Taken lovingly from 
ECMajor
Basics:
Name: D.O.P.R
Nickname: DOPR
Fursona: Common (or Greater) Earth Dragon. Species Draco Rex Cristatus
Date of Birth: July, 24th
Birthplace: Beatrice, Nebraska
Current Location: Tucson, Arizona
Eye Color: Blue/Blue-Green (as a Dragon, it’s Orange in a “sunburst” pattern)
Hair Color: Dark blonde.
Height: 6ft
Heritage: Irish (paternal) German (maternal)
Piercings: I had a labret (lower lip) but removed it. No plans for any more.
Tattoos: Two – a Utahraptor (as drawn by Dr. Bob Bakker) on my right upper-arm, and the ‘JP’ symbol (from “Jurassic Park”) on my upper left hip (kidney area).
Favorites:
Animal: Dinosaurs – no particular species (it’s too hard to choose).
Band/Singer: “The Jimi Hendrix Experience”, though there are a great deal of other artists who I enjoy just as much – “Cream”, the artists from the “Pickin’ On…” series, “The Beatles” etc…
Song: I don’t think I can really answer that. But I’ll mark down “Ten Years Gone” by Led Zeppelin as a good contender (I prefer the “Black Crowes” cover), as well as “Menu1” by Unknown, “Red” by King Crimson, my own remix of “Furious Angels” by Rob Dougan, “You Can't Always Get What You Want” by The Rolling Stones, “The Diddler” by Ten Percenters, a non-vocal version of “Bittersweet Symphony” by The Verve, and “The Ecstasy of Gold” by Ennio Morricone. There are many others, since I put meaning behind songs that may not relate to the lyrics, and frankly, there are too many songs to list.
Movie: The original “Jurassic Park” and the complete “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy.
Disney Movie: None. Though I enjoy the animation style in a lot of Disney movies, I’m not fond of the puerile nature of some of the films, and the outright rape of classic literature/history in others. That however, is just my opinion.
Disney Show: “Education for Death- The Making of a Nazi” and generally any cartoon starring Donald Duck.
Disney Character: Donald Duck. Though I will say, I have something of an affinity for villains such as Scar, Kaa, and Maleficent.
TV show: “Star Trek” TOS, TNG, “Sonic the Hedgehog” (SatAM), “COPS”/”Wildest Police Videos”, “NOVA”, and pretty much anything on the National Geographic, Discovery or History channel. The Military channel gets a honorable mention as well.
Color: Forest (Pine) Green, though I usually (like so many others) wear mainly black.
Food: Pizza and Ferengi Flatbread. Also, Arby’s roast beef sandwiches, Cheese-it Twists and Cheese of almost any kind (Mozzarella and Sharp Cheddar in particular).
Pizza topping: Pepperoni (with lots of cheese)
Ice-Cream Flavor: Orange Sherbet
Pocky Flavor: I’ve only had the chocolate covered ones.
Drink (alcoholic): Jack Daniels (sparingly)
Soda: Surge. Anyone else remember Surge…?
Cookie: Shortbread.
Store: Best Buy (or any store that sells Dinos and Dragons)
Clothing Brand: None. Brand names aren’t something that I value.
Shoe Brand: See above, though I often get Caterpillars or Wolverines due to the durability I’ve gotten from them in the past.
Season: Spring and Summer.
Month: July
Convention/Holiday/Festival: Anthrocon. My hatchday. Christmas.
Flower: Scarlet Carson rose.
Board game: Yatzee (also known as Kniffel).
This or That:
Sunny or rainy: Sunny. I thrive on sunlight.
Chocolate or vanilla: Chocolate
Fruit or veggie: Fruit.
Night or day: Day, though I tend sleep lat and retire late.
Sour or sweet: Sweet.
Love or money: Love.
Phone or in person: In person.
Looks or personality: Personality. Looks are nice in and of themselves, but ultimately useless.
Coffee or tea: Neither.
Hot or cold: It depends on the season.
Your:
Goal for this year: Be on the way to getting a second vehicle.
Most missed memory: If I “missed” it, doesn’t that mean I lost it?
Best physical feature: I left this question to be answered by my wife, and she said it was my hair.
First thought waking up: What’s the time/how long before I have to get up?
Hypothetical personality disorder: Perhaps a touch of OCD (though I don’t claim to have it)
Preferred type of surgery: I’m not sure how to answer. I hope that I don’t need any kind of surgery. The Lord put me together fairly well, and I trust his judgment…
Sesame street alter ego: Akin to Aloysius Snuffleupagus (though not as fuzzy, and certianly not imaginary).
Fairytale alter ego: The good Dragon on the hilltop.
Most stupid remark: >playing as a red-team member< “Ah, back to the relative safety of…BLUE BASE?! Boy did I get turned around!”
Worst crime: Procrastination.
Greatest ambition: To leave a lasting mark on society. Not necessarily something monumental, but to have left the world a better place by my presence.
Greatest fear: That I’ll die and be forgotten.
Darkest secret: That would be telling.
Favorite subject: Subject #4537

