If you had a daemon what would it be.

[Cobbs]

definatly something with teeth, and claws, maybe the killer rabbit of monty python and the holy grail

 

[LucanDesmond]

I'd probably have a bear.

Also, HDM = Best books ever. If you haven't read them, do so.

You'll forgive me. I have a pentient for turning conversations somewhat weird.

What you all are actually disscussing is an idea that has been around for quite a while. Animal spirits guiding people or being one with people is a pretty standard peice of most Native American / Aboriginee mystical systems and as such there are an abundance of sights which will provide lists of "totem animals" and their various qualities. So if you don't want to just trust the quiz that you're a steelhead trout you can look up your proposed totem animal and see if the description actually fits you.

If it does not, try to think of animals you have encountered face to face more often than is normal or which you have had positive days after encountering. Alternately, just look up animals that sound cool. It's not typical that people will be able to clearly identify their totem animal much before they're middle aged so if your not middle aged yet there isn't much point worrying about it.

For my part at this point in my life, I'm leaning toward moose. I used to see them a lot when I'd drive up to Canada just chilling on the edges of forests which from what I understand is unnusual. Plus theres just something peaceful about them that I can identify with. "Sure, I could mow you down and grind you into human flavored jam before you even had the chance to run ... but that would be ... bothersome. And theres this nice stream right here and I'm kind of thirsty so ... Yeah. I'm just going to chill."

You scored 2 on Extroversion, higher than 55% of your peers. 57/100
You scored -2 on Sensitivity, higher than 57% of your peers. 55/100
You scored 8 on Openness, higher than 55% of your peers

Animals: Swan, Elephant, Koala, Panda, Chameleon, Wolf

Based on this, I'd go with elephant. I like to be gentle, but I also would like people to know that I can be strong if pushed.

However, I already have several daemons, so this is all irrelevant.

A tape worm

Good god, that's not twisted at all is it?

Pun intended?

I would have ManBearPig!!!!

I love it! But then you'll have to deal with Al Gore for the rest of your life.

Daemonette
*40kgasm*

Probably the worst kind of daemon to have in your head....you'd be thinking of nothing but sex all the time. btw I love the term 40K-gasm, I'm gonna use it from now on.

I would have a bloodthirster, or maybe a nurgling

Yay nurglings!

I disagree unfortunately. Good perhaps, it was certainly an interesting universe he crafted out, one with almost plenty of ripe opportunities for author-inserted fanfiction personas to run rampant. I found it harder and harder to understand and wrap my head about where Pullman was taking things towards the end of The Subtle Knife.

Spoiler: Just to be safe, Amber Spyglass

The whole love scene at the end of the book felt terribly corny and really poorly done.

I may have to revisit them again to get a fresh perspective on things with a new set of eyes and a new mind, but as it stands, my memory of the last one and a half books or so wasn't pleasant.

Bloody loved the Northern Lights though. Anyone know why they changed the name?

You are a confident and talkative personality. Occasionally people are hurt by the jokes you make, or the things you say. If they are, though, they should tell you. You would tell them. You don't like passive aggressive people who get upset or hurt but then don't say anything - instead mentioning it to a friend of yours later, or in a blog post or email. You have no patience for this kind of behaviour. If someone says something that offends you, you tell them, and you would expect the same courtesy in return.

Your loved ones know that you are not as callous as some people think you are. In fact, you don't like truly cruel people, and you are quick to defend underdogs. You are simply open about your opinions, and you enjoy a good joke. You don't want to have to - and shouldn't have to - alter or moderate your behaviour just because somebody touchy is in the room.

You love to spend time with your friends, but you are selective about who you call "friend". You don't have much patience with most people. The people whom you admit to your inner circle are people whom you can respect, and who are able to deal with your quick temper and brash humour.

Your daemon's form would represent your confident, impatient nature, and your opinionated ways. He or she would probably enjoy sparring verbally with you, and would make jokes in your ear at other people's expense.

Suggested forms: Blue Jay, Terrier, Go-Away Bird, Turaco, Mockingbird

This is not me. This is what they want me to be, in order to fit into something. I did not expect this.

When I say this is only half right, this is what I mean; it saw something in me and attributed it to something else, something it's used to seeing. It's thoughts are based on something I've done, but they don't understand the reason behind why I did that thing.

So yes, this is only half right. I know myself well enough that I know this isn't exactly true. Some of it fits me, yes, but not in the way they think.

That being said, I can imagine myself as a little yappy dog or a bird very easily. It has to be something relatively small, methinks.

In hindsight the whole test was kind of slanted. A person like me wouldn't find what they were looking for there.

A proper test would have dozens, maybe a hundred, different categories, and thousands of questions. Then again, that would be time consuming, wouldn't it?

Meh. Apoloiges Abound.

 

[Surreysmith]

Bloody loved the Northern Lights though. Anyone know why they changed the name?

they changed it in america, they did the same thing with Harry Potter and The Philosophers Stone.

 

[Killerbunny001]

Battlemech would be awesome.

The test came up with Cheetah, Crane, Wolf and Raven. Any of those are cool too.

 

[Steve Dark]

A T-Rex. That would be so freaking cool!
Either that or a giant bird or flying creature to carry me places and for me to make dramatic entrances on... (though not an Eagle, that's far too Cliche)

 

[Mr. Moose]

I've always wondered.

How do babies get their Daemons.
Do the mother and father's daemons mate and create a new one?

 

[IrrelevantTangent]

I'd have to go with either a fox or a cat.

 

[ffxfriek]

Ninja attack pirate monkey.

...or

Probably some type of dog, If I'm realistic a useless annoying dog.

haha ninja attack pirate monkey...classic

Well yeah, but I was asking why. Heck, I still don't understand why they changed the Philosopher's Stone to Sorcerer's Stone. Makes no bloody sense considering the legend behind the magic rock now does it? I've heard it was because American's wouldn't recognise/understand the concept of the Philosopher's Stone, but *surely* that can't be true.

Edit: Use of the word 'bloody' twice in one sentence Amnestic? FOR SHAME *hits self*

A wizard did it.

[Hoppetussa]

[Clairaudient]

Why a Fire Daemon of course.

This.

 

[Di22y]

Maybe a Koala bear or a Sloth yeah.
