Extinctioners is a story that follows a group of characters who learn that they are 'hybrids' possessing special powers. Many non-fur fans compare this comic to X-men . While there are some of the characters that are similar to the comic and animated series from the 80's, Shawante does claim that making an X-Men knock-off wasn't his intention nor is it the purpose of the comic. Many Extinctioners fans prefer the more character-driven stories, in fact. The main heroes of Extinctioners consist of two major groups that at the beginning of the series came together to fight the first wave of an invasion fleet, then later went their seperate ways. THE EXTINCTIONERS :Phenix (Team CO-Leader): :Height: 6' 0" :Weight: 114 lbs. :Age: 120 years/122 cycles :Sex: Female :Race: Phoenocian :Species: :Date of Birth: 775.1.1 :Place of Birth: Mt. Turnity, the Garden :Class: Semi-Immortal :Powers: Solar blast, molecular manipulation, shape shifting, telekinesis, & dimensional warping. :Marital Status: Single :First Appearance: Ex. Vol.2 #1
:Upon being freed by Katherine Fela and Erica Starfox, she led a small band against the aliens and helped free their other captives. Now she's been adopted by her team as co-leader, which is a very new experience for her. She's never had responsibilities before, especially when her decisions can affect the lives of millions. :(As a past time, Phenix is a very successful fashion designer, which she does in the form of a female rabbit). She is the leader of the entire Extinctioner crew, a position that she has to quickly learn to live with. She has several powers, including but not limited to various fire-based powers, telekinesis, multimorphing (ability to change her species at will) and dimensional warping. Such a huge array of abilities may seem to give her a bit of a 'god-mode' complex, but in reality her powers are only half of what an average phoenix is capable of. :Katherine Fela, a.k.a. "Alley Cat": :Height: 5' 5" :Weight: 115 lbs. :Age: 18 years/16 cycles :Sex: Female :Race: Felin :Species: Domestik :Date of Birth: 989.10.07 :Place of Birth: Lost Angels City, Calevia, U.S.A. :Class: Hyrid :Powers: Intangibility :Marital Status: Single (but steady pre-mate) :First Appearance: Ex. Vol.1 #1
:Shawntae admits that Alleycat is probably the oldest member of the Extinctioners that he created. Her influences are obvious, but she's her own individual. Her personality has developed over time to be a strong female, who'd much rather live a normal life than play the role of hero. And her powers may seem rather ordinary, but as she learns how to use them, there will be some interesting developments and twists in just what she can really do, and it goes far beyond just being able to walk through walls. This is confirmed in a surprise move that occured in Issue 14. Catrina Fela, a.k.a. "Vague": :Height: 5' 6" :Weight: 127lbs. :Age: 19 years/17 cycles :Sex: Female :Race: Felin :Species: Domestik :Date of Birth: 988.3.12 :Place of Birth: Lost Angels City, Calevia, U.S.A. :Class: Hybrid :Powers: Invisibility :Marital Status: Single :First Appearance: Ex. Vol.2 #3
:Without warning the Fela household was attacked by soldiers, who were in search for Katherine because of her status as a hybrid. Brutally and without mercy the soldiers cut down Catrina's parents and baby sister, Cataline, in cold blood leaving her baby brother Tarens to fend for himself. Out of part desperation and part rage, Catrina attacked one of the soldiers, activating her hybrid powers of invisibility for the first time, and managed to successfully kill one of the guards before being subdued and captured. :Once in the hands of the aliens, Catrina, was given the choice of either becoming one of their slaves willingly or be killed. Out of fear she chose the former and became one of the alien's Hunters (one of the alien's top humanimal lead tracking/assault teams). She would be later freed by her little sister, Katherine, of their control and joined her and the others in their fight against the invaders of Alden, but she would forever wear the facial markings of a slave. :Shawntae says that he can't take full credit for the creation of Vague alone. Vague's original concept was designed by a high school friend of his, L. Evans, who along with Shawntae would create animal super heroes and pit them against each other with the winner taking the character. The concept of changing her look and giving her a name and history was more of Shawntae's doing. He liked Vague and wanted her to be the sister of Katherine. Evans agreed and let him take the