Greetings , well mainly I became a furry due to my draconic believes which grew since the age of 4 when I had a very busy mind and I was very suicidal and I asked myself why I am so suicidal , I realised when listening and watching to particular meadias it stimulated parts of my mind aspecialy associated with war, darkness and dragons as well as Templars, this made me t believe I had a previous life long ago as a Dragon Guardian of Drakness.

I always am and was a very shy guy and I was widraw and isolated myself from my own human family and friends up to the age of 22 so baiclay 2 years and a fw months ago when I decided to started finding others like myself, I eventauly made some new friends across the world which over time introduced me to RP online which I started to like and this introduced me to some furs .

I then ended up decinding I would like to be a furr as I realised that I can talk easyer with furs thant normal humans, another reason I wanted to get into the furry community was to make some local friends and hopefully find a future serious relationship with a furr mate as I don't see it working out for me with any regular human.

If there is anything else please do ask , I will try my best to answer

Lol. Yeah. >.<; Not saying errors will never creep in but they won't be everywhere.

No, it was a great *concept*. The game that we got felt like a bunch of loosely connected mini games.

Gather around yonder thread, citizenry! Behold the wicked magic known to mortals as... thread necromancy! ;)

"Galahad?" some may wonder aloud, "Who the heck is Galahad?" Well, some of you may know me Azure. :P Yes, I have changed my username from "Stargazing-Serpent" to "Galahad".

Why did I select this name? Without delving into unnecessary detail: It is based on Sir Galahad, a Knight of the Round Table from the Arthurian legends - a valiant English warrior who retrieved the Holy Grail (along with two other knights, including Sir Lancelot). Yet, why him? For several reasons -
1) A nod towards my maternal English ancestry.
2) My admiration towards and inspiration from the character himself.
3) My interest towards the legends of King Arthur and his associates, and similar High Fantasy stories.
4) I like the sound of the name.

And, yes, I would appreciate it, please, if my fellow forum users were to ditch "Azure" and call my by new name. ;) I apologize for the confusion this may cause.

Scariest thing about my name, I have no idea where I came up with it. I cannot remember when I got it, where the inspiration came from or why I chose it as well as my Fursona. Upon reflecting a bit, I might have had the name in the back of my mind, from when I used to play World of Warcraft, http://www.wowhead.com/npc=24882/brutallus but other than that I have not a clue. I guess it does do a bit for me, seeing as I can basically make up a story on where it came from, seeing as the original story is lost.

I used to have a crush on an Indian lady named Nash when I was in primary school! So, I incorporated her name into Nasheera's.

I could have come up with some mythical, deep reason behind her name, but nope. The truth is weird and I like it!

My name is somewhat derivative of the name I've used for gaming for a while now, transmogrifi3d. That name came from Calvin and Hobbes, and I first used it when playing Spore.
I decided on Trace because it has multiple meanings.

I usually just throw words I associate with my fursonas (or any character I make) into a translator and pick which word sounds like a cool name. I'll explain about my main fursona first and then get to my two other fursonas.

For those who don't know, my main fursona's name is Xenychtis, which is Greek for "Late Night". I decided on this name since Xen is a hyena and yeens are mostly active at night.

Now for my two side fursonas:

Stylo is a wolf-hedgehog hybrid with quills under his head fur. I decided to throw the word "quill" into the translator and convert it to Greek, and bam, "Stylo" was born.

Azure is a tigon with the blue tiger gene, but the gene is only present in his mane, so he has a blue mane. I decided to give him the name of the color blue.

I always loved technology, video games, and music. technology is written in binary code, so I decided on ZERO, but that soon passed (SMG4 fans will know the trauma associated with that name, so I swapped the "e" for an "I" resulting in "Ziro"
