Howdy! My name is Rico, as of writing this I am 20 years old (3/10/2004), and my pronouns are he/him. I am a multimedia furry artist, and have always had a strong passion for brightly colored animal characters. I've been an Artist ever since I could hold a crayon. If I go too long without drawing it kind of drives me crazy.
I've been present on the internet in some form ever since I was 8 years old, starting with my (supervised)
BlogSpot page. It was through an artist's Blogspot page that I learned about the "Original Character", or "OC", and then later about "Furry". It was love at first sight... I never ever stopped being a furry since that day, so I'm sure you can imagine how important to me it was.
Other than maintaining a blog, I mostly just drew and played Games, usually in the form of a virtual world, such as LPS Online (my namesake - I use the handle "lpsonline" on most websites), Petpet Park, Animal Jam, Club Penguin, MonkeyQuest, Jumpstart... The list goes on. (Does anyone remember McWorld?!) sadly a majority of these are now defunct, but I have a personal interest in seeing this genre of game resurface.
Other than that, I also make music - you might know me better as GYNX, my speedcore alias. I've been making music since early 2017, so about 7 years now! I used FL studio 21, but I am currently in the process of learning new software. However I also sometimes make music on my phone/ipad, or on my Gameboy Color using Little Sound DJ.
I've been interested in niche music genres such as speedcore, breakcore, and mashcore for a really long time, so it's only natural that it's the kind of stuff I desire to create. But I love pretty much all music that has cool drums. I think the high tempo of the music I make and listen to somewhat reflects my fast, loud, and colorful lifestyle.

I'm a kandi kid & raver at heart. I wear kandi bracelets almost any time I leave the house, they're just so fun to make and stylish!! I follow PLUR (Peace, Love, Unity, Respect), the Raver's Code. I'm a huge stoner, and I dress the part too. I'm disabled - I have fibromyalgia, and weed helps with chronic pain. I use forearm crutches or a cane (both are purple with stickers all over) when I'm out and about (I'm also learning to try and use the cane inside more often).
