My name is John Serdy, and I was born in Phoenixville, PA, USA on April 21, 1964. I grew up in a rural area on my grandfather's small farm outside of town.
Around 1979 I began playing Dungeons & Dragons with some friends of mine, and one of the characters I played was a small furry creature named Chandrashekar Zarathustra Pranhabinmahonran, an Illusionist sidekick/apprentice to my main character Radhruin. His species was a Gashta, or Golden Fuzzy, a species invented by science fiction writer H. Beam Piper.
When I got on the internet in 1990 I began role-playing Chandrashekar on FurryMUCK and Tapestries MUCK, and ran the character there until around 2003.
Many of the friends I had made on these MUCKs made me aware of the furry migration that had begun to Second Life. So on September 14, 2009, I created a character there named Telefunken Peliatropis. Within a month I came in possession of the collection of furry avatars created by wingless Emoto, and settled on the fox avatar. I have used it exclusively ever since.
Around this avatar I have constructed the persona of Telefunken, the rainbow rave fox architect.
