:) I know everyone views it differently, some people feel as if they are their Fursona, but put in the wrong body sotra, some think of it as an alternative you who can better represent your true personality (That's my view), that's only a few views, what's your view?
-
In a nutshell, I am not my fursona, however my fursona is me... savy?
My fusona is simply a metaphorical representation of my personality :P
Hence it being me, though me not being it.
-
My fursona is literally just a furry, Ottery version of myself. And also an extension of myself, as well.
This is also why I'm very protective of my fursonas image, and why I'm very picky in the way people visualize it, because it's essentially myself. If that makes sense.
-
My fursona(s) are pretty important to me, sometimes I see myself as Jovi (my main fursona, a black friesian horse) and sometimes I see myself as Holly. Holly is my secondary fursona and a little bit more sassy than Jovi is because she's a black panther. So if I'm feeling particularly sassy or witty that day I may view myself as Holly rather than Jovi.
The way I've designed my characters, however, is completely different. In total I have 10 characters that are all used for separate things, but mostly role plays or stories. Phantom and Jay were adoptables that I bought from people on FA. Jovi, Holly, Bones, Zamaria, Nash, Thanatos, and Eros are all original characters. The first 5 represent parts of me. Jovi is all of me, Holly is a specific part of me mixed with a bit of all of me, Bones is the cocky smartass part of me, Zamaria is me hyper, and Nash is honestly kind of on the way out of my character list.... But he's the 19 year old irresponsible one. They all have stories.
Jovi Sparks- Friesian Horse
Holly Lavalai- Black Panther
Salem Nefarious- Black Panther/Western Dragon Hybrid = Cagon
Bones McCarthy- Wolgryphicorn- Wolf/Gryphon/Unicorn Hybrid
Jay Bird- Dragaleo (Dragon/Lion Hybrid)
Zamaria Westly- Ferret
Nashyan Rio- White Wolf
Phantom Rainbow- Wolfsky (Wolf/Husky)
Thanatos- Northern Sergal
Eros- Northern Sergal

Exactly.
Extension of myself is definately a way I would put it.
-
My fursona is me in furry form :P I don't see me in real life as my fursona and I don't see my fursona as a different character to me. It's just the furry representation of me in the fandom, like a username on a gaming platform, except more detailed and deeper :P.
-
My fursona is not just me, it's a different side of myself.
My fursona represents my playful and childish side, it IS me in every single way I am and want to be and what I enjoy.
My fursona is not just a character or an alter ego, I usually refer to my fursona as "me" or "I" instead of differentiating between the "me me" and the "fursona me". So my fursona is me, my favorite part of myself.
I often tend to talk to myself, almost converse with myself. Those chats with myself are always between the "me" part and the "fox/fursona" part as well. If that can be diagnosed as a split or dual personality I'm unsure and don't really care too much about, but I know I do it and has done so for as long as I can remember. Though back then I didn't call the other part a fox or my fursona but rather just have a nickname for it.
Worth mentioning is that every once in a while I get random urges to do animal stuff like noises and go on 4 legs and chase things (looks at a ball of yarn on my desk~). I also use a different voice and pitch for said fox personality.
-
See my fursona, on the left? I am World of Warcraft, and my fursona is the Cataclysm expansion pack. He adds everything; new worlds, new levels, new characters, moves, and abilities.
In non-geek terms, my fursona is a really open version of me. He's me when I don't have anything to hide - he reflects my personality when at home, and my secrets and interests. He's a completely different person from me - like how Cataclysm is quite different from the WoW base set.
Excuse my really geeky talk.
I've been meaning to change my fursona design anyway, as he looks really cartoony, and that wasn't a look I was trying to achieve when designing him.
-
Well obviously you have no idea what my fursona looks like but ill try and describe hiimm.....me.
First off my fursona is pretty much me, furry.
When I picture my other me I see myself being very noble, trustworth, and confident.
I would be standing with my chin up, looking forward with a hundred mile gaze.
I would also have two fangs comeing out of my mouth, maby one of them chiped.
My coat would be light gray with spots of white and long full hair, same colors.
I would be suited up in battle worn templar plate mail(no full helm), classic colors.(white base/red Cross and trim)
A kite shield would be strapped to my left arm and a bastard sword sheath on my back coming up past my right shoulder.(barley)
I would be holding my sword with the blade down in the ground at my feet.
A furry knight in shining armor! ^_^
-
To me my fursona is mainly myself except an anthro otter, but he also adds more. I use him as my RP character, mainly, and he can do things I cannot. In my mind I create stories for him, and he has seen more than I have.
-
I view my fursona as a more dormant side of my personality. My fursona holds my most energetic and interactive side, while the normal me is semi autistic, calm, and indecisive. So, In a sense, when I'm most social I just let my fursona do the talking :P
-
My fursona is my future self, at least temporarily. After that, it will be used as an avatar of my future self, much like it is an avatar on these forums.
-
My fursona is just a fantasy, a dream. nothing more.
-
Mine is myself, but as an otter, I also take some parts of it into my everyday life as well.
-

