The Daemian Union (TDU) V2 (POSTING OPEN!)

[Vargulf]

well I have to agree with what iBeebs said, though it was close but Im not really that docile, this was what I got:You are a talkative, open kind of person. You wear your heart on your sleeve, and you trust people not to break it. In a way, you are as honest and trusting as a child. You are comfortable with who you are and have a strong sense of self, but you are also a little sensitive. Hurtful remarks, especially from people whose opinion you value, have the power to wound you terribly.</p>
<p>You tend to be open about your thoughts and opinions, and you find it difficult to hide your emotions from people. You like to share your thoughts, opinions, and emotions with people, and to hear theirs in return. When someone disagrees with you or offends you, you will take them up on it, whether they are friends or strangers. You don't mind a friendly debate, but become upset when things get hostile. You wish that people wouldn't take everything so personally, but simply think calmly about things.</p>
<p>You have a close knit group of friends and family for whom you would sacrifice almost anything. You don't like big parties full of strangers - you would rather spend your time with the people whom you really care about. You need a private spot where you can retreat when the world gets to be too much, but you want to be able to emerge from your "den" and find your loved ones there to heap love and affection upon you.</p>
<p>Your daemon would represent your loving, open nature, and he or she would probably spend a lot of time encouraging you to be independent and to do the right thing.</p>
<p>Suggested forms: Dog, Otter, Marmoset, Saw-Whet Owl, Songbird, Chinchilla.http://www.helloquizzy.com

Though the wolf feels like its more feeling because I'm all about my family, I will do anything for them. I know a lot might say this but I always see this timber wolf wanting to project itself...I might have to do more research before I believe what is right...this was fun though.

I just went through all the bother of taking the test, only to see I had to create an account. Bl Is there as way around this?

[Vargulf]

oh you didn't have to do that, all you had to do is click off the checked box before you hit submit.

When I was taking that quiz, Grei did something really funny. You see, he doesn't talk much, more just movements and expressions. So this made me laugh alot.

'Would you prefer to be the small dæmon who whispers in the kids ear?'
So he crawls on my shoulder in rat form and says:
"Hey little mama lemme whisper in your ear."
I woke up the house.

Lolnice.

Aw darn, that means I have to fill it out again later! Good thing I can remember my answers. Bl

[LittleWings]

That test was actually pretty fab, me and Ains got a few chuckles out of some of the answer choices. xD
Results were pretty darn acurate for me, "independant soul"; 18% extroversion, 5% sensitivity, and.. 0% openess; of course. Ains likes the owl suggestion, he says he's gonna go with that for awhile now but I'm sure he'll forget and stick to being the loud-mouthed crow that he is.

[CaricatureBlue]

Haha! I got multi-faceted soul, and it described me perfectly. like literally perfectly some of the answers were funny to X3

[Kheisa]

That quiz was actually created by one of our old forum members, Carol of Brero iirc? She's not around so much anymore. It's pretty old, but probably still one of the best daemon quizzes for the most basic form-finding. Also, from what I recall, the 'multi-faceted soul' option is the 'unsettled' option, which is why the animals it suggests are so different. For what it's worth.

Also, I have a question for some of the more experience Daemians here.
I seem to remember some discussion on the effects of psychological disorders on daemon forms, but I can't seem to find it and don't remember what was said about it. Does anyone have any information on that sort of thing?

I assume the general consensus is that for the most part, you decide what your own healthy behavior is. If Sil or Luna suddenly became averse to human contact and shut themselves up in their respective rooms for a month, that would be really unhealthy for them, but for strongly introverted people it can just be an average healthy month. And I reckon a similar concept probably applies to psychological disorders? If you decide your "normal" behavior is you on-meds, that's your call, and you form-find based on that. If you think you off-meds is your normal self, that's also your prerogative. It's not like anyone's going to be able to tell you you're objectively wrong in our made-up fictional personality typing system, haha. It's also helpful if you don't believe in settledom, because then you can freely form-find for either version of you and in the middle of a new therapy technique and between medications and not have to worry about having One True Form for all occasions.

I may have pulled that straight out of my booty, but it makes sense in my brain. Feel free to dissent or start discussion. :3

I really liked Carol's daemon quiz and wish that I had given it a bit more thought when I took it. I got Open Solitary Soul:

You are a caring and introverted personality. You need a lot of personal space, and you find dealing with strange people and new situations to be stressful and tiring. You need to relax with time to yourself in order to recharge after a highly social day. Despite your dislike of loud noises and big crowds, however, you are not shy. You have a good sense of your own self worth, and you are not afraid to be yourself.

You tend to wear your heart on your sleeve, and you are open and honest. Deception does not come easily to you. You have nothing to hide, and you are not afraid to tell people your opinions or express your feelings. This does not mean, however, that you tend to fly off the handle. Your own belief in yourself helps numb some of the wounds that are inflicted by cruel or thoughtless people. When they do hurt you, though, you can't help but show it.

Your daemon's form would represent your introverted nature, your expressiveness, and your strong sense of self. He or she would probably take an active interest in the world around you, and would have a lot to say.

Suggested forms: Panda, Arctic Fox, Domestic Cat, Wood Thrush, Spitz dog

Considering that Kalerian is an American black bear, a distant relative to the panda, this pretty much hit the nail on the head. It did take us a while to get there, though. The results were also very accurate as a basic run down of my own personality. Carol is awesome.

Ah~ Then the only trouble I have is figuring out what behavior/emotion is caused by the disorder. xD I don't take meds as that's one of the things that really stresses me out (From what we know, I've got two anxiety disorders) so I'm really not sure what I'd be like on them. I haven't experienced normal levels of anxiety since I was pretty young.
So I'll probably just go with what I know and adjust later if needed.
