| Cold 'Coon started out as just a silly little raccoon character that was always bundled up in his winter gear all of the time and that was basically his only defining character trait. However, when I began to think about what I really wanted to do with all of these characters and really started to give them each their own individual defining back stories and the Animals grew into this bunch of animated heroes who all have unique skills, jobs, and talents that they combine for the betterment of their society, I knew that I had to have him be something more than just a silly chilly raccoon. So, I began brainstorming ways in which I could incorporate his defining character trait into a job that he could do and contribute to the team with. Since most of the members of the gang all have high profile jobs where they can perform and raise money for charities and whatnot, I decided that he could be a snowboarder. Yet, I also figured that it doesn't come easy for him like it does for the rest. He actually has to work at overcoming his fears to get on the board and do the tricks that make him a champion at it because his constant wearing of heavy clothing no matter what his location or the temperature might be has more to do with his personal anxieties than any real regulation of body temperature, as it's more of a security blanket than anything. But, he is so inquisitive and playful by nature as well, that despite his carefulness and reservations, he is still motivated to seek out such thrills in order to overcome it all. This all stems from the actual natures of real world raccoons who can be extremely curious about things and want to explore and get into things like your trash cans for food, but then also be easily skittish and scared away. |

| Conjura Moondark is the wife of the dark mage and thief, Conjuro Moondark. She is just as much a master mage and thief as he is, and that is why she was chosen to be his bride, so they could lead their clan. She isn't related to him in any other way other than marriage though, as the family or clan name of "Moondark" is more of an honorary title in this case, and all of the members of the group share the name, but it's more of a kind of guild title. There may be some members who are blood relatives, but Conjura and Conjuro never were despite having such similar and unusual personal names as well. There is no backstory behind their names though, as I just thought they sounded cool, being derived from the word "conjuration" to reflect that they are magic users, and using the "o" and "a" respectively for the male and female characters. |

| The only thing that I can say about how I came up with this guy is how cats both big and small silently creep up on their prey before they pounce which is very much a part of his bio above. I just decided to take the meaning of creepy much further and made him an absolute weirdo who no one except his partner likes to have near them, but they keep him and his buddy around due to pity since although they are a criminal gang, they aren't totally heartless. |

| Crystal the Snow-Woman

| Crystal is my version of Frosty's wife. The inspiration for her comes from a couple of sources. One is that I remember there being one of those Christmas specials that showed Frosty having a wife and kids, and I think that the wife's name was Crystal. The second is that growing up, one of our decorations for the house for Christmas was this set of paper characters that you could stick on windows and reuse every year. It included a Santa & Mrs. Claus, and a male & female snowman which I assumed was supposed to represent Frosty and his wife. The decorations however, never gave any names to the characters being represented. Like Frosty though, I've of course created my own unique representation of how I want the character of his wife to be. She is a young, sweet, sexy and spunky heroine who leads her people along with her husband, and is always ready to help him and the other Christmas heroes clean up the bad guys with her magical mop! |

| O.K., here it is, my influence map. I took a different approach where instead of putting in artists, writers or other creators I chose a selection of some intellectual properties that have influenced me the most, so I guess you could include the all the various creative individuals that made these happen. Also, I put some of them together rather than having two images b/c those just are kind of equal to me. Anyhow this is it, complete with my habit of using gradients and glow effects as design elements. |

| Disruptive Breach: Electric Cyborg of the Gremlin Organization

| I had a bit of a tough time coming up with the motivation for D.B. as to why he would be a part of Upper-Hand's Gremlin Organization, as I wanted each of them to kind of specialize in a different kind of terrorism, espionage or organized crime. Then I figured that since I envisioned that he was from Africa, that perhaps he could be a conservationist, and thus go into the extremes of eco-terrorism which in turn would play into a desire to go against industries such as P.R. Nova's high-tech company which could been seen as "ruining the environment" despite the irony that D.B. himself is a high-tech villain. |

| This poor unfortunately named guy comes from the rather insulting term that has often been hurled at many a dog just trying to get some attention or perhaps protect their home only to get shooed away or worse along with the insult. However, upon creating this character, I just ran with it, and he really is a complete imbecile. This poor pooch is very lovable in spite of his sheer stupidity though and only lives to serve. |

A while back I premiered my team of Canadian super-heroes, and one of their members is a gal by the code name of "Snow Bunny." Well, I've finally gotten around to making the bios for the rest of her family. Each of them belongs to a different group, and each one of the four sisters has a code name that is a playful tongue-in-cheek on various terms with the word "bunny."
"Dust Bunny" belongs to a group of all female heroines known as the "Anizonz," which in itself is another play on words combining the words "Amazons" with "Animals" and having that dated 90's extreme spelling that was so prevalent back then and even survives a bit to this day. Each of the women on the team have some kind of animal aspect to them and each are powered by a differently shaped black gem that gives them their own unique extra powers in addition to any that they might naturally have. |

| Element Girl is my character inspired by DC's Legion of Super-Heroes member Element Lad/Alchemist. Yeah, she's just a female character with his powers and the appropriate feminine name, lol. In order to make her more my own, though, I gave her a more alien look with the golden skin and tiger-like striping, although she is in no way of any kind of feline race or species. There are no hidden cat ears or a tail or anything like that on her, and she is not covered in fur either. She is just a humanoid alien whose race just happens to have that kind of unique skin coloration, and as explained in the bio above, they all have the same golden skin, but their stripes can vary in coloration from individual to individual the same as eye and hair color can in anyone. |

| Elfgirl Jane is the top female elf at Santa's Workshop, making her the distaff counterpart to Mac. She has more than a working professional relationship to him though, as she's also his girlfriend. And, like him, she too enjoys going on adventures with the other Christmas heroes and helping out in any way that she can. Her evil clone is appropriately known as, "Evilgirl Jane," and just like all the others who have such dark twins, Evilgirl is a constant thorn in Elfgirl's side, but the good Jane is a happy-go-lucky girl who doesn't let her evil doppelganger get her and her friends down. |

When he's not doing his duties at the North Pole, he enjoys going on adventures with the other Christmas heroes of the CSCU. He too has an evil counterpart in, "Evilman Mac," with whom he is constantly at odds with. |
