Should I make a character?

You know, I've had this daydream reoccuring to me so much for the past few weeks. I've been even daydreaming during work hours...and I've burned myself with scalding hot soups as a result...hurts just to move my fingers. Got 2nd degree burns all over my hands. Anyway, my daydream is always centered around one character, and as you may have guessed, a sergal character. A very unique sergal character. I've considering the possibility of making this sergal character sort of like my fursona. I mean, not my fursona, but like a character that I will be using very often. I'm planning on writing a couple stories, since I can't seem to get these multiple daydreams out of my head.
This character of mine is going to be unique in some respects. I mean, everyone's sergal character is unique in everyway. But I have yet to see another sergal character like the one I'm thinking of. This sergal is pure albino, and it is a female. Snow white fur, pink claws, and beautifully piercing blue, almost icy blue eyes, although they will appear red when looked at from a certain angle. She is 100% pure albino. Her name, is Khione(the greek God of Snow). At birth, she was taken from her mother by humans(the stories she will be in are all on the planet of my dreams, Aridas, where humans and sergals have been at war for thousands of years). The man who took her at birth, raised and trained her like a dog, as a dog owner would raise and train their puppy. She has been in the mans family for almost 15 years. She behaves like a dog, and walks like a dog. The man believes that he has successfully turned a sergal(humans see sergals as savage beasts that kill out of pleasure) into a dog, but unknown to him, she has been thinking not like a dog, but as a sergal would think...of escaping back to her own kind.
Well, that's the basic background and stuff about the character I have been daydreaming about. So, should I make her my character? Should I really go with my gut and type up the daydream I've been having?

I'm not saying you're lying, but dude, seriously. I'm just writing about my own albino sergal character, and the world she lives on. So what if I see the sergal world in a different way? So what if I've created a world that you feel goes against ALL principles of the sergal species? I'm just a beginning writer, for cryin' outloud. I'm not the only one that's created different worlds for my sergal character. There are many other writers like me that are using mick's species, and setting them into different situations and worlds that the writers themselves see fits their sergal characters personalities. What is your problem with my albino sergal character? What do you have against the fact that MY sergal character behaves like a dog and that she is treated like a family pet by her human owners, and what do you have against the sergal species in my dreams living on another planet other than Vilous? Is that infringing on anything you believe? Am I forcing anything on you, to accept this as a fact about ever sergal character ever concieved in the furry fandom? Does any of this involve you or your sergal character(if you have one)? Does my story about my sergal character, and the world she lives on, shatter all principles of the established species that mick created, and replace them with the principles of my sergal world? What is it that you see so totally wrong, so completely freakish, so inverse about my sergal character and my story? What's wrong with a little creativity? Why is it that you want me to see things about sergals the way you see them, the things you have come to accept them by, to be familiar? What have I done to you to make you feel so violated by my imagination? What have I done to you to cause you to try and force upon me the true accepted facts about sergals, to force me to believe that those facts can never be changed by anyone else, except mick? Hm? I'm a writer, I asked to use mick's species in my writings, and I have put my sergal character in a different situation than the one mick's character Rain is in? In my story, there is no Rain Silves. In my story, sergals and humans live on the same planet, and they are both at war, and the humans are losing, and on the verge of becoming an endangered species. That's how I see it in my dreams. Every persons sergal story is different. Every persons sergal character is different from others. Every persons sergal world is different, even if they do live on the same planet, in the same universe, and in the same timeline as Rain Silves. That's creativity. So what is your problem with my creativity, and not anyone elses' creativity?
To your long list of questions I answer that I have never felt that any of what you will write will somehow "change" sergals if you wrote it, nor do I feel there is anything wrong with creativity, but here I express distaste in your "creative" choices and feel as though instead of paying tribute to the original work, it does it a disservice just in the bare concepts you have listed above. I don't think creativity is bad in the least, however, not everything created is good.
...Are you stupid or something? You sound like you're saying that I hate sergals. Clearly, since I'm writing a story where sergals are the dominant species, where sergals are winning the war against humans, and where sergals are just the same sergals as in Mick's story, only more intelligent, and more technologically advanced than mick's sergals.
Honestly, I think you start typing the moment you see something you don't like before you read the rest of what was said. Because to me, it sounds like you believe I have reduced the sergal species to nothing but animals. It sounds to me like you're trying to force upon me the notion that the fact that since just ONE, I repeat, just ONE sergal out of an entire population of over 3.7 BILLION sergals living on the planet I've created, behaves like a dog, and walks like a dog, that I am degrading the the sergal species as a whole. Just one, in a whole fucking story full of over 3.7 billion sergals. Did I say that all of the sergals in my story are owned by humans? That all sergals are slaves to humans? The all sergals are nothing but dogs? Hell no. Sergals are magnificent creatures, and I believe that, just like any other sergal fan. But what's your problem with me have my sergal character act like a dog? Hm? What's your fucking problem? What's your problem, with my creativity. And your last comment. That was the dumbest thing I've ever heard. It's true, not EVERYTHING is created perfect, not everything created is beautiful. But it's creativity. You live in a fucking world of creativity. And from what I see, it sounds to me like your trying to tell me that I need to stop being creative. That I have to just stop what I'm doing, NOW. Sounds to me like you're a control-freak. Because the way I'm seeing this conversation, you contradict everything I say, you want to force everything that I've created to the ground, you want me to accept everything that you believe about the sergal race that you are so familiar with. You know what I say? I say that you just need to stop, and think for one fucking minute of your life. Try to see that my creativity, is not your fucking creativity. Just because you don't like everything about my one sergal character out of a whole story of sergals that are just as normal as any other sergal in mick's story, doesn't mean that everyone won't like it. Just because you don't like my creativity, doesn't mean that everyone in the whole goddamn world won't like my creativity. That's what makes us artists and writers so different from each other. It's called diversity. You live in a world full of diversity. No two people are going to have the same exact interests. Everyone is different(and I got that from a troll who trolled me a while back on YouTube). Creativity, it's everywhere. Deal with it. You've got a problem with creativity? A problem with how I create my characters? Deal with it.
