'''TornadoCreator''' (also known as '''Billy McKenna''') is a [[furry artist]], broadcaster and web designer born in [[Wikipedia:Birkenhead|Birkenhead]], England on April 8th 1986.

==Biography==

'''TornadoCreator''' is the creator of the website ''Angry Bastards'' - originally a rant-orientated website which has been running since June 2005 which was abandoned in May 2006 due to lack of funding. At the end of October, TC started the furry radio show ''[[Bunny Suicide]]'' with [[Fatmandell]] to emulate [[2 Sense]] after it ended. After only 3 months the show was added to the [[FBC]] and later to [[Wikipedia:Storm FM|Storm FM]] in January 2006 although it was later removed from [[Wikipedia:Storm FM|Storm FM]] due to the station rarely playing any shows, music or broadcasting anything at all.

TornadoCreator considers himself a creative person by nature, he is a [[Wikipedia:Manga|Manga]] Artist as well as a Fur Artist, plays both Clarinet and Piano and has written many poems and short stories one of which was published in 1995 called 'I like the sound of...'

In 2004 TornadoCreator became a student at the [[Wikipedia:University of Wales, Bangor|Bangor University]] where he is studied a Chemistry BSc, unfortunately leaving due to medical reasons for an operation to remove a growth from his chest in the beginning of 2005. He is currently still living in Bangor, Wales.

During his time in Bangor he has become part of many societies including the [[Wikipedia:JCR|JCR]], [[Wikipedia:Anime|Animé]] fandom, and the [[Wikipedia:LGBT|LGBT]]. His first and most active society however is [[BWRPS]] which he has been a member of for 2 years.

His avatar within the fandom is a [[phoenix]], chosen for some spiritual reasons as well as others. Although TornadoCreator is not a very spiritual person and despises all organized religion he is openly open-minded and has never revealed what religion he considers to be or whether he believes in an afterlife or deity. He has on occasion begrudgingly referred to himself as agnostic.

During his free time TornadoCreator has been know to enjoy Role-playing, War-gaming, Drawing and Computer Games as well as being an avid listener of the [[FBC]]. Recently TornadoCreator has spent little time online due to personal reasons. He has spent a lot of time recently looking for work and accommodation and was at one point homeless. He has openly mentioned that he has slept on the streets and gone days without food however says that "the experience was worth having as it has put alot of things into perspective and taught me a great deal so isn't something I would want to change".

==Online Radio==

===Bunny Suicide===
[[Image:BunnySuicideLogo.png|right|thumb|Bunny Suicide Logo]]
Bunny Suicide is a radio show fashioned after the late 2 Sense and hosted by UK furs. The show is based around letters answered by TornadoCreator and his co-hosts in an agony aunt style although some answers are humorous and/or extremely opinionated. As well as the letters Bunny Suicide contains a segment called the American Dumb Laws and general conversation on the current affairs. Apparently the show will include other small entertainment segments on it's return.

The show has been running since October 2005 and has reached its 19th episode as of May 2006. It was originally part of a website called AngryBastards. It was then later distributed at DrakeGTA and finally added to the shows list at FBC. It is intended for mature audiences, as the show contains comments which some viewers may consider offensive.

After 19 episodes the show was abruptly ended after TornadoCreator's computer broke beyond repair causing the loss of the only complete archive of the show as well as his ability to record the show. Currently only episodes 6-14 are known to be retrievable from various sources.

During the brief history of the show there were a total of 5 co-hosts.

[[Fatmandell]], the most regular of the co-hosts was in all but 6 of the 19 shows, he is an Oceanography Student in Bangor University originally born in Yorkshire, England in 1987.

[[Paddi]] joined the show later and became a welcome change from the more wild opinions and comic conversations that TC and Fatmandell discussed bringing a slightly more grounded and logical perspective into the show, from in Newcastle, England. Paddi was born in 1986, he is also a student at Bangor University.

[[CyrusTheVirus|Cyrus]] co-hosted the show for a total of 3 shows during the Christmas period when the other co-hosts where out of town, the brother of TornadoCreator, currently a student in Birkenhead, born in 1988.

[[Jaie Davis|Jaie]], the host of The Brainstew and the General Manager of the [[FBC]] appeared on the show once, this was on one of the later episodes which is unfortunately lost.

[[Réizàr]], another host for the [[FBC]] with [[Mediaphillia]], appeared on Bunny Suicide twice, including one occasion in which TornadoCreator and Réizàr appeared on each others show in the same weak. Again these were some of the later shows which are currently lost.

The show was due to return exclusively to the [[FBC]] on September 22nd 2006 where it will also be available in the Podcast and Downloads section along with all other shows on the [[FBC]]. It was unfortunately delayed by a week due to unknown circumstances and returned on September 29th 2006. The show started again from episode 1 as TornadoCreator has deemed the past shows a previous 'series' and due to more than half of the episodes being lost would rather start the series from scratch calling it "Bunny Suicide ver 2.0".

The name Bunny Suicide for the show does not in fact have anything to do with the books by the same name which TornadoCreator has said he enjoys but due to an audio-clip sent to TornadoCreator of [[Garr]] saying the words 'Bunny Suicide' in the tone made famous on [[2 Sense]]. This audio-clip was then made into the intro-music for the show and it is believed that it will be used again for the next series.

===The Helix===
The Helix is a failed show started by TornadoCreator for the [[FBC]]. The idea behind it was a show based around DVD commentary however the show was too long and too specialized so the show was taken of the air after only one show. TornadoCreator has said he does not plan to ever bring this show back believing it to be too difficult to manage. The co-host for this show was Fatmandell.

==Roleplaying==

TornadoCreator has been roleplaying for almost 10 years now and during this time has had many different characters although no long term characters stood out untill he was roleplaying frequently with other experienced roleplayers when he joined BWRPS. During his time roleplaying he has explored all aspects of the hobby including Computer Based RPGs and Video Games, Table Top Wargaming, Internet Roleplay Via [[Skype]], [[LARP]] and obviously Dice-Based and Diceless Roleplaying.

TornadoCreator has during his time at BWRPS also took the opertunity to become a GM in alot of games. GMing games of Shadowrun 3rd Edition, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, Advanced Dungeons And Dragons (AD&D) and organising Warhammer Fantasy Battle and Mordhiem games.

