Up until now I had yet to acknowledge the adoptables I've received from gogonow for a pretty she-male feline that I'm actually thinking of reselling; yookami for a boy named Quoil rani for a pair of gallant knights; egliria for a necromancer by the name of Nathaniel; ribbun for a demon named Biaqui Voux and his little feline friend Seth; anniehyena for a lovely non-anthro "emo wolf" that I've gifted to ravenfoxclaw; inkydreams for a little slave boy of undetermined species named Spikey; nascimur for a character who looks like he belongs in a Castlevania game who 've yet to name; shadowpelt for an exorcist who soothes spirits and allows them to pass on via a Pied Piper-like ritual which she performs with a hand-carved flute; zipperface for an mean-looking bunny I'm naming Yi-ho Jjintta (points if you get the reference) who's going to become acquainted with my fox character Lee Tennyson at some point during his misadventures; and lastly buko-pet for a female bat that I've decided to call Mora in honor of the recently released XBL arcade game Sine Mora. All of these characters and their owners will be shown the proper respect they're due once I've gotten around to cleaning up / restarting my account, which may still take a few more weeks, but rest assured it'll get done.

EDIT: Still need to spread the word about this journal to who knows how many others.

EDIT #2: zerospanda sold me a character by the name of Smokey. Smokey is an alien Symbiote who's responsible not only for the loss of Yi-ho's right eye but for a good majority of his powers as well.

EDIT #3: pkkiss sold me an unnamed human who is scheduled to appear in the upcoming webcomic series InSpectres as a background character who has a strong chance of turning into something more.

EDIT #4: While not technically an adoptable, I purchased an awesome Foo Demon design for use in the aforementioned InSpectres comic from the amazing chanicle-bullie.

EDIT #5: I snagged a lovely changeling pony from a8scond who henceforth shall be known to all as Prince Langstroth, son of Queen Chrysalis! (This one was truly a Godsend, lemme tell ya!)

EDIT #6: My second NSFW adoptable comes from the team of silbuur and miiko, who gave birth to an absolutely wonderful Pony design named Jizzstain that I'm thinkin' has to work at Equestria's only known brothel, wherever that may be.

EDIT #7: linkaton-furaito was kind enough to sell me a truly epic demon pony design for use in my MLP fanon that I've decided to name Cendrillion, which is French for "Of The Ashes." (Trust me, the name fits.)

EDIT #6: Great thanks and props go to suketchilt for her stunning medieval hyena mercenary design, who has since found itself in shared custody with yours truly and phantomhive.

EDIT #9: Nabbed a second changeling pony from a8scond who from this point on shall be addressed as Princess Mellifera, the sister of the aforementioned Prince Langstroth and daughter of Queen Chrysalis!

EDIT #10: enjoiPANDAS was kind enough to let me adopt Moon Clip, a pony who I'm going to be turning into the "anti-Applejack!"

EDIT #11: Picked up a lovely little "Shy Mage" design from destelka for use in future medieval RPs!

EDIT #12: Got another pony design from the lovely enjoyPANDAS named Sterling who's going to be an antagonizing love interest of Moon Clip's!

EDIT #13: Purchased another lovely pony design from censored who presently doesn't have a name but who has a distinct love for anything heavy metal.

EDIT #14: This particular character, a shota boy created by czar, is a most interesting specimen. Not only did I not purchase him for myself, but his new owner (Phantomhive) took his design to places that I nor Czar would have even thought about. Don't believe me? Click here!

EDIT #15: Nabbed a very seductive looking succubus character who was created in a joint effort by the aforementioned Czar and ali. Like Censored's pony, she doesn't have a name yet, but I'm open to suggestions!

EDIT #16: Picked up two adoptables; an angel-like hybrid from katze-kumi and a warrior girl from wonderfullyg. Like the shota boy that Czar made, I gifted these two designs away. Don't worry though! They've gone to good homes! In fact you can see their profiles here and here!

EDIT #17: Picked up an absolutely adorable couple of characters from Wonderfully G named Ryan and Zach. What's nice about 'em is that they're actually a couple!

EDIT #18: Rescued jay-pup's adorable character Qynn Surge, and by "rescue" I mean I jumped on him and shoved my money into Jay's wallet before anybody else had the chance to adopt him!

EDIT #19: Picked up my first ever bloodspill design! I'm so happy! She's a soccer lovin' pony by the name of Blaze Kick! (Update: on 04/25/2015 partial control of this character was granted to user Hoagiebot.)

EDIT #20: Picked up two more designs from the great Suketchilt, namely a male polar bear and a one-of-a-kind male "daemotter" who're all going to serve in the same mercenary outfit as the hyena I got from him back in May!

EDIT #21: Just adopted from freeska a very interesting feral lupine with ties to the immaterium. Like so many of my recently adopted characters, I don't have a name for this one just yet. But I'm sure I'll come up with something!

EDIT #22: Picked up a cute little fox boy from adoptabless for a friend of mine who was feelin' not so well!

EDIT #23: The first purchase of 2013 comes from fent, who is also responsible for writing this lovely description! "Born to a prestigious family, this husky is a well spoken break your arm kinda brute. The bottle is more concern to him than the well being of anyone else. Never without some class (or a flask of whiskey), he spends time intimidating potential 'clients' for protection."

EDIT #24: From doodlies comes a dead ringer for a preexisting character of mine who unfortunately never had the graces of being drawn. Thank you so much, Doodlies! Because of you I've finally got a face to go with Carolyn "Farrah" Ferrari!

EDIT #25: Snagged a really nifty monster girl from yanderedanshi that was turned into a gift for a friend of mine who suffers from clinical depression.

EDIT #26: Picked up a edgy little lapine lady from saetia named Dominique, who I think is goin' to be played off as the aforementioned Ms. Ferrari's BFF!

EDIT #27: kirablue let me take her hyena Hiro off 'er paws. Thanks Kira!

EDIT #28: Purchased an absolutely adorable femboy "pawphaw" by the name of Lille from CherryBunbun! I'm not quite sure what I'm goin' to do with the little guy just yet, but I'm sure I'll think of somethin'!

EDIT #29: Grabbed an amazonian dragoness from crovirus who I've since come to call Emeriss. She's going to be joining the husky gang leader I adopted from Fent and those other medieval creatures I adopted from Suketchilt and livin' the carefree life of a mercenary!

