Well, I looked at the current range of issues being discussed here, the meaning of life, internet piracy and the finer points of being a gentelman, and decided we needed one thread that was way off in left field. So here it is, if you were an anthropomorphic personification of yourself, who/what would you be? I'm assuming everyone here has seen or at least heard of some kind of disney/pixar movie where they have animals running around fully sentient and talking and stuff. It's like that, if you had to choose an animal to represent yourself, what would it be and what would be it's ... occupation for lack of a better word? How would it be spending it's time?

Tiger ninja? Wombat pirate? Duck-billed platypus wind-power technician? The choice is yours. Oh, and please understand, though the idea is inherently "kid friendly" you are in no way required to remain so. If you feel you are best represented by, for example, a kooala bear who is also, purely hypothetically, a pimp; that's your business.

Personally I think I would best be represented by an old grizzly bear zen master. Sleep for months at a time, eat fish and relax almost all day, finally have the time to really sit and get some thinking done. Plus if anyone disturbed me, I'd maul them.

What's your animal persona and why?

Eurasian otter BDSM Gimp. I don't really know why it's just how I always picture myself when someone asks me what animal I'd like to be...an otter in a lil' full body PVC gimp suit.

I've always thought of myself as a ferret. As for it's job? Don't be silly. This ferret would be far too busy being a ferret to bother with a second job.

Octopus. I wouldn't need a job. I'd simply catch and eat all of your anthropomorphic personifications. If it didn't have to be an animal which, given the meaning of anthropomorphic personifation, i don't, then i would be Death.

I'd be the internet hamster-on-a-wheel. Rushing all the time but never actually achieving anything- except powering bedroom experiments.

A wolf. Not exactly sure why, might be some part of my Native American heritage shouting loudly into my subconcious.

Can't think of an occupation other than "professional ninja for hire" or more realistically, game art designer (which is what I'm going for in real life, hence my lack of creativity)

Saskwach:
bedroom experiments.

...bedroom experiments? *shudders*

I would be a sloth...just chillin', taking life easy.

I would just stay away from the furries.

I'd be a moogle adventurer. You know, live in an adventurous time doing adventurous stuff. Robbing the rich to feed the poor, exploring forgotten tombs, and having the time to stretch out in the grass to enjoy the sun.

And moogles can almost be considered anthropomorphic, but I think I'd like to be roughly human height and human proportion, so I wouldn't have to use Small-size weapons.

a professional adventurer who also happens to be a cat. In one hand I carry a map to a lost island, within which lies a forgotten Mayan treasure trove. In the other, I carry a clockwork mouse. Y'know, to keep me amused.

A cat-all they do is eat, sleep and be cute. And they do ultimately have more control over their owners, rather than vice versa.

A cat-girl.

One of those freaky looking fish at the bottom of the ocean that noone ever sees. I'd be a shady drug dealer that sells drugs to fish from the suburbs, as in...higher up in the ocean.

Make a movie about that, Pixar!

Well, I usually answer the 'What animal are you?' question with 'a deer', but I didn't imagine doing anything more than drinking from streams and leaping over long grass. So if I actually did things... probably a cat. Very anthropomorphic though, walking on hind legs and wearing clothes; a private detective.

I'd go with a wolf, with an eyepatch, who is also the lead singer of a rock band. The band's songs would consist mainly of wailing guitar riffs and howls.

Either that, or a wolf, with an eyepatch and a British accent, who flies in a space fighter jet, working as a mercenary for an anthropomorphic giant ape whose body only consists of 2 floating hands and a head. Also, the ship he flies would be rendered impervious to damage momentarily when he presses Z or R twice.

you don't say.

I'd be a monkey trying to figure out how the other monkey held the key

Check my avatar. All my answers are there.

Like Sam and Max, but without the nude rabbity-thing?

Somehow, I'd go cat, simply because I'm lazy as hell.

Myself, but in 8-bit with a giant 'fro.

Awesome. This is what Moderators are all about. And banning you.

That's a dog I believe, and no.

I'd probobly be a fox; funny, playful, sociable, clever, and smart, but you don't want to mess with me or I'LL RIP YOUR F***ING HEAD OFF!

I've also been told that you have to meet me in person to experience the entirety of The Logician (well...not "The Logician", but I prefer anonymity when talking to a picture of a Yoshi). I'd probobly wear the same thing I do usually: three shirts, jeans, and steel toed boots. Mabe sunglasses.

Weasel. Oh yeah, a cynical, stealthy little weasel. Probably a theif or an assassin working for the bad guys, but I'd be constantly beaten by the protagonist while he's un aware of my presents. Eg, him throwing away a banana peel right where I step. Sort of like the comedy relief. Awesome.

Something angry and capitalist. The blockatiel dressed as a robber baron, that's the ticket. I think that about covers the two main aspects of my personality: angry and greedy.

Behold my MS paint skills.

Capitalist Pig,lol.

Really,probably a machine gun toting ferret.

John Galt:

That is seriously awesome!

I would be a grizzly bear with shaggy fur, a couple of facial piercings and a black skull T. It would look both cuddly and pissed off, much like me.

o-o I would wanna be a chocobo racer...XD Cause I just think it would be funny riding a human around a track, smacking him around. o-o Revenge of the anthro chocobos.

Anarchist white ant. Gnawing away at the foundations of The Establishment.

(Since people have already taken the ferrets. I mean hello, I don't see ferrets in your damned avatars ;P)

Careful fella, you might atract some of them 'Furries'. Not like theres a problem with that, I my self may or may not be into that knid of thing.

I always pictured myself a black panther, becuase they just look really cool. Although my occupation would probably be butcher or something simple like that.

Oh, and if anyone suddenly desides to look for the word 'Furry' on google, DON'T unless you really want to! One night on the net can change your life, believe me.

a boar,

tenacious, single minded, problem solving and eats a lot...

he would be a writer... Why? so he could type with trotters, thats why.

A Berserker Wolf. Always calm and collected, but when battle starts there is no stopping until the other guy is dead.
