Furry History | The Avali

[@FarremShamist]

Very well researched, noticed you talked to her too! Heck yeah, hope this reaches more ears.

[@ScarTheFur]

I hope it does, too. I really pulled out all the stops to be as thorough as I could. Ryu really is off doing her own thing these days, but I really do appreciate when creators are willing to speak with historians and the like, it can offer a lot of unique firsthand information.

[@LavvyStarlight]

Your welcome for the Starbound footage and the Verified Avali group! >~< Glad to see all your research came out amazing. I wasn't expecting a double feature in this. >//

[@ScarTheFur]

If I was extra mean, I'd pin this comment for a triple feature >:) But realistically, that's reserved for Ryu if she pokes her head in. I appreciate the last minute help and for the gift. Thanks for all you doing in the Avali community with the VF group, enduring the stresses of keeping LoF's meetups going, and also just genuinely being one of the best friends I've ever met

[@TheWolfQueentm]

Omg can't believe Drake has gotten so popular with halo modding he's used as an example in this video

[@ScarTheFur]

I'm also just a huuuggge Halo fan lol

[@alertArchitect]

This is super helpful! I'm not a furry personally, but I am friends with quite a few and heard them talking about Avali after one of them posted an image showing one. As a ND person who is obsessed with birds, I _had_ to know more! This is the best resource I found that wasn't just the wiki outlines of their biology n stuff, which was a bit much for me right out the gate :]

[@ScarTheFur]

I really tried my best to create the most comprehensive resource out there. Happy to know it was of help!

[@strawberry641]

yoo great vid! as a major Spore fan, im very surprised to find out that the species originated from there! I knew about the "Whom Gods Destroy" adventure for ages but never actually knew it had the Avali! Keep up the great work man :D

[@ScarTheFur]

They visual overhaul for Starbound does separate them from first glance but you can definitely see the inspiration. What did you think about Whom Gods Destroy when/if you got the chance to play it back in the day?

[@Nictator42]

I originally started following Ryuujin with her myriad nwn mods, mostly the tabaxi addition to the game

[@RedMageGaming]

Avali Triage has become a mandatory Mod for me in Starbound. Every once in a whole I jump back in for some fluffy space raptor exploration.

[@chrisfratz]

VR Chat was what introduced me to the Avali. One of my friends was wearing a Tron themed reverse Avali avatar and I thought it looked pretty cool so I cloned off him. And then a few months later I decided to make my own avatar with the Da'vali base. When the Kita went free I upgraded my avatar to that base. And when the Jerry came out I switched to using that. So I have VR chat to blame for being a furry. lol

[@ScarTheFur]

Welcome to the furry fandom You can check out any time you like but you can never leave :)

[@silverplushie]

Welp, I now have a video to link to when people ask me about the history of the Avali species. Great work with your research!

[@ScarTheFur]

Thank you so much

[@shiningpoultry4745]

I heard of these funky guys from starbound and i love the amount of lore there is! Thank you for this i was wondering where they all came from

[@ScarTheFur]

You are welcome!

[@goldmmoking]

This was a great video! It was a ton of fun working with you on this!

[@ScarTheFur]

Thank you so much!!

[@swingly6061]

There was a Discord community called "Avali Homeworld" in 2020, which hosted Natval's (now goes by Natch) Natvali model and VRChat social events. Can't remember exactly what led to it but the server ended up merging with Lords of Floof.

Sad you missed the avali's presence in Space Station 13

[@monckat4681]

Aw man, I was a huge fan of Whom Gods Destroy and the Iubati in general back in the day, really cool to see how far the species has come since then! As an aside, back in the Spore days I vaguely recall the lore being that "Iubati" was the technical name of the species and "Elysii" and "Avali" were the names of competing factions within the species -with the characters of Whom Gods Destroy belonging to the Elysii while the Avali were mysterious and largely unseen. I might have seen this somewhere on the now-defunct Sporum, or I might just be misremembering after all these years. In any case I imagine the canon has since moved on from that idea.

[@brokenfurrytrash9652]

look into the cannon and fannon Avali lore. i would love that. (THIS IS MARS DRACO)

[@ScarTheFur]

Thanks Mars :) It won't be immediately up next but I'll definitely try to get it out soon

[@craftythehawk2897]

You beat me... hmpf XD

[@carpetbeetle8349]

I learned of the Avali via the Rimworld mod. Never knew they originated in Spore til now Or if I did, I completely forgot

[@edelzocker8169]

Im a big fan of Sci-Fi and Fantasy and I know the Avali since I first played Spore! I also use Ryu's Halfdragon mod in Neverwinter Nights...

