork, and has thusly decided to take it upon himself to try and create some of his own. Fritzy has been drawing furries for about 3 years, and is slowly but consistently developing and bettering his style. Almost all of Fritzy's artwork before 2007 was done in ink and [[Wikipedia:Prismacolor|Prismacolor]] Pencils. Since 2007 however, Fritzy has been using mostly Prismacolor Markers with Prismacolor Pencil accents. Fritzy has also been known to work in chalk pastel, usually on a large scale, however such pieces are only done on special request and take some time to complete. Fritzy is always open for [[art trade|art trades]], [[commission|commissions]], and [[conbadge|conbadges]].

====Non-Furry art====

Beyond his Furry artwork, Fritzy also studies a variety of other subjects ranging from abstract collages to nature illustration to still life. Examples of this work is not available online, nor is it ever really seen by anyone. Fritzy tends to keep such pieces stashed under his bed, as they are mostly for development of style, technique, and observational skills. Fritzy does these pieces in a wide variety of mediums, charcoal being likely the most prominent. The majority of Fritzy's non-anthropomorphic art, however, resides in the medium of architecture, which he studies at great lengths at the [[Wikipedia:College of DuPage|College of DuPage]].

===Poetry===

Fritzy takes a very avid and professional interest in [[Wikipedia:poetry|poetry]]. He began writing in 2004, and has since never stopped. Very little if any of Fritzy's poetry reflects the furry fandom, instead focusing its direction on other important and influential parts and observations of Fritzy's life. In his Junior year of [[Wikipedia:Wheaton North High School|High School]], Fritzy joined the school's literary review club, Déjà Vú. This club was a forum for reviewing and discussing student poetry, and greatly spurred and encouraged Fritzy's early poetic development. By his Senior year, Fritzy was co-chair of the club. Around this time Fritzy also met [[Morris Stegosaurus]], a Chicago fur very active in the poetry scene. Fritzy has taken a great deal of inspiration and encouragement from Morris, and began attending a monthly poetry and spoken-word venue in [[Wikipedia:Chicago|Chicago]] called the Urban Sandbox. More recently Fritzy has been unable to attend the Urban Sandbox due to scheduling conflicts, but has never stopped writing. Up-to-date archives of his work can be found in his poetry-only livejournal, [http://poetaster_fritz.livejournal.com/ Poetaster_Fritz].

==Fritzy Wolf and babyfurs==

[[Image:Fritzywolf_fritzycirca_bymarci.jpg|right|frame|Fritzy with Circa as a [[babyfur]], by [[Marci McAdam]].]]
In 2006, Fritzy's mate Circa came out to him as a [[babyfur]]. Originally taken slightly aback, Fritzy has since learned to love and embrace this special part of the furry fandom. Fritzy's relationship as [[caretaker]] to his mate has strengthened and expanded their relationship, and he now greatly enjoys the caretaker role. Fritzy has only experimented slightly with [[ageplay]] himself, and is still unsure if playing a cub role is right for him. Fritzy has recently become more adept at drawing babyfur artwork, and is now available for cub style commissions.

