Elderfurre., We have furlings, now we need old peoples. Options

[Rat The Unloved]

An older gentlefurre (or ladyfurre), in more classical clothing, carrying a cane. They would have to hunch slightly at the shoulders.



I also suggest they be treated somewhat like a mythical, and be given a special effect. This special effect would have them raising indignantly to their feet, shaking the cane, and shouting "You furlin's get off my lawn!!!!"



Okay, the last bit was a joke, but I -would- like to see Elderfurres.

I can see this of use particularly to Roleplayers. :o

I think if they make old geezer furres they shouldn't be allowed in AI or Naia.

I mean, if Furlings can't go to FurN or Hawthorn then old people shuold be in kiddie maps; who knows what they might do! Little kids might touch their wrinkles!

They fend them off with their canes, of course.

[Rat The Unloved]

Do -you- ever have a burning need for Furlings to stop playing on your lawn? You might be an Elderfurre!

Why, in your day they didn't even -have- Elderfurres, by gum!

[Xxysthstris]

I can see people patching them over Dragons, and having them spit dentures.

I'd buy one though.

[Alluvial]

BRILLIANT! I would have Alluvial sit on the front porch of the Psycho-Delic and shake her cane at the young whippersnappers who keep TRACKING MUD INTO THE HOUSE!

[Seley]

I think this would be fun!

It's like the great wyrms of the dragons - furres only grow more impressive as they age. I would LOVE an anthro elderfurre with classical clothing, a cane, a dignified, gentlemanly/ladylike gait and walk...

I think not only 'real' elderfurres would like these, but younger furres who simply wish to look from a different era or roleplay an older, more venerable furre.

*two thumbs up for this idea!*

...oh wait, I'm a ferian tygard right now, I don't have thumbs...

*two paws up?*

[Runetta Reborn]

I SUPPORT THIS IDEA!
And I love you for suggesting it, Rat. <3

[Tachs]

xD That'd be awesome. We should make the female one really stout and fat, and say "yins" a lot. And have a really nerve-grinding, ciggy-induced voice.

Yay for the old women of Pittsburgh!

[Definated]

Yeah yeah yeah. I agree with both the old women of ze Burgh, and ze elderfurres! :D

[Squizzle]

I can see it now... Furlings throwing rocks at Elderfurres =/ Elderfurres struggling to keep themselves on their walkers...

I support it.

[Florah]

I think thats a fantastic idea! hehe. They should be called Elfurs! Have old elfur portraits. tehehe. Respect your elders!! Tehehe. I support it. I think this would bring more donations to DEP.. definately a good idea.

[Wyvern's Cove]

Heheheh.... I support!

[Mino]

Requiring a minimum of five years since registration of the character would totally get me on-board.

"Veterans, show off your poor posture and lack of anything better to do with our new AULDE Digo."

Elsewise.. notsomuch.

[Rat The Unloved]

Um, if a person wants to pay for it why should they have to wait? The idea is that it portrays an "old person" not a "long-established player". And also, of course, to balance the Furlings.

Durn furlin's playin' on mah lawn!

[Seley]

Yeah, no time limit. I've been in and around Furcadia for 6-7 years now, but this particular alt is a lot younger than that. (Because I switched my online alias and changed my primary Furcadia player to reflect that)

I suppose we do have to be a little careful here about being respectful. If they're only a joke to make fun of "old people" stereotypes that would be pretty mean. :|

But with the way DEP handles things, I'm pretty sure the elderfurre would look nicely dignified and proper, not a mockery of sorts.

[Hot Sauce]

Back in my days, Pluto was still a planet! >:{

...I'm not sure how many people rollplay old furres, but I still like the idea :3

[Rat The Unloved]

Lemme stress that it's not a joke. I really do think there ought to be Elderfurres, since there are Furlings.

The joke about the cane-waving was mostly because I have a kneejerk need to toss humor into everything.

[Emerald Flame]

When we break the avatars up and allow for different muzzles and clothing and such, Elder furres can be assembled then :)
