One of my somewhat ancient characters, from a story I worked on over eleven years ago. I've been wanting to unfreeze this project for a while now though, but never had enough motivation, or time, or both... However, this year's ArtFight theme, the "Stardust", just inspired me enough to finally do something about it, and here we are!

So, Wallis is my fictional character based on "Duck Dodgers", the sci-fi animated series related to the Looney Tunes franchise.

Events of the show itself take place in the 24½th century, and that inspired me to create my own story within this universe adding many additional lore, all the way back in 2012-2015. (Gosh, coming back to this project after so long now is such a love letter to my teenage self, who had ambitions but didn't have enough skill! Because now I'm determined to finally continue working on this with all the current experience I've got!)

But to keep this short for now, there is currently an inhabited planet called Epsilon Eridani b, where the descendants of some Earthlings and Martians live, because they fled an interplanetary war over 200 years ago. Among them there are many anthropomorphic African animals, such as lycaons, caracals, civets ect. (which also became completely extinct on Earth during the very first years of the war, btw).
It took them a while to settle on a completely uninhabited and dangerous new planet, but now they live pretty peacefully and lovely, having political foundations and laws very different from their homeland. However, things did not get better in the Solar System for too long, the war between neighboring planets became either frozen or active all over and over again and that was tiresome. Ultimately, both sides decided to seek support from those whose ancestors once lived here, but their descendants managed to create a completely peaceful life together somehow.
Wallis is an adoptive brother to Flare, since due to unfortunate events they both lost their parents and ended up in the same orphanage. They were later taken into care by the same people, so they grew up together like a typical brother and sister.
In their adulthood, they both went on a mission to the Solar System to help Earthlings and Martians get along again, based on the experience of their people from Epsilon. At first they worked in turns with both sides, but gradually they decided to split up. Flare began working mostly with the Martians, and Wallis worked mostly with the Earthlings, because over time they were able to find the most workable approaches.

Among the Galactic Protectorate folks, Wallis found common ground and soon became friends with professor I.Q.Hi the most, as lycaon has always had a passion for technology and now is very happy to discuss this topic with someone competent.

Some basic information about the character:
- male anthropomorphic lycaon (aka the African wild dog, but no one calls their species that way there, since they're not wild and there's no Africa);
- an adult, exact age unknown as it constantly changes throughout the story, but about a year older than Flare;
- orientation: asexual and aromantic - basically does not feel the need for love and finding a partner, although he is still a great and loyal friend and brother;
- personality type: ESTJ;
- often has his tongue hanging out a bit like your typical canine's, but although it may look goofy to some, it actually helps him think better about complex stuff by improving oxygen supply;
- quite friendly and open to new experiences and new acquaintances, but with age he began to learn to be more observant since the people he knew throughout his life were different and not all of them were good;
- very fond of gadgets and dreams of becoming one of the best inventors on Epsilon one day, sees their trip to the Solar System as an excellent opportunity to see new and distinct ideas related to technology.

Clothes shown in the picture:
- main space outfit for meetings with Earthlings, Martians and other alien creatures ocasionally;
- casual clothing, were often worn back home on Epsilon, but can be worn during free time from work even nowadays sometimes.

There is also a comparison of my four main characters with each other and the three canon ones > https://www.furaffinity.net/view/62009231/
