I want to do this sort of thing with Futurecraft, but we lack universal visual identifiers.
What I need is something to use to represent members, I've considered simply using our avatars, considering only a few of us ever change them much, but there's the trouble of various things like sizes and changing them. I've also considered doing faction flags a la Futureball, the issue lying in us not all having flags. So, we do have some flexibility in that we could simply have everyone post their flag and those who don't make one, or we could simply settle on avatars, or we could do something else entirely which would be up for suggestion. While it's my executive decision as I'm the creator and target audience, I'd much like input from the people who I'm going to be portraying in it. If we want to go for avatars I already have some ideas regarding themes and such.
Thoughts?

If we're going with people-like things for whatever this is, I'm a stormtrooper. Flag would probably be the Imperial emblem in white on a black background. I'm on an iPad for the next while, so I can't easily contribute these things myself right now.

Re: Futurebusa
I think what I would be should be obvious.

Re: Futurebusa
The trickiest member to portray would propably be Lightspeed.
Do we use a grey owl? The Illusive Man from Mass Effect? Someone else? Fedora?

I already have a character description; super techy, flowing white robe with red stripes, very formal and professional, ect.
Re: Futurebusa
Yeah I knew Luna couldn't be my representative forever. There is always this though.

However i'm not sure if I would want to use that or perhaps a quickly whipped up OC. Probably the latter so we can have some sort of conflict.
Scratch that just use the catninja.

Re: Futurebusa
Nah I don’t mind Vinyl, I just can't resist breaking hopes , well I can't break what doesn’t exist ! Do you think there is any hope involved in this project ? Yeah jumped the gun to yell at me ? Think about it, is there any hope involved in the project ? Right , there is no hope , all there is to it is to stand up and do the thing, there is nothing for me to break, at least not until the plans get more complicated
(You know Im not against everything I see)
BTw if you are picking avatars do me a favor select carefully, some of them are not aesthetically pleasing and those avatars you choose will have to remain ... I wonder why do you want to make this anyway Vinyl

Re: Futurebusa
I... have no idea what you're talking about. But I thank you for your thoughts, although I have no idea what hope has to do with anything. Regarding your calling it a "project" is an overstatement, it's as much as project as Futureball. The only complications I can foresee lay in getting voice recordings, and if that gets to be a problem I can just hold off until I get them. To go back to my first sentence, you're assuming I think you're here to wreck my day, yes? I really don't want it to be like that, and I feel sorry for you if you felt I was coming off in any way hostile, if my question if they were negative was that, your text implied you held feelings and ideas that were, well, negative. If you had such feelings, I want to know them, because that means I failed, and I want to know where I failed so I can correct. If you or anyone has ideas for what you should be, I'd be grateful because I'm coming up empty.Iv121 wrote:Nah I don’t mind Vinyl, I just can't resist breaking hopes , well I can't break what doesn exist !