If you so desire, it can be less of a dream, and more of a reality...
-
For me, Kiara is nothing more but a character designed by me. Albeit an extremely special character that I use to describe myself. She is the more social, the more outgoing me. She's my more extroverted side, although there's a lot of introverted shyness and quirkiness that goes along with her personality. I'm not saying all introverts are shy and quirky, its just that I'm a shy and quirky introvert and a lot of us (introverts) tend to be quirky, if not a little shy. The five or six I know definitely fit the shy and quirky bill, at least.
Back to Kiara. I enjoy creating stories for her and thinking her out. She's seen more than me, done more than me. I keep my cheeky, witty, sarcastic nature put inside me for the most part. Kiara is a more mature, adult me, therefore being a lot older than me, if only by four or five years. My adult height is supposedly just around 5'10", so that's where she stands for now. Kiara is the me that generally says all those witticisms, those comments, all the little things I want to say but bite back. Heck - she's an electric blue and white cheetah/fox mix! What can you expect? Most of all, she's my fursona. We are two sides of the same leaf, two parts of the same book. Part A is not the same with Part B, although both can stand alone.
-
Like someone stated earlier, I am not my fursona, but my fursona is me.
A lot of people ask me why my fursona is a male. The answer is because I myself and genderqueer, and although I can sometimes live happily in a female body, there are many, many days where I just wish I had been born in a male body. Slide is that male half of myself. I've put much of my male characteristics into him that are very much a part of me; characteristics that I myself do not have, but wish to have.

then I would be the one how make it [size=78%]reality.[/size]
[size=78%]but still i see no [/size][size=78%]reality in it [/size] ;) .

More likely I would make it reality if you paid me, because I'm working on researching the genetics and neurology necessary to print out germ-line modified bodies which the brain can then be transplanted into. It makes you immortal if you keep buying new bodies as well.
-
I never going to do a thing like this, sorry.
This is something where I can dream about, something what can make me happy. I will not lose this.

Your brain can decay by the way...
And it is possible to reach "full capacity" for memory.

Well I have many 'characters' that I have come up with over the while. But the one I've finally settled on is pictured on the left side, whose name is Zaphier Alvarez. He's a black, anthro, Egyptian Jackal. He's the fursona that represents me directly, and is more or less just a furry visual representation of the real me with a few furry characteristics and actions.
As for my characters, I usually use them all for the purpose of role playing. I'd list them all; but I don't think I'll bother because the list is so long. Besides; I've got to keep SOME secrets :3.