===Roleplay Characters===

TornadoCreator has many roleplay characters, 3 of these characters are so well known and long running that they have there own history and personality. TornadoCreator to this day says roleplaying to him is, as it has always been, a form of relaxation and almost emotional therapy. The characters he claim decide exactly what they do, how they act, and there entire personality. They are practically different people from himself, however still just fantasy. Nothing more than a creation of TornadoCreators imagination.

'''Richard "Raven" Pritchard'''

Raven is the oldest of TornadoCreators Roleplay characters and the one that has shown up in many settings including [[FurryMUCK]]. He was a 26 year old biker gang member from Renton near Seattle, USA (or UCAS depending on setting). Originally a Shadowrun 3rd Edition character he was designed as a human battle mage. He is load mouthed and quick to anger which has lead him into trouble in the original Shadowrun game on many occations. Raven has been TornadoCreators oldest long running persona now at 3 years. In game setting Raven is currently a Wuxing Paranormal Scientist, he got the job after 5 in game years of specialist salvage shadowrun jobs and data-hacks, after proving to be more knowledgeable on the subject than the person who hired him.

Mena was part of the Renraku Millitary Intelligence straight from college, despite having strong family ties to Saeder-Krupp as her father was and still is an Executive on the board for the company in Berlin. She was drugged during an under-cover operation and raped, becoming pregnant from this. The trauma caused Mena to leave Renraku. After only 2 months she fell to a point where she must turn to the shadows to survive. She became a hot decker. During this time she fell in love with another member of the team called Renée, a character roleplayed by a member of [[BWRPS]]. Both players independently admitted that there characters where falling in love in game causing some of the most intense and humorous roleplaying as a lesbian relationship was formed between the characters each being played by male players neither of which being homosexual.

Alex is a scholar from Ataraxia (a nation invented by the GM of the game as he prefers his own settings to that of AD&D 3.5 Edition). Alex was expected to grow up as a wizard however never got the chance to as he didn't seem to posses "the spark" and thus couldn't manipulate magic. This caused great difficulty for Alex comming from a wealthy wizarding family to not be a wizard especially when living in a mageocracy (wizards are the higher class, mundanes the working/lower classes). He left to go to Ember where he met others and set of to investigate the world and study many different cultures. During this time he managed to find out about magic known as Truenaming. Later discovering that this wasn't magic but the language of creation that if spoken could alter reality itself he devoted even more time in the hope of learning it. He has currently learnt little of it but what he has learnt he has used to great effect.

In 2004 TornadoCreator became a student at the [[Wikipedia:University of Wales, Bangor|Bangor University]] where he is studied a Chemistry BSc, unfortunately leaving due to medical reasons for an operation to remove a growth from his chest in the beginning of 2005. He is currently still living in Bangor, Wales.

During his time in Bangor he has become part of many societies including the [[Wikipedia:JCR|JCR]], [[Wikipedia:Anime|Animé]] fandom, and the [[Wikipedia:LGBT|LGBT]]. His first and most active society however is [[BWRPS]] which he has been a member of for 2 years.

His avatar within the fandom is a [[phoenix]], chosen for some spiritual reasons as well as others. Although TornadoCreator is not a very spiritual person and despises all organized religion he is openly open-minded and has never revealed what religion he considers to be or whether he believes in an afterlife or deity. He has on occasion begrudgingly referred to himself as agnostic.

During his free time TornadoCreator has been know to enjoy Role-playing, War-gaming, Drawing and Computer Games as well as being an avid listener of the [[FBC]]. Recently TornadoCreator has spent little time online due to personal reasons. He has spent a lot of time recently looking for work and accommodation and was at one point homeless. He has openly mentioned that he has slept on the streets and gone days without food however says that "the experience was worth having as it has put alot of things into perspective and taught me a great deal so isn't something I would want to change".

===Bunny Suicide===
[[Image:BunnySuicideLogo.png|right|thumb|Bunny Suicide Logo]]
Bunny Suicide is a radio show fashioned after the late 2 Sense and hosted by UK furs. The show is based around letters answered by TornadoCreator and his co-hosts in an agony aunt style although some answers are humorous and/or extremely opinionated. As well as the letters Bunny Suicide contains a segment called the American Dumb Laws and general conversation on the current affairs. Apparently the show will include other small entertainment segments on it's return.

The show has been running since October 2005 and has reached its 19th episode as of May 2006. It was originally part of a website called AngryBastards. It was then later distributed at DrakeGTA and finally added to the shows list at FBC. It is intended for mature audiences, as the show contains comments which some viewers may consider offensive.

After 19 episodes the show was abruptly ended after TornadoCreator's computer broke beyond repair causing the loss of the only complete archive of the show as well as his ability to record the show. Currently only episodes 6-14 are known to be retrievable from various sources.

During the brief history of the show there were a total of 5 co-hosts.

[[Fatmandell]], the most regular of the co-hosts was in all but 6 of the 19 shows, he is an Oceanography Student in Bangor University originally born in Yorkshire, England in 1987.

[[Paddi]] joined the show later and became a welcome change from the more wild opinions and comic conversations that TC and Fatmandell discussed bringing a slightly more grounded and logical perspective into the show, from in Newcastle, England. Paddi was born in 1986, he is also a student at Bangor University.

[[CyrusTheVirus|Cyrus]] co-hosted the show for a total of 3 shows during the Christmas period when the other co-hosts where out of town, the brother of TornadoCreator, currently a student in Birkenhead, born in 1988.

[[Jaie Davis|Jaie]], the host of The Brainstew and the General Manager of the [[FBC]] appeared on the show once, this was on one of the later episodes which is unfortunately lost.

[[Réizàr]], another host for the [[FBC]] with [[Mediaphillia]], appeared on Bunny Suicide twice, including one occasion in which TornadoCreator and Réizàr appeared on each others show in the same weak. Again these were some of the later shows which are currently lost.

The show was due to return exclusively to the [[FBC]] on September 22nd 2006 where it will also be available in the Podcast and Downloads section along with all other shows on the [[FBC]]. It was unfortunately delayed by a week due to unknown circumstances and returned on September 29th 2006. The show started again from episode 1 as TornadoCreator has deemed the past shows a previous 'series' and due to more than half of the episodes being lost would rather start the series from scratch calling it "Bunny Suicide ver 2.0".