character, which Shawntae has since evolved and developed far beyond her origins. Her current look and character are all his own doing (her's since, like many characters, she seems to write herself). Vague originally wasn't even supposed to have made the Extinctioners' roster, but a certain Wolf and L!, convinced Shawntae otherwise. As to what's happening to her personality, well, you'll just have to read and wait. :Maxwell Manx, a.k.a. "Copy Cat": :Height: 5' 10" :Weight: 147lbs. :Age: 19 years/17 cycles :Sex: Male :Race: Felin :Species: Domestik :Date of Birth: 988.11.02 :Place of Birth: Lost Angels City, Calevia, U.S.A. :Class: Hyrid :Powers: Self duplication (8 total) :Marital Status: Single (but steady pre-mate) :First Appearance: Ex. Vol.1 #1
:Not much has been reviled about Max's personal life yet, but whatever may have happened it must have been a difficult one. Max, while not always aware that he had powers, suspected there was something special about him when, as a kitten, he often played with what he though was his imaginary twin. :Max's powers allow him to create energy based duplicates of himself that, for all purposes are exact copies of himself, from physical appearance to personality. The only difference is that his Dupes can't create duplicates themselves. They also lack the ability to sustain themselves for long periods of time, once their energy runs out they disappear. Max can create a total of 8 copies (i.e. nine lives) and they lack the ability to reproduce (naturally). The original Max experiences what the others experience in a somewhat dream state (like seeing images in your head when you close your eyes). He can also mentally "take control" of his doubles, though usually they run on their own thinking instinctively. Using his powers causes Max to have to eat alot, since the clones run on his body's energy. He must maintain enough calories to properly maintain his power, but this also means he doesn't gain a great deal of weight since he burns it off so quickly. Max doesn't know what would happen if one of his doubles were killed and doesn't want to find out... :Scarlet Ann Starfox, a.k.a. "Starfox": :Height: 5' 8" :Weight: 124lbs. :Age: 19 years/17 cycles :Sex: Female :Race: Canin :Species: Vulpine :Date of Birth: 988.3.30 :Place of Birth: Veron Opus, Alopex S.S. :Class: Hybrid :Powers: Flight, Enhanced Strenght, Aura Shield :Marital Status: Involved :First Appearance: Ex. Vol.1 #1
:Scarlet really looked up to her big brother, wanting to be just like him when she grew up. When he joined the Solar Strike Force, like most of the young tods did when they became of age, no one was happier for him than she was. Scarlet always loved the idea of flying and seeing her big brother achieve the chance to fly a fighter ship was like a dream come true, which she could live through him. She know when she grew up she would be a pilot too and fly just like her big brother. :On her fourth birthday Travas arranged a special surprise for Scarlet. He was going to take her on a flight with him on his very own issued fighter. While giving her a tour of the hanger, where the fighters were stored, they were attacked by three felin thugs. In a struggle, Travas was fatally stabbed by one of the felins and was robbed for his paper credits. All of this while Scarlet, hiding behind one of the parked ships, watched in horror as her brother was murdered. Later it was learned that the three felins, who were only there as part of a supply shipment, managed to escape capture and thus was never brought to justice. This enraged the young Scarlet and planted a seed of hatred for felins in Scarlet's heart that would grow stronger as the years went by. :Years later she would join the Solar Strike Force herself to fulfill her brother's dream to become a pilot, but that too was shattered when alien forces attacked the space station Alopex and totally destroyed it and all vupline staff stationed there, including her parents. She managed to escape with Redford Firefox (her lover), her sister Foxy, Artica Lagopus, and Sylvester Greytail and made her way to Alden. Once there she became involved with a rescue mission to save Katherine Fela and later Phenix. She is now a standard member of the Extinctioners, though for how long depends on the plans of Red. :Because of the events in her life, Scarlet has become really insecure about relationships due to losing so many loved ones to tragic events. So to cope she's built a really hard outward persona, for fear of being hurt again. While Scarlet's trust for felins is very low, she does seem to have formed a truce and mutual respect of Katherine Fela. However, those feelings don't necessarily transfer to Catrina and Maxwell. :Walice Weazel, a.k.a. "Forcewave": :Height: 5' 8" :Weight: 178lbs. :Age: 21 years/19 cycles :Sex: Male :Race: Mustelin :Species: Erminean :Date of Birth: 985.07.14 :Place of Birth: Otuhwa, Canidia :Class: Hybrid :Power: Telekinesis :Maritial Status: Mated w/child :First Appearance: Extinctioners Vol.2 #3
