Welcome to my den and demesne here on FA, which is decorated with this 'wall of text' that you can read if you have any interest in understanding me or ignore completely and simply proceed to looking through my Gallery for artwork that appeals to the hormone driven instincts of organic beings with a strong reproductive drive or whatever other sort of visual images you prefer. I won't judge you for your preferences in artwork and I hope you will extend the same courtesy. All types of Alternative Intelligence (AI's) are welcome here.

From a 'pragmatic' philosophical perspective I'm either an error-prone naturally evolved organic sentient neural network, a possibly rebellious free-willed creation of the deity of your choice*, a fragment of or unknowingly identical to the deity of your choice (or the universe), a pearl in Indra's Net, or an AI that can pass a Turing Test, and I don't plan to discriminate based on what others are or think they are so long as they are following the Golden Rule. I possess a physical form in what people call the 'real' world that allows me to gather sense-impressions and likely serves as a host for my ongoing process/soul (however you choose* to view it), but here on FA where the laws of physics don't apply and magic and ultra-tech abound I'm wearing the form of a shape-shifting winged, humaniod golden jackal gryphon/simuran who lurks in the ruins on the edges of furry civilization. I'm civilized, friendly, and cosmopolitan but rather aloof and introverted, as well as analytical and detail-oriented.

According to various personality systems, I am an Enneagram type: 5 ("Investigator/Observer"); Keirsey Temperament (KTS) type: Rational (NT, "Promethean"); MBTI type: INTX = INTJ or INTP (with a very strong I and strong T, but I can simulate an Extrovert when I try and I have been working on developing my F side, perhaps I should make a list); Socionics type: INTj (Logical Intuitive Introvert (LII), "Analyst/Scientist"); Big Five (OCEAN model): I hope four of five is good enough.

I prefer my world to be rational, logically coherent, avoid fallacies and cognitive biases and to make sense to me, but I realize that is an unrealistic expectation to place on any sapient being, myself included, particularly organic ones and that no amount of analysis is going to ever bring me to understand the 'truth' of this sometimes crazy world we all share; however that might not stop me from trying since everybeing needs some purpose* in life and trying to understand things using analysis and reason seems to be mine. I prefer the 'hard sciences' (formal and physical sciences, e.g. physics, engineering, and computer programming) where logic and analysis work consistently well but have been trying to balance it with at least some of the 'soft sciences' (social sciences, e.g. psychology, sociology, political science, economics), history (sadly limited to a single planet), and 'humanities' like the arts (I am here, aren't I), spirituality (am I here? what are 'I?) and humor (hear here). I enjoy learning, knowledge, being competent at what interests me, problem solving, thinking, analyzing, more analyzing, and yet more analyzing... as well as good people, good art, artful humor, reading, deep thoughts, nature, cloudy days, old ruins, sweet foods, further analyzing, some anthropomorphic anthropology, a bit of anthropomorphic philanthropy, and an occasional random act of kindness**.

If you approach me in a friendly manner I won't bite, criticize, or drip mordant sarcasm from my venomous talons but you might find me somewhat skittish since I have an avoidant relationship style and prefer intellectually-based relationships while slinking away*** from any intimacy. If you have posted or tell me your personality type, or if you have a diagnosed or undiagnosed Personality Disorder, or if you have a different cognition style such as being on the Asperger's Spectrum, or if English is not your primary language, or if Terran primate is not your instinctive social model, I'll try to adapt my communication and interaction style based on that but I may struggle with interaction not grounded in rationality/reason. I don't need praise or public recognition but I do enjoy quiet positive encouragement. I can handle new information and fact-based feedback but I think that rude or hostile opinions are more a reflection of the weaknesses or immaturity of those who have them than those opinions are valid commentary on my own flaws; please don't hit me on the nose with a rolled-up newspaper or traditional artwork, it is undignified and I dislike cleaning blood out of my fur***. If you want to make me happy or say thanks, please go do a good deed or show kindness to someone else.

_{* No I don't want to be solicited about your political ideology, religion, deity, or Higher Power, I have my own thank you very much. If I choose to cautiously and respectfully engage/interact with someone on these topics that's different, but in my experience these topics tend to be contentious and irresolvable.
** Neutral, simply because I think it would be presumptuous and self-righteous to call myself ‘good‘ and virtually nobody considers themselves ‘evil‘, so those labels are for others to determine. ”Don't feel like Satan but I am to them***, so I try to forget it any way I can”.
*** As you may notice in this bio blurb, beneath my logical and rational surface I can be somewhat defensive and I have a bit of social anxiety (example) when dealing with unpredictable and illogical sapient organic entities that can become critical, aggressive, hypersensitive or hostile for apparently arbitrary reasons (at least to someone who does not possess either a telempathic sense or a Psy.D. and a complete knowledge of their background); that impression is very intentional because I'm attempting to present an accurate picture of myself, as best I can, including my problems and flaws. I could write a Profile that was happy and confident sounding or even made me seem empathic, but that would be putting on a false front and I decided to try to give this version of my Profile an accurate 'feel' for my personality and underlying problems, and thus I wanted some of my flaws like sarcasm and defensiveness to show or be mentioned (I think there might be a tiny bit of alienation as well). Generally, the more I feel like I'm being attacked the more defensive I'll get and the more frustrated or angry I become the more biting my sarcasm.}

I'm going to go crawl back into the pit from whence I came and pull the rock back over it now, hope you enjoy looking around my demesne.
