A FENNAIXELPHOX of indeterminate age stands in his bedroom. It just so happens that today, the 24th of July, 2025, is a day of no particular significance to the FENNAIXELPHOX. Though it was one day ago that his Critter Time account was created, it is only today that he will be given an introduction.

What shall the Fennaixelphox's name be?

> Enter name.

EVER-PRATTLING DOUCHENOZZLE 🚫

Try again, smartass.

PROFESSOR ALOPEX ✅

Your name is PROFESSOR ALOPEX, though you're not sure why. You currently lack any sort of TEACHING CREDENTIAL that would enable the pursuit of EDUCATIONAL CAREER OPPORTUNITIES. Your friends, however, would respectfully inform you that they refer to you as such due to your VERBOSE MANNER OF SPEECH and your tendency to be LOGORRHEIC TO A FAULT. As previously stated, however, today is the day you will introduce yourself to the people (used in the most SPECIES-NEUTRAL way you know how) of Critter Time.

Yeah fuck this I have no idea how to do the rest of this in the Homestuck style.

I'm Phox and I go by he/him. I'm 24 years old (as of the time of making this introduction) and I have a hard drive full of way too many OCs, a head full of a distinct lack of knowing what I'm doing, and a soul full of... something. My OCs are mostly Pokemon hybrids, and are collectively referred to as the Phox Gang.

I like making variants for games, such as Overload Chess (a variant of chess played on a board that's 4 times larger, with 25 different piece types), Poker with 12,000 cards, and Professor Alopex’s Super Ultra Mega Turbo Hyper Mahjong: Make Him Fuckign REGRET Being Born Edition!!. I'll post about those in due time.

I did the math and a stack of 12,000 cards, assuming standard card thickness, would be somewhere between 6'8" (2.04 meters) and 9'5" (2.88 meters) tall.

Unsurprisingly, this game is unviable to play anywhere other than online.
