In-universe, the reason why they're fighting is one of the things I can't really name. In reality, hares are perfect enemies for foxes, as foxes are predators and hares are prey. The initial concept of the whole comic came from an idea of a very bizzare game.
I agree on that front, I just wonder what the individual values are. Why are they fighting? Do they have any real reasons?
The good guys, or gals, to be precise, are foxes, but honestly, I don't think there is such a division at all. None of sides is good or bad - one has my sympathy and other has not.
So who are the "good" guys here? I honestly don't know much about either side's values.
That scientist is also featured in Zone of desperation, along with Vega, the hybrid he created.
I have a story about ethical side of hybridisation, but it ends with scientist who created the hybrids killing his enemies with nukes :D
As foxes are my absolute favourite type of anthros, sorry, hares have no chance to be good or have any advantages. In future issues, I will concentrate on personal drama.
In other words, second class citizens, and an eventual Armageddon.
At any rate, yeah, you're doing pretty good! I would try and make a story that focuses on the ethicality of the experiments that led to these hybrids. I'd paint them in a sympathetic, cold light. I've got some hybrids in a steampunk book I've been plotting out for a few years now, which are commercially sold, until they revolt. These things are in a gray area, and higher offices are free to do as they want.
