Suicide For Hire is a furry webcomic written and drawn by Rafael Medina.

It revolves around the adventures of two teen-aged males who run a suicide-for-hire business, hence the webcomic's name. The two teens are Hunter Ravenwood, a fox, and Arcturus Winrock, a mouse.

Characters

Hunter Ravenwood is a reckless and carefree teen who believes that their business is actually helping society, feeling little or no compassion for the people who come to them. Though Arcturus originally came up with the idea, Hunter was the one who ran with it, doing most of the ‘artistic planning’ for their customer’s deaths. He has a severe porn obsession, even for a teenager. Multiple times throughout the story, Hunter threatens strangers and lays his societal views upon them.

Arcturus Winrock is the more sensible of the two. Despite being the one to suggest helping people off themselves in the first place, he never expected to make a business out of it. Unlike his more bloodthirsty friend, he is more likely to suggest alternatives to their customers, instead of immediately accepting the job. Their continued success is a source of confusion and paranoia to him. This stress has culminated in the appearance of a new personality, Xero, that argues with Arcturus about the morality of their actions. Xero is best described as a manifestation of Arcturus's dark side, though it is more cynical than malicious. He is a smoker, Steely Dan Fan, allergic to pecan nuts, and is obsessed with X-Play’s Morgan Webb. He is often called 'Arc' by Hunter.

"Scrotum Jones", a rooster, is a relatively common character in the final unfinished story arc. He turns up at the door of the SFH treehouse headquarters after seeing the 'wanted' ads that Hunter had put in local newspapers after Arc's exit some time before. Both Hunter and Arc take an instant dislike to him and plan to get rid of Jones by discouraging him from joining. Jones' real name is never given, but Arc gives him the 'official codename' "Scrotum Jones", which he pleads to be changed to Mister Jones. Arc and Hunter agree, but always refer to him as his former given codename.
