Fur Code Generator

Based on the Fur Code documentation at http://captainpackrat.com/furry/furcode.htm.

Your Furry Side

Furry Species

This code indicates what species your furry persona is. You can indicate your exact species, or just a general type if your personal furry doesn't fit into a particular species.

There's a subtle difference between using "generic" codes and using the ? modifier. For example, FC means you're a canine, but don't fit one of the known species, while FC? means you haven't decided which specific type of canine you are. Similarly, F? means you don't know what kind of furry you are, while FG means you do have a definite shape, but it's just a kind of "generic furry", not any particular species.

Variation Modifiers

After identifying your basic furry species, one or more modifiers may be added to indicate variations on the theme:

Now	Future (Optional)	Variation
		Cyborg
		"Funny animal" (toon)
		Were-human
		Magical powers (other than those covered by other codes)
		Polymorph (the given species is your normal form, but you can change shape)
		Psychic powers
		Taur
		Unicorn
		Winged (if the species is not normally winged)

For the purposes of the Furry Code, a "taur" is a variation on the animal theme, while a "centaur" is half-human, half-animal (and is counted as a species in its own right). If you have the upper body of a human and the lower body of a zebra, you're a zebra-centaur and your code is FCeZ, while if you look like a zebra all over, but with four legs and two arms, you're a zebra-taur and your code is FEZt.

Human-to-Animal Scale

Next, add a number to indicate where you fall on the human-to-animal scale:

Now	Future (Optional)	Variation
		Basically human, with minor furry features (perhaps eyes, nose, ears, claws, some fur, etc)
		Humanoid, with significant furry features (muzzle, tail, etc); this includes centaurs and mer-people
		Anthropomorphic animal (or taur)
		Equally comfortable on two or four legs (or, if you're a taur, on four or six)
		Animal shape, with some unusual features (perhaps hands, speech, etc); this includes most dragons, gryphons, etc
		Normal animal shape

Character Type

Finally, add one or more letters after the number to indicate what your relationship is with your personal furry.

Now	Future (Optional)	Variation
		Just a general "alter ego"
		A costume I wear
		Someone to draw pictures of
		Imaginary friend
		Online MU* character (FurryMuck etc)
		Role-playing game character
		Guardian spirit or totem
		Someone to write stories about

Art

Most furry fans try their paw at furry artwork sooner or later.

Now	Future (Optional)

		Art is my life
		My art appears regularly in zines and elsewhere, and people ask me to contribute to their sketchbooks
		I have pictures in reasonably well-known zines and/or Web sites
		I draw regularly, and someone once said something that could possibly be construed as a compliment
		I've shown one or two of my pictures to others, and they didn't actually throw up
		Tried a few sketches in the privacy of my own home
		Never tried
		Never tried, never will

Conventions

How often do you go to/get involved in/get thrown out of furry conventions? (Note: this category, except as noted below, refers specifically to furry cons, not to SF-related cons in general.)

Now	Future (Optional)

		Been to lots of cons, organised at least one
		I'm a regular con-goer, and I've occasionally lent a paw
		I've been to several, and plan to go to many more
		I've been to one
		Never been to one, but may do so in future
		Not interested
		I wouldn't go near one of those places if you paid me
		Haven't been to a furry con, but I have been to an SF con
		Haven't been to a furry con, but I've helped organise an SF con

Dressing up

Many furries are into cross-dressing. Cross-species, that is.

Now	Future (Optional)

		I've made plans to be buried in a fursuit
		I'll wear a fursuit at any opportunity (where costumes are not expected)
		I'll wear a fursuit at cons/sporting events (where costumes are uncommon)
		I'll wear a fursuit for Halloween/masquerades (where costumes are expected)
		I might wear a fursuit
		I'd wear a fursuit if I had to
		You must be kidding, I'd die first

And a little extra...

Now	Future (Optional)
		I've made my own fursuit!

Hugs

A popular activity among furries when they gather, although not to everyone's taste.

Now	Future (Optional)

		If it moves, I'll hug it (if it doesn't move, I'll hug it until it moves)
		I'll hug anyone I know, given a faint excuse
		I'll accept hugs, and maybe even give the occasional one
		Well, OK, you can hug me if you really want to
		Please don't, unless we know each other very well
		No way
		Argh! Don't touch me, you pervert!

Mucking and mudding

Use this code to indicate how deeply involved you are in online multi-user universes such as FurryMuck.

Now	Future (Optional)

		I'm a Wizard, tremble before my might!
		Someday I may get around to trying Real Life, but it's not high on my agenda
		I've got characters on several MU*s, and frequently get frustrated when commands don't work in RL
		I'm a regular on at least one furry MU*
		Tried them once or twice, may do it again sometime
		Never been able to dredge up enough interest (or time) to try it
		Those things are for weenies
		You guys are pathetic, get a life!

Plush critters

Well, until those genetic engineers get their act together and give us some real furries, we'll have to make do with these...

