This should hopefully replace the census.  If you can also post your character type here, that would be handy too.

**EDIT**
And mine would be a 'cubi.

Being.

I think Ninja should be a separate category. Just 'cause.  :mowninja

Kasarn would be a Demon :]

My other main characters would be Beings... but we don't care about them :P

Hey, cool, a fitting category. Regardless of power, a human I am.

Usually.

Of course then we get into the whole bit with the alternate form, and th- *shot*

Mythos/other magical. I don't know the exact definition, but he definitely would be classified as something within that category.

DA absolutely, positively will not allow that kind of image linking. Your avatar has never appeared at all for me :P I use Photobucket for my stuff, it works fine so far.

And this poll is turning out interesting... I think we'll have at least one of everything besides two categories.

Mythos/other magical for me.  I sorta fit the Angel description, but I wasn't sure, so I figured this was the best route. :P

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

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

Post by: Vaguely Creepy on November 05, 2006, 01:35:39 AM
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.

Post by: Malakin on December 16, 2006, 02:54:20 PM
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 :P
Title: Re: Character Poll
Post by: Darkmoon on December 16, 2006, 03:19:50 PM
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.
Title: Re: Character Poll
Post by: Reese Tora on December 16, 2006, 03:58:55 PM
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 (http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_363.php).

Went with Being as well.

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?
