Sha'thar of the Gosht Kohr Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Anyone else out there have images representing their races? Here's a picture comparing sizes. I did indeed choose 'elepantine and larger' as a species trait. I suppose this is closer to being 'brontosaurian.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-t-akua Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Ack. Nice kitty, nice kitty. I am the average humanoid in that picture. I am glad you are in the Senate Sha'Thar. (I will look for a picture of a native Hawaiian or Inuit for my picture.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Carpenter Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 My avatar is close, we are an empire of computer geeks. we can eat anything, but do not like it too hot or cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orin Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 Am more a bi-ped Cat. On the large size (10+feet) but very agile and have SHARP claws Love the cold (home is a methane frozen land..go figure) and nothing makes us feel better then a nice hunk of fresh meat....mmmm meat.

ali-t-akua Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 I am still looking for that Inuit picture On my HW, Nitrogen freezes in the winter and boils in the summer I am on a Methane frozen world too but I guess the laws of Physics dont apply. Methane freezes at 90 K. My HW mean temp is 64 K. Of course I have Semi Liquid oceans of Hydrogen but Hydrogen boils at 21 K. I guess that ocean is really cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WKE235 Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 I'd say the Avatar I was given pretty closely comes close to the Concordium (racial description below from set-up). "The Concordiates are one of the less intimidating species in the galaxy. Smaller than average in size, they appear at first glance to look like cats walking upright but having lost all of their fur. Unlike cats, though, no fangs are visible and the upper paws look like fat fingered hands. The most striking feature are their eyes--the large, glowing orbs seem to almost pulse with a hint of the power behind them." Interesting.... Three huminoid, Three Cats so far (of course getting one cat in a count for Gosht Kohr is understating the count). Note -- Since I'm smaller than average, the Concordium would be about the size of one of the forepaw nails in the Gosht Kohr picture. Yikes!

The Benthis Collective Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 We have been inspired to update our avatar. This image is representative of the Benthii. The Benthii are super intelligent amphibious cephalopods of average size possessing ten tenticles. The Benthii breath O2 and swim in H2O. This picture of my lovely spawn mate was taken shortly after my election to the Office of President of the Collectivity :lol: Senator Logion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T'Lariss Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 Well lets see My Guys are probably about 1/2 the hight of the Great Cats but nowhere near as good looking (Hideous features), Defensive Spikes and Heavy Plate, most of my points went into regeneration. I am personally a lousy artist so I will not attemtp to draw my race but my Avitar is a fairly good approximation (If you add a Skull Crest). I have been hoping to run into the Gosht Kohr so that we could test ourselves against the Greatest of Cats and see if Regeneration can counter their massive size. It ought to be fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sha'thar of the Gosht Kohr Posted July 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 T'Lariss- That -would- be a sight, wouldn't it? Your armies and those of the Gosht Kohr, facing each other on some great plane, ala 'Braveheart.' Perhaps with some poor third army of humans right in the middle... with something we both want? Regenerative, hmm? Eat all we want, you'll make more? I'm more concerned however about how my people would fare in space combat. Combat simulations a friend is doing with someone -he's- met suggests that those species modifiers -Really Matter- when technology is similar. I'm beginning to hope that one of the first races I run into is one of those space-combat juggernauts ( you know the type, all floating brain, sensory organs and tentacles ) who need someone to provide land-muscle for 'missions.' The Gosht Kohr are good old oxygen/water critters. He may be able to broaden their temperature range on down the line. Anyway, it appears that people have given good thought to 'who' they are in the game. Coolness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Uriel Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Well, I keep having trouble with using the pic. that I want for my avatar in addition to simply pasting a copy of it here. If any of you are familiar with Warhammer 40k, just imagine an entire race of space marines. My people are descended from genetically augmented humans who were stranded in a remote system when the last galactic civilization fell apart. We may not be very tall, or reptillian, but we are faster, stronger, and harder to kill than your typical human.

Sha'thar of the Gosht Kohr Posted July 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Lord Uriel- I would be glad to assist you with your avatar, if you wish. After getting your avatar down to a reasonable size, you'll need to upload the file to a host where it can reside, and have a URL address. Then you'll need to follow the steps for making it your avatar here. The process is similar for posting pictures. Once you have a picture you want to share up on the web somewhere, you can paste the address into the field you get when you click on the IMG button when you create posts here. Keep said images small, so folks with slower connections can view them painlessly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T'Lariss Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Sha'thar It would indeed be quite the sight. I am hoping for something similar for, as like you I suspect, we put all our inital thoughts to Personal development and not Tech development. (that is I spent all my set-up points and had nothing left for tech). I to am looking for one of those floaing brain types to team up with for the same reasons (that and I never cared for the taste of Brains). :lol: Oh and we may end up in conflict as I too am a Oxy-H20 type but the advantage of regeneration is good colinzation skills. May your battles be glorious and your victories sweet (Unless you are facing me of couse) T'Lariss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternusIV Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Inuit? Cool That reminds me of some great lyrics from Frank Black (one of his solo albums - post Pixies) thalassocracy Wait It isn't so great Since you learned karate chop You're walking machs And I'm just swimming in the slop You wave your wand at me And make me dance flip-flop I want to sing for you And make your head go pop The Inuit man Had not so much a Caesar He had provision Say You're spraying in the windy And I'm just pissing off I'm literally deaf down here From your canned philosoph Softly can you hear me Through the sucking of your quaff I'm Thalassocracy And you're just Romanov **A thalassocracy, interestingly enough in the SNROTE context, is a state that uses its navy to project its power and to unite various possessions that are separated by water Quite a picture there, Sha'thar My actual icon is the closest I can come up with -- an underwater plant race.

ali-t-akua Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Inuit? Cool Well initially I thought of my race as Polynesian since I have chosen a colonization focus and the Polynesians were great colonizers but once I got my set up and found that I was on a very cold HW I obviously had to pick a humanoid group that was well adapted to the cold.
