My brother was the first one of us to buy an Animorphs book. It was In the Time of Dinosaurs, and he got it because he, well, liked dinosaurs. For his birthday he got #1, and I don't remember how I was hooked, but I was, and I don't know how he wasn't hooked, but he wasn't. I can't quite remember how many books had been released by the time I found them, though I was in about 5th or 6th grade - late 90's. It didn't take long for me to catch up and have to wait anxiously month to month. I began to outgrow them, technically, but I continued to buy each new one, and was utterly heartbroken (as was, funnily enough, my father) when they ended.
My favorite character from the beginning has been Jake. I like something about leaders. My favorite X-Men (X-Man?) was Cyclops, so there was a bit of a theme. And Jake got to morph into a tiger. And he had book #16, which was my favorite number.
I can't pick a favorite book.
I can't even count how many Animorphs dreams I had as a child, and they occasionally resurface now.
Other than that, I'm an underemployed recent college graduate with a degree in psychology who wants to be a paramedic and just discovered SCUBA. If I could choose any animal to morph into, it would be a humpback whale. I work mall security at the nation's largest mall, am an EMT-B, and I have an insatiable appetite for books, which I credit largely to the Animorphs series. I still have every book, but when I packed them up I couldn't seem to find my #52. And my heart broke a little when I first realized many years ago that Applegate didn't write all the books herself.

Welcome to RAF, Seroci. The forum with it's own mythos.
I am known as Cloaky the Great! Okay, no one really calls me that. I just couldn't resist that joke. It's just Cloaky.
Now, what's your RAFspecies? We all have one!

*Standing in front of Seroci* I hope you enjoyed your visit. Oh, and I also invite you to add your species on this list: http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,2154.0.html (http://animorphsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,2154.0.html) 'coz everybody isn't Human here. And we like to know who is what... For example, as you'll probably see, I'm a Controller.
Now I have to go.... *Beginning to go down dark stairs. Seroci can hear a cry coming from the cave.*
Oh, sorry for that, Visser 7 is... well, you know... or maybe not... but you don't wanna know...

Have fun!
*Dameg disappears into the darkness, Seroci is now alone in the hallway*

Welcome to RAF! I'm Gaz, nice to meet you!

Hey! Welcome to RAF! It sounds like you'll fit right in here. Find some topics, share your opinion, have some fun.
It's definitely good to have you. Hopefully I'll see you around RAF ^_^
-

Welcome! We're excited you're here. :D

Welcome to RAF Seroci. I'm Shorty-of-the-many-names. Hope you like RAF.
-
Welcome to RAF! I'm Jess, the other RAF teacher. :P
-
Hi, welcome to RAF! I'm VisserZer0 (obviously) or V0. I DO NOT appreciate the names Visserf*ck or Newpersonvisser as some have enjoyed calling me (not on RAF, of course).
Anyway, I hope you enjoy your stay here!
-
Who called you that way and where?!!! It's horrible!!
Well, I'm also very often insulted on YouTube, but I don't care lol
-
Just some motherf[extreme censor] idiots over at FanFiction.Net. I thought their community was rather insulting. Anyway, it was no big deal. Kinda funny, actually. ;D
YouTube has lots of idiots, unfortunately.
-
Yeah, I know ^^' I already have a little army of Andalites who want to destroy me. But that's OK, they can't find me ;)
-
So Dracon them down, mwahaha! Or you could choose the crazy-suicide attempt of infesting them.
-
Don't worry, some of them won't have the chance to insult me again.
