It says #4 because I went through that many variations. Ao was originally a lot different (especially in the face) but I decided to make him more fursuit-friendly, thus simplifying the design.

Anyway, Ao is a 30 year old Maned Wolf. He is an explorer and aims to write an encyclopedia about anthropomorphism.

Edit: Dec 2019. He used to have a long black line on his face. I've changed it to just that rounded bit. You can see the black line in old artwork of him.