EDIT #30: Adopted not one but four new characters from the amazing kagay! Originally the auction was for a canine pyromancer named Ignius, but Kagey was kind enough to let me adopt his three fellow mercenary companions as well and integrate them all into the one currently being run by the husky I adopted from Fent! The other characters - a horse, a tiger and a jackal - don't have names, but I'm sure I'll come up with somethin'. I usually do!

EDIT #31: Rescued a neat little demonic angel boy from CherryBunbun that I'm turnin' into a gift for a couple of dear friends of mine on their one year anniversary!

EDIT #32: I purchased a Shiba Inu from judas named Kiyoshi. What's really interesting about this character is that he was sold as a non-anthro/feral, but at no extra cost was upgraded into an anthro so I could use him in contemporary roleplaying situations! Thanks Judas!

EDIT #33: I got my first ever Phantomhive adoptable today! His name's Primo Del Rey and accordin' to his creator he "... is a private PI type a la L.A Noire. Does private jobs, kind of a cheeky dick. No one likes going to him because he's a dick. But honestly he does such good work you can't argue with him!"

EDIT #34: Rescued one of mousu's pony designs from CherryBunbun. I say "rescued" because I just couldn't bear to see the guy go to anybody else! His given name is Mula Sem Cabeca, which in English means Headless Mule, but I'm looking to change it at some point to somethin' far more befitting.

EDIT #35: Got m'self another Phantomhive design today! This particular character is a saucy lookin' female Red Panda who will be operating her own coffee hut in the world of CrankShaft!

EDIT #36: Adopted a nifty little "Winged Thing" from Yanderedanshi that's goin' to be used in Phantomhive's comic The Fifth Circle!

EDIT #37: Grabbed my first Pokemon tonight; a nameless Female Staraptor created by theaubri and Xaxares. Not quite sure exactly what I'm going to do with her since she was admittedly an impulse buy, but I'm sure I'll come up with somethin' exciting!

EDIT #38: Snagged a couple of designs from CherryBunbun and TheGimpyOpossum that've been subsequently gifted to Phantomhive for use in a story that we're working on together. Cherry's design is known as the "Royal Pawphaw" whereas Gimpy's is a Winged Elf Warrior. Both are truly amazing designs, and I thank their creators for allowing me to purchase them on behalf of somebody else!

EDIT #39: My friend atarimitsuku surprised me this morning by gifting me his femmy Sonic the Hedgehog OC, Fiore! Thank you so much, Atari!

EDIT #40: Bought another GimpyOpossum design tonight for a very special friend of mine who was feelin' down in the dumps. This particular design was a Moose Musketeer, or a "Moose-Keteer" as it were!

EDIT #41: Adopted an absolutely adorable little fennec boy from here-kitty--kitty today. His medieval flare makes him perfect for that mercenary group I keep mentioning! I think I'm going to call him Cox.

EDIT #42: Today I find myself in possession of Daemi, a "demon disguised as an angel" that was created by poisonous-mush from deviantART but sold to my buddy CherryBunbun! I'm thinkin' he'll make an excellent addition not only to my miscellaneous characters but also the Fifth Circle!

EDIT #43: CrankShaft gets another cast member today in the form of a female Calico that I adopted from BlitheDragon!

EDIT #44: CherryBunbun's Daemi gains a friend and potential comrade in arms today in the form of Pyr the Vampire Slayer, another GimpyOpossum original design!

EDIT #45: A design purchased from aigolios changed the game plan for a bunch of my characters today. This creature, called Teufelhunde, is... It's complicated. Sufficed to say, he's key to the survival of the aforementioned Daemi and likely any other supernatural creatures I design or adopt!

EDIT #46: Another Suketchilt was purchased today, this one a lovely female feline by the name of Lillian "Lilly" Perdeaux. Lilly will be joining the rest of my medieval characters in the fantasy world generated by renowned artist Ian R. Soulfox!

EDIT #47: Got my first ever rikawawa design today! I'm immensely happy with it too; a Zoroark Pokejinka that I'm tentatively calling "Zed" until I can think of a better name for him. He's likely going to be an arch-nemesis/love interest of another character I adopted behind the scenes a while ago, another Phantomhive creation who goes by the name of Primo Del Rey.

EDIT #48: wager218 sold me an amazing "Skulldeer" design that'll be joining characters like Daemi and Teufelhunde in what's quickly turning into one of my favorite home-brewed RP settings!

EDIT #49: Picked up a Feline Adventurer from Z-Schneider for a friend who was havin' a bad day.

EDIT #50: Out of the kindness of my heart I got a design from LapinFraise for Togika!*

EDIT #51: Got myself a rather amazin' pony from one Madshy who answers to the name Dark Desire. Not quite sure what role she's gonna play, seein' as how she was more of an impulse buy than anythin' else, but I'm sure I'll think of somethin'!

EDIT #52: From furrypuddingthegreat comes Weiss Einzelgänger, a... well... I'm actually not quite sure how to describe him, really. But he's definitely goin' to be buttin' heads with my character Daemi that's for darn sure!

EDIT #53: Once again from furrypuddingthegreat comes an amazing design, this one a wereboy that I've tentatively assigned the name Cornell Weizegger. Much like Weiss, I get the feelin' that he's goin' to be crossin' paths with my character Daemi at some point in the not to distant future.

EDIT #54: While technically not an adoptable, I did adopt a custom design from the amazing vampi to replace a design I purchased from mavu all the way back 2009.

EDIT #55: Coming from desupaint is a girl named Cassidy. Now this character is particularly interesting, seeing as how I made a deal with her creator to have two versions of her made. The original design is being gifted to another person here on FurAffinity who expressed great interest in her, while a revised design is being created specifically for yours truly. This revised design is goin' to be featured as a supporting character in the [/iInSpectres[i] setting, whenever it gets around to being rebooted.

EDIT #56: My third design purchased from furrypuddingthegreat is classified as a "Fallen Angelnaut." Like a fair share of other characters on this list, I purchased this design as a gift for a friend.

EDIT #57: Another character joins the roster today courtesy of the lovely Ali! "Calamity" Jane Colter exists within the world of Cyberpunk 2020 as a soldier of fortune specializing in crowd control. Her various scars, demon-like cyberoptic implants, and military grade cyberlimbs have made her something of a living legend!

