Hello! Welcome to the primary fursona and fursuiting account for Barkley Beaver/ Pochanos Rex (VRChat)!

 Barkley Photography <-- My old account. Now showcasing my furry photography!

I'm a single (and AVAILABLE! Single ladies over 25, HMU.), heterosexual male, 37 years old. I love funny animals, western-style toons, muscular characters (both male & female) & a big fan of Sonic the Hedgehog. I'm a fursuiter, and amateur photographer, living in the Grand Rapids Michigan area. I first became aware of the fandom in 2006, and I became socially active in the fandom in July 2013.

My characters:
Barkley Beaver -- My fursuit character and main fursona. He's a large, super powerful, muscular beaver. By day, he's a world class weightlifter and a tradesman. Saturday nights, he's a non-stop raver, stomping around the dance floor from dusk till dawn.

Pochanos Porcupine (pronounced po-CON-os)-- Barkley's best friend, gym, and raver buddy. He's a professional massage therapist, loves parkour, and is a total fitness and health geek.

Rutan Rat -- Comic book geek turned vigilante. He's chunky, but strong and has high endurance. He goes by "Rescue Rat" as his hero persona. He mostly fights small time crime (bank robbers, pickpocketers, car jackers, threats of violence, etc.) using hand-to-hand combat techniques he learned from online videos and prior knowledge from wrestling in his youth. He has an evil nemesis named Dr. Wiscarz, but the Dr. almost always foils his own plans because they never work as he intended.

Daena Saberpuss -- A massive, muscular "female," sabertoothed, cat-like beast with size shifting powers. She was created in a lab by a mad scientist as his ultimate weapon of destruction. She was psychologically abused by her creator for decades. She eventually killed him, and has been on the run from the feds ever since. She's very animalistic with a limited vocabulary and not well adjusted to the norms of society. She's somewhat temperamental and impulsive, but has a big heart. She's extremely affectionate with those she trusts. She loves snuggles, belly rubs, and especially sexual intercourse. She was designed to be constantly "in heat" to keep her emotionally "on edge," but she's completely infertile. She's very submissive and loyal to Barkley Beaver as he keeps her heat "in-check" to help her remain calm.

Teeter Totter -- An egotistical totter (Siberian tiger & giant otter hybrid) who thinks he's the hottest male around claiming to "have all the right traits". His form is mainly otter in appearance, but he's slightly larger than a typical giant otter due to his tiger genetics, he has the fur, colors, pattern, natural build, strength, and stamina of a tiger (proportionate to his size). He works as a professional alligator wrangler and pest control contractor.

Pochanos Rex(ouium) -- The other-worldly form of Pochanos Porcupine from an alternate dimension. He's very tall, and extremely muscular for his species. VRChat avatar. Credit for the creation of the rexouium species goes to
