Tux

they/it | amphimorpho (subtype "0")

  • Gender: nonbinary, creaturegender
  • Age: 20s

Formerly human, now a strange, shapeshifting alien after coming into contact with a mysterious virus…though sometimes they question if the former was ever really true. Being a creature’s just felt so much more like being themself than trying to fit in as a human ever did!


You’ve definitely seen Tux around if you’re here…they’re my main fursona and face around the internet, as well as the namesake of my online handle!

The line between “separate character” and “literally me” is blurry sometimes, but generally speaking, Tux is me and I am Tux! They’re the truest reflection of my queer, nonhuman identity, and an outlet for expressing those feelings and desires.

On the surface, Tux comes off as an eccentric, but otherwise average human. They’ve studied to become a biologist, but also have an immense interest in music, performing arts, and fashion in its many styles and forms! Around most folks, they’re generally cheerful, if not a little bit shy and awkward. They’re often seen in fanciful button-up shirts and cozy sweaters, with the signature bowtie alluding to their nickname.

Behind the curtain, they’re a creature with a much more exuberant and zany personality! Some would describe them as lively, charming or even a bit dramatic when they’re feeling truly comfortable in their own skin - the mask is off, and the real show has finally begun!

Interests/Likes

  • Theater, dance, and performing arts
  • Fashion and costumes, drag
  • Art deco and 1920s style aesthetics
  • Music of a variety of genres
  • Plant and animal biology
  • Cryptids and cryptozoology

Trivia

  • Likes to dance, but gets embarrassed when others watch. Their favorite styles are tap, lindy hop, west coast swing, and disco!
  • Decently confident in their singing ability, however!
  • Overdramatic at times…it’s either them living in their head too much, or for purposeful comedic effect, and you’ll never quite know which is which!
  • Favorite musical genres: electro swing, indie pop, musical, new wave, disco, and pop rock!
  • Wouldn’t openly admit to it, but they find conspiracy theories fascinating (not in like the “oh this is 100% real and true” kind of a way, but more of a “huh, that sure is one way you could draw those conclusions”)
  • Their favorite food is banana chocolate chip pancakes! :3
