This guy went through a design rehaul after some mentions that his original design was too complex. Now here is his official new ref, Sapharow 2.0!

Sapharow comes from a world that was destroyed by a nuclear explosion. It was an occurrence that wasn’t known about until it was near too late. The wealthy and upper class were ushered to shelters, leaving everything behind. Others were left to their own devices. The Chernobyl-like happening though occurred swiftly, and near everyone perished.

Sapharow was the lone survivor (of intelligent life) to his knowledge. The reason is unknown. Sapharow was in the blast zone and it scared him with green striped brandings, tipping pieces of his fur green, and shifting his eyes to red. He has the ability to make his stripes and eyes glow on demand.

After he woke up from the blast and got reoriented, he slowly came to realize that he was alone. For months on end he scoured the wasteland, now desert like with near constant radioactive cloud cover. Finding nothing but remnants of his old world, he became lost in his own mind and suffers from hallucinations.

As time passes, he has become less prone to his hallucinations and has seen some small signs of life popping through the sand and ash. He now enjoys scavenging throughout the wasteland and fishing.
