I opted to start making more tanker crews for fun after realizing I effectively had 3 crews, and no one was driving a lot of the new branches of tanks. Nika is the Swedish specialist, but she also only primarily has 3 crew tanks as that's how the top tier Swedish vehicles are set up to operate as. Alek is now the Russian specialist commander, branching out to both the Polish block and Chinese block of tanks as they in large part within world of tanks are all of a similar style.

While Alek isn't my first bunny, Alek is officially my first character to branch into the idea of a non-binary style character. However unlike Christina who is a tomboy and just acts like a guy but still is fully accepting of the fact she is a girl, Alek acts and appears as a male for all intents and purposes those carry. Aleksandra is a female by birth, he naturally has a totally flat chest, as in absolutely flat. While Alek doesn't talk about the reasoning why they decided they wanted to be seen as a male, it is a well kept secret that only those who have seen his personnel file know about. All of his fellow crew that he joined up with from the Russian school tank academy all know to refer to Alek as one of the guys and keep his secret with them, especially his current boyfriend, Lev.

Thats enough vague background for now, and I gotta say I'm super happy with this character. I really wanted to do a cute character that could easily fit the "Femboy" trope, and Alek here totally nails that I think. It is really funny both of my bunnies are out to prove they're tough and strong despite being a typically small and cuddly species of animal. So a quick character 1.0 design of my new Russian tank command rabbit, with some fun headshots on the side. Alek's 1.0 is pretty much final, while I will stress his mate Lev's 1.0 will not be, so prepare for that when it gets posted on saturday.

Hope everyone likes some androgynous bunny!
