My Fursona (meme)
16 years ago
1 | What is the name of your fursona?
SilverTail - Capital S, capital T, one word. Silver for short.
2 | Where did the name of your Fursona come from?
The first furry MUD I ever connected to (go ask your parents what a MUD is) had a character creation program for new users. I was at a loss for a name, so I looked around the 'room' at the disconnected players for some ideas. People who had come before me had names such as RedTalon, GoldenEyes, and JadeClaws. "So," I said to myself, "I see how this works!" From that point on, my go-to username for furry-related activities was SilverTail.
It's stupid, I know, but I've been using the name for 13 years now and have no intention of changing it.
3 | What species is your fursona and why did you choose that species?
A Grey Wolf / Cougar hybrid. For many years I played only a grey wolf, but a nickname and running gag among my friends eventually led to me creating a fictional species around SilverTail. He remained chiefly wolf, but with a dash of nonspecific feline. These days, I maintain that his bloodline is almost entirely wolf, except that his grandmother on his mother's side was a Mountain Lion. I don't claim to know a damn thing about genetics.
4 | What color is your fursona and why? Hair/fur/eyes/etc.
Silver's fur and markings are pretty much what you'd expect of any other grey wolf, with a few small exceptions. Cerulean eyes, dark brown hair. On either side of his muzzle he's got the 'parentheses' marks of a cougar. The end of his tail is a stark pigmentless white - which is a hearkening back to an atrocious roleplay I had back when Silver was first created, in which his entire coat was actually silver colored. I was 16, sue me.
5 | What is your fursona's personality and how does this compare to your RL personality?
Silver is more or less me, although I like to think he's less of a cynical hateful jaded bastard than I am.
6 | What is one item your fursona owns that is significant to you in RL?
He keeps a gold ring with an inscription. Long story. *awkward cough*
7 | What is one thing you think you would say to your fursona if you could meet?
"So.. your place or mine? Or is right here fine?"
8 | What is one thing your fursona would say to you if you could meet?
"RAPE!! Help! Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaape!!!!"
9 | How has your fursona changed over the years?
Initially, Silver was a quadrupedal talking grey wolf with silver fur. It was stupid. So, a few weeks after his creation, I upgraded him to bipedal through some roleplay shenanigans. He changed minutely over the years until, finally, I made the wolf/cougar hybrid thing 'official' sometime in 2007.
10 | How long have you had this fursona?
SilverTail's my one and only fursona, and I've been in the fandom for 13.5 years.
11 | Would you like to be more like your fursona?
He's my ideal self in mind and body, so yeah. Sign me up.

We tried to get :zero_digits: involved, but there weren't enough shiny graphics, and I kind of embarrassed him his first time in. If you ever want to give it a shot though, I'd be happy to help. ^^
