If I had to pick a new Fursona
11 years ago
I've been thinking about this since work, not saying it's happening, just a hypothetical.
Ivan is a good representation of me, he's loyal, giving, happy, can be a tad mischievous, and loves to dress up. He's evolved with me throughout the years and though I've changed his tendencies a bit, he's still pretty much the same character I created more than 10 years ago.
However as a think about it there is actually another character in my roster that sorta fits me better than Ivan.
Kree.
Now firstly, sure I'm not a girl, but that isn't exactly a personality trait. I were to swap genitals right this second, just magically POOF into the other gender, the only thing that would've changed about me would be the gender. And I don't exactly draw Kree in adult situations often, so she's more of a attitude character.
Kree has more in common with my real life self than Ivan, Ivan being someone I kinda wish to be, while Kree is how I am currently. Though I usually draw her in a sour mood or looking Grumpy, that's how people view me in reality, despite how I'm actually feeling my default face always leaves people thinking I'm upset about something. I'm usually not, it just looks like I am. Kree's kinda the same, her default face is that of either bored or grumpy, but may not actually reflect her current mood.
Ivan likes to pal around with tons of people while Kree prefers to only hang out with her close friends. Kree doesn't like to admit what turns her on sexually, Ivan doesn't mind at all. Despite this I never draw Ivan doing sexual things and I do draw Kree doing sexual things. On that note Kree strongly prefers masturbation to regular sex, feeling she has more control over it and she doesn't need to wait for anyone, I'm the same way. Ivan is a Pred Only character, while Kree goes both ways, though due to her size seeing her as a pred is very rare. This would be good for me as I do like both kinds of Vore, but because I despise Ivan getting eaten I'm limited. Sorta why I started including EyeofCalamity as a prey mouse, but I don't do often as I don't really like the idea of him as a mouse.
And like I said she's not an over the top sexual character like BeeBee is. What she does, she does in private. She's not open about it to strangers, only friends, and she tries not to let it run her life, and it doesn't. Even though I've never drawn it, she has a normal life that has no vorish influence, aside from being a Dentist.
I can get into a bad mood sometimes and yell, which is totally out of character for Ivan, but not for Kree.
Just wanted to say this.. I don't know why.. The odds of me ever actually changing and using her as a new sona are really slim, simply for the little fact that she is a girl. That and everyone would have to stop calling me Ivan and start calling me Kree, lol... That'd never happen.
However if I did decide to use her the first thing that would change is I'd give her a size boost to be about the same size as Ivan.. Other than that though, nothing would really change, I'd still eat the same people daily, but probably be open to the idea of being eaten also.

Personality and preferences are equal.
I have heard about a couple friends changing theirs over time to another to better suit them and their needs, though I can probably count them on one paw.
Kree's always been my fave of your chars X3c
You are whoever you chose to be, and I support you all the way with whoever you DO feel the most resemblance to. :3
Do let me know whatever you decide to do~ :3c
But yeah. I know the feeling. Humbug was made specifically to represent me, but lately he's become kind of his own thing, and I've developed to be more like Samantha. Not changing -to- Samantha because I don't particularly want to be called that, since I still identify as male. Same thing with you and Kree, it appears.
But yeah. Fun thing to muse over, regardless. :)
That'd be bizzare.
Also I wouldn't mind being identified as female, since for a little while when I first joined the dA's I did get mixed up a lot. It's just on websites like this, when you say you're a girl, people tend to treat you differently.
And right. That's my problem with being identified as a female as well: People seem to view 'em as this sort of mystical creature, and there's less respect as well. I've been called a cunt a couple times on my SamanthaWeltzin accounts (here and DA), and it feels really weird.
.. It is kind of fascinating how characters grow to be, or often were, facets of your personality.
Also yeah being called a cunt would be weird. It reminds me of a bully in highschool that was spectacularly awful (by which I mean he was really, really crap at being a bully, not that he caused me an awful time) that once called me... a lesbian.
Also? That bully was amazing. :D
"Lesbian? Why yes. Yes I am. I do like women."
He would also try to do the whole "offer to shake hands THEN SQUEEZE REALLY HARD" thing without. Uh. Being able to actually squeeze that hard. So you'd stand there awkwardly as he was trying to grab your hand with both hands and squeeze and... yeah. XD
Oh yes, I've seen this a lot.
