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

[bear]

I have a small question about the 'settled' and 'stable' and what their differences are?
I'm currently on settled, I'm guessing, but I wanted to know what stable is too, as I'm not sure and they sound similar to me. c:

As daemonism is based off a concept in a book some terminology is borrowed so in the community:
When someone is young and their personality is still being shaped, they are "unsettled".
Older people who have found their form and their personality is fixed are "settled as a (animal)".
Older people who are settled, but have no form yet are "settled unknown".

Newer terminology includes "stable", which is to have enough of a fixed personality to fit a form but the individual believes that they are not beyond changing in a few years time to fit something else. Some people are happy using "settled" for this, others believe settled sounds too definite. "Fluid" is also used a term roughly meaning "not wildly unsettled but not settled/stable, either".

I'm stable, as I've found a form that fits my personality perfectally, but I'm still young, and my personality may still change, thus I am not settled.

Okay, thank you!
I should say I am stable as I am young and my personality may change too but my dæmon kind of refuses to ever be a different animal from an owl so that would be why I am confused x3.

Your daemon is a glorified imaginary friend, so even if you were settled as an elephant, your daemon could still appear as a butterfly, but saying you were settled as one wouldn't be true. c:
If that makes sense. cx

Aah yes! Thank you for this c:

RA coming through! Beep, beep~

Okay, so sociability first.
On the Internet, I'm more than likely to warm up to people much more easily than in real life. Somehow it's easier to get to know people there, haha. Anyway.
Real life. Okay, so I'm very chatty and talkative to those I'm very familiar with, like family and close friends. With strangers, I'm shy and reserved. I don't talk much then. q:
What's next? Uhh . . .
I'm not fond of crowds. Never been. So much jostling and pushing and . . . okay. I don't like crowds and noise. I like it quiet, not much fun trying to draw or write when it's noisy!
Ooh, that reminds me. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE COMPUTER. WHY DOESN'T IT SEE "REMINDS" AS A WORD? I like to make up solutions. See that "Q" and ":" over there? Yeah, I was trying not to make a smiley.
I suppose some might say I like the sound of my own voice. >.< They'd be kinda correct. I'm proud of my singing voice. I can imitate Annie Lennox's voice in the Into the West song! 8D Oh wait. That's not related. Sorry.
I adapt to changes very well, though somewhat slowly. Noooo, I'm gonna be embarrassed if I tell you what happened. No. I'm shutting my mouth up. Nothing you can say can change my mind. -clamps mouth tightly shut.-
I'm not exactly fond of children, but I am if they're not droobily or bratty. Eugh.
Okay, aaaaand. Now what. Ah. I try to keep a positive attitude when everything's all . . . depressing, but that always ends in me getting all negative, too.

Hurmrhrm, is this enough info? o///o

This is very brief and quite short in terms of what I'm used to seeing in an RA (for example: what your five most prominent personality traits are, how aggressive/hostile you are, how cautious/wary of new situations/strangers you are, how impulsive you are, etcetc. Daemonsandanalyses on tumblr is a good place to look around if you don't want the hassle of signing up on TDF.

Though from this roe deer seems like a safe bet, I suppose.

Maybe I'll redo it later. I'm tiiiirrreedd,

[Johnkat]

I started an RA, and it's on Google Docs, but I am so lazy that it's probably never going to get finished.

[please delete! 535]

Re-done RA over here. Hopefully it's more detailed than the last one. >.<

I'm pretty talkative around family and friends. Because, you know, I'm familiar with them. I don't talk much around strangers, though, they're not people I'm close enough to share stuff with.
You could say I'm, er, uh, "territorial." I don't like it when others handle my things, family or not. Because they're mine. xD
I suppose I have kind of a short temper. I snap easily, even if it's over a simple thing.
I admit I like the sound of my own voice. o3o I like to sing. xD I often try to imitate the singer's voice as best as I can. Okay, a starling just passed through my head. xDDD
I like children as long as they're not little bratty devils. And if they're not whiny little spoiled crybabies. Really, I don't see how cute that is . . . .
Ain't clumsy. Certainly not. I swear. Okay, maybe a little clumsy, anyhoo, I'm pretty good. I don't fall over my own two feet, though. -trips.- Scratch that.
I'm a smarty-pants, I admit that. I mean well, though! I try to tell my cousin our puppy is fragile -- boom, he pushes her over, once again! Oh, really . . . .
I should say I'm more of a solitary type. I'm fine with groups, yeah, but I prefer to work by myself or with one or two people.
I don't brag, however, I do like to tell people about my accomplishments. I think it's fun to share them with others and hearing about theirs too!
I am not okay with large crowds and loud noises. It's annoying! Especially if you're trying to think!
Smoke, dust, and other stuff don't sit too well with me, either! Ick.
Eheh, I hate tight spaces, but I'm not afraid of them. As long as there's room to breathe and it isn't stuffy in there.

Dear lord, I hope this is enough. o3o

^ Some tips!

Firstly, liking [to do] something might be part of your personality, but it's not part of your behavior, if that makes sense? There's no personality typing system that I know of that types "extroverted sedentary likestosing." :P Then also, we don't like to factor intelligence into forms, for a number of reasons. Your definition of intelligence may not be someone else's definition of intelligence, and also, it quickly becomes really insulting? "You're not smart enough to be a [raven or border collie or african grey elephant or dolphin or whatever]" or "check out the cow analysis, looks like it could fit you [cow analysis explicitly has points about cows being unintelligent]" is not really what we aim for, y'know? Unless you meant that you like to flaunt intelligence and I misread, in which case wow, sorry! Flaunting is definitely a personality trait.

So what I've got from what you've posted is that you're gonna be on the less social end of the spectrum (though maybe not strictly solitary), territorial, possibly reactive, adaptable?, and optimistic I guess. That's not near enough info for a good suggestion. xD Many rodents fit those traits, or, yeah, maybe male roe deer? Dunno much about them. These are the RA formats we have listed on TDF that are generally pretty good for getting suggestions (the Mewsly is the best one, which makes sense as it is the newest and the only one that gets updated at all), and this is an example of the Mewsly format filled out (please ignore the apr first comic sans and images), to give you an idea of just how much ridiculous infodumping people are used to reading in a reverse analysis. That's my RA there, I spent months on it, it's 7-8 single-spaced pages in MS Word, and I still don't know what animal fits me. :P If you don't have time/patience for that (understandable) I'd recommend looking through the most recent posts in the Yellow Pages to see what kind of traits people boil down personalities to; that should give you a good idea how to sum up!

(As, uh, an addendum, you don't really need to be this hardcore into form-finding if you don't want to be, haha! This is just how I go about it. If you wanna go more gradually or whatever that's cool too! :B People will pretty much accept any form you want to claim as long as you can explain it well enough and it reasonably fits.)

I often do tell people how smart I am in a . . . roundabout way, I supposes.

Oohs and aahs! -scans eagerly.- I'll go take the Mewsly one later. Or tomorrow. Darniti'msolazy.

Oookie-dokie!

[Beebs]

I haven't honestly bothered trying to start an RA for a couple of reasons.
A) I'm still young, and rather influential. I think I may be settling into who I really will become, but you never know!
B) I'm in a... rather difficult spot in my life currently, one that I'm too young to be dragged into. I haven't found the time to do much.
C) I'm lazy. So lazy. I'm a procrastinator. XD I'm better off waiting until I'm older and I'm not such a bump on a log.
