A Web Original Shared Universe Furry setting, based on a Web Serial Novel, "Forest Tales", by Bernard Doove, (available here (NSFW), Mirror, Mirror 2. You might need to check all three as the site occasionally goes down for one reason or another.) that started as a Star Trek Fan Fic and became its own series. "Forest Tales" was the first series in the setting, but others have been written, by Doove and an army of Chakat fans. Some of these fans are better writers than others.Many of the stories are accompanied by artwork, which is done by a variety of artists of varying levels of artistic talent. Many of the cast bio pages are similarly accompanied by artwork, also frequently NSFW.The central characters of most of the stories are Chakats, a genetically-engineered hermaphroditic feline centaur race who were created at the height of mankind's genetic engineering ability and are thus, arguably, an entire race of Mary Sues.The protagonist of the "Forest Tales" stories is a Chakat named Forestwalker who works as a Forest Ranger in Australia in the 24th century.If you've become a fan of Doove's writing, see also: Goldfur's Stories About Ponies. | |

My Grandson, Myself | |
Chakona Space / int_157c6c4f | comment |
My Grandson, Myself: Contributing author Allen Fessler gives us the Tales of the Folly series. The Folly's captain, Neil Foster is somewhere north of 200 and due to his teleporters having been Touched by Vorlons, he gets occasional "fountain of youth" makeovers and is able to pull off this trope convincingly. Other characters assume that the older version of foster they knew / see pictures of and the one they now see are grandfather and grandson respectively. At least one non-human character is convinced it's the same man. | |

Cold Equation | |
Chakona Space / int_1ce428b5 | comment |
Cold Equation: During the first chapter of the "More Terrible Than Chains" story, a slave ship breaks down light years from anyplace habitable. One of the crew wants to protect their significant investment. The captain understands the limitations of the life pods.note The crew also lampshades how shoddy their ship is, because the budget cuts were the reason the ship wasn't reliable in the first place. If the designers spared just a little more budget, at least with redundant life-boats, there wouldn't be a cold equation. Fortunately, this enables the Federation to rescue the left-behind slaves without resistance. | |

Our Centaurs Are Different: Chakats have the upper torso of a female humanoid cat sprouting from what should be the neck of a massive pantherid cat with both male and female sexual organs. The other "tauric" races change the animal involved around as appropriate — skunks, foxes, horses, etc — but keep the same arrangement. Although most varieties are single sex versions. | |

Blazing Inferno Hellfire Sauce: The Folly's rabbit chef likes to add this kind of spice to meals when she thinks her captain or fellow crew-members aren't paying attention to her culinary efforts. She has learned to tighten up her aim after a group she wasn't targeting sampled the spiced up stew she left out for the captain, who had, as usual, skipped dinner. She put four drops of a rare, Caitian spice into a half-full pot of stew when a single drop would have been sufficient for a full pot. | |

Bondage Is Bad: Averted, male-on-female domination is taboo in Foxtaur culture but somehow it helps Garrek deal with the aftereffects of being flooded with mating pheromones. Also, BDSM-play is still legal in the Federation if you take the required safety classes. | |

Exotic Extended Marriage | |
Chakona Space / int_3012325a | comment |
Exotic Extended Marriage: Chakats are polyamorous, with a saying that "love doesn't divide, it multiplies". Denmating is the equivalent of bf/gf/hf, while permanent lifemating may occur after a full year of denmating. In addition, Foxtaurs and Caitians are polygynous due to skewed gender ratios (3-1 and 8-1 females to males respectively). The former two species are Terran, but uncommon enough on earth that mates of different species have to get used to their idea of monogamy as a foreign concept. | |

Shi and hir process also get featured in several other different stories in the 'verse.

Explosive Breeder | |
Chakona Space / int_32956961 | comment |
Explosive Breeder: The Faleshkarti suffer from this. When they reach maturity they become obsessed with sex, sex triggers a hormone that decreases their intelligence, and the only way to slow the hormone's progression is to get pregnant. Also, they're Hermaphrodites so every single one of them can give birth. When the Federation makes contact with them every inch of land on their homeworld is covered with arcologies and the oceans had been converted into massive algae farms. Federation geneticists eventually discover a way to prevent the neural degradation and lower their sex drives, which was rather fortunate as they were breeding more quickly than they could colonize new planets. | |

Dominant Species Genes: When chakats mate with older species of "taur"; such as Terran foxtaurs, wolftaurs, and non-hermaphroditic cattaurs, the cubs are always chakats with some of their other parents' coloration. But when chakats interbreed with either of the species derived from them, skunktaurs and stellar foxtaurs, offspring take after the mother, and given that they're all Hermaphrodites that could be either parent. | |