The name Bunny Suicide for the show does not in fact have anything to do with the books by the same name which TornadoCreator has said he enjoys but due to an audio-clip sent to TornadoCreator of [[Garr]] saying the words 'Bunny Suicide' in the tone made famous on [[2 Sense]]. This audio-clip was then made into the intro-music for the show and it is believed that it will be used again for the next series.

===The Helix===
The Helix is a failed show started by TornadoCreator for the [[FBC]]. The idea behind it was a show based around DVD commentary however the show was too long and too specialized so the show was taken of the air after only one show. TornadoCreator has said he does not plan to ever bring this show back believing it to be too difficult to manage. The co-host for this show was Fatmandell.

==Roleplaying==

TornadoCreator has been roleplaying for almost 10 years now and during this time has had many different characters although no long term characters stood out untill he was roleplaying frequently with other experienced roleplayers when he joined BWRPS. During his time roleplaying he has explored all aspects of the hobby including Computer Based RPGs and Video Games, Table Top Wargaming, Internet Roleplay Via [[Skype]], [[LARP]] and obviously Dice-Based and Diceless Roleplaying.

TornadoCreator has during his time at BWRPS also took the opertunity to become a GM in alot of games. GMing games of Shadowrun 3rd Edition, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, Advanced Dungeons And Dragons (AD&D) and organising Warhammer Fantasy Battle and Mordhiem games.

===Roleplay Characters===

TornadoCreator has many roleplay characters, 3 of these characters are so well known and long running that they have there own history and personality. TornadoCreator to this day says roleplaying to him is, as it has always been, a form of relaxation and almost emotional therapy. The characters he claim decide exactly what they do, how they act, and there entire personality. They are practically different people from himself, however still just fantasy. Nothing more than a creation of TornadoCreators imagination.

'''Richard "Raven" Pritchard'''

Raven is the oldest of TornadoCreators Roleplay characters and the one that has shown up in many settings including [[FurryMUCK]]. He was a 26 year old biker gang member from Renton near Seattle, USA (or UCAS depending on setting). Originally a Shadowrun 3rd Edition character he was designed as a human battle mage. He is load mouthed and quick to anger which has lead him into trouble in the original Shadowrun game on many occations. Raven has been TornadoCreators oldest long running persona now at 3 years. In game setting Raven is currently a Wuxing Paranormal Scientist, he got the job after 5 in game years of specialist salvage shadowrun jobs and data-hacks, after proving to be more knowledgeable on the subject than the person who hired him.

Mena was part of the Renraku Millitary Intelligence straight from college, despite having strong family ties to Saeder-Krupp as her father was and still is an Executive on the board for the company in Berlin. She was drugged during an under-cover operation and raped, becoming pregnant from this. The trauma caused Mena to leave Renraku. After only 2 months she fell to a point where she must turn to the shadows to survive. She became a hot decker. During this time she fell in love with another member of the team called Renée, a character roleplayed by a member of [[BWRPS]]. Both players independently admitted that there characters where falling in love in game causing some of the most intense and humorous roleplaying as a lesbian relationship was formed between the characters each being played by male players neither of which being homosexual. Mena lost her baby during pregnancy due to a fire while on a run. She is currently still shadowrunning but is desparate to retire however is reluctant to do so while Renée is still doing it.

Alex is a scholar from Ataraxia (a nation invented by the GM of the game as he prefers his own settings to that of AD&D 3.5 Edition). Alex was expected to grow up as a wizard however never got the chance to as he didn't seem to posses "the spark" and thus couldn't manipulate magic. This caused great difficulty for Alex comming from a wealthy wizarding family to not be a wizard especially when living in a mageocracy (wizards are the higher class, mundanes the working/lower classes). He left to go to Ember where he met others and set of to investigate the world and study many different cultures. During this time he managed to find out about magic known as Truenaming. Later discovering that this wasn't magic but the language of creation that if spoken could alter reality itself he devoted even more time in the hope of learning it. He has currently learnt little of it but what he has learnt he has used to great effect.

The show is based around letters answered by TornadoCreator and his co-hosts in an agony aunt style although some answers are humorous and/or extremely opinionated. As well as the letters Bunny Suicide contains a segment called the American Dumb Laws and general conversation on the current affairs. Apparently the show will include other small entertainment segments on it's return.

The show has been running since October 2005 and has reached its 19th episode as of May 2006. It was originally part of a website called AngryBastards. It was then later distributed at DrakeGTA and finally added to the shows list at FBC. It is intended for mature audiences, as the show contains comments which some viewers may consider offensive.

After 19 episodes the show was abruptly ended after TornadoCreator's computer broke beyond repair causing the loss of the only complete archive of the show as well as his ability to record the show. Currently only episodes 6-14 are known to be retrievable from various sources.

During the brief history of the show there were a total of 5 co-hosts.

[[Fatmandell]], the most regular of the co-hosts was in all but 6 of the 19 shows, he is an Oceanography Student in Bangor University originally born in Yorkshire, England in 1987.

[[Paddi]] joined the show later and became a welcome change from the more wild opinions and comic conversations that TC and Fatmandell discussed bringing a slightly more grounded and logical perspective into the show, from in Newcastle, England. Paddi was born in 1986, he is also a student at Bangor University.

[[CyrusTheVirus|Cyrus]] co-hosted the show for a total of 3 shows during the Christmas period when the other co-hosts where out of town, the brother of TornadoCreator, currently a student in Birkenhead, born in 1988.

[[Jaie Davis|Jaie]], the host of The Brainstew and the General Manager of the [[FBC]] appeared on the show once, this was on one of the later episodes which is unfortunately lost.

[[Réizàr]], another host for the [[FBC]] with [[Mediaphillia]], appeared on Bunny Suicide twice, including one occasion in which TornadoCreator and Réizàr appeared on each others show in the same weak. Again these were some of the later shows which are currently lost.

The show was due to return exclusively to the [[FBC]] on September 22nd 2006 where it will also be available in the Podcast and Downloads section along with all other shows on the [[FBC]]. It was unfortunately delayed by a week due to unknown circumstances and returned on September 29th 2006. The show started again from episode 1 as TornadoCreator has deemed the past shows a previous 'series' and due to more than half of the episodes being lost would rather start the series from scratch calling it "Bunny Suicide ver 2.0".

The name Bunny Suicide for the show does not in fact have anything to do with the books by the same name which TornadoCreator has said he enjoys but due to an audio-clip sent to TornadoCreator of [[Garr]] saying the words 'Bunny Suicide' in the tone made famous on [[2 Sense]]. This audio-clip was then made into the intro-music for the show and it is believed that it will be used again for the next series.

