characters and world building
7 years ago
would people like to ask me questions about my characters?
this would help me with world building and might be fun.
My 'Toon Fox https://www.furaffinity.net/view/24068110/ https://www.furaffinity.net/view/15824129/ whom is not actually named Dean
My 'Toon Maned Wolf https://www.furaffinity.net/view/28439924/ https://www.furaffinity.net/view/19406195/
My Minion Fox https://www.furaffinity.net/view/12709525/ https://www.furaffinity.net/view/16422137/

But let's ask some world-building questions:
* how many moons?
* lots of ocean or very little ocean?
* number of sentient species?
* overall world government or individual nation-states?
* If they were all human what time period would they be set in?
* Do they live in large family groups (aunties, uncles, grandparents) or tiny family groups?
* do most live in houses, apartments, ranches, cities, villages?
* hot, cold, or moderate environment? How extreme is the weather?
* what kind of foods do they eat? If most are carnivores then they probably rely on fish or things pretty low on the food chain (like bugs)
* what kinds of games do the kids play?
* do they travel at certain times of the year?
* how do they bury their dead (or do they?)
* average lifespan? (would kids have parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, great-great grandparents all living?) The shorter the lifespan the lower the literacy and scholarship and the less access to history they have.)
* what's the military like? Do they use hired mercenary forces?
* how do they get around (transportation)
* what kind of toys do they have?
* do they gamble?
* do they play games like chess?
* how literate are they?
* Are their musicians generally soloists? Bards? Bands? Orchestras?
....I should do a class on this at Further Confusion, shouldn't I?
how many moons?)
They are from an Earth timeline where 'Toons and humans coexist so "two" moons. (one 'Toon moon per 'Toon Town and one Moon people want to go walk on)
oceans)
Oceans would be exactly the same.
Species)
There are more sentient species as the sheer variety of Toons there are.
governments)
World governments are similar if not identical.
time)
Time period would be the early 1950's specifically 1950.
Family groups)
That depends based on each individual family but I think I like the idea of going to visit Grandma and Grandpa so smaller family groups are a thing too.
Housing)
The range of housing is across all these and even include Earths or houses dug into the ground. (their family has one of these they live in great on heating and cooling bills!)
Environment)
The weather patterns are much like the actual patterns in our world in their locations California has cali weather and Atlantis has Atlantean weather.
Foods)
There are Omnivores, Carnivores, and Herbavores but the non sentient species still exist so things like hunting other sentient species is more Toony rabbit season Duck season.
games)
kids play similar games Jon introduces their nieces and nephews to "sardines" basically reverse hide and seek one hides and everyone looks then tries to hide with them till everyone is jammed in like sardines.
Travel)
yes as the 'Toons have as stated above hunting seasons so I.E. duck season Ducks tend to go on vacation and so on etc. Vacations happen like normal though school lets off in the summer and begins again in the fall so family reunions/ road trips are a thing.
the deceased)
This again is based on family decisions 'Toons can choose to bury their family members much as humans have choices.
lifespans)
This ranges widely as some 'Toons live longer lifespans then humans. I can see great great grandparents for some being a thing
Military)
This is a tricky one 'Toons can be in the military but they will have a target on their back for sure. (from the enemy side usually)
Transportation)
Much like our world there are cars, trucks, planes, trains, but there is more as some of these will be sentient like jenny the blue coupe but these might be limited in use, and lets don't forget that the bigger 'Toons might get paid as couriers to literally just move people and or things across town think Taur Taxi being a thing
Toys)
The same but you would see more 'Toon toys and Brands
Gambling)
Yes some will gamble but with 'Toons you can lose more than your shirt, you can lose your fluff 'Toons can be occasionally seen walking home wearing barrels after losing badly.
Chess)
Yes games like this are loved and I would think the Variety would be more substantial with the ones 'Toons make but their rules might be annoying to humans
Literacy)
Literacy is from the 1950's as is the current time period they live in "toons will have certain classes/ schools to teach them important 'Toon things (think Looniversities)
Music)
This ranges as there is the major music types and this is of the big band ear waning and the Rock and Roll era gearing up, so you will see all types
should you do a class on this at FC)

Johnathan (Fox) steak is good medium with a baked potato, likes Soda but he will search out good Ice cream Vanilla is high on the list, he dislikes cherry anything so no cherry on top for him.
Jon (maned wolf) likes sugar Soda his favorite flavor is cherry but is not as picky food is something to eat and get to dessert
Childhood memories)
Johnathan playing with his friends the family of Foxes and their adventures
Jon has amnesia and can't remember his childhood but is making new memories with his family
How tall)
Johnathan is around 6'3" flatfooted or plantigrade like a human doesn't feel his ears should count.
Jon ranges as he is digitigrade he will walk plantigrade but is shorter than Johnathan but is well over 7' when he actually stands up properly he says ears counts as he reaches 8' 1 1/4".
Color)
Johnathan likes blue and will buy blue products without noticing he is doing it.
Jon likes colors doesn't remember his favorite but he tends to go for the lighter shades usually defaults to sky blue
Skills)
Johnathan went to college and may have a degree in something he tends to work setting up gags for cartoons think rube goldberg things
Jon is a pretty good mechanic and given tools can "fix" most anything
Petpeeves)
Johnathan loves his fluffy tail but gets odd about it or him being grabbed dislikes when Jon borrows his clothes as they seldom come back in the same condition or at all
Jon dislikes rude people has a similar apprehension about people grabbing him doesn't like when people don't understand amnesia
accident)
Both were it's how they were reunited/ met introduced as they ended up giving each other blood
Johnathan remembers most of his accident getting crushed by a boulder
Jon's memory begins in the hospital room cannot remember what happened to him but he has his family now which is nice :)
Hobbies)
Johnathan likes random things Drawing making things and loves playing with cars tinkering etc makes Jon's car safer found out about Bonneville from Jon but doesn;t have the free time he would like to.
Jon likes Driving fast and will tend to ignore safety things as "I'm a 'Toon what could happen." dreams of Bonneville and has the free time to do things.
Music)
this is where they differ again as their moods swap Johnathan and Jon like similar things at different times, one likes classical when one like fast and bouncy and vice versa
Johnathan will use music to calm and unwind after a long day
Jon can't sleep to music
Extra tidbit Jon his brother took this name as he didn’t know his
