Title: What am I
Post by: knifguh on March 24, 2007, 04:31:08 pm
Since I've joined the fandom,
I have yet to create a true fursonality. The main reason being, I didn't know what I was. I did know I wanted some sort of big cat breed, but I had no idea which one. Ive been considering a leopard, jaguar, or cheetah. But not that i'm making a jag for a friend, i decided. I don't really want spots, I'd really rather have stripes. I was just looking at the different breeds of tigers, and I just want to be a plain old tiger. It seemed too simple at first, its not a Siberian tiger, or anything like that. But I realized there's nothing "simple about a simple tiger. After i finish Roshan's  jag, im going to get to work on my tiger.

anyhow eppifinays are fun, just wanted to share with ya'll...

Everybody eats fennecs. So keep your jogging shoes on.

Nobody would eat a tiger though...it would be like munching on Tigger.  :dead:

and I just want to be a plain old tiger.

Be aware though, there is no such thing as a "plain old tiger". There are 9 species. 3 are extinct.
Bengal is probably what you mean then, as it has the highest population of the 5 other remaining species, of 3000-4000 living in the wild.

Bengal is what is seen most often in Zoos and parks.

Chances are I'll get an IM from him in the morning asking me which tiger he should be  :p

Well As for picking a fursona, go with you. Fursona is more of will than way. In other words you don't chose it. It pretty much will chose you.

Oh If you foxes are scard then stick by Reynart. =^.^= If you have ever read the "deluctable history of Reynart the fox"
Then you would know what Reynart does to Isegrim (the wolf)  ;)

Well, it's whatever you want it to be really. You don't have to pick any certain thing, or base it off your personality, or looks, or anything like that. It's just what you want.

A tiger sounds neat, but as Streak said you might want to specify on the species. =3

well, that much I'm still working on. By a "simple" tiger i was referring to the fact that U'm not a white, Siberian, og some kind of mix breed! I'm the kinda orange tiger people don't see as special! Thats fine with me!

knifguh, sorry for the threadjack.  I'll go away now and try to avoid being eaten somewhere else.

But for your point, you don't have to be a specific breed--it's all preference as to how realistic you try to be about the fursona.  I'd say don't add details until you're sure you want them.  Some people don't know much more than they have fur!

*eats everything in this thread*

It's good to hear that you've discovered what your fursona will be :)  It is not an easy task to decide which animal to pick from all the animals or endless combinations of animals that you can choose from.   Definitely nothin' wrong with being a normal orange tiger!

*fainted a while ago from all the big carnivores around talking about eating the little'uns* z_z *twitches on the floor next to brave Reynart* ;p

Yeah, in my opinion the most important (and even the most fun) part of deciding a fursona is developing that personality and characteristics of it, which is usually a gradual thing that changes over time just like any person. I personally prefer a fursona that doesn't stand out physically (ie, a plain brown little fennec fox) so I can focus more on personality and characteristics. (and because I'd never be able to decide on designs and shape if I decided to get interesting with the physique. ^^; )

But that's just me. I suppose what it comes down to is why you are even in the fandom and what matters in a fursona to you. I love creating the character and roleplaying it and interacting it (as you've all noticed by me hijacking threads--sorry! ><; )--others simply like drawing interesting anthros, others like making costumes and going to conventions, and still others are in it for the porn. >_< So what's important to you? Don't get fenced in by anyone else's opinions; variety is the heart of the fandom. ;D

*comes in to find out what all the fuss is*

Too true Vulpes, variety is at  the heart of the fandom. I just sometimes find it tiresome with the ones in it for less then innocent reasons being the ones that are painting the picture of us to the rest of the world.

I try to split the physical aspects and the personality of the fursona fairly evenly, as I don't like to stand out in a crowd but I don't like to compleatly blend in either.

You couldn't be more right!  It's the variety that makes the Fandom unique in its own respect!  Most hobbies revolve around a common theme, and while the fandom does so, the variety within the fandom itself is amazing!

Furries can be so alike, and yet, so different all at once!  :D

I love the fandom for that reason, takling to one of you is never the same as talking to the person next to you. I've been around to many groups where people issist on have to be identical in evey aspect imaginable. Its real nice to see all of your fursona, imo there way more real that "real" people. As far as thread jacking, i love it. I'm here to have fun, not worrie about weather what im talking about directly relates to the thred topic, thats no fun at all!!

  i love you guys keep it up!! ;)

Wow, what a flashback..
I just though I would see if furtopia still exists today, and sure enough it does..
I managed to guess my login info on the first try.

Lets see, it seems like I started this back in 2007, and by the looks of it, I had just found the furry fandom, and had yet to decide who I was.

14 years later, I still dunno who I am..

In these years, I have..
Found and married the love of my life (Tyger on here)
Had many jobs..
Owned many cars..
I went to school and studied photography and fine art
I have a house
Started my own photography business


I've been recently a little depressed about how things are going right now in my life.
I recently injured my Achilles tendon at work. The employer committed some fraud to save himself money, it caused my workers compensation claim to be denied, I also lost my job.
Now I'm left with an injury that takes many months to heal, very tight on money trying to pay bills, struggling to find a new job that will hire me with my current injury.

Finding this forum has given me a little perspective though. I may be a little low on funds, it may not be easy finding a job in the current market, and it may be months before I can walk normal, run or jump again.
But, looking back at where I was in 2007, and EVERYTHING I have achieved since then. I know, I've been in worse spots before, faced bigger challenges in the past, and I'm still standing today (admittedly with a cane)

I dunno why I explained all this, I doubt many of the people I used to talk to here are still around.

I'm ready to forgive myself and move on, optimistic that my future still have a lot of fun and exciting achievements to accomplish.


Oh, and since it took so long to decide, I should explain WHO I am!
I'm PsycoTyger (present day name)
I'm an anthro, male, gay, Tiger
I am currently 33 years old
I live in Apache Junction Arizona with my mate and husband FoxyTyger (tyger on ft)
I am a professional photographer
an Automotive enthusiast and mechanic
an FAA certified Drone pilot
and I am still proud to be a furry!

 I'm glad you found this place again and posted!
Of course  we never met.  But reading this is interesting and helps me get some perspective too.

I'm glad you have made a success of yourself,  and realize this is a little bump in the road. 
I'm so glad after 14 years you are still proud to be a furry!

Amazing furtopia is still going,  huh? If it weren't for dedicated efforts of a few good furs,  places like this might not have every existed, much less lasted! Strange to think of how things could have turned out if not for furtopia.  How many found friends or mates here?
