Prototype Chronicles

***Prototype Chronicles*** is a comic series created by CoolSuperBlitz and published by Prototype Studios since October 2018, at the start of CoolSuperBlitz's career on DeviantArt.

## Plot/Summary

The plot follows three teenage boys living on a large inhabited island county in the North Atlantic Ocean called "Crescent Moon Island", which has city districts, suburbs, rural areas, forest areas and large grass plateaus. The island is inhabited by both humans and anthropomorphic animals alike.

## Characters

* **CJ Murray;** the teenage protagonist of the series. He’s an avid nostalgia junkie, collecting used records from the 80s and buying video games, old consoles and computers, etc. Professionally he likes drawing, illustrating, cover design, video/music production and composing his own music. He has long hair covered by a baseball cap, and an orange jacket.
* **Eric Gallagher;** a shy, but mischievous teen who has almost the same interests as CJ. He appears with a Limahl-style mullet haircut and a green shirt with a red "87" digit written across the front of it. He also collects vintage electronics and computer equipment.
* **Christopher Vasquez;** a Hispanic boy who is one of CJ's best friends. He is an avid comic book fan and loves hanging out at Gadgets 'N' Thrifts.
* **Kyosaku Janome;** a geeky, intelligent, acrobatic and carefree female python with a happy-go-lucky personality. She is into bow and arrow shooting and guitar playing, has a hunting knife and sword in a holster and her solo singing career is also taking off in Crescent Moon Island. When she was originally introduced in December 2018, she was portrayed as a feral-looking python, but in December 2019, she started appearing in her anthropomorphic form, and since her last feral appearance in March 2020, her anthropomorphic form has become her default form. She also used to live in a tree cottage, but she has since moved into the cottage collective with CJ, Eric and Chris, but still owns it and rents it out often.
* **George "Georgie" Wolfe;** a wolf with bluish grey fur and the first character that was introduced to Prototype Chronicles. Previously the central figure of Prototype Chronicles, since *Prototype Chronicles* started introducing recurring anthropomorphic characters, he has become another recurring character in the series.
* **Kohai Ryukami;** a hybrid of a black dragon and red wolf. His unique appearance is due to his father being a dragon and his mother being a wolf. Since he’s a dragon, he can fly, thus making CJ’s transportation methods faster. He is a close friend of CJ. He is also one of the first LGBTQ+ based characters, being the boyfriend of wolf/python hybrid musician Moku, serving as his assisting producer and player.
* **Natalie Baagh;** an optimistic female Bengal tiger of Indian descent. She is also Georgie’s girlfriend, something her overly traditional mother strictly forbade initially but after a change of heart she did not raise another issue about it.
* **Frayo Lupuscorde;** a playful and Siberian husky that can teleport himself and someone else to a different place at any time. He is also Chris' best friend. He loves dog-sledding and loves the month of December. Adopted from parents he never got to know well due to their untimely deaths in the late 1990s, he does visit their grave to honor their memory.
* **Taiyo Mitsurin;** a female dragon-wolf hybrid (unrelated to Kohai's family) who is Frayo's girlfriend. She has yellow fur and yellow-red hair. She mostly enjoys time in rainforests and other natural places that she finds to be beautiful.
* **Ryu Colossus;** a giant blue dragon who is actually from somewhere in Japan, but immigrated to CMI as a child with his family. He is Kohai’s teacher from elementary and middle school. He has made great friends with CJ and most of his friends. Kohai remembers Ryu as a gentle and awesome mentor, as he was patient and understood Kohai. Ryu taught Kohai to fly smoother than he had ever done, despite Kohai already knew how to fly. Kohai's parents really liked Ryu and looked at them as not only a friend, but family as well. He has, however, rarely ever appeared in *Prototype Chronicles*, only appearing twice in 2019 and again in 2020.
* **Hinoiki** and **Flake Ryukami;** Kohai and Katai's wealthy parents. **Hinoiki** is a black dragon who works as a lawyer, while **Flake** is a red wolf who is a businesswoman
