So MustLoveFrog's (patreon here) commonly does these cute bio cards for the characters of her furryverse, and I've always found them so flippin' cool. I asked permission to try out something similar, so here ya go, the first of hopefully many. Let's get reacquainted with Dom~

Charmingly charismatic or insufferably smarmy? You be the judge! Dom hails from a long line of proud big cats, and they certainly have big n' proud expectations for him to meet. Dom originally spent a few bored years crunching numbers as an accountant at his mother's firm (a position for which he was both under-qualified and grossly overpaid), before he decided he wanted greater for himself. He now seeks to automate dull jobs like his old one, not really because he cares about freeing people from the monotony, but at least partly because he wants to stick it to his old coworkers that called him "mommy's little cub" behind his back. Oh, and also because he wants to be rich and powerful and important, and there's no better way to do that than by designing flashy new software that eats jobs and poops profits.

And so, Dom goes back to college to learn computers. It's here that he crashes headlong into the fact that his computer skills, once the envy of an office full of computer-illiterate baby boomers, are actually pretty amateur. He quickly grows jealous of his academic peer Tadeo Tapas, a highly skilled student in the Master's computer programming field. He "befriends" his newfound rival to learn and steal all his tech skills, even going so far as to eventually ask Tadeo to be his roommate. This ends up biting Dom in the ass when he realizes he might actually want this little tapir as his first ever true friend, and his warring superiority complex and feelings of inadequacy implode his smug guy charade and turn him into a complete tsundere geek around Tadeo. Dom literally has no idea how to act around someone so authentic and unapologetically cringe. And as Dom has the emotional intelligence of a tuna salad sandwich, he only becomes more of a neurotic spaz-cat when his platonic feelings for Tadeo take a tilt toward the romantic. He swears he isn't obsessed with that little freak!

(He's definitely obsessed with that little freak)

yes yes yes I need more of these; I am drinking down your fuzzbutts lore and content like it's water in the desert

AHHHH that's so flattering! I'm smiling so big, thank you! <3

HE AND PERRY ARE COUSINS!!! I love how they're almost like funny little mirrors of each other's relationships (Perry's tiny pred antics to Tibbs' big stoic prey energy/Dom's Neurotic giant pred stress to Tad's fun-sized prey cringe fest) Does that mean that aunt and uncle we saw in the last update for P and T are his parents? 👀 Also, I love the trope of an insufferable ultra-chad getting blindsided by an uber-authetic weirdo. That makes me wonder, is Tadeo autistic? (I only ask bc I am and he hits some of the hallmarks)

I love this jerkadon like you don't even know

the names of the aunt and uncle shown in the last update are harold and meredith‚ not cesar and cynthia‚ so perry and dom probably have multiple sets of aunts and uncles! i wonder what their family tree looks like

For whatever reason Patreon only ever lets me reply to myself but yes Jay you're right 😂 I forgot their names had already been mentioned

Thanks! :D Yep, him and Perry are cousins. Good eye spotting they're mirrors of each other! They're opposites in many ways- consider that before he met Tibbs, Perry was content as a humble middle school science teacher, while Dom's academic pursuits are purely motivated by a hunger for money and status. The aunt and uncle characters aren't Dom's parents, sorry. In fact, I'm not entirely sure they're biologically related to Perry and Dom, they may just be close friends of the family that got introduced to baby Perry and Dom as "Your Uncle Harold and Auntie Meredith". Dom's parents (and also Perry's) are MUCH more intense than Harold and Merry. I didn't originally write Tadeo as autistic, but sure, he can be, if you'd like. :) Admittedly, I get kinda antsy myself about confidently labelling certain character types as neurodivergent because I worry it's bad representation and might upset people (after all, Tadeo is a lil weirdo). But I'm happy you enjoy him and relate to him!

Oh no, I absolutely understand, iirc you even spoke about that pretty openly before, and it makes sense in Tadeo's case. It's definitely more from a personal perspective that that question is informed, to be fair. Either way, I'm loving the parallels between Dom and Perry. I wonder what their own relationship is like, even!
