A little (likely unnecessary) clarification on Tibby :3
11 years ago
Hokay guys, I know only a small handful of you will pretend to care about this, but in light of recent and upcoming events I feel like I should just get it out there anyway, in case I somehow miraculously become less of a shadow in the future.
I just wanted to give you a little it of clarification on my primary character, Tiberius (or Tibby :P). Upon his initial creation, he was originally only supposed to be my persona, just a representative of myself. As such, most of his design aspects were carried over directly from my then-15-year-old self. Tiberius Darkewulf and I were one and the same.
However, as the years have passed, Tibby has developed more and more into his own character. While I still use him as a persona, his character has deviated from myself and nowadays it seems like we're almost two different people entirely. It is true that he will always retain a great similarity to me, but every day it becomes more apparent that we're evolving in different directions.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that Tibby as he is now is no longer an accurate representation of how I now am. I'm not entirely sure what that means just yet, and I don't know if I should keep using him as a persona or if I should forge a new character to succeed him in that position. But for now, and until I decide one way or another, it will have to suffice that there are now two versions or variations of Tiberius. One who exists in the canon of my little in-progress fictional universe and is for all intents and purposes his own distinct character, having no real connection to me, and a metaverse Tibby that only exists when I need to portray myself in a furry manner, with no relation to the canon in-universe character. Canon Tibby will continue to live his own life outside of my own, and will evolve as necessary along the way. It is THIS Tibby that (spoiler alert) ends up together with Eve, starts a family, and all that other jazz that normal people do in these kinds of stories.
In short, there are now two Tibbies: canon and non-canon. Non-Canon Tibby is basically me, while Canon Tibby is not. Sorry for the Wall-O-Text™.

It's one of those "he is but at the same time he isn't" situations. Chances are, 98% of the time you see him it will be the character, not the me.
