I especially like Nume's expression. : )

First post here.

I gave in to temptation. ^_^ Highly recommend clicking to view these in 3D.

First up, Nume and Ilraen on a mission:

Derik and Gall, on a mission or possibly in the PPC Hunger Games:

And finally, Jacques Bonnefoy and Jenni Robinson on their first date, dancing at Aujourd'hui:

Not a big fan of April Fools, I'm afraid, and besides I don't think TWWA would be a good fit - it is overall more serious than typical PPC shenanigans, though it does have its silly moments!

Despite this, I still managed to be a part of the shenanigans that started the Blackout stuff some years ago...

Hope you can work out the allergy situation!

Maybe have something about the author-less ness spreading beyond world one

I confess I tried twice to add the three birds as Bob, Deirdre, and Tod, but couldn't figure out how to colour them.

I also resolutely did not think about avian lifespans while doing it.

I didn't know I wanted a meerbat until today. Thank you for that. ^_^

These are all really fun. Each character is unique, and I enjoy all the details that tell us a little something about who they are. Chris is immediately recognizable as a Pokémon trainer and Violet as an angel (with really cute wings!), and while I confess I didn't know what Miguel's deal was before, this made me want to find out. Freaky bug-thing powers activate! {= D

Ami in World One disguise, maybe...?

Hero Forge only has a duck, sadly, but we can pretend it's a goose.

Somebody dropped this. Could be trouble...

~Neshomeh

We think she has allergies causing hot spots on her skin (because cats are weird like that) and have been trying various foods and topical treatments to help, which has been a frustrating process so far, but she remains her usual busy, talkative self. We got a new mattress a while ago, and have left the old one propped up against our bedroom window because she's been having such a great time climbing it, shredding it, and even sometimes sleeping on it, if you can imagine such a thing! Like, it's hideous, but how can we deprive her? {X D Also, I recently got her a tunnel lined with crinkly material, and she loves that, too. ^_^

M'rrahr (written by Hawkelf) is a black-and-white male from the Young Feline Wizards universe, and I guess would be extremely old if not deceased by now. {= (

Fr'sst (written by doctorlit) is his successor. He's black with orange eyes and is missing his left foreleg. A quick review of his appearances hasn't told me if he's from anywhere in particular.

~Neshomeh

The posing on Morgan immediately stands out. That is the universal gesture of "I need a frelling drink."

I didn't realize from the screenshot that Agent hS is holding a bow. For a second when I started rotating the model, I was very confused about why his staff was curved. {X D Looks like he's prepared for a crossover, since he's got a wand, too.

~Neshomeh

He looks like he needs a hug, so, win? I probably wouldn't have noticed the neck without having it pointed out, and I agree with hS about the hands: they're really well posed.

I have noticed the face posing sliders don't allow you to contract the eyebrows, which seems like an oversight; that's important for lots of emotions. You can compensate some by messing with them back in the facial features tabs, though it's not a perfect solution.

Yay for Charlie's cheetah spots. ^_^

In which the Skystreakers scramble trying to resolve a new incident by taking things into their own hands and doing the cardinal sin of berating canons on their choices, an unexprected relative of one of them pops up, and the Professor keeps having dealings with the mysterious Drifter.

I just found out about sharing Hero Forge config links, which sounds way easier than copy-pasting images into the message box and wrangling HTML. If this works, you should see Violet in all her full color glory: https://www.heroforge.com/load_config%3D49444850/ (yes, I did pick the classic Greek statue pose for her, how could I not?)

https://www.heroforge.com/load_config%3D49525684/ Here's Chris, guest-starring whatever the heck a meerbat is and Bardroy the Continuity Cat

https://www.heroforge.com/load_config%3D49570074/ and here's Miguel! Alas, the best I could do for his pet Persian, Kitty, was Bardroy's slightly odd cousin

i couldn't do ami bc the program won't let you change the size of horse or pony models, so that's a pity

Carlisle probably has set out a bunch of raisins outside his door, and is hoping that everyone will leave him alone until this annoying holiday thing is over.

Mina might be supervising some of the Nursery kids as they go trick-or-treating. And Self-Insert and Tyop are there to supervise her.

To be honest I imagine writing or RPing the ConCoun TTRPG story would be a bit Mornington Crescent. "I'm going to jump into the tachyon contraflow!" "No, you can't do that; Dis is still winding the hyperspool, and Ave is nowhere near the doppler klaxon!"