EDIT #58: From wolframkyo comes Shayne, a nymphomaniac and lesbian that I'm hopin' to hook up with a good friend's OC.

EDIT #59: From pn09 comes a design from zipperface that I'd actually considered picking up back when it was first uploaded. I'm pretty sure he's goin' to fit in quite well with Daemi and the rest of his friends!

EDIT #60: Nabbed a fantastic human-dragon hybrid design from phoenix-of-a-down named Rufus for the always awesome Phantomhive!

EDIT #61: From mad-zombie comes Kīmasutā, a boy trying to buy his way into Heaven with the souls of monsters that he slays. He's also the nemesis of Daemi, for he's the one responsible for locking away the fallen angel's Grace!

EDIT #62: I got an absolutely fantastic angel design from Rani today! And you can bet your last dollar that he's goin' to run into my other "religious" archetypes at some point!

EDIT #63: The Pirate Two-Tail, another absolutely awe inspiring Gimpy Opossum design, today finds itself in the hands of (who else?) Phantomhive thanks to yours truly!

EDIT #64: Snatched up two designs from LavvytheJackalope today! The first one, a "Paw Scientist" has been gifted to my good friend CherryBunBun while the other design, the charming-yet-roguish "Rose Prince" becomes my first ever Ni No Kuni OC!

EDIT(S) #65 - #76: In what's been a very hectic two weeks I've picked up no less than eleven designs! Six from CherryBunBun, one from ZerosPanda, one from Shy Panda Studios, one from Deadthings, one from ominous-artist of deviantART and one from Rehmiel of deviantART! (...)

EDIT #77: Adopted m'self an uber cute Demon Prince from PinkNekoSan! Much like the Rose Prince and several of the characters that I recently nabbed from CherryBunBun, he is going to be playing a vital role in my Ni No Kuni RP!

EDIT #78: Grabbed five elemental demon designs from Rani!

EDIT: #79: Snagged an amazing "evil prince" design from prince-di-caos on deviantART! This one was a real surprise, since it wasn't even created as an adoptable in the first place, and because of that I was able to adopt him for exactly nothin'!

EDIT #80: Won a "fox guy" design in an auction from Belzoot today! Much like the Demon Prince, the elemental demons and the "evil prince," this design is going to have a major part to play in my upcoming Ni No Kuni RP!

EDIT #81: From tiffany-tees comes another fantastic demon design that I also plan on using in my Ni No Kuni RP!

EDIT #82: Got m'self another SuketchiLT design today, a "Navy Fox" who looks like he'll fit right in with my Star Fox OC!

EDIT #83: Received access to two designs from deviantART's Verendi as well as a truly epic angel design from the aforementioned Rehmiel thanks to the absolutely, positively wonderful CherryBunBun! Seriously, girl, I'm supposed to be the one who spoils people, not the other way around!

EDIT #84: Picked up a "Cleer" named Lavender for Phoenix-of-a-Down tonight by way of apologizing for an inadvertent slight I made against her a while back. (I hope you like him, Phoenix!)

EDIT #85: Grabbed an absolutely bad-ass "Oni Girl" from fossils!

EDIT #86: Rehmiel was kind enough to allow me to rescue one of his old designs, a roguish magician with an Ace of Diamonds motif!

EDIT #(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻: For whatever reason it completely slipped my mind to mention saetia and iko, both of whom were responsible for two absolutely beautiful equine designs that I gifted to my good friend Buck last year!

EDIT #87: From furrealart comes one of currently only two members of her closed species who appear humanoid but whose souls can physically manifest around them in spirit animal form! The one I got was naturally lupine and nature, and it's because of that that I've decided to name him Korgano. Korgano Hollowkin to be exact! (Hollowkin being the prototype name for the species in question!) Thanks Furreal!

EDIT #88: From a source who wishes to remain anonymous I received a surprising gift in the form of Miss Mina, an anthropomorphic version of the Cat who's a part of the legendary Town Musicians of Bremen!

EDIT #89: From saylorboo comes a truly bad-ass cyborg gal appropriately named C-1!

EDIT #90: From Corvidium on DA comes an unnamed "horned traveler" who I plan to introduce in my long gestating Ni No Kuni RP!

EDIT #91: From the amazingly patient crestvyne comes Lavaliere Rhombus, a "Diamond Fox" who will be acting as the assistant to Aven Diamant, the aforementioned roguish magician that I adopted from Rehmiel earlier this year!

EDIT #92: I picked up another design from Furreal, this one a cute little half-wolf girl that I'm going to be making the aforementioned Korgano's girlfriend!

EDIT #93: From MINthehuman comes a pleasant surprise in the form of Fog, a character that I plan to use for any future RPs or stories set in the Skullgirls universe!

EDIT #94: Technically this should be "EDIT #63" but I don't feel like going back and reorganizing everything! That's okay though, because this character is arguably one of the most special of this whole lot! Her name is Electra LaCroix and she once belonged to my good, good friend Roger Lee. She's a purple-furred, blue-haired skunk who's made a name for herself by being a damn fine police officer! Roger gave me permission to adopt her (free of charge I might add) back in December [of 2013], but I whatever reason I forgot to make a mention of the gifting until now!

EDIT #95: My first ever vixen character comes courtesy of PartyWithMaracas! Because of her enchanting color scheme (gold and orange) I've decided to name her Dawn! Dawn is set to exist in the same quasi-realistic setting as the rest of traditional anthro characters!

EDIT #96: Once again the ranks of my medieval mercenary team, the Dishonored, grows thanks to my good friend Kagay! Eri, as I've come to call him, is your archetypal rogue; silent, brooding and deadly to a fault.

EDITS #97 & 98: In exchange for a neat looking human being sold by fallenone05, I got a rather spiffy looking bat-like creature from bonelo! Unfortunately Fallen doesn't remember who originally designed the character that I picked up. But if you go here and direct your attention to the top-right, you'll see who I'm referrin' to. If anybody has any information regarding the original artist, please be sure to let me know so that I can properly credit them!

EDIT #99: From the up-and-coming BebeDux comes a freaking awesome African Wild/Painted Dog named Ross. Ross, according to his creator, is "... passive, quiet guy. Confident, though, and doesn't take crap." I think he's going to get along great with the rest of my principal cast. Thank you, BD!

