Does your Fursona come from Space?

And I've been meaning to ask, Amiir, what IS your fursona? Same as your icon? I NEED TO KNOWWWWWWW :V

Yep, that's me on the icon. My fursona is technically a ''skinsona'' since he's got no fur (if we exclude some hair) and unlike most furries he's tailless too. Not that the latter has got to do with anything, but IDGAF. He's mainly a mix between bovines and lizards. I've given a name to this species as well: sirani. I've given them a history, culture and so forth. They're mah little babehs. Glad my persona sparked some interest :p

Sounds cool. Do you have ref sheet or full body art of your character?

You must have some weird setup to be able to have 2 planets 7 billion miles apart, given that even Neptune is less than 3 billion miles from the sun. Perhaps this other planet is somehow at the 3rd Lagrange point (a captured rogue planet?), and you're both 3.5 billion miles from the star. Though for that planet to be habitable at 3.5 billion miles, it's presumably a lot larger than the sun. Or older? And I guess there's no other planets in the system either, since otherwise they could easily get closer than 7 billion miles. Unless you've somehow got a series of planets formed at enormous distances around a hypergiant, though the strong emissions from such a star would make planet formation rather difficult at such a tenuous distance.
My system's setup is a Yellow Giant Sun, Red Dwarf Sun, 3 moons, then the main planet, which as big as Earth's sun. Our suns are two times bigger than Earth's Sun, so yeah, big system I've got. Btw, it's the system that's 7 Billion Miles away from another system, not the planets. If every planet in my system were that far it would be crazy!

So yeah, our system has the planets as close as possible without any problem. (Goldilocks Zone)

We frown on RP here because no fun is allowed...unless you yiff it, because we're furries and we must always yiff or gtfo :V

That is really cool, actually! I'm with Maugryph, got any full body stuff or refs? Course, I could be not lazy and go through your gallery XD

My system's setup is a Yellow Giant Sun, Red Dwarf Sun.... Our suns are two times bigger than Earth's Sun...

A binary system then. But red dwarfs by definition are no more than half the size of Sol, so if it's 2 times bigger it's not a red dwarf.

My system's setup is a Yellow Giant Sun, Red Dwarf Sun, 3 moons, then the main planet...

I assume you mean the planet has 3 moons, not the suns, otherwise they're just more planets.

... then the main planet, which as big as Earth's sun...

Anything with that much mass would become a star, not a planet. Even if it magically didn't, a planet with a similar composition to Earth's but the size of the sun would have a surface gravity around 112g.

Btw, it's the system that's 7 Billion Miles away from another system, not the planets)

That's even more preposterous. Alpha Centauri for example - our nearest star - is about 25,277,980,000,000 miles away. There's no way you have another stable system just 7 billion miles away unless it's a brown dwarf or something, especially when you already have 2 suns twice the size of Sol and another Sol-sized object in there orbiting out around them.

I get you want to makes your own little system and whatever but it's not even remotely believable.

Since you seem to have some knowledge on the matter could you tell me if my system makes any sense? Basically it's an orange dwarf system with 4 planets. I chose an orange dwarf since it seems to be the most suitable for life: I heard red dwarves are unstable (whatever that means) and too cold while yellow dwarf systems normally wouldn't be able to host life since they're too bright and burn for too little time (correct me if I'm wrong here). So, always assuming I'm correct, an orange dwarf burns longer than a yellow dwarf thanks to its lesser size and isn't as unstable as red dwarves are. Also, what does it mean if a star is ''unstable''?
Then there are the planets: first in line is one o' them fancy carbon worlds (you know, the ones they say have actual diamonds and carbon based fuel on their surface), then this Earth-like world I call Rejka where me beloved aliens are, then this gas giant and finally a small, cold rocky world like Pluto but not as small. I wonder if being relatively too close to a gas giant could cause Rejka to become distorted or other unpleasant things? I also heard that being near a gas giant has its benefits
I didn't want to make Rejka too alien to avoid to make it confusing. Same day and year length. I do worry about its size though: is an Earth-like world 4/3 the surface of our planet suitable for life? As in, is gravity light and comfortable enough on such a world?
Critique welcome



