Those who have known me for an extended period of time will know I'm notorious for one thing - changing species. Not in the sense of for one roleplay, but for one whole (or nearly whole) year.

This annoys people, at least until they get used to it. But little do people know that it is actually part of the character design. Yes, it's a bit stolen from Doctor Who, but whatever, every year the character starts dying a little, upon which point when it must regenerate into another species in order to remain alive.

In reality, the character only dies in the sense that I get bored of roleplaying and drawing it, and I start getting the jeebies to try out another species for another year. You may call me indecisive, I call myself tasting the buffet, the really large buffet.

Of course, with this realisation, it occurs to me that the era of the bat would soon be coming to an end - in two months in fact. The date can change a little (wolf in September May '06, folf in June '07, bat in July '08) but it's generally around a year that it occurs. So, just to be OCD and fill that gap between July and September, the date of the death of the bat will occur in August.

Call me sombre, but welcome to the life of a picky buffet goer! I've had enough miniature sausage rolls! Let me at the chicken drumsticks!

Of course, now begs the question of what will I be in the future...? There are three candidates currently, which ya can read up on right now (in awesomely alphabetical order).

A dragon
Initially, when coming into the furry fandom, I didn't like dragons. I dunno why, really, they just felt cold and blah-ish to me. Of course, after becoming more attuned to folks like Hiro, Blue, et al. the species has rather warmed on me somewhat.

A rabbit
Perhaps for their somewhat similarity to bats; in the sense of large ears, funny teeth and little fluffbundle of a tail, and - in my case at least - a bit of belly out front. And of course the species comes in grey, which is helpful!

A squirrel
It sounds a bit off-the-wall (and it is) but a squirrel made it to my list purely because - prior to knowing of and joining this fuzzy fandom - that is what I wanted to be. I wanted to be a squirrel. There, I said it. Shut up!

Of course, I will follow the same process I have with all previous species changes. The character will essentially look the same, just... different. It'll still be grey in colour (why else would I be called Grey?) and have that same tuft of long, black hair, but just be an altogether different animal.

Feel free to suggest other things, just keep in mind that I'm not altogether keen on fishy things, felines or equines, dunno why, don't ask.
