Is Illumiere a mermaid?
Any of my babes would be fine!
Answer: Cataclysm is an angel. His hair is naturally blue because he’s basically an angel sent out to help with depression (basically).
Hello and welcome!
This is a question game specifically for talking about characters' physical appearances. Their outfit? Their hairstyle? Their scars? An accessory they always wear or a sword they always carry? You get the idea.
15/02/2019:
To help clarify what kinds of questions are allowed in this game, I've made a list of correct and incorrect examples! Hopefully this should help out anyone who's stuck thinking of a question!
Format example:
Person 1's post: Why does Spike have a necklace of house keys? Edit: Adder got the scar during a criminal job that went a little wrong.
Person 2's post: Where did Adder get that scar from?
You can post IC if you want the next person to question a specific character, or you can post OOC and let them pick for themselves. If you post IC, try to stick to characters that have something noteworthy in their designs - while there's nothing wrong with more plain characters, it can be hard to think of an interesting question about them.
-Rules-
1. Stick to the theme of the game. Your post must include at least one question related to the character's design. You are allowed to ask non-design questions as extras.
2. Don't be rude or passive-aggressive towards other people or their characters in any way.
3. Wait for at least 3 people to post before you go again (unless over 12 hours have passed since the last post, then it's fair game for anyone).
4. All characters must have at least one, SFW art piece. This means characters with no art, or only 18+/filtered art, cannot be posted. You are allowed to skip people if they have no art or only 18+/filtered art.
5. Please do not post the same character repeatedly. This is to lessen repetition of the game.
6. Do not skip people (unless they're breaking Rule 4). Even if the above user has blocked you, that is not valid reason for skipping them.
I actively monitor the thread for rule-breaking, but if you think I missed something, please PM me and let me know.
If you break rules: Depending on the severity of the situation, I may either PM you with a warning or immediately ban you from the game. Regardless of severity, you can be banned if you repeatedly break rules.
(Psst @unikels - this is a thread for design-related questions! If you could either change your question or add another question that's about a character's design, that would be great.)
My question for you: Is Cataclysm an angel or do they just resemble one? Also, is blue their natural hair colour?
Armin's preference for using his hawk form is mostly just a matter of convenience - he likes being able to travel around easily, so being able to shift into a bird is useful to him. As for why that particular bird, I think it was probably just the first one that came to mind the first time he used it.
For Anita - I'm still working on her design (I still haven't gotten to making her a ref XD) but I'm thinking she probably wears the same outfit as everyone else in her school, as that's their uniform of sorts. It's pretty much just a light pink/reddish-brown dress with white frills/collar, long stockings underneath for extra warmth, and simple shoes. It's really nothing fancy and it's not the kind of outfit she later wears as an adult, but it's only school clothing, so she doesn't think much of it. As an adult, she takes to wearing much more colourful and expensive garments. However, she does slip a few personal things into her normal school outfit, such as her headband and nail polish, which aren't part of the 'uniform' but designed to make her stand out a little more.
For the next person in line, please skip asking a question and simply post with a character you want the next player to ask about (or post OOC and let them decide). Thanks!
Well, guess ill go since the last asker didn't ask about the design ;;
Anyone is fine with me! But please stay away from the (semi)open species folder
That's a neat question.
Since the cape is up for storing any form of liquid, breaking it would realease all the liquid it holds, turning it into a normal cape. Disturbing the water would also disturb bluem since it's almost apart of their body. Though invisible, bluem is made out of water too! If you touch the cape or bluem, you'll feel water like texture. And ofcourse, you'll get wet lol. However, noone is able to pass through the water stored in the cape, unless you're able to control it. Otherwise you'll end up breaking it
About Bluem: So you mentioned that Bluem is an invisible water child, and their cape seems to have formed a body of water in place of the invisible person beneath it.
What happens when this water is disturbed, touched, or broken through???
Canthus's species actually has opaque claws and spikes that have a lot of small holes all over them.
Well, these claws and spikes are filled with a deadly neurotoxin if they break skin anywhere. The reason they're on his front legs is that they're incredibly soft to absorb shock easily from his running, but this was also a great way to take them down, as it was easy to get through the flesh and take them down. So those spikes are there to protect them without taking up too much of the fleshy area.
As for Moza, I actually remade him after finding a sketch that 6-year-old me made! I guess maybe my younger self had drawn him due to seeing too many animal documentaries. My parents were pretty carefree on what I drew as well unless it meant something was wrong.
As for Moza's antlers, they did indeed break a long time ago. He's the one that did it. (Next is a spoiler for slight gore if you want a more detailed answer.)
