Character Poll

[mini-lion]

Being reporting in

[Aridas]

I like how the beings vastly outnumber any other single race, like they do in the comic >.>

[Jim Halisstrad]

Being.

Magical abilities are for sissies.

[Stygian]

Magical abilities are for sissies.

Hear hear! Pure, unbridled evolution is the way! For the overmind!

[Cogidubnus]

Being.  And, uh, Geraldson? That guy is acting up again. 

[Xuzaf D]

Other non-magic. That's open to multiple definitions.

[grayvn]

I'm still working on the exact definitions, but it will definitely be undead.

(Though I'm sad for abandoning that were idea)

[Vaguely Creepy]

Well, I'd like to think of myself as some sort of Phoenix or Angel, but being a squid-tongued clown-freak actually sounds pretty interesting, too.

So I'd have to say "Other Magical."

Really, I haven't settled on a permanent identity, but the ones I come up with usually fit that category pretty well anyway.

[Maxx]

I'd go with black panther cubi

[ShadowMoon]

[Valynth]

I'll go with human here.  Why?  Because it would freak everyone out.

[Gabi]

Freak everyone out? We already have 5 of you people.

[ITOS]

Well, that freaks me out. Too many meatbags!

[bill]

What, the other folk don't fall under the "meatbag" classification? 

[Darkmoon]

Yeah, technically speaking, all relatively fleshy lifeforms would be meatbags.

[xHaZxMaTx]

What, the other folk don't fall under the "meatbag" classification?

I guess not.  Maybe we're just 'furbags'.

[bill]

No, unless your interiors are entirely made of fur.

[Darkmoon]

Yeah, I dunno how furbags would hope to survive...

[ITOS]

Good points, meatbags.

[Malakin]

If i had to, i would be a were, not only can they transform into a human (I like being human thanks ) form, but they also can transform into a full animal form which is very powerfull magic wise..

Combine this with being very hard to find amongst beings and the fact that the human form has antimagic ability's you quickly realise they actually have the best of ALL worlds.. and there for are the only logical choice

[Darkmoon]

Well, sorta.

Were's CAN turn into fuill animals, but the generally accepted theory is that, when they change, they are fully animalistic, thus no real intelligence of a "human" level until such time as they change back.

Add to that the normally, your average werewolf cannot change into half man-half animal forms unless they are very powerful, and yeah... not always the best of all worlds.

[Reese Tora]

What I'd like to be, or what I'd probably be?

Probably a being.  While I've always envisioned my character as having an alternate form (one, only, an animalistic form to compliment my anthropomorphic form), I don't think that the DMFA version of a were fits at all, because I've always felt that I/he would be someone who survived absed on his skills an amrtial prowes rather than having magic to fall back on (or an immunity thereof)

I'd probably end up working for Jyrryas, or one of his contemporaries, and end up like this.

[King Of Hearts]

Lotsa meatbags here...

Went with Being as well.

A blank template of a character is easy to develop.

[Tapewolf]

What I'd like to be, or what I'd probably be?

Well, the original idea was sparked off by Silverfox and a few others who said there were too many 'cubi characters in the forum.  So I began to wonder if there were, in a statistical sense.  In effect, the idea is to try and get a cross-section of character types although you're free to interpret the data as you wish.

( The first attempt was a pie chart, but it had a few problems:

That doesn't sound like the description of DMFA weres. Aren't you talking about some other kind of weres?

[Faerie Alex]

Sounds like werewolves to me. (The ordinary kind.)

[Malakin]

Yeah, i looked up DMFA weres first before posting Darkmoon

[Alablast]

Hrm... well, there aren't any kitsune, but there are warp achi!  So Mythos/magical.


And it'd be sssooo much easier to steal things... just poof, and it's gone!  *dreamey-eyed*

[Darkmoon]

This is what we call thread necromancy. Read the rules. Don't do it.
