Idea that won't shut up.
14 years ago
I have no idea why this idea won't shut up. Usually the urge to write something down lasts a day or two at most these days with life going as it is. But since it won't stop nagging me, I may as well put it down.
Many people have several fursonas. Fen has his combined at the moment, but is effectively a bull and a wolf, for instance. I still don't claim to associate with any animal, but recently I decided to dick around in Allods again before the massive amount of updates took well into the next morning and the urge passed into oblivion like so many other things these days.
On the other hand, the Gibberlings provided a thought. I guess you can say a very lazy thought. Making a triplicate persona for myself. Sky the Body, Sky the Mind, and Sky the Heart. Easy to make a human as well, which makes it attractive.
Sky the Body is kind of the side that doesn't get out much. Given that I'm a skinny little guy about as imposing as Steve from the old Dell commercials, I can't really claim to be "alpha," and in general I tend to stifle this side as soon as it starts talking. But it's a side that needs to be acknowledged. The side that puts me on the dominant end of things, that enjoys things like bondage pics looking down on a victim when I really feel I shouldn't, that makes me file away a domination pic under the sub's species. He's the red one, since a red aura represents things like power and passion.
Sky the Mind is my deeper, more intellectual side, which sees a lot more action. This is the one that's all about information, who generally ends up in arguments he can't win because he fails to accept he's not dealing with rational people, and the one that generally feels like crap about himself because of the kinds of reputation he tends to earn as "the guy that hates X" or otherwise being the omega wolf because he's easy to goad and tear apart. His color is black. Black in an aura color is seriously unhealthy, either physically if it's in a spot over the body, or in personality if it's global. Not something you ever want to see in an aura either way, but this side of me has at times gotten me into such lousy situations that I have gotten physically ill or depressed from the stress. Otherwise, it's easier to remember than indigo, which is a highly mental color associated with intuition and perception, and purple, which is associated with creativity and wisdom.
Sky the Heart generally walks hand in hand with Sky the Mind and is a good deal of the cause of the trouble. He assumes the best in people sometimes long after he probably should, loves to help, and is generally enthusiastic. While not a "white knight," he is very much a "healer," always ready to listen and help calmly. These are traits embodied by a turquoise aura, which is his color.
I guess you can say all three are fairly equal, but Mind and Heart are more public. Heart is generally what wins people over, while Mind tends to be what I need to regulate to keep from earning yet another reputation. Body is kept away from people by Heart mostly.
I have no idea if I'll draw up some Gibberlings, or even just go into Allods and throw something together. I don't even really know if I'll modify what I have in pixels for the human silhouette I have done up. This is probably the most open I've been on here and with that comes the danger that I'll get found out and potentially have some explaining to do.
You may notice these are also roughly the colors in my avatar. Didn't really plan on it (much), but it works out well. Also, they're colors Gibberlings use just to make life simpler if I go that route. I dunno. I never said it was a completed idea, just one that won't shut up.
Just an update, but I did this for my new profile ID (linking it for future reference should it change again): http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7057727/ There's more explanation in there.
UPDATE:
I guess another idea to add onto the pile. This one kind of gelled a bit when writing the description of the three avatars, but really, why not just give them powers outright? Psi power for Mind, healing for Heart, and speed for Body. Strength would be the obvious idea, but really, I'm faster than I am strong and super strength has some unfortunate implications. Of course that's assuming it's "super" (which is liable to end you up as a puddle of flesh and powdered bones) and not just "enhanced."
I supposed enhanced strength and speed could work. These guys are better off with more minor abilities. I don't really intend for them to be superheroes, but maybe they can be everyday heroes who do little things and can still have normal lives. Lift a car in a time of need, but throwing it is another matter.
I'll have to work out the power balance and if there's anything I'd like to add. Also what powers of the psychic range Mind should get. There's a helluva lot to choose from.

Also, I have no idea why they bother forcing you to name all three of your trio. You only ever see one name. It's not like all three hover above their heads or they have an ability to split up (although playing three-way split-screen would be HELLA awesome for tactical people like myself). I considered making another Seer (again, love the tactical stuff), but unless one of those million updates fixed how woefully underpowered and poorly-equipped they are (they seriously need access to better weaponry), it's Animist for now.
