[edit] Pre-furry/Discovering the fandom
Zaishi discovered the furry fandom after joining Silentwulf's forum in late December, 2006 (and becoming an administrator in April 2008). However, it was not until late June, 2008, that he became a member of the fandom after attending ConFuzzled with Tori Belliachi, Silentwulf, and Ember Komodog.
Attending the convention from a mundane perspective, whilst compiling a media report for The Furtean Times, allowed Zaishi to see the fandom from a different view, and he realised that he belonged within it.
[edit] Fursona
After a conversation with NinjaWulf, Zaishi decided that he was best characterised as a lion, but also had traits of a wolf. Hence, his fursona became a lion-wolf hybrid, with mainly lion characteristics.
Having used the name "Zaishi" online for over a year on various forums and websites, he decided that his fursona would follow suit, and, taking his last name from Second Life, "Zaishi Mai" was created.
The first version of his fursona, seen right, was drawn by LRou as a favour.
[edit] Fandom Activities
[edit] SilentWulf.com
In April 2008, Zaishi became an administrator on the website SilentWulf.com, and has helped to maintain the forum since then, including during Silentwulf's trip to Europe.
Previously, he was a moderator for the forum during 2007, but this was revoked.
[edit] The Furtean Times
Zaishi wrote an article about ConFuzzled for The Furtean Times, published on the 1st of July, 2008. Zaishi also provided Tori Belliachi with a .com domain for the Futean Times website, as well as (rather poor, as it turned out) hosting for three months as a tribute to what he has done for the fandom. You can read his report here:[[1]].
[edit] Real life
Zaishi's real life persona is Ash Paluk. Ash was born on the 16th of April, 1992. His mother is English, and his father is Polish, hence his middle (Jan — pronounced Yan) and last name (Paluk — pronounced Pah-Loo-k). He spent most of his life growing up in Macclesfield, England.
He attended Hurdsfield Community Primary School between the ages of three and eleven, and moved to Tytherington High School and completed his GCSE's at the age of sixteen.
At the beginning of September 2008, Zaishi moved to Alton, Hampshire to attend Farnham College, majoring in Software Development.