* **Kasai Hinnitum;** a somewhat mischievous, but easygoing maned wolf who owns a radio station in the southern part of Crescent Moon Island. Although normally mild-mannered, anything dangerous, reckless or unjustly can trigger his tense, short-tempered personality (although it rarely happens since the situation should be extremely tense for it to happen). Despite this, he never targets this against people he knows and respects.
* **Kauket-set-ra Amun;** a charming, carefree and curious Egyptian fox with yellow fur who works as a radio host at Kasai's workplace. He is mostly seen wearing a striped silk crown, gold rings and armbands, a necklace, a brown T-shirt with a purple ankh printed on the front, a stripy skirt with black shorts underneath, red sandals and has long, back-length dark brown hair as a result of over a decade of growth. He also has a big taste for music, and also enjoys CJ's own music. Kauket is said to have the ability to turn into a spider-taur, snake, scorpion, jackal and fox-taur and many other forms. In an illustration called *Mall Chat*, he appears off-screen with only his hand visible, talking to a shark girl that is confirmed to be his girlfriend, so it is likely that she is going to become another recurring character in *Prototype Chronicles*.
* **Moku Haiiro;** (simply known by his stage name **Moku**), a gray wolf/python hybrid who is a huge pop-star not just in Crescent Moon Island, but also in several continents across the world. Moku is also one of the first LGBTQ+ based character introduced to Prototype Chronicles, being the boyfriend of Kohai, who serves as the secondary producer of Moku's material. He also appears to have night-vision due to his eyes appearing fluorescent in several drawings depicting him. He is another very close friend of CJ, and provides a comfortable "tail mattress" for CJ and his friends whenever CJ becomes tired.
* **Zura Tsubasa;** an easygoing green dragon who is Kasai's girlfriend. She is a martial arts and computer/electronics expert. She is said to have a very good friendship with CJ due to sharing nearly the same interests, talks a lot with Eric and Chris and had served as Kyosaku's babysitter from her age of 5 to 14.
* **Katai Ryukami;** Kohai's intimidating, well-built, taller but kind older brother. He is the tallest character in the series, measuring 2.19 meters tall. He is very protective of his younger brother Kohai and prevented anyone from bullying him or his friends. His eye sclera is a very dark orange-yellow color with blue irises. Katai is also good friends with CJ, but he can tell that CJ is a bit nervous around him due to his tall masculine stature.
* **Sekkai Tsubasa;** Zura's older sister and Katai's girlfriend and the second tallest character, at 1.98 meters. She is almost similar in appearance to Zura, except she has more bright green (not lime) skin, black and blue hair instead of red and yellow. She is also a martial arts expert.

## Changes in production

* Kohai was originally intended to be a temporary dinosaur-wolf hybrid of Georgie, but it was scrapped. An image of Kohai's earlier design is available in the "Scraps" folder of CoolSuperBlitz's DeviantArt site.
* CJ, the series' main character, has been through lots of changes without CoolSuperBlitz announcing it. His most noticable changes were to his cap, his shoes having been turned into red Converses and his pants having a blue color. In January 2020, for the first time since the start of the series, CJ has switched to a fully orange jacket with dark grey pocket highlights and hood.
* Georgie was actually created in March 2018, but his debut was in October 2018.
* Before Natalie, Georgie was supposed to have a girlfriend who was also a wolf, but after she was scrapped, Natalie was created.
* Kyosaku has been subjected of a lot of changes. She was going to be called "Kurora" at one point, and at first she was intended to be male. Her final name would end up being "Kyosaku" . She's referred to as "Kyo" for simplicity. In December 2019, she was also changed to be able to switch to an anthropomorphic version of herself, which since has become her default appearance.
* Kasai took the longest to make. He was originally intended to be Georgie's twin brother and supposed to have pale-red fur. He was finally changed to a maned wolf. He was also changed to be the older step-brother of Georgie.
* The title for the series was going to be "Protoschool".