EDIT #100: Holy crap! 100 edits, guys and gals! And this comes courtesy of the aforementioned FallenOne05! So what've we got this time? A rather macho lookin' "punk boy" of her own design that from this moment on will be playing the part of the best friend of the character that I adopted from her recently! Thank you so much, Fallen!

EDIT #101: From AngelAito and my good friend Sergeant Buck comes Carsten, an effeminate German Shepherd boy! Thanks for giving me the opportunity to rescue this guy, Buck!

EDIT #102: I got my greedy little mits on a truly wonderful design of biaknight who has since become the son of two characters belonging to the always awesome Phantomhive. His name's Puck, and he's scheduled to be featured in a spin-off of Phantomhive's long gestating story "Fifth Circle" called "Sæv 'um". He will be appearing alongside a bunch of other characters that I briefly mentioned in EDIT(S) #65 - #76!

EDIT #103: Picked up a great "Hell Cat" design from blue_snow_leopard who I think is going to fit in nicely with the rest of my supernatural oriented characters!

EDIT #104: Two new designs fell into my lap today, one from the aforementioned Bia and another from my wonderful friend Mattie (aka CherryBunBun)! Bia's design, a she-wolf who I've since converted into a succubus named Faire Filer. The character I got from Mattie actually originates from the gallery of uzucake. He's an homage to Bravely Default's Tiz Arrior, and as such was given the name Bryce Papenbrook in honor of his English voice actor! Bia, Mattie? Thank you so much!

EDIT #105: From scurrythefurry comes a perky-looking squirrel girl that I've decided shall be named Nicole Hazelfield! Thanks, Scurry!

EDIT #106: From Kuder comes two characters; an "Orawaga" that I'll be gifting to my good buddy Ian R. Soulfox, and a Gnome Girl who just so happens to be a near-exact match for the mental image I've been painting of a WoW OC named Charlotte for a good number of years now! Thank you so much, Kuder!

EDIT #107: From sansunari comes Hershey, a totally adorkable puppy girl who shall henceforth be the BFF of the aforementioned Nicole Hazelfield! Thanks, Sanusari! <3

EDIT #108: From castiel (but drawn by kizuguchi) comes an absolutely gorgeous Okacoon lady that I've decided to call Carnation in lieu of her unique hair color. I gave it some thought that I do believe that I'm going to be throwing her in with my slowly growing cast of Star Fox OCs. Thank you so much to both Kisu for creating her and Castiel for allowing me to give her another home!

EDIT #109: From inkmaven, inkfang and spirix comes a truly amazin' lookin' cheeta who answers to the name of Lola Valkyrie! Given that she was designed with aMass Effect-like setting in mind, I'm goin' to be havin' her joining Carnation and my other Star Fox OCs! Thank you so much, you three! She's gone to a good home, I swear it!

EDIT #110: From lginsukel comes a character similar to Rehmiel's Aven Diamant and Crestvyne's Lavaliere Rhombus! Unlike Aven and Lavaliere, however, this character is inspired by the Spade playing card. Nevertheless, I'm going to have the three of them coexist together somehow! Now all I need to do is think of a name for her. Hmm...

EDIT #111: From t0nystark comes yet another gift for the consistently amazing Phantomhive! Yes, I know they're no longer active here on FA, but that doesn't mean I don't keep in contact with 'em! Anyway, this particular character is a really slick lookin' red-eyed demon guy! Thank you so much, t0ny!

EDIT #112: Got three more designs today, this time from the talented shazuku! They are Xeros the Fennec, Lycus the Wolf Mage and Yanagi the Cat! I'm keepin' Xeros for myself while giftin' the other two to my good friend Soulfox. Thank you, Shazuku!

EDITS #113 & 114: I've recently come to acquire two designs from the great DemonNyuu, both of them she-wolves. One of them I acquired from her directly before my PayPal account was locked, the other was gifted to me by my dear friend Buck! The former is going to be named Ciel, on account of her hair color being referred to as "Deep Sky Blue" in artist circles. The latter is going to be named Larka, in honor of a dear friend of mine who not only has a similar affinity for wolves but a habit of making original characters with red hair! Thank you so much to both Nyuu and Buck for these wonderful characters, I promise you that I'll treat 'em well!

EDIT #115: Purchased an absolutely adorkable raccoon girl for Phantomhive from drunkenfist today! Given that the character looked so much like a previous incarnation of one of his more iconic characters, there was no way that I couldn't let them go to someone else!

EDITS #116 & 117: Thanks to Lupa_Velectra and Tiomara I've come to acquire two absolutely outstanding designs that will soon be put to use in a project that I've recently found myself attached to! The first design from Lupa is a self-described "rocker babe" of an Australian Shepherd who we've named Roxanne "Roxy" Webster. Tiomara's design is more sinister in nature; a "Spookbeast" with multiple eyes who answers to the name Matanohi-kun!

EDITS #118 & 119: Over the weekend I've managed to snag two more wonderful designs, one from Elidyr and another from RavenWorksStudios. Just like the last two designs that I adopted, I have plans to feature them in a project that I'm currently working on with a good friend of mine! But I digress. Elidyr's design is a phantom Kitsune that I've named Kishin Usuguraidesu, which loosely translated from Japanese means "Wrathful Deity of Shadow." The second design was given form by AnnMartini / RUSSMUTT but nevertheless created by Raven Blackmoon of the aforementioned Raven Works Studios. He has no name other than the Smiling Dog, but his design is just so wonderfully demented that I felt he'd fit in with what's comin'! So thank you so much, Elidyr, Raven and Ann / Muss! Rest assured that these characters are in good hands!

EDIT #120: Grabbed an absolutely wicked Lady Warrior design from Plu, which was originally created for him by ZerOlativity! She's going to be a Re:Creators OC who answers to the name of Amərəs. Before appearing in the real world, Amərəs was the star of a high-quality eroge designed to appeal to fans of action-adventure hack and slash video games like Devil May Cry, Bayonetta, and Metal Gear Rising. Her name is meant to be an indicator of this, as it is literally the pronunciation of the word "amorous." Her actual character is portrayed as a sadomasochistic tsundere whose attacks and access to special abilities grow the longer that she's able to maintain a combo attack. At certain "peaks" she channels her sexual energy into the turbine built into her gunblade, which then can release it in any number of ways, often with explosive results! Honestly, I don't think I could've asked for a better design! Thank you so much, Plu and ZerO!

