Stuff About Merly's World!
General | Posted 9 years agoSo what's up with Merly Bear? And what kinda world does she live in? Hold on to your hats, boys and girls, its a doozy!
First off, Merly's version of anthropomorphic animals are descended from humans, not animals! Shocking, right? Well, it all started in prehistory, or at least, at the very beginning. Two viruses began running rampant. One, horribly deadly, no cure, guaranteed death. The other was in many ways lycanthropy. This virus passed through animals, and then spread to humans, causing humans to take on the traits of certain animals. Predators, having a higher habit of attacking humans, spread their viruses the most, leading to animals like bears, canines, and felines to be the most populous species around. The virus was ineffective with insect dna, or that of invertebrates, so the vast majority are mammals, then land based reptiles and birds, then finally a few sea based reptiles. Unlike werewolves, there was only one change, and no changing back. The upside to the whole thing is, all those infected with the animal virus were immune to the deadly one, so they went out of their way to become these hybrid creatures.
As a result, since the people here are in a sense, technically human, they can all have children together, but the child will only share a species with one of their parents. A cat and a dog could produce a kitten or a puppy, but not a kitten puppy hybrid, though, the puppy might have tabby markings or the kitten might have a propensity for wagging their tail.
People in Merly's universe are a lot more animalistic than usual, and will drop to all fours and such when they feel like it. They are also immensely large, strong and tough, being technically lycanthropes. This is only notable when Merly interacts with cubs outside her own storyline, and is why she's able to carry and lift them with ease.
Regular animals still exist and are treated no differently than animals in our world, though a lot of people will have some sort of soft spot for the animals they emulate. A lot of cows, pigs and chickens are vegans because of this, though not all of them are. Everyone can still eat whatever a human can, though with mixed results. For instance, tiger teeth were not meant for carrots.
Merly is five years old and lives with Jack St. Patrick, a Wildcat and Private eye. Her mother died shortly after she was born, and her father disappeared about a year ago. Jack is working on the case in the background, as the police have given up the search, but he suspects there's something bigger buried beneath the mystery. He shares an apartment with another wildcat, his niece Mason, who shares the rent. She helps him in his cases, is a science. whiz, and is currently going to college with a major in Biology.
More to come in future installments!

General | Posted 9 years agoI am taking requests to fill up my barren gallery! Ten slots available, in color, with backgrounds! No catch, no gimmick. Except I don't do messy art. That means both NSFW and... other... less than spotless things. But otherwise, feel free to bother me for some free artwork! Spots are limited, one request per person!

All you lovely folks need to do is comment on this here journal. First come, first served!
Warm Regards
-Merle
EDIT: Alright, ladies and gentlemen, some clarification. I'll draw cubs, baby animals are cute. But I will not draw AB/DL stuff at this time. I'm not saying I disapprove of the lifestyle, if it makes you happy, more power to you, but I'm very self conscious of people finding my art and a little new here, so that's kind of a dramatic leap for me. My apologies for the inconvenience.
In fact, I'm a little nervous about drawing anything incriminating, any blatant "Specialty" art. I don't live alone, and I really don't want to have a long, awkward conversation with one of my roommates. This could change in the future, but for now, I'd like to keep things simple.
EDIT NUMERO DOS
Sorry for the long delays, the semester's been wrapping up and I've been busy, busy, busy! But starting tomorrow, I'll be catching up with this list, since I'll finally have time! Just in time for the Holidays too, I suppose! Thank you for your patience guys!
