What Species Are Your Fursonas/OCs?

Post by **Sleet** » Sun May 10, 2015 8:54 pm

Nah but my gecko friend said he wanted to stay an arctic/fennec fox hybrid a little longer because it snowed where he is.

I thought about it, being a bat was fun. But, I missed having my fluffy tail :3
I'll be keeping the bat character I worked on though.

I thought about staying an animatronic, but my movement was slightly limited. So I stayed a human. And I was going to leave Mickey a snake, but then I'd have to go through a lot of paper trying to rewrite a few things or making Mickey Mouse jokes.

Shut it! Anyway, on the topic of the thread. Author doesn't consider herself a furry or have a fursona, but I'm the closest thing to it. I am a adorable bipedal brown field mouse that wears green pants, has a black muzzle and all four paws. I have brown eyes and are probably the best thing this world has ever seen! I-

Not exactly sure how to put that on the list.

OC or fursona?

My fursona could be a Pekinese but I chose St. Bernard so she wasn't too small.

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Mon May 11, 2015 2:47 pm

St. Bernards are big - about Rex's size (or bigger).

A hybrid would be about in Kevin's size range.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Mon May 11, 2015 5:29 pm

St Bernards are easily one of the biggest breeds of dog. The average weight is 140-264lb (64-120kg) and height at the withers (highest point of the shoulder) is 27.5-5.5" (70-90cm). So you'll easily be big enough for Kevin!

I'm back to being a quoll now. I'm considering keeping the thylacine as a secondary character though.

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Mon May 11, 2015 6:09 pm

140 lbs? Wow - I didn't realize they got that big! ... In the Housepets! Universe, that'd probably make them about the size of one of the wolves, but more heavy-set.

Hmm, I wonder how thought-to-be-extinct animals would be treated in the Housepets! Universe? Your thylacine character could be treated like a king - or an experiment.

Technically mine is a custom species, but she most closely resembles a blue haired 8ft tall digit-grade anthropomorphic Black Panther (a melanistic Jaguar to be precise) who wears medieval attire. That said, there aren't many settings she fits onto well, so usually at least one of my rp characters is a bad knockoff of her, and I use that instead. more often than not said character has her color scheme.

Origionally, she was a feline furcadian... back about 16-17 years ago, then I got into elderscrolls and turned her into a Khajiit (a Cathay-raht specifically). but the current version, which is called a Lahrei (the panther thing described above) I've had for about 8 years now. she's always been some kind of large bipedal feline.

So... Big Daryl with droopy ears?

If I have her as a purebred, will she tower over Kevin?

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Tue May 12, 2015 10:10 pm

What's Kevin, a Rottweiler? If so, they range from 35-60kg (77-130lbs) and 56-69cm (22-27 inches) tall. So yes, she'll undoubtedly be a lot bigger than him.

He's a Doberman. Though I do think she'd still be bigger than him.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Tue May 12, 2015 10:23 pm

I knew that!

In that case his stats are: 32-45kg (71-99lb) and 63-72cm (25-28 inches). So she's still a lot bigger.

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Tue May 12, 2015 10:33 pm

@Buster - is the Panther your fursona or an OC?

Buster · Post by **Buster** » Tue May 12, 2015 11:22 pm

Fursona. She's me, I'm her.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sat May 16, 2015 3:40 pm

OK then, how much bigger would Kevin be if she is a Pekinese then? Look at my Christmas gift from dryideabat. They are the same size so would a Pekinese work better?

Civilization · Post by **Civilization** » Sat May 16, 2015 4:05 pm

Well, I never put this here, but it should have hopefully been very apparent, my fursona is my ferret Meeko, he's also my OC.

She would be 7-14lb (3.2-6.4kg) and 6-9 inches (15-23cm) at the withers. So in the real world he'd weigh about ten times what she does and stand about 3-4 times her height. I can see the difference being evened out somewhat in the Housepets world though. You could ask Rick for specifics.

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Sat May 16, 2015 10:59 pm

I'm guessing she'd be about the same size as Tarot, or maybe King.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sun May 17, 2015 1:34 am

By the power invested in me, by Rick Griffin and the Housepets! comic, I know pronounce that Elena is a Pekinese slightly shorter than Kevin.

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Sun May 17, 2015 8:36 am

Still, that'd be pretty big for a pekingese (recently learned that they're even smaller than corgis). Perhaps she's a mix?

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sun May 17, 2015 2:44 pm

A mix she will be then. Hopefully she'll be the size I intended her to be.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sun May 17, 2015 10:41 pm

Actually I Googled what their heights are in real life. Doberman's are about 2.3 feet and Saint Bernard's are 2.3 to 3 feet. They WOULD be about the same height, so I think I can get away with the Christmas pic.

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Sun May 17, 2015 10:49 pm

She would have to be one malnourished St. Bernard, though, since they weigh about double what dobermans weigh. Perhaps she was the runt of the litter? Also, the fur pattern isn't a very common one for St. Bernards, other than the face - that's why I tend to think she'd be a mix. But really, it's your decision; I mean there are purple cats in the Housepets universe, so I'm probably making a mountain out of a molehill (as I tend to do sometimes).

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Mon May 18, 2015 8:35 am

I really don't care much about what species she is as much as appearance. From the picture, for 600 points, what species should she be? If you say "mix", include the species that is in the mix.

Also, I DOUBT that Rick is gonna answer me about this.

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Mon May 18, 2015 10:44 am

After a lot of research, I've come up with an interesting possibility: A boxer samoyed mix, with a pekingese grandparent.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Thu May 21, 2015 7:34 pm

Then I will go with her being a boxer samoyan mix!

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Thu May 21, 2015 10:56 pm

Samoyed.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Fri May 22, 2015 7:43 pm

Yeah she's that. Dad is a Boxer, mother is the Samoyed. Will come together really nicely.

Foxstar · Post by **Foxstar** » Sat May 23, 2015 11:32 am

I have two fursonas, one known, one hidden.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sat May 23, 2015 4:25 pm

So then obviously, the known one is the one that Rick drew you for Christmas.

GreatKitsune · Post by **GreatKitsune** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 10:51 am

I've finally named my fursona: Kuro Negati (an English name combining Japanese and Italian words) (pronounced "kudo nigoche"). Still a white cat with a light gray tail-tip, and Kuro still translates to Black, of course.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 6:58 pm

So what does Negati translate to?

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Thu Jun 25, 2015 11:46 pm

I think Negate might not translate to anything and just be his last name.

Hlaoroo wrote:So what does Negati translate to?

The name is claimed as English, but he said that's an Italian word, indeed. It means "denied". Just think about the meaning of the word "negation".

Post by **Sleet** » Mon Jun 29, 2015 12:30 am

The R is pronounced like a D? :O

kurowolfe · Post by **kurowolfe** » Mon Jun 29, 2015 1:01 am

The R in Japanese actually sounds like a mix of the English R, L, D and a little bit of W. It's hard to explain, but those who couldn't roll their R's but tried to make a sound out of it anyway would be close to the Japanese R. So it's not that far-fetched to pronounce Kuro as ku-do, though it's not exact.

SuperStar · Post by **SuperStar** » Mon Jun 29, 2015 1:08 am

My fursona; Matthew Starlite, is a Khao Manee.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khao_Manee

It's a Thai exotic cat.

Aww it's cute. :3 Have ya got any pictures of him?

What a cute little cat! I love how it looks and love kitties in general!
