Default What's your Daemon?

Mine is an Ocelot named Vyena. I am, it seems, responsible, modest, solitary, assertive, and humble.

A chimp with a name I can't pronounce or spell. I'll stick with my thieving cats Zoe and Kaylee, thanks.

Your daemon is Eumelia, a domestic daemon.
You are assured, timid, modest, passive, spontaneous.

Eutropia, the tiger. I am "assertive, modest, responsible, dependable and sociable."

Tigers are sociable?

A tiger named Melania. Wonder if that's a Unix daemon?

The profile says I'm modest, shy, competitive, responsible, and sociable.

So that makes me a Melanialist, eh? Well, allow me to boast to anyone I meet that such a thing is not my doing, they win, and I'm going to a be hermit for the next year.

BTW, to paraphrase Kaptain K, the site, as with almost everything else these days, is overproduced.

The repeated minor third is kind of nice, though.

Agreed - it strikes me as something produced with no sense of care of bandwidth or loading speed.

I got an osprey called Hermestra.

Apparently I'm "Responsible, solitary, a leader, softly spoken and modest".

Man, there's LOTS of daemons out there.

Which reminds me of the story about the rather corpulent actor playing the lead in Don Juan. At the climax a trapdoor opens on stage to draw the Don into the underworld, but he became stuck halfway down and couldn't move in either direction. At which point someone in the audience yelled, "Hurrah boys! Hell's full!"
