Title: Nothing too fancy here, just some random lady.
Post by: Arylett Dawnsborough on April 27, 2013, 06:03:22 AM
Howdy! My name's Arylett, and I'm just looking for a place to hang out and make new friends, pretty much. I thought, hey, I like me some anthro creatures. So I did a Google search, and I found this here place. I'm hoping to make a new home on the internet, as my attempts to make others have been less than successful. It's easy to just... sink into inactivity and get bored of a place.


This looks like a nice little place you guys have here though. I've read the rules and I'm all ready to go! Now, you probably want to know a bit more about me, eh?


My profile says it all well. You can get the long version there. But I'll give you the short version: 21 year old furry with a Doglike fursona. It is of a species I created called Messengers. Still working on an adequate reference for mine. I'm very obsessive about getting it right, so I don't have one just yet. Not a proper one. Though I do have an unfinished version. (Which again, is linked on my profile) I haven't really participated much in the fandom in spite of calling myself a furry for nearly a year and barely know much about it. To be honest, I really used to just dislike the entire thing. But as I was drawing my own personal sona, it became gradually more humanoid over the years (started off feral)... until I realized that I did indeed like that sort of thing, what I didn't like was just the art style that a lot of people seem to use. (That animeish style.) I'm very picky about which furries I like. But I do like them nonetheless.


Speaking of my fursona, I do not think of it as a character. But rather, just me. It's just basically me as a Messenger. So she is also called Arylett. I consider my sona to be the truest representation of myself, even beyond my physical human body. (Not that it isn't a good representation. It certainly is! The fact that my sona just heavily resembles it reflects that)


I also like RPGs such as Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, Kingdom Hearts, and Pokemon. I also quite enjoy the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic series. And I am big on roleplaying, drawing, and writing as well.


Oh and let me tell you this right now. (Though if I stick around long enough, this will probably be the first thing you all learn about me from any amount of speaking one-on-one) My favorite color is red. And it is simply more than a favorite color to me. This color represents me and everything I've been since I was a young child. It has been the one constant in my life that is never changing: I love the color red. I don't consider it a trivial matter. Which sounds silly, but well, I am kind of crazy anyway.

Welcome to the forum (and fandom) Arylett ^^
I'm Ventus Fall.

I recognise a lot of things in your introduction. Some things I notice we think alike about. Like the fursona as a character and representation of oneself. And the colour. Blue/green and mixes between them also have a special meaning to me. Sometimes yellow too, though now I feel like I'm just adding colours, which isn't the case...


I saw some of your pictures on your dA and thought the ref.sheets of your Pokemon were pretty neat ^^
Also other things too, but Pokemon fan here too *waves* Untill the 3rd generation.
(And Final Fantasy, heh)


So if you ever want to chat me up or ask a question you may always send me a PM :)

Hope you'll have a great time here ^^

Welcome to the forum, Arylett! Hope you enjoy your stay here.

Also, I like to roleplay quite a bit myself, though I tend to lack the time to roleplay as frequently as I would like to. So what sort of things do you roleplay? Or, if you roleplay just about anything, what preference(s) do you have?

Welcome to the forums, Arylett!  :)  I'm Nova, and I too think exactly the same way you do about my fursona. I've found it's a hard concept to explain to a lot of people, but you do it quite nicely  :3  I think you're gonna find yourself right at home here, where we're all kind of crazy! Hope to see you around  ^_^

Thank you! So far, I'm liking the welcomes I've received. You seem like a friendly intelligent bunch.

Thanks! I'm really glad to find someone who has such in common with me. I didn't really think I would. About the colors being an important part of one's fursona, and having a special meaning. It's also nice to find a fellow Pokemon/FF fan. (I like all generations, but I can respect that preference.)

I also don't have much time/motivation to RP these days or as frequently as I would due to being caught up in a huger roleplay project I'm creating. But the sorts of things I like to roleplay? Well, basically just huge epic adventure-type things. I'm not really into slice of life. I find it rather boring. Anything with just a huge epic adventure involving a fantasy/sci-fi element is preferable. I also enjoy RPing Pokemon, Final Fantasy, and such. I've done quite a few of those.

Oh? Do you as well? I'm happy to hear I could explain it so well. (I don't usually find myself to be a good explainer.) And someone else who takes it a bit more seriously too. A little bit of crazy is always a little bit of awesome though. I think you'll find I've got quite a bit of that. And I hope to see more of that here.

Very nice meeting you indeed ^^
Well, if you ever want to talk or ask a question (about anything nearly) you can just hop by and send me a PM :)

Also, I looked at your fursona and all, pretty detailed and neatly being put together. I like it (:

So you like large scale really plotty roleplays, huh? Those tend to be what I prefer as well mostly because I think it's easier to keep things interesting for most people when there's lots of plot involved. However, my most successful, most beloved and longest running roleplay is a slice of life rp. xD It's been going on for about five years now. Constantly active for that whole time, too.
