They wear homemade animal costumes and also move like their favorite animal. Furries hot these disguised legged stuffed animals. 2,000 of them currently meet in Neukölln Estrel Hotel for Eurofurence Convention.

Predators, foxes, wolves, tigers, and here and there an idiosyncratic mythical creatures, the main thing a lot of fur and fur. In the Estrel Hotel on Thursday afternoon it looks like on a costume party on the subject of animals. Hundreds of people lounging in colorful fur clothes at the entrance and in the lobby, they pose, hug and take pictures of themselves. Some wear even a stuffed animal under his arm.

You are Furries. Thus, the global movement usually called young people who like to dress up themselves because of their love for animals as animals and spend their leisure time in the self-made fur dress or like to draw animals and cartoons and make costumes. To Eurofurence convention, Europe's largest meeting of its kind, more than 2,000 furries from thirty countries in Berlin are the same arrived, also from Japan, Brazil, Russia and Norway. For the first time the global meeting place here, in front of the community met in Magdeburg.

Spend about 500 euros for the Furries in the coming days at the Estrel and experience there is a full program, modeled on the American crime series, CSI Berlin under the motto is. A molecular biologist talks about securing DNA evidence, animal lovers donate to a bat project in Erfurt. There are workshops for sewing their own costumes, shows, concerts and dance competitions. 300 Artists occur. Also a flirt and Introductory Course will be offered. Because even Furries can be shy. And prefer to stay anonymous.Fixed rules and roles they have not. "Everyone shall determine for itself what a Furry he wants to be," says Michael Graf, one of the organizers. And everyone Furry associate with a particular animal also special properties, says Earl. Think of the cunning fox, the lone wolf and a cat that moves elegantly. These movements can take on in his role. "And then you can dive into his fantasy world."

In this world, a woman who calls herself Tshania moves. She is wearing a large cat's head made of white faux fur. The big cats eyes are so realistic design that makes you feel observed. Tshania is 27 years old, comes from Hesse and works as a Women's Clothing Tailor. She is for the first time at a Furry meeting. "I think it's great that everyone is so open and loving each other," she says. She was even more introverted.

In fact, the scene is like at the Estrel a big cuddle party. Hugs, kisses, Streicheleien. The Eurofurence Convention is a gathering of two-legged stuffed animals. You can see happy faces when they are not hiding under an animal mask. Tshania says, her costume did she dedicated her dead cat, with whom she has lived for nineteen years. Seventeen animal costumes has now made Tshania. "I'm having fun in dressing up," she says, "but I'm also like a man."

There are circulating so strange stories about the estimated 8,000 Furries in Germany. Some would spend whole weekends in costume, literally live out a fetish. One is reminded of the movie "Finster World", in which the policeman Tom, played by Ronald Zehrfeld, in pink bear costume with other furries meet in a secluded hall. A police officer in a bear costume. Funny.

"Some people react funny and find what we do, unnatural," says a man who Quack, the Husky is called. Therefore, he wants to tell anything definite about his private life. Only so much: he was twenty years old, working in Hamburg in the environmental and love dogs. Quack should be a naughty dog, with thick, strong legs that can also dance well.

Then Quack takes off his thick dog's head and stroking the sweaty hair to the side. A pleasant young man comes to light, open and confident. "My parents are surfing when they were young," he says. "And I wear for fun sometimes just a dog costume."

Hey guys, I have been here for a while and I've come to the conclusion that I would LOOOOVVVVVE to become a furry although I would like some question answered please

1. How do I make a fursona? (Inboxes would be great)

2. Is there any limitations for a fursona?

His real name is Thorsten. But here he is Coltlan. Like most he has passed his real identity at the door. Thorsten is shy, has few friends, is unsociable. Coltlan however, is communicative, smiles to all, accessible. Trustful, one would have to say, because Coltlan is a Husky in human size. In it, Thorsten infected, but this is not important here at all, how and what he wants to be. A 1.80-meter-tall Stuffed Husky on two legs is not something that would be more than 2000 people who have come together in Neukölln "Estrel Hotel" at the Sun Avenue to "Eurofurence" irritate.

