Twilight the Lycalo/Featured Article Interview

April, 2014 Interview
 Twilight the Lycalo 

  Happy April Fools, everyone! I hope you enjoying your prank-filled day. This month's theme is Fursonas, the very representations of our fellow users. There was some interesting entrees, but the one that came out on top is Twilight the Lycalo.

Twilight is a blue, butt-kicking lycalo (a wolf-bat hybrid species made by the character's creator). He has a simple but stylish design that has a great color scheme. His backstory can be summed up as "spectacular". He has a well-written personality section and his powers are pretty neat too. He is an awesome character and you should go take a look at him.

Let's interview Twilight's creator, True Lycalo!

1. Q) Where did you come up with the idea of Twilight?
 * A)The idea for Twilight (much like my other characters) was done by a complete spontaneous thought. It was a week before Halloween of 2011 and I began to think of how awesome it'd be to have a character relevant to the haunting holiday, preferably a Werewolf or Vampire. I remember literally being kept up until 3 in the morning getting the basic concept down. The character was originally something akin to Nightmare, then was changed into someone more friendly and was ultimately given a personality identical to my own. After a couple scrapped contents, Twilight the Lycalo came to what he is today.

2. Q) Are you currently satisfied with how he has turned out design and story-wise?
 * A) I am heavily satisfied with how my wolfbat has turned out. I've been told his design is a little bit simplistic, and it did bother me a tiny bit, but I've grown to like it and have no plans to change it. His backstory is something I'm proud of as well and required some effort, as this is actually my third attempt at his history.

3. Q) Do you have any future plans for Twilight?
 * A) I do have a fanfiction in the process at the moment, which is going to be 4 or 5 parts. Twilight may get his own individual story in these parts, but even if he doesn't, he's still planned to make a major appearance throughout the separate parts. Other then that, I plan on just making small tweaks and changes to his page.

4. Q) Is there any aspects of Twilight that you had sought inspiration for?
 * A) Various Werewolf and Vampire folklore were heavy inspirations for Twilight and I found it interesting to blend the two together in the way I did so. Actual wolves and bats were a tiny inspiration and helped add a little bit more depth to the character. Aside from that, there was no real inspiration per say, as previously stated, he was just a spontaneous thought.

5. Q) How does Twilight usually start his mornings?
 * A) Well, Twilight first starts off by having a hearty breakfast while watching the sun rise as sleep doesn't exactly work for him. Since his wings ache to fly throughout the night, and he can't do that for a specific reason, his first order of business once he sees the sun is to take off to the sky (now accompanied by an oversized stress ball). It also serves as exercise and allows him to be a powerful flyer. He also alternates to running to keep his legs strong as well.

6. Q) What would be considered the highest priority on Twilight's bucket list?
 * A) The number one priority for Twilight would be to find a way to have complete control over his darker self, simple as that.

7. Q) Since today is April 1st, does Twilight have any pranks he plans to pull off today?

Twilight, much like myself, would find it to be too expecting. He'd probably have a few pranks in mind, but wouldn't go through with it. He's only mischievous in thought, not action.