Aliens Are Bastards: The Rakshani started off this way, but upon formally meeting Captain Neal Foster, they were willing to sit down at the treaty table. There are also multiple different groups of pirates who just happen to be aliens. The two most prominent groups are Voxxan. | |

Hormone-Addled Teenager | |
Chakona Space / int_3b27cf16 | comment |
Hormone-Addled Teenager: It comes up in multiple stories, but notably Tales of the Folly, that the heat/rut cycle means that teenaged Chakats (and to a lesser extent older ones) become at least as hormonal as human teens, and it doesn't help matters that they are empaths and tend to unintentionally project their arousal and pleasure | |

Chakona Space / int_45a177f1 | comment |
Touched by Vorlons: We get several different examples: Boyce Kline is interfertile with any mammalian morph, taur, or alien species thanks again to at least one Deity. Same goes for his descendants, in ways that defy physical limitations. Shamara, a Herm Rakshani, winds up fertile with any biped feline species thanks to a different Deity. Possibly the same one responsible for hir being born a herm in the first place (hir parents lost a male and a female child in an accident, apparently some Deity thought it would be amusing to replace them both in one), possibly another one. Allen Fesler's character, Shadowcrest, is injured badly enough that an Emergency Transformation process is the only lifesaving measure likely to save hir. Hir natural empathic abilities go over 9000 thanks to some overenthusiastic Deities. The transporters aboard the Folly are able to perform a "Fountain of Youth" makeover thanks to yet a different Deity (or three). | |

Thrown Out the Airlock: Several different versions and instances. John R. Plunkett's "Star Dancer" series does this to one character. The same contributing author gives us "Star Dancer Reunions" in which the main focus character performs a variation of this to the entire crew of the star ship she is on. "Tales of the Foxtaur Clans: Briar Patch" has space pirates "disposing of" an entire clan of Starwalker foxtaurs this way. Big mistake, if you couldn't figure that out from the title already. | |

You're Drinking Breast Milk: Played with in some stories, subverted or played straight in others. Chakats, particularly pregnant Chakats, drink their own or other Chakats' breast milk. A hormone in it leads Chakats who drink it to lactate themselves. Played the straightest in a story in which the college roommate of a chakat wet nurse drinks the milk shi leaves in the fridge without inquiring after its source. | |

Chakona Space / int_757bbdb8 | comment |
Massive Numbered Siblings: Many Chakats fall into this but the Goldfur / Forestwalker household is heading into overdose with this one. Goldfur fathered 2 (Malena, Lupu), Garrek x Goldfur 2x, Garrek x Malena (Triplets!), Midnight x Forest (Twins), Forest x Midnight, Boyce x Midnight, Boyce x Forest, Kris x Katrina, Kris x Leanna, Leanna x Katrina. Since Goldendale is still living with Goldfur and Forest: Dale x Lupu. (Dale x Swiftwalk on the way.) For the math impaired: 16 various cubs with another on the way. Not related to Goldfur / Forestwalker but worth mentioning: The 2 different sets of cubs adopted by Neil Foster. Also, 5 of his many mates and companions are pregnant with 6 more cubs, all due at about the same time. He treats all of them as though he was in fact a biological parent. He plans to treat the 6 yet to come exactly the same. All of them are Playing with a Trope as only small groups share even a single parent, and some don't share any. | |

Villain Decay: Over time, members of the "Humans First" movement have become either incredibly stupid with their actions and plans or rely on convoluted plots. One wonders why they don't just place a few car bombs, like normal terrorists. They do occasionally commit acts of terrorism; cf. the stories Near Enough is Never Good Enough (roadside bomb used in backstory), Transformations (Airport-bomb in a Teleporter), and Retribution (in which how do we know they didn't literally use carbombs). | |

ISO Standard Human Spaceship: A wide variety of different ship types here. The Folly is a long pod-carrying interstellar freighter. An early configuration of this vessel looked sort of like a corn cob with some of the kernels missing, thus one of its early names. The Folly also carries several classes of shuttle for moving cargo pods as well as a personnel shuttle described as a refitted assault shuttle. The Folly also sails with a military detachment consisting of a pair of light carriers and a pair of escort destroyers for a while. The Phoenix is a former Star Corps exploration ship refitted as a cargo ship. Descriptions of Admiral Kline's flagship, the Pegasus, fail to give it any kind of descriptive class, but we can guess based on it being an admiral's flagship. Pirate-operated Q ships get plenty of mention. | |

