Dario

Dario is quite tall, about 6 foot and whilst not muscular, his body is as lithe and powerful as a cat. An athlete by proffession, he has transferred those skills across to becoming an assassin, working (or so he believes) for Elysia, the Goddess of Life. Dario became convinced that his wife Aranaya had engaged in an illicit affair with Valiliklaw, the Darkness, and that a child had been borne of this liason, a child he had once believed was his. He slew his eight-year old son and almost killed his wife, before being arrested and thrown into a high security prison.

Here he remained for some years - long enough for Aranaya to begin rebuilding her life, and then, freed by the Nocturne he has joined them, although in his warped and deluded mind, he still believes he is working for the hands of the Light>

A mane surrounds his head and cheeks, and his ears are tufted. His pelt is pitch black, broken only for his piercing red eyes that seem to hold a seething, dark, insanity. In clothing, he mostly wears very tight black clothing (so you can see the muscles on his chest) and equally close-fitting leggings, and a belt, with such adornments as one might suspect on a professional asssssin. In public he covers it up with an ankle length trenchcoat.

I have not drawn him myself yet - at least not in a manner of which I would care to show, but here are some lovely pictures drawn by some equally lovely people:

	As drawn for Aalbich's Aslyum. A great picture - esp since they had nothing more then a text desc to go by.		Sketch by the artist now known as Chi as part of a trade.

Tawny

Tawny is slender, almost willowy, but has a wicked set of retractable claws on her, so don't mess with this civet! She looks not unlike a cougar in general appearance, but is in fact a member of the Viveridae family. Her tail is long and whip-like and twitches when she is displeased. Her eyes are burnished gold and seem to hold nothing more then mockery of all they behold, her pelt a tawny gold . Both ears are heavily pierced and her belly button is encircled in a sun-shaped tattoo. This is a mutated symbol of Elysia, the Goddess of the sun. She wears it in defiance of the God. Her hair is twilight blue and falls to her shoulders in waves.

She is a sadist and delights in manipulating and causing both physical and emotional pain in others. Indeed, a hobby she takes particular fascination in is torturing small animals, such as watching mice (non-morphic) dying slowly in a trap or pulling the wings off cockroaches. One cannot stay around her for any period of time without feeling she would like to try this on a sentient being.

Her clothing consists of leather and lots of chains. Her most preferred item of apparal is something like a cross between a toga and an apron. It wraps over one shoulder and partially covers the opposite breast, belted at the waist with a tight piece of sinew and falls into a sort of loincloth/skirt that shows off a lot of leg without being indecent and also provides enough room for her to swing her tail in quite an arc, should the need arise.

Fossa are the natural predators of lemurs, in this world we call home, and in Furritasia it is little different - the Fossa and Lemur-kin have been opposed for generations.

Drawn by Pickalock for her to auction (with permission), here's Tawny with some sort of giant lizard. Not a 100% accurate representation, but cute nonetheless.

Looking her most conceited, this delightful birthday picture was from Shi

Doctor Gidget

Dr Gidget is small and gangly, with long limbs and large frog-like fingers and toes. His eyes are buggish and if one were to engange him in conversation, one would notice that he never focuses on living beings for very long at all. His hair is short, brown and usually kept slicked back, well out of his face where it cannot get in his way. His eyes are an orange colour and his pelt is tan brown, tinted with orange, except around the belly and hands/feet where it is a darker chocolate colour as are his ears and tail tip. His tail is long and thin, terminting in a tuft of hair.

Typically, Dr Gidget wears a lab coat that is far too big for his small frame, beneath this he wears baggy shorts and t-shirts. He never wears shoes, but has been known to wear gloves when conditions require it. Typically he can be found dismantling things to see how they work, prodding at things to see what happens. He is never still and fidgets like crazy getting easily restless. He is also somewhat demented and often talks to himself, babbling away in a soft and quite voice, possibly running a commentary of everything he is doing. Noone listens for long.