The brain can decay, but such decay can also be countered. Replace the body with a healthier and "younger" one, and the brain should follow suit.
Also, reaching full memory capacity won't be a problem. When you get full, just implant an artificial hippocampus (currently in animal testing!)and expand thy memory. Eventually, you will be able to completely transfer your consciousness to a computer so brain decay won't be an issue.
-
My fursona is just a representation of my personality. Quirky, honest, a bit shy, humorous, very curious albeit not marred by clinical depression like me.
-
AorenneroA is my excuse really. Under the visage of Aoren I can be me and under Neroa i can be who I want to be, all in the microverse of the internet, where creativity isnt bound up so tightly. It's my personality given what is essentially literary form.
-
My fursonas are several things. They are characters with their own personalities, but they're also me. They are different parts of me, similar to dissociative identity disorder, just not as severe or as complete. A friend of mind has verified that something in my aura changes when it happens, so I know it isn't just my imagination. Riku is the nature-immersed part of me. Tai is barely restrained anger, and pushed too far, explosive, unsatiable rage. Matthias is the side of me that adores running and balancing on things, as well as lounging around almost naked. Sanji is a dancer in the most sensual way possible. Kon is mischief. Fen is fear of self. It only gets more and more complicated from there. If by chance that actually interests someone, message me, please.
-
My fursona is an extention of myself. While at the same time also functions as a sort of promise to become more outgoing and talkative ^_^ .
-
An inner alter ego really. The part of me that is fascinated with adventure, danger, and well...anything Im afraid to do, I just remember hes brave and that were the same person.
-
Like Zombiezu, I have a goal to make these topics a reality, although my side is much more artificial...
If the technological projection of the Deus Ex Universe is correct, there will be widespread Mechanical Augmentation by at least 2027. Only another fifteen years from now. That would mean, if you had the money, you could pretty much become your persona. Some would be more complex than others... a lot of you would need replacement of bone and muscle, and artificial fur impanted into your mechanical shell. I'm not sure about the skull, however... In Deus Ex: Human Revolution, there are many people who have full-body Augmentations, all save for their heads. Lawrence Barrett looks to have a jaw replacement, most probably have enhanced or mechanical eyes, and Adam Jensen can aquire many brain Implants and Augmentations, but that's about it for cranial Augmentations. That is probably a high-risk or even a no-go area if you intended to change the shape of the skull, as they would have to remove your brain and build you a new skull that is still 'roomy' enough to house it. Some day it will work. Some day.
Special characteristics of mine might still be out of reach for many years after such advancements, due to the fact that he can take small quantities of non-organic matter, like plastic and metal, and quickly use them to repair of modify his own structure, or simply change the shape of the object without combining it with himself. He could turn a small PVC pipe into a knife, for example, without having to cut and shape it by hand. The highly advanced upgrades given to him by the Subjugators would certainly be impossible for a VERY long time, which are the actual shapeshifting abilities he usually exhibits in role-plays, along with the technology to store materials in a bank of sorts and 'download' them to use whenever he needed more mass than he had on his body, and then store them later when changing to a less massive form.

my fursona is the side of me that doesn't think too deeply about things, and only focuses on fun things and living life, in a happy but generic way. my fursona is the type of character i want too be, with no hate towards any thing, and just being able to go with the flow of things and be happy and not care, like every one else.
I over think things and care too much about the bigger picture, leaving many things behind, and over looking the better points of life, my fursona is still like this, just too a much lesser extent
(there is also a sexual/love part too it but im sure you dont want to hear that)
I hope that makes sense, im not good with words.
-
I view mine as a goal of how I want to live in terms of physical fitness, profession and living conditions. The main reason he was made was so I had something to motivate me to do the things to achieve that goal, like exercising and studying, and it has been working great.
-
i sometimes feel like JYNX but i'm not really. only when i'm happy (almost all the time)do i feel like my fursona.
-
Bayzan is me and I am Bayzan :)
-
i over complicated my answer.i am jynx inside...thats all
-
Putting it simply - my 'sona is just the furry version of me. With some extras ;3
-
My fursona is variably either a self-insert or a character in it's own right, depending on whether I post in forum games or not. As a self-insert, I treat the fursona as male in discussions, but since ant soldiers are female, I treat my fursona as female during roleplaying.

Haha, I always hated that about Insects, even though they're really great. :D
"Hmm, how 'bout a Yellow Jacket? They have stingers and don't look cute! That'd be AWESOME!! Wait... I gotta be female to have a stinger? Dang. :c"
-
Good suggestion, but I think ants are cooler by far.
Also, I've decided my fursona won't represent me now. I'll use her just as a character in her own right.
-
Hmm...Well, my fursona is a lot like me, but he's also everything i wish i could be/aspire to be. So in that sense, he's a possible me.
-

It was a joke, kind of. I always liked Bees and stuff, even though I got stung once or twice in my life by them. One of DeNihil's favorite forms to take is that of a Geth Wasp, of course he still has a stinger because he can make any alteration he wants to his form, not simply adhering to 'blueprints' for various species or gender.
He's also a showoff. :P
-
A way to express my 'animalistic' side I guess.
-
hmm. My fursona is me pretty much, only ya know. With fur, and a tail..and ears.
-
My fursona is me personality wise I suppose. However my fursona's size is more of what I wish I was... I'm not quite 5'10, 170lbs haha. I'm only 5'9ish, almost 150lbs. I still have an athletic body build in real life though.
-
I view my fursona as somewhat plain I'm afraid :/ also the way I act on the forum tends not to reflect the picture of my fursona, I really need to redraw it.