:Walice would spend the next five years on his own, going from town to town and finding trouble where ever he went. Now unafraid to use his power to lash out at others Walice found himself getting into fights with anyone who would challenge him. Unlike most telekinetics, who would develop there power to lift objects with their minds, Walice uses his powers as a telekinetic pulse wave, which is fueled by his pure force of will. Walice's "force waves" can punch holes into mountain sides if angered enough. :It was during one of his many travels between towns when Walice first came into contact with the humans that were kidnapping hybrids. When approached, instead of fighting them when given the option of serving willingly or as slaves, he choose to go along with them since he didn't have anything better to do. Now as one of the human’s elite humanimal Hunters, Walice was given his choice of female as a gift for his loyal service, and thus met Cee Cee. Little did he know that it was the human's plan of breeding hybrids to develop more powerful breeds. At first their relationship was purely physical, to him at least, but when Cee Cee became pregnant Walice began to notice his true feelings of love towards her. The lost of their son, however, has greatly disturbed Walice, causing him to act even more aggressive than usual towards others especially Cee Cee. Why he has decided to stay with her and the rest of the Extinctioners has yet to be determined, but something from his past haunts him that he will do anything to keep from the others. :Shawntae says that Walice is an interesting character to write and draw. Originally, he had him die in the very first mini comic he did, not seeing him as all that interesting at all, but as time went on and his character developed there was something about him that made Shawn want him to stick around longer. His relationship with Cee Cee is rocky at best and could lead to some shocking developments. So love him or hate him with a passion, he's here to stay for now. :Jacob WhiteEye, a.k.a. "Micro": :Height: Avg. 4' 9" :Weight: Avg. 75lbs. :Age: Unknown :Sex: Male :Race: Rodentian :Species: Potoroidaen :Date of Birth: Unknown :Place of Birth: Earth :Class: Mutated Hybrid :Powers: Can increase or decrease size and mass. Full extent of powers undetermined. :Marital Status: Single :First Appearance: (Full Appearance Ex. vol.2 #3, In shadow Ex. vol.2 #1)
:Now Jacob is practically a living computer, capable of processing and calculating computer information in nanoseconds. This ability allows Jacob to practically do anything with a computer. It also lends to his strong urge of curiosity and creativity. He has become quite the inventor, creating new gadgets or re-creating old ones. :Due to Jacob's heightened intelligence he sees things in a rather matter of fact, black and white point of view. Often over analyzing things causes him to feel uncomfortable in normal environments and situations, thus he tends to be very shy around others. These feelings of shyness contradict his need for acceptance, which results in his doubting his abilities when forced to work and rely on others. Finally, being from Earth where humanimals are quite different, Jacob as a strong instinctive fear of felines. And while he's managed to subside those fears by living with Maxwell, Katherine, and Catrina he has not totally overcome them. :Pandora Lee, a.k.a. "Pandamonium": :Height: 5' 7" :Weight: 123 lbs. :Age: 20 years/18 cycles :Sex: Female :Race: Alluresen :Species: Giant Panda :Date of Birth: 988.7.12 :Place of Birth: Yukoutoki, Zui, Napaj :Class: Hybrid :Powers:Unknown :Marital Status: Single :First Appearance: Ex. Vol.2 #1