==Interests==

Fritzy also takes interest in such things as [[Wikipedia:Apple Inc.|Apple computers]], [[DDR]]/[[Wikipedia:In the Groove (video game)|ITG]], and outdoor [[Wikipedia:Camping|camping]]. In the world of computers Fritzy swears a strict allegiance to Apple, and has been using them since he first learned to type. His first computer was an [[Wikipedia:Apple IIe|Apple IIe]], later a [[Wikipedia:Macintosh Performa|Macintosh Performa]], then an original [[Wikipedia:Bondi blue|Bondi Blue]] [[Wikipedia:iMac G3|iMac G3]]. He now proudly owns an [[Wikipedia:iMac G5|iMac G5]]. Fritzy hopes to soon acquire a [[Wikipedia:PowerBook G4|PowerBook]] when budget allots for it. Fritzy has been playing DDR for a few years, and has now worked himself up to 8-10 level difficulty. He has recently taken to creating his own songs in [[Wikipedia:StepMania|Step Mania]], and plays them on the In the Groove 2 arcade machine. Fritzy was also a member of the [[Wikipedia:Boy Scouts of America|Boy Scouts of America]] since he joined [[Wikipedia:Cub Scouting (Boy Scouts of America)|Tiger Cubs]] as a child. He worked his was up the ranks and ended his scouting career as a Life Scout, only steps away from [[Wikipedia:Eagle Scout (Boy Scouts of America)|Eagle]]. Near the end of his scouting career Fritzy outed himself about his homosexuality, and had issues maintaining his standing and dropped out of the program. However he holds no resentment toward the BSA, as it has presented him with a plethora of knowledge and life experience he would have been hard pressed to gain elsewhere. He has been on 5 high adventure trips, including a trail camp in [[Wikipedia:West Virginia|West Virginia]], the Boundary Waters of [[Wikipedia:Minnesota|Minnesota]], [[Wikipedia:Philmont Scout Ranch|Philmont Scout Ranch]] in [[Wikipedia:New Mexico|New Mexico]] twice, and the Essex 2005 international Jamboree in [[Wikipedia:Essex|Essex]], England. Fritzy hopes to one day return to Philmont as a trail ranger one summer.

===Music===

Early on, Fritzy took very little interest in the musical arts. During middle school he played the trumpet, [[Image:Fritzywolf_fritzywolf_byminch.jpg|right|thumb|140px|Fritzy Wolf and his iPod, by [[Mary Minch]].]]and later the euphonium, but quit band after his first semester of high school. Around this time, Fritzy listened primarily to a few bands his friends had recommended to him, and a lot of [[Wikipedia:techno|Techno]].

It wasn't until meeting his mate [[Circa Fox]] that Fritzy can truly to be said to begin expanding his musical horizons. It was Circa whom introduced Fritzy to [[Wikipedia:Classic Rock|Classic Rock]], giving him a new appreciation, great admiration, and respect for the genre. Fritzy, resultantly, has since began listening to as much [[Wikipedia:1960s|60's]], [[Wikipedia:1970s|70's]], and [[Wikipedia:1980s|80's]] Rock as he can get his paws on.

Amongst his favourite bands are [[Wikipedia:The Doors|The Doors]], [[Wikipedia:Van Halen|Van Halen]], [[Wikipedia:Motley Crue|Mötley Crüe]], and [[Wikipedia:Styx (band)|Styx]], to name just a few.

Fritzy has a general dislike for most modern music. While there are some modern bands he finds appealing, very little of it moves and empowers him like the classic guitar riffs of yore. Fritzy has extended this musical interest into his fursona, and done rock-music-themed pictures and requested commissions. Fritzy is rarely without his [[Wikipedia:iPod|iPod]], and can almost always be found listening to his classical rock playlist. His iPod currently sports over 3,500 songs, and the collection continues to grow.

===Conventions===
Fritzy attends [[Midwest Furfest]] and [[Mephit Furmeet]]. He has also attended Ohio [[Morphicon]], [[Wikipedia:Anime Central|Anime Central]], and [[Anthrocon]]. In 2007 Fritzy hosted the Iron Artist panel at MFM, and plans to host it at MFF.

==Personal info==

Fritzy currently lives with his mother and mentally handicapped brother Michael in [[Wikipedia:Winfield, Illinois|Winfield, Illinois]]. Fritzy's father passed away in 2004, and his other brother Thom lives separately.

===Academics===

Fritzy is a Pre-[[Wikipedia:Architecture|Architecture]] student at [[Wikipedia:College of DuPage|College of DuPage]] in [[Wikipedia:Glen Ellyn, Illinois|Glen Ellyn, Illinois]].

===Occupation===

Fritzy has in the past worked as a Camp Counselor for 2 years at [[Wikipedia:Camp Napowan|Camp Napowan]] in [[Wikipedia:Wild Rose, Wisconsin|Wild Rose, Wisconsin]].

This job was short lived, however, for when the end of the summer came Fritzy resigned and moved back to Illinois. Fritzy currently works as a freight unloader at a [[Wikipedia:Kohl's|Kohl's]] department store.