@ Maugryph, SodaBubbles: Uhm, I do have a full body piece... If you don't mind male nudity, that is. Needless to say, NSFW ahead ===> http://www.furaffinity.net/full/16976680/ . All my characters have blue eyes, you'll recognize my persona 'cause his are green-hazel and his skin is more pale than that of the others
Also, Mau, the one you linked is just some randomly designed character to show off some clothing designs. Might transform 'im into an official character though

Then you have an interesting setup anyway. No solar system can be 7 billion miles appart from each other. They would attract each other. The solar system closest to earth's is the Alpha Centauri System with 3.8 Lightyears which are about 2.2x10^13 miles. And even this is one of the shortest distances between solar systems you will find.

Oh and planets the size of earth's sun couldnt exist in that way. They would be either Gas Giants, Dwarfs or Stars

Since you seem to have some knowledge on the matter

My knowledge of space is pretty basic really, I just back it up with trips to google and wikipedia, plus some calculator fiddling.


Nothing really stands out as absurd or infeasible, just so long as there's sufficient space between the gas giant and the smaller ones. Some browsing on wikipedia seems to suggest that it's unlikely you'd have both a carbon-based planet and an oxygen-based planet in the same system, but the universe is a large place so who knows; "unlikely" is not "impossible".

Would the life on such a planet not adapt to the gravity on it from the start?

One of my characters (not really a fursona, because I have a few of them) was a security guard on a space station. She was born there, so... yes? She's from space? Never been to Earth though. Earth isn't exactly a vacation hotspot in her universe.

An unstable star might be one that does not produce an even amount of light, instead throwing out a lot of flares. They might also die off in a few million years, exploding violently in what is really only the infancy of a solar system. This a bad thing if you are alive and in the vicinity.

In the case of red dwarfs, it's mostly the solar flare thing. That and the fact that to be in the habitable zone of such a star you would need to be almost kissing it. Basically they're the star equivalent of a shitty florescent light with a bunch of dead bugs in the fixture, only they live for trillions of years.

"Yellow Dwarfs" are shorter lived, especially compared to the energizer bunny red dwarfs, but our sun is one, so I really hope they can support life.

Being near a gas giant is unlikely for any inhabitable world, as gas giants tend to be farther out from stars than the inhabitable rocky planets. Being near a star does bad things to big planets, like boiling away the gas in their atmosphere and ripping them to shreds with the orbital speed differences between sides of the planet. Basically the dark side of the planet is trying to go slower than the light side because the dark side is farther from the star. If a planet is big enough, close enough to the body it's orbiting, or made of not very dense material, this can turn the planet into a smeared ring of gas and dirt. They also sweep large orbital paths, and would probably "eat" smaller planets that got too close by dragging them out of their orbits and eventually colliding with them. Omnomnom.

In terms of gravity, there's one major problem with low gravity planets, and that's atmospheres. You need gravity (and a strong magnetic field, but presumably the planet is iron-cored) to keep an atmosphere. The closer a planet is to a star, and the smaller it is, the less gas it will be able to hold on to. Thinner atmospheres can still be breathable, especially if they have a higher oxygen partial pressure, but there are consequences to the ecology of the planet.

Thankfully these consequences including fucking over large, flying insects, so I'm pretty ok with the idea overall.

Well, yeah, I think it would. I was concerned about whether the gravity of my planet would allow life to develop as we know it. If you played Mass Effect you'll know that these aliens, the elcor, are the way they are due to evolving on a high gravity world. Aaaand they're absolutely fugly. Fuck that shit, I don't want my aliens to look like that.

@ Unsilenced: Thank you too dude, I appreciate the info
