Lore
A long, long time ago, a giant magical gem struck the Northernmost part of the world. From that gem spread an energy that came to be known as "Mana"; the closer to the gem, the stronger this energy became, its magic changing people and wildlife alike. The southern half of the planet was unaffected, but not wishing to be left behind by this phenomenon, they instead threw themselves into studying and creating machinery.
So was born a world populated by both magical creatures and high-tech androids alike.
Near the middle of this world, in a small town populated by humans and a few androids, lives the young android Kikari. Magical creatures are a rare sight there, so imagine his surprise when the apparently-a-fox Speedline turns up out of nowhere. After finding out that Speedline is lost, Kikari decides to let him stay with him for a while, something that soon snowballs into three new housemates.

Creations in this setting:
ASK KIKARI (Ask blog, Cancelled)
An ask blog for Kikari and his friends and, to a lesser extent, all my OCs. Although I tried to keep it alive, low response and general burnout caused me to drop it.
THE CURIOUS HEDGEFOX (Game, Unfinished)
A visual novel/dating game where the player falls into the RaCT world and is taken in by Kikari and friends while they try to find them a way home.
Had two versions, but neither worked out.
SNOW DAY (Comic, Cancelled)
A cute test comic about the group on a snowy day. It was meant to introduce the character Cryoza, but petered out before that could happen.
PET SHOP HEARTACHE (Game, Cancelled)
A visual novel in which the player gets a job at the town's pet shop and tries to get closer to its owner, the jerboa animaloid Sepia. Was started as a challenge but fell apart due to writing troubles.
FNF MOD - SPEEDLINE (Mod, Finished)
A mod that replaces Pico with Speedline, because I was curious how easy that game was to mod. Turns out, very easy!
ROBOTS AND MYSTERY GIFTS (Game, Cancelled)
A visual novel in which Kikari contacts the player to ask for help, as a friend of his has been leaving mysterious gifts and he doesn't know who, but also doesn't know how to approach the subject.
