Special: Gender-changed. Female to other furries, still male to humans due to RDF. After October 2007, strangers now see her as her physical gender with the human ghost image changed to match. Friends, family, and others who've known him still see the same old Brandon.
Profession: MD at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, general surgery.
Place of Residence: Renton, WA.
Species: American Marten
Year Changed: 2008.
Special: Ask before using. Can see through the RDF/Veil if he looks at things the right way. It's very weak for him, regardless. In his late teens/early 20s he was a stoner, mostly hallucinogens like LSD and mescaline. Well-known furry artist, mostly drawn from life.
Note: 16-year old daughter in 2006, changed into fox when she was 13. Widower, wife died in an auto accident when daughter was 4. Not interested in remarrying, so it's a family of two.
Notes: Transgendered fur, but she does not use her initials. She thinks that letting others know of her past is pretty pointless. And she's happy with being a woman anyway.
Notes: Richard actually started out Rachel, but changed sex in 2001. Nobody beside friends and family believed it, either. Changed out of phase. One of the first.
Special: Transsexual who got gender-changed just as she was starting HRT. Overjoyed at the new changes to the RDF in 2007. Changing careers and place of residence to take full advantage. Married her boyfriend soon after Tall Tales Con, moved to where everyone would see her as a woman, then promptly got pregnant. Now everyone, human and not, see her as a she.
Profession: USAF, Ret. Flew B-52s during the Cold War.
Place of Residence: Duluth, MN
Species: Whitetail buck
Year Changed: 2005
Special: Has a right ear with a few notches in it from a hunting accident. This character is loosely based on a buck named Peter in The Gift of the Deer by Helen Hoover.
Profession: Assistant Commissioner in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police
Place of Residence: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Species: Horse (Chestnut)
Year Changed: 2004
Special Notes: As of 2007, fur with the highest known position in the Canadian government. Travels extensively across Canada. Has wide contacts with other government furs worldwide.
Special notes: Hates the initials, stayed stable though 2006. Pregnancy with twins born in 2007. Avatar changes, goes by Tea' full time by February 2007.
Special notes: Absolutely always cheerful, bouncy. Loves to swim, looking for his soul mate in an aquatic species, but for now willing to feel up anyone female.
Special Notes: Cale was never fond of the initials, though her screen names on forums and messangers include "CV" somewhere. Penpal of Christopher Mattiaz/CM. Has a crush on Gabriel Locke, and is dishonest about the nature of her change for this reason. Cale doesn't really miss being male as she changed at a rather young age, before Gender Differences are too obvious in a person. Most people believe her to be crazy because she's not the best at keeping secrets and is legally diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. She likes going by Iris simply because Cale sounds plain to her ears.

Hugh Mann Phileas
Profession:High School Student
Place Of Residence: Silver City, NC
Species: Snow Leopard (Male)
Year Of Change: 2003
Special Notes: Hugh used to live in Blackburg Virginia, but due to the interest taken in him by a foul smelling man, his pleasent wife, and various other weirdos, his still-human parents decided it would be best to move and not start any trouble with what looked like some kind of cult. Hugh is very childish and takes a class with Iris meant to help him overcome his autism, he tends to start trouble due to being careless with his predator body, but he has a good heart and means well. Hugh was originally concieved as a Prototype Iris, but was kept as a seperate character. Hugh's name is an obvious pun, as his full name is pronounced "Human Felis".

Gabriel Zedimouse Locke
Profession:High School Student
Place Of Residence: Silver City, NC
Species: Rat (Male)
Year Of Change: 2006
Special Notes: Is the best friend of Cale/Iris, Gabriel is not yet sure if being a rat is a good thing or a bad thing, he has a phobia of mirrors which has been excited by an unfamiliar reflection. Though he'll never admit it, his instincts have caused him to be afraid of his friends Cale and Hugh. The other emotion he'll never admit is that he does find the tigress crushing on him incredibly attractive, but has known her as a guy for far too long to act on her feelings. Gabriel is embarrased at his middlename containing the word mouse and has an interest in the supernatural.

Krissy (No Last Name)
Profession: Student
Species: ????
Year Of Change: It varies
Special Notes: She claims to be a beautiful vixen that cannot be seen by "normal people", which has helped start of rumor of a race of people who are really animals. It's hard to gauge her honesty because of the invisibility claim.
When Daniel changed, Chris and Jessica were able to see him as a changed child, but they were unable to see other changed until their Changed friend, Sheila introduced herself as one. Even after that, they still mostly see the ghosts of other Changed they know.

Minor characters and organizations of interest

Changed in 2004 or 2005 (he won't confirm)
Species: Zebra
Place of Residence: Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada; Kingston Penitentiary, Drummondville Penitentiary (after the December '07 Riots)
May be one of the first post-Change people to be arrested and convicted. (He was captured and imprisoned in early 2007 for kidnapping Changed hoofed-women to 'form his own herd')
Actually very intelligent, but he plays the 'dumb muscle' to make people underestimate him.
She has a twin sister living in Toronto who changed in 2007. After her sister changed, she found she could see through the Veil, something she often used to surprise Furs.
Terri Hallet (married name)
Profession: Vet
Place of Residence: Alberta (she lived in Toronto up until Jan, 2008)
This section is for characters who appear in multiple works, are in government and thus may show up in other stories (though only as a cameo). There will be repetition between this section and the author-specific ones.
Canada
Winthrop Fitzgerald
Profession: Assistant Commissioner in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police
Place of Residence: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Species: Horse (Chestnut)
Year Changed: 2004
Special Notes: As of 2007, fur with the highest known position in the Canadian government. Travels extensively across Canada. Has wide contacts with other government furs worldwide.
Place of Residence: Ottawa, Ontario (formerly Regina, Saskatchewan)
Species: Moose (Male)
Year Changed: 2006
Notes:
He is currently the officer 'in charge' of Changed within Canada's prison system, and tends to go in person to handle events involving Changed within CSC's domain, though his actual rank/position is more junior.
His moose form is tall, nearly 7ft, but his original human form was short, just over 5ft.
He works closely with Winthrop to help handle various Changed issues.
An organization, based in Toronto, that is meant to investigate possible biological, chemical and nanotechnological incidents anywhere in North America, and to coordinate the response to the incidents with local labs and governments. Works closely with the CDC and labs across North America.
In September, 2008, they were fully briefed about the Change, before then, only a very select few knew about it.
Head Scientist: David Windstrom. Unchanged.
Scientist: William Talent (Beaver morph, changed 2005). He's usually the first to look into any Change related problems, at first working in secrecy, and after disclosure, working on the tasks officially for the lab. Specializes on diseases that spread from animals to humans/changed.
Coordinator: Ryan Knight (Unchanged): Coordinates NorBAC's efforts with the CDC's work to smooth out bureaucratic red tape issues, and to redirect Changed issues to the appropriate people. Known since 2004 when his wife changed. Lives in Atlanta.
Notes: Details to be determined. However, it's safe to assume that the policies are broadly similar to our own world, but more competently executed. I will try and avoid too much controversy here, but I think a female Republican President is one of the Major Differences due to the butterfly effect caused by the Change.
