Character design Meme!

1. How do you generally design your characters? Usually i find a species which i would like to see anthropomorphized and do that myself, thus creating a character. Aa, but then also i sometimes simply decide that i don't have such and such type of character, and purposely make one. I tend to fuss over details like making it a specific, rather than general species, and having a name that fits well rather than making one up.
2. How did you decide on your fursona's species?
cur is to blame for that, i wanted something with orange, black, and white coloration, she suggested clownfish. Since they are protandrous hermaphrodites, it seemed appropriate to yours truly.
3. What are your 5 favorite species? Bats, sharks, hyenas, rays, turtles...
4. Ok, ok, you can extend it to 10. ...as well as slugs, octopi, vultures, quails, pigeons, and many more.
5. Have you made characters out of all of these? Goodness, no. Only bats, rays, hyenas, and turtles so far... i ought to get on that, i suppose <3
6. Most violent character: Toss up, there. Vlad is a monster hunter, Meegan lives off of avian blood (and has no qualms about drinking from certain types of people)... possibly my achaierai Akari, she enjoys fighting for sexual reasons, and has trouble restraining herself once she gets into it.
7. Happiest or Nicest character?: Oddly enough, Meegan probably qualifies for this. Jordan is also very friendly and easy going; none of my characters are really at all standoffish.
8. Your most personally significant character?: My mersona, and Sekani.
9. Sluttiest character?: Possibly Hlelile, my african civet, or Picasso the painted turtle.
10. ‘Unsluttiest’ character? Swarna, my straightedge indian elephant.
11. ‘Stereotypic’ male? : I'm aware of so many stereotypes and nonsensical gender standards, i don't know that i could pin down one for this one....
12. ‘Stereotypic’ female? : Second verse, same as the first.
13. Tomboy?: Swarna, Kary the methane ice worm, Akari....
14. Girlyboi?: Lalit, the musk deer.
15. Androgynous/genderless?: Bilal the enterobacteria phage T4 is entirely sexless and doesn't identify with a particular gender, the rest who mess with gender are more complicated than "genderless': Sekani is biologically female but appears male, Hun is male but has breasts, Kaieneus the clione is hermaphroditic, my mersona is kind of between sexes at the moment....
16. Fastest character?: Again, probably Meegan. She's a great runner... unlike most bats.
17. Most muscular? : Sekani.
18. Thinnest character?: Lalit.
19. Chubbiest/ heaviest character?: Either Jan the dunkleosteus or Swarna, depends whether you're factoring in overall size (Jan's tail adds a lot of mass).
20. Deformed character?: Depends on your definition, i guess? Nmara the lioness has polydactylism, but it's perfectly formed.
21. Most fun to draw? : Can't think of one in particular.
22. Any MarySues?: Sekani's immortality pushes her in this direction, but she tends to dislike having a profound effect on the world.
23. Draw pr0n?: Occasionally. Not as much as i have the urge or imagination to do, oddly.
24. Draw one gender more than another? I draw male-looking characters more because i'm not confident about drawing breasts. I have trouble drawing those kinds of curves.
25. Stuff you don’t like to draw? I hate drawing hands, they're so frustrating.
26. Stuff you love to draw? : Heads, swishy hips.
27. Species you see mostly in the fandom? Foxes, wolves, dogs of indeterminate breed, lions and tigers, horses, rodents, rabbits, dragons.
28. Species you see least?: Dogs of a particular breed, non-dolphin cetaceans, small mammals other than rodents, mythical creatures aside from dragons.
29. What do you want to see more in the fandom? : V-A-R-I-E-T-Y. The furry fandom is as bad as the polytheist community about this, i swear. There, everyone's got a raven or wolf spirit animal, or some other Big Charismatic Animal.
30. Anyone you want to tag?
cur and
