Interesting aspects about your characters

[Ainoko]

Something interesting about another character of mine, Machival is interesting to say the least. Machival is an Aetragon who's gender for lack of a better description is complicated due to the fact, depending on his mood at the time can be on of four different sexes and depending on what gender he is at the time, his fur will be colored accordingly: male = pink, female = bright pink, herm = dark pink, genderless = pinkish white.

Oh good grief.

Oh good grief.

That's an imagination gone wild.

 

[Unsilenced]

That's an imagination gone wild.

Yeah.

Or diarrheic.

There comes a point at which one must stop producing ideas in order to process whether or not they are actually any good.

 

[NerdyMunk]

Um, he's a chipmunk, need I say more?
He was picked up of a hat because I wanted to resolve my fursona issues since I was always having trouble sticking with one. Been almost two years now having him. The more I've added is a name and character bio...and weight. Now he quite stands out from the twigs of recent fursonas I've had.

 

[Vaelarsa]

So, are most posts in here satire?

Please, please be satire.

I'm pretty sure the more outlandish ones aren't.

 

[Unsilenced]

Yeah. I don't think OP is kidding, and like half of the really bad ones are his.

 

[Symlus]

Red, Black and White sergal. Nothing much else. Unique coloring? Most likely a common coloring pattern; it's also generated by the Sergal generator on Devientart. Until I find some awesome artist to draw it for free, or until I can draw Sergals awesomely, I shall go without an avatar.

Try the art exchange, if you haven't already. Someone drew my first avatar shortly after making a post there.

 

[PenningtontheSkunk]

My character is a radioactive green skunk whom can fly without the need of wings, he can spontaneously explode with hydrogen bomb force then reform back together again, he can control everything psychokinically; his skin glows and it's element is nobelium (the most radioactive ever) but his fur benefits everyone because it cancels the radiation down to like an MRI's level. Pennington is actually based on the infamous H-bomb which had the power of three atomic bombs.

Pennington can also change into any animal desire except dragon because of his molecular make up. Pennington is also a grim reaper too but he rather not show his dark-side but he always has that black form as an option if you think your big and bad against Death's incarnation. He can change into that form but he,himself, isn't a grim reaper.

 

[Unsilenced]

...

Well then.

 

[TeenageAngst]

I hope you don't mean they're all that bad.

Cause I kinda thought mine was neat ._.

 

[Percy]

...

Well then.

Remember, this is the furry fandom. This sort of stuff is probably normal.

 

[ObeyTheSnarf]

My fursona actually has my body type, and that's not for fetish reasons.

I think it's pretty clear which ones I'm referring to. :v

I know, but that doesn't mean it doesn't rustle my jimmies.

 

[Ley]

I've been told that they way I've 'spliced' Adyley was interesting. Not just cat base + rabbit ears or rabbit base + tail. I draw cats with diamond bases and rabbits with triangle bases, meshed her nose to not slope sort of round like a rabbit OR a cat.. so sort of like a round ish protruding muzzle/nose.. messed up teeth, tatters in her ears, somewhat overweight.. likes video games, books.. quiet, romantic nerdy girl, so pretty much me. She's boring, but I like that. Her last name is La Phoebus, which is another spelling of my last name.


Muse, however, is supposed to be the way I want to look/be. He's a tall, pale, sallow gay guy. He feels 'squishy', sort of not matter, and he always dresses in a suit and coat. Underneath his coat are eyes. When he thinks, the eyes protrude with shadows and become beings he controls. He has 17 underneath his coat right now, and will get an 18th one on duh, my birthday. When he's not too intent on hanging around, he dissolves in a purplish black mist, and then fully forms when he has an idea to say. He speaks exactly 7 words a day (different combos) and talks with his 'eyes'. He's constantly high/tweaking, too. He's a strange character.

He also is the face I talk to when I talk to myself- like, you know how you have a conscious? Sort of like that. I don't think in words- I think in pictures, tastes and sounds, and feel in colors, so 'talking' to him in my head enables me to get a thought across. I always 'play' an animation in my head of Muse being the subject in many of Rico's songs, especiallly in the album Violent Silences.

All of my characters vary. The only thing they all have in common is that they're passionate in a form of art.

 

[Iudicium_86]

Well, unlike many, many other story arcs for characters where they come from a dark and/or troubled past, Iudi comes from a long family line of wealth and privilege. So this comes out in various ways such as being rather show-off'y and with taste & mannerisms of someone with high status. He may fight and battle (family line is from knightly heritage) but does with finesse and precision. Also hates anything dirty and can be rather fussy about it. Imagine Rarity from MLP.

 

[Arik~Vulpes]

Former Helljumper who lost his arm in a long and bloody arm. Now as a biotic replacement that has a three foot long blade hidden in the forearm. He now makes a living as a bounty hunter and is a damn good one too.