Worst habit: Too much time on the computer.
Do You:
Smoke: No.
Drink: Very rarely.
Curse: More then I should, but I’m trying to eliminate it from my speech again.
Shower daily: Sadly, I’ve lapsed to every other day.
Like thunderstorms: Yes, I’d love to record the sounds of one to have as ambient noise when I’m home.
Dance in the rain: I don't dance, but occasionally I’ll step outside to feel the rain on my face, though generally I avoid getting wet. For me, the most miserable feeling is to be fully clothed, and wet.
Sing: I enjoy singing, though I have no talent for it.
Play an instrument: I took lessons for the trumpet and for the piano, but I lost whatever knowledge I may have learned long ago. Sadly, though I’ve worked for several years in a business that sells and manufactures violins, violas, bass and cellos, I’ve never learned to play one.
Get along with your parents: Very much. I was fortunate to have a good set of parents.

Touch your nose with your tongue: No, but I can put it in a double curl.
Whistle: I remember the day I learned – I was twelve.
Curl your tongue: Very well, even to the point of double curling it.
Have You Ever:
Been Drunk: No, though I have felt slightly “buzzed”.
Been Stoned/High: No.
Eaten Sushi: Only a pinch and never again.
Been in Love: Yes.
Skipped school: Yes, doing art with some friends from high school. By the time we realized we were late, we didn’t bother going to class. I, of course, was caught.
Made prank calls: No, though I’ve had them attempted on me.
Sent someone a love letter: Yes.
Stolen something: Not including pirated music, yes. I’m actually rather ashamed – I stole a ten cent Ring-pop from a corner store when I was nine to try and impress a friend. I told him “It’s easy to steal.” I’ve felt guilty for it ever since.
Cried yourself to sleep: Yes.
Other Questions:
What annoys you most in a person: Injustice, and inflexible people.
Are you right or left handed: Right-handed, but left-eye dominant.
What is your bedtime: I start thinking about bed around ten.

-Z
D.O.P.R
But fortunatly, aside from that, I've been mostly spared.
D.O.P.R
Not even "Dinosaur"? :)
The best I can describe it is that the "Disney magic" that appeals to so many people, is deeply repelling to me; even for Dinosaur. I much prefered the original Land Before Time.
D.O.P.R
*runs away laughing*
Star Trek FTW!
World peace? Thats pretty noble thing for a little guy to ask for. I probably would have wished for a Batman plane.
What vehicle do you have now and which one are you looking to get?
Currently, I have a 1992 Nissan Centra (nicknamed "Honda"). I'd like to get a small truck or station wagon, but any decently-repaired vehicle will do. Ideally something that we could use to go to Pheonix and back with and not have to worry about the tires goind out or the engine overheating.
D.O.P.R
Nice mix. XD
I'm less sure of the history on my mother's side. From what I was told, they came over from Germany with another family sometime around the late 1850s and were one of the two families which help found Beatrice, NE (coincidentily, my hometown).
Because of the (still) primarily German makeup of the town, (and the lack of men at the time) during the second World War, Nazi POWs were sent to help work on the farm.
I love researching my family history, and have accumulated numerous stories and have collected most of the family photos, which I struggle to put in order and lable.
