Introducing Creek - updated

quadraptor's picture


Creek is a new character I made. Right now he's still a fawn, but I plan for him to be a stag when he grows up. I've been trying to decide what I want to do with him, though - I definately want to play him differently than I play Quad.

I was considering having him as my more mellow deer (I originally said Quad is occasionally anti-social, maybe Creek can take over this role if I want to be in the Forest but not necessarily dancing or being crazy). I also was trying to decide what set would fit him.

I was definately thinking about the antlers with the red and blue feathers on them, but as for the mask and pelt I don't know what direction to take.

Anyway, if you have any ideas, let me know. Creek is occasionally in the Forest so if you see a fawn with the picto above, then it's me as my new deer.

--update--

I think I have an idea of what I might do with Creek. I didn't take a screenshot of it but I was thinking the green pelt with the pink belly, the curly white antlers, and the "antelope mask" - the one that is flat and looks like a tiki face.

I also wanted to ask everyone what they thought if I also had another character that was a doe? I know it's usually okay for female players to play as male characters, but I wasn't sure if it would creep anyone out if it was the other way around. I don't know a name yet, but her set would probably be similar to Quad's but with the "doe antlers" instead of his Antelope or DotD antlers.

In real life, there was a peculiar deer that lived around my place. It was a doe, who always wandered around with another doe, not sure if they were her fawn or mother or sister, or what. Her neck...her neck was bent. Maybe at a 45 degree angle, she had something sticking out of it, and it was peculiar. But, she never seemed to suffer at all, and I grew fond of her.

I named her Creek. (sometimes pronounced crick, as i pronounced it for her at the time, due to the 'crick' her in neck)

The hunters...they all knew her. They all wanted to shoot her, to 'put her out of her misery'...though she wasn't at all miserable. She was in no pain at all, she seemed peaceful.

And one day...we realized...she was gone.

I can't wait to meet Creek!

I can't wait to meet Creek! Smiling Is he related to Quad?

As for his look, I think the whistling mask is nice for mellow deer. I have Laruna wear it when I feel like being quiet and calm. I love pairing it with the peacock feathers and the peacock or red swirl pelt (but he doesn't mind looking a little girly).

If you want, I can cast a bunch of random spells on Quad next time I see him to help you model. Eye

Anzel - I'm so sorry!! I

Anzel - I'm so sorry!! I didn't mean to bring up any bad memories, although she sounds like a wonderful deer!

Runa - I haven't decided yet if Creek is related to Quad. If he is then I plan for it to be a big part in my story, but I really haven't gotten that far. I was actually thinking about the whistling mask - it was really Quad's "first" mask when he became a stag, and I loved it paired with his black and white pelt (just like in your avatar, by the way). The peacock feathers are also one of my favorite pairs of antlers, so that's definately a consideration.

I was also thinking about giving him a mask or antlers that you rarely see anyone wear, perhaps the "antelope" mask (from the TEF encyclopedia of sets). I've also always been fond of the "antelope" pelt (also known sometimes as the "chipmunk" pelt - the light brown one with the white belly).

I also always wanted to make a Pronghorn Antelope deer - perhaps the antelope/chipmunk pelt with the Beluga antlers, and then I could decide on a mask.

But I dunno... maybe like you said we could model Quad, and then I could always save the spelldata for Creek if I decided on anything. Eye

Nah, it's alright...I just

Nah, it's alright...I just planned on one day making a secret deer named Creek <<;

Well, that plan was ruined.

Hmm...

Nah, it's fine XD; I'm not

Nah, it's fine XD; I'm not mad or anything.

I just need to think of another deer to eventually make as a secret deer.

Hmm.

Oh wow! Y'know what's

Oh wow! Y'know what's funny-- when I had Runa wear that pelt, I started wondering where you'd gone. I even thought about dressing up as Quad. Not even a week later you posted on the forums. Smiling Runa's "first" mask was the Kabuki one. I hardly ever see other players using it... which I find kind of strange? I like the idea of the pronghorn antlers with the chipmunk pelt! But I'm not sure which masks to suggest. If you ever want to model for Creek, just scratch the ground near the trees or a sleeping deer. I don't want to bombard Quad by accident. Laughing out loud

A chipmunk pelt would be cute :3

I've got Quad's sets saved

I've got Quad's sets saved so it never bothers me if his look changes (or if he loses it like today Eye )

By the way, I was showing my brother the game so that's why I did the sit-down slide thing. He was laughing very, very hard at that Smiling

I never see anyone around

I never see anyone around with that tiki like mask XD I was wondering about that too. It sounds like a nice set ^^
And I don't think there are any problems with a male playing as a female o.o'.. My boyfriend does it all the time. (At an rp, silly!) You should do whatever you like ^^
