Title: Different Enkidukai Species
Post by: Kuiper7986 on July 31, 2004, 07:26:34 pm: I believe since a lot of people are going to be Enkidukai there should be like different Enkidukai appearances. There\'s already Lion Enkidukai but there can also be Cheetah Enkidukai, Tiger Enkidukai, Jaguar Enkidukai, Leapord Enkidukai, Bobcat Enkidukai, etc...
Title: Sorta what I was thinking about:
Post by: Zeraph on July 31, 2004, 07:53:17 pm: I think it all comes down to skins, if you are good @ art, & have the time, or can convince other people to make skins for the Enki then it would diversify them more?

I was also thinking of different race-specific skills, like most Enki I assume do not like water or getting wet, but Tigers love swimming in the water, so we could have a tiger-skill that can make them natural swimmers?

I think I am going to try my luck @ making a Tiger skin?
Title: W00t for skins
Post by: Seytra on July 31, 2004, 07:59:29 pm: I think this would be a great idea for any race, not just for Enkis. I mean, humans could at least vary in color and hairdo as they do IRL. Same for elves (the description already mentions different colors) and all the others. However, I think they shouldn\'t be too different because they still are one single race, unlike lions and tigers.
Title: Enki Clans:
Post by: Zeraph on July 31, 2004, 08:21:48 pm: I think with the different skins, we could have different Clans of Enki living in different small villages here & there. It would be nice, each having a little bit different cultural background & stuff, but this is way in the future?

Post by: Fhinias on July 31, 2004, 11:17:33 pm: i already have created several worlds as i practic my drawing and my hability to create original storys, and in that way i created a race similar to the endukai, i mean feline-man, but they all look alike, and to make diferent skin colors just didnt make sense, cause the skin depends in the habitat of the feline, with exeption of the cats of course, so what i did to make them more original was to give them hair cuts(of another color) and keep the fur of course(i took the idea from my dog, he haves really blonde hair in the top of his head, and dark brown fur, and his blonde hair tends to get really long comparing to the fur), and after the hair i split them in 3 others races (wich were separated because of religion) and i put them in 3 differents conditions, the main religion was the one of the blood, and they also believe the skull was the keeper of the soul, and they develop way to actually use the skull as an soul container, and use soul magic and thinks like that, then they had to fight the humans who invaded the lands of the north, and in that long war the sended soldiers got mixed with the human, and form a race with less hair, and a new moral code, and that moral code wasnt about blood and bones, like the original, so the original race and religion cast out the mixed ones, and they start folowing their on religion and costumbs, in other hand, a part of the original race begin to study the reasons and aplications of souls and the skull containers, and develop a form of necromancy, of cource knowing that the rules of the original blood religion woudnt accept their experiment, a groop of scholars request a permit to colonize the lands of the south, and wen they were far enought from the blood priest, they continued developing the bone magic, and create a strong nation to fully separate themself from their barbaric ancesters.......of course the story im much more detailed than that ^^, well, wat i did, was to create a : -almoust human cultured race with less hair -a more refined and inteligent race, darker and all with the necromancy and the bone magic. -and finally kept the original race, who were to close to their own religion and because of that they kept a savage state, and savage appearance.........well i think for the endukai could be somethin like that, intead of making just diferent skills, better to make different clans of endukais(not to diferent from each other, but diferent enought)
and if they had hair cuts, it would be great, but is not really nesesary ^^....
Title: Quick Skins:
Post by: Zeraph on August 01, 2004, 03:12:54 pm: I did some extremely quick skins for the Enki:

basically just messed around with the colors of one of the skins.
They represent; Panther(Black), Ice, & Fire.
I like the Panther best? :]

Post by: FlippySeal on August 01, 2004, 03:19:11 pm: Yes, well the skins in MB well... aren\'t good! But there ok, i mean it\'s in PRE-alpha state!

But yes, I plan on being a Ylian and hope that the skins are better for them in CB...

As for Enkys being popular?? Well they are now, but i think in CB the Klryos will be the most common chosen :D

Post by: Zeraph on August 01, 2004, 03:29:36 pm: I tried to make an \"Invisible Skin\" with an alpha transparency map,
But it came out more Albino:

Post by: FlippySeal on August 01, 2004, 03:56:32 pm: HA! I like that one! Add some stripes to make it Siberian tigerish! :D
Title: LOL!
Post by: Zeraph on August 01, 2004, 04:40:46 pm: It came out more Penciled Scribble:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v122/Zeraph/Skins/Enkidukai/PencilScribleWhiteTigerEnki.jpg)
Maybe a Ink or Plastic texturization will do the trick?

Edit: Ok, I applied a ?Sandstone? to it & now it is starting to look good:

Currently, it looks like it, but I believe that, once there is more than basically doing nothing, the severe limitations of Klyros will become a deterrent for them becoming too popular. Also, they\'ll not be in CB, only due in some update several months after the initial CB release.

Also, they\'ll not be in CB,

Post by: Black_rose on August 01, 2004, 08:09:59 pm: well nice idea. i personaly was thinkind different subraces like vampires and wherewolves that you get from being bitten by one of them
Title:
Post by: Seytra on August 01, 2004, 08:39:56 pm: Well, I wouldn\'t refer to vampires and such as \"subraces\"... they\'d be \"superraces\" (if at all, as it\'s diseases), because they can \"convert\" any of the other races to their \"race\". :)

Post by: FlippySeal on August 01, 2004, 08:54:00 pm: Ahh... the werewolf/ vampire thing. Ever play or heard of Morrowind? You can get this vampires disease and become a super strong character, but have to travel by night and no one talks to you. You can always this cured.
One of the expansions for Morrowind, Bloodmoon, you can become a werewolf... I don\'t know how being a werewolf works in that game.

So yeah a being a vampire should make you stronger, but sunlight should like, kill you!

Post by: Icefalcon on August 02, 2004, 03:46:57 am: In CB, there will be much more costomability for your characters, so there will be different Enki furs, and different Ylian hairdoos etc. You dont need to make whole new species or even sub-species for this.