Since Wednesday, the lobby of larger than life foxes, cats, wolves and dogs is dominated in all colors. They stand in groups together, entertain and embrace, and there's a communal atmosphere. For the 20th time, Europe's largest gathering of supporters of the so-called Furry genre is already taking place, and it still serves to Sunday all the lovers "anthropomorphic animal beings or animals with human attributes," as co-organizer Jörg Reuter describes it, to also times personally acquainted. Because the exchange is normally run via social media.

"Furries are people in animal costume," said Reuter. However, the term also describes the whole community, which since its creation in the 80s defined by an interest in fantasy animals in text, sound and image. About half of the Furries is German, the rest comes from all over the world. "We have Americans, Russians, Belarusians and Ukrainians, who easily together eating breakfast and talking about art," Reuter describes enthusiastically. "This fascinates me as the love of the Beasts brings together the people." As a harmonious family gatherings be it here, the Furries he actually looks as an artist community. There are graphic designers and illustrators, but also bakers, merchants, and IT specialists who meet here.

Seminars, stories, Party

At the convention the Furries do together what they normally do at home alone, here in the form of lectures, workshops and seminars. One can learn to sew a costume to move in costume to draw characters and stories devise around them. And with all learning very important: Party! The Furries are nocturnal, and the evening is the life really begins. "It's surreal at first, when a bunch of people moving in the fur to techno, but it's just great," says Reuter. That here just a few freaks dress up as their favorite stuffed animals, he finds "unacceptable escalation". There were quite a few that would identify "very" with their figure. "But for all, it is of course the ultimate running around in a costume," he says. And also a real challenge.

This proves impressively a green fox on the way downstairs to the toilet, curved like a sickle, because only a vertical view of the stages saved him from falling down. "You have to imagine that, like looking through two toilet paper rolls," Kathi aka Sinea describes the still running around in civilian clothes, their view of the fur. "The eye slits are small and you really have to watch out that you can not be dropped." Then they must take as furry supervisor. It leads the Furries through the area, ensures that they drink enough and admits chairs out of the way. For Werefox, a relatively natural, red-brown giant fox, which is very important. He is deaf and dumb and is only dependent on these slits in his senses. But he was with heart and soul into it, for three years, he signaled with his big paws.

When people barely friends

Werefox enjoy the freedom to be here, who he wants, translated Sinea. "There is a tolerant atmosphere, which is why we also have a large proportion of gay and bisexual men here." The ladies share the other hand, is about ten percent, and Sinea know why women of such meetings away sooner. "In costume, people feel free," she says. And some female furries were the cuddle ambitions of their male counterparts just too far. So the men thus remain largely among themselves, and Thorsten aka Coltlan enjoys the sense of community.

"As a person I had previously barely friends," he says. "Through a TV report I have become aware of the Furries and got me in March at Furbase, an Internet platform account." Since then he meets, the gardener is during the week, on weekends with other furries and running in costume through the city. "I trust in my costume much more, can better reach out to people and have more confidence." He enjoyed the attention of the people, especially the happy children when they see the huge stuffed animal. The question of his true identity, he can not answer clearly. "I am a human being. And a passionate Husky."

Okay I find myself new to all of this and I do like my fair share of anthropomorphic furriness but I lean more towards the half human half animal kind. Foxes are cute, kittens are adorable, but mostly i'm heavily into COWS! They don't have to be lactating but I just think it fits my personality perfectly. I like big curvy half human half cow girls but

• what is the term for the half anthro's (if there is one?) ?
• And is there a community of fellow barnyard cow lovers out there or am I a minority?
• Are halfs considered furries too or is it a totally different community that I don't even know about?

Here's a picture of what I mean WARNING NSFW- http://i.imgur.com/33YxGYb.jpg

Sorry if this has be asked previously, I couldn't find anything about it on here myself.

Hi, I am new to this. I have had friends in the past that were furies. So I know a little bit about thw community. I have looking to find conventions in my area as finding people who are into this. I am not looking for a sexual partner! I am not looking to spend a whole load of money making a costume either. As of now I see my self as a red fox, but I might be a morphing furry. I am looking for people to talk to about this and making friends in the community. I don't really like the fan art. I feel like I tend to find the more immature crowd there. Any websites you can recommend? Thanks!!!! If you have kik, lets chat. (Galacticgirl.) Period included.

