Lol I'm a furry so I'm obviously a fan
My primary character in the
Into the Black RP series on this forum was an anthro fox, a corrupt police officer named Emilena. She was fun, I improved a ton as a writer through playing her over those years.
I think anthropomorphism is great for taking some of the restraints off storytelling and exploring more specific facets of the human condition under a microscope. Animals are very one-track for the most part, and so many exhibit their own specific personality traits that make for wonderful characterizations, it's a very useful medium for learning the nuances of writing and having fun at the same time.
