The Prince comes from Planet Chi, a barbaric world of humanoid chihuahuas obsessed with cuteness.He has come to Earth for a specific purpose. To learn cuteness as it exists naturally.
To do this, the Prince has embedded himself within a chihuahua lifestyle brand called Mainichi Chi. Here, among Earth chihuahuas, he spends his days trying on clothing, eating expensive specialty food, and chewing on high end toys. Over time, he has formed real friendships with the other chis, who accept him fully as one of their own.
To blend in, the Prince keeps his third eye closed. Occasionally, when relaxed or alone, it opens by accident. When another chihuahua notices, the reaction is always the same. Did you do something different with your hair. There is something different about you.
The Prince never explains. He simply closes his eye and continues observing.

Rax was once a normal hyrax. Small, skittish, and harmless. Then Ronnie started feeding him Slim Jiminy’s and letting him drink Kintama Energy. What started as a bad habit became permanent.
Now Rax is a hulking mass of fluff and muscle. Still cute, still wide-eyed, but powerful enough to crack ribs with a headbutt.
Rax has a very limited understanding of language. He believes he understands everything perfectly, which has caused allies serious pain. He will confidently charge in full force when the team agreed to take things slow.
Because of this, anyone close to Rax avoids giving him complex instructions or vital directions. Communication is kept to yes, no, and good boy. When plans matter, Rax is usually left out of them.
He cannot speak and responds only with tonal variations of “wa-wa.”

Ceramic art figures by Miles Nielsen that are highly influenced by old Japanese vinyl toys. Each Yakimon character fits into an imagined world as if it was in a Tokusatsu live action tv show.
Each character is designed, sculpted, molded, cast, assembled, cleaned, hand painted and glazed by Miles. Some characters, like Mutton Chomper, consist of upwards to 12 separate multi piece molds.
Miles Nielsen is also known for his continued work at Munktiki where he has been making high end collectable mugs since 2000. He's had numerous solo and group shows all over the globe with both Munktiki and Yakimon. In 2008 he did a 3 month art residency at Togei no Mori in Shigaraki, Japan.
