And with the creation of Henk Cobra, we have our first reptilian avatar. I have to say that he doesn't look very friendly, and with that sword I can imagine a duel with Sakura on a rooftop somewhere... _________________ Most have only two choices in life, a life of happiness, or a life of meaning.

Maybe it's just me, and trust me I mean this in no way offensive, but does it seem like we have way too many sword carrying fighter types in this story which is meant to be almost anything but violent to anyone else? _________________ Silentium est aurum |

I think he looks cool :3
Edit: When I look at the Avatar WIP for the second time, I was thinking of Henk Kobra being in a Mafia XD. |

He's certainly interesting and very different from what we've seen so far. A bit scary as well, but that's probably due to the pose and the sword, and I'm definately looking forward to seeing the colored version.
And you're right, Ashton, there are quite a lot of fighter types among the avatars. Many have a fursona that either has a profession or a past that relates to violence in some form. Not that I have a problem with it at all. I've been thinking if it's because it makes for a more interesting story, if you're writing stories about your avatar or participating in RPGs. _________________ Constance Mayflower's bio

Well no worries from me....I think Venessa will have an easy time with mine, whenver of course the time passes, and once finished he will look kind of depressed, but a bit puzzling too. I haven't made everything about him up yet, except me in Bon Bon being Kein Ramingston, and I'm the local watch and clock maker ....I have a little shop between a flower shop, and maybe a pastry one...so I can NOM on some sweets _________________ Make Peace or War$, whatever you prefer.

I agree with Ashton, there's a lot of fighter-types among the forum fursonas... mine's probably included in the mix, being a former gun-fighter, but of course I purposefully made my character more likely to use his brains than his bullets to solve problems. Plus, he's more likely to use his gunslinging to wow the crowds than to cause any actual harm, having given up his criminal past for the profession of an entertainer.
On the other hand, we do have a number of soldiers and a constable who at least have a reason to be carrying swords and sidearms.
Being among the first batch of avatars made by Vanessa from way back (along with Ksathra-blackfox, Kjolnir, and Kommy), I can't help but feel a little responsible for setting some sort of trend. _________________ Johnny's Fanfics (including Sureshot! A Bon Bon Tale)

My avatar (once i become a member for 6 months and Vanessa draws him) would have had a weapon because he is a blacksmith. I remember a post about making a game of pbb... i remember some one saying there are not enough characters for a fighting game and would be basically a Sim's game... _________________ yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. that's why it is called the present.

Some would like an interactive game like the Sims, but the card game was more of a "Capture" game than anything. Plus, that person would be me, which I'll be taking back up once again. I'll be setting aside a project or two of mine to pick it back up, as a transition to get me drawing and CGing again.
Though, I think your all being a bit unfair. For one, it still can be considered a dangerous time out there, and self defense can still be handled with a hand held weapon. On the other hand, they could all just be showing that the "Liquor & Guns" store talked about in another thread is in good working condition. _________________ The suspense is killing me.

As far as self defense goes, I've always found that a sturdy cane works quite well. Not just a fashion accessory but in a pinch a handy cudgel. _________________ I like old jokes. With them I know when to laugh. |

Mister Gantros, how is Sakura?
If you can make appiontment between me and this person we will have a non lethal battle.
And for my look, how do you look if you have seen war and all evil things that comes with it.
But I will be friendly to everyone, until someone try to hurt a person who has no bad feelings, I will protect that person with all my strength.
I have a sworn a to live a way of protection to the weak and I will dye first before a cub, man, woman in trouble. _________________ Avatar: http://forums.pleasurebonbon.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7830
