Reflection On My Characters04:00 Oct 12 2016

The characters a person creates can tell you a lot about the psychology behind a person; at least that's what I believe. They say your fursona takes on traits that you would desire to possess, while that's partly true for me, I don't think its the whole story though. I have four anthropomorphic sonas now as well as one troll character. Each one embodies aspects of my personality and cultural aspects I admire. We will start by analyzing my first fursona: Celandine Whyte the ermine stoat. She was my first fursona ever and I remember creating her in my junior year of high school. I learned about the furry fandom from my two good friends John and Jonathan. I admired the culture and so began designing a fursona. I based my first sona off of my spirit animal. I suppose this was a unique way to connect with that totem. This sona impacted some important aspects of my life, though I don't connect with her as well now. I gave her a highly spiritual name and so this name became my magickal name for use in ritual because of its personal connection to my totem and the winter. Also at the time I became very interested in street art culture and began a life long initiation into the culture. Whyte became my tag from that point on. Her personality became very much like my own. She would develop into a white ermine stoat with black tipped hands, feet, and tail, as well as floppy rainbow bands, and indigo eyes. I made her to be goth, a metalhead, bloodthirsty, a tagger and rowdy. I think because of this it was easy to see that I created her to take on my darker and more mischievous aspects. I designed her to be very cute, but dangerous nonetheless. I assume that perhaps in some strange way she represented a desire to show people that although I am cute on the surface I have much darkness within the interior. One can also assume that she represents the rebellious side of me that likes to break the rules as well as taboos of society. The next character I created became my main character of which I will have a fursuit of soon. His name is Brutal TheGecko and he is a Madagascar Giant Day Gecko. His main gist is that he's a metalhead who is famous in the inner city and plays heavy beats on his NJ beast guitar. Despite his heavy music, hardcore clothes, and undying love for metal he is quite sweet and gentle. He also can be very shy, but enjoys travel as well as spending time in nature. He also loves to eat rasberries. I think this character was really a blend of my love of metal and the gentler side of my nature. I am a very calm and peaceful person and I think this translated into Brutal.My third character is the son of Cthulhu named Magus Bloodrite. He is part human and part old one. It's a bit obvious where this idea spawned from. I absolutely love the literary works of H.P Lovecraft. Besides the fact that I love H.P Lovecraft I believe this character embodies my love for the occult, magick, spirituality, and the unknown. The last fursona i've created was thought up about a month ago. He is a Cornish Rex cat named Rune Elwood. I definetely can infer that he is the more serious side of myself as he is quite antisocial as well as asexual. He represents the rough side of me, but with the soft heart beneath the hard exterior. This may be a bit of a tangent, but it seems I am really excited about him and connect well with his personality. His outward bitterness and love for chain smoking cigarettes I guess is what attracts me. He's a pretty boy. A romantic and enchanting noir representation of myself. He's the loner in me, but he still retains a touch of the mystic that can be found in me as well. He's a mixture of the darkness of bitterness and sadness, but he still retains the light of creativity and helpfulness. As he is a new one I will have his description below to explain him more.

