I'm new here and I need some help. plz?

[Shaye]

Well, I just decided to become a furry, but I don't know what species I want to be.
I can think of a few, but I also think they're too common.
Lion, Panther, Leopard, Tiger, fox, or some sort of dog.
Is there anything else I need to know to become a furry?
I've already read loads of stories and they have finaly convinced me of going furry.

Oh, and I don't really know how the forums work yet.
But I love the emoticons  !

Hello and welcome, nice to meetcha.

Well you could always try one of them tests online or just think which species suits you the most or is most like you

[Moongaze]

Hello and welcome!  I'm one of the lovable foxes around here!  It's great to meet you!

*jumps on Shaye's head*

I'm also the only fox hat

Hmmm...  Picking a species can be tricky.  I'd say associate your personality with a few animals and go from there.  You can always make a hybrid of some sort.

I found that "lions are social, leopards are loners" so I'm the lather.

Going to set up the settings on my profile now. Thx guys  !

Yip, yip Shaye! Welcome to the forum!
Im Timmy the fox, the only Royal Cutefox around here hehe... and i never say no to get a new friend btw

For tha species, just choose the one you feel most comfortable with, a good way to find the best species is to first look at which species applies best for your personality

Ello! Cats arn't as common as one would have you think. Canids are much more common.

Candy made by Mina herself using XS level magic, intermingles darkness and light mana, and compressing it, all in a in a spiffy box. This candy has been the downfall of many a warrior, and long time human users are prone to candy cancer. Only truly strong warriors (Lazguz or otherwise) can eat this candy without ill effects. Comes in 5 diffrent flavors, but  is always inhumanly sweet.

Play around with various species, try making up a hybrid...just have fun! Also, I don't think there is any rule saying you have to have just one fursona. I'm working on my white tiger, Cira Altacia but I've also played with a fox character named Fenchurch, and I'd love to have a unicorn fursona as well. I guess furry is all about fun for me, and I tend to overdo fun.

Think carefully on what you want your fursona to be like and stuffs. You can have more than one like some furs choose too. 
well...I don't want to type too much so if you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask. some one here will love to answer it. Hope to see you around!

Hiya Shaye! Welcome to the furry forums! Picking a fursona can be tough, there are even some who change them regularly until they find one that they like. Find one that suits your personality.
*Extends paw* I offer you my friendship if you want to accept it. Also *bends down and touches snout to Shaye's forehead and blesses Shaye with magic*
Its a blessing for good luck. I hope you have a great time here and enjoy your stay with us.