EDIT #121: While I technically adopted this character before the aforementioned Lady Warrior, I wasn't allowed to claim her as my own until I finished paying off my debt to the artist. Well, as of today that debt is settled, and I now have access to a seriously kick-ass bionic vixen designed by the wonderful and wonderfully talented CosmicDanger! Thank you so much, C.D.! I promise you that I'll treat this gal well!

EDIT #122: From SushiNomster comes a green-eyed, brown-furred wolf designed by BeSSeB. I'm going to make this guy a Skullgirls OC named Talbot who walks the path of a battle butler! Big thanks to Sushi for letting me snipe him, and to BeSSeB for designing him in the first place!

EDIT #123: Today marks a truly momentous occasion. I managed to reunite my character C-1 with her brother, C-2, thanks to DeviantArt's very own Shijinno! Much like C-1, C-2 was created by SaylorBoo. Unfortunately I was unable to purchase them together at the time, as the blow to my wallet would've been far too great. Earlier this year I was told by Shijinno that he had plans to resell C-1, and because I'd showed interest in him in the past he was willing to give me dibs. But, once again, I was unable to meet the asking price. However! Several weeks ago, on a whim, I sent Shijinno a Note asking him if C-1 was still available for sale, and that if he was, would he be willing to let me pay him in weekly installments rather than in one large lump sum. Well given that I'm making this edit, I'm sure you can guess what his response was! So thank you so very much, Shijinno, for bein' such an amazing person to work with, and an amazing person in general!

EDIT #124: Thanks to my good buddy Buck I was able to nab a beautiful magpie design from Natsukis_Commishes! She's going to make an excellent addition to the cast of... well... you'll see!

EDIT #125: I actually meant to mention this back in December of 2015. As a Christmas present, the often aforementioned Buck turned the rights of his gynoid character Sarah over to me. I was actually fortunate enough to have several prominent in-character interactions with Sarah over the years. Buck and I had even decided that she was the property of my Shadowrun Decker, who would use her as a kind of glorified drone to perform jobs for people. So naturally it came as a big surprise to learn that Buck was thinking of selling her! Thankfully I was able to talk him into sharing custody of the character instead, meaning that while she now technically belongs to me, she's still a character that he's allowed to make use of. There's not much else to say, other than I'd also like to give credit and thanks to Madopts for designing the character!

EDIT #126: Grabbed an absolutely magnificent specimen of a lynx from SunnyOwi tonight. I don't have a name for her just yet, but I'm most definitely going to be pairing her up with my cheetah Lola and my buddy Buck's she-wolf Dominika. Together the three of 'em are going to roam the galaxy, working as soldiers of fortune for the Association of Interstellar Mercenaries!

EDIT #127: You're going to need to visit http://www.furaffinity.net/view/21150317/ for the story behind this particular entry, because most of the story plays out in the comments.

EDIT #128: From the unbelievably awesome Xx_G.U.N_xX comes a mysterious hedgehog formerly known as Deuce. I say "formerly" because G.U.N. stipulated that whoever claimed the character absolutely had to change his name. I have several different alternatives in mind, but for the moment I'm going to be calling him Dee. As someone who is not only a major fan of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise but also of G.U.N.'s work, it's nothing short of an honor to be able to claim this boy as my own!

EDIT #129: Received a very pleasant surprise from the folks of Studio Qube this morning. A while back I sent them an e-mail letting them know that there were two (technically three) designs of theirs that I absolutely loved, because they fit right in with the mental image(s) I had of my Shadowrun OC. These designs were removed from the studio's DeviantArt page nearly a year ago, and hadn't turned up anywhere else, so I asked them if it would be alright if I used them. Naturally I let them know that I didn't have any plans to turn a profit with them, and that they would always get full credit. Well, in case it wasn't obvious by now, they said 'yes!' I'm not going to upload the designs here out of respect for their original creator(s), but I can tell you that one of them is a "digital cowboy" while the others are described as being "children of the drift advent." I seriously can't thank their creator(s) enough for this privilege!

EDIT #130: From Jonouchi_Mutt comes the new face of my primary Star Fox OC, Talion! I had adopted a somewhat similar design from SuketchiLT back in 2013, but I never really found a place - or even a chance for that matter! - to use him. But this new design meshes far better with the likes of my other two Star Fox OCs, Lola Valkyrie and the lynx that I recently adopted from SunnyOwi! Also, I'd just like to point out that this new fox actually belonged to Jonouchi's boyfriend for a time. He never used him though, and when he learned through Jonouchi that I was interested in him, he gave her his permission to resell him! So big thanks to him and Jonouchi both for this wonderful design!

EDIT #131: Picked up a really neat design from YoGoat for Phantomhive this mornin'! From what I've heard, he'll be answering to the name Dupan!

EDITS #132 & 133: I wish I could go into more detail right now, but I'm severely pressed for time. I could have held off, but the chances are that if I did so I would've forgotten to update this journal at all! From KaiserByte comes an absolutely astonishing design called The Drowned Spirit. As this character actually has a fully fleshed out story associated with him, I highly advise looking him up in Kaiser's gallery and giving it a read. It's really somethin' else, lemme tell ya! My second design comes from Hioshi and is quite literally something I can't describe, if only due to how unique a design it is. I'll be working with his creator to hash out his background at a later date, because, much like the case of the aforementioned Drowned Spirit, I don't want to deviate from the source material! Thank you both, artists! As always~ I promise to treat your creations well and with the utmost care!

EDITS #134, 136 & 136: Today's thanks goes out to Nin9day, AndroKei and L1SKA. Nin9day has very kindly allowed me to make use of an old design of his, so long as I promised to credit him whenever and wherever it's due. I've decided to portray him as a God of Destruction named Guaro. (...) From AndroKei comes a Tiniking that I purchased for the oft-mentioned Phantomhive, who's given him the name of Price. (...) From L1SKA comes a positively breath-taking "WereVamp" design that is going to act as my go-to Armello OC! (I would also like to thank the immensely talented Purpleground02 for the incredible piece of gift art that I received of the character in question!) (...)