Volk

2007-10-30T22:10:36Z

Royal Scottish:

[[image:FoxVolkTogether.png|thumb|200px|right|'''Volk''' (on right) pictured with his mate [[Royal-Sovereign]], as specially commissioned and drawn by [[Tiggstar]].]]
'''Volk''' is a white [[wolf]] (Okami) [[Therian]] hailing from [[wikipedia:Florida|Florida]]. An active [[wikipedia:graphic artist|graphic artist]] and occasional [[wikipedia:poetry|poet]], he has been acknowledged as one of lead contributors (next to the author himself) to his mate [[Royal-Sovereign|Royal-Sovereign's]] novel ''[[Phillipe]]''.

He and Royal-Sovereign have been [[mated]] (married) since February of 2007.

==Name==
Volk's name directly originates from the [[Wikipedia:Russian language|Russian]] term for "wolf" -- Russian being one of his favourite foreign languages. Elsewhere, he is known as '''Zero''' (the English translation of the name of the character [[Wikipedia:Rei (Breath of Fire)|'''Rei''']] from ''[[Wikipedia:Breath of Fire|Breath of Fire]]'') and '''Okami''', from the [[Wikipedia:Japanese Mythology|Japanese mythical]] wolf of the same name.

==Hobbies==
[[image:Morgan_the_white_bandit_by_SirPaulTheIII.jpg|thumb|240px|left|'''The White Bandit''', a gift-art piece for Volk, fancifully depicting his fursona in the style of ''[[Wikipedia:Fire Emblem|Fire Emblem]]'', by [[Sir Paul the III]].]]
In the past, Volk has done collaborations with other [[Furry]] artists, assisting with colouration and line-art, as well as composing [[Wikipedia:poetry|poetry]] which he derives from [[Wikipedia:mood|moods]], emotion, and [[Wikipedia:nature|Nature]].

Volk's other main artistic outlet is in the field of [[Wikipedia:abstract art|abstract]] [[Wikipedia:digital art|digital artwork]], using programs such as [[Wikipedia:Terragen|Terragen]] and [[Wikipedia:Cinema 4D|Cinema 4D]] to create hypnotic and psychedelic landscapes and visuals.

An avid [[wikipedia:gamer|gamer]] whose taste encompasses many genre's of videogames, Volk has described himself as a big fan of both classic titles (as a [[Wikipedia:retrogaming|retrogamer]]), next-gen consoles like the [[Wikipedia:Nintendo|Nintendo]] [[Wikipedia:Wii|Wii]], [[Wikipedia:XBox360|Xbox360]], and the older [[wikipedia:PS2|PS2]]. Amongst his favourite series of games are ''[[Wikipedia:Resident Evil|Resident Evil]]'', ''[[Wikipedia:Final Fantasy|Final Fantasy]]'', ''[[Wikipedia:.hack//G.U.|.hack//G.U.]]'', and ''[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda|Zelda]]'' -- the most recent installment of which, ''[[Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', struck something of a chord, as a key feature to the game involves the hero [[Wikipedia:Link|Link's]] ability to [[lycanthropy|transform into a wolf]].

==Marcus Wittelsbach==
Volk lent his physical appearances, and certain exaggerated aspects of his personality, to the genesis of the character of '''Marcus Wittelsbach''' in ''[[Phillipe]]''. The character's creation was the fulfillment of Royal-Sovereign's promise to include Volk in his novel-project as a [[character]] (although the two were not mated at the time).

Like Volk himself in real life, Marcus is a diminutive but somewhat scrawny white wolf with long, silvery-blonde hair. True to form, also, Marcus is described as very shy -- a trait Volk has acknowledged himself to have. His exact physical makeup, as he appears in the book, is identical to the portrait that Royal had commissioned [[Tiggstar]] to do of he and Volk in [[fursona]] form -- note the above illustration.

Starting out as mostly a plot device in one of the later storylines to the book, Marcus's role in ''Phillipe'' has steadily grown (reflecting the growth of Royal and Volk's relationship), until his presence in the work became an undeniably pivotal one, as a member of the cast of eight main characters.

