The blue dragon that you see here has always been my main face here. But he isn't my first character, I've conceptualized characters for tabletop RPGs long before I was even a furry. Pretty much every one of them has been fleshed out to a true character with backgrounds and histories and all, except for Curus. He went the other way and became my skin. For the longest time, he's been stuck to those ways.

Yet, I've reached the point where my tastes have started to settle once more. The full emergence of my love for inflatables has shifted Curus's primary form from being that of a scaly dragon to being that of an inflatable. At the same time, the idea of synthetic life really grasped hold as an interesting little concept. I've toyed with a robot form before, but I didn't hold it for long in favor of my default at the time organic form. But then, the compactness and gas-filled nature of vinyl inflatables, fitted with tech of war and science, alongside the strong detail of lifelike inflatables, and it feels like a better fantasy has emerged.

And that's where I'll take the character. Curus will be an AI platform residing within an inflatable, made with force fields, electric breath, lighter-than-air assisted flight, and many other details I hope to work out. This would also form a good basis for the other characters I plan to make - I might actually have an impetus to create a shared universe involving that.. perhaps a collaborative work with friends that are important to me and who would be receptive to this. The sillier, more cartoony side of Curus will likely be shifted more towards  toymancer-curus.

I know who I am now, and I want to embrace it as much as possible.
