Hello, my name is Cloudberry Weaver Rabbit and I'm a Lapist.
Obviously, my species is rabbit. But I've only recently become so- I joined the Furry Fandom about 7 years ago as a raccoon. A good friend of mine helped me choose this species by observing my personality and decided that it fit me. I chose the name Loki after the Norse god of mischief.
It still fits me, but there is a reason I went to rabbit. I read "The First Book of Lapism" (a collection of short stories following a single coherent timeline, and thus printed in a single volume) and thoroughly enjoyed it. But something about the stories touched me. The protagonists are adherents of Lapism, described in the book as a religion for humans transformed by science into anthropomorphic rabbits.
I find the tenets to be quite agreeable, and hold to them fondly. Chief among them (arguably) would be always striving to be a better person. But I can't really call it a religion- for me, it's more like a philosophy. Indeed, one may argue that even in the stories, assigning the word "religion" to Lapism is a misnomer. Any way you slice it, Lapism works for me! And I'm not the only one.
I'm a freelance web designer. I have a couple fursuits, and am told I'm a pretty good performer. I'm also an experienced handler, too. I'm really into paintball, when I can afford it :) woods/rec/tactical not speedball.

Welcome to the forums! :) I've never heard of Lapism before, but it sounds like a really interesting philosophy. Hope you have a wonderful time here! ^_^

Thank you! Nice to be welcomed!
I have some pictures on my FA account, I'll link here...
Jirra the Rave Roo (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4797002/) I'm the green one, on the right
Dragonwolf Zero (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3570649/)
It seems I don't have any images of Loki...? Weird. Anyhow, Zero has been my main suit, cuz he's so adorable & easy to wear :)
-
Wow, those are some awesome fursuits! :D The colors on Jirra are fantastic XD
-
Haha Thanks! There's a story there, actually...
The "Fresh" circuit of raves in southern California invited a group of fursuiters to attend for free, just to spice things up and give the paying attendees something more to entertain them. A handful of us went. It was completely awesome!
My friend and I were planning on acquiring a couple suits soon, so we decided to have them made specially for the raves! We chose colors that would clash and be loud, because ya fit right in at a rave.
Sadly, these suits never saw the raves :( Fresh got shut down because LA officials were scared that too many kids were dying at these things from drugs or whatever. So said officials put so much pressure on the venues Fresh procured that these venues all cancelled. Fresh was dead in the water.
But Jirra and Arinya, the Rave Roo brothers still rock out every chance they get! XD
-
Haha, well sorry to hear that Fresh met such a fate, but it's awesome to know those amazing suits are still partying! XD

Hello Cloudberry, welcome to the forums :3
Also, nice suits.
7 years in the fandom? Much much longer than me, let's just say that :P

I can see why Zero is your main. He seems so huggable x3
I still would like to see Loki, though :P

I'd be very interested to know how you like it if you read it. I found it quite easy to identify with the character of focus in each one.