... okay, running down the current Council membership:

• Fish skipped over the Time War entirely, but I feel like he'd be up for pretending he was there. First Fisherman was skinny and reckless.
• Morgan quit Gallifrey due to Rassilon's shenanigans; my read on the canon is that he was resurrected during the Time War, so First Morgan was there. She's... basically Romana II.
• First and Second Readers were both around during the Time War, though in an alternate timeline. He was a rescue worker. I imagine the character is First Reader (the studious one), but his player has a mini of Second (the war one) lined up for the opportune moment.
• Dis and the Agent weren't in the Time War, but again, they'll happily pretend ("Dis wanted to go stalk the Doctor again, but it got a bit messy"). The Agent would probably prefer his mini to be his third incarnation if he can't have the current one, which means his partner should be Third Disentangler (the mute one).
• The Notary is, ummm... was it the current Notary who caught wind of the Time War and immediately fled? The Wiki seems to suggest it was, which means we can use the mini you already made.
• Third Aviator, who I think is still the current one, spent a couple of centuries as a weapons transport pilot during the Time War. She also knew the Reader, so there's plot arc opportunities there.

I think we can take it as read that Dis and the Agent would play each other, both to troll the rest of the group and to make fun of their own past lives. I wonder if Ave and the Reader would do the same, as a sort of thank you to each other for their support. That leaves Fish, Morgan, and the Notary, of who... well, Morgan and Fish would both be up to swap, but I'm not positive Notary would? Is there anyone she'd trust to play her?

Naturally, if they do swap around, everyone refers to the others indiscriminately by either their own or their characters' names, largely based on whatever is more annoying. I'm not sure Fearn will handle more than one session...

I was kind of worried about El-Ahrairah going in, because he's supposed to have a cane but all they gave me was staffs. I've settled on just assuming it magically scaled up for the show. I did enjoy the go-faster flames at his heels, though I'm not sure I picked the right pose to go with them - like, there are running poses!

I am perfectly happy to take the credit - sorry, "blame" - for you making more models. :D

I LOV THE BNUUY!!

IT HE!!

HE DO!!

I'm thrilled to see him - I was going to have a crack at Agamemnon in his TYH form, but never got round to it. This might just give me the impetus to give it a go! So that's your fault =]

She'd still be a bit annoyed but she'd be flattered. Where she is now is... well. I haven't written a story with her in [checks watch] Oh God Oh Shpx Oh No, but she's actually been responding well to therapy with Jenni and becoming a better person, and with that comes the fear that upon her next regeneration it'll have to happen all over again. So she's working hard to overcome a lot of internal biases against the possibility of making better choices.

Also I would be absolutely foaming at the mouth for a ConCoun Time War TTRPG where they're all with their minis in this immensely complicated seven-dimensional gaming klein-bottle representing the big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey and the universe within and without. The players are the ConCoun, all of them, driving each other absolutely nuts. But who could possibly GM for them in a way that would keep them united in the hopes of victory against a dastardly threat?

Oh hi Fearn-

I loved slapping a big goofy grin on him; of all the gods, I think he's having the most fun in his miniature. Also, I got to use the two-handed lightning, which is a fantastic piece, and to splash him with neon glow.

He was also easier than many of the others, because you already gave him a colour scheme! I just got to follow that rather than having to figure it out myself.

Your fiancé has good taste. ^_^ If he hasn't already heard about it, I recommend The Power Fantasy, the new comic by the same author; not at all related to WicDiv, but at least so far it's pushing many of the same buttons in terms of (super)power and how it messes with you. (I think it's a bit of a theme with Kieron Gillen tbh, which is why I was so pleased to see it spontaneously appear in the RP in multiple places.)

Re: Same Character Syndrome - I mean, I did both of my Elvish self-inserts almost back-to-back, you don't have to tell me! One reason I threw myself into making the Pantheon was to force myself to do different things. (Even then, a lot of them have defaulted to manic glee, and I only really used two spots on any of the weight/height/measures sliders.)

hS

God, this takes me back. :) Seeing Zeb as Kord brought a big grin to my face.

(Sidenote: my [new] fiancé turns out to be a big fan of The Wicked and The Divine, as fate would have it, and he got a big kick out of me showing him these once I explained.)

You've really done a fantastic job bringing them all to life—I often find myself falling into same character syndrome when playing with the Hero Forge maker.
