CharacterS, plural, meme

Found this in 
atomicstoney's journal archive and thought someone needed to continue the chain.
1. How do you generally design your characters?
Most of my characters came about because I needed someone to be in a picture I wanted to draw, and none of my existing chars fit.
2. How did you decide on your fursona's species?
While Fire isn't exactly a fursona as such, he popped into my mind in world civ class when the prof gave us handouts on the Chinese Zodiac's Cycle of Sixty. Turned out I have the Tiger as my animal sign and Fire as my elemental (you know, those things that when they come together they make Captain Planet or something). I'd had the name Firehazard in the back of my mind for a few days at that point, so I ripped off the Firefox logo and sketched out the first designs for Firehazard that very same period.
3. What are your 5 favorite species?
Civets, raccoons, dogs, cats, and tigers, I think.
4. Ok, ok, you can extend it to 10.
Wolfffffs, citras (YA RLY SHUT UP), skunks, um... I'm trying to think of what would be on the must-see list on a trip to the zoo... penguins and red pandas.
5. Have you made characters out of all of these?
All except the red panda, actually.
6. Most violent character?
Well Gamma is definitely the most deadly, but I think Autumn is more of a powder keg. I always think of her when I hear "FTK" by Vagiant. Not performing the song; actually burning down the bar in it.
7. Happiest or Nicest character?
Splotch is pretty happy-go-lucky. Summer comes off the same way, but as a pop star she's had to put up with a lot of crap. So she's kind of jaded, actually.
8. Your most personally significant character?
Pfffffh. I don't do serious.
9. Sluttiest character?
I would say this is Autumn again. I could see Cheyenne in nude pinups but Autumn is the only one I could picture being in a yiff pic. By someone other than me, mind you.
10. ‘Unsluttiest’ character?
Most of my characters are "unslutty," but Gamma would actually tear someone a new one for coming on to her.
11. ‘Stereotypic’ male?
If you mean "tough guy", then Warmongerel, who I created a while back but never actually drew. If we're talking about the kind of male stereotype you tend to see on sitcoms though, Denny Frith for sure.
12. ‘Stereotypic’ female?
Summer's probably the closest to this.
13. Tomboy?
Everyone else? Ha ha, but Gamma's definitely the least feminine of any of them.
14. Girlyboi?
None.
15. Androgynous/genderless?
Not literally, though Splotch is pretty gender-arbitrary.
16. Fastest character?
That's awfully random. There was this one Sonic parody character I created once upon a time, Hyper the Cheetah. He'd definitely qualify.
17. Most muscular?
Warmongerel again.
18. Thinnest character?
It's a tossup whether Cheyenne or Summer has the best "bikini bod." But Steve Civett's a pretty scrawny fellow too.
19. Chubbiest/heaviest character?
Splotch has the 'toon pudge. ^.^
20. Deformed character?
*cough* No.
21. Most fun to draw?
Mandy! Had to put her in here somewhere. She's got this zany, '90s toon style to her that's really fun and expressive.
22. Any Mary Sues/Gary Stus?
Like for fan fic? Naw, never touch the stuff.
23. Draw pr0n?
Naw. Did this one funny pic for Mazz once, but I never reposted it because it only makes sense if you know the inside joke that spawned it.
24. Draw one gender more than another?
Heh, guilty. As Slappy Squirrel might say, "You remind me of a much younger Eric Schwartz."
25. Stuff you don’t like to draw?
Commissions where people don't give any specifications other than who to draw, so I have to try and come up with something interesting using characters I know nothing about. Fortunately I have strict rules against that now.
26. Stuff you love to draw?
Stuff with a lot of action, a story behind it, a lot of little details. But since I'm uncreative, I don't come up with many of those.
27. Species you see mostly in the fandom?
Wolffffs.
28. Species you see least?
Bugs. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing (see next point).
29. What do you want to see more of in the fandom?
Creativity. Not to be confused with originality, which is often just uniqueness for uniqueness' sake.
30. Anyone you want to tag?
lilifox and 
kturtle -- and on the off chance that 
cerberus or 
sonderjen reads this, they're welcome to weigh in on this too.

The fact that they have a darker underside than overside. Seriously. No other animal does this, and it messes with my head.
I'm not "unique". I don't really have much desire to be. *shrugs* I never got into the rainbow-puked fur colors or wings or sparkly powers or whatever. I'm just me. And I'm happy that way. ^_^
Should make a red panda character now that you've pointed that out. Maybe a red panda girly boi to kill two birds with one stone. X3
