If you were an anthropomorphic personification ...

[Khedive Rex]

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?

 

[zirnitra]

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.

 

[AceDiamond]

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)

 

[Hey Joe]

bedroom experiments.

...bedroom experiments? *shudders*

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

 

[Takatchi]

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.

 

[Gooble]

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.

 

[JakubK666]

A cat-girl.

 

[ElephantGuts]

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!

 

[Larenxis]

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.

 

[Duck Sandwich]

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.

 

[sprout]

you don't say.

 

[the monopoly guy]

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

/f5 /f5 /f5 /f5 /f5 /f5 /f5 /f5 /f5 /f5

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?
