Fursona survey
12 years ago
General
What made you choose the species of your main fursona?
It wasn't so much of a "choice" as a realization - I am, simply, reptilian. In both 'physiology' and physiology, the animal closest to my existence is a snake and I discovered this after my Burmese python, Montie, came into my life. After all the pets I had in my life, Montie was as close to a soulmate as any animal could come.
As for the species mix, that was also a realization and not a choice. The look, as well, unattractive as a few may think of it, is beautiful to me because it represents, and it built upon, the possible - the physical look is strictly based on what may be possible if these two disparate species came together as a crossbreed. Aesthetics, surprisingly, had nothing to do with the look so, in that, I find it quite beautiful - a face only a mother could love.
Is your fursona just like you, or how you want to be?
Like me precisely. I guess you can say I took a long time getting here and I'm OK with being how I am; after a long spell, I am comfortable with myself. I am not sure what I would "want to be" if given a chance - how can you know what the future will bring?
Does your fursona have the same personality you have?
Yes, because I am him and he is me. There is no 'fursona', it is simply me allowing how I physically see myself in my mind's eye to be viewed by others.
Does your fursona have the same dislikes and likes as you do?
Yes and yes. We both try our best to be mellow - drama is for you mammals
Is your fursona the same gender as you, if not why?
Same gender.
Do you have more then one main fursona?
No.
Do you have a back story for your fursona, if so does it have anything to do with your own history?
Yes, and yes. Very very much, yes. Oh, you have no idea, yes.
Is your fursona mated, if so is it to your real life significant other?
Yes, I am mated to my IRL bunnyhamster,
chocolatemuscle :duck and cover:
If not are they looking for a mate, or are they a swinger so to speak?
Mated but we enjoy other people's company whenever we can Apply within.
Is there something special about your fursona that you think sets them apart from others?
Not really, I am what I am.. The physical attributes may be distinct but I don't see [my]self as very different. Somewhat 'colorful', read people have a habit of calling me a bit 'freakish' because of my varied interests and raunchy kinky tastes, OK, but not really different.
Do you have much art of your main fursona/s?
Eh? I would guess so, after a fashion. I don't use art to help me identify with my fursona so any art in our lives is strictly for pleasure and not a required part of the connection.
Would you ever consider parting with your main fursona, if so why?
No, no way. My "fursona" is much more than simply an attribute I apply to myself, it is actually made up of the 2 parts of me that truly exist. I could no more separate myself from how I see myself than I could split those two parts up. Years ago, when I discovered him, I may have considered seeking assistance of some sort but now I am happily integrated and live a typically quiet reptilian life. I have acknowledged this fursona for 23 years now and he, and I, aren't going anywhere.
If you suit, do you have a suit of your main fursona?
Yes, I have a suit, just started last year. The ability to recreate myself, that is how I see myself IRL and how to represent those physical attributes to other people, is still a work in progrees. Read: I am for hyper-realism and the closer I can get to precisely matching my mind's eye to my fursona's IRL look (suit), the happier I'll be.
Have you ever roleplayed with your main fursona, or do you prefer not to?
Hmmm. I would have said "no" to "have you ever roleplayed" but upon thought, yes, yes I have Usually I would say I'm not good in roleplay - again, I am what I am and not very good at lying or deceiving people, that is just not my way - but I'd give that another try sometime.
Do you consider your main fursona to be a part of you in any way?
He is very much me, so much so that I often look at the world through his eyes and friends around me know that I have a habit of referring to 'humans' and 'mammals' in the third-person.

FA+

I must admit, your character/your reptilian self was someone I wasn't used to. I'm used to fur-types. But I'd like to think I'm pretty open-minded, and I rather like your suit, as much as I'm still getting used to the look.
Also, bunnyhamster? I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO gonna make fun of your hubby for DAYS with that one lol!!!
