What's an Anthro Cross? Medal Order of Sable Productions
(formal) Medal Order of Sable Productions
(standard)

   The idea came from scrolling through eBay one day searching for 18th Century German Decoration Medals and reproductions.

   Sable Production's order is a mix of Royal German and classic design. The navy blue symbolizing our website colors. The crown that's attached to the upper cross gives it's royal class. In the center the "L" stands for "Ludwig". Inside the white circle at the lower half are the words "für die brut des sables". Which stands for "for the breed of the sables". At the top of the circle are the words "Ludwig van Göff". On the left and right side of the upper cross are two golden Sables. On the left is Abel and the right is Ludwig. The "2001" standing for the date of which Ludwig, or the one wearing the medal became apart of the Anthropomorphic community.

As you can see, there are three types of orders. Formal to the left, standard to the right, and the neck ribbon campaign below; which would mostly be used for conventions. Abel DuSable also has his own medal order. The only difference is, his name and initials are to be replaced over Ludwig's. The date would also be changed. His medal would be known as "Order of DuSable." For short, the Medal Order of Sable Productions is just simply titled the "Anthro Cross," on the count of the two visible Sables.

Note: Anyone would be a fool to take this too seriously. Obviously the cross is just used in good fun.

What's a Sable?

    A Sable (martes zibellina) is a Mustelidae, a carnivorous mammal that inhabiths northern Europe and parts of northern Asia. Being about 18 inches long, the Sable can be black or dark brown with grey on the head and tawny on the throat and under parts. The sable ranges from about 32 to 51 centimetres (13 to 20 inches) long, excluding the 13-18-cm tail, and weighs 0.9-1.8 kilograms.

   Having broad, covered with dense hair paws, the Sable can climb trees well, though it prefers to prey on the ground, hunting various rodents and birds. It also can eat fish and carrion, as well as berries and cedar nuts. It's close relations are the Pine and Stone Martens.

   To the untrained eye, Sables are often mistaken for Ferrets. They look like Ferrets, they're related to Ferrets, but they're not Ferrets. Also, a Sable-Ferret is not the same thing as a Sable. They're domestic animals. You can often find them at your local pet store. Unless you live in California or some small town, where they have this absurd law of Ferrets being wild animals and illegal to have as pets.

What's a Furry or Furry Character?

   The phrase "furry" comes from toon animation, where anthropomorphic cartoon characters are indeed funny. It is used more broadly to indicate any animal given human features, or any human, or humanoid given animal features. In the fandom world, der word "furry" is often used to indicate the more serious type of animal, or animals that simply aren't cartoon like.

   Take for instance Abel's
Sable counterpart, he's a toon. He is more of the type that's not bound by physics as we are. For example, he can get smashed, and then blow right back up to shape by blowing air into his thumb. He's more of a cartoon.

   Now, my counterpart Ludwig, is a furry. He is bound by physics. He can only do what you and I can do, und can only live through something that you or I can. He's more realistic, made out of fur, flesh, and blood. It just seems to make my fur persona more like me if he has the same feeling experiences in life as I would. Abel and Ludwig might look the same, but their abilities are different.

What's a Fursona?

   A fursona is an animal being anthropomorphic or non-anthropomorphic that is based upon you. In other words, what you would look like as an animal. An animal that has human features is called "anthropomorphic". Having a fursona usually means that it also looks like, acts like, talks like, and if so, wears clothing and accessories like you.
