We tend to take things like names pretty literally

aha... in that way it is not a true dragon but an anthro one... and i already thought you plugged in a real one

That largely depends on how you define a real dragon. If you mean a huge scaled monster which breathes fire and has wings, then it's a real dragon.

I told you we take names very literally.

which still leaves open the question how this guy lines up with the sci-fi setup. looks though like i am missing some informations to get this or it is just meant to not make too much sense

EDIT: i classify a real dragon as something like that (no scales and no fire).

In a bulletin board, people can choose their own avatar. TNM takes place on a bulletin board. SD just chose one that fit his name. Makes sense, right?

yes it does. can you also add your 'own' chara as player or simply 'pick' from those available?

Heh, that *would* be pretty awesome. Alas, it would also be insanely complicated. However, we've modified the DX Character Selection so that you can customize your character to a much higher degree. I think the number of possibilities is currently 27 or something.

*grin*, lucky that i am not on those boards or otherwise there would have been another dragon for you to make

... and i assume under dx it is a bit tricky to make one because if i am not mis-informed it does not have bone-weighting.

I'd rather not get into that, it'd be better if you saw it in-game. Don't expect too much on that account though.

haha... after my knowledge of deus-ex i assumed it beeing very tricky. i guess it does not have the geometry-quality (in terms of poly-count) of my Odjin in that case.

and yes, until i had my dragon working with animations i used up one month for sure.

It _sounds_ latin, but it's not, actually, a latin word. So we get to use plurals that make SENSE. Yay!

If virus was latin it'd be virii, which isn't that weird :p

virus is latin and indeed has the plural 'virii'.

Well... I'd rather not get into that. Let me just say it will not look bad, it may just not be what you expected.
