Cool little cartoon Avatars

Squirell gets to set terms (at least according to Tieran rules)

so weapons only. no monkey business...
 
Squirrel wins... unless the sarr is steve babin...
 
Oooh.. I really need to stop playing with that site...

Queen Titiania (as played by me)

And I have a TON of NPC's I've played that I can do this to... uggh.... evil site.
 
and

The Jerusha sisters! 8 year old Emily and 20 year old Franklyn! Just peasants I had some fun with. My NPCs always come in sisters! This is my surviving siren:



You're right, these things are addicting!
 
Here's Erethizon. Played as a scavvy since his race, Cuulanni, has porcupine-like quills in place of hair. I could only pick gold to get the quill look in the avatar, but it should look like this . That's him on the right with the shield and studded club.
And here's my un-named, un-played Platypus scavvie. White marks are tribal paint, the hand weapons should be boomerangs (thrown weapon).
 
Absolutely. I'll have boomerangs for thrown weapons. I'm also making a bullroarer to carry around and use in the mornings and evenings to ward off evil spirits....like that will work. LOL
 
That is awesome! I was thinking that if I ever made a sheep scavenger, that she'd have some sort of African type background with face paint and lots of the traditional stuff. With drums! :D

Do your research and pick an appropriate breed of sheep. I actually carry around a picture of the specific vulture species that Gyps is supposed to be. That way when people ask what they see I whip out the picture and say "One of these things!". Well, not exactly that, but you get the idea.
 
Thought I'd post a pic to show what Gyps (see sig) actually looks like IG. I couldn't find the proper rep for grey across my head, so I used brown, which is what his body feathers would be. The skull on his walking stick was a gift from his teacher. The life of that creature was very important, but his teacher hasn't told him the lifestory yet (i.e. I need to write the blasted thing)

 
The beak works, too. I walk and talk like a muppet. Bobbing as I go and sounding like a cross between Yoda and the Skeksis for DARK CRYSTAL. Staying hunched over enough to look like a vulture for an entire event really kills my back and neck. Gyps won't be back IG until Justin/Tetsu hauls his Orc butt back from Tennessee or whatever state he's be banished to by work.

Did you make the beak yourself?

Got it here. It was designed as a horror prosthetic and I adapted it for a vulture. I wasn't looking for a vulture but when I saw it I said, "Oh, I have to do this!"

That's also where I got my raven mask for Madcap (all in black, obviously). They have a lot of good pieces for scavvies.. Apparently they just bought somebody else's stuff because there are a lot of new pieces on the site in a slightly different style
 
There are indeed many cool animals. I've considerd rat, skunk, spider, mantis and even Red Panda. Almost more important than the coolness of the animal is the character angle you'll need to create. Scavengers are a roleplayers dream. You can get alot from real-world descriptions of the animal but the trick is to translate that into an awesome character. With too little inspiration you can wind up playing what might be better off as a one-shot NPC.

I really feel I found a great angle with Gyps and his people, the Life-keepers. Translating the vulture association with death into a culture that has the utmost concern for the precious nature of life ws one of those "Yeah, this it it!" moments for me.

BTW Whenever HQ has another low-level event, that's when I'll be breaking out my Playtpus. Anyone who wants to go all out with Aboriginal costuming* and prosthetics (for realism) AND can do a passable Aussie** accent is welcome to join me. Any dingoes, kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, wombats, emus. bandicoots, tasmanian devils, frillnecked lizards, quolls, pademelons, bettongs, etc out there just waiting to come out and play?

*PM me if you want info on this
** If it sounds Cockney it's a no-go. New Zealand acccent is close enough to count though. Watch all the extras on the LOTR dvd's to practice that one. Peter Jackson and those WETA guys are Kiwis through and through!
 
OMG!! A frilled lizard... charge toward battle - pull a little string under your chin to make the frill pop open and do the little sway-run toward evil!! I love it!