Marcus features heavily as the closest companion (and secret mate) to Royal's "other literary alter-ego" -- Phillipe himself being the first -- Jack Turing, one of Phillipe's best friends. The saga of Jack and Marcus's hidden-in-plain-sight love affair forms one of the key plot points of the book.

Volk himself has contributed a great deal to the future content of ''Phillipe'', including the full formulation of an entire storyline which Royal has confirmed will be written out, virtually unchanged.

Marcus features heavily as the closest companion (and secret mate) to Royal's "other literary alter-ego" -- Phillipe himself being the first -- Jack Turing, one of Phillipe's best friends. The saga of Jack and Marcus's hidden-in-plain-sight love affair forms one of the key plot points of the book.

Volk himself has contributed a great deal to the future content of ''Phillipe'', including the full formulation of an entire storyline which Royal has confirmed will be written out, virtually unchanged.

Royal Scottish: Major Additions

'''Volk''' is a white [[wolf]] (Okami) [[Therian]] hailing from [[wikipedia:Florida|Florida]], who is an active [[wikipedia:graphic artist|graphic artist]] and occasional [[wikipedia:poetry|poet]].

He is mated (married) to [[Royal-Sovereign]].

==Name==
Volk's name directly originates from the [[Wikipedia:Russian language|Russian]] term for "wolf" -- Russian being one of his favourite foreign languages. Elsewhere, he is known as '''Zero''' (the English translation of the name of the character [[Wikipedia:Rei (Breath of Fire)|'''Rei''']] from ''[[Wikipedia:Breath of Fire|Breath of Fire]]'') and '''Okami''', from the [[Wikipedia:Japanese Mythology|Japanese mythical]] wolf of the same name.

==Hobbies==

In the past, Volk has done collaborations with other [[Furry]] artists, assisting with colouration and line-art, as well as composing [[Wikipedia:poetry|poetry]] which he derives from [[Wikipedia:mood|moods]], emotion, and nature.

An avid [[wikipedia:gamer|gamer]], Volk has described himself as a big fan of both classic titles (as a [[Wikipedia:retrogaming|retrogamer]]) and next-gen consoles like the [[Wikipedia:Nintendo|Nintendo]] [[Wikipedia:Wii|Wii]]. Amongst his favourite series of games are ''[[Wikipedia:Resident Evil|Resident Evil]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda|Zelda]]'' -- the most recent installment of which, ''[[Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', struck something of a chord, as a key feature to the game involves the hero [[Wikipedia:Link|Link's]] ability to [[lycanthropy|transform into a wolf]].

==Marcus Wittelsbach==
Volk lent his physical appearances, and certain exaggerated aspects of his personality, to the genesis of the character of '''Marcus Wittelsbach''' in ''[[Phillipe]]''. The character's creation was the fulfillment of Royal-Sovereign's promise to include Volk in his novel-project as a [[character]] (although the two were not mated at the time).

Like Volk himself in real life, Marcus is a diminutive but somewhat scrawny white wolf with long, silvery-blonde hair. True to form, also, Marcus is described as very shy -- a trait Volk has acknowledged himself to have. His exact physical makeup, as he appears in the book, is identical to the portrait that Royal had commissioned [[Tiggstar]] to do of he and Volk in [[fursona]] form -- note the above illustration.

Starting out as mostly a plot device in one of the later storylines to the book, Marcus's role in ''Phillipe'' has steadily grown (reflecting the growth of Royal and Volk's relationship), until his presence in the work became an undeniably pivotal one, as a member of the cast of eight main characters.

Marcus features heavily as the closest companion (and secret mate) to Royal's "other literary alter-ego" -- Phillipe himself being the first -- Jack Turing, one of Phillipe's best friends. The saga of Jack and Marcus's hidden-in-plain-sight love affair forms one of the key plot points of the book.

Volk himself has contributed a great deal to the future content of ''Phillipe'', including the full formulation of an entire storyline which Royal has confirmed will be written out, virtually unchanged.
