#36, "Pico's description"


          

Someone asked this of Mynawk, and I thought posting my description would be a good idea.

Long description:
The Bird of Prey is here, screeching maniacally at you.

Looking at Pico:

Circling above you is a dark, ethereal black raptor. You
definately don't mistake him for being slow in any respect. Watching
him fly around you can tell he is extremely nimble by all the twists
and turns he keeps jackniving himself into. His mind seems to be as sharp
as a razor, seeming to pierce your own mind. You can tell he really doesn't
see everything around him, but with his head constantly spinning around it
looks like he is quite aware of everything he can see and and uses his
smarts to fill in the gaps left by his eyes. Looking at the rest of his
body you are truly and utterly befuddled. He appears to have some of
the strongest and finest armor in all of Thera - maybe even the universe -
but it is in a horrible shambles. Nothing is being worn as you would expect
it to be, it is all in various states of disrepair, and is tarnished to a
blackness that is beyond the retrieval of even the most pure-hearted soul.
The armor seems to pulsate with some of the most virulent and despicable of
intentions and past deeds. The only thing you can truly fathom about this
creature is that now he has turned slightly toward your gaze with a chilling
countenance of his own, made all the more unnerving by the black talon which
still gleams with the blood of a recent victim. You wonder what interest
this awe-inspiring creature could have in you, why he is looking over you
with some sort of interest in you....

Pico is using:
<worn on body> a pair of black dice
<worn on head> an eyeball mounted on an obsidian band
<worn on feet> (Glowing) a Silver Badge smeared with blood
<worn on arms> (Humming) the hyoid of a paladin
<worn around wrist> (Humming) a charcoal black chestplate
<worn around wrist> (Death Aura) a pitch black robe, splattered in blood
<wielded> the Black Talon
<tattooed> (Glowing) the chromatic flame tattoo

That is actually the worst description I've read. Let me explain why.

>

>Looking at Pico:

>ethereal black raptor. You

Right, and if I interract with you in a small cave? Or even underwater? And how do I know you're etheral?

>

>slow in any respect.
>Watching
>him fly around you can tell

>into. His mind seems

same ##### as above. only I can't see why you write it in your description. Do it with emotes man, RP it. This is a cheap ass exit and even though it says in the helpfile you're supposed to write things like "he smiles often" and ##### I cant help but to think that's one bad thing to write, seeing as you should ... well, rp it. right, now I've said it wice.

>to be as sharp
>as a razor, seeming to pierce
>your own mind. You
>can tell he really doesn't

This happens to Shokai aswell when he looks at you? you pierce his mind too?

>see everything around him, but with
>his head constantly spinning around
>it
>looks like he is quite aware
>of everything he can see
>and and uses his
>smarts to fill in the gaps
>left by his eyes.

This is things that he does. again. When will we get a description of how you LOOK? And do you ALWAYS do this? Even when fighting someone, for instance?

>Looking at the rest of

First off, armor issue. Why write about the armor when you WEAR it? SMUG HEAD! it's already THERE. We can SEE on our OWN, thank you very much.

>a recent victim. You
>wonder what interest
>this awe-inspiring creature could have in
>you, why he is looking
>over you
>with some sort of interest in
>you....

What if I don't wonder? What if I know you're here cause I prayed to you to hope for to tattoo me? Actually, how many times are you appearing by people when they don't know why you're there? I cannot think you'd have the time to spontaniously fly around and let people look at you.

And still I have no idea how you look. We've been hinted that it something birdlike. That's everything.

You're correct, my description is not a model for mortals. But Pico is not mortal and, as the God of Chaos, he certainly isn't a model for anyone's appearance or actions. If you see the description as unrealistic, irrational, vague, inconceivable, etc., then you've gotten the point of my description. In the world of Thera, maybe even the entire universe, Pico is the epitome of these things. What qualities that make a good description for mortals wouldn't make the best for Pico.

My description is for my character.
