History[edit]
Cyrin first discovered the furry fandom in 1997, via the Sonic the Hedgehog fandom. He frequented the alt.fan.furry and alt.lifestyle.furry newsgroups, at the time going by the alias Vulpie Fox (he has also previously used the aliases 'Lightning the Fox' and 'Bushy Fox'). He developed an interest in transformation, particularly artwork and stories involving aquatic species.
He arrived at his eventual fursona species of dolphin in early 2002. This arose from a long-standing fascination with the ocean, stemming from his early childhood. He first depicted his characters in stories and artwork around this time. He also discovered the local furry community, attending a small handful of furmeets in Perth.
Between 2003 and 2004, Cyrin explored other interests including balloonies and rubberfurs, and also became more actively involved with the Perth Furs.
In late 2004-2005, Cyrin developed several other characters (including a fish and cow) and completed a bachelor's degree in Software Engineering.
From mid-2008, Cyrin's fursona changed to an inflatable toy, inspired by the toykin community.
Characters[edit]

Furry Fandom[edit]
Cyrin collects inflatable toys. He is known for having constructed a double-layered inflatable orca suit by modifying pool toys. This was one of only a few examples of such a costume at the time. In 2010, he commissioned an inflatable cow toy from PuffyPaws.
Cyrin has previously created furry-themed digital artwork and photomorphs, but prefers to commission other artists. He has a large collection of commissioned works. He also takes an interest in creative writing.
He has previously volunteered at the Perthfur Gathering, and was on the organising committee of FurWAG, dealing with Public Relations.[1] He also volunteered at the WAFF convention in 2017 (as Event Coordinator) and from 2018-2019 (as a panelist).
Cyrin lead the development of a revamped Perth Furs community website in 2013, in collaboration with Riley Lynx. The site was discontinued in 2018.[2]
He founded the Perthfurs - SFW group on Telegram in 2014.[3]
Conventions[edit]
Cyrin attends several furry conventions in Australia and the United States, the earliest of which being MiDFur in 2009. Other conventions include Further Confusion, MFF, FurDU and WAFF.
