The Rabbit Family:

Don't let it fool you, this family and the hare family are two totally different sides of the spectrum. Although they may seem similar on the outside, both their species and their family dynamics are very different. I started working on Club sometime after Ace, and so their development went hand in hand, thus why they're characters which are very close to one another.
Club, the strange rabbit:
Club was, without a doubt, a very strange child growing up, and arguably still is well into adulthood. Growing up, they spent a lot of their time home alone, having two busy parents who didn't have much time or energy for them. This led Club to have a lot of social skills when they went through school, not knowing how to really interact with others or what was deemed 'socially acceptable' by the general public. This was an easy excuse to ostracize Club and for many years left them without a healthy group of peers.Though this definitely had an affect on Club as they grew up, they weren't entirely bothered by the fact that they didn't have friends. They were left alone most of the time, no one talked bad or picked on them... so it wasn't a problem. Though, the moment Club found and became friends with Ace, the two practically became siblings. The two found each other in their freshman year of high school and have been glued at the hip ever since. The two helped each other through a lot of hard times, one of such being their identities. Ace talked to Club a lot about his gender identity throughout high school and Club shared their thoughts and experiences as well, eventually coming out as Non-Binary to Ace, while Ace came out as trans to them, and then to the rest of his family come senior year. Club is technically still in the closet to most people except for Ace.
Nowadays Club finds them self playing up their strangeness and have little to no care about what other people say. They've become fascinated with fashion so much so that they post online almost every day sporting a brand-new outfit, and have gained quite a following doing so.
Drake, the deadbeat dad:
Drake, Club's father, has never been a very honest or open man even before his child was born. And on top of that, he's known to have an above-average temper as well. Needless to say this caused him more than a little grief in life.When Club was born Drake had been in a relationship with a businesswoman. Their personalities meshed well enough, however, once a child entered the picture things started to go downhill fast. There were petty arguments over nothing, fights over work, time spend with one another and the kid, money, etc. It proved too much so, having never been married to Drake, Club's mother parted ways with him only a few years after her child's birth. Drake was a mess afterwards, angry and resentful, so much so that he lost his current job. Despite it all, he tired to be a good father.
Drake moved a handful of times with his child before settling in a small apartment, hiring baby sitters to watch his kid while he was at work, but ultimately leaving Club to look after them self once they were old enough. His relationship with Club has always been strained, but he truly thinks he did the best he could with the little he had.