Now	Future (Optional)

		Where'd my plushie go? Oh, it's buried under my stuffies
		I collect every one I find of a certain species (or two, or three...)
		I've got a collection of several favourites
		I have been known to cuddle a few
		I like them, they sit on my shelves collecting dust
		No thanks, they'll sit on my shelves collecting dust
		Kid stuff, I'd sooner hug a pincushion

Realism vs. tooniness

Do you prefer your furries anatomically correct (if that makes sense), or cartoonish, or somewhere in between?

Now	Future (Optional)

		What do you mean it isn't a photograph?
		Figments of the imagination have anatomies too, you know
		I like both, but prefer realistic furries
		No particular preference
		I like both, but prefer toons
		The toonier the better
		If it's not Super-Deformed I don't want to know about it

Transformation

If you had the chance, would you want to become a real furry?

Now	Future (Optional)

		Never mind the fine print, where do I sign?
		Definitely! (as long as I get to choose the species)
		Yes, if it's reversible
		Probably, as long as I wasn't the first guinea pig (or whatever...)
		I'd have to think about it carefully
		Not personally
		What a horrible idea!

Writing

For those who have tried their paw at telling us some grim (or even not-so-grim) furry tails.

Now	Future (Optional)

		I've out-sold Anne McCaffrey (furry-related)
		I've out-sold Anne McCaffrey (not* furry-related)*
		I've sold a book (furry-related)
		I've sold a book (not* furry-related)*
		I've sold a story to a real magazine (duck) (furry-related)
		I've sold a story to a real magazine (duck) (not* furry-related)*
		I've sold stuff to fanzines (furry-related)
		I've sold stuff to fanzines (not* furry-related)*
		I've written a story that somebody else has read
		I have these scribblings but nobody is ever going to see them!
		Never written a word of fiction (Inland Revenue forms excepted)
		Illiterate

Zines

Use this code to indicate how deeply involved you are in the furry fanzine and comic scene.

Now	Future (Optional)

		Publisher/editor/other staff on a professional furry-related publication (should have the $ modifier)
		I work on a regularly-published amateur zine, or I'm a frequently-published author/artist
		I've been published, or directly involved in a publication, at least once
		I have a good collection, and buy at least one title regularly
		I have a few furry zines
		Not really interested
		Comics are for kids

Furry Sex

Like it or not, S-*-X seems to be part of furry life. Use this code, if you wish, to indicate the sex (and sex life) of your furry persona. Feel free to use the # ("mind your own business") or ! ("nothing to do with me") modifiers if you prefer.

Character's Sex

What's Their Sex Life Like?

Now	Future (Optional)

		What do you mean there are other things to do?
		Ready, willing, and able
		I've had TinySex
		Never had TinySex, but wouldn't rule it out
		Celibate
		You people are sick!

Your Human Side

What you do in Real Life

Unfortunately, we can't yet be furries in Real Life (you know -- that boring game you play when the computer's down and there's nothing on TV), so we have to find something else to do. This code indicates what you do for a living, or what you're studying to do for a living, or what you do to avoid living.

(The $ modifier shouldn't be used here, since it's taken for granted that this represents your day job, or the nearest thing you have to one.)

Now	Future (Optional)

		Art
		Business/management
		Craft
		Construction industry
		Computers/information technology
		Engineering
		Education/teaching
		Farming
		Finance/banking
		Government/public service
		Law
		Literature/writing
		Music
		Military/armed forces
		Media/communications
		Medicine (human)
		Retail business
		Science
		Theatre
		Transport industry
		Veterinary medicine
		I'm a furry of all trades ("Specialisation is for insects!" -- Robert Heinlein)
		Undecided (generally used by young students who haven't picked a major yet)
		No qualifications, no job, no complaints!

And a little extra...

Now	Future (Optional)
		I'm trained or experienced in this field, but haven't managed to persuade anyone to actually pay me to do it yet (this doesn't apply to RLU or RL-).

Age

So, how long have you been a human being? ("Three foot six!")

Computers

Since you're probably reading this on a computer screen, there's a good chance you have some familiarity with the technology. Use this code to tell us how much of a Computer Geek you are.

Now	Future (Optional)

		I'll be first in line to get a cybernetic interface installed in my skull!
		Hey, if there was anything else to life, there'd be a newsgroup about it
		Computers are a large part of my life; I spend time every day in front of one; I've tried my hand at programming
		Computers are fun; I can use some software without resorting to the manual; I play a mean game of [insert favourite game]
		Computers are just a tool; I use one when it serves my purpose
		I'm nervous of anything more complicated than my microwave
		Where's the "on" switch? Better yet, where's the "off" switch?
		They're taking over the world! Smash the machines! Up the Luddites!

If your rating is at least c, add one or more of the following letters to indicate your preferred operating environment:

Doom, Quake, etc.

ID Games' Doom and Quake, and related games (Dark Forces, Duke Nukem 3D, Heretic, Hexen, etc), seem to be at least as hugely popular among furries as they are among the population at large. What is it about running around with heavy-calibre weaponry shooting the shit out of everything in sight that appeals to us? Or does that question answer itself?

