How to be a furry

[Gabag]

Hello, I am Gabag

most of you probably know me as that zealous human marine with a crapload of weaponry, technology, or spare clone bodies.

Now i decided to become a furry (feline cause cats rule and cause my Math teacher who is awe inspiring has 7 of 'em)


How exactly do I be a furry? I know how to be the zealous human marine, but not the cute kitty

Well this is an interesting surprise. I always assumed you were perfectly happy with your human persona. Oh well, change is good.

Now, to be a furry, generally i think the first steps is to identify the characteristics and personality of a cat that you identify with. What do you think is so great about them and how does that relate to you? Then act accordingly. Generally though, the fursona is just representing yourself as truthfully as you can create.

i was happy, but then decided that might as well confuse the whole forum in one fell swoop as well as do something new

well, do a comedic version of your human counter-part. y'know, maybe a better description would be, be the tiny new guy.

[Gabag]

hmmmm

the tiny new guy who's treated like a redshirt?

there's an idea there.. might have to look into it, which is kinda true about me, because i usually have to act the redshirt role in home movies or school movies,

Oh God, not the rookie, please.

try going a lot more animalistic and dangerous

fine...


*thinks of ideas*

I wasn't dangerous before, I carried an automatic rocket launcher for crying out loud

You don't have to change your personality at all... just a change of appearance could be fitting. But if you absolutely feel you need the change, make the personality "fit" the appearance or vice-versa.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

but look at the kitteh!

I'm talking DANGEROUS. The kinda guy who would be kept on a leash if he hadn't eaten his owners. but also fiercely intelligent, like a really animated hanibal lecter

[Gabag]

either a red shirt or a dangerous killer

but i can't decide now, for Lanas yells at me to play starcraft now.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

how about the clumsy newbie that just happens to have way too much friggin and believable luck?

[Alice The Necrofox]

Hehe, i used to play one of them on another forum

But, for Shiro, he is kind of my changing personality. Not like a full change, but his powers are versitile cause' i have yet to find my perfect combo.
Really shiro is me, just as a foxy

As Vosur said, having an anthro character is not much different from having a human character. But it's how you define them that makes them different, I suppose. Rigor is actually based on something I had a long time ago that was human, then it shifted to Nyx, now Rigor. The fun thing about anthros in my opinion at least is actually trying to fit things around the animal.. Like Rigor's pretty anti-social.. Well, so are dragons, hatefully so, while chameleons are more weary.. Her's is a combination of both.

Well you've done a great job. LAWL .

I haven't changed my fursona at all. If anything, Spike is a human who happens to be a fox. I gave him most of my old bad habits and some of my new ones. I gave him my personality and my dreams. I make him do what I've always wanted to do. I make him live the way I live. Spike is me. I am Spike without all the fox-ness (Most of it atleast ) . I haven't changed anything about myself to accomodate my fursona. I've never really considered that there was an actual way to "be a furry." You just have to be yourself and have a love for anthros.