[@AmtrakFlareon]

Thanks for shining some historic light on our community! The Avali flocks are what pulled me fully into the vr hobby and it has truly changed my life forever.

[@ScarTheFur]

You're absolutely welcome I can safely say my own little Avali pack has changed my life too

[@ViperNRM]

Yea my co founded species Quantian was heavily inspired by ryu’s avali lore and the kitavali though we (the other creator and myself) decided to make our group a parallel of the canon in which the canon exists in our species as a historical mechanic and the race are less advanced and even (mainly) lives in the planet Quantia in the solar system Ihodath our (again the other creator and myself) canonical creation for the species within the game no man’s sky. We do allow avali and other races to visit and you may even gain citizenship within the lore though we have a strict process. We also will enforce copyrights on our characters that we created so if you want to join in the project you may not create a quantian in any way without permission from us period

[@IorekByrnison086]

Great video. Learned alot of this species. Love the video, keep up the great job.

[@ScarTheFur]

Plenty more will be coming, don't worry :)

[@IorekByrnison086]

@@ScarTheFur Sure thing. Can't wait to see what's next.

[@ScarTheFur]

Kind of a glimpse into the future: I'm likely going to be running polls on Patreon (once I get things updated/reworked) based on ideas I have for each monthly history video. That'll be for the following month so the next video (April) is free game. If you have suggestions I'll happily hear them!

[@IorekByrnison086]

@@ScarTheFur Sure I'll see what I can come up with.

[@Slicetheidiot]

this is a awesome vid, i've always had a sort of idea for a universe where my fursona would fit in and this video made me feel the same way i felt when i first truly discovered the avali

[@ScarTheFur]

It's always a pleasure building character lore. I don't know how much of it will see the light of day, but there's enough lore about my own character(s) that me and a friend started writing a novel a while back and have managed to hit the 20,000 word mark- that and we're only like 5 chapters in.

[@TheLowrider008]

Thank you so much for making this video! I’ve been into the Avali species since 2017 when a friend showed me the mod in Starbound. Can safely say I established so many friendships with several Avali and non-Avali fellows during VRC and beyond After hearing the whole story, can’t say I blame Ryu for stepping back, but I still thank her for making a wonderful species And once again, thank you for making this informative video!

[@ScarTheFur]

Thank you for watching

I love being a birb in vrc. Nice vid

[@ScarTheFur]

Thanks :)

[@dinosore_rs]

Whe?! Being _this_ close to da topics mentioned in these styles of videos is a bit spooky >w< But also super exciting!

[@ScarTheFur]

I think it was about time the Avali community got some spotlight

[@BlenderVali]

Thank you for the rather comprehensive history on the species! ^^

[@ScarTheFur]

Thank you for watching

[@Questy-w2v]

Where Avali from Space station 13?

[@gecko_tyrantwof1095]

This is awesome! Not a furry but the lore is awesome, especially considering it originated from one of my all time favourite games

[@ScarTheFur]

Happy you enjoyed it!

[@416san]

Love it i made my own avali 😊 bc my friend has a Avali, and now i also made one for a other friend of mine i even uploaded it today on my channel but this info was amazing bc im a Indoraptor person now im both raptor and space raptor, i played spore sinds 2008 so yeah they where so much fun im glad they grow this far 🎉

[@neontoxicstorm6434]

I litterly just found about the avali species the one I will probably end up replacing my fox fursona today

[@carloguerrero6583]

Heck yeah! i'd share the f out of a part 2

[@ScarTheFur]

If I get around to it. Making videos has become difficult because of my health issues and talking lore wasn't my main forte but I might still give it a shot.

[@craftythehawk2897]

Hi Scar... I haven't gotten the time to watch this video, however, I have been able to watch it today. Thanks for making all these videos!

[@ScarTheFur]

Thank you for watching all of them!

[@craftythehawk2897]

@@ScarTheFur OF COURSE... Learned alot ^w^

[@thenightwatchman1598]

So let me get this straight: the Avali were a primitive tribal people until some higher race colonized their planet and educated them to their level, only to fall back into tribalism (but this time with guns and space travel!) once they gained independence? So basically the avali are space africans! (until we meet again! NEEEGHH!)
