Title: How Do You See Your Fursona(s)?
Post by: Rainbowbulldog on May 06, 2016, 02:34:41 AM
I was just curious about how other people saw their fursona(s). For me they are like an extension of myself because in each one of them I put something from myself into them but as I continue to develop them they pick up other things into their personality so they become almost like their people(furs). What do you guys think?

Eh it sounds weird now that I write it out. I'm not sure if anyone has asked this before or if this is in the right place so just tell me if it isn't.

No I never seen a thread like this so I think your in the clear.
My fursona well she's basically me... But a monster, has magic and such. That's it.

Spike is a reflection of me, just more of a coyote who shares the same flaws and traits that I do. Not spiritual or anything though. He's my identity when interacting with other furs either online or at cons.

Originally styxx. Was a manifestation of my inner demon. But I never really made him my sons until late last year, he is who I hope to become. As in brave enough to just throw himself into a group of people and join the convo and so on. Where as me, I am too alerted by groups of people working where the gun is going to be pointed or the knife/sword will be swung from...  I know it doesn't happen where I currently am but when it happens enough you stay alerted.

But styxx is. Who I want to be in the future.

Wolf is just my alter ego, he shares most of my traits and personality, he's just a furry version of myself.

Halei-Helai is kind of weird for me. She is partially an alter-ego who I think is cool to portray myself as from time to time. She also acts as something of a muse for me when writing stories, and it is almost like Halei is a gazetteer for my imagination, if that makes any kind of sense whatsoever. Ever since adopting her as my fursona my creative output has actually surged considerably.

Rocco is an improved me, who I wish I could be. He has the same Backstory as me, so who knows, maybe I will become him mentally one day.
I do NOT want to turn into Kyr'am.

I see My sonas as an entire universe for it self, it has a timeline, name and society around it and a varss storyline that i have used many years on creating, Skya, Clowra, Cida, Mittie and Merloon are all a part of it :)

Alistair is mostly an extension of myself, at least the happy and spry parts of me. He doesn't come with all the woes that my actual self comes with.

My fursonas are who I want to be, but symbolized.

Dax is his own person but with some traits from me and many of his own. He has his own life and story of his own. I just try to keep him similar to me but still his own person.

My Fursona is how I wish I was. Im shy and antisocial where she isn't. As well as that she is an artistic version of myself.

DeNihil, being the product of the most advanced technology one can think of, is a dream of mine. He'll be real someday, I hope. Either I'll become him, or simply create him if the former isn't feasible.

Post by: Nutmeg on May 13, 2016, 09:41:50 PM
I see my fursonas as little extensions of myself, each focusing on a different aspect of my personality. Nutmeg is the most social, she loves to chat and speak to others while I'm quite shy irl. She's the happy, caring, creative and passionate part of me rolled up into one ball of fluff  X3

Literally all me, but just some walking, talking furry animal. I'm just too lazy to make a better "fursona".

"Foxy 'Vee" and "Firox" is just the way I am, all cheerful and happy and always willing to learn, just the like way I like to be - only difference is that my foxy self isn't shy at all as the real me is very shy at first.

Post by: DestinyUnleashed on May 17, 2016, 10:09:32 PM
Rayna (Destiny) Is really just what I become when I'm around people I'm comfortable with.


She's carefree, snuggly, and just all-around has a very enriching personality.


I'm as quiet and dull as a mouse in real life when I'm not around people I'm familiar with. I used to not always be like that... but things happen.


We're both very sensitive and in-touch with our own and other people's emotions.


She's a wolf because wolves are the animals I know my heart is closest to, even though I desperately wanted it to be a horse, I didn't choose to be.

Post by: Ron on May 18, 2016, 02:47:09 AM
Basically me. Everything I put into it is from me, and is dictated by my thought and personality. It's what I would probably be if the fursona world was the real world, well close to it anyway some things i add are a little out and improbably or impractical.

I see my fursona with a magnification lense.

