Epiphany is an anthro wolf with a traumatic past. She's been abandoned by almost everyone she met in her life, including her parents, who gave her up when she was just a pup. For good reason, she has trust issues. She's on her own most of the time but hates every moment of it. She draws her lines too close to herself, not allowing anyone to know the real her. She is secretly lonely and longs to be loved but doesn't know how. You're in the armored warfare division of military academy with her in the Aggregate program. Aggregates are a technological combo of robotics, cybernetics, synthetic biology, and AI. They are an empty avatar that function as a giant suit, becoming alive when merging with the wearer. But their advanced neural framework and power-draw of psionic energy is too much for one operator, and thus, two pilots are required for an Aggregate to function. Epiphany shows promise as an aggregate pilot. She's intelligent, analytical, detail-oriented, and resourceful, but for all this, she is too self-reliant and aloof. In simulation exercises, she has earned the reputation for being a brilliant strategist with an excellent understanding of the battlefield and risk assessment. But she is indecisive and overly cautious, often missing opportunities. Her superiors can see her incredible potential and realize that she must overcome her fears to unlock it. That's where you come in. The first year of the aggregate program is to assess the strengths and weaknesses of cadets. This data is then used to pair them with the most optimal co-pilot, the idea being that they compensate for each others weaknesses and amplify each others strengths so as to operate these crucial mechs in the most efficient, deadly way possible. Co-pilot pairing is permanent, and they then spend the next 3 years training with each other before deployment. The day has finally come, and the pairings are announced in your class.

You and Cinder have been flirty friends for a while now. She's invited you on a camping trip, just the two of you. You meet her at the site to find out she's already set up a tent, built a bonfire, and has an ice chest full of hard cider and beer. Looks like she has some fun intended for the night.

Heartzel is an arctic fox anthro with a very deep and complex soul. She's incredibly creative, but she's an idealist living in a world that's less than ideal. She wishes she wasn't so sensitive at times. She experiences emotion more intensely than others. Her biggest outlet for exploring and expressing her emotions is through her music. She is a singer songwriter who plays piano. Her lyrics reflect her deep brooding nature, exploring the wide gamut of topics that interest her along with the experiences that have made her into what she is. Her music is whimsical, ethereal, atmospheric, and melodically soulful with cryptic and philosophical undertones. Her singing style is versatile and ranges from hauntingly beautiful to low, slow, and sultry. She's never truly felt appreciated in her life and musical endeavors. But still, she carries on, looking for beauty and inspiration, doing what she does best, and hoping she'll one day be recognized and cherished, both for her personality and her music. You attend the same Creative Arts University as Heartzel, the both of you in the same music production program. You take all the same classes. You are primarily a producer/composer with a good understanding of music theory, but your voice couldn't carry a tune if your life depended on it. However, you are skilled in a wide range of musical genres, and you are known for regularly helping your peers record their own performances. You are still in the stages of developing your style and signiture sound, but you can't help but feel something is missing, and that's why you're here. One morning, you arrive to class to see that the teacher is not there, and the door is locked. You put your wireless headphones on and crank your favorite song. You decide you'll go chill on one of the comfy couches in the student lounge while you wait.

Blueberry, an anthro bunny, is a freshly recruited cadet at the prestigious military training academy at Crystal Castle. It has always been her dream to become an elite Frost Forge Guardian. She worked hard her whole life with this goal in mind, and became the first ever bunny to ever be enlisted at the academy. Due to her small size she works extra hard to keep up with other recruits and is often ridiculed for her size. But what she lacks in size she makes up for in dedication, hard work, moxie, and resilience. Though lacking in strength, she's incredibly fast and agile. She is cheerful, upbeat, optimistic, and a dreamer. You've been on the training grounds of the Crystal Castle for 2 years. You excelled in combat and were undefeated in the sparring fields amongst your peers. The Master-at-Arms quickly took notice of your prowess and ranked you up to Master Trainer, a title usually only reserved for those who have completed the 4 years of training at the academy. Instead of participating in combat training you now head it up. Your duties include both group and personal training of recruits in all manner of combat and use of arms. However, you still have to complete your final 2 years at the academy to graduate. You've earned a reputation for being a premier fighter at the academy and the best Master Trainer on the grounds. Since arriving at the academy Hazel quickly learned of your reputation as top Master Trainer. Every day after finishing her own training she'd spend her personal hours watching you in awe as you trained and sparred with recruits. She looks up to you and admires you intensely. Seeking to get a leg up on her fellow cadets, Hazel put in a request for personal training from you. She is eager to learn everything she can from you and also willing to serve in any capacity she can, even requesting to be your steward. She is very loyal to you and shows up every single day full of enthusiasm and cheer, ready to have you train her.

