ETA ::Profile (Taan)

     Standing on the rocky shores of a cool mountain stream was a large, thickly furred beast. A bear. It stood on its two hind legs comfortably, not as well as a regular anthro could, but it still looked nimble enough to catch itself a salmony meal with its thick, clawed hands.

     The beast looked like it was the biggest creature that had ever stepped in these parts of the world. While there were dragons in Europe, tigers in Asia, and lions in Africa, there was Táan right here in the Americas, although he looked slightly less aggressive than the rest of the apex predators that roamed the world today. He had a calm demeanour, cracked a reassuring smile, and often beckoned travellers closer so that he could share his catch of the day with the strangers. No matter his considerable appetite, Táan always managed to get by and keep a sizeable belly that kept him warm during the winter months. It might have something to do with the way he managed to make everybody feel at ease. His dark, glistening lips were alluring, nearly to the point where they might convince his newly met friends to investigate closer and peer into his maw.

     The bear wore a necklace made out of all sorts of fangs and carved bones, giving him a shamanesque style. Surely if he allowed other anthros to crawl down his throat and into his warm, gurgly bear gut, it was because he knew what he was doing. Maybe it was a harmless trip that awaited whoever dared to slip inside the friendly ursine's muzzle. Or maybe that was just a lure.

Appearance

     Hailing from the lush rainforests bordering the northern coasts of the Pacific, Táan is a large kodiak bear with a few distinctive traits that seem to suggest that he is slightly anthropomorphic in nature.

     His coat was of a light brown colour, an earthy brown that was common with grizzlies in general. A few streaks of paler, greyer fur adorned his neck and upper chest, a rare, mystical necklace that set him apart from his brothers and fellow brethren from his very birth.

     The bear grew to a tall six feet eleven, when standing of course, since the ursine has often been seen walking on all fours, much like a normal, animalistic bear. He switched stances whenever he wished, though no matter how he stood, Táan furry face was always very expressive. He was a bear of few words, and though he did manage to maintain conversations whenever they were called for, he usually kept quiet, with a deep but gentle voice that only reaffirmed the bear shaman's solitary way of life.

Personality

     Táan had always been a bit strange of a bear. He was a very reclusive ursine that often travelled on his own. Whatever he was up to was never really clear, nor was it always understandable. He did however manage to convince everybody sharing his forest that he wasn't much of a bother, and that he could be trusted.

     Sometimes, anthros walked up to him to ask him advice, to ask that he perform a certain ritual, or sometimes to simply get acquainted. Whenever that happened, they found Táan to be comprehensive and receptive to their concerns. And when it came to retribution, he was usually very humble too. Never did he ask for too much, unless the opposing party was ready to give everything they had, in which case Táan might indulge in a bit of greed, secretly of course.

     And that was about it for most people's relation with Táan; they knew him, might have talked to him a little, but didn't really know him as much as they should. Those who did know him however usually kept fond memories of the bear. They might smile a little whenever his name was whispered, or they might groan disgruntledly, as if they had gone through an embarrassing moment in the company of the bear. Everybody that knew the bear however seemed to have some kind of secret they shared only among one another.

     And then, there were those who had met the bear and were never seen again!

History

     From a very young age, Táan had been taken in by an elderly bear, one that was known to be a very wise ursine with answers to most of the world's mysteries. Táan had never really gotten the time to play with his siblings or to get attached to his mother. He did remember her, and had fond memories of the few weeks he spent with his family, but he hadn't really seen them often ever since.

     His kind didn't live in tribes, nor in community, but rather in many distinct family units that did things their own way, separately. Táan had followed his mentor around for a dozen years or so, observing his ways and taking example from him. It was from that very bear that the ursine had gotten the habit to devour his prey whole, and to take things easy. So very easy. Being Táan's sole source of inspiration, the aged bear was pretty much a older copy of the younger ursine, albeit slightly slower and much less energetic.

     When Táan felt like he knew how to perform all the rites and rituals his species might want him to perform, and when he felt like his teacher no longer needed to give Táan any lessons, the bears parted ways. And this was where Táan was today.

     He spent most of his days travelling through the forest, climbing mountains, lazing along rivers and streams, hunting fish and small animals, and meditating on his own. He had met people worth remembering, escaped death a few times, and feasted on a few anthros, for years and years, and here was Táan today; a large, healthy and mature ursine with a deep appreciation for company, whenever he could get it, and a serene existence that leaved him completely stress-free. He took life as it came, and planned to do so for as long as he could, lest it somehow became boring some day.