Post by: Rob_Silvermyst on May 19, 2016, 04:16:37 AM
I see my fursona as me if placed in a fantasy-medieval setting. Overall still a better version of me, and more of my moral compass.
Title: Re: How Do You See Your Fursona(s)?
Post by: Jane on May 24, 2016, 05:16:28 PM
My fursona is like me but more sophisticated and crazy. Which is why they're always seen with that grin on their face
Title: Re: How Do You See Your Fursona(s)?
Post by: Doops on May 26, 2016, 08:08:30 AM
for me it is like the personality of me but in another body, sure I may have fun with it once a while. But the cannon personality of my fursona is me in a nut shell

Definately an extention of myself and also the playful side and just basically me, all wrapped up in fluffeh fur  ^_^ Not only that, but is also the more confident side of me

Post by: Moabird on June 03, 2016, 09:19:44 AM
my fursona is definitely just a better me. he is more colourful, feathery and curious. Hmm i would love to be him for a day.
I'd be the fellow who if offered would be their  fursona.
my fursona is also a bit of a part of my therian experience i suppose, probably boosting my attachment to him.

Post by: Caesium Iodide on June 03, 2016, 05:09:27 PM
Caesi is definitely just me. She's not so much who I want to be, but the representation of who I am. I made her a little more goofy and hazy because what would be lovable about a scary monster that is actually like a plush?
I have other fursonas for a reason, so they don't contaminate Caesi. If you remember Gravedigger, you've been here a while and remember me well.

When it comes to G he is me. We share the same personality and way of life. The only difference is I have him a life of things that I would dream to have.

He is like an alter ego for me though when it comes to the internet. I will be honest even irl I prefer to be called G all the time and a lot of people actually do.

Mine, while it is only a sort of concept (no drawing yet as you can tell) it's the gender that I wish to be but the personality I have, so a half-and-half to my own person

I see Connor (My Foxy Fursona) As me, but better, more confident, more playful whereas irl im fairly awkward, my autism really shows when I'm in person : |


My fursona? But that's just me with a V (If you get that joke thank you are a good person)

shoon is what i am suppous to be, what i am if i didnt have in my life stupid things that are, like war, terrorisem, morons, morons, most friends that are in diffrent countrys, more globddam morons.
that and a correct me, in a impossible way (see my favorite thing in science for this very reason; quantum physics), in this world i dont have magic the power to truly be unique and show my intellegnce.
shoon is the me without stupid stuff in life and in the reaity that bring me down (not mentally i meditate for that).

Don't really have a fursona. Just characters. So they're characters, I suppose. Simple, really.

Post by: Delta The Wolf on July 27, 2016, 04:59:36 AM
Delta really is just me and what I'd like to become. We both got the same personality, same way of life, same views on stuff. He's basically just me as a wolf.

They are my friends and family. They have always been the ones I could trust, and that will never change.
Though I won't go into my other fursonas and characters too much, sha-draw is the near opposite of what I am. Funny, witty, strange, fearless, adorable... He's good at doing those. I'm just along for the ride.

My fursona to me is a alter ego. He says the things I can't dose the things I don't and has fun. It's sort of a different personality I can change into at will

This question is way harder to answer then I initially thought. Vox is basically the romanticized version of myself, my fantasies personified (huh like the word persona). So in my mind when I visualize myself that's who I envision. In recent memories I haven't really interacted with any fur circles mainly because I have no IRL ones  :'( . So my fursona doesn't really get to shine which is alright Vox is basically just the physical appearance I wish for because mentally me and him are the same person. Same guy who played way too many hours of SA2 for the chao garden, same guy incapable of expressing his feeling to a girl due to the soul crushing fear of rejection, and same sociopath that just go to his minimum wage job and puts on the creepy happy demeanor and plastic face while in his head spits curses upon the idiots he serves there. I wouldn't have it any other way. Vox to me is just the answer to the question "If you could have any body you wanted what would it be?" (That got way easier as I got to the end of my thought train.) :)

I like to see Kai as an ideal of myself. Not necessarily ideal in the sense that he's perfect, but an attainable persona (physical qualities aside, of course) that I'd like to more closesly resemble :3

Mocha is like... a friend. One of the only I have. I'm lonely so thought up a fursona that I could get along with, I spent weeks making her, and Putting a bit of myself into her, so that I could have a friend who doesn't judge me. Kinda like an imaginary friend, and and identity for the internet.
