Characters
My precious children, click on who ever strikes your fancy!
Lithium Smith
As my persona and also his own character, he's my oldest surviving OC.
Heritage and Family
Lithium is Kenyan-American, he was born in the states and such doesn't have a huge connection to his roots. He does however speak Swahili and Kikuyu, he visits the village his mother is from once every other year. Lithium grew up around his step-father and hasn't met his biological one. He and his stepbrother, Leith, used to be extremely close, but due to a couple revelations Lithium cut all contact with him. Lithium still talks to his parents, but he won't visit unless Leith is out of the house.
Relationships
Lithium is married to Ace and dating Anthony, he's been married to Ace for two years, but they've been dating since early high school. Lithium generally plays the role of a mama bear, he likes to coddle everyone around him.
He has a Havana brown named Duchess, she was a rescue and an apology gift from Arthur. Before getting Dutchess from Arthur, Lithium had been no-contact with him too, as he used to be Leith's boyfriend, but they started talking again after Arthur broke up with him.
Misc.
Lithium has lepidopterophobia, which is a fear of butterflies, it is completely irrational and there was no catalyst for it.
Lithium loves gardening in his spare time, but he's not the best at it.
Lithium is asexual, but he's not sex repulsed and will partake if it's a special occasion for his partners, even then he might want something else out of it, usually ice cream.
Lithium's dead name is Harley and his stepfather chose the name Lithium for him, Lithium also took his stepfather's surname the same time he changed his first one.
Lithium is Kondoo's human counterpart.
Anthony France
Anthony is my obligatory childlike character! Even though he's not my persona, he's a lot more personal to me, he tends to be a comfort character.
Heritage and Family
Anthony was born in Maine, but moved to Washington when he was young. His parents and their parents were all born in the USA too, but it's safe to say they're of European descent. Anthony wasn't very close with his family after they kicked him out. He still talks to them on occasion, but he's still a bit sour over being ditched. He's not sure if his parents love him.
Relationships
Anthony is dating Ace and Lithium. Lithium is Anthony's caregiver, but Ace fills in when Lithium's at work. Anthony looks up to Lithium quite a bit, he has trouble understanding that Lithium isn't always right. Anthony really likes Ace, but he's not sure if Ace really wants him around or if he's just going along with it for Lithium.
Arthur was Anthony's first boyfriend, they were really more of close friends than lovers though, so they stopped dating and just hung out instead. After Anthony was kicked out he was forced to live with Arthur until he could get a job and a real place to stay. Thankfully, Arthur's Auntie was, and still is, the nicest person alive and let him stay in the basement for a couple months.
Misc.
Anthony likes cg/l because it makes him feel safe and in his eyes it makes up for his emotionally distant parents
He's incredibly uncomfortable with dd/lg, which is why he keeps his little stuff away from the internet.
Anthony has horrible athazagoraphobia and it makes him cling to people, Anthony's fear of being forgotten is why Arthur decided they should stay friends.
When Anthony is 24, he ends up in a bad car accident left large shards of glass in his eyes. One eye had to be removed and the other is partially blind.
Princey is Anthony's service dog and Anthony loves him more than anything.
Anthony is Cotton's human counterpart.
Ace Smith
Ace is my obligatory edgelord, although they don't act super edgy.
Family and Heritage
Ace was born and raised in Washington, their father is of Puyallup decent and their mother is Italian-American. Ace has a normal relationship with their parents, but they're closer to their grandmother on their mother's side. They hang out at their grandmother's house often, and they speak with her in broken Italian, she can speak English fluently, but she refuses to acknowledge Ace when they talk to her English. She only speaks to them in Italian and they have to speak it back, she'll stop talking to their siblings in English and then only address them in Italian. It was a very roundabout way to learn Italian.
Relationships
Ace is married to Lithium and dating Anthony. Ace met Lithium in their highschool's debate club, and they just kept talking afterwards, fast forward a couple years, and they're happily married. Ace adores Lithium, but they weren't sure about Anthony. When Lithium told Ace that he was poly, Ace was scared for a moment that they weren't good enough for Lithium, which was something they'd been worrying about for a while. Ace wasn't sure about it even after a very long explanation from Lithium, but gave in and said they could try it. Admittedly, once they started dating Anthony, they warmed up to the idea a bit, Ace really liked how nice Anthony was. Ace probably wouldn't have dated Anthony on their own, but they do like Anthony a lot, and they're happy they agreed to the arrangement.
Misc.
Ace's cat Baph is a rescue and total cuddle bug.
Ace has always hated Leith, even though Lithium never told him why he cut contact with him.
Ace is Syn's human counterpart.
Arthur Khumalo
Arthur's a weeb, end of story.
Family and Heritage
Arthur was born in South Africa and moved to America at 11, after his parents died. Arthur speaks Xhosa, Afrikaans, and broken English, but he learned how to speak English fluently when he moved to America. After his parents' death Arthur's auntie became his legal guardian, he didn't know her well at the time because she'd been living in America for most of his life. Since she was an American citizen she was able to get Arthur citizenship and take him to live in her little house in Washington. She taught him how to speak English fluently. Arthur is really close to his auntie and shares her love for cartoons, the difference being Arthur has a passion for anime while his auntie tends to watch American cartoons.