Gidget is not so much evil as very single-minded. He has no regard for sentient or non-sentient living beings at all, seeming to regard them as little more then an inconvenience, getting in the way of his tireless research.

Deryk

Deryk Almeeda is a Meerkat and the third son of a duke (well, second son now his older brother has died), thus has been trained in sword-play, chivalry and (although not intentionally) poisons. He is kinda a bit on the poncy, flamboyant side, always trying to impress the ladies with his fancy stories (much of which are fabricated) and illustrating such stories with many gestures and much enthusiasm.

In appearance he is fairly short (about 5'6") slender, with golden fur barred with brown down his back and the tip of his tail, and hands. His head fur is shaped into a rather impressive mohawk, of which the front strands drape sexily over his eyes. His eyes are pale blue, and he has a teardrop style pattern painted on the fur beneath them.

He normally wears a tunic of fine weave (feel free to add much embroidery) and calfskin leggings. Like most Furrae, he goes barefoot and rarely wears armour. At his belt hangs two short swords, their scabbards decorated in pictographic writing.

Randolph

Randolph is of fairly large build for a mage, most of it muscle. He's around the 6' mark (which is tall for a Furrae) and has long greasy dark hair, usually drawn back in a ponytail and a pointy goatee. He is noted to always wear an eye-patch, although the more observant observer will notice that it changes side frequently. One eye is a bright, lively green and the other a murky grey-blue.

He dresses formally, favouring shirts with voluptuos sleeves (all the better to hide things in) and lace, plus his ever present black cape and staff. His staff is as tall as he, with a clawed hand clutching an orb on one end. He is a skilled mage and rather arrogant to boot. Often in his company is found a pure white raven with golden beak and blue eyes. This is his Familiar and he can see through its eyes and talk through its mouth.

Randolph is rather interested in politics and is also rather manipulative. For example, when he got involved with the politics of Tira-Inle, the School of Magick, things went rather wrong... He loves manipulating people and watching the ensuring fights.

Lilith

Whereas Tawny manipulates mind and Randolph manipulates behaviour, Lilith manipulates flesh. Flesh shaping is generally considered little more then the ability to heal by touch, but Lilith has taken it rather further, With simple caresses, she can twist flesh, bone, muscle and sinew contained within a living body. As can be seen by casting a glance at her. The hairs on her back have been modified into porcupine quills that she can erect and frequently does when angered. Her skull has also been shaped, drawn into a bone "helmet" and flat-boned antlers. She claims to have done it herself, but such self-manipulation is almsot impossible.

Aside from her deformities, Lilith is more-or-less a normal Flying Fox Furrae. Her arms have modified into wings, although she does have highly dextrous thumbs and feet. The wing webbing extends to just above her tail which she has also modified into a freeswinging, whip-like appendage. Her clothing is minimal and somewhat apron-like (it has to be for the wings), and fastens at the groin. She does not wear shoes - they would impede her toes, which she uses much like hands. Whilst capable of flight, she cannot lift off from the ground and needs instead to hurtle herself from a top storey window. When not hunting or flesh-shaping she can be found in the attic, hanging upside down, much like her wild cousins.

Lilith appears half-feral at times, but this is mainly show. She is aware of her fearsome appearance and uses it to he advantage. She is one of the quieter of the Nocturne, more content to sit back, listen and plot.

Luka

Ten years old and more then a little fey, Luka is a "fire-bringer" and can call, manipulate and control fire. Or would be able to if she had actually been trained for it. As it is, she has not received training and therefore is highly unpredicatable and dangerous. Just like her talent, her temper runs hot, the smallest thing can make her scream in righteous fury but as quickly she is calm and happy once more. Just your typical child you might say - but at ten years old she should know better.

She is short and skinny, her eyes a bright and vibrant blue with orange flecks that turn her whole eyes orange when she calls the fire. Her black hair has been cut into a straight fringe across her forehead and straight around her shoulders. She should be dressed in fiarly scruffy, hand-me-down clothes (she has been raised in a poorly-funded Orphanage, after all).
