I believe the man you're looking for is Jesus Christ, blessed be His name, Amen, Verithrax.

"Lo, let it be known: For you are only mortal, and your works may never transcend my own, 90% of all wrought by thy imperfect hands shall be shit, unfit for man and god alike."

This is how you write a description, all you Viscanti who want to be uber hot. She manages to be really mutated, as Viscanti should be, but is also very attractive, in a twisted way. That or I'm just really ****ed up.

look phaedra
She is a fiendish master viscanti and is an intimidating sight to behold.
Towering over most humanoids, she is covered head-to-toe in tainted ebony flesh
and swaddled in peek-a-boo crimson robes. Vicious-looking horns grow from her
brow, curling backwards into the thick weight of her hair before ending in
razor-sharp points right above her shoulders. Crowned with a wild mane of sable
locks, natural stripes of bright silver streak the coarse-looking strands.
Almond-shaped and unflinching, her eyes are startlingly pitch-black with a ring
of fiery crimson encircling the iris. A cruel sneer distorts her plum-tinted
mouth, revealing the sharp point of twin fangs that dig threateningly into her
bottom lip. Flexing ominously behind her, or held close around her body, are a
pair of leathery bat-like appendages. Silver veins trace through the webbed
membrane of her wings, while talon-like, boney spikes outline the circumference
of them. From the neck down she is truly tainted, being cursed with a buxom
figure that nearly bursts from the tight confines of her clothing. Her rounded,
muscular thighs look powerful enough to crush rocks, while her thick hips lead
into a rippled and flat stomach. Though her feet are covered in even more
leather, it is without a doubt they are claw-tipped like her hands, which curl
lethally around a twisted staff.

*worship*

I'm tired of people portraying Necromancers as angsty faggots. And so here is my good friend Jacob Deegan to dispell any rumours one might have about this great profession.

What comic is that from? O.o

Dominic Deegan! I'm way behind now. I should get back into my comics. sad.gif

Dominic Deegan.

To be fair, that was a rather poorly-edited version of this particular strip. The character in question (though undoubtedly a filthy, filthy emo) is actually pretty badass.
Unknown2006-06-25 02:35:18
That looks really, really, really retarded.

I've lost my faith in you, Jack.

look Klauth

He is a fierce dracnari and he stands just over seven feet tall with very draconic features while the strong stench of sulfur engulfs him. His body is covered in a thick hide of dark emerald scales while his head is crested by rows black horns that curve backwards down his neck and smaller spikes jut from his shoulders, spine and the sides of his thighs. The larger fangs that line the sides of his jaws keep his maw from completely closing revealing rows of deadly fangs that give him a sinister grin. His eyes glow bright red like fiery embers which glare fearless at his surroundings. There is a large mark in the shape of a ball of fire that is branded onto his upper left arm. He emits an aura of great strength his body rippling with muscles that are hard as stone and deadly three inch talons grow from his finger tips and toes.

here is a Aslaran description I'm working on..


He is a regal Aslaran and he stands six and half feet tall at full height. He is covered in a thick pelt of dark brown fur with patches of light beige which is soft enough for you fall asleep on and he has long furry tail that curls back and forth lazily. The thickest parts of his fur are on his forearms and shoulders and he is in great physical shape with thick muscles on his arms and legs and a strong well toned chest. There is red tribal marks painted in a blood splatter pattern across his arms, chest and on the sides of his face. His head is crested by a thick shaggy mane that flows down along his back while the pointed tips of his ears can be seen poking through the sides of his mane. His face is humanoid, but is distinctly feline with a small cold and wet black nose at the end of his very short muzzle. His eyes are bright silver disks that are flecked with bits of blue that have calming affect upon you, also he smells of wet fur and fresh fish.

Reading that ... I imagine some sort of demonic female body builder doh.gif

So many descriptions -swirl- I'll have to post mine after I'm finished with its revision

Need help with a human description.

A man.
Hazel/gold eyes.
Black/brownish hair, long, messy.
Razor stubble on his face, scrubbish.
Regluar build, has a white complexion and is lightly tanned.
Has a mangled right hand.

I'm not very good at human descriptions. Need help!
Arix2006-07-23 03:05:32
Arix is a faeling now, and needs a new description. Here is the current one for reference, in case anyone wants to take a crack at it

and stands with a lanky height and build, the quintessential frame of an acrobat. Silver hair of a muted hue flows down his back in wispy strands, not quite feathers yet strangely alike. Slightly pointed ears remain exposed framing a weathered face that has been nastily scarred upon the right side, following the line of his cheek down to his jaw. Dark green eyes peer out from above his nose which appears to have been broken many a time, forming a slight hook that offers him an ironically avian visage. Most remarkable about his appearance are wings of red and gold, the brilliant plumage creating the illusion of a constant blaze around his form. Barely visible upon his upper arm is a small tattoo, an inscription inked in scrawling lettering beneath it.
Kaalak2006-07-24 06:59:07
Here is my Nihilist's description, feel free to critique.

Kaalak is a graceful elfen and is extremely tall (6ft 5in) and his emaciated frame reminds you of a stick scarecrow. The twisted elfen’s narrow and angular face is dominated by a jaw so elongated it is almost a snout. Kaalak’s lips have been savagely cut away from his face, revealing a bleeding mouth filled with an abnormal number of iron-colored teeth. A filthy rag is tied around his head, serving as a blindfold. There are two crimson stains where his eye sockets should be. His long black hair is pulled tight against his skull and bound in a single ponytail, behind his small pointed ears. Patches of crusty filth cover his luminescent ivory skin. Around his neck hangs a copper wire impaling two shrunken heads, the size of pixie skulls.

And my signature emote: Kaalak bows, bending his spine like an obscene spring, as he touches his forehead to the tips of his toes. His vertebra pop and ripple.

Oka, here's my kraptastic furrikin descript that I'm using now

He is a bouncing furrikin and is coverded in thick, red vulpine fur. His face is has a lovely fox like snout and his chin has soft white fur. At the end of his snout is a little black nose. His leafy green eyes shine with mischieve and cunning, a testament to animal from which he apears to descend. Two lithe arms extend from his shoulders, each of which peaks with a set of razor sharp claws.

Clothes (cause sometimes it's nice to mention a little)
He is wearing a pair of black shoes, an amethyst stud through his left ear, a simple silver hoop through his left eyebrow, a ring of waters, an amethyst stud through his left ear, an amethyst stud through his left ear, a tawdry gloves, a warm tulip of dawn, a diamond ring set in marble, a platinum chain necklace, and sea-blue robes.