===The Helix===
The Helix is a failed show started by TornadoCreator for the [[FBC]]. The idea behind it was a show based around DVD commentary however the show was too long and too specialized so the show was taken of the air after only one show. TornadoCreator has said he does not plan to ever bring this show back believing it to be too difficult to manage. The co-host for this show was Fatmandell.

==Roleplaying==

TornadoCreator has been roleplaying for almost 10 years now and during this time has had many different characters although no long term characters stood out untill he was roleplaying frequently with other experienced roleplayers when he joined BWRPS. During his time roleplaying he has explored all aspects of the hobby including Computer Based RPGs and Video Games, Table Top Wargaming, Internet Roleplay Via [[Skype]], [[LARP]] and obviously Dice-Based and Diceless Roleplaying.

TornadoCreator has during his time at BWRPS also took the opertunity to become a GM in alot of games. GMing games of Shadowrun 3rd Edition, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, Advanced Dungeons And Dragons (AD&D) and organising Warhammer Fantasy Battle and Mordhiem games.

===Roleplay Characters===

TornadoCreator has many roleplay characters, 3 of these characters are so well known and long running that they have there own history and personality. TornadoCreator to this day says roleplaying to him is, as it has always been, a form of relaxation and almost emotional therapy. The characters he claim decide exactly what they do, how they act, and there entire personality. They are practically different people from himself, however still just fantasy. Nothing more than a creation of TornadoCreators imagination.

'''Richard "Raven" Pritchard'''

Raven is the oldest of TornadoCreators Roleplay characters and the one that has shown up in many settings including [[FurryMUCK]]. He was a 26 year old biker gang member from Renton near Seattle, USA (or UCAS depending on setting). Originally a Shadowrun 3rd Edition character he was designed as a human battle mage. He is load mouthed and quick to anger which has lead him into trouble in the original Shadowrun game on many occations. Raven has been TornadoCreators oldest long running persona now at 3 years. In game setting Raven is currently a Wuxing Paranormal Scientist, he got the job after 5 in game years of specialist salvage shadowrun jobs and data-hacks, after proving to be more knowledgeable on the subject than the person who hired him.

'''Mena Sevarai'''

Mena was part of the Renraku Millitary Intelligence straight from college, despite having strong family ties to Saeder-Krupp as her father was and still is an Executive on the board for the company in Berlin. She was drugged during an under-cover operation and raped, becoming pregnant from this. The trauma caused Mena to leave Renraku. After only 2 months she fell to a point where she must turn to the shadows to survive. She became a hot decker. During this time she fell in love with another member of the team called Renée, a character roleplayed by a member of [[BWRPS]]. Both players independently admitted that there characters where falling in love in game causing some of the most intense and humorous roleplaying as a lesbian relationship was formed between the characters each being played by male players neither of which being homosexual. Mena lost her baby during pregnancy due to a fire while on a run. She is currently still shadowrunning but is desparate to retire however is reluctant to do so while Renée is still doing it.

Alex is a scholar from Ataraxia (a nation invented by the GM of the game as he prefers his own settings to that of AD&D 3.5 Edition). Alex was expected to grow up as a wizard however never got the chance to as he didn't seem to posses "the spark" and thus couldn't manipulate magic. This caused great difficulty for Alex comming from a wealthy wizarding family to not be a wizard especially when living in a mageocracy (wizards are the higher class, mundanes the working/lower classes). He left to go to Ember where he met others and set of to investigate the world and study many different cultures. During this time he managed to find out about magic known as Truenaming. Later discovering that this wasn't magic but the language of creation that if spoken could alter reality itself he devoted even more time in the hope of learning it. He has currently learnt little of it but what he has learnt he has used to great effect.

After only 3 months the show was added to the [[FBC]] and later to [[Wikipedia:Storm FM|Storm FM]] in January 2006 although it was later removed from [[Wikipedia:Storm FM|Storm FM]] due to the station rarely playing any shows, music or broadcasting anything at all.

TornadoCreator considers himself a creative person by nature, he is a [[Wikipedia:Manga|Manga]] Artist as well as a Fur Artist, plays both Clarinet and Piano and has written many poems and short stories one of which was published in 1995 called 'I like the sound of...'

In 2004 TornadoCreator became a student at the [[Wikipedia:University of Wales, Bangor|Bangor University]] where he is studied a Chemistry BSc, unfortunately leaving due to medical reasons for an operation to remove a growth from his chest in the beginning of 2005.

[[Réizàr]], another host for the [[FBC]] with [[Mediaphillia]], appeared on Bunny Suicide twice, including one occasion in which TornadoCreator and Réizàr appeared on each others show in the same weak. Again these were some of the later shows which are currently lost.

The show was due to return exclusively to the [[FBC]] on September 22nd 2006 where it will also be available in the Podcast and Downloads section along with all other shows on the [[FBC]]. It was unfortunately delayed by a week due to unknown circumstances and returned on September 29th 2006. The show started again from episode 1 as TornadoCreator has deemed the past shows a previous 'series' and due to more than half of the episodes being lost would rather start the series from scratch calling it "Bunny Suicide ver 2.0".

The name Bunny Suicide for the show does not in fact have anything to do with the books by the same name which TornadoCreator has said he enjoys but due to an audio-clip sent to TornadoCreator of [[Garr]] saying the words 'Bunny Suicide' in the tone made famous on [[2 Sense]]. This audio-clip was then made into the intro-music for the show and it is believed that it will be used again for the next series.

===The Helix===
The Helix is a failed show started by TornadoCreator for the [[FBC]]. The idea behind it was a show based around DVD commentary however the show was too long and too specialized so the show was taken of the air after only one show. TornadoCreator has said he does not plan to ever bring this show back believing it to be too difficult to manage. The co-host for this show was Fatmandell.

==Roleplaying==

TornadoCreator has been roleplaying for almost 10 years now and during this time has had many different characters although no long term characters stood out untill he was roleplaying frequently with other experienced roleplayers when he joined BWRPS. During his time roleplaying he has explored all aspects of the hobby including Computer Based RPGs and Video Games, Table Top Wargaming, Internet Roleplay Via [[Skype]], [[LARP]] and obviously Dice-Based and Diceless Roleplaying.

