I'm Tarin Coyote. My fursona is, as my surname implies, a coyote; a blue one in fact. I was born in Nassawadox, Virginia and currently live in Norfolk, Virgnia. I'm extremely interested in furry history, and enjoy using WikiFur so if there is any way I can be of help, don't hesitate to let me know!

Background (WIP)[edit]

I've been a member of the furry fandom since February 15, 2012; I use the date that I created my first "furry" account, which was back on the furry social media site FurNation, as my "official" start date. I learned about the furry community a few months prior, thanks entirely to an anti-furry friend from my hometown that took it upon himself to "warn" me about the supposedly awful furry community in mid-to-late 2011. Instead of just taking his word for it at face value, I decided to research the community for myself and ended up stumbling onto the YouTube account of Wolfee Darkfang. I can't remember which videos exactly I watched, and none of them still seem to be on the platform, but I left a comment on a video asking Wolfee if they could recommend me sites for my first dive into the community. They pointed me in the direction of FurNation and Second Life and not long afterwards I was on both platforms.

My involvement in the furry community remained entirely online until I started college at Old Dominion University in 2016. I remember being extremely disappointed by the lack of any groups for furry students at the university, after which I would begin to try and reach out to other furries on the campus and go on to help found ASODU in 2019. I began to attend the furmeets of the local 757-Furs community and eventually made my way to my first convention, which was Fur the 'More 2017 which at the time was held in Tysons Corner, Virginia. My interest in furry history began to develop in late 2017 after a few conversations with Bengaley Summercat on the subject as he owns a massive collection of zines, comics, and other various furry historical objects. A few months later, in May 2018, I began my dive into collecting furry comics and zines of my own and have not stopped since.

In late 2018 I finally made up my mind that my university had gone long enough without having any sort of organized furry group of its own. I had just attended ODUCon, which was a small "convention" held by the Anime Club at Old Dominion University's Student Center. I remember there being absolutely nothing there for furries at all. I went back to my dorm room that night and I began work on what would become ASODU's constitution after coordinating with a few furry friends on campus and by February 7, 2019 we were recognized by the university as an official student organization. I chose to run for Vice President of the organization, and was elected to the position in early 2019. We held fairly regular meetups on and around the campus until March 2020 when COVID-19 shut the world down.

Sometime in the first half of 2020, I was contacted by a furry named Baja, who was the head of a group that came to be known as the OωO UniFursity Network (pronounced as Omicron Omega Omicron). The goal of this organization was to link together various furry student groups from colleges all over the United States for the purpose of meetups, networking, etc. Later in 2020 I decided not to run for another term as an officer of ASODU, as I had made up my mind that college was not for me and left the university shortly afterwards. I'm genuinely not sure if ASODU ever resumed meetups on the ODU campus after it reopened, or if the group even still operates at all.

On December 26 2020, and again on January 30, 2021 I was asked by two local friends to appear on their YouTube podcast known as the Furry Talk Podcast to hang out and chat for a bit. We ended both episodes with a few rounds of Card Against Humanity and they were an absolute blast to help with. Makes me wish I got more into the podcasting side of the furry fandom.

Being stuck inside all of the time due to the pandemic made me desperately try to occupy myself with anything that I found remotely interesting. I ended up watching well over a hundred movies on Netflix and eventually got into VRChat after discovering a series of YouTube videos called "Shiba King" which featured the antics of the Shiba Squad, an early VRChat furry community, by Rectal Bisque. I saved up and built myself a gaming PC and eventually bought an Oculus Quest 2, and began to involve myself with the VRChat community. It helped to keep me sane during the COVID pandemic and the virtual furry convention, Furality, was an amazing way to get the convention experience when all the world's furry conventions were cancelled.