Bio:
Rune was born in the ancestral town of Cornwall in south England to a family that made their wellbeing as fishermen. At the age of fifteen his father employed him as his assistant, because of this Rune grew to love the ocean and eating seafood. Rune and his father would spend the whole day catching fish in their small boat. Half of the fish would be kept to feed the family and half would be sold at market. They made a meager profit from this trade. To provide more income for the family Rune’s mother would sell vegetables at the market as well as tell fortunes. When Rune wasn’t assisting his father with fishing he would tend to the vegetables and learn divintation from his mother. His mother instilled a love of gardening within Rune and Rune began to grow native wildflowers in the garden. Rune’s mother would teach him to make salves and brews from the plants he would grow. Rune began selling these at market as well, but there was much gossip amongst the Christian town folk about the Elwood family’s “heathen ways.” The gossip made Rune bitter and this is when he really began to learn that not everyone could be trusted. He didn’t like getting discriminated against so at sixteen years of age he abandoned divintation and formulary. He began to focus more on fishing. Through this he discovered he loved eating fish more than catching it and he began cooking elaborate seafood meals for his family. His family ate well for many years. Rune would spend his free time along the shore line collecting shells and gazing longingly at the ocean. With time Rune grew into a man and he desired to no longer be a meager fisherman of Cornwall, but to share the exotic tastes of seafood with the rest of England. Before he left his mother shared with him why their household practiced “the good craft” so frequently. It turns out that the Elwood family’s descendants had been Norse men from Scandinavia, and the religion of Asatru and its practices had been passed down throughout the ages. His mother then presented him with a set of quartz crystal runes. He had learned how to use wooden runes from his mother, but never had he seen a set of runes so beautiful. His mother explained the runes and said within the family there had been two types of natural mages. On her side of the family was tree mages and on his father’s side of the family crystal mages. Then she explained that these runes had special powers and had been passed down throughout the Elwood family lineage. She also explained that Rune had the special ability of absorbing the magickal energies from crystals to heal and create miracles. Rune asked her why she had hid this from him for so many years and she said that she didn’t want the townspeople hurting him; instead she desired for him to go somewhere where they wouldn’t see his abilities as workings of the devil. Rune took the quartz crystal set with him and soon fell in love with crystals when he discovered the amazing power of the runes. He began collecting them for their powers as well as their beauty. He traveled across the English country side using his powers to heal, but he would only help people that he trusted truly. He also embraced his Viking heritage and became devoted to the Norse gods. Soon he decided to travel to London to try and establish his own seafood restaurant. He didn’t want to go somewhere too crowded so he traveled to the area known as Camden town. Here he discovered gothic fashion and music and became enthralled. He particularly loved the Victorian and Carnival Goth movements and adopted this particular fashion as his own. He settled down in Camden town and opened his small restaurant called “Catch of The Day.” The restaurant became a hit amongst the locals and tourists. He made a few friends in the town despite the fact that he was very quiet and aloof. His friends knew though that despite this outward appearance he was actually very loyal and loving. When Rune had time off from work he would frequent the Goth clubs with his friends and drink in the wonderful music. At the clubs Rune developed an appreciation for Goth and metal music. His friends also instilled a common London custom within him: smoking cigarettes. Rune became a heavy chain smoker and he knew it was bad for him but he enjoyed it despite this fact. Rune became more and more enthralled with Victorian Goth culture as the years passed and began reading classic literature, painting, writing poetry, and sipping tea. He felt out of place doing these activities in Camden town though so within a year he used his saved money to buy a solitary Victorian mansion and he painted it black as night. This abode was his dream house and he was in heaven. In fact, he was thrilled to be all alone by himself in the huge mansion with little noise to bother him. He still worked at the restaurant though and occasionally he would invite over his friends for small scale masquerade dinner parties. He created a wondrous garden of flowers around his house and took up formulary again as his friends encouraged it. He no longer wanted to hide, but be proud of his pagan heritage. From that time on Rune made money performing magick, selling brews, and cooking in his restaurant. The culture of London was rubbing off on Rune and soon he also took up fencing and theatre performance with gusto. He became an avid fencer and actor to pass the time. Today he still lives in the same house. Though he partakes in many activities he socializes very little and mostly keeps to himself. He usually just stays within his small circle of friends. He labels himself as asexual and becomes quite angry if he gets hit on. He continues to garden outside of his house, but also seems to have adopted a love for growing carnivorous plants indoors. Various species of flesh eating plants can be found throughout his home in all manner of sizes. Within his home he is usually partaking in a fruitful activity while sipping tea or simply listening to music and guzzling large amounts of alcohol. Occasionally guests come to his house so he can assist them with his magick. He enjoys living in his home very much and now embraces his individuality and family roots completely with no shame.
