Ever since my discovery of people's custom-drawn characters (fan art etc.) I've been searching for an "official" way to identify my real life self without revealing too much personal stuff.
And I didn't want to just depict myself as a guy with black angel wings or some kind of furry little wolf-cat looking thing that has a red scar on his face, I wanted something that defined me as "Yes, my name is UberScout and this is what I am."
I can't just sit behind a forum post with a paper bag on my face, if you guys get my drift.
So I will describe my identity like so (I don't have a drawing tablet at the moment.)
I have the mind of a wolf who is willing to look out for others but will not hesitate to rend your jugular once I learn you're a threat...
...and I have the body of a warrior ready to take a stand for his home and everyone he loves...
...but on the visible surface, I have the mind of a happy, soft-serve jelly who can't do much other than jiggle around and is always waiting for someone to talk to...
And obviously, I can't be all of these things at once.
So who do I choose to be out on the surface all the time? On one hand, I want people to see me as strong and powerful (the wolf), but on the other, I don't want people to be threatened by my quirks, so I hide behind an innocent demeanor (the Tickle Monster) so as not to drive them away.
My stepfather once told me that when people don't understand something, they fear it. So, I asked him, if nobody understands Autism, does everybody fear me? I've never killed anyone or even tried to, and I only really let my dark side out when I get pushed too far.
I don't know which one of these is the real me...