EDIT #137: From the friendly and talented CaptnFanta comes a rather simple design; a human boy with black hair, green eyes, and a pretty awesome-lookin' shirt named Zack. As much as I love the fantastical, I will always appreciate the impact that the mundane can have as well. Best of all, though? This character was gifted to me free of charge! So thank you very much, Fanta!

EDIT #138 & 139: Two new characters join me and the oblique fantasy setting shared by my friends today courtesy of SSONG! Each character is bound to one another via a Pact forged in each other's blood! Morbid? Absolutely! But that's what happens when a monster hunter and his prey simultaneously deliver a killing blow to one another, only to then realize that they'd rather not die! Alas, I'm still developing this pair, so there's not much more I can tell you about them. But rest assured, once there's more for you to know I'll be sure to key you in!

EDIT #140: Used some of the money that I received from my folks for Valentine's Day to purchase a "Big Daddy Tiger" for my good friend Jerred, who's been absolutely wonderful to me goin' on over a decade now. I figured that it would be a great way to show him my appreciation, getting him a design that's absurdly faithful to the way he's often described his 'sona as looking! The design in question comes courtesy of KingBatman7, who you really ought to check out if you're a fan of designs that're a perfect balance between lithe and muscular! Thank you, KB7!

EDIT #141: From Aivomata and Kodaksmile comes a truly bad-ass character who I've already decided is going grounded within the broader setting of Shadowrun. This character has a little bit in common with the cyborg that I adopted from Shijinno last year, in that he was a design that I desperately wanted back when they were originally put up for sale, but who I couldn't afford at the time, but who was then resold to me several years after the fact! The actual design of the character is something that you can find over on Aivomata's page, under the simple name of 'Cyborg.' As Shadowrun isn't known for supporting anthropomorphic animal characters by default, I'm saying that this guy is... "Dreizehn Krueger, aka The Hound of Stahlstadt. Originally an Elf from Trollkönigreich Schwarzwald. His deep-rooted affinity for wolves is ultimately what made him what he is now, cybernetic augmentations and all." That, of course, is the tl;dr of his whole story. If you wanna know more about him, feel free to ask me either in the comments section down below or via a Note! But, until then, here's me sounding off my deepest and most sincere of 'thanks yous!' to the people who made it possible for me to acquire this guy!

EDIT #142: Today's update is courtesy of MFcappu and her friend RadRabbiitt over on DeviantArt! From the former come two characters, a Steven Universe OC / Gemsona called Citrine, and a Naruto OC named Mikun. From the latter comes Mikun's lover, Raijin, and their cat, Francis! The Citrine is described by her creator as being an architect not unlike Overwatch's Symmetra, in that she is capable of constructing practically anything that her imagination allows her to through the use of cybernetic prosthetics that generate and manipulate hard light! As for Mikun and Raijin? Well, Mikun is an Ice Release specialist who originally hails from the village of Kirigakure, but who met and subsequently fell in love with the Raijin (and his cat) on a trip to Konohagakure. I plan to introduce them as old friends to another character of mine that's presently starring in a friend's Naruto RP that's set several hundred years after the conclusion to the manga storyline! So, thank you very much, MFcappu and RadRabbiit! Rest assured that your creations are in safe and caring hands!

EDIT #143: Today, March 17, 2017 marks a somewhat momentous occasion. It marks the day that I finally get my hands on a Mass Effect character of my very own, and one designed by the legendary 3033 no less! He's a turian with a gris carapace and royal yellow eyes that I've decided to name Eidolon, which is a kind of apparition in ancient Greek literature. I haven't yet decided whether or not Eidolon (or "Lonnie" as some of his human friends have taken to calling him) will exist as a character in the Milky Way or Andromeda. Come the 21st of this month I'll know for sure. But, for now, I'm going to go ahead and say that he's helping his fellow Blackwatch members hunt down any remaining threats that Cerberus might continue to pose to the Council Races! Thank you so very much, 3033! I couldn't ask for a better turian design to call my own!

EDIT #144: April 2, 2017, brings us two more Mass Effect designs courtesy of the aforementioned 3033 and narqwibqwib. Both of them are asari, with 3033's design coming from http://www.furaffinity.net/view/18380390/ (middle-right) and Qwib's from http://www.furaffinity.net/view/18930061/. Now you might be asking yourself, "Marcus, why're you suddenly stepping out of your comfort zone and linking us to pictures of these characters?" Let's just say that Andromeda has opened my mind to a new plateau of possibilities. These two particular characters, I knew right away, were going to be star-crossed lovers in the most literal sense. I've decided to name "middle-right" asari Linares, and the "party asari" Illyria. Linares is a Justicar, just like the legendary Samara who aided Commander Shepard during the Reaper crisis. Illyria is something that I've decided to call a Siren, in honor of the dangerous creatures from Greek mythology who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island. In this particular case, however, a Siren is an asari colloquialism assigned to a particular kind of entertainer who is capable of captivating their audience through a unique type of mind domination. (...)

EDIT #145: I received a truly wonderful gift from 3033 in the form of a salarian with unusual green eyes! This character, who I turned over to my friend Ardenith so that his own salarian OC would have a face assigned to it, has been given the name of Jikan Lomor. Jikan is a truly unusual character, in that he's essentially a high functioning husk like Saren Arterius was during the final year(s) of his life. However, unlike Saren, Jikan really is his own master. Because of his genius level intellect and the eidetic memory that's shared between all members of his species, Jikan was able to banish his would-be master's influence from his mind and make it work for him instead! Truly a fascinating - if not absolutely terrifying - character! Thank you once again, 3033!

EDIT #146: Today's edit comes to us courtesy of Plexus, who I owe so much more than just a measly 150$ to. It's thanks to him that I now now own all rights to one of his greatest creations and one of my all-time favorite Mass Effect OCs, Xylia T'Soni! When I noticed that the character had been stagnant for the last couple of years, I sent Plexus a Note asking him if he would be willing to part ways with the character, but never expecting him to actually say "yes!" When I heard back from him later on that same day letting me know that he was willing to deal, I... may have made something of a scene... in a crowded restaurant... Yeeeaaah... Anyway! While she was originally conceived for a hypothetical post-Mass Effect 3 story, Plexus gave me permission alter whatever facets of her background I deemed necessary in order for her to exist in an original story of my own that I'm presently working on! So a truly profuse amount of thanks goes out (once again) to Plexus, who is perhaps one of the most underrated masters of world building that I've ever had the honor to meet! Like, seriously, you should check him out!

