Sooner or later people are going to get tired of me doing these things... But I like them. They're fun to do and allow people to get a better idea of who I am and what I stand for.


1a. What is your character's name?
D.O.P.R

1b. Your character's height & weight?
approx. 30ft from snout to tail with my wingspan being slightly longer tip-to-tip. As for weight; find me a scale big enough and we'll find out.

2a. What kind of character is he (furry, anime, etc) and any particular race?
The Common (or 'Greater') Earth Dragon, Draco Rex Cristatus

2b. Your Character's Job (what do they do) ?
He's an artist, spending most of his time working on various projects such as writting short stories and drawing pics for his friends.

3. What is the first thing your character would think of when he first wakes up?
"How did that dream go?"

4. Your character's favorite outfit would be?
One of the benefits of being a Dragon is that all my 'bits' are internal. I have neither the need, nor the desire to wear clothing. The few adornments I do wear are a ring on my left index finger and another hanging from a chain around my neck.

5. When your character looks into a mirror, what's the first thing they would notice?
"Are my scales shiny?" This isn't so much vanity as it is a determiner of health. Dull, shine-less scales are the first indicator of poor health.

6. Does your character have the same tastes in food as you?
For the most part, although he has more of a penchant for wine then I do.

7. How is your character similar to you?
There are no physical similarities, but he shares pretty much all my opinions although with better judgment and temperance.

8. How is he different?
Well for starters, he's a freakin' huge DRAGON! D.O.P.R the Dragon is really just the image I put onto my otherwise faceless online persona, but as an entity unto himself, he's much wiser, much more fairspoken and much happier with himself and his environment. Basicly, he's everything I try to be, but am not.


9. If your character could speak, would they have the same voice as you?
No, Dragons are blessed with very mellifluous voices and have an impeccable sence of diction. It has been well-recorded that a Dragon's voice can captivate those are are unwary, I belive this to be true.

10. If you were to suddenly become your character, what do you think would be the first thing you would do as them?
Fly.

11. Is there something about your character that you don't like how others think of them?
He's often shown as more playful and more carefree then I think he really is. He's lighthearted and does indeed play, but most of the time he is rather reserved and contemplative. Also (and this is mainly my fault) he is shown as being much, much more sexual then I think he really is, or would want to be.

12. What advantages does your character have over you?
Quite a few actually. THe main one is his wisdom. This itself doesn't bring happiness, but it brings understanding and, to some extent, contentment.

13. What disadvantages?
He's much bigger, so he has trouble getting into certain places. He's also a Dragon and has to deal with the various prejudiceses and 'remedies' which are associated with Dragons.

14. Do you have any secrets relating to your character that only you know?
The meaning behind the acronym. Techincly there is one other who knows the full version and it is for her sake that it is kept secret. She is the only one who can fill the other half.

15. Do you have any secret drawings only you know about?
A few sketches. There is one other that was done as a commission a long while ago that I pray is forgotton/destroyed.

16. Do you have any plans for your character or are you working on something big relating to him?
Not really. I've thought of giving him a feathery/furry mane, but that's about it.

17. What misconception(s), if any, do people have about your character?
D.O.P.R, as an idividual entity, does not yiff. I do since D.O.P.R is the character I portray, but D.O.P.R himself has already given his love to someone and will not lay with anyone else. Period. He's also straight, wereas I am Bi.

18. If you could have just ONE characteristic from your character, what would it be?
His tempermant. He's level-headed and wise, much apart from me.

19. Have you made any characters that go along with yours, based on real-life people, that have the same relationship with your character as you with the real-life person?
No, all the characters I've drawn him with were created by others.

20. Have you written any stories about your character?
He made a brief appearance in a short I wrote for the forumites on the 'Jack' webcomic forums, but nothing featuring him as a main character.

21. How has your character changed since his/her first creation?
A lot. He, as I imagine him as an individual entity, hasn't changed, but I have been a dreadfully poor steward of his name. I havn't been holding very well to the ideals which he prizes and have twisted him into something almost unreckognizable from what he started out to be.

22. Give us a one-liner from him.
"Were it not for the laziness of my arms, the path, such as it is, would not have been."

23. What's something people would be surprised to learn about your character?
He himself, is totally straight. He's not against Bi or gay in anyway, nor does he oppose it in any fashion, he just doesn't practice it himself.

24. If you met your character in real life, what would you do with him?
I would want to talk with him. I would lay against his mighty, barrel-chest and we would talk. After that, he could set me upon his back and fly me somewere.

25. If you could have surgery to genetically make you resemble your character IRL - would you ?
That would be some surgery... But yes, if it made me just as I imagine him, I would.

Ok, now you try.

D.O.P.R