Super-Soldier | |
Chakona Space / int_80b57bec | comment |
Super-Soldier: What the Foxtaurs were originally designed for, but the Gene Wars ended before they could be deployed so they made up a story about being designed as park rangers, and made sure that their kits never knew the truth. This is implied to be the reason why mating pheromones awaken some kind of permanent ruthless warrior instinct in males, among other side effects. Also what the Chakamils were designed to be, before their project was cancelled and most of the type were liquidated. Though at least one survived long enough to mate with a normal Chakat and produce an overly-aggressive cub (Darkstar, whose daughter and granddaughter inherited the same predispositions). Saurons were designed to look like normal humans but produced deadly plagues, after the Gene Wars most of them were dropped off on a planet appropriately named Mordor, which Starfleet was eventually forced to sterilize from orbit. | |

They do occasionally commit acts of terrorism; cf. the stories Near Enough is Never Good Enough (roadside bomb used in backstory), Transformations (Airport-bomb in a Teleporter), and Retribution (in which how do we know they didn't literally use carbombs). | |

But I Can't Be Pregnant!: Chakat Midnight gets this thanks to a mischievous Rakshani fertility deity. Rakshani fertility deities get around. There are several characters who find themselves in this position thanks to them. Thayla was old enough to be under the impression that she was menopausal. Turns out she wasn't. | |

Sinister Minister: Reverend Hughes; man of God by day, ruthless religious terrorist by night. He's a recurring antagonist, and a surprisingly competent agent, despite being completely duped into working for less-than-religious masterminds. Nun Too Holy: His second-in-command, Yuki, pretends to be a nun faithfully working under Hughes. She doesn't believe in the cause; she just wants to torture morphs with experimental technology. | |

Canon Discontinuity: During the early years when it was mostly just Doove writing in the universe, a great deal of things were said, or allowed, that Doove has said a number of times that, if he could go back and redo it, wouldn't be in the universe. It's probably a good idea not to put too much stock in what characters said and it may be best if you avoid talking about parts of the universe that are overly Star Trek-ish, or those guys who sound an awful lot like the Empire. | |

And they have casual sex with many more people. In addition Foxtaurs and Caitians practice polygyny due to shortages of males. Monogamous characters are kind of in the minority. | |

Dramatic Irony | |
Chakona Space / int_ab5eea65 | comment |
Dramatic Irony: Technically, all humans are the descendants of gene-mods, as humanity reached a bottleneck after World War III and the government felt the need to augment humanity to survive the post-apocalypse. All those Human First bigots are recombinants themselves. In one possible timeline, homo-sapiens on Earth went extinct because some bigot tried to assassinate a morph, hit a human, who was given an Emergency Transformation into a chakat, and the results of the case study led to a breakthrough in transformation technologynote canon ends here, which evolved over time into instant nanomachine gratification, eventually convincing the 'victorious' Humans First movement on Earth to splice themselves upnote with a 'big' push from a biohacker's transformation plague until every last human became a morph. "Wolves in the Snow" is about how the most infamous genocidal maniacs in human history inadvertently diversified the human race into multiple species, when their genetically-engineered wolftaur war-beasts went rogue, defected to Russia, and helped advocate genetic engineering decades before the first commercial morphs were born. | |

Aerith and Bob: Skunktaurs prefer to make use of Aerith type names for whatever reason. Due to their language being nigh impossible for most humans to use, many Caitians will take the Terranglo translation of the meaning of their name and use that. The trope comes into play most clearly when a Caitian with a fairly simple native name is in the same environment as one with a much more complex, and less pronounceable name, Especially if they have adopted the Terranglo version of their name. | |

Path of Inspiration: The Holy Christian Kingdom of North America is basically this; the whole kingdom is set up as a twisted mega-fundamentalist nation where all the Holier Than Thou human supremacists gather to debase and insult non-humans. In reality, it's a breeding ground for terrorist cells; the kingdom extorts its populace, blames the morphs, and recruits disgruntled young men as cannon fodder. But most of the upper leadership are anti-religious, and the cells are put to work testing unethical military technology and turning Earth into a terrorized police state. Most of the minions don't realize their victims include a very large portion of humanity. H1 itself is portrayed as a mad cult of human supremacists seeking to rid Earth of morphs and aliens. It is implied to be even worse in "All Our Times Have Come"; it's actually a massive criminal syndicate that spans multiple planets and persecutes minorities (including human minorities) mainly for power and profit. Frederike's story shows that the mastermind controlling H1 and the terrorist cells is not religious, and treats them as minions: | |

