## Actaeon's Physical Description from FurryMuck

Actaeon is a man-stag, and when not on FM or enslaved to RL, can occasionally be found on Sleepy's Forest, Lintilla, or ASB. He is bipedal and has the torso, arms and hands of a human (because hooves are sooo awkward to cuddle with :). The rest of his body, including all the best bits, resembles a bull elk (red deer, to you Europeans), and his regal head stares down at you through piercing brown eyes which, though they appear impenetrable, also seem to whisper, "Try me...."

Even more noticeable than his eyes are his impressive antlers (6x6, to be precise); they are heavy and formidable, with tannin-stained main beams and off-white tips, polished to a high sheen from his constant thrashing of saplings and whichever hapless trees are nearest when he feels the rutting lust overpower his senses.

When conditions warrant it, Actaeon may doff his humanity entirely and turn himself fully into a stag, weighing in at around 900 lbs (400 kg). In either mode, everything about him is proportional, well-developed, and ready for action. Don't let his weight frighten you, though -- Actaeon can be very gentle, and he prefers a soft caress over brute force (the saplings may, of course, claim differently :). Actaeon is also partial to white-tailed deer and on occasion he may assume the shape of one, either anthro or otherwise.

Like his mythological Greek namesake (the hunter whom the goddess Diana changed into a stag when he saw her bathing), Actaeon is a hunter, and when in man-stag form he can often be seen carrying his longbow (another advantage of hands).

In RL, Actaeon is a (probably) straight zoo: straight with humans, but bi with animals (esp. dogs & horses, although he would love to meet a wolf or spend a night cuddling in a deer park :). While Actaeon's online character tends to follow those same orientations, he recognizes that there's no such thing as "normal" (especially on the Internet :), and his imagination has been known to go further than his RL player would dare. So ask him...he just might. :)

Actaeon is in his late 20s and lives in Oregon USA; his e-mail address is actaeon@iname.com and his web pages are at http://come.to/actaeon.

#### Actaeon's Smell Description from FurryMuck

Actaeon smells slightly musky, like a bull elk in rut. Okay, I guess that's not "slightly." He's actually quite rank, but in a sexy way. Like there's any other way for a bull elk to smell but sexy. :) Take a good, long, whiff: you know he would. :)

    | Actaeon was the Greek hunter who angered Diana and was changed into a stag. |
    | While his ultimate demise was sad, I envy his all-too-brief transformation. |
    |  In RL, Actaeon is a SWM Oregon zoo in his late 20s; he likes all animals,  |
    |  especially dogs, horses, wolves, and (in his dreams, anyway) deer and elk. |

## Actaeon's PGP Public Key

PGP, which stands for Pretty Good Privacy, is what's called a "dual-key encryption system." Basically, it lets you e-mail encrypted data from one person to another, and the encryption is essentially impossible to crack. In order for someone to e-mail you PGP-encrypted data, you must create a PGP Public Key for them to use, and they must send you a copy of their own public key. Both sender and recipient also have private PGP keys which they do NOT give out to anyone else, under any circumstances. In this way, it takes four "keys" (two public and two private) in order to decrypt files. This explains the high degree of security associated with PGP encryption.

## Actaeon's Hanky Code

Left: Dark Brown Fur

The hanky code is a discreet way to advertise your sexual preferences in a crowded environment, by hanging colored scarves or other items from your back pockets. It appears to have started in the BDSM community, but has since expanded to encompass almost every conceivable parameter. For various charts of the codes (mostly the same, but a few of these may list items not covered elsewhere), click here (slow download: lots of thumbnails), here (text only), here (text only, sorted by color), here (text only), here (text only), here (text only) or here (table).

## Actaeon's Bem Score

Actaeon's Bem Score: 38

The Bem Score is a measurement of a person's masculinity or femininity, and is based on the Bem Sex Role Indicator. I'm not sure exactly what use this information is in the real world, but I filled out the questionnaire out of curiosity. Over 20 is masculine; under -20 is feminine. For a sample form and a more complete explanation, click here. (I've been unable to find other Internet sources for this information. Any of you have better luck?)