Hi! Just starting a story (its gonna be long) the theme is the Assasins Creed universe with a furry twist. Thinking that it should revolve around a group of 4 protagonists, already have the first one. This is where I need input! Like, your fursonas (characters), ideas, opinions ,corrections, honestly anything. Already wrote a good page and a half. So here it is so far:

[WARNING WALL OF TEXT INCOMING]

Mathias wakes up, startled by the chime of Big Ben. He realizes that it was almost time for his introduction into the Creed. As was a trained fighter it had only taken him so long to get into the Order because of the anomaly that happened in the previous year. He remembers that today marks that same day, which had changed him forever. Flashbacks start to unfold in his head: London, England October 21st 1765; he was making his way back to his townhouse in the center of the city, hoping to rest after a long day in Parliament. Suddenly, came a vast and beautiful stream of bright gold light across the sky, after it had passed over him he was seeing strange symbols form right in front of his eyes telling stories that have been lost in many generations. Mathias fell to the ground overcome by the severe knowledge and understanding of what has happened and what is to come, pictures of animals and their clans flying across his vision, seeing his ancestors and many others who share the same fate brought together. In a second of relief, he saw a vague shape of an animal, slowly bringing itself into focus, an Otter, and the Order of the Assassins insignia and then a bright flash of light.

As he remembers he feels his body, another flashback hit him like a wall. Mathias completely remembers what happens to him that night. Before today it had seemed like a dream. After the visions cleared, he tries to stand, but a sharp pain went down his back and all over his body. He looks at his hand, noticing dark brown fur ripping across his arm, causing a painful strain and the sense of itching in the effected region. It comes across his body now, feeling pain everywhere, making his body taller, skinnier and more agile. His hands begin to web; he had a feeling of it making its way down to his legs, making them webbed as well. He now realizes what is happening to him, he is becoming an Otter. In a mass amount of pain he feels at the base of his back, a tail starting to form. What emerges from it is a long thick tail of an Otter. Now the final changes set in, he begins to feel it going up to his face, making it a complete transformation. It starts pushing his face outwards and creating a muzzle with new sharp teeth, he then feels his ears adjust to the top of his head. He can now hear and smell more acutely. Just as he was getting up, a line of white fur appears down his back. He starts to get up; he falls several times because of the new height of his body, his tail, and a changed center of gravity. Once he has done so, he admires himself in pure disbelief. He then looks at his thick tail of his new form; it feels like he has had it forever although it was a new appendage. His whiskers then grow right in front of him and his eyes turn a dark blue, making his transformations complete.

After admiring his new body and regards how it compliments his skill set, he hears in the distance cries of many others, shouting out in pain and excitement for what they have become as well. Citizens begin staring at him with weird looks and other people yelling at him. Some were beginning to become hostile and grabbed anything they could, royal guards began to advance in his direction. With his clothes in ribbons, he thought to himself “What have I become, why has this happened to me?” with his new instincts he quickly made his may to the edge of the river under London Bridge and jumps straight into the water and does what Otters do best, swim.

He had made it far enough away from any sort of guards in a matter of seconds. Mathias thought, “I need to find a church, only there will I be safe”, he made his way to the closest church he could find. He gets out of the water and under the cover of dark; he made his way to the front door of a church. Exhausted because of the sheer panic and adrenline, he collapses in the middle of the main hall right in front of the reverend, who had tried to keep him from falling. He looks Mathias in the eyes and says,

“My son what has befell upon you on this night, what is your name my boy!”

Mathias simply replies, “Father, My name is Mathias and…” and he faints.

Over the past year he has been helped by Reverend Thomas to understand what had happened, he needed to change his name so no one could know who he is, and trained everyday to justify to the Assassins that he is still able to fight in his state as an Otter. From what he could decipher from the visions, is that his family tree has been chosen to take part in a great battle by the ancients and will become one of four heros of light to stand against the dark. His name is now Alpha.

As Alpha comes back from the long stream of flashbacks, he sees Reverend Thomas above him, as he has fallen to the ground from the memories.

“My son, are you ready?” Reverend Thomas inquires

“Yes…. yes I am” replied Alpha

“Then put on the appropriate garments and make your way to their grounds, they will be waiting”, says Thomas

Alpha gets himself off the floor stretching his body, his tail, his paws, then puts on the Assassins robes he was given and makes his way to their meeting grounds, right under the parliament building.

It been a year since the anomaly that brought man and animal together, and people are still learning to accept it. As Alpha walks to the Parliament buildings, he notices… (And this is where you come in! enjoy!)