EDIT #147: From The-Bumblecat and LizoLB comes a Bay-esque Cybertronian who has sworn his allegiance to the almighty Decepticons! This character was admittedly an impulse buy, and one that I probably shouldn't have made. However, this particular character has been on my radar for quite some time now. When I first saw him, he was too far out of my price range to afford. But after seeing him up for sale again for a pittanant 7$? I couldn't resist! So thank you so much to Bumble, who was selling him, and LizoLB, who designed him! I promise you both that he's in good hands! Oh, what's that? You're wondering what his name is? Call him... Blackjacket.

EDIT #148 & 149: While I actually owe this particular update to Guttermech, I actually adopted their creation - an alien queen in the literal sense - second from the two that I'm mentioning tonight. The first character actually comes from an artist over on DeviantArt who goes by LightSeeker. The funny thing about him is that he technically isn't an adoptable, rather just a character that I expressed an interest in using under the pretense that I would give her credit for him. But the exchange she and I had, which can be found here, actually led to her unofficially signing the character over to me. He's even spawned two variations, Scion and Solaris. So how does Guttermech's character fit into all of this? Retroactively. You see, it was always part of the plan that the character of Ian Matthews was stripped of his powers as a Scion and exiled to Earth after his actions led to the genocide of an alien species. This species was described as being a race of aliens who were hellbent on conquering the Milky Way as we know it, and who all operated through a massive neural network. When I saw Guttermech's design I realized that I'd found the perfect character to represent this species. Not only does she look like she's technorganic, but the reason behind Solaris' unique black and red ensemble could be his way of honoring her and showing remorse for the actions responsible for her death and the death of her species. Sorry, make that supposed death. After all, in superhero fiction not everyone is guaranteed to say dead forever! So a great big 'thank you' to LightSeeker and Guttermech, whose designs are going to be going far in the coming months!

EDIT #150: From FoXyane, courtesy of my buddy Buck, comes this handsome rogue. While I already have a fair share of characters who slot into the "slice of life" category, Cody here is an exceptional case. Why? Well the way that I see it, on top of being able to stand on his own as a completely original character, he also has the potential to double as my primary fursona! Don't get me wrong, I'm never going to dismiss Shadow / Marcus; he's been the "me" of the fandom for the better part of 20 years now! But Cody could be just the guy I need to help me air out my mind palace. (If nothing else he'd be able to alleviate any annoyance that I might feel when people mistake me for a husky. Seriously, you'd not believe how often that happens. I'm a wolf, people!) FoXyane? Buck? You have proven to me once again that there is always, always, ALWAYS something to be thankful for! And today it's the kindness that you've both shown me.

EDIT #151: Thanks to the woefully underappreciated LammaiAeran, I now have my very own Hyper Light Drifter OC! He is known simply as The Exile, and a picture of him can be found right here. Originally he was known as The Prince, and looked like this before he was converted into an adoptable, which was an aspect that I was graciously allowed to incorporate into the character's backstory. In the fanon story that I'm developing with LammaiAeran, he was rescued from certain death by this mysterious Drifter. In summary the story goes that he and his entire family - who were all nobility hailing from a shoreline kingdom to the far East - had been attempting to flee from a horde of marauders augmented by salvaged Old World technology. (...)

EDIT #152: Today's update comes courtesy of my good friend, the aforementioned CaptnFanta! From her comes the twin rabbits Aiden and Riley, who until now have been rather iconic OCs of hers! Henceforth, both of these boys are going to be attached to an upcoming project of mine that I unfortunately can't talk about just yet. At least not in detail. What I can say is that they at one point will be integral to the ensuring that a group of heroes succeeds in a perilous quest against the forces of evil!

EDIT #153: It's not often that I allow myself to give in to temptation, but after seeing this astonishing vixen pop up on the front page I just knew that I wouldn't feel right letting her go to anyone else! I've already decided to name her Misura, and make her a deity just like the legendary Asura of Asura's Wrath fame! No doubt she is going to be the single most powerful character that I have in my ever-growing cast of characters. Heck, I doubt even Guaro - my God of Destruction - would stand much of a chance against her! And of course this all wouldn't have been possible without DeadlyPeach, who not only designed the lady in question but tolerated my inane fanboying! Thank you so much, Peach! I owe you one!

EDIT #154: From the unbelievably overlooked Entarra comes this breathtaking original design who, in accordance with my dear friend Soulfox, is going to serve as a Guardian Spirit not unlike the titular character and main protagonist of Ori and the Blind Forest! We've decided to name him Umaro, in honor of a character that Soulfox created years ago but never properly had a chance to flesh out. Thank you, Entarra. To say that you have done us a kindness would be a grand understatement!

EDIT #155 / 128-2: Promethean... This one-off design has been on my radar for months now. I even asked G.U.N. before if he would be willing to part with him for a substantial sum, but was quickly rebuffed. But that changed last night - August 29, 2017 - when I saw this journal. You can see in the comment section below what happened. Anyway, this unique homage to the antagonists of the Reclaimer Saga exhibits several unique characteristics that oddly have only ever appeared on one other G.U.N. design -- the design that I previously adopted. Their faces are similar, and both of them have the same two horn-like protrusions in place of eyebrows. Because of that, I started to think that maybe this is what Deuce would have looked like if he had been handed over to the most twisted minds of the Empire of the Egg and "upgraded" with Metal Madness-like biotechnology. Actually, what if that's the case? In recent months I've been trying to come up with alternative names for the character, since G.U.N. originally asked me to abandon the name that he came with. I had for a while been calling him simply "Dee," but over time I fell into the habit of referring to him by his given name. So how does this sound? "Deuce" and "Dee" could both be nicknames given to him by his old gang, back when he still lived on the streets. His real name could be Rokushō, which is Japanese for "verdigris," which is the color of his fur. And then all too soon he's answering to that color as a name, after he's black-bagged and taken back to the heart of the Empire. Codename: Verdigris... Project Verdigris... Agent Verdigris... They all sound so good, don't you think? Can't you just imagine this brainwashed hedgehog wandering into a Freedom Fighter base, and then without warning transforming into a cybernetic death machine before everyone's eyes? Coupled with that Latin-sounding name, he seems like he'd make a perfect proxy to the aforementioned Metal Madness. G.U.N.? I've said it before and I'll say it again; I cannot thank you enough for giving me the opportunity to breathe new life into your design(s)!