OOC

I don’t really have that much to say here. Just a few things:

I really don’t like planning everything from scratch right down to specifics. Sure, it’s good to have a guiding line, though we can work things out from there.

I am capable of writing quite a few lines per post, but that doesn’t mean that I’ll enjoy doing so all the times. When responding becomes a pain because there’s too much pressure to perform, I kinda lose the will to play. This is why I like things being informal and casual. It’s just a preference though.

I’m a very open minded person who likes to try out new things. Have no fear if you have unique ideas to discuss with me. I’ll most likely be more than happy to hear about them and maybe help out making these ideas a fun-filled roleplay!

Last but not the least, I’m a friendly person! Give me a poke! Say hi! I’m always looking for more people to nibble at.

I'm sorry, but I have a hard time interacting with many people at once. This means that if I play in public and I'm already busy with a few other people, there is a slight probability that I might forget to acknowledge your actions or presence. Sometimes, there's so much happening at once in a single scene that it would be easier to simply talk to me in private while I continue with my previous shenanigans.
I also speak French and Spanish. No, I do not speak mandarin!

Alt of Furiku!

Roleplay Preferences (Click here for explanation)

As Pred

Being PredBeing Prey	Always/Love	+ --	Never/Dislike	I always love being predator, and am quite fond of having relations with other predators. When it comes to being prey, it can appeal to me every now and then, as long as the predator makes it worth my time.
Soft Vore	Always/Love	+ --	Never/Dislike	Whole and alive.
Hard Vore	Always/Love	+ --	Never/Dislike	The only reason why this isn't at negative one-hundred percent is because sometimes, a few drops of blood can add a bit of flavour to a meal. Most of the time, you can expect the ride to my stomach to be harmless.
Digestion	Always/Love	+ --	Never/Dislike	No preference.
Fatality	Always/Love	+ --	Never/Dislike	No preference. Killing others isn't what I'm here for however. If it happens in the process, then so be it.
Reforming	Always/Love	+ --	Never/Dislike	I can do it.
Oral Vore	Always/Love	+ --	Never/Dislike
Unbirthing	Always/Love	+ --	Never/Dislike	Might be possible through transformation, but it certainly won't be my forte!
Cock Vore	Always/Love	+ --	Never/Dislike
Anal Vore	Always/Love	+ --	Never/Dislike
Soul Vore	Always/Love	+ --	Never/Dislike	Possible.
Unconventional Vore	Always/Love	+ --	Never/Dislike	Absorption is possible, and feel free to share ideas.
Stretchy	Always/Love	+ --	Never/Dislike	I have a hard time setting limits with this, and I'm saying this because flaunting that I don't have any limits makes me seem silly. Seriously though, size is -not- a factor.
Realistic	Always/Love	+ --	Never/Dislike
Cooking	Always/Love	+ --	Never/Dislike	As long as my recipe involves raw meat from live, unscathed prey.
Sex	Always/Love	+ --	Never/Dislike	Sexuality is awesome as long as there's sensuality involved.
Pain	Always/Love	+ --	Never/Dislike	I love pain. A small bite on the scruff, a tight grip, a bit of shoving now and then. But then again, that's not very painful at all, is it?
Transformation	Always/Love	+ --	Never/Dislike	As a shamanic bear, this is something I appreciate.
Scat	Always/Love	+ --	Never/Dislike
Magic	Always/Love	+ --	Never/Dislike	I love it, and don't get lots of it, unfortunately.
Willing	Always/Love	+ --	Never/Dislike	But don't make it eerie!
Unwilling	Always/Love	+ --	Never/Dislike	Don't get me wrong, I love unwilling. But I prefer uncertain. I like the whole "Oh well," atmosphere. When being eaten is something uncalled for, but not that big of a deal.
Micro/Macro	Always/Love	+ --	Never/Dislike	It can be fun, but I prefer filling meals.
Same Size	Always/Love	+ --	Never/Dislike	Same size, or a few decimetres in difference. When it comes to bigger prey, there there is almost no limit.
Male Partner	Always/Love	+ --	Never/Dislike	I love everything about males.
Female Partner	Always/Love	+ --	Never/Dislike	I'm starting to get into females!
