Furry OCs, etc.

Going to a con? Maws or paws? Sergal appreciation station? Telling people not to shade their refs? This is for all the general furry discourse.

Furry OCs, etc.

Post by Cayman »

What are the other furry folks who've sprung from your imagination? Tell us about them, who they are and what they're up to.

One rule: one at a time. We can have parties later.

This is Jack. He was raised wealthy and inherited his father's business empire of nightclubs in Seoul. He's polite but ruthless, a chip on his shoulder but a yearning in his heart. He was raised as a girl by strict, traditional parents before realizing in his teens that he was trans. His father, wanting a male heir to take on the family business, accepted Jack's identity and taught him the ways of the family business.

Image

Jack was made to study the violin since he was young, never enjoying the practice but showing a natural talent. As an adult, he's accomplished in playing, but resents having the talent forced onto him. A private type, he doesn't like to perform as much as he likes to pull strings, but still likes to practice to keep his skills sharp and remember his childhood. Managing a business empire, it's one of the few things he can use to express himself and have a moment of solitude. He likes playing Chopin.

Image

As the young hotshot magnate of the city's hottest clubs, a lot of eyes are on Jack. He knows how to perform, how to say the right things, how to please investors and the local papers covering his endeavors. He'll smile for the cameras, but it drops quickly after. He's ruthless in his dealings, but knows how to delegate and manage his events well. Every act coming through, no matter how popular, is an opportunity, and playing each off right has made him a respected figure in the city's nightlife scene.

Image

Something gnaws at him that money and attention can't fill. He's got it all, far more than the people he looks down on from his penthouse or the VIP suite in his clubs, but he doesn't feel fulfilled. What sort of people will he meet in the city, what's going to scratch that itch he feels?

Each one of those scrimblos is one of my little brain children.

So I have a couple characters already

Image
Artist: betoart

but I think I wanna start with my main guy, a hyena man in his mid to late 30s called Jaryl!

Image
Artist: betoart

He's generally a pretty quiet and reserved guy, especially when he's dealing with people that he's not very familiar with. But with his husband, a green dragon man named Jin, he's a very relaxed and supportive guy, and he loves him a lot! He sometimes comes across as pretty grumpy, but he just has "resting bitch face syndrome" most of the time. He's a lot more expressive than he might initially let on!

He's also extremely strong. As in, "could easily lift a car or snap someone's spine with his bare hands" strong. His magic stat kinda sucks, though, but he can still use a fireball projectile magic spell in a pinch.

Here's Clover! She was a human once upon a time and she got sent into a Dragon Quest world and turned into a bunicorn through and interaction with her magic necklace, that she wears all the time because she thinks it's important. She went on to meet a few other former-human friends and go on some adventures with them in a gummi ship they built together. She loves building and exploring magic (which she can use her horn for, like unicorns in MLP:FiM), and loves that she gets to exist somewhere where magic exists in the first place.

Well I have a bunch as a writer of fiction but only a few with refs and visuals but we'll begin with what I think is the perennial fave

Image
(Art by saucymcfuzzy.bsky.social note content he posts might be NSFW)

Not to get terribly ahead of what I've written but Gin's a spoiled middle child of a rich family who made their fortune through demonic ties. She's stubborn and uncompromising and used to getting his way. Basically, an asshole who is too eager for approval from the right people to be actually evil.

She's been through a lot since we invented her, being an on-and-off sona until Viper invented his look. Became bigender when we came out as nonbinary and it felt right to experiment with him.

I actually don't write a lot of lore down about my OC's, but I'll share what I can!

The character I use outside of my main Sona most often is my chinchilla character, Carson.

Ref sheet by @foxway.bsky.social‬ https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:qz3gv3 ... rbwkeuglvt

Carson is a stoic individual who really wants to appear tough and cool all the time. Reality usually gets in the way of that, usually in the form of his friends dragging him into wacky shenanigans. He wants to prove to society he can be successful as a model, but is currently struggling to break into the mainstream. His image has appeared on the cover of some rather weird publications, to put it politely.

When I originally came up with the idea for this character, I wanted to play against type. I liked the idea of using a species that's usually considered cute and cuddly and having a character that tries desperately to reject it. This ties into one of the main themes I want to explore with the character: self discovery, and what happens when you find out what you want is VASTLY different than what the world expects from you.

Do I have the writing chops to pull that off in any meaningful way? Absolutely not.

Will I ever make a story with this character: Realistically, no.

Is it still fun to come up with this lore and rant about to anyone who will listen? Hell yeah!
