The Cyantian Chronicles is a slew of comics written by Tiffany Ross. The first comic, Satin and Silk, was first published online in fall 1997. The comics center around a civilization of fictional anthropomorphic animals, called Cyantians. It mainly focuses on the wolves, foxes, and cats (called mounties in the comic) that were created by an alien race that has disappeared. The stories also include genetically engineered skunks that were created by the foxes. Later, in Campus Safari and onward, there have been some humans in the story.

The comics are available online as well as a comic book that can be bought at the Shivae store. However, the store is currently down due to maintenance.

[edit] Secondary Characters

  • Marcus: A furry fanatic, was pleasantly surprised when Chatin and Cilke 'arrived' at a furry convention. He asked Cilke to marry him while throwing himself on her tail. He received a black eye for doing that. He is happy to be on Mars and fits in fine.
  • Jules: An Anime fan, she was more or less forced to go to the Mars Academy due to the fact that the AMIB was coming after her and Marcus. She was reluctant to believe it and wanted to return home. However, when she gets back to earth, she is captured by the AMIB and "persuaded" to be a spy on Mars.
  • Cilke: Chatin's "sister." She is the more physical of the two and tends to do things at the spur of the moment (She once sprayed a wolf who had insulted her smell). As with all Genoworks skunks, her smell is genetically altered so that it smells of peaches.
  • Sheana: Darius's girlfriend. A yellow wolf who has had a crush on Darius since puberty.
  • Twinky: Named after the treat with the same name, he is a were-skunk, a human that can change into a normal earth skunk or an anthropomorphic skunk. He is first seen in Campus Safari as a normal skunk that escaped a maze and was eating Twinkies. He is quickly released back "into the wild," but becomes a frequent visitor. Soon after, he writes a little note and waits on Jules and Marcus's front door. Chatin takes a liking to him and he becomes her "pet." He isn't revealed until after he protects Chatin from an assailant.
  • Darrik: In Akaelae, he is a black fox that was raised in Jamaica and somehow ended up on Cyantia. Like all black fox, he has the ability to manipulate matter, but his parents hid this knowledge from him. By Campus Safari, he is married and during this time, his wife gives birth.
  • Collin: Another Sirac, he is more reserved and doesn't use his abilities as much. He has the abilities to see people's dreams and walk through walls.
