''The Adventures of Fox Tayle'' is a 42-chapter story (plus an epilogue) that can be found on Website/DeviantArt. It was written by wannabemustangjockey, also known as Jay. The basic premise of the story (which seems to be finished) is that Fox Tayle was just an ordinary fox. This company that was working for the U.S. government took him in under "Project Plume". Fox, along with a German Shepherd and a wolf, are put through tests and experiments designed to turn them into tough soldiers that can be used in combat. The rationale being that animals don't have families you have to write home to when they die. At the peak of the project's success, TheGovernment ordered Project Plume cancelled, and guards came in guns blazing to the (relatively nice) cells where Fox, Shep, and Wolf were being kept. Shep and Wolf are killed instantly, but the sound of the shots that killed them warns Fox with enough time to escape.

The Amazon version is updated and expanded, with additional details in almost every scene, and an expanded opening that covers more backstory that was glossed over in the first publishing to DeviantArt.

removed aversions as those aren't listed on pages


* AKA47: Averted, since every gun that Fox uses in the story is specifically referenced to what it is (and all the guns are real-world guns).



* NobodyPoops: Averted a few times throughout the story. The first time is when Fox goes out of his way on a cold Feburary morning to do his business in the bushes. In chapter 35, he asks where the bathroom is, and since he's in Amish country, he uses an outhouse.
** Then again, in chapter 36, he pees into a bottle in a parking garage in Philadelphia. Looks like this is getting averted a little more now.
** Outhouse in Camden, New Jersey
** Suffice to say, this happens more in later chapters.
* OurPresidentsAreDifferent: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] when it's mentioned twice that the current president is plain old UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush (this story takes place in late 2005/early 2006.) See InvisiblePresident, above.
** [[spoiler:President George W. Bush finally appears in chapter 40.]]

trope is renamed Prefers Going Barefoot. Dewicking old name


* DoesNotLikeShoes: He can't wear shoes because his feet are too large. He can't wear long pants (specifically jeans), either.

Five Man Band is undergoing a wick-cleaning project, so examples lacking context on a team dynamic or what the team does will be deleted.


* FiveManBand: It's kinda vauge and they're not really evil, but if you had to put them into groups, it'd go like this...
** Dr. Theodore Cardiff - [[TheBigBad The Ringleader]] [[note]]There is actually a [[TheGhost higher-up]] BigBad [[TheManBehindTheMan above Cardiff]], but he has only been [[HeWhoMustNotBeSeen mentioned and hinted at]][[/note]].
*** [[spoiler:New information in later chapters reveals that Jack Killian Archer is the real Big Bad, and Cardiff is ''his'' Dragon.]]
** FBI Agent Bob Farley - [[TheDragon The Henchman]], [[spoiler:later, TheMole, or something, who goes through a MookFaceTurn.]]
*** [[spoiler:Turns out he was a DoubleAgent all along.]]
** Dr. Kenji Yoshimitsu - [[TheEvilGenius The Geneticist]]
** Dr. Natalya Moskvitch - [[TheDarkChick The Psychologist]]
** Dr. Heinrich Schlossburg - [[TheBrute The Biologist]]

* ArtificialAnimalPeople: Fox Tayle used to be a normal fox, until he was experimented on by "Project Plume", an initiative run by the shady [=BioCon=] group and funded by the U.S. government to transform animals into lethal soldiers. Now not only is he intelligent and sapient, he can also walk upright and has hand-like paws, essentially making him a FunnyAnimal.

Put another way, it's [[Film/TheBourneSeries The Jason Bourne trilogy]] [[XMeetsY meets]] VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog plus a whole bunch of other stuff (like a tiny bit of ''[[Film/GForce G-Force]]'', for example).