EDIT #156: From LammaiAeran comes another absurdly unique design called The Moon. This agender entity of unknown origin is responsible for the tragedy that transformed my Hyper Light Drifter OC from nobility to a revenge-seeking Drifter. Somehow it has the ability to remotely hack into Old World technology and extort it to a frightening degree, similar to the way the Corruptors from Horizon Zero Dawn can. The goal of the Moon - if it even has one - is unknown... How awesome is that?! Can LammaiAeran spin a tale or what?! Ah, I'm so happy I managed to adopt this 'bot before someone else did!

EDIT #157: January 25, 2018 marks the day that I add this fine specimen by Corgzi to my ever-growing cast of characters! After much deliberation, I have decided to name him Warwick the Sightless Sword. He is going to be my second Armello OC next to Count Dralion, the so-called "WereVamp" that I adopted from L1SKA in November of 2016. Warwick is named in honor of English actor Warwick Davis, who played the part of Reepicheep in the 1989 BBC production of Prince Caspian & The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. As it stands now, I imagine that Warwick sustained his blindness during a fight against the aforementioned vampire. Incidentally, I'm thinking that same fight also would've found the Count sustaining the nasty X-shaped scar that adorns his left leg. Really, the two designs compliment each other so well, I feel practically blessed to've been given the opportunity to adopt Corgzi's creation!

EDIT #158: March 3, 2018. As of a week ago, I have added this mysterious creature to the growing cast of my and LammaiAeran's Hyper Light Drifter story. I have decided to name this character Jenova, after Jenova Chen, creator of the 2012 video game Journey. Jenova is going to be portrayed as something not unlike a sentient Sheika Stone. She will appear at random times to the stars of the story and offer them either aid or advice of some kind before vanishing as quickly as she appeared. I'd say more, but that would be dipping into spoiled material. As always, great thanks go to LammaiAeran for allowing me to adopt from them!

EDIT #159: It is March 7, 2018. Today I roll out the red carpet for a woman who I never in a million years would have thought would land in my lap outside the realm of dreams. Her name is Luna, and she comes to me courtesy of Laarel, the creator of the famous Skyrim Immersive Porn series! Up until just recently Luna was one of his most iconic pin-up girls. Then, without any kind of warning, he announces to me via PM that he was going to retire her and focus on his other more popular characters. You have to understand that this news was somewhat heartbreaking, because Luna was by far my favorite character of his. The moment that I saw her in his gallery, I went out of my way to ❤ and comment on every piece of work that featured her. So imagine my surprise when he followed this statement up by telling me that the love and admiration I had for her was such that he was willing to allow her to live on through me, by having her become one of my characters! (Seriously, I think I might've actually swooned in my chair!) Huh? What's that? You're curious to know what made me so enamored with the woman? I'll go ahead and let the contents of this Imgur gallery that Laarel made tell you that part of the story!

EDIT #160: March 12, 2018 brings me this saucy-looking specimen of the female persuasion. Designed by Strideeri for Meout, she is a one-of-a-kind character no matter how you look at her. Her original name is unknown to me, so I've decided to christen her Andrea Volkov in honor of a dear friend of mine. Andrea is going to be appearing in a project called Prime Mover, which is a re-imagining / reboot of the story that I published in this old journal of mine. I don't want to spoil anything, but I am more than happy to say that she's going to be one of the project's major characters! Naturally, my profound thanks goes out to to couple who've entrusted me with their girl! I promise you that she'll be done right by me!

EDIT #161: March 18, 2018 has seen me collect this handsome cyborg from xXNyxxieXx. It's kind of funny that I should get this guy the way that I did, because I had originally wanted to purchase him from RatCult. My money being what it was at the time, however, I was unable to grasp the opportunity. But now here is, and I couldn't be happier! I don't yet have a name for him, but I can tell you right now that he's going to be a reoccurring antagonist in that Prime Mover thing that I talked about in my last edit! As always, my deepest thanks go out to the two people who made this acquisition possible!

EDIT #162: March 21, 2018 marks the day that Wolflance's Danny the Nightmare joined my ever-growing cast of characters. Danny was a character that I became enamored with the moment that I saw her, so you can understand that I was shocked to have her creator send me a Note telling me that I was allowed first dibs when he decided to place her up for adoption. There's not a lot to say about her at the moment, but I'm sure that'll change after she's been given a proper background! (Right now she's just a wicked-looking succubus with arms made of gold that're capable of channeling her magic in a variety of ways.) My most sincere and infinite thanks to Wolflance for allowing me to add her to my roster! (Update: on 08/05/2020 this character was returned to Wolflance.)

EDIT #163: It is August 30th, 2018, and I am ecstatic. I got my hands on not one, not two, but three more of the amazing G.U.N.'s designs! Two of them are fresh takes on preexisting Sonic the Hedgehog characters, namely True Blue himself and his nefarious doppelganger Scourge. The third is a sheep of the female persuasion whose breed I haven't yet been able to identify, who I've decided to name Blessying. She's featured prominently with Scourge in the one and only picture that G.U.N. drew of them, leading me to believe that they're meant to be partners in crime. Well, who am I to alter that relationship? Except they're not going to be partners in a Bonnie & Clyde sense. Y'see, I've decided to make this version of Scourge something of a proxy to iconic 80's action hero Snake Plissken. He's going to be a criminal acting as a one-man Suicide Squad for the actual G.U.N. organization. Blessyng, on the other hand, is going to be an homage to No One Lives Forever's star character, Cate Archer. Not only is she going to be playing the part of Scourge's partner, she will also be his case officer. Anyway~, the version of Sonic that I got is going to be the archenemy of my brother's principal Sonic OC, Kit, who you can see here! Whether or not he's had a chance encounter or two with his green-furred doppleganger or their nefarious cousin (see: EDIT #128 & EDIT #154 / 128-2) have yet to be seen. In any case, profuse amounts of gratitude are once again heaped upon G.U.N. for giving me the opportunity to add these incredible designs to my ever-growing cast of characters!
