Frigging create new thread problems... (whoops, worked out what I was doing wrong - it's silly to try to upload files which are already at a http: location)

!

OK, I admit I have been playing away a little bit. Since my brain is fried from real life, I've been spending a bit more time than usual at the undemanding Gaia forums. Now, these forums are not my kind of place normally as there is no way to get to know anyone; there are just too many people and everyone's in it for the gold. Gaia gives gold for posting and this virtual gold can be spent on clothes. And some of the clothes are really freaky. And it's occurred to me that what I'm really doing, when overdressing my little avatar, is making her look like Galactor captains. Take a look at these and see what you think...

Captain Catfish (haven't worked out how to do whiskers)

Phoenix - hope there's some insulation inside the gloves or I will have trouble typing after wearing this for too long

Captain Evil Christmas

This one's probably on the side of good and truth... bleh!

Captain Chicken - can I run in these shoes?

Captain Spooky - might belong in an episode of Scooby Doo instead

Thank you for warning me about that site! I am perfectly happy in just feathers!

Well, if anybody fancies a go, there is an avatar simulator available here... http://avatarcreator.shoutpad.com/ It doesn't contain all the items, but there are enough to be fun. It's a bit like the superhero creator site (the name of which I've forgotten) but you end up with a little chibi person instead. Unfortunately they don't have the right kind of t-shirts for the team, but maybe the OAV civvies might be possible. I just haven't tried...

*gives ya deadpan look* "The page cannot be displayed" Got another link perhaps, or is this a site where you have to get dressed in the dark?

Unfortunately that particular simulator has gone offline. However, there's another one here http://www.hp-h.com/p/gavsim/

That link worked and I managed to create an avatar

She's a cutie

This is one of mine that I was rather pleased with. Looks like an insect knight, I think.

Captain... um.... naughty fox?

And this is one of the mutant Galactor accomplices (who was tube-grown on a desert island) with their robot dog.

Another mutated accomplice...

This one looks more like a blingy good guy than a Galactor affiliate, I think.

lol! I think they are ALL just too gorgeous! Fb's chibi elfin angel/devil is just too adorably cute for words! Captain Naughty fox is downright FOXXY! But I think my fav would be "greendragon" avatar with the robot dog that would have 1 Rover 1 diving for cover. the insect one had me double checking whether that was a claw , enlarged proboscis or some questionalbe appendage! Absolutely gorgeous avatars! Only one that looks close enough to be taken as a Galactan threat would be greendragon. The rest of them would probably find themselves caught and kept as pets by Jinpei! Too darn cute for Galactan Captains!!

Just in case anyone fancies playing with this, there's a new simulator at www.tektek.org/dream
