Multiple Tail-sets As Digo Items?, like wingsets but...with....tails Options

[Kith Kyubi]

I was just wondering if it would be possible to have multi-tail sets available for purchase as digo items, (like wings are)...?





I ask this because, well, my character is named Kith Kyubi, of course, (for those who dont know, kyubi kitsune = 9tailed fox-spirit), and....well I'm stuck with a single tail avatar...so, I thought I might as well make this suggestion...



(Or, at the very least, have a multi-tail kitsune avatar available for purchase like phoenixes and dragons...)

In your own dream it'd be easiy enough to alter the canine avatar and then slip it in as a local species.

I must say I LOVE that idea :X nice.

[Mredria]

I'd pay for a devil tail too. :3

In your own dream you can do anything you want, but then no one can see it unless they come in and you are limited.. I am pretty sure he suggested this because he/she wantes other people to see their character as what it is, no matter where they go

I also like this idea.

Then once you get it, others will have it and you'll scream at them, "I'M THE KYUBI! NOT YOU!"

(Or whatever it is called.)

When people buy classics they don't shout at others who purchased them as well O-o ... your post makes no sense. I don't think he/she is suggesting a PERSONAL tail just for him/her.

What they meant was that their character is somewhat unique with the ninetails, or extra tails, and once this sort of thing would be added, they'd only be one of the maaany who have more then one tail. However multiple tails are a somewhat common feature these days, so in a way what Simseth said isn't quite justified.

It's sort of like having a character with fluffy ears and swirly markings, asking for it to be a digo avatar, and then realizing that what made their character individualized is now just common place on furcadia. Simseth was trying to say that people might get upset at how something that made their character different is now plastered on every Jane and Joe who bought the digo.

I support this idea in a way though, having neat little additions to the avatars like extra tails, different types of tails, hats, etc. Just it's really complicated to add a little detail onto the avatar, because then it adds an entire new set of avatars in the files (Like player13, player14, etc) making download times slower, etc etc. It's not like the wings are just tossed onto the default avatar and the files remain the regular player.fsh file. </ramble>

I never make much sense, though made it kind of sad that what I said had to be explained in two paragraphs.

But, copy and paste the character into a patch file then copy the tail and paste it 9 times. There ya go. Yes it'll look messed up, but there is absolutly NO WAY to fit 9 tails any type of species and making it look good. The multiple tails I've seen were like 2, 3 or 4 tails.

Trust me, it DOES fit. Everything which is possible in real life is possible to draw. And yes you can make it good.

[Kanuhii]

Nine tails are possible in real life?

[Shinichi Kudo]

Not that way xD .... or well. It IS possible but extremely unlikely that an animal got such genetical defects o-o .... well. I meant you could glue nine tails on some animal and they would fit.

They wouldn't be real tails, able to be moved by the critter's nervous system and attached to its spine without causing any harm or deformity to the rest of its body (especially the spine and pelvis). It's probably a good thing real animals don't have multiple tails (usually). It would probably look quite silly.

The kitsune of Japanese myth was usually portrayed with one, five, or nine tails. Real kitsune (the Japanese red fox and the Hokkaido fox) make do with only one. Trying to coordinate five or nine tails so they look good in something as small as an avatar would be a nightmare.

What sort of features would a multi-tailed Digo avatar have to set it apart from the other avatars? All Digos so far have wings which allow them to "fly" (as seen with the Zefiroth dream and to be expanded upon come the next update). Griffins are basically two avatars for the price of one while phoenixes and dragons have extra effects (which some people love and others hate). In addition to flying, the upcoming kitterwings presumably have some special ability like the griffins, phoenixes, and dragons do.
Flight is a given as the kitsune of myth could fly. The ability to conjure a spirit ball? The ability to shoot lightning or fire from the tails (which, sadly, would invite unfortunate jokes)?

The ability to swish your tail! :) This is actually something we'd been talking about more recently. We are likely detaching the wings from the avatars soon, so it's easier to add more wing types and more base avatars. The squirrel tail presents a problem for this, so the thought has been to detach the tail as well. If we do this then we can sell other tail types as well. I want a big fluffy kitty tail! :)

Awwe. That's so cute. I want a long lizard tail. =3

[Kanuhii]

How would that work exactly with dream avatars? I personally have three feral dreams up and running, with mostly custom avatars, and so detaching and reattaching the tail would be quite a pain for those who have purchased say a fluffy cat tail and come in to be a horse with an oddly positioned fluffy cat tail floating behind it x3

I guess when we get the files we could just blank out the shapes so the tail is invisible eh? Or put little additions onto the avatar for those with different tails (braided or longer tails on the horse for instance)

I'm guessing the wings and the tails would be sort of like on the same parallel as the dragon and phoenix features (flame and breath). To where it's not with the items or the avatar, but sort of on it's own?

Oh and Simseth, what you said didn't need to be explained in two paragraphs, I just tend to be long winded and explain things far more then I should. After owning dreams and Beekining on furcadia for three years and having to explain things in detail to the occasional non-understanding person it's become a pretty big habit xD

Hm. Sounds good. How might this affect making custom avatars? Would we be able to "attach" the present Digo wings to our local species in some manner?

That's the plan :)

[Shinichi Kudo]

That's the plan

But then xD ... what if a dream uses that cabbage player patch? The wings would "fly" above the actually player xD

[Gyerfry]

I think common sence tells me that you'll be able to edit them and put them in the patch folder just like regular player patches. If you detatch them, then you might even be able to do the armor/dress idea someone did.
