Have you tried commissioning a fursuit? (A feathersuit?)

Nah, he’s just cooler than me. Funnier than me. Stronger than me. Nicer than me. Also he has a shadow version of himself he can summon and has a talking moose named Sailor so… And who the fuck doesn’t want to fly?

That’s a pretty cool sounding fursona!

It’s funny everyone so far has called the character a fursona. Is the main purpose behind a fursona to try and be the fictional character? To hide yourself behind a constructed façade? To be swaddled in blankets of paracosm and derealization?
These are only half-rhetorical questions. I don’t understand furries or fursonas.

A fursona is just a fictional anthropomorphic character. They might be a representation of the creator, an idealized view of what they wish they were, or just something they like. There’s no real guidelines for what they have to be or how they have to be used; when someone has an interest in a fandom which is based in fictional characters with certain characteristics, the logical next step is to create one or more of those characters of your own design; that’s all a fursona is.
It just sent me because OP’s description of their D&D character:
Nah, he’s just cooler than me. Funnier than me. Stronger than me. Nicer than me. Also he has a shadow version of himself he can summon and has a talking moose named Sailor so… And who the fuck doesn’t want to fly?
is basically exactly what you’d hear from some furries describing their fursonas, and the expressed desire to be that character is also a pretty common furry trait, as is the commissioning of art of fursonas.
Didn’t mean any offense by it if OP doesn’t wish to be identified as a furry, the parallels just struck me as obvious and funny.

Nah I don’t mind it for jokes but I’m definitely not a furry. Not like there’s anything wrong with it, just can’t say that I am in the ranks of the glorious.
I would argue that my description applies to most peoples DnD characters in general though. That’s why I was confused by the furry stuff at first. Because my buddy who plays a half elf says the same thing about his character. Is he an elfie? The other one who played the goblin says the same thing. Is he a gobby? I chose aarakocra because I thought it’d be cool race to play outside of the typical humanoid ones. The wings were a bonus. But I want to be him because of his personality, not necessarily his looks. I just put his art in because I paid for it ages ago and don’t get to share it often.

Understandable that you wouldn’t be familiar with it, but you could replace ‘D&D Character’ with ‘Fursona’ and post this in any furry community and it would be perfectly at home; the ‘Waking up and I’m still not my fursona’ theme is a pretty commonly used meme. That’s all there was to it, really.
It’s okay, though! You don’t have to be a furry if you don’t want to be.
I’m just teasing. -

I’m just teasing.Oh don’t worry, I’m not upset or anything lol I’m more than aware it’s just teasing and jokes
Besides, nothing wrong with being a furry anyway so no insult to be had.That’s fair though. I hadn’t really thought that. I guess considering it is a bird that really does push it over the line. Thanks for clearing it up lol

Me playing a rogue with a tragic backstory who’s constantly looking over his shoulder so he doesn’t get stabbed in the back by the many enemies he has:

My D&D character is just like me with extra trauma. I’m not sure that’s worth the magic lol

And who the fuck doesn’t want to fly?
Me. I’m afraid of heights.

That’s okay. The denial phase normally doesn’t last that long

Man, I am so happy not to be one of my Characters. We are playing a Dungeon Crawl Classics funnel atm and I am pretty sure, most of the poor lads will die a horrible death.

The trick is to play characters who are just worse versions of you, who compensate with an Axe or dragon grandma.