Now	Future (Optional)

		I work for ID, bow down before me
		I can solve every level in Nightmare mode with my eyes shut; I crank out new WAD files daily
		I've got pretty good at it; I can get through most levels easily; I've downloaded and played other WADs
		It's a fun, action game that is a nice diversion on a lazy afternoon
		I've played the game and I'm pretty indifferent
		I've played the game and really didn't think it was all that impressive
		I miss Zork
		All this violence is sickening; there ought to be a law

Education

How far have you managed to crawl up the academic ladder?

Now	Future (Optional)

		Doctorate, or the equivalent
		Master's degree, or the equivalent
		Bachelor's degree, or the equivalent
		Some tertiary education
		Finished high school
		Haven't finished high school
		Haven't started high school
		Learned everything there is to know about life from The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, my collection of Omaha comics, and late-night reruns of Star Trek and The Prisoner
		Graduate degree from the School of Hard Knocks

Real life furriness factor

How far does furryness spill over into your other life? Or, to put it another way, how far do you allow the mundane world to get in the way of the important things in life?

Now	Future (Optional)

		I am not a human, I am a furry!
		I've been known to bark at people I don't know to greet them
		I've been known to bark at friends to greet them
		I make frequent jokes, show friends my furry art collection
		I make an occasional reference to my furriness
		I only tell close friends
		I tell nobody

Housing

What sort of home do you live in?

Now	Future (Optional)

		Married ... with children
		Married, or shacked up with your SO on a long-term basis
		Living with one or more fellow furries
		Living with one or more people who know nothing about furriness
		Living alone, other furries come to visit
		Living alone, get out once a week to buy food, all surfaces covered in computers and/or zines
		Living in a cave with 47 computers and a T1 line
		I'm still stuck living with my parents
		I'm not sure where I live any more; my workplace/lab seems like home to me
		Homeless

Internet

The Internet, and its various sub-media and related media (Usenet, email, World-Wide Web, MUCKs and MUDs, IRC, FTP sites, and gods know what else), has quickly become a leading medium of communication among furries (not to mention the rest of the technologically aware universe). How deeply have you dived in?

Now	Future (Optional)

		I'm a Webmaster/site administrator
		I spend most of my spare time surfing the Web, and read any newsgroup that catches my interest
		I browse the Web regularly, and read a handful of newgroups
		I have a browser and a connection, and even use them occasionally
		Not connected yet
		The Internet sucks; it's all just a flash in the pan anyway
		It's a dangerous, subversive, perverted abomination that needs to be banned before people stop voting for me!

And a little extra...

Anime (Japanese animation)

Many of us are also avid fans of the genre of animation known as "Anime". You know, the kind where all the characters have huge eyes and even the bad guys are cute?

Now	Future (Optional)

		I am a writer/artist/seyeiuu
		I own every episode of every series ever made
		I watch it in all my spare time (furry fandom is, of course, not spare time)
		Others know I'm an Anime fan
		Seen it, might think about seeing it again some time
		Haven't seen it, but would be interested when I get the time
		What's Anime?
		There should be a law against anything that cute
		I'll watch it, but only if it's all in English

Pets

If we can't be furries in Real Life (yet), at least we can do the next best thing and cohabit with them.

Now	Future (Optional)

		I have a vast household of assorted furry/scaly/feathery creatures, and my life is organised for their benefit
		Several pets
		Two or three conventional pets (cats, dogs, etc), or one fairly exotic one
		One pet of a fairly conventional type (cat, dog, etc)
		No pets currently, but I may enrich my life in the future
		I don't have any pets; my lifestyle/household/schedule is complicated enough already
		I wouldn't have the things in the house [are you sure you're a furry?]
		I'd like to have pets, but my landlord/parents/flatmates won't allow them
		Sorry, I'm allergic to animals

Human Sex

Use this code, if you wish, to describe the sex (and sex life) of your human persona. As with the furry sex code, you should feel free to use the # ("mind your own business") or ! ("nothing to do with me") modifiers if you prefer.

First, which sex are you?

If you wish to reveal any details of your sex life, use one of these codes:

Now	Future (Optional)

		There's more to life? Where is it, and what equipment do you need?
		I was once referred to as "easy", but I have no idea where that might have come from
		I've had real, live sex
		I've had sex ... oh, you mean with someone else?
		Not having sex by choice
		Not having sex because I can't get any
		Not having sex because I'm a nun/priest
		I'm married, so I can get it whenever I want (well, that's the theory, anyway)
		I have a few little rug rats to prove I've been there (but with kids around, who has time for sex?)

Notes

Currently Unsupported Features

There's currently no way of giving multiple answers to a section, e.g. FCF/FX for "sometimes a fox; sometimes a lynx".
One code cannot currently detail multiple characters (e.g. FCWh4dm/CF3c/UGm6s).
No way of specifying multiple Real Life jobs/training.