:It was during a cold rainy night, at the age of 17 (19 cycles), that Pandora's life would change forever. Without warning her home was attacked by Skull Hunters, who were convinced that her bio signature registered her as being a hybrid. She witnessed the brutal death of her parents, who were killed right in front of her and was taken back to a secret underground slave camp. Pandora would spend a whole year in the slave camp, undergoing numerous painful tests in the attempt to discover what her powers were (apparently with zero results). It was during this time she would meet Cee Cee Reese and they would soon become the closest of friends. During a black out in the camp Pandora and Cee Cee escaped their cells and would eventually team up with Red Firefox, Phenix, Starfox, and Alleycat in the attempt to free all of the other slaves. :Pandora could be considered the best friend that you'd always want on your side. She hates violence, but understands that sometimes peaceful means won't always solve a problem. She is an excellent hand to hand combatant and is versed in several armed weapon fighting styles. :Cee Cee Reese, a.k.a. "Mindswipe": :Height: 5' 6" :Weight: 125 lbs. :Age: 20 years/18 cycles :Sex: Female :Race: Mustelian :Species: Erminean :Date of Birth: 987.02.30 :Place of Birth: Winipex, Chiar :Class: Hyrid :Powers: Telepathy :Marital Status: Mated w/child (but not life-mated = to marriage) :First Appearance: Ex. Vol.2 #1
:It was in the slave camp where she met Walice Weazel, a male weasel, whom she would soon fall in love with and give birth to their son. But her son was taken from her in the night because he had taken ill, and she was told that he later died. Later Cee Cee would be used as a Mindswiper, a telepath that 'activated' the latent powers of others, a process that would cause her great emotional and physical pain. She would soon befriend Pandora Lee and together escape their prison cells. Eventually with Pandora and Walice, she would join Phenix in her crusade to free all of Alden from an oppressive alien influence. :Shawntae claims that of all of his characters, Mindswipe is by far the most entertaining to write. Her character runs deep with problems we all face in everyday life. She's got what outside observers would consider a very bad relationship, but she's blind to the fact because she just wants to feel loved. Ironically, with her powers she could pretty much do what ever it is she wants, but she's too timid to use them aggressively in such a manner. The fact that she's also an artist gives Shawn the chance to write a character that parallels himself in hobby choice. :Warfare: :Height: 7' 2" :Weight: 450lbs. :Age: Unknown :Sex: Male :Race: Sapien :Species: Primian :Date of Birth: Unknown :Place of Birth: Unknown :Class: Cybernetic Being :Powers: Energy based offensive & defensive weapons, enhanced strenght, instant tatical analysis :Marital Status: Single :First Appearance: Ex. Vol.2 #3
:Constructed from the DNA of the last surviving gorilla left on the planet Earth, his creators found the process had left Warfare horrible deformed due to weak extracts of DNA. This weak blend caused Warfare to be a below average intelligence, yet surprisingly strong and dangerous creature. :Fear of seeing the last elements of gorilla DNA and years of research go to waste, Warfare's masters developed a cybernetic technology that allowed them to blend flesh with machine. Dubbed psibernetics, his masters were able to create a mechanical brain that enhanced the intelligence of any creature using it by installing a higly sophisticated artificial intelligence within its host. It was hoped that if successful with Warfare, armies of easily controlled psibernetic humanimals could be created for the purpose of fighting wars and doing slave labor. That is, in theory. :Warfare's psiber allows him to instantaneously process combat and survival information and develop effective counter measures. This makes him extremely difficult to defeat with the same tactic twice. His cybernetic arm allows him to generate energy based weapons, which can be used for offensive and defensive purposes. It also enhances the overall strength of his body. Warfare's overall construction, however, was not completed (as evident by the visibility of his cybernetic arm and left eye). He was promised that by obedient service and loyalty that he would be completed, but those hopes were never brought to fruition. It's not completely known whether Warfare is more organic than cybernetic and his true motives have yet to be reviled. :Umnus Nightcreeper, a.k.a. "Shadowstalker": :Height: 5' 7" :Weight: 1454lbs. :Age: 20 years/18 cycles :Sex: Male :Race: Remalon :Species: Nightcreeper :Date of Birth: Unknown :Place of Birth: Kylguelin, Shivras, Eden :Class: Alien Mutate :Powers: Duo-Telewarping :Marital Status: Single :First Appearance: Ex. Vol.2 #3