TornadoCreator has during his time at BWRPS also took the opertunity to become a GM in alot of games. GMing games of Shadowrun 3rd Edition, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, Advanced Dungeons And Dragons (AD&D) and organising Warhammer Fantasy Battle and Mordhiem games.

===Roleplay Characters===

TornadoCreator has many roleplay characters, 3 of these characters are so well known and long running that they have there own history and personality. TornadoCreator to this day says roleplaying to him is, as it has always been, a form of relaxation and almost emotional therapy. The characters he claim decide exactly what they do, how they act, and there entire personality. They are practically different people from himself, however still just fantasy. Nothing more than a creation of TornadoCreators imagination.

'''Richard "Raven" Pritchard'''

Raven is the oldest of TornadoCreators Roleplay characters and the one that has shown up in many settings including [[FurryMUCK]]. He was a 26 year old biker gang member from Renton near Seattle, USA (or UCAS depending on setting). Originally a Shadowrun 3rd Edition character he was designed as a human battle mage. He is load mouthed and quick to anger which has lead him into trouble in the original Shadowrun game on many occations. Raven has been TornadoCreators oldest long running persona now at 3 years. In game setting Raven is currently a Wuxing Paranormal Scientist, he got the job after 5 in game years of specialist salvage shadowrun jobs and data-hacks, after proving to be more knowledgeable on the subject than the person who hired him.

'''Mena Sevarai'''

Mena is a german elven girl again originally set in the Shadowrun 3rd Edition game. Although she has not been "played" for as long as Raven she actually has a longer history than Raven. Mena was part of the Renraku Millitary Intelligence straight from college, despite having strong family ties to Saeder-Krupp as her father was and still is an Executive on the board for the company in Berlin. She was drugged during an under-cover operation and raped, becoming pregnant from this. The trauma caused Mena to leave Renraku. After only 2 months she fell to a point where she must turn to the shadows to survive. She became a hot decker. During this time she fell in love with another member of the team called Renée, a character roleplayed by a member of [[BWRPS]]. Both players independently admitted that there characters where falling in love in game causing some of the most intense and humorous roleplaying as a lesbian relationship was formed between the characters each being played by male players neither of which being homosexual. Mena lost her baby during pregnancy due to a fire while on a run. She is currently still shadowrunning but is desparate to retire however is reluctant to do so while Renée is still doing it.

'''Alexander Kaywyrn'''

Alex is TornadoCreators D&D Character however the one he plays most frequently now, both in and out of the set D&D game. Alex is a scholar from Ataraxia (a nation invented by the GM of the game as he prefers his own settings to that of AD&D 3.5 Edition). Alex was expected to grow up as a wizard however never got the chance to as he didn't seem to posses "the spark" and thus couldn't manipulate magic. This caused great difficulty for Alex comming from a wealthy wizarding family to not be a wizard especially when living in a mageocracy (wizards are the higher class, mundanes the working/lower classes). He left to go to Ember where he met others and set of to investigate the world and study many different cultures. During this time he managed to find out about magic known as Truenaming. Later discovering that this wasn't magic but the language of creation that if spoken could alter reality itself he devoted even more time in the hope of learning it. He has currently learnt little of it but what he has learnt he has used to great effect.

'''TornadoCreator''' (also known as '''Billy McKenna''') is a [[furry artist]], broadcaster and web designer born in [[Wikipedia:Birkenhead|Birkenhead]], England on April 8th 1986.

==Biography==

'''TornadoCreator''' is the creator of the website ''Angry Bastards'' - originally a rant-orientated website which has been running since June 2005 which was abandoned in May 2006 due to lack of funding. At the end of October, TC started the furry radio show ''[[Bunny Suicide]]'' with [[Fatmandell]] to emulate [[2 Sense]] after it ended. After only 3 months the show was added to the [[FBC]] and later to [[Wikipedia:Storm FM|Storm FM]] in January 2006 although it was later removed from [[Wikipedia:Storm FM|Storm FM]] due to the station rarely playing any shows, music or broadcasting anything at all.

TornadoCreator considers himself a creative person by nature, he is a [[Wikipedia:Manga|Manga]] Artist as well as a Fur Artist, plays both Clarinet and Piano and has written many poems and short stories one of which was published in 1995 called 'I like the sound of...'

In 2004 TornadoCreator became a student at the [[Wikipedia:University of Wales, Bangor|Bangor University]] where he is studied a Chemistry BSc, unfortunately leaving due to medical reasons for an operation to remove a growth from his chest in the beginning of 2005. He is currently still living in Bangor, Wales.

During his time in Bangor he has become part of many societies including the [[Wikipedia:JCR|JCR]], [[Wikipedia:Anime|Animé]] fandom, and the [[Wikipedia:LGBT|LGBT]]. His first and most active society however is [[BWRPS]] which he has been a member of for 2 years.

His avatar within the fandom is a [[phoenix]], chosen for some spiritual reasons as well as others. Although TornadoCreator is not a very spiritual person and despises all organized religion he is openly open-minded and has never revealed what religion he considers to be or whether he believes in an afterlife or deity. He has on occasion begrudgingly referred to himself as agnostic.

During his free time TornadoCreator has been know to enjoy Role-playing, War-gaming, Drawing and Computer Games as well as being an avid listener of the [[FBC]]. Recently TornadoCreator has spent little time online due to personal reasons. He has spent a lot of time recently looking for work and accommodation and was at one point homeless. He has openly mentioned that he has slept on the streets and gone days without food however says that "the experience was worth having as it has put alot of things into perspective and taught me a great deal so isn't something I would want to change".

==Online Radio==

===Bunny Suicide===
[[Image:BunnySuicideLogo.png|right|thumb|Bunny Suicide Logo]]
Bunny Suicide is a radio show fashioned after the late 2 Sense and hosted by UK furs. The show is based around letters answered by TornadoCreator and his co-hosts in an agony aunt style although some answers are humorous and/or extremely opinionated. As well as the letters Bunny Suicide contains a segment called the American Dumb Laws and general conversation on the current affairs. Apparently the show will include other small entertainment segments on it's return.

The show has been running since October 2005 and has reached its 19th episode as of May 2006. It was originally part of a website called AngryBastards. It was then later distributed at DrakeGTA and finally added to the shows list at FBC. It is intended for mature audiences, as the show contains comments which some viewers may consider offensive.