Something I didn't state in its bio is that Moza is a Wendigo spirit, but didn't originate from a cannibalistic human. Instead, Moza was the embodiment of what a Wendigo was. An icon for a race. But, Moza wanted so badly to look somewhat human so that humanity may accept it. So that it could fulfill its want to warn. This caused Moza to go into a craze and break its own antlers. Later on, Moza attempted way too many skin grafts that ended up in a jumbled mess on its chest and abdomen, since it couldn't tell one color of skin from the other and it couldn't perform correct medical surgery on itself with lack of tools and nimble hands.
@The-Desert-Jasper
About Canthus - Is there any particular reason why his spikes/claws are blue? They're a very different colour to the rest of him, so I was just curious.
For Moza - What inspired its design, if anything? I've never seen a creature quite like it, and I think it looks pretty cool. Also, its horns appear snapped/broken - were they damaged by something or just always like that?
That's actually something I'm still trying to figure out. I originally drew him like that just as a stylistic thing, but now I think I want to make a reason for it. My current idea is that he can't actually see (maybe he has non-functioning eyes, or no eyes at all), and he has an enchanted crown that allows him to see only when he's wearing it. His eyes are covered because he has no reason to show them, they're just a useless weak point to him.
The jewels... I'm not sure. I change the colour and style of them every time I draw him since he's design isn't finalised yet and he doesn't have a ref. XD
For Deborah, what went through your head while designing her? Was she inspired by anything or were you just wanting to design a character?
OOO those are questions I love haha. She's a cyborg! She's mostly robot, thus majority of her is metal and wires and stuff. Her ears are pointed because she is of an alien species!!! Thank you for the questions! ;u; <3
Are the boots and glove things Booger wears just boots/gloves or some sort of robotic limbs? They kinda look like robot stuff to me. And I also want to know why her ears are pointed. Is she not a human?
Any one is fine (although I don't really have many full body refs of anyone,, mainly just busts
Scooper's necklace is actually what he uses to summon his patron (as he is a warlock). It's an amethyst with the patron's lil symbol thing carved into it. As for him being albino, I don't really remember a specific reason. I was trying to think of what Scooper would look like and stuff and I thought that him being albino would be cool I guess. It's kinda ironic considering he's super stealthy despite the fact that he probably stands out too much to really succeed in stuff.
(I really like Phoenix's design so I'll ask about him!)
What is the accessory in his hair, and does he always wear it? Is there any particular reason you decided to make him albino?
(Edit: Whoops, I didn't intend to copy your albino question. XD)
Actually, despite their name, not all of the Skull Tribe wear skull masks (though lots of them wear jewelry featuring bones and/or teeth). Only about half the members choose to wear masks, and none take it so seriously as Rikk. (He literally never takes it off in public.) They wear them just to distinguish themselves from other roaming tribes who may live in the forest or mountains, though there aren't many of them.
As for why I wanted him to have a mask... Well, Rikk is based on a character from an old game, Banjo-Kazooie.
I loved the game as a kid and wanted to base him off of that. Hence the fact that he has red feathers, also. XD
How did you decide on the skull mask for Rikk? Why do the Skull Tribe wear them-- to look fearsome, their religion, or another reason?
For me, anyone from the Catband tag is fine: https://toyhou.se/hedgemaze/characters/order:images/folder:all/tagged:catband
(I'd answered a similar question in a different thread once, so some of this is lifted from that:) The whole character concept for him and Les Revanchistes was inspired by an incident when my friend and I were in high school, and running around the neighborhood like the teenage idiots we were, wearing all the Halloween costume items from my basement that we could manage: among them, a felt Christmas reindeer antler headband and a child's toy fireman helmet. A guy yelled out of the window of his pickup truck that terrorists like us are what America stands against... which was an insane thing to yell at teenagers in stupid costumes, but it made me think, what if I played that guy straight and he was right?
So I did. I made Luke's into a real, full-sized fire helmet with actual deer antlers bolted on later, especially when I was trying to make the characters in a WWE video game and that's how the helmet and antlers looked layered, and I really liked it: it's less of a joke, and it's in this realm of bizarre/vaguely threatening that suits him. He likes the silhouette it makes down subway tunnels.
what made you pick the helmet and deer antlers for CHIEF? im just curious

Historia It's actually a long-sleeved shirt! a lot of people always get this confused with bandages, you're not the first one. for what's underneath it's mostly just crack like markings on the skin the full version with markings is here! originally, she was a BATIM oc who then became my persona for a little while (that's why her nickname is lollback), and is now a character in my webcomic.
@LOLLBACKED
How come Lina has bandages that cover her arms? Is she hiding something underneath such as major scars, or are they just there? Also, what inspired you to make her design?

To the user below: Be careful on who you pick, since some of them aren't designed by me.

I, unfortunately, have no idea why I gave him a crown, but I gave him a crown because I felt like it. I don't know what else to say about it rip. ;-;