:Umnus was rescued by Red Firefox and the other Extinctioners members and vowed to join them and help them defeat his attackers in the hope of regaining his personal pride and to reclaim the pride of his fallen people. :Remalons aren't any particular species of animal. In ways they are like reptiles with smooth scale like skin and egg laying abilities, but they are also warm blooded and feed their young milk. :Remalons aren't considered Hybrids, but are naturally born with their "powers" which is characteristic of each individual race. There are 5 individual races of Remalons, with whispers of there being a sixth. Each race is identified by its skin color and facial markings or "mask". Blue skinned Remalons are called Nightcreepers and possess the ability of teleportation (females are called Shadowdancers). Red skins are called Fireshifters and can morph their form. Yellow skins are called Sunrunners and can breath fire. Green skins are Grassgliders and can glide with skin membranes. White skins are Snowdreamers and can generate ice waves. And the mysterious Black skinned Remalons are only known as ChaosBringers, their abilities are unknown. :Umnus's inspiration was partially made by Nightcrawler , but he was more influenced, believe it or not, by Spider-Man and Lockheed the Dragon. He was originally going to be a dolphin, but mutated into, well, whatever he is now. Umnus can only telewarp one individual other than himself and can produce subsonic sounds, normally used as a mating call, but it also acts like echo location allowing him to "jump" anywhere without reappearing inside of something solid. He's also an excellent swimmer like all Remalons and is nocturnal by nature. THE SOLAR FOXES :Redford Firefox, a.k.a. "Firefox": :Height: 6' 2" :Weight: 202 lbs. :Age: 21 years/19 cycles :Sex: Male :Race: Canin :Species: Vulpine :Date of Birth: 988.10.11 :Place of Birth: Veron Opus, Alopex S.S. :Class: Hyrid :Powers: Pyrokinesis :Marital Status: Single :First Appearance: Ex. Vol.1 #1
:Artica Lagopus, a.k.a. "Artica": :Height: 5' 4" :Weight: 111 lbs. :Age: 19 years/17 cycles :Sex: Female :Race: Canin :Species: Vulpine :Date of Birth: 988.10.11 :Place of Birth: Veron Opus, Alopex S.S. :Class: Hyrid :Powers: Ice manifestation and manipulation :Marital Status: Single :First Appearance: Ex. Vol.1 #1
Artica is reported to be a bit less mature than most, but this mainly comes not only from the fact that she's the youngest of the crew, but she was also born and raised as an only child who practically got anything she wanted (which didn't quite settle well with her, as her parents were so busy with work that they rarely ever spent time with her, using gifts and such to replace their presence). Her powers consist of cryokinesis, and she can even create ice golems. During off-duty, she and Scarlet work as models for Phenix's fashion company. :"Erica Starfox, a.k.a. "Foxy": :Height: :Weight: 109 lbs. :Age: 17 years/15 cycles :Sex: Female :Race: Canin :Species: Vulpine :Date of Birth: 990.2.5 :Place of Birth: Veron Opus, Alopex S.S. :Class: Normal :Powers: None :Marital Status: Pre-Mate (soon to be Mated) :First Appearance: Ex. Vol.1 #1
:Slyvester Greytail, a.k.a. "Sly": :Height: 6' 0" :Weight: 198 lbs. :Age: 19 years/17 cycles :Sex: Male :Race: Canin :Species: Vulpine :Date of Birth: 988.??.?? :Place of Birth: Veron Opus, Alopex S.S. :Class: Normal :Powers: None :Marital Status: Pre-Mate (soon to be Mated) :First Appearance: Ex. Vol.1 #1
:Sly is trained in Vulpin Martial arts, which is a fighting form that has a lot of leg and leaping techniques, as well as standard military hand to hand training. Like Foxy, Sly is also a good marksman; not as good as Foxy, though he'd never let her know that, but does have a vaster knowledge of the use of various weapons. :He is currently engaged to Foxy.
:His supply ship was caught in the inital attack on the space station Alopex, and his life support systems were damaged. What happened to him beyond that point is still currently unknown. :NOTE: This character was created by Ron Duncan and is his official fursona. FAN CREATIONS The Extinctioners fandom grew rather quick, and fan response was quite varied. Not only did some fans create their own fancharacters inspired by the story, some even created fan teams. Two of the most well-known include Teflon Cougar 's Gathering Storm and the collaboration effort of Aelius and Heckfire , the G.S.I.F. (carrying an odd double-meaning, not only does it stand for "Global Secondary Intervention Force" but also "Gratuitous Self-Insertion Fanfic"). Shawntae was supportive of fan-creative efforts and at times even drew up a number of the characters himself. COMIC COVERS CAMEOS Did you know? in ''Extinctioners'' Annual #2. SEE ALSO
