If You Had to be Trapped...
« on: January 30, 2010, 07:51:43 PM »
What would you pick and why? I saw some people bringing it up on the personal morphs thread, and I felt it could use it's own topic. Either way, not about which would be the best morphs temporarily. For instance, I'd agree that an insect or arachnid more would be great for stealth, but I'd never want to be trapped as one. Also, nothing sapient from the series - it kind of defeats to purpose if you can still be a part of an intelligent society.

So, if you had to become a nothlit, what earth-based species would you pick and why?

What does it mean to be free?

I would probably be trapped as a wolf.  Sure, you might have to fight the predatory instincts, but it's good in battle, and they have a woods right in Cassie's backyard.  There will--of course--be times that you'll have to sit missions out, but that would probably be true if you're trapped as anything.

A big feline or a bird of prey. The stronger the better.

Something domesticated that's not livestock. I want to be taken care of. A cat, probably; I am so jealous of my cat's life.
I go off topic on purpose.

well, not surprisingly, I would be a cat. Either a domesticated/feral cat or one in the big cat family.

I know cats, so I know what they can do. Great eyes for movement. Great hearing. And a great balance. That'd be nice to have.

Either a grey parrot or a monkey. Grey parrots can talk, so even if I'm trapped I can still communicate without using thoughtspeech. Some people might be bugged by that, and it may be better for them if they just think I'm just a really smart bird.

a monkey because of the opposable tumbs. Of course I could go ape as well. I'd still be able to do some stuff a Human can do, like build things and work tools. It wouldn't be a bad existance. I don't know how long monkeys live, though. Parrots can live as long as Humans.

I would have to go with either a bird of prey or a wolf. You get really excellent senses with both. Plus, they'd just be plain fun at times!

A hawk, because flying sounds like so much fun.

No sentient creatures, russian. :P

My first instinct is wolf or bird of prey, but both have shorter life spans which is a downside. I wouldn't mind being a horse, they live longer and they get to enjoy the freedom of running, but they have a prey instinct I would like to avoid.

Going back to the 'bird' idea, I think I would like to be an albatross. They have a rather long lifespan, possibly exceeding that of a human, they are great fliers, and they are rather large seabirds (and I do love the ocean).

I wouldn't mind being a parrot, like an African grey.  They live a long time, are smart, can sorta talk, and don't have to worry about eating animals all the time. 

Either that or a river otter--I love otters, they're so cute, and they know how to have fun :D  Besides, you could probably keep one around as a pet, if you had to.

Myitt shooses the grey parrot too. Cool. Personally I wouldn't mind having something with a relatively short lifespan. Humans tend to live an awfully long time anyway. Wonderful thing about medicine is that we're much healthier in the developed countries, but we also live longer than we really need to.

But then you would have to eat cat food  :P
