Animal 'character'istics

[Spade]

I was wondering, what kind of animals would fit these strengths/weaknesses/characteristics?

-leadership
-feast movement
-powerful
-dark
-I can't believe I'm admitting this, but romantic
-agile
-indifferent

I would like any animals that match at least 2. I'm going to try to design what I really want to be(the dark blue tails things isn't really working right now.

I would say wolves, and I'm not really just being biased because I am a wolf.

The alpha wolf of the pack definitely fits the leadership. Afterall, the alpha wolf is responsible for leading his whole pack to new hunting grounds and such.

I would also say wolves are pretty agile, considering they have to be able to chase down and kill animals much bigger than them, although they usually have the help of their pack.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by dark. I you mean in the evil sort of context, well just look back at classic fairy tales such as Red Riding Hood, the Three Little Pigs and lesser known in the Americas, The Wolf and the Seven Kids/Goats/Sheep/whatever.

I also consider wolves to be powerful, especially when in their pack, and wolves can be romantic. Afterall, the alpha male's mate will become the alpha female, and they share a strong bond. Wolves are also very social and affectionate with other members of the pack.


By feast movement, you mean fast movement? Well wolves are pretty fast.

First thing I thought of was a Panther.

*plays pink panther theme* ;D

Okay, then wolf it is. I could kind of see the panther for romantic, but that's based purely off of Panther caroso from Starfox: assault. I'm going to go with a wolf, though. That's good, because I can use Wolf O'Donnel for body structure.
Thanxx!
Now, for one of my friends, what abpu these characteristics?(keep in mind, it's a female)

-fast movement
-powerful
-loner
-indifferent
-Alert
-smart

Yeah, first thing that popped into my head was a panther. I've never played Starfox: Assault, by the way.

I guess for the friend, first thing came into mind is the serval. Don't know why...

[Spade]

Now, how would you edit Amy(Amy Rose, that is), to make her more Serval-y?

[Lord of the Dance]

Heh, for your friend I thought of a tiger. A loner, powerful, and fast. They're always alert, although "indifferent" is slightly questionable.

[Spade]

Okay, it's gonna be a tiger. That's easier anyway. Now, just one more.(this one's a male)

-intelligent
-laid back
-sarcastic
-cunning
-sneaky
My first guess is some kind of bird, but what about you guys?

[Riffoshi]

My first geuss would be a fox but if it were a bird it would be...a crow

[Midnight]

Yup.A fox practically dances into mind. xD

[Spade]

Okay, so I've got a wolf edit of Tails, a tiger edit of Amy, and a crow edit of Sonic.(A fox would look too much like Tails, and I'm trying to have a starfox thing going)
Now, what are these animals' body structures like?

[Riffoshi]

hmmm? wut do ya mean me confused?

-EDIT-Big words like body-structure confuse me

[Spade]

The way their body is "built", and the way they move, and how that would translate onto a human(optional)

[Andreshi]

Wouldn't you need one more person for a Star Fox kinda thing (Leader, ace pilot, mechanic, and advisor or telepath).
Anyways, I would go with the Sonic X or Sonic Advance 3 body structure.

[Spade]

I don't mean the Sonic characters' body structure, I mean the body structure of the actual animals(Wolf, crow, and tiger)
For one more person, instead of a person mechanic, I think I'll have a ROB character. Maybe a metal version of Narcissu(Metal Narciss)?

[teh yoshi]

Wait, what's this all for, anyway?

[Spade]

Character design. I was reading on a sprite tutorial website that it helps to get animals that match your character's characteristics.
I figured, "why not?"
