Jasonafex, also known as Vergence (born July 3, 1991), is a furry artist, animator, writer and podcaster from Western Australia. He is married to furry artist Kabier (Genesis), living together in Ontario, Canada. He has remained active in the furry community as a regular content creator for over 8 years.

Fursona[edit]

Jasonafex's fursona, Vergence, is a cross between a lizard and a raptor. The character has become a brand mascot over the years, appearing in several animations, comics, games and apparel. A full timeline and backstory for Vergence was created in 2020 for Jasonafex.com. [1] The character has become a fan favorite over the years, garnering a large quantity of fanart in comparison to their other characters.

Animation[edit]

Jason began his furry career in 2012, growing in popularity on FurAffinity for his Flash animations, collaborating with many popular furry artists to create the illusion of movement and depth with their static artwork. Many of his animations feature artwork created by his wife Kabier who became a frequent collaboration partner over time. He would slowly transition away from animation and into other forms of media over the next few years.

Game Development[edit]

Jason's dating sim, Amorous

In 2014 he announced he was working on a furry adult dating game titled Amorous, releasing a demo of the game in November of that year.[citation needed] The full game was published for free on Steam on April 13, 2018.[2]

Jason's metroidvania, BBS

In 2015, Jason began work on a furry adult Beat 'em up named Bare Backstreets,[3] publishing a demo before discontinuing development to focus on Amorous. Jason would announce BBS would be returning to full development in 2019 via a trailer made on his Youtube channel [4] with a new frame by frame animation art style. [5]

Also in 2015, Jason experimented with interactive flash games in collaboration with Kabier and Skydeertoons.[6] He would then partner with Fek to create Bedplay[7] which became one of the most popular adult games on the Newgrounds platform.

In 2018, Jason would post his last game made in flash Toy Tester[8] before moving onto making games in Unity. He would then release Fursona Maker later that year for free. [9]

Bad Dragon[edit]

Jasonafex's Toy on Bad Dragon

The Bad Dragon adult toy "Dexter" is based off a design for Jasonafex's fursona's genitalia, designed by Jasonafex, which won a Bad Dragon Labs Staff Pick.[10]

Comics[edit]

Lesson Learnt Comic

In 2015, Jason and Kabier uploaded their first furry comic Lesson Learnt to FurAffinity. The comic has since been moved to his website Jasonafex.com[11]

A non-canon sequel titled Christmas Came Early was uploaded shortly after on FurAffinity, featuring rhyming narrator Seth from the game Amorous [12]

Later that year Jason and Kabier released Man's Best Friend With Benefits on FurAffinity that featured a love triangle between an anthro cat, his girlfriend and his stray feral dog. [13], and a short Undertail parody comic titled Undertail. [14]

The comic Servants of the Serpents would be released the following year in 2016 with new characters, villains and an overarching slave plot.[15]

In 2017 they released Double Trouble to FurAffinity, a comic featuring a female Lynx and two giant feral wolves. [16] The comic was later censored in 2020 by Patreon as they no longer allowed bipedal (Anthro) and non bipedal (Feral) sexual pairings. Patreon also had concerns that the main character did not consent on certain pages.

In 2019 Jason released Bareback Valley to Fur Affinity, noting the first time humans have appeared in their comics.[17] The comic is almost finished on Patreon. [18]The comic has since been censored by Patreon as they no longer allow Antrho and Human sexual pairings. Patreon also had concerns that the anthro characters did not consent on certain pages. Two versions of the comic exist to support both formats, with the original human version now being hosted on Subscribestar.[19]

Podcasting[edit]

Cuckshack Podcast

Jasonafex began a podcast in 2017 titled The Cuckshack, where he discusses events in the furry fandom and hosts members of the fandom as guests.[citation needed] The podcasts are often released with an accompanying animation of his and his guests' fursonas' mouths moving and gesticulating in time with the speaker.[20] The series was discontinued on 20 Feb 2019 in favor of a new VRChat series on Youtube.[21]

Discord[edit]

ERP Discord Banner

In 2018 Jason began hosting a community Discord server where he regularly interacts with his fans, co-ordinates weekly gaming/movie nights and ERP adventures, recreating scenarios and characters from the comics. [22]

Website[edit]

In 2020 Jason launched a new website Jasonafex.com dedicated to hosting all of their content from over the course of the careers for both himself and Kabier. Each character featured in their comics/pinups has been given their own webpage to further flesh out their backstories, relationships and fanart galleries. [23]

Jasonafex

On July 2023, Jasonafex was accused on Twitter by an employee and at the time developer of Bare Backstreets of failing to adhere to his financial obligations, and that he could be lodging a complaint with the Alberta Labor Board.[25] Despite Jasonafex’s claims to have privately settled the matter, the complaint was formally lodged in September 2023.[26]

Since then, Bare Backstreet has not had any updates. Despite Jasonafex’s decision to continue to accept donations aimed toward funding development.

Back in September 2017, Jasonafex moved with Kabier to Mississauga to stay in a three story home with another Furaffinity user by the name of BleakSteadtler.[27] And on December 2017, a fifty three minute long audio recording surfaced. Where Jasonafex and Kabier can be heard arguing with, threatening, and attempting to blackmail BleakSteadtler over being asked to begin paying rent.[28]