 

[RadioCatastrophe]

Aside from Radio my other characters are underdeveloped

•Pippa is well.. was suppose to be a mash-up of a kiwi bird and color scheme of a kiwi fruit... Then she turned into some short tailed ferret thing :U
•Brandi is a cyclops, a mutant hybrid of sheep and goat who is a go-go dancer and her life revoles around things from the 60's~80's as in music, clothing, and housing types (furniture, mostly)
•Ieno is my monster girl encyclopedia character so she's pretty much what you're gonna see under 'werebat' though she is also a DnD character of mine
•I also have two characters who live in the world with Radio & Pippa by the name of Elek and Chester, Elek is an Elk/Horse mix whose the typical jock but he gets really bashful when around to many adoring fans. Chester is a loon all in all, his girlfriend is a stuff animal/plushie whom he openingly have conversations with "her" in public and cackles hysterically at her hilarious jokes (did I mention he's a hyena?)
•Ema is an adoptable of those new and popular Star Eaters a friend gave

As far as non-furry or anthro characters...
•Azara is a "turned" succubus she was killed by her mothers abusive boyfriend after her mother gave her to him on request, when she died she shortly returned (a year or 2?) after the fact in her "adult form" which is more-so her just being in between being "human" and her pure form with where she can use all her satan given powers
•Hitoshi is a character who is infactuated with her and gave up gus rich boy, pretty boy, school jock/class prez for her
•Izaro & Ayako are sisters who specialize in assassation and infiltration
•Melania & Melaina are twins who work in a cafe (one of those lolita cafes)
•Igrim is a Skyrim character - she's an orc

Majority of my character vault in a nutshell e3e

 

[Unsilenced]

Well, since I've been rolling my eyes at other people's chars, I guess I'll share mine.

Probably the most interesting thing about my 'sona is that he lacks a strong sense of self/identity. He's intelligent and presumably sentient, but isn't particularly aware of the fact. He thinks of himself as being closer to an animal or machine than a person, and acts as such. As a result, he is typically obedient, but can be unpredictable and is generally amoral/mercenary. He often has difficulty explaining or even understanding his own motivations and actions, and just doesn't "get" certain emotions.

The idea behind him is that he's based primarily off my id, the non-thinking part of the psyche. Given that he's an anthro character, I guess it made sense that he'd be less than human.

 

[SpiralHorn]

Mine is most likely full of stereotypes and cliché. Not really sure.

It has the body of a male nyala, but is female and has female genitals. So this with a vagina.

This is because I like the way the males look better, and the horns are really important. Spirals are very personal to me and I'm incorporating more of them into it's design.

Instead of nyala teeth, it has teeth that are similar to the spotted hyena. It's tongue is similar to Venom's, but black. It's omnivorous and will eat the flesh of predatory animals when it can.

I usually refer to it as "it" because I don't really see it as a character, or a full being. It's more a representative of a state of mind than myself as a person. It's actually just one "facet", I have a few more that represent different things. It just happens to be the one that I use to represent myself online.

I guess I kind of take it a little more seriously than most people do :/ I've had my facets long before I joined the fandom. They started out as a part of my therapy.

 

[Schwimmwagen]

For srs though, the best characters out there are ones with simplicity.

A super colour-changing hetereochromic medieval space herm from a parallel universe where it had a background as a slave with magic powers and a sword that is a mary sue character of its own is trying too hard. Characters that are trying really hard to be unique are the norm, so the ones who don't try hard are unique. Bugs Bunny is a fantastic example of a really good character, where his design and personality is extremely damn simple.

Look at every movie or series you've ever loved (excluding some animu) and you'll see that the characters are indeed really simple. Ed, Edd, Eddy, Spongebob, Timmy Turner, Homer Simpson, Rambo, The Terminator, Ellen Ripley, Superman, Dr. House, Frodo Baggins and all his mates, and even Hitler and Stalin have been moulded into simple characters in fictional media.

The bottom level of simplicity would be Mr. Bean, and the top level would beee... sayyyy... Unsilenced's character above as a random example. Mr. Bean is simple enough to fulfil his purpose effectively, and Unsilenced's is complex enough to be interesting and be an element in something engaging, yet simple enough so it's not an absolute arse-ache to keep track of like all of the sparklesona mary sues in the fandom.

See, it's possible to spend effort to make a character deep and interesting, so much that your character becomes really fucking boring.

Stop doing that, furries.

PS: Be careful about how you use your simplicity, too. There are simple ideas that are really interesting, but "young man in college who likes videogames and sex on occasion" and others in that vein are really not interesting. Note that the world's best characters are simple ones that provide a vessel for the viewer to meet more interesting characters (Frodo Baggins) and the ones that are awesome to watch are the ones you would hate in real life (Homer Simpson).

 

[Bipolar Bear]

Interesting aspects about MY character?

The fact that I've given him all of my physical and personal traits. \(o_o)/

 

[Aleu]

He's a bisexual werewolf/demon in a gay relationship with an angel.

I think that about covers it.
