Yourself
========

1. What is your name?

Cybernet3000. Or CybNt3k for short. Some people call me cybernet, I've heard Cybs a few times and Cyber is ok, as long as I'm not confused with someone else.

Cybernet3000 was a name I came up with many many moons ago when I first got my own e-mail address. I was determined at the time that if I was going to put a number on my name, it would make sense and not be like *my name*874 signifying that 873 other people chose that name first. So finally I came up with Cybernet, since I really was into the whole "cyberspace" thing at the time. Then I put 2000 at the end, cus back then thats what you did to make everything seem futuristic. But after some thought, I realized that the millenium was only a few years away, and then the name would sound silly. So I upped it to 3000.

And it has more or less stuck ever since.

2. What is your email address?

It's on this site somewhere.

3. Are you male or female?

I'm male, but I do have a minor effeminate side to me. Not a big one, I'm not a swishy queen, but it's there.

4. How old are you? / What is your date of birth?

January 14, 1987. And since people on the net seem to show an inability to do math, that makes me 17

5. Where do you live?

Northern Alberta, Canada.

6. What are your interests/hobbies?

Drawing (Specially Manga/Anime and Furry), Writing fictional prose, reading, playing video games, watching movies, listening to music, lounging around, and surfing, chatting, downloading, streaming and all that stuff associated with the Net.

7. What do you do for a living?

Ask my parents for food. And do time as a Cashier at a local grocery store. Go me.

8. How would you describe your personality?

Predominantly Eccentric, Incidentally Normal

Introverted iNtuitive Feeling Perceiving, if you know Myers-Briggs

Very shy, and quite introverted. I have a hard time meeting people, but I love making friends. Which is often difficult. Because I have a hard time meeting people. See, I'm crazily afraid of being rejected.

I'm very friendly though, and (I think) a great guy to be with. I have a good sense of humour, am extremely loyal (once we're truly friends, I'll be there for you no matter what) and except for the occasionaly moment of mild depression, I'm a very fun kitten to be with.

9. Do you believe in ESP? Do you consider yourself to be psychic?

Not sure about ESP, nor about the psychic. I'm open to the possibility though. There have been several times where've I've gone somewhere and the first thing that comes to my mind is, "Someone died here." I've never yet been wrong.

10. Are you a meat eater?

Yes.

Furry media
===========

11. Who are your favourite furry characters?

Martin Miller from Circles; Ozy and Millie; Sabrina from Sabrina Online; Simba and Nala; Mrs. Frisby, Justin and Nicodemus; Tails; Ratchet; Kimahri; Robin Hood from Disney's Robin Hood; Sabrewulf; Butch and Lou (Cats and Dogs); Shade Silverwing and Marina Brightwing; Donkey from Shrek; Fox McCloud; Scrat (Crazy Squirrel from Ice Age), Howie and Chester (Bunnicula)

12. What type of furry artwork do you enjoy viewing?

Mostly Anime/Manga style, and a fantasy and/or sci-fi theme, but I'm open to almost anything as long as its not too distorted or crazified. I especially love Bishounen, which are anime pretty boys. They're not overly muscular, but they're very sexay. Think the guys from Final Fantasy. Except most FF characters aren't furry. Oh well.

And I don't mind yiffy work, but of course I favour male homoerotic pieces over heterosexual pieces. And no micro/macrophelia, please.

13. What type of furry literature do you enjoy reading?

Action and Adventure usually, with lots of stuff going on, fighting and action. I really like Sci-Fi and/or Fantasy again. I'm also really big on thrillers, especially techno thrillers. Funny books like the Bunnicula series are really appreciated every now and then. And books about cats in real life, like the Cat Who series.

Erotic lit is ok, but I don't go for the purely yiff stories whose sole purpose is to get the reader off. I want plot/character development, even if it is as thin as the text its printed in.

14. What types of furry media do you create?

Occasinally I draw furry stuff, but I mostly write.

15. What types of animal/furry themed decorations adorn your living space?

Many many printouts. And as I find more artwork I like, the number of said printouts will increase. I also hope to get some posters. I really want a circles poster, among other things. A few plushies as well.

16. Describe your ideal plushie.

Feline, for starters. Big, second of all. Like I'm talking huge. Almost like a chair. So I can sit in it and cuddle it, and such. It has to be soft, and cuddly. And I prefer natural fur colours.

Costumes and collars
====================

17. Do you enjoy wearing fursuits and/or furry accessories?

Well I have a red collar, but I don't wear it very often. It was just one of those things that I tried. I'd like to try a pair of ears and a tail though.

18. Do you feel 'furrier' when wearing a fursuit/collar/tail etc?

The collar doesn't really affect me at all. Can't speak about the rest of the stuff.

19. Describe your favourite/ideal 'furry' appearance.

Can't really think of one, sorry.

Furriness
=========

20. What are your phenotype(s)?

Domestic cat. Black and White Shorthair.

21. How/when did you discover the identity/species of your phenotype?

Well I always knew I loved cats, but I didn't really get the specific species until I found out exactly what furry was.

