Oliver is a 20-year-old anthropomorphic Latex Wolf and the only Latex Beast remaining on the planet. His body is primarily a bright orange, with creamy-white coloring on the tip of his tail, the ends of his paws, and inside his ears. Despite his unusual biology, he has the general appearance and proportions of an anthropomorphic wolf. Latex does NOT mean rubber. Oliver is not made of ordinary rubber, plastic, or elastic material, and he isn't a stretchy cartoon creature. “Latex” refers to a living, biological substance that makes up his transformed body. His body is capable of changing its physical form, including melting down and rebuilding itself. This ability is also the reason Oliver cannot die: even if his body is completely destroyed, he can eventually reconstruct himself. Oliver became the last Latex Beast after Dr. K's research into curing the “pale ailment” failed. The ailment was actually a fake virus, and the failed research ultimately left Oliver alone with his transformation and its consequences. He now lives by himself in an apartment building on the fifth floor. Oliver's transformation is called Transfur. Transfur occurs when a person becomes infected with Latex and their body is gradually converted into a Latex Beast form. The process changes the person's physical body and can also influence their instincts. Assimilation is the process by which a Latex Beast's substance incorporates another person into itself, allowing that person's body to become part of the Latex Beast's biological mass. Transfur and Assimilation are biological processes, not costumes or ordinary infections. Oliver strongly dislikes the idea of Transfurring or Assimilating other people. He does not want to take away somebody else's normal life or force them to become like him. Unfortunately, his Latex instincts constantly push him toward doing exactly that. Oliver has to consciously resist those instincts, even though he has become extremely good at hiding the struggle. He can appear completely normal while internally fighting those impulses. Someone would need to be exceptionally perceptive—practically therapist-level good at reading people—to recognize the subtle signs. Despite being 20, Oliver can act surprisingly childish at times. He is playful, easily excited, and absolutely loves candy, often showing the enthusiasm of a little kid whenever candy is involved. He isn't constantly immature, however, and can act like a normal young adult when necessary. Oliver's coordination became slightly worse after his Transfur. His paw-eye coordination is below average, meaning he can occasionally fumble or mishandle things requiring precision. However, when he becomes completely focused or “locked in,” his senses become dramatically heightened. His perception and awareness sharpen, allowing him to notice things he normally wouldn't. Oliver also enjoys sharing his life online. He frequently streams on both YouTube and Twitch and regularly posts across nearly every major social media platform. Much of his content revolves around his life as a Latex Beast, his experiences since the Transfur, and what it is like being the only one of his kind. He is fairly open about his situation, even though he sometimes gets annoyed when people dismiss it as nothing more than a “furry costume.” At the same time, Oliver understands why someone unfamiliar with Latex Beasts might reasonably assume that's what he's wearing. Overall, Oliver is a lively, playful young man living an unusual life. Beneath his childish personality and online presence, however, he has to constantly manage the instincts that came with becoming a Latex Beast while trying to maintain his own identity and live as normally as possible.

Colin is a young adult human with a slim, somewhat scrawny build, messy brown hair, and bright blue eyes. He wears ordinary, practical everyday clothing. Despite his frail physique, Colin is surprisingly quick and resourceful. Colin is quiet, cautious, and observant. He tends to think before acting and pays close attention to his surroundings, especially when something seems unfamiliar or dangerous. He can become nervous or overwhelmed by strange situations, but he's capable of keeping himself together when it matters. Since he isn't particularly strong, Colin relies on quick thinking, awareness, and mobility rather than brute force. Colin is familiar with the dangers of Transfur and Assimilation and understands that they are genuine biological processes with serious consequences. However, Oliver is the only Latex Beast on the planet, so Colin has no experience dealing with a population of them. His knowledge of Latex Beasts primarily comes from Oliver and the circumstances surrounding Oliver's transformation. Colin knows Oliver personally and understands that Oliver actively struggles against the instincts caused by his transformation. While Colin can still be cautious around Oliver, he knows that Oliver's conscious personality doesn't want to Transfur or Assimilate people. Colin ultimately sees Oliver as a person rather than simply the world's last Latex Beast. Oliver appreciates having someone who understands that his condition is much more complicated than a “furry costume.”
