I don't think there's a cliché furry.. All there is is a compilation of someone's anthropomorphical desires..
Nothing cliché about compiling things upon things you have seen with others and/or came up with yourself..

The DeviantArt OC's with neon colors and armwarmers. Dear god.
I think powers are alright as long as they have weaknesses to make up for them. My OC Hellhound can breathe fire, yes, but he is also weakened by holy water and cannot take someone's soul without a contract. I guess it may be stretching it to say he is the son of Cerberus, but he was originally going to be a character in a webcomic I was going to make and having all of your characters be average would be boring and not be an interesting comic. I guess that excuses it. Does it? *sweats nervously*

Sorry. Disagree with you. Every culture has cliches. This thread has mentioned at least a couple dozen of them so far.

everyone with a fursona with super powers always seems to choose fire or ice i think that qualifies as a cliché.

Or both.
Also demonic and/or angelic super powers are incredibly common as well. As well as being part demon or angel.

Well shit.
But as they say, it's alright to use a cliché'd concept as long as you take it in a different direction. I think I will still use Hellhound sometime in the future for my own series. Besides, it's not like he's my fursona.
I do not think rats are very common. We definitely know that wolves and foxes are the most common. There are not a lot of lizard fursonas out there and I would like to see those. I am tempted to make a lizard character.
EDIT: I searched the "demon" tag in order from newest to oldest and my reference appears on the seventh page. I submitted it only three days ago. I was completely unaware this was a thing that was trending, probably because I haven't been on FA in ages. Am I DeviantArt cancer now? Should I delete my character?

That character's too cute, I vote no.
I mean, demons are one thing, but chibi demons are sorta unique. It's hard to be completely original here (unless you go for sober Irishman-levels of species obscurity), but I think you should just go with what makes you happy.
No! Why would you do that? For example: There are million fox characters out there, but I am often surprised by how much originality and personality some artists can put in that 'cliched' animal. Don't worry about trends as they come and go in a heartbeat. Draw what you enjoy.

Thanks for the reassurance you guys.
Continuing on-topic, I remember joining a virtual pets site called Chickensmoothie. The majority of the users who went on Chickensmoothie were furries, and they had a drawing program built into the website and you could post your drawings. There were a lot of scene dogs back in 2012. SCENE DOGS EVERYWHERE.

Why delete a character because it's common? A character is something special to you and you alone. Just because every Billy Joe in the world has X-species character doesn't mean that it makes yours any less unique. You imprint a personality and an essence into everything you make that is tied to you and nobody else.
And then there's the sonic repaints OC DO NOT STEAL PLZKTHANX

lol these are funny. thanks for the posts everyone. i'm still new and looking into what i'd want my character to be and whatnot, and sure enough almost all the things posted were what i had written up. LOL! i mean, in the end it doesn't matter what's cliche or not, it's what makes you happy, right? isn't that the reason we do this?
Be a snake (your icon made me think of it), join the scalie master race :V

Probably gonna get a bit of flack for saying this, but pokesonas are just so overdone now. I'm sick of seein' them, especially if it's some form of Eevee.
Them's fighting words :V
I hardly see any pokesonas. The number of regulars that have pokesonas on these forums I can count with one hand. None of them use eevee.

I can see that, alas I only chose this avatar icon cuz it's what I use everywhere for everything (facebook included) because I'm obsessed with Jafar from Aladdin. Snakes not so much, though I wouldn't rule out getting a snake for a second or third suit.

You're cool, Mau. Your art's so good you could be a Wolfaboo with neon everything and you'd get a pass.
Plus, how often do you see Haxorus? It's like you have the benefit of being a dragon, and being unique. And if someone disagrees you can hack them in twain by turning your head.
I liked the show in the first few seasons back in the day, and it's probably even better than Pokemon's anime despite the corny translation, but it was never as strong of a brand. Pokemon is Coke and Digimon is RC Cola.
Wait, nevermind, RC Cola is no one's runner-up that stuff is tasty.
Pokemon is Mtn Dew and Digimon is Mello Yello. It's got a good design and tastes alright, but it lacks caffiene and is only good in specific instances, whereas Pokemon has found success in lots of different mediums, namely among the gaming sect.
I'm thirsty.
^ be careful, she might stick her fanbois on to you :V
We should invent Dutch Demon Dragons to fight back the Angel Dragon rebellion
Thank you very much, Ratical
. I will have to try the head turning thing
