Hi guys! So -insert excited screaming here- Volterra and Isopia are finally going to give into the lures of nature and have a lovely set of twins! The twins are going to be played by myself and Odd. Unfortunately my guy Vulkán is still designless!

Now, I absolutely SUCK at designs, and I just can't do this boy justice and create a design that fits the amazing plots and family he will have. So I've decided to see what you lovely Helovians can come up with!

In short, Vulkán is going to be a lot different to characters I normally play, in that he's going to inherit his mother's intellectual side rather than his father's warrior side. He might develop into a warrior as he gets older but for now my plan for him is that he'll be extremely intelligent, analytical and balanced, but at the cost of having approximately 0 social skills. He doesn't understand humour, especially sarcasm (so if somebody told him to go and jump off a cliff because they were annoyed at him, he'd be like 'BUT I HAVE WINGS D:'), is poop at nonverbal communication, and inadvertently lacks empathy due to his sheer social ineptness. This will be super interesting and challenging for me to play as I generally just go for the warriors :D He also has his father's temper, although it takes a lot to trigger it.

He's going to be a tribrid, and will have magic to make the ground explode with lava (his name means 'volcano' in Hungarian after all :D).

The details

- He'll be a tribrid, so wings and horn/s please :D
- Lots of foot feathering!
- Must have some sort of 'skull' marking as it's very dominant in Vol's genes and Iso also has a similar marking. Doesn't necessarily have to be in a distinct skull shape, though, nor does it need to be on the top of the face - could be a lower-mandible marking!

Design likes

- Grullos, duns, browns, blacks
- Horns similar to Isopia's
- I'd love some sort of volcano-related marking on his back/side, maybe like veins of lava or ripped skin in a localised area to display lava underneath (I have magic foal stats to get passive magic for this if necessary and also a large marking, so go wild!) I'm picturing something like this although not on the face
- I love designs with different shades of the same colour, so like a wing coming out from a darker patch of grullo for example that makes it a different colour from the wing on the opposite side
- Hybrid/leonine tail that's hairy the whole way down (like Tyrath's and Matheo's)! :D

Design dislikes

- Overly busy/colourful
- Lots of different shades of different colours - prefer shades of the same colour
- Cloven hooves (nothing against them just don't think they'd fit this design)

Prize

I'm offering Time God magic to the winner!

Thanks guys, I'm probably going to have this be a short contest so for now will say that I'll close entries on the 15th May :)
