The Golden Compass

[EDIT] Apparently the site no longer allows you to take your dÃƒÂ¦mon and let others try and change it. Best guess, it must've been causing a server overload with these things popping up at forums and web blogs everywhere. [/EDIT]

(Caution: Long-loading flash site with some scholarly speech.)

I'm still looking at the site, but from what I can tell, it's a movie about some hero little girl, likely making it a children's movie in the veign of Lion/Witch/Wardrobe and others of recent. The movie apparently takes place in a world where people's "souls" are actually animal companions called "dÃƒÂ¦mons" (pronounced like "demons"). These animal souls change based on the being's personality and changes as the personality does, until they're grown up and settled on a personality. Oh, and the dÃƒÂ¦mons are almost always the opposite gender of the person it belongs to. It's another one of those movies that's based off a book I've never heard of and won't be coming out until the end of the year, but whatever, the concept sounds interesting to me.

Of special interest is the site lets you make your own "dÃƒÂ¦mon" using a personality quiz, and allowing others to change it by saying what they think of your personality. Best part of the quiz, it has a "neutral" option for all the questions. Might be fun, so if anybody wants to join in and create some dÃƒÂ¦mons of their own, by all means.

Anyway, here's mine (hover to recieve extra info and a link):

(Starting off as an Ocelot DÃƒÂ¦mon. This is the second time I've taken this thing, and last time I got ermine, but I've lost the link.)

(PS: Alt + 145 makes the ÃƒÂ¦)

Heh, sounds interesting

I'll probably end up going to see the movie. I'm a big fan of fantasy books/movies... but everyone else around my place seems to like horror books/movies.

Such is life...

So I take it then that you and Sum don't want to allow others to alter your DÃƒÂ¦mon forms.

BeautyQueen · **Posted:** May 11th, 2007, 11:31 pm

Oh, yeah i guess you're right. I just chosed the second option and i didn't know that it could be altered...

Is there any way to change it by any chance?

I dunno. That's one reason why I re-did mine.

Zombisem · **Posted:** May 12th, 2007, 2:06 pm

zomg? i didn't know it could be made unchangable ;_; maybe i'll re-do mine when i get on a computer that can handle it. that's too bad. (currently on library computers, slow as you wouldn't believe, this thread scrolls like there was strobe lights installed)

I think this is dumb. I tried it. And I keep getting the same stuff for my self. And I did Lantis and I got the same animal for him to.

The white dog.

Is this a movie thats coming out? I see the girl who played Queen Amidala, is in the photos on the web sight. I notice the mole on her check.

I found the trailer..

It seems if you look at the 2nd trailer. And that one is much better. This movie will be out on Dec. 7th.

ErikaFuzzbottom · **Posted:** May 12th, 2007, 6:04 pm

So, you're complaining because it gives you an animal you don't like?

Kittykicker · **Posted:** May 12th, 2007, 9:19 pm

No. I'm complaining that I keep getting the dog no matter if its for me or if I'm grading someone else's animal.

If it means anything. The trailer seems awesome and I would see it when it comes out.

ErikaFuzzbottom · **Posted:** May 13th, 2007, 12:12 am

I'm a freaking spider! I hate spiders! Oh great, now I'll be scared of myself!

I'm sure the dog thing is just a coincidence. If anything, let us see your doggie soul and we'll change it for you.

I changed my own and got a lion.
But I still answered truthfully.

this really isn't a long loading movie. It maybe your connection. There has to be something wrong with this flash it ask me the same 3 questions I already answered. Anywho here is mine I will post the others later.

this has to be the gayest inaccurate flash I've ever seen.
