Should My Fursona Be Commander Shepard?
12 years ago
I have been doing some thinking today about whether or not my fursona should carry on being based off commander Shepard from Mass Effect.
I really love the games and love the idea of my fursona being like Shepard but one of the great things about being a furry is making this unique fursona in your image or what you want to be, personally mine wants to be like Shepard but when I think about it, their is no originality in the idea, I am just basing my character of someone else s story and instead I think I should be focusing on my own idea and back story.
This way I can write my own stories etc, and I'm not trying to be someone else, instead I'm being my own person, when I first joined the fandom I had a couple of different fursona changes from a raptor to a dracorex then I decided to be a German shepherd, I have to admit though, I am really into my reptiles but then again I do like German shepherds.
So what do people think, should I carry on being Commander Tane Shepard the German Shepherd or should I remake my fursona and if so what species do you think would suit me best?
I will decide for myself in the end what I do, I just wanted to get a bit of feedback

Silly pun aside, the fun thing about Shepard is that the character is such a blank canvas. Pretty much everything about him is left up to the player's imagination, so there's really no set story that you're basing the character off of. I'd say stay as you are, work with what you have, and create the kind of character that you want within that.

I personally prefer having a fursona that reflects myself more, but you should do what you want and not worry about having a completely original design! If you feel Shepard doesn't really reflect what you want then feel free to change, but equallym as other people have already suggested, Shepard is a character you can mould to be your own.

As extra "my opinion" input to, I can't imagine you as species other an a shepard, but thats because thats all I've known you as, and there's no reason why you shouldn't be what you want! ^^ Or why you couldn't be a shepard, but not commander Shepard if that makes sense?

Thanks for all the input, I will have to decide what to do
