Lore: Hope Jefferson was born and grew up outside of the city of Chicago Illinois. She was a shy, quite yet cheerful little girl at her age. Hope never was interested in Barbies, dolls, or even girl toys in general she was more interested in the arts and crafts of animals. Every time she saw one her heart ballooned with glee as a ginormous tiger, wolf, or even bear came close to her at the zoo she even considered them as friends. Other kids thought her weird and odd so they would've never excepted her as friends, and would constantly nose in to her business when she was drawing or sketching, grab the book and yank it out of her hands and hide it from her. One day while in art class in middle school she had felt what would arguably be the strangest sensation she has ever had. While sketching a wolf she accidentally drew its arms so it looked like a human,, she grabbed the eraser to be fix it but stopped to look closer. Through this Hope saw and felt something she never felt about any of her drawings before. It felt natural, realistic even, and comforting, she enjoyed looking at something she felt was so cute. She continued drawing more and more human parts upon it and soon the creature in question was this werewolf type creature. Hope began to blush and smiled at the creation, she wanted to do more but the bell rung and she had to put that aside but she couldn't get the thought out of her head, it was addicting to draw such elegant art.

As the days passed Hope kept sketching and drawing non stop of these anthropomorphic creatures. She drew them to be even human like adding clothes, more physical human traits, changing their color from where it wasn't even possible for them to be on actual animals, making them less realistic and more cartoon style, to even have them talking characters. However such things did not go unnoticed, while sketching a animal version of her crush. A teenage boy snatched it out of her hands, and showing it to the classroom. Whats this he said aloud as Hope tried to snatch her art book out of her hands. But she was smaller compared to him and helpless he read aloud and showed off her art work. Looks like someones a (bad word, I would say it for the lore but, not chancing it) he yelled she tried to stop him but it was too late, everyone had seen everything. Shocked, disbelief, and disgusted they all shunned her, Hopes secret she kept for a while now known to everyone in the class room that would eventually be told to others, she finally grabbed the book out of the boys hand and ran out. As she did she heard whispers and mutters calling her words like, #########, $1ut. She speed to the bathroom sat their and cried for what felt like hours not even having the courage to exit the bathroom stall. Eventually she worked up the nerve to leave to only find that no one was there she quickly left the school and not saying a single word. When she went home that night she cried into her pillow and not even wanting to go out for dinner. When her father came he was hard pressed to find the matter, she eventually confessed and explained to him what had happened. Hope expected disgust but he showed that no matter what she was still his daughter, and that will never have him stop loving her. With new found hope, Hope than began to accept who she was even though she wouldn't be looked at the same again she was not scared anymore.

Eventually Hope understood that she was not alone for what she did and joined a little group of those like her, through that time she learned more than just sketching but arts and crafts, making full sized suits, however Hope never liked them but still was intrigued. She never felt so welcomed or so care free in her life, or have actual friends. When Hope finally high school she and her friend Jessica Burke, both applied and got accepted at the Chicago institute of arts and crafts. Together the girls created a business selling costumes, pieces of costumes, and even artwork. Together they made a fine business, during the school year the two were given an assignment to go and research a piece of important history that involved art. As Hope was researching she came across the abandoned circus called Louis's show of great wonders and curiosities, seeing as that was her only option other than the so called 'Candy man'. She decided to go to the place to find out what happened there. As she traveled, Hope eventually came across the place, able to sneak pass the blocked up area she entered the main tent. She was amazed at the colors and the styles she went inside a closed off area, however she received more than she bargained for she found corpes of disfigured men and women, dead carcsses of animals the size of a elephant. But she screamed at the sight to find a man still entact with his head cut off, suddenly a strange mist consumed her before she could react she fell through the floor and landed next to other people in a warm fireplace, she didn't know where she was all she knew she wasn't home anymore.

Conclusion: This one did take a while for I had to think of many ways to go about this and personally I loved creating it, now you probably figured out but Hope Jefferson, is a furry. Now before you leave, let me clarify, no she is not what you think, she doesn't do that crap(If you know what I'm talking about when you think of them :l) She is jsut a designer, now why did I choose for her to be a furry, well when the main focus of this chapter was the freaks of society I had to think for the survivor who fitted the bill and wasn't too awkward to the point of not playing the character(trust me I had some pretty darn awkward ones in mind). But I also wanted it to be friendly and likeable to other players who are who play this game to enjoy a character that they can relate to. It was also dedicated to a dear friend of mine who is not just a fan of the game but a furry. Now I'm not one I will never where a suit, I will never ever get into that crap, period, not going to discuss it! All that aside, we must remember just because what they like is weird to you doesn't mean we should treat them like that because we are all together when the world seems scary. Thanks for reading I might have a list of cosmetic ideas for the characters maybe but I need to hear your guys opinions please. Please have a look at this and if you do read please comment it really helps to get some feedback, thanks again and I will see you in the fog.