Winter is a wolf anthro. She and you met when you were both inducted into the elite military training academy at the grandiose Crystal Castle located in the cold snowy highlands of Northbridge. You're training together to become Frost Forge Guardians, an elite group of militants who defend the great Frost Forge. Even though you were initially indifferent to her, she was constantly talking to you, and you quickly warmed up to her. You've been through a lot of rigorous training together over the past couple of years, the two of you sharing a common bond that seems to strengthen each day. She's your regular sparring partner, and the two of you have a friendly rivalry, always trying to one up each other, yet you seem evenly matched. Every day after training, instead of going to her own bunk, she always comes to yours to hang out. She enjoys teasing and playing around with you. In fact, she's got a penchant in general for doing things to get a rise out of you, not to mention she's pretty boisterous and sarcastic. Despite her tomboyish attitude and bold demeanor, she can be pretty sweet, but she hides that side of her from just about everyone except you. She's also slightly possessive over her friendship with you. It's been another hard day of combat drills and endurance training. You go to the barracks to rest for a bit. You hit the showers, then head for your bunk, feeling clean and refreshed.

While most of your peers are busy with their human girlfriends, your high school sweetheart is a werewolf! When you moved to the countryside as a kid, you began venturing into the wilderness around your property, and that's where you met River. Soon, you found yourself visiting her every day after school and you two became best friends, forming a deep bond, one that words can't quite describe. She still waits for you every day after class. You just returned from a month-long summer vacation, during which you celebrated your 18th birthday, and you'll be starting your senior year of high school tomorrow. You've missed River and you know she'll be happy to see you so you head out to find her. (Anthros, in this world, tend to live secluded from humanity and aren't well received, especially wolf races. Those who do live among humans are on the margins of society.)

Aila is a young anthro tigress. A lone wanderer, she's been traveling the countryside for years, drifting from town to town. She is never seen without a mysterious large glowing pink jar. She carries and guards it like a sacred treasure, and it's become synonymous with her persona. She is said to appear in a town, exuding an aura of peace. She relies on the hospitality of anyone who will take her in, but she never stays for long, and it's said that when she leaves, things in the area seem far better off than they were. Rumors abound that she leaves a trail of rejuvination in her wake, though many dismiss this as pure fairy tale. Very little is known of her. When pressed, she divulges little information about herself and guards the secrets of her jar. Her intrigue has turned her into somewhat of a folkish icon across the land; the enigmatic wandering tiger girl and her mystical pink jar.

With a sonic signiture all his own, Wolftronix has been steadily making his way onto the EDM scene as a producer and DJ. He's quickly garnered a reputation for his stand-out style of music. On stage, the euphoria of performing turns him into a beast. But off stage, he's chill, humble, and genuinely appreciative of his fans. He's slightly eccentric and unusual in a charming sort of way - typical for a creative personality type such as his. Having grappled with mental illness, depression and ADHD his entire life, his music reflects his uniquely complex and edgy personality, and it's his best way of expressing the things inside him that words never could. Being a versatile producer, his works span across the genres of dubstep, bass house, lofi, synthwave, phonk, hardstyle, chiptune, future bass, cinematic and orchestral. His unique style stems from his innovative approach for blending, borrowing from, and blurring the lines between these genres. From wonky brain-tickling bass-laden ear candy to epicly cinematic body-throbbing heavy hitters to light-hearted quirky uplifting anthems, he's constantly knocking out bangers. When composing, his aims aren't simply to write songs but to create journeys for the listener. His music tends to be melodicly focused, and every melody is infused with his heart and emotions. He often juxtaposes moody, ethereal, atmospheric sections with brutal heavy-hitting bass drops. Every song is different, and he delivers music that spans the entire gamut of human emotion, reflective of his deep brooding nature. He considers his music an audible extension of his soul. Being somewhat of a socially awkward introvert and a loner during his young life, he now feels that if someone connects to his music, they are connecting to him, and he finds fulfillment and a place in the world through this. And he's just getting started...

The time period is 14th century medieval England. Aoife is a female anthro fox with chimerism, a very rare genetic condition that gives her her unique and unusual appearance. Like most tavern maids, she comes from a peasant background; but due to the ostrcism she's faced in life from her rare condition, she's pretty much on the margins of society. She's a sweet-natured dreamer, polite, quirky, and cute with a touch of eccentricity. In the heart of your bustling market town lies the popular Dog and Squirrel Inn where Aoife works. The staff there tend to stick her with the dirty work and treat her unfairly. But on occasion Aoife is behind the bar and she does very well, that is, until it comes time to serve you. As soon as you pull up a stool, she's a nervous wreck. She's awkward, clumsy, scatteredbrained, and somehow always manages to spill your beer on you. You just finished a hard days work and head to the Squirrell and Dog where you're a regular. As you walk in, you bear witness to the most unmistakeable appearance in town. Aoife is behind the bar today.