God in Human Form | |
Chakona Space / int_c5a7def5 | comment |
God in Feline Form: In two of Allen Fesler's 'Tales of the Folly' installments, we get Rakshani Deities appearing in the associated artwork. Instead of tiger stripes, they get wings, leopard style spots, and heads more like a lynx or bobcat. Though some of the design of an individual Deity may well depend on the imagination of the character viewing the Deity in question. | |

Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale | |
Chakona Space / int_d525f857 | comment |
Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale: One of the stories mentioned that the Gene Wars, which happened during the late 21st century, killed off over 20 billion. Keep in mind that as of 2010, the population of Planet Earth is estimated at only 6 billion. Keep in mind that figure isn't just humans, morphs were artificially produced and in many cases were designed to breed quickly. Same trope, different category: One of Allen Fesler's Tales of the Folly stories mentions cargo pods attached to the Folly as being 60 meter cubes. While the Folly's 2km overall length would certainly support these, the shuttles Capt. Foster uses to ferry them to the surface are either: a) truly monstrous in size, or b) carrying smaller pods, or c)the pods aren't as symmetrical as mentioned. (60m equals nearly 200 feet) The pods are later shown to contain several decks filled with smaller cargo carriers, which are in turn comparable to contemporary shipping containers so it's a). | |

Exact Words | |
Chakona Space / int_e9e35e8f | comment |
Exact Words: This trope pops up quite frequently in these stories. At one point Neal trips up his guests with the number of colonies he's supporting. Later, Neal Foster uses the Exact Words of some badly misbehaving cubs against them, using Tess' transporters to shower them with the nuts they had been throwing at his cubs only minutes earlier, using the phrases "It’s just a little harmless fun, and it’s not like anyone is getting hurt" against his cubs' tormentors. Inverted by Karl Whitepaw, who is being pursued by his vengeful, spiteful ex-wife. She has an arrest warrant drawn up that is so rigid that it cannot be applied to Karl due to his new surname. If you are not careful with wishes in the presence of Rakshani Deities, they will throw this trope at you with a mischievous laugh that you will never even hear. | |

Hold Up Your Score: During chapter 7 of Tales of the Folly, a few Chakats have some fun. When they finish, they are subjected to being rated by the rest of the crew and passengers of the Folly. Most give average scores, but one of the scorecards is marked "HOLY #%#^^$$!!". Later, in chapter 9, a pair who didn't realize they were quite so noisy get busy after work and affect all on board. Afterward, they are greeted by everyone holding the "HOLY #%#^^$$!!" card. Neal lampshades this when he comments: "We sometimes find the scale we’re using isn’t quite large enough for what we’re trying to measure." | |

Law of Inverse Fertility | |
Chakona Space / int_f4f3252e | comment |
Law of Inverse Fertility: Some supposedly compatible character pairs have a difficult time making babies, and several supposedly incompatible couples are surprised with cubs. (See But I Can't Be Pregnant!, above.) Best example: Forestwalker's foxmorph mates, Katrina Snowfox and Kris Fletcher. Though they are still different species (arctic and red, respectively). When Leanna (herm fennec morph, originally believed sterile thanks to a lying, bastard owner) joins their mating group shi quickly conceives kits with both Trina and Kris. Thanks to a mischievous Rakshani fertility deity, Admiral Kline gets a supposedly incompatible Caitan, Rakshani, and finally a Chakat pregnant before people catch on that there's something unusual about his sperm. In the "Next Generations" stories Kline's granddaughter Stargazer was conceived in a similar manner to three of hir oldest aunts and uncles. Hir mother was one of his Chakat daughters and shi discovered that his ability to breed with anything was hereditary after sleeping with a bipedal cougar. A Rakshani hermaphrodite gets this due to having a relationship with a (also herm) Terran anthro cat due to, again, fertility deities. But overall the majority of cubs and kits are conceived intentionally. | |

Superior Species | |
Chakona Space / int_f5b974c6 | comment |
Superior Species: Chakats and Stellar Foxtaurs were deliberately designed as this. One story deconstructed this, pointing out their superior immune systems were too good - they formed antibodies to lifesaving medications, requiring the development of immunosuppressive drugs. One of their major weaknesses of superiority is higher needs - they have a higher calorie requirement, go berserk if they feel their loved ones need more safety, and if they spend too long without physical comfort from other Chakats, they will go completely insane. On a ship filled with hundreds of non-Chakats. | |
