Ristin Raccoon.

Ristin, full Ristin Raccoon (also stylized as RistinRaccoon), is a fursuiter and gamer, and was the life partner of fellow furry Marko the Rat until his passing on March 18, 2018.

Biography[edit]

Ristin is a chemical engineer and Justice of the Peace.

Ristin and Marko the Rat first met in late 2003 when Marko went to Melbourne for MiDFur; the meeting was organized by Oz Kangaroo and Tzup.

On March 7, 2012, after living together for over seven years, Ristin and Marko registered their civil partnership.[1] However, shortly after it became possible to register a civil union in Queensland, the Liberal conservative candidate Campbell Newman won the 2012 election and initiated a suite of anti-LGBT initiatives including annulling all same-sex civil unions.[2]

Fandom involvement[edit]

Risin is a member of the Westhaven furry household in Mount Gravatt, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.[3]

He was a moderator on Reddit's subreddit, /r/furry. In terms of social media, Ristin can be found on BlueSky, but no longer on Facebook or X, and due to changes to the TOS of Livejournal, Ristin imported his Livejournal archive to Dreamwidth, deleting it afterward.

Fursuit[edit]

Ristin's fursuit was created in 2006 by Oz Kangaroo's "Critter Country" costuming business. Ristin has worn the suit in the 2006 and 2007 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras parades and at Furry Down Under 2010. Ristin also co-stars in some of Marko the Rat's fursuit videos.

He is also played World of Warcraft, where he was part of the furry guild Order of the Claws, and Guild Master of Order of the Fang on the Bloodhoof server. Ristin is an active member of the furry guild Furrimorph on Guild Wars 2, and naturally, he strongly favors Charr characters.