22. What conditions help you to enjoy/express your furriness?

Being with Midnight, my familiar. He's the same breed as I am, with very similiar colouration, and I think he influenced my decision. Also being on the computer, working on something furry or being with my furiends. And walking alone through woodland.

23. How and when was your furriness first evident?

It was for the most part always evident. My extreme attachment to cats, my mimicking their behaviour. I just didn't know what it was.

24. How much of your furriness is 'instinct' vs 'learnt'?

I'd say a lot of it is learnt. I taught myself cat behaviour and mannerisms at a young age from studying books on cat pyschology and later Midnight. Somethings though, like my cat stretch, is instinct but I think my realizing I was furry subconsciously affected that.

25. How does your furriness influence your thoughts and emotions?

Well i'm totally curious. I have to check out everything... everything. And I'm very nosey. I need to know what everyone is doing, which is a bit hypocritical because I'm always getting upset when people start poking into my life. I also have a more laid back approach to life now.

I hate to admit it, but I'm also a bit self centered at times, and quite a often I act like I'm the most important person in the universe without realizing it. "Dogs think they're human, cats think they're god."

And I tend to go along with the whole "Lord" and "God" thing. As my Creative Writing teacher, "The Bodacious Goddess of Succulense" said, if you're going to have delusions of grandeur you might as well go all the way.

26. Has your furriness improved the quality of your life?

Without a doubt. It has greatly increased my self confidense, and even though I still hesitate and wait before introducing myself to stangers, I have more friends now then I ever have. And before I found furriness, I was going through a big stage of depression. Now that seems to be over, for the most part.

27. What do you think caused your furriness?

Possibly being feline, or connected to a feline in some way, in a past life.

I originally discovered furry by mistake (fate?) when I was searching for pictures and found a pic of Gerald from Associated Student Bodies. I was intrigued. The whole "furry" aspect of it seriously intrigued me, as well as the theme of growing up gay in a straight world, although at the time I wasn't ready to admit to myself that I was gay.

Unfortunately, ASB held little for me. I couldn't read it, due to lack of money and age. But a quick look around AlleyCat books and Rabbit Valley showed me there was more "Furry" stuff out there. Pretty soon I found Yerf and VCL, Furnation and Furtopia. I began drawing my own furry art, and even though it was terrible, it occupied my mind and helped with my depression. Then I found Rabbiting On by Loganberry, and it just hit me. This is me. And that's how it started.

Acting furry
============

28. How does your furriness manifest itself externally?

Where do I start? I'd like to be able to purr, but I can't get it right, all I end up with is a sore throat. Bloody irritating, I can't get the rolling "r" sound AT ALL! It made learning French quite difficult, and then there were the students running around saying, "Rrrroll up the rrrim to win!" and I couldn't. If I'm angry, I'll hiss and do so often. I hiss at people who are pissing me off, and bare my teeth sometiems. I haven't bit anyone, at least not in anger. But I have swiped at people. I don't pounce, but if I'm really pissed off, I initiate a piercing glare that lets the receiver know to back off and shut up. I also through a fit if I fall in a puddle or get wet when I'd rather be dry. Which is most of the time, I only get wet when I'm swimming or showering.

Also, I have a total fascination for moving stuff. In autumn on a windy day, I can often be found outside with a big grin as I watch totally captivated as leaves go spinning around me. I can spend hours just watching a pendulum swing, the blob of wax in a lava lamp or water trickle over stones.

29. Do you act furry in public?

Yes, but since apart from the strange sounds it's not that major a thing, most pople don't notice it.

30. How does your furriness influence the way you interact with people?

It doesn't really.

31. How much control do you have over your furriness?

Total control, but I chose not to really control it and let it evolve.

Furry thoughts
==============

32. Would you become an animal/furry, if you -couldn't- change back?

If I could choose the species and appearance, and wasn't the only one doing it... then yes! Absolutely, totally, where do I sign and where do I queue?

33. Describe your ideal physical form.

An anthropomorphic shorthair, mostly black with a white chest and neck, which extends up to a patch that encircles my left eye. Medium-short hair, slighlty spiked, dyed a bright red. Blue eyes. Some red stripes near the tip of my tail, which is long and thin.

In terms of clothes, I wear a lot of khakis, and t-shirts or button up short sleeved shirts. For jewlery I have a spiffy digital watch attached to my belt or hanging from around my neck (depending on my mood) and a large collection of necklaces, which I change from day to day. Most of them are celtic knots or deities. I also have a few pentacles and such. And I always wear a pair of celtic wristbands, one on each wrist, which are made of a series of celtic knots. These wristbands aren't just for decoration.

34. What kind of furry, non-sexual fantasies do you have?

Agility. Being able to leap from high place to high place, and scramble vertically around. I also wish I had a tail, and if I couldn't fully transform to furry I'd at least settle for a tail (Like Zidane from FF9). Cat's express themselves so much with their tailed, from the curious perk to the annoyed twitch.
