Not to be mean to people with insect dæmons (Does anyone even have an insect dæmon?) but I believe insects would make pretty crummy dæmons. I mean, they don't really tend to have traits and behavoiur that differs from other insects, do they? It's mostly eat, fly around, grow, mate, eat and bug (pun fully intended) other creatures, you know? I would like someone to prove me wrong though. There was a couple of characters in HDM with insect daemons. There was the journalist with the butterfly daemon, and Father Gomez who had some kind of a beetle daemon I think, but I've personally never heard of or met anyone with an insect daemon. Oh, I've just remembered though that Mox did have a stage where hei would be a butterfly but it didn't last that long. |

I don't think Rano ever wanted to be any kind of bug. Maybe every once in a while he'll be a butterfly, but that lasts a minute at most. He feels vulnerable when he is an insect.
Wei are currently leaning back tward the reverse caracal form. I hope it turns out that he is settled as that. I like it. But wei are still waiting to make sure of everything.

El has never been a bug. She only flickered through a few forms before settling. No bugs.

It's mostly eat, fly around, grow, mate, eat and bug (pun fully intended) other creatures, you know? I would like someone to prove me wrong though. I don't really think so...I mean, bugs are just different from humans, so it's hard for us to see their traits like we can with mammals, and reptiles and such animals. They probably all have their own characteristics, but being bugs, they show them differnetly then we do. That's just my theroy anyway. And if you think about it you can kinda tell their characteristics. Butterflys may be daemons of people who had trouble as a kid and maybe wasn't liked by many people, but transformed into their true self as they grew up...or they could be elegant, peaceful, calm, ect. Flies would probably be daemons of people who like to nag and annoy, pester, and take joy out of others suffering. People with ant daemons would probably be very hard-working, determined, be coorperative, and work for the good of whatever group they are part of rather than for themselves, and they are probably often unappreciated by the leader of the group. And they would probably end up working for big commpanies which have many different branches. Misquitoes maybe a lot like flies, except their pestering is more physical and harsh and direct... |

You have good points there, but what about the fact that inscets are very 'vunerable,' as Hannah said. Just, imagine how easy it is to step on an ant and human dies. Now, try stepping on a cat. Not that easy. Or maybe, it's just that people with insect dæmons are all very vunerable, as a sort of shared trait.

Perhaps a person with an insect daemon would not feel vulnerable in the place it settled as. If there was no true danger of any sort. But seeing as that is virtually impossible, I don't think it would happen.

Insects aren't really that vunerable though.....Apart from being eaten by birds and stuff, don't they generally just potter on with their lives?  |

Yeah... I guess. They just seem more vulnerable than a dog, or something. Easily squished, people kill them all the time...

I don't think insects are really vulnerable...I mean they do get stepped on, but out of all the insects that exist, which is millions, it is probably only a small percentage that dies that way...and it the wild, in their natural habitat, I don't think theyare any more vulnerable than other animals. They have their predators, but so do all other animals except those at the very top of the food chain. I think people with insect daemons may be looked down upon by others alot, maybe becaus ethey are different or whatever reasons, but they are not vulnerable. In fact insects are the most plentiful animal in the world. Their are more different species of insects than the species of all the other animals put together...or something like that. anyway they are the most plentiful animals, looking at it from a purly scientific point-of-veiw that makes the the most succsesful since scientifically the perspose of an animals live is to reproduce as much as it can and make as many of it's own species as it can. which would make insects the most succesful of animals...so, no, I don't really think they are vulnerable...

I guess I said Rano feels vulnerable as a bug, but when I said 'vulnerable' after that I think I ment 'fragile'.

Does that mean there are a large percentage of people with insect dæmons, also? I think that more people would have a mammal or bird dæmon because of what I posted before. It seems that different breeds, or types of mamals have different ways of acting. Example would be a black lepoard and a snow lepoard.

I just got finished reading the analysises (sp?) on Okibi's site, and was astonished by how freakishly well the red panda and the marten matched me. A long time ago I had thought he might settle as a red panda, but that sort of faded. Then I thought he would be a marten, but that faded too. Now he is becoming those sort of animals again.... Wei'll wait and see.
The form he is becoming is a red panda with white fur where it is red, and gradually becomes darker gray where the red should get darker. The markings on his face are a silvery grey. The rings on his tail are white and silver grey. The other form is the same, but with black fur frosted with silver (really likes the 'frosted with silver' thing) the markings on his face are pure silver, and where, on normal ones, the red gets darker, the fur gets lighter and becomes the same dark grey again. The rings on the tail are the dark grey and the black with silver. Same green eye. It's kinda cool.

Analyses.. =)
So your dæmon is basically becoming a white and gray red panda?

Yeah. White and grey red panda. Sounds funny with the 'red' though, because it sounds as though he is red as well, but he's not.
Yes, the forms are very pretty.
