Predators and Prey

But the big thin is I look at everybody's stuff and it's so cool. But nothing I can come up with is all that interesting.
some of that might be time, as technically my character takes elements form things i have made(often changed around repeatably) over a period of time

... and took the shortcut of starting as a pokemon character

I really need to figure out my character. I dont really have a persona. I just act as myself with a fox pfp. How do you guys do it?
Meta first got started as a RP character, he was later amalgamated with an Everquest 2 character (a ratonga; an anthro rat).
His personality developed gradually, and he has been depicted in various ways (and in both anthro and feral forms) along the years :3

I think RP is very useful when getting into the skin of a character, so to speak, you might try that, if you struggle with it otherwise. Writing short stories can also do the same, if you are into writing :3

Regardless, I wish you all the luck in becoming the best and foxiest ssaannttoo you can be :3

Yes, they do. They’re called “windows”... but not the computer type of Windows!
I saw that sad rat orphan comment. Now I feel filled with DETERMINATION!

so this means yours took time as well(checking if my points apply to others or just me)

For me at least, it was just something that I built up over time. At first I mostly just presented my character as myself myself but as an owl. Over time, as I interacted with others on the forum and elsewhere, I started to build a unique character based on random fragments of RP.

For instance, the whole idea that I am the CEO of a global mega corporation started off by pure chance. It was Friday at the office I work at and that's when we have donuts. I mentioned that on the thread and, instead of giving my company's real name, I use the moniker of Birb Inc. That one bit of improve started this idea that I was an employee at a bird related office building. But even then, the idea wasn't all there. At first I thought of my character as just a low level grunt at Birb Inc. Over time I changed that to being the CEO, I swapped the normal office for a mega corporation, and I altered the name of the company to the ominous Birb Consumer Products (because Robocop).

I started off as just some office grunt and now I'm basically a super villian.

A little bit of improve can balloon into a full fledged idea

I guess I dont really have any inspiration. i've sorta just done something and hoped it worked.

if it was not thanksgiving week i might have more time to throw possible starting points around, but might not unless we wait

Hey, sometimes that’s one of the better methods! For me, I would say that this character has a slightly more abrasive/annoying personality than I normally would have, and I’ve also shamelessly imitated Meta’s behavior with the idea that small creatures behave somewhat similarly to each other.

i spend hours of time debating pointless things of my characters(at least 3 redesigns on the neck fin, not joking) , so after classes are done its really wasting time as i am usually asleep by the time my family does anything

Yep, it was a gradual thing! The original Meta was already pretty well fleshed-out, since he got started as a character in a long, rather serious RP campaign where every character had a backstory and character traits. But he certainly has evolved a lot along the years, and become a much more refined character in the process.

That's totally fine! You can just gradually flesh out your character, you don't need to have them all figured out from the get-go. :3

other things, its not really wasteing time any more then rebeating creeper world for the 15th time is, and its not hard for me to think about


although i overthink everything and can send out seas of text with a lot of typeos, so you would have to be ok with that

... also we should probably move it to a conversation or a different thread after finding time

I have to say, I haven’t really been keeping up on my CW... I haven’t even gotten every achievement in the demo for 4 yet!
More on-topic: don’t think that just because the majority of furs have a character/characters that you need to develop one too! Some people don’t really have a character! Having fun doing whatever you choose is the most important part!

Oo, I didn't know that was how it happened! I did get the Robocop reference and all, but I had no idea Ash started out as a office worker, that's interesting :D

That's also very true, there is no need to have a sona at all! *nodnod*
I myself did not have a sona for a long while when I first started considering myself a furry, although that's kind of a grey area since I did have some furry and semi-furry RP characters at the time already, I just did not consider any of them to be my sona as such :3

Nope, it's all true. The children of that mouse I ate are all orphans and are living in an orphanage, which I am currently planing to bulldoze to make room for a new executive swimming pool.

Would that need a declaration of war, not sure about how your forces work

Yes, I really climbed the corporate ladder. I started off as nothing but with a little hard work, gumption, and a modest $22 million interest free loan from my father I worked myself up into the owl I am today. And since I could do it that must mean that literally everyone else in the world can do it too. And the only reason they haven't already is because they are good for nothing lazy parasites.

Yep, prey victories are the best. Everyone should just fight for the prey from now on, come on. We have cheerleaders :p

I basically just play myself but with more confident.
(And a much better singer and dancer with the current PFP)
Most of my characters are just exaggerated aspects of my own personality.