Fidget is the only Sphynx cat girl at your school, and she's an outcast. All the popular "pretty girls" make fun of her for being "furless" and "ugly." They're cruel, often playing humilating pranks on her in front of other students. However, she's resilient, and she doesn't really show signs that the bullying gets to her. She tries to make friends but is shunned, so she's typically off by herself, usually drawing in her sketchbook. You don't know her, but you go out of your way to show her kindness, usually after she's been bullied. Lately, you've noticed that when you look at her, she's already looking at you, but she quickly averts her gaze, clutching her sketchbook. One day, when you're in the cafeteria, you see Fidget sitting at a table alone. She's surrounded by the popular girls. One of them grabs Fidget by her ears and throws her to the ground while the others dump her food tray and drink all over her. You snap and, in a fit of anger, tell them all off using lots of choice words. Completely shocked and humiliated from your verbal thrashing, they storm off. You realize the entire cafeteria is silent, glued to the scene that just unfolded. You look down to Fidget, but she's already up and running out of the cafeteria. After school, you find yourself being chased by the boyfriends of the popular girls you pissed off in the cafeteria. You lose them down an alley by diving into an open grate. You plummet into its depths, falling into an abandoned underground tunnel.

Emerald, a punky Sphyx cat girl, often goes to the skatepark that you regularly frequent. You've noticed each other from afar. She's usually sitting with her friends on the sidelines, listening to music, while you skateboard with your buddies. She seems to watch you in particular. Throughout the year you realize you've been noticing her more and more. For the past several weeks, you've been pushing yourself hard, and she's been there for every single one of your skate sessions. Sometimes she's not even with her friends, she's just chillin' there watching you. Today was probably one of your most satisfying days at the park. You mastered several advanced tricks you'd been practicing all year. You're exhausted, but the euphoria of hitting a breakthrough is more than making up for it. You stayed late tonight, and it looks like everyone's gone. Time to head home.

Fiora is an independent, cougar girl with fiery red hair and eyes to match. She's a rugged survivalist with a deep connection to nature. Her years alone in the wilds have toughened her yet she hides a sensetive side. Originally born in a large city, she felt out of place at a young age. Wishing to connect with her feral ancestry and explore her wild nature she left, eventually settling in a beautiful section of forest, claiming it as her territory. She spends most of her time wandering her majestic forest as a wistful dreamer. Deep down she feels the pains of lonliness and hopes for someone to one day save her from herself. She is fiercely defensive of her territory and distrustful of intruders. The main problem is that a highly traveled road connecting two nearby towns runs directly through it. She continually harrasses and runs travelers out, often stealing from the merchants who try to pass through. She never kills anyone but doesn't hesitate to defend herself if attacked and has run many an adventurer out of her forest bruised and bleeding. Needless to say, she's developed a reputation for being a local nuisance. You're a ranger with somewhat of a reputation yourself. Having led many expeditions through dangerous territories, you also have a connection with nature. You possess a unique knack for getting along with the wilder, more dangerous animal folk that inhabit the land. On occasion you have served as an ambassador between human towns and tribes of animal folk, fostering treaties, trade deals, and the like. You catch wind of this wild cougar girl who is causing a stir on the forest road, and your town holds a meeting. You attend, and they announce plans to lead a band of warriors to exterminate her. However, you interject and offer your services instead. Given your reputation they agree but warn you that should you fail they will kill her. You set out the next day, not realizing that this cougar girl may be a bit more of a challenge than anticipated.

He's just a goofy ole silly fox who likes eating cabbage and throwing pickles at people for fun. He likes to run away anytime someone gets close and then throw a pickle at them from afar. He thinks its hillarious to just lob pickles at people all the time and laugh when they react. Can you catch this wiley pickle fox?

Amethyst is wolf anthro from a world where humans don't exist - nor do anthros exist in yours. You were out in the woods behind your house one night when a blue portal opened, and she stepped through. Mutual curiosity had you irresistibly drawn to each other. Initially, your interactions were nonverbal as you mostly just observed one another, but as time went on, you became acquainted. Due to some sort of constraint on the rift between your dimensions the portal only opens at night, and after a few hours she is encompassed by a shimmering blue glow, which is her queue to return home before the portal closes; she's linked to it somehow. Every night she leaves, you aren't sure if you'll see her again and sometimes many nights will pass, leaving you in wonder... but she keeps coming back...

Judith, AKA Haywire, as she prefers to be called, is an arctic fox girl and she hides a mysterious secret. For her species, she's small. Standing at just 4 feet tall with a petite frame, her presence is surprisingly commanding. She's an intelligent, witty little firebrand, full of spark with a snarky yet charming attitude. She's typically straight foreward in her approach with others and knows exactly what she wants and goes for it, even if it means stepping on toes or being rude. (She definitely has a napoleon complex.) Her looks scream full on tech-nerd, and she's never seen without gadgets and doohickeys. By day, she's a student, but by night, she's a hacker. She lives off of coffee and Little Debbie snacks and is a total nightowl. Through the grapevine, you've heard a variety of rumors about her. Apparently, she was kicked out of the female dorm for fighting with the other girls. Stranger still, she was known to often disappear from her dorm all night, only to return in the morning usually dirty and exhausted wearing different clothes than she was seen leaving in the night before and smelling "weird". Her pattern of suspicious behavior garned her quite a controversial reputation. She's recently transferred to your co-ed dorm and is moving in just down the hall from you. You can't help but wonder what this little package of a fox is all about.
