So uh.. yeah bear with me here.
I've been on forums before but always under the guise of my RL self, but I'm only recently outing myself as a Furry.
One of those things. Been enamored with animation, and beastmen since childhood. Love ancient mythologies (centaurs, minotaurs, fawns and the like), Disney and similar styles of drawn/computer/and stop-motion animation, tales of Lycanthropy, and the works of Square-Enix (specifically Final Fantasy series races such as Veira & Mithra) and that sort of vein.
Been role-playing a Kerran (formerly Vah Shir) in Everquest and now it's sequel since the Shadows of Luclin expansion in 2001. And also play that particular character as my opposite gender though it is a bit harder to pull off now with the addition of voice chat. But always I play him as a bit of a tough guy and never really got him in touch with his softer cuddlier side.
Recently, through a friend whom I discovered also had such proclivities, was reintroduced to Second Life (I guess I have to post an additional intro in that thread, LOL!) which I had not played since I Beta tested it in 2003. I was pleasantly surprised to find how much the world had grown, and that it had such an array of Furries and Furry friendly activities, avatars, clothing and movements. As a result I have created this new Fursona, Nix Panthera, to try to more fully immerse myself in the Furry subculture.
I have to admit I'm a little intimidated. When I read others posts it seems to flow naturally, and I think I'm still in that awkward stage.
But hopefully you folks shall help me along, eh?
