If you want a description to work for multiple races, just make it as vague as possible. It's not very hard. You could also just make aliases or triggers for quickly or automatically changing descriptions for different races.

I was just wondering, does anyone find these people and tell them how silly they are, maybe try and help them make something better? I'm not bothered by something like, bright pink hair, it can be done, and Achaea isin't IRL. A bright pink Raja doesn't seem right, but that is possible too I guess. A Kittavian? No. A Rajiren? No. Mhunatyr? No. A Siren with "_____ 's Bitch" tattooed on her rear? Poor taste, and I will warn everyone away from them, but it's a Yes... Spelling mistakes, sure I'll let them know, suggest a difference maybe.

QUOTE (Dardanus @ Nov 13 2009, 12:20 PM) *
Here is my character's current description:
He is a Human. Short and rotund, he is nearly as wide as he is tall. Long black hair is pulled back into three tight ponytails, one atop the other. Dark brown eyes hide beneath a strong brow and an angular nose. His face is mostly shaven, but a jagged line of facial hair extends from his ears to his chin and then hangs a few inches below.

I'm interested to hear any feedback on your perception of Dardanus based on this description. I want to convey that he is a portly guy, and I figure that the description needs to be somewhat caricatured in order to do this with a short amount of text.

Two questions in particular:
1. Do you *really* picture him as wide as he is tall, or do you simply picture someone obese?
2. Is it unbelievable for a fat guy to have an angular nose?


For some reason I'm picturing your character as Kruppe from the Malazan Book of the Fallen, minus the ponytails and plus some pastry stains.

whoa, I didn't even think of that. Pretty sweet. I usually tend to forget that Kruppe is short and fat.

Ylgor is a Schrodinger's alt. He's simultaneously everyone's alt until he is perceived by another player in-game.

He is a tiger-like Rajamala. His achromatic fur is drawn taught against his
slender frame, revealing the lithe muscles beneath. An ebony piece of worked
leather contrasts against the ivory hair laying against his back while
constraining it at the nape of his neck. Heavy eyelids mask all but the
briefest flashes of emerald as his eyes flick to and fro.



Probably not the best, but it's a start.

It beats He is a tiger-like Rajamala. .

He is an insectoid Horkval and is Clementius.
He is wearing:
a bejewelled blue leather scabbard,
reinforced war boots,
a sailor's shirt of linen,
a white winter coat,
an Umbrinite military backpack,
a sun-bleached pirate hat,
a pair of dark, sepia leather gloves, and
a bag of stasis