After 19 episodes the show was abruptly ended after TornadoCreator's computer broke beyond repair causing the loss of the only complete archive of the show as well as his ability to record the show. Currently only episodes 6-14 are known to be retrievable from various sources.

During the brief history of the show there were a total of 5 co-hosts.

[[Fatmandell]], the most regular of the co-hosts was in all but 6 of the 19 shows, he is an Oceanography Student in Bangor University originally born in Yorkshire, England in 1987.

[[Paddi]] joined the show later and became a welcome change from the more wild opinions and comic conversations that TC and Fatmandell discussed bringing a slightly more grounded and logical perspective into the show, from in Newcastle, England. Paddi was born in 1986, he is also a student at Bangor University.

[[CyrusTheVirus|Cyrus]] co-hosted the show for a total of 3 shows during the Christmas period when the other co-hosts where out of town, the brother of TornadoCreator, currently a student in Birkenhead, born in 1988.

[[Jaie Davis|Jaie]], the host of The Brainstew and the General Manager of the [[FBC]] appeared on the show once, this was on one of the later episodes which is unfortunately lost.

[[Réizàr]], another host for the [[FBC]] with [[Mediaphillia]], appeared on Bunny Suicide twice, including one occasion in which TornadoCreator and Réizàr appeared on each others show in the same weak. Again these were some of the later shows which are currently lost.

It was unfortunately delayed by a week due to unknown circumstances and returned on September 29th 2006.

==Roleplaying==

TornadoCreator has been roleplaying for almost 10 years now and during this time has had many different characters although no long term characters stood out untill he was roleplaying frequently with other experienced roleplayers when he joined BWRPS.

TornadoCreator has during his time at BWRPS also took the opertunity to become a GM in alot of games. GMing games of Shadowrun 3rd Edition, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, Advanced Dungeons And Dragons (AD&D) and organising Warhammer Fantasy Battle and Mordhiem games.

===Roleplay Characters===

TornadoCreator has many roleplay characters, 3 of these characters are so well known and long running that they have there own history and personality. TornadoCreator to this day says roleplaying to him is, as it has always been, a form of relaxation and almost emotional therapy. The characters he claim decide exactly what they do, how they act, and there entire personality. They are practically different people from himself, however still just fantasy. Nothing more than a creation of TornadoCreators imagination.

'''Richard "Raven" Pritchard'''

Raven is the oldest of TornadoCreators Roleplay characters and the one that has shown up in many settings including [[FurryMUCK]]. He was a 26 year old biker gang member from Renton near Seattle, USA (or UCAS depending on setting). Originally a Shadowrun 3rd Edition character he was designed as a human battle mage. He is load mouthed and quick to anger which has lead him into trouble in the original Shadowrun game on many occations. Raven has been TornadoCreators oldest long running persona now at 3 years. In game setting Raven is currently a Wuxing Paranormal Scientist, he got the job after 5 in game years of specialist salvage shadowrun jobs and data-hacks, after proving to be more knowledgeable on the subject than the person who hired him.

During this time she fell in love with another member of the team called Renée, a character roleplayed by a member of [[BWRPS]].

Alex is a scholar from Ataraxia (a nation invented by the GM of the game as he prefers his own settings to that of AD&D 3.5 Edition). Alex was expected to grow up as a wizard however never got the chance to as he didn't seem to posses "the spark" and thus couldn't manipulate magic. This caused great difficulty for Alex comming from a wealthy wizarding family to not be a wizard especially when living in a mageocracy (wizards are the higher class, mundanes the working/lower classes). He left to go to Ember where he met others and set of to investigate the world and study many different cultures. During this time he managed to find out about magic known as Truenaming. Later discovering that this wasn't magic but the language of creation that if spoken could alter reality itself he devoted even more time in the hope of learning it. He has currently learnt little of it but what he has learnt he has used to great effect.

'''Fatmandell''', also known as '''Ryan Dell''' (born 1987) is a student from Yorkshire. He is studying Marine Biology and Oceanography at [[Wikipedia:University of Wales, Bangor|Bangor University]], North Wales, where he joined the [[Bangor Wargaming and Role Playing Society]] and the Animé Society. He started a website called Fatman Productions during his spare time.

Fatmandell's first insight into the [[fur fandom]] was the [[Furry Broadcasting Corporation]] (FBC). He is a co-host of a show there, ''[[Bunny Suicide]]'', along with [[TornadoCreator]]. He also co-hosted with TornadoCreator for one episode of the short-lived show ''The Helix'', based on DVD commentary.

Within the fandom, Fatmandell uses a [[Dragon]] as his avatar, due to his habbit of hoarding; he has also voiced a fondness for [[ferret]]s.

Fatmandell co-hosted Bunny Suicide from the first episode onwards. He was in most of the first series of Bunny Sucide and as of October 2006 has been in every episode of the second series which has been made exclusive.

He has been noted for saying Bloody Hell alot during the show as well as making squeeking noices which seem to be one of the few things that actually outright annoy [[TC]]

[[Image:Tc001.JPG|right|thumb|TornadoCreator (Photo taken in 2004)]]
'''TornadoCreator''' (also known as '''Billy McKenna''') is a [[furry artist]], broadcaster and web designer born in [[Wikipedia:Birkenhead|Birkenhead]], England on April 8th 1986.

==Biography==

'''TornadoCreator''' is the creator of the website ''Angry Bastards'' - originally a rant-orientated website which has been running since June 2005 which was abandoned in May 2006 due to lack of funding. At the end of October, TC started the furry radio show ''[[Bunny Suicide]]'' with [[Fatmandell]] to emulate [[2 Sense]] after it ended. After only 3 months the show was added to the [[FBC]] and later to [[Wikipedia:Storm FM|Storm FM]] in January 2006 although it was later removed from [[Wikipedia:Storm FM|Storm FM]] due to the station rarely playing any shows, music or broadcasting anything at all.

TornadoCreator considers himself a creative person by nature, he is a [[Wikipedia:Manga|Manga]] Artist as well as a Fur Artist, plays both Clarinet and Piano and has written many poems and short stories one of which was published in 1995 called 'I like the sound of...'

In 2004 TornadoCreator became a student at the [[Wikipedia:University of Wales, Bangor|Bangor University]] where he is studied a Chemistry BSc, unfortunately leaving due to medical reasons for an operation to remove a growth from his chest in the beginning of 2005. He is currently still living in Bangor, Wales.

