With your brains, nobody with brains should care what you look like. But having said that, the cultural standards for physical beauty have greatly departed our natural perceptions. I, like everybody else, like the look of fitness and muscularity; but unlike everybody else, I know it. I think it's not just women that are brainwashed about the "thin" myth. If I ask my male friends, they *say* they like "thin" women, but then we're walking down the street, and when a woman turns their heads, she's NOT "thin", most of the time, but rather strong looking; --with round, muscular legs, arms, shoulders and backs. Most hookers and strippers know this, and they spend time at the gym, to get that "real" physical beauty, rather than the "make believe" kind.(pet peeve of mine -- i'm automatically considered ugly just because i'm tall and wide... that's not right... i'm not a venus but i'm healthy and beautiful, thank you ^-^ )
Male cats tend to have a bit more hair under the chin. In fact, although I called my first cat a 'she', it looks more like a 'he'. The other differences are the size of the eyes relative to the rest of the face: Bigger for females; and tail expressions: Females tend to make smooth spiral shapes, whereas males make sharper bends. I haven't read these things anywhere, though; just from my own experience of growing with cats, instead of brothers or sisters... ;-)Oh, by the way... We never really see any girl kilrathi in any of the games! How pronounced is the sexual dimorphism in the Kilrathi species? I'm thinking something like the captain in "Treasure Planet", only bulkier -- basically take a stereotypical anime catgirl, make her more pronouncedly feline, and say she has about my build.
The first cat is going to stand out versus the ones to come. I have the pictures in my mind, but I don't want to talk about them until I do them. Essentially, they'll all look lazy and apathetic (like real cats). Thus, if all goes well, the cultural divide between the military, ruling class, and the average kilrathi, will be quite apparent.Me being a pacifist at heart I'd like to show that at least some Kilrathi civilians are as tired of the war as humans are, after all the Empire is a feudal regime and an eventual victory wouldn't really gain much to the common kitty.
We do get to see Kilrathi priestesses in WC1 IIRC and in the WCP intro movie. Not much of them, but a glimpse. Pay close attentionspiritplumber said:Oh, by the way...
