I was actually just bored with this argument. You guys can't comprehend that you're wrong, and you keep trying to come up with lame arguments that make it seem like you didn't even read our posts.

But now Oblivion refuses to work. *sigh* Quick, post something else we can argue about.

How sad, I felt like that the entire time too.

I said post something else. Don't you see the edit?!

Psh, I am writing on a book and forging. Therefore, my only chance at having fun is this forum.

Two off-topic posts have been moved to 'Deleted Content'. Please keep this related to the topic the creator intended.

They were completely related to the topic on-hand.

Not necessarily. You could use reincarnation as a plot point to relate that you were born a certain race, told Atropos the wrong thing, and realized it at a later time. However, to use that as justification for Illithoids that have features that they shouldn't by reincarnating from human to Illithoid is wrong. As is, in my opinion, carrying over physical traits from your previous race to your current one. If you reincarnate, you're getting a whole new body. You don't keep specific traits (i.e. scales, wings, fur, etc.) unless your new race also has said traits. So unless you have a pre-existing race that has tentacles and assuming Illithoids can, with time, develop tentacles, you're not going to have an Illithoid with tentacles.

EDIT: I'm surprised at how much this conversation seems derivative of "Illithoids are just Illithids that the designers stole, so they should have tentacles." Common sense, people.

EDIT 2: The best source of what a race should look like should come from in-game NPCs that are that race. (I know, people have been arguing that on this thread for some time.) The character art only shows one aspect of a race - and in Lusternia, aspects like guild and city can have a major affect on your character, noted by the "specialized" races. Some races that have subspecies or varieties (for lack of better words), like Loboshigaru or humans, are obviously not defined by the picture on the site. Humans are not all Geomancers with a vein problem nor are they all that shade skin. Loboshigaru are not all wolf-tribe, nor do all of them have brown-ish pelts. Hell, some people roleplay paws instead of the hand-claw type... erm... hands shown in the artwork. Whatever POTENTIAL Illithoids might have to grow appendages that the NPCs don't have would have to come about after generations (after all, 16 years is only going to result in half-breeds, so the Illithoids probably won't change too terribly much after such a short span of time? Unless you want to get extreme, I suppose.)

I have to dissagree with this sentiment.

i.e. the idea that 16 years later things are different.

When Rowena and the Fae guy created ShadowLord Faelings a few things happened.

First off, in less than 3 months, Shadowlord Faelings went from non existant at all, to suddenly being all over Glomdoring. Rowena and Laerdoc(sp?) apparently had hundreds of children very suddenly. I.e. even when people didn't reincarnate. Ontop of that, Rowena had twins, and those two children became the guild tutors of the Shadowdancers and Blacktalon. Bomani however was not one of Rowena's child, but seems to be old and batttle worn as if he has lived lifetimes, even though 3 monhs prior, no Shadowlord faelings existed.

Just a couple things before I stop posting in this thread:

1. Saying "I'm done with this" does not mean I've conceded defeat. Were I to concede defeat, I would have said, "I concede defeat. U r teh ub3r l33t gods of descriptions," or something to that affect.

2. I was tired and had work. So sue me.

3. My giving up had more to do with being sick of your immaturity and your need to be right than my being wrong.

4. I still think I'm right and you all are being prejudiced OOC about something in game.

5. I ain't changin' anything and hopefully neither is Dsiri or anyone else who has a unique description. If every Dracnari was green, I think I'd shoot myself...or just quit playing...one of those...

In conclusion...

Grow up plzkthx.

Oh, and make sure to get some of that enzyte for you e-peen. It's obviously not big enough.

lol, bitterness ftw

lol, reading skills ftw

He is a sinuous illithoid and is of a olive-grey appearance. Beneath his strechy
leather-like skin, diaphanous pulsing lavender veins glow softly. He has deep,
sunken, crimson eyes. His tall, lanky body seems frail and weak. Totally bald
with no ears or nose, he is truly a freakish aberration. He is wearing a silver
torc, and a set of deep green greatrobes detailed in silver and emeralds.

good/bad?

There are no incorrect body parts, but it could be worded better.

If can be worded better, why not help me out? Thx

Looks fine. Not so hot on "freakish aberration", but it's not bad otherwise.

I'll try:

He is a sinuous illithoid and is of a sickly green color. Beneath his leathery skin, diaphanous veins pulse with lavender blood. Upon the neck of his spindly figure, a ghoulish parody of a head sits. A pair of sunken, crimson eyes glare about from above a lipless mouth full of razor-sharp teeth. He is wearing a silver torc, and a set of deep green greatrobes detailed in silver and emeralds.

Err.....

sorry I asked....

Hey, I'm glad I found this topic and would like to make my character's (Illithoid) description open to suggestions to improve it.



I know it isn't very good, but it was whatever occured to me at the time. My idea was that to make my character convey a feeling that folks were standing before a utterly hideous abomination. A tumor that needed to be extirpated, someone so pathetic that you'd feel compelled to kill him or just keep your distance lest you get infected with something. Should I make it longer and describe the maws, for example?

EDIT: Fixed some things.

At least they don't have something like this going on

Don't forget the tender flesh of her well-formed breasts!