During his time in Bangor he has become part of many societies including the [[Wikipedia:JCR|JCR]], [[Wikipedia:Anime|Animé]] fandom, and the [[Wikipedia:LGBT|LGBT]]. His first and most active society however is [[BWRPS]] which he has been a member of for 2 years.

His avatar within the fandom is a [[phoenix]], chosen for some spiritual reasons as well as others. Although TornadoCreator is not a very spiritual person and despises all organized religion he is openly open-minded and has never revealed what religion he considers to be or whether he believes in an afterlife or deity. He has on occasion begrudgingly referred to himself as agnostic.

During his free time TornadoCreator has been know to enjoy Role-playing, War-gaming, Drawing and Computer Games as well as being an avid listener of the [[FBC]]. Recently TornadoCreator has spent little time online due to personal reasons. He has spent a lot of time recently looking for work and accommodation and was at one point homeless. He has openly mentioned that he has slept on the streets and gone days without food however says that "the experience was worth having as it has put alot of things into perspective and taught me a great deal so isn't something I would want to change".

==Online Radio==

===Bunny Suicide===
[[Image:BunnySuicideLogo.png|right|thumb|Bunny Suicide Logo]]
Bunny Suicide is a radio show fashioned after the late 2 Sense and hosted by UK furs. The show is based around letters answered by TornadoCreator and his co-hosts in an agony aunt style although some answers are humorous and/or extremely opinionated. As well as the letters Bunny Suicide contains a segment called the American Dumb Laws and general conversation on the current affairs. Apparently the show will include other small entertainment segments on it's return.

The show has been running since October 2005 and has reached its 19th episode as of May 2006. It was originally part of a website called AngryBastards. It was then later distributed at DrakeGTA and finally added to the shows list at FBC. It is intended for mature audiences, as the show contains comments which some viewers may consider offensive.

After 19 episodes the show was abruptly ended after TornadoCreator's computer broke beyond repair causing the loss of the only complete archive of the show as well as his ability to record the show. Currently only episodes 6-14 are known to be retrievable from various sources.

During the brief history of the show there were a total of 5 co-hosts.

[[Fatmandell]], the most regular of the co-hosts was in all but 6 of the 19 shows, he is an Oceanography Student in Bangor University originally born in Yorkshire, England in 1987.

Paddi joined the show later and became a welcome change from the more wild opinions and comic conversations that TC and Fatmandell discussed bringing a slightly more grounded and logical perspective into the show, born in Newcastle, England in 1987, he is also a student at Bangor University.

[[CyrusTheVirus|Cyrus]] co-hosted the show for a total of 3 shows during the Christmas period when the other co-hosts where out of town, the brother of TornadoCreator, currently a student in Birkenhead, born in 1988.

[[Jaie Davis|Jaie]], the host of The Brainstew and the General Manager of the [[FBC]] appeared on the show once, this was on one of the later episodes which is unfortunately lost.

[[Réizàr]], another host for the [[FBC]] with [[Mediaphillia]], appeared on Bunny Suicide twice, including one occasion in which TornadoCreator and Réizàr appeared on each others show in the same weak. Again these were some of the later shows which are currently lost.

The show was due to return exclusively to the [[FBC]] on September 22nd 2006 where it will also be available in the Podcast and Downloads section along with all other shows on the [[FBC]]. It was unfortunately delayed by a week due to unknown circumstances and returned on September 29th 2006. The show started again from episode 1 as TornadoCreator has deemed the past shows a previous 'series' and due to more than half of the episodes being lost would rather start the series from scratch calling it "Bunny Suicide ver 2.0".

The name Bunny Suicide for the show does not in fact have anything to do with the books by the same name which TornadoCreator has said he enjoys but due to an audio-clip sent to TornadoCreator of [[Garr]] saying the words 'Bunny Suicide' in the tone made famous on [[2 Sense]]. This audio-clip was then made into the intro-music for the show and it is believed that it will be used again for the next series.

During his free time TornadoCreator has been know to enjoy Role-playing, War-gaming, Drawing and Computer Games as well as being an avid listener of the [[FBC]]. Recently TornadoCreator has spent little time online due to personal reasons. He has spent a lot of time recently looking for work and accommodation and is registered homeless at present, despite these facts TornadoCreator has voiced plans to bring back his show Bunny Suicide.

==Online Radio==

===Bunny Suicide===
Bunny Suicide is a radio show fashioned after the late 2 Sense and hosted by UK furs. The show is based around letters answered by TornadoCreator and his co-hosts in an agony aunt style although some answers are humorous and/or extremely opinionated. As well as the letters Bunny Suicide contains a segment called the American Dumb Laws and general conversation on the current affairs. Apparently the show will include other small entertainment segments on it's return.

The show has been running since October 2005 and has reached its 19th episode as of May 2006. It was originally part of a website called AngryBastards. It was then later distributed at DrakeGTA and finally added to the shows list at FBC. It is intended for mature audiences, as the show contains comments which some viewers may consider offensive.

After 19 episodes the show was abruptly ended after TornadoCreator's computer broke beyond repair causing the loss of the only complete archive of the show as well as his ability to record the show. Currently only episodes 6-14 are known to be retrievable from various sources.

During the brief history of the show there were a total of 5 co-hosts.

[[Fatmandell]], the most regular of the co-hosts was in all but 6 of the 19 shows, he is an Oceanography Student in Bangor University originally born in Yorkshire, England in 1987.

Paddi joined the show later and became a welcome change from the more wild opinions and comic conversations that TC and Fatmandell discussed bringing a slightly more grounded and logical perspective into the show, born in Newcastle, England in 1987, he is also a student at Bangor University.

[[CyrusTheVirus|Cyrus]] co-hosted the show for a total of 3 shows during the Christmas period when the other co-hosts where out of town, the brother of TornadoCreator, currently a student in Birkenhead, born in 1988.

[[Jaie Davis|Jaie]], the host of The Brainstew and the General Manager of the [[FBC]] appeared on the show once, this was on one of the later episodes which is unfortunately lost.

[[Réizàr]], another host for the [[FBC]] with [[Mediaphillia]], appeared on Bunny Suicide twice, including one occasion in which TornadoCreator and Réizàr appeared on each others show in the same weak. Again these were some of the later shows which are currently lost.

