Welcome to Gaia! ::

As a survival horror whore, let me just say SQUEE! heart

Gotta decide whether to plunk my chara down in LA or NY. @_@ Originally I had her in the west, so I guess LA...

I was thinking of a fun way to make changeable character info displays, and perhaps stacking boxes would work. :3 Kind of like making a brick wall of square/rectangle graphics.

Top row: Character graphic, status graphic, location graphic.
Middle row: Supply icons
Bottom row: Equipment icons

The character graphic would always remain the same. The status graphic would be a choice of healthy, sick or injured, with maybe different levels of illness and injury? And then the location graphic would be a choice of city, grassland, etc.

The middle and bottom rows would consist of icons like canteen, MRE, radio, walkie-talkie, laptop (secure and unsecured connections), bat, knife, pistol, dynamite. Each icon would have a greyed out version and a colored active version.

Regardless of what you have or what your "networked" status was, you'd always have one version of the icon or the other so that the second and third rows would always be the same width.

The fun thing about having a stack of graphics blocks is that you could customize a set for every post and since the graphics themselves never change - only your choice of which to display - the older posts would still be accurate to their content.

Character - custom, shredder (m/f), robot (various models)

Status - healthy, illness (minor, major, critical), injury (minor, major, critical)

Location - nuked city, suburb, country, mountain, forest, meadow, hills, desert, ice, water, underground

Supply / Network (7 total) - canteen, MRE, flashlight, medkit, walkie-talkie, radio, laptop (secured network, unsecured network)

Equipment (7 total) - hand (unarmed combat), shuriken (concealed weapon), bat (melee weapon), knife (bladed weapon), pistol (firearm), dynamite (explosive), wheel (vehicle)

The icons would just be representations. :3 So a shuriken icon lit up could be anything from a garrote to a pocketknife, and a nuked city icon could either be LA or NY. It would just give people a basic idea of your situation.

Three people is fine with me. That way its not just you and me talking to each other.

<.<

You'd get tired of me REAL quick 8D

Does bbcode allow you to stack multiple rows of graphics next to a single tall graphic though? I thought it was just single rows, which was why I thought the character icon could be the same height as the others in the same row, so that the "brick wall" ends up looking like one solid rectangle. :3

I'm tempted to make unique icons. >.> But I've got G-work to do, so if you don't mind Frankensteining, that would be lovely~

What would "corrupted" be, by the by?

And I love that ammo icon idea. Makes total sense. <3

Also,
Did you want to do your own RPC? Bridgey and I will be doing ours as a basis to work the face icons off of.
I also came up with a design for the land icons, and will try to get a sample here in a bit. ^_^;;

To answer your question:
I am unsure if the icons can be stacked against a single image. However, couldn't we include it as part of a post (IMGLEFT/RIGHT) and it still work?

I'm sure we can work something out, regardless.

It looks awesome to me ^_^
Bridgey and I are in our final day here in TN.

Gonna go eat around 6ish.. then come back and pack up to leave tomorrow. X_x

Ooh, Era sounds like she can kick a whole mountain of booty with both hands tied behind her back. *_*

I don't know where Era and Edward are, but Fon's being set down in the LA area. I figured she'd be alone at first and then hook up with your characters somewhere along the way.

Safe travels~ :3