Relationships
Arthur used to be completely smitten with Leith and he ignored a lot of red flags because of it, their relationship was super on and off, but Arthur ended it permanently after he caught Leith. Lithium warned Arthur about Leith multiple times, but he didn't believe him until he saw it himself.
He kicked Leith out of their apartment after the break up and refused to give Leith his bird back, Arthur promplty renamed Leith's bird to Ramune and now he pampers the hell out of him.
Arthur and Anthony are still really close and the short period when Lithium refused to allow Arthur near him upset him a lot, though he now understands why Lithium would do that. Arthur and Ace have a similar taste in music, and they like to go to concerts together, they exclusively gift each other concert tickets.
Misc.
Arthur loves magical girl animes, but if you ask him what his favourite type of anime is he'll say eroguro.
Arthur is learning Japanese because he's a shameless weeb, and he goes to Japan when he can afford it.
Arthur loves his birds to death, and he lets them fly all around his apartment. His yellow budgie Meji uses mimicry although he's not very good at it and can only say a couple words.
Arthur is Mokabi's human counterpart.
Leith Smith
Do we have an antagonist yet? Well, here he is, certified shit human being™
(also TW for animal abuse mentions)
Family and Heritage
Leith was born and raised in Washington, his family has been in America for multiple generations, and they don't know where they immigrated from. After his stepbrother, Lithium, found out that he tortures and kills small animals for fun, he cut contact and urged the people around Leith to do the same. Nobody believed Lithium's claims, which Leith took as a win. Leith hates Lithium's guts and ever since Lithium tried to retaliate, he's been trying to turn their parents against him. Nothing has worked because Lithium has always been the golden child.
Relationships
Leith used to date Arthur, before Arthur broke up with him he liked to randomly break up with Arthur, it satisfied him to no end seeing Arthur's devotion to him and it pleased him to see that Arthur would always be willing to come back to him. After the two broke up, Leith wasn't too upset, until Arthur refused to give him his bird back. That bird had been his favourite toy, and he wasn't ready to lose it yet.
Leith liked Anthony when they hung out, he was very gullible, and he cried easily, hours of entertainment! Ace wasn't as fun, he was always cranky, and he clearly disliked Leith.
Misc.
Leith is garbage and nobody likes him.
Kondoo
Kondoo is my main fursona and my first fursona
He is a goat/wolf hybrid, which is where the awful pun of his species name comes from “Woolf.”
He's got a personality similar to his counter part, Lithium's, but he's more relaxed.
He's Syn, Mokabi, and Cotton's roommate and also Mokabi's business partner. Kondoo is a total neat freak and cleans the entire house every couple days, his roommates let him do it because it means less work.
Syn
Syn is a secondary sona
He is a hyena, although he tends to look more like a wolf when I draw him
He's childish and easily excited, but like Ace, he spends most of his day sunning himself in the greenhouse, he's nice but a really lazy roommate.
He lives with Kondoo, Cotton, and Mokabi. He's Cotton's best friend and cuddle buddy.
Cotton
Cotton is a secondary sona
They are a sheep/bunny hybrid, and they have to have Syn help shear their wool down, naturally they're covered in wool, but they prefer the poodle look.
Cotton is a lot calmer than Anthony, their human counterpart, and doesn't rely on other people as much either.
They live with Kondoo, Syn, and Mokabi. Syn and Cotton are very close, and they both hang out often, Cotton likes cooking and is generally the chef of the house.
Mokabi
Mokabi is a secondary sona.
He is a mix a multiple types of deer and doesn't have a set type.
He shares a love of piercings and other accessories with his human counterpart, Arthur, but unlike Arthur his roots are Kenyan rather than South African.
Mokabi is Cotton, Syn, and Kondoo's roommate. Mokabi runs his own a interior design company and works with Kondoo on it, Kondoo usually acts as the muscle when arranging furniture and of course a cleaner. Mokabi doesn't really talk to his other roommates much, but he enjoys their presence.
Ichimatsu Matsuno
Headcannons
Ichimatsu is generally apathetic to sexuality and gender, but he does prefer to date men
He has trouble with muscle weakness and can't stand for long periods of time because of it
Ichimatsu hates all pet names except cat related ones
He gets a bit self-conscious about his weight sometimes, but he does love his body type a lot
He's shit at naming his cats and more than a couple of them are named along the lines of 'Mittens'
If he can help it Ichimatsu only cries around Totty because he doesn't want to upset Jyushimatsu or show weakness to his older brothers
Jyushimatsu is his favourite brother, but he also loves Totty with all his heart
His younger brothers protect him more than he protects them
He appreciates Osomatsu's bluntness because it makes him feel less insecure about what Osomatsu could be thinking about him
Ichimatsu has an inkling that Choromatsu doesn't love him
Totty and Jyushimatsu help Ichimatsu put on weight because they know it makes him happy
He doesn't actually hate Karamatsu, but he doesn't like him and he avoids him
Ichimatsu is anxious about it, but he's very invested in his relationship with Apollo