The show is due to return exclusively to the [[FBC]] on September 22nd 2006 where it will also be available in the Podcast and Downloads section along with all other shows on the [[FBC]]. The show will be starting again from episode 1 as TornadoCreator has deemed the past shows a previous 'series' and due to more than half of the episodes being lost would rather start the series from scratch calling it "Bunny Suicide ver 2.0"

The name Bunny Suicide for the show does not in fact have anything to do with the books by the same name which TornadoCreator has said he enjoys but due to an audio-clip sent to TornadoCreator of [[Garr]] saying the words 'Bunny Suicide' in the tone made famous on [[2 Sense]]. This audio-clip was then made into the intro-music for the show and it is believed that it will be used again for the next series.

===The Helix===
The Helix is a failed show started by TornadoCreator for the [[FBC]]. The idea behind it was a show based around DVD commentary however the show was too long and too specialized so the show was taken of the air after only one show. TornadoCreator has said he does not plan to ever bring this show back believing it to be too difficult to manage. The co-host for this show was Fatmandell.

[[Image:2_The_Ranting_Gryphon.jpg|left|thumb|Matthew Davis, a.k.a. 2, The Ranting Gryphon]][[Image:2photo-1.gif|right|thumb|A more recent picture of 2, The Ranting Gryphon]]
'''Matthew Davis''', also known as '''2, The Ranting Gryphon''', is a professional comedian who performs mainly at [[science fiction|sci-fi]] and [[furry fandom|furry]] [[conventions]].

2 also performs and records audio 'rants', and hosted an Internet radio show called [[2 Sense]] which ran for about 80 mostly-weekly episodes, up to two hours in length, before being discontinued due to time and work constraints on July 2nd, 2005, at the peak of its popularity.

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

A member of the furry fandom, he is generally well-liked for his humor, his somewhat [[Wikipedia:Liberalism|liberal]] view on the world and his quest to spread the "truth". His alter-ego/avatar is a [[gryphon]], his name allegedly coming to him in a dream about the creature. He regularly attends [[furry conventions]] and occasionally performs [[Wikipedia:Stand-up comedy|stand up]] there. He often jokes that he wants to build a furry army with which to take over the world.

2 currently resides in [[Wikipedia:Arkansas|Arkansas]], [[Wikipedia:United States|USA]], in a social collective of fellow furry fans/artists ("furs"), known as the [[NARFA|North Arkansas Regional Furry Association]] (NARFA). He is moving to [[Wikipedia:Ann Arbor, Michigan|Ann Arbor, Michigan]] in mid-Spetember 2006.

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

The rants were originally scripted and were released on average once every two months. Their main purpose was for 2 to spread his opinions.

With 2 Sense retired, he plans to release more rants. His latest rants have dealt with [[Wikipedia:Intelligent design|intelligent design]], the [[Wikipedia:news media|news media]] and [[wikipedia:Justice|justice]]. He has also released his second outtake reel.

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

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

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

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

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

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

==Dear 2==
2 Gryphon is doing a short show (if it can indeed be considered a show) approximately 10 minutes long in which he answers letters sent in by (presumably) past 2 Sense listeners and fans of his website. The show is identical to the Dear 2 segment from 2 Sense with the exception of there being no co-host. It will probably be a weekly based show, however this is subject to change depending on how much mail 2 recieves.

This new show can be downloaded as an MP3 file from

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

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

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

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

Plans for a fourth DVD, "Place Gryphon Here", were scrapped due to technical problems while recording the shows at [[Anthrocon 2005]] and [[Midwest FurFest 2005]]. Instead, an audio CD will be released later in 2006 that will contain audio from both. It will replace an earlier audio CD that has gone out of print.

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

2 Gryphon is doing a short show (if it can indeed be considered a show) approximately 10 minutes long in which he answers letters sent in by (presumably) past 2 Sense listeners and fans of his website. The show is identical to the Dear 2 segment from 2 Sense with the exception of there being no co-host. It will probably be a weekly based show, however this is subject to change depending on how much mail 2 recieves.

This new show can be downloaded as an MP3 file from

==DVDs==
2 the Ranting Gryphon has released three DVDs since 2002. These DVDs are avaliable to buy from 2's official website.

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

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

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

Plans for a fourth DVD, "Place Gryphon Here", were scrapped due to technical problems while recording the shows at [[Anthrocon 2005]] and [[Midwest FurFest 2005]]. Instead, an audio CD will be released later in 2006 that will contain audio from both. It will replace an earlier audio CD that has gone out of print.

2, The Ranting Gryphon

[[Image:2_The_Ranting_Gryphon.jpg|right|thumb|Matthew Davis, a.k.a. 2, The Ranting Gryphon]][[Image:2photo-1.gif|right|thumb|A more recent picture of 2, The Ranting Gryphon]]
'''Matthew Davis''', also known as '''2, The Ranting Gryphon''', is a professional comedian who performs mainly at [[science fiction|sci-fi]] and [[furry fandom|furry]] [[conventions]].

2 also performs and records audio 'rants', and hosted an Internet radio show called [[2 Sense]] which ran for about 80 mostly-weekly episodes, up to two hours in length, before being discontinued due to time and work constraints on July 2nd, 2005, at the peak of its popularity.

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

A member of the furry fandom, he is generally well-liked for his humor, his somewhat [[Wikipedia:Liberalism|liberal]] view on the world and his quest to spread the "truth". His alter-ego/avatar is a [[gryphon]], his name allegedly coming to him in a dream about the creature. He regularly attends [[furry conventions]] and occasionally performs [[Wikipedia:Stand-up comedy|stand up]] there. He often jokes that he wants to build a furry army with which to take over the world.

2 currently resides in [[Wikipedia:Arkansas|Arkansas]], [[Wikipedia:United States|USA]], in a social collective of fellow furry fans/artists ("furs"), known as the [[NARFA|North Arkansas Regional Furry Association]] (NARFA). He is moving to [[Wikipedia:Ann Arbor, Michigan|Ann Arbor, Michigan]] in mid-Spetember 2006.

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

The rants were originally scripted and were released on average once every two months. Their main purpose was for 2 to spread his opinions.

With 2 Sense retired, he plans to release more rants. His latest rants have dealt with [[Wikipedia:Intelligent design|intelligent design]], the [[Wikipedia:news media|news media]] and [[wikipedia:Justice|justice]]. He has also released his second outtake reel.

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

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

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