It's important for us to do that kind of self reflecting.
and i must agree to many points
Up until a year ago I considered myself as a wolf. You can ask any of my friends or those who I have worked with; I have the pack mentality. I'm loyal, trustworthy and I work best as part of a team. I will protect and provide for my pack until the day that I die. But over all the wolf didn't fit because one main aspect...
I found Trancy Mick and her sergals. Like wolves they are loyal, trustworthy and are team members, but they go deeper. Sergals operate under an honor code and under faith in their purpose, leadership and instincts, but unlike wolves they will sometimes question what they are doing if it doesn't make sense or will cost unnecessary loss of life. Even though they operate well on a team, they can also operate just as well independently.
Out of my pack it was only my father and I chose to go straight to the military after high school. He enlisted in the US Navy while I went to the United States Army. I am also the fourth consecutive generation of my family to serve in the military, so you can call it tradition. Through Mick's words, I have an understanding that they have a strong belief in tradition.
The endgame message I'm trying to relay is that do what you feel is best no matter what someone else might think or say. They might start calling me a war monger for declaring that my family has always had a history in the military even back to the Civil War. Sergals fit be best and I'm not changing until I find something better.
Víctor was made as a representation of myself, personality wise. Sadly I committed the huge mistake of making him perfectly "good" and sweet to everybody. Mostly due to the fact that I felt I was good and nice, and I like to be the "good guy". But that immediately sided me to only one corner. In the moment I draw Victor (or by extension any kind of art) showing something more evil, I get people complaining that im not being as good as they thought in their minds I am.
And it flies to everything. From the Pokémon comic (with people unhappy against the "grim" and tha partially fatal side of it), to the underage vore thing.
Leaving aside the fact that I know you hate child vore, I like it a lot, and a lot of people have gotten very angry when I've tried to make it/draw it, because it looks so "out of character".
I started to draw a comic (that I plan to finish sometimes soon) telling all my struggle and problems related to that. We'll see how it goes.
And this is, of course, sightly related to my position in vore. I am mainly a pred, and I am known for that. I like to be prey, a lot, but I am very picky with who/what can eat me to feel comfortable. Sadly, focusing in one side, have made the other side so weak that people freaks out when I tried to pick it. I have planned to draw myself doing evil deeds but probably the only result I'll have is making people even more confused instead of showing that I'm not a "perfectly good non jerk" character.
I like to be a good guy. But I hate to be enclosed into it. And that bothers me a lot.
But remember, if you like something, you can bet somebody else does too. There's a lot of us who like things eviller, and might even be put off by the preds always being good and nothing grim or fatal ever happening! There's just no way you can make everyone happy, so you should try to make yourself happy, and you'll find that the people who become your frequent followers will be people who like the same things as you.
Just my 2 cents anyway!
Its almost the same with me. Swift is mostly a character I wish to be but with most things we are really different but overall I'm perfectly happy as Swift.
Can't help you with that one but if you feel uncomfortable you should try it out as Kree. Maybe just for a few month to see if you miss Ivan as yourself.
You won't lose Ivan neither Kree no matter what happens.
Clara might have some soul exchange potions to try out x3

goddamn
I approve of this :3
If you need a change, be super awesome Kree for a bit and if you don't feel it a good fit you can easily go back to Ivan!
Either way you shall still be you and have all your awesome friends!
This sounds more like you never really wanted to kill of Kree in the first place and now that fact is just making you want to make this character more and more alive by putting your own emotions into it.
Not...a bad thing.
I have trouble getting rid of characters myself. I've gone through so many fursona changes it's...weird.
The thing I did, though, was rather than completely get rid of them, I made new characters out of them, each one representing the part of me I was at the time...when I created that particular character.
I haven't seen anything in your posts about her truly coming back from the dead.
Just make it a thing and you'll feel alright about it.
Generally all my characters have stuff in common with me, Kree just has the most.
I'm not really open to the idea of changing Sonas, especially considering I currently have 6. But I'm going through a weird rush of emotions lately.. Maybe it's just a phase.. And I'll be over it and back to normal soon..
