Yeah, I don't have a more creative title, so sue me. XD

Here we see Ooka before the, uh, "start of the story," so to speak, before he meets any of the other characters I plan on him interacting with. At this point he's living in an old concessions shop alongside a lake in a park analogous to that rather large park in the middle of New York.

At this point in his life, Ooka does little more than violently fend off other Chimera which threaten his territory, which in his mind is the bulk of the park. His effective and sometimes brutal defense of such a large area has birthed many urban legends about Ooka, which only fuels his ongoing solitude. As you may see in the background, the world at large is not in good shape at this point.
