There is more than meats the eye about my fursona. ;3
My name didn't originate just from the triple star Polaris.
The band Megadeth released an album titled Rust in peace. The last song on the album is called rust in peace (Polaris).
It related to the nuclear missile made for submarines during the "cold war" era.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polaris_missileThe song was my favorite off the album and I've always found nuclear explosions interesting.
Plus it sounded cool and had a bit of an androgynous sound to it.
Through internet personality test I would later find out about my androgynous gender identity.
So that's how and why my fursona's name is Polaris.
I some times add the name Tsula to it or call myself Atsila Tsula which is Cherokee for fire fox.
I'm part Cherokee and my fursona is a red panda also known as a fire fox.
