Overview

Rink is a small cyberpunk rabbit explorer, builder, and dreamer: a curious character from another future who wanders between technology, cities, ancient places, and the natural world.

He is not just a mascot. Rink is a visual archetype for curiosity, building, independence, family, and the tension between exploring every possible path and committing to what matters over time.

The Character System

Curious Builder

  • Asks why, wanders widely, and notices overlooked paths
  • Turns ideas into things and learns by making them real
  • Thinks independently while remaining anchored by care and family

A World to Explore

  • Wander through Atlas to follow trails across places and questions
  • Rummage through the Field Desk to inspect notebooks and artefacts
  • Connect unexpected ideas in the Signal Map

Field Notes

  • Uses Rink to map real questions, experiments, and works in progress
  • Combines hand-drawn worldbuilding with interactive web experiences
  • Extends into reusable illustrations, social stories, and a portable animated companion

Technical Implementation

The Rink website is a static Next.js experience built around canonical character art and a warm, hand-drawn visual system. Its Atlas, Field Desk, and Signal Map routes add spatial exploration, quiet physical interactions, ambient sound, and accessible controls without changing Rink's established identity.
