Human Avatar Options

[Apple~Kitty]

Mmkay my first actual suggestion o.o;

I'm not 100% on this idea but maybe there should be Human avatar?

*sits on a rug and looks ahead* Dum idea?

Uh oh o.o; *runs*

[Youlanda]

Uhhhh no.

There is a human avatar you can download and use in your dream.

Humans would sorta ruin the Anthropomorphic theme of FURcadia.

[Zaboo]

Though there are quite a few people who agree, Apple, a majority of the people will scream about the FUR in Furcadia.



I don't have a problem with them myself, but I can understand where everyone else is coming from.  The best thing to do would probably be download one from the patches page.

My post was a little late.. so I edited it.


Having those pesky humans walking around a furry-inhabited world >=P

There are a few patches of 'human'ness on the patch page.

Hee hee I knew the FUR thing would be used against this xD

*puts on an army helmet* Alright furres *points to human dreams* ATTACK >=D

::salutes her fellow soldier::  But wait!!  Wouldn't tackling, be a more rewarding attack plan overall?

Despite my personal hatred to humans, I support the idea of adding humans.

Why?


Most people play humans, unnamed humans, or a character that really should be human.  Cats have become the 'replacement' for humans, and it's downright annoying.
I'd like to see the humans play humans.  It would make things less headachey.  And I might stop looking at cats the way people look at juvenile delinquents.
I mean, 90% of Furc are feline.  Not becuase they like felines, or because they act like felines, or even know what felines /eat/.  But solely because it's popular, and many also agree it's the most human-looking avatar.

I want to see some diversity, dammit!

[BlazingFires]

...on a personal note, I play a feline not because it's more human, or it's popular, it's because I've always adored felines and specifly leopards in general and when I first came to furc before knowing any better, the feline was my first choice.
Blaze is based on a drawing of a hell cat I had done.  I wouldn't choose a canine or horse for that o.o .. .. :|

Considering this 'world' is 'furry' I agree with most 'no' posts, keep it to dreams.

Introducing humans into Furcadia would defy the entire anthropomorphic theme, as Youlanda already stated. However, as the community of Furcadia seems to accept several debatable features (i.e. dragons), I wouldn’t be surprised to see a high percentage of players -- most likely non-roleplayers -- who would campaign for this suggestion.

(In such a case, to break the mold, being a non-roleplayer myself, I would even find this addition to be a bit out-of-place.)

It’s a great proposal, although, to me, I feel it would bruise the atmosphere that’s been affluent for over six years. However, I would find a dream that uses a “human patch” quite interesting! It seems as if this is something that would thrive more in a dream as a patch, than an added game feature.

[Cassiel]

And there's LOTS of human patches.

You know what would be interesting?  An "unspecified" avatar that basically has no portrait or avatar to it, so patchers can patch in their own species and anyone running around with the unspecified avatar would look like.. well, whatever the patch wanted them to look like.

[Leonis Blackwing]

KILL THE HUMANS!!!!




...er yea ^.^;;;

[Shaviv]

I like Cassiel's suggestion.. and that of Leonis as well.

But hey, I was gonna set up an RP group to think about something like that - a fur among humans. You could use Cassiel's patch idea to make it a human among furs.

Full of fear, disgust and xenophobic fun.  

[Cassiel]

Aparently, Holly and I had the same idea at the same time.  Catalyst thread!  Mwahahah!  So that idea can be discussed in her thread.

[Mr. Bastard]

You know, I have seen these topics sooo many times and its always a huge freaking battle. I dont remember if I ever really commented on any old posts (drugs and a misspent youth has left my memory into a fine paste), but I will say what I personally think.

I have been on here for almost 2 years.. I knew nothing of furre kind except the fursuits at the fetish conventions i used to DJ at. The whole furre thing has never really peaked my interest and the only reason why I am here anyway is because its more interesting then a regular chatroom. I used to think that it would be great to have human avatars and was sooo hoping and praying that I could find a patch or that they might relent but after the time I have spent here, I have noticed something.. That 70% of the people i meet on Furcadia on a daily basis are idiots.

Because of these groups of individuals, I realized that if a human avatar would ever be implemented, you would not only have massive chaos on all maps but also a bunch of no-talent, badly Rped, horribly named Vampires as well as gods, vampire hunters, and every other "mortal" looking creature besides humans that would either make themselves a regular nuisance or start "wars" with furres. This goes both ways as well. Bands of equally gawdy colored furres with equally stupid sounding names who think they can RP starting wars with humans. It would just make the environment that much more moronic where as now, I can sift thru the dumb***s to find people i can talk to at least.

I am still human and will not change from being human but i know when to stop wishing.

As for these human patchs people keep speaking of, how many are there again? I have seen maybe at the most 4 or 5 if that and the only ones open for the public look bizarre and not very set in Furcadias style as well not my style and also move very oddly. Now of course, this is where everyone says "make your own". Well I did.. or at least tryed using 3 seperate 3D programs including poser. But I couldnt get them to look right to myself and because i  am a very strict perfectionist and knew of the problems that would happen later on from your average furc user and because the majority of the people here could care less about realism and only want to either be annoying, hang out in their little groups or yiff, I gave up on it. Given enough time and incentive, I may take up where i left off but I seriously doubt it.

So until their is a free for download human player patch worth having, Ill stick to looking like cat with a prince valiant haircut and hope "furres" understand I am not one of them.. and never will be. A friend maybe.. but never a furre.

-SB

If they have a human avatar, every two-bit newbie who comes on is going to be one. They will overrun.

Also, I firmly belive that if human is an avatar at all, it MUST be a paid avatar.

Because, they just don't fit. Like Avians and scalies don't fit.

[FurryMonaLisa]

Also, creating a human avator that could be either male or female, would be rather difficult....

[Guest_Hayate Kenshin_*]

Plus, That cancels out the total original Mythology....A person fell threw a mirror, and turned into a furre. I beleive I read that somewhere or another. Therefore, No humans, they turn into furres...o.o;

Edit: And before I get turned into Hayate Sauce, I'm gonna eknowledge the changed mythology, though it still prohibits humans from this world.

You mean there aren't already a bunch of no-talent, badly RPed, horribly named furres running around Furcadia?  Frankly it doesn't matter if you have anthropomorphic refrigerators, it isn't going to change the people playing them.

Furcadia is, as you correctly note, largely composed of no-talent oversexed hacks who wouldn't know RP if it bit them.  It's just as much of a nuisance to have dragons and wings and all the people whining about not having them and the ever popular  "will yiff for phoenix!"

Personally, I think most of it is worthless.
