The Night Hound - concept and desing inspiration.





We haven't come up with a definite design for the night hound as of yet, but we do have a general concept down. What I have in mind is a high tech thief that uses the most advanced technology to do his jobs. Cat suits that enhance quiet movement and even grant added agility. Gadgets for just about any situation that an advanced thief may run into. Grappling hooks, zip lines, stealth camo, emp disruption devices, gas bombs etc.


The Night Hound is an enigmatic character that is a constant thorn in the side of the Sylvan government. He\she is a thief that focuses their efforts on government installations that house some sort of delicate and often valuable information. The Night Hound has never been captured or identified. The species, sex, age, and true motives of the Night Hound are all a mystery to the local enforcement agencies.


The Night hound always leaves behind a personal and taunting message to Camus neatly folded into an Oragami dog.

The Night hound is at the top of the Sylvan kingdoms most wanted list right above Fort Foxx.
Many people speculate that Fort Foxx and The Night Hound my be the same person, but the kingdoms best detectives say their methods and motives are too different for that to be the case.

Hopefully we'll have a solid design down to show everyone soon!

ZOICA it could be out there somewhere.

We are currently working out the world of Zoica (the planet the Tail takes place upon). The name is derived from the word zoic which roughly means "pertaining to animals". I want the land masses to have a Pangaea feel, as if the planet was still fairly young. The present form of the planets continental make-up is do to a meteor impact ages ago. The impact was so grand it broke apart the planets land mass. Within the enormous crater lies the secret to life on Zoica. The planet it self is roughly the size of Saturn, but slightly smaller equator diameter 50,000 miles. Azure island is the size of Africa and the Sylvan kingdom borders span the size of the United States.

Calmandi Blueclaw

Calmandi is the first born of the Blueclaw siblings. He thinks of himself as a leader and strives to make his father proud in everything he does. His athletic ability and skill as a warrior has elevated him to a certain level of celebrity. He is the current champion of the Sylvan Cup games, and is highly recognized among all the citizens of the kingdom. Calmandi is secretly threatned by his little brother Crueger. He recognizes Crueger's natural ability and his fighting genius and often picks on him out of sheer jealousy. On the surface you would never be able to tell, but deep down Calmandi cares about his little brother.


All celebrity aside, Calmandi is still a blueclaw warrior none the less. His skill with his hands and weapons are revered among all of the kingdoms fighters. His father is grooming him to be the next millitary specialist of the Sylvan kingdom.

Calmandi is as driven by duty as his father is. But he is often caught up in his own pride and celebrity to truly focus on his fathers teachings.

Roxxie Blueclaw


Roxxie is said to be one of the most beautiful girls in all of the royal quarter. Her prowess as a warrior is no less. She is skilled particularly in defense techniques and can easily turn an enemies strength against them.


Roxxie is feminine yet she is just as tough as either one of her brothers. She has her father's wisdom and her mothers warm heart.



She loves her little brother more than anything, and is always pushing him to focus and take things seriously. Roxxie see's Crueger's potential and is always encouraging him. She likes to spar against her little brother Crueger because she notices his talent for adapting to all of her defense strategies in a fight.


Roxxie is sought after by many of the young nobels of the Sylvan kingdom. Some of them are genuinely intrersted in falling in love with her, while most are simply looking to move themselves up in the royalty ladder through marriage. So naturally its hard for her to tell who she can really trust.

Roxxie is right at that age where she is comming into being a woman. Like any girl, she wants to find love but has a hard time finding any man that can meet her standards....
