Hermit Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 Nighthog looked down on the streets below Menagerie City's Renaissance Center; the gleaming technopolis was abuzz with its usual night sounds. The city's porcine protector ham-radioed to the others, "All clear here. Anything on your end of things, Duckfender?" Elsewhere, over the Theatre District, the metal clad mallard answered, "No fowl play here either, Nighthog. That doesn't mean much, if Doctor Dogtoyer is in town, he's got a thousand ways to hide." Meanwhile, in a tree in Mammal Park, Witchcat wondered if she'd need to get back up. Sure, she could just fly down, but she had made the mistake of looking first. Well, at least Witchcat had a good view of the area, she decided to call in, "Hey guys? I'm at Mammal Park, nothing here but trees and statues." Her whiskers twitched as she spoke. "That is well," IronConch replied, the crab like alien patrolled the northern part of the city, its heavy shell threatening to dig a trail in the concrete. "I still do not understand why he would return? Did he leave something here when he destroyed Dogroit?" "Let's hope not," Duckfender quacked his response, "If he did, this city could be built over a ticking time bomb. Calf-fire, report." "All's clear amigos,"Calf-fire's lulling voice oooed and mooed on her cowmunicator, "Afraid the docks are quiet as a churchmouse, quieter even.Wish K9ek was able to help." "You realize what this means?" Nighthog's snout twitched with frustration. "Yup," Duckfender agreed before the thought was even spoken, "He's gone underground all right." And deep in the shadowy under udder of what had once been Dogtroit, Dogstoyer yipped his curse, "Curses! I had hoped the source of this anoymoly was ruffly here, but no trace. Am I the only one who sees how reality has been tampered with again? Whoever did this will pay, mark my tree, they will pay." The pug-nacious professor of peril tripped over another rock, causing his heavy helmet to flip him over. "They'll PAY!" His howls of fury (or is it furry?) echoed. ............... So, what would your characters be like if they were done in a Captain Carrot and the Amazing Zoo Crew Style? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monolith Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 Hermit, you have way too much time on your hands. Too bad you are not playing in my game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FenrisUlf Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 You mean someone still actually *remembers* Captain Carrot and his Amazing Zoo Crew? Well, my character is named 'Fenris', so I think it's kind of obvious what he'd be... I'd try to get him Farah Foxette as a DNPC though.

Too bad you are not playing in my game. Ah shucks, thanks. Still, no transition for your characters? No "Monowhale" or anything?

Yup, I do...I remember it quite fondly, actually. As a matter of fact, about 6 months ago the PC in my solo Champions game (based in the Legion of Super-Heroes universe) was dimension-hopping, and ended up dropping into a Fuzzy Animal version of the Legion. We had: Legion of Super-Animals: Real Name Hero Name Animal Rokk Finn Cowsmic Boy bull Imra Sardine Saturn Gull seagull Garth Razz Lightning Lark lark Luornu Purr-Go Replicator Rabbit rabbit Reep Wiggle Chameleon chameleon Grim Allon Colossal Boar boar Squirrel Docks Brainy-Quack 5 duck Lar Sand Mon-Eel eel Jo Knaw Ultra Bear bear Thom Kallor Star Fish starfish Salu Dig-Me Shrinking Violet flower Jan Baa-rah Element Lamb sheep Ayla Razz Light Lark lark Wingya Wazzo Phantom Gull seagull Duck Morgna Sun Bear bear Woodchuck Taine Bouncing Bunny rabbit Tenzil Phlem Matter-Eater Goat goat Purra Nal Dream Grrrrl cat Val Armor-dillo Karate Kid goat Prohawktra Princess Prohawktra hawk Panda Nolan Iron Horse horse Tasmia Mammal Shadow Lassie dog Condo Saltlick Chemical King of the Beasts lion Brin Lobo Timber Wolf wolf Drake Burrow Wildfryer chicken Dogstar Dogstar winged dog Blocade Blocade elephant Croc Foccart Invisible Squid squid Hissa Nal Snowmage cat Legion of Substitute Heroes: Real Name Hero Name Animal Brek Bannin Polar Bear polar bear Staq Mavlin Firefly firefly Drura Sehpt Infectious Rat white rat Ral Benem Chlorophyll Kid kudzu vine Peter Dursin Porcupine Pete porcupine Dag Wentim Rock Dove pigeon Ulu Vakk Color Kid goat Lydda Jath Night Owl owl They ended up fighting off an invasion of Earth by Pulsecat Stargrave and the Duck Circle.

Pteryx Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 The problem with "what animal would your character be"... ...is that in my case, the answer would be, well, human. There isn't really an animal that corresponds particularly well to deep spirituality, the soul overcoming everything imposed upon it, the need to reconcile freedom and loyalty, or any of the other Big Ideas my character is about to my knowledge. Of course, human would at least be a change from being a human-looking robot, if not a glaringly obvious one... -- Pteryx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterhawk Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 Wow, Dr. A, someone said Hermit has too much time on his hands. Converting the whole Legion is pretty impressive.

As a matter of fact, I was thinking of that crossover when I did this. I didn't bother to list ALL of them, either...I also did the dead, retired, honorary, and so forth members...Dog Vidar, anyone?

It's about making a pun out of a character name, like Goose Rider or Captain Mare-Vell or Green LanTern (I know there was a Green Lambkin, but I like mine better) to make a Captain Carrot/Spider-Ham style parody character. Unfortunately, since 99 percent of my characters are already anthropomorphic animals, I can't participate meaningfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
