Why does he look like cyclopes?

Ivan was originally an experiment from an undisclosed eastern bloc military's experiment on creating an all terrain sniper/scout (emphasis on scout). Hence why they started with an otter, and added wings (Air, ground, water). The electronics are enhancements (he is minorly cybernetic, geared towards endurance, stealth and survival, not strength or any bad-ass weaponry or such mary sue-isms ;) )

The VRSHADES stands for Variable Range Scout Headset Advanced Digital Extrapolation System. Various multi-optics (Thermal, Nightvision, Infrared, UV, limited penetrative(very limited)) are bundled in the headset, as well as a smart linked system to any weapons he carries that are capable of that (i.e. if the weapon has a camera and a smart link, he can see through the camera on the gun around a corner through the VRSHADES). It's linked through a cybernetic sub-network built along his nervous system at the arms and head to the ruggedized, EMP proof arm computer on his arm.

He doesn't NEED the VRSHADES to see, they are just an enhancement. On an asthetic level, I always liked wrap around head displays like that ^^.

on an odd note since none of the pictures ever have it:

He has a lift pack. Think of it has a muffled, low power jet pack. He cannot fly just with his wings, though he can glide for a good distance. The pack helps him attain altitude so he can glide

I see...wouldn't some kind of collapsible gliding unit work? I mean, wings are cool...but they get kinda..bulky if the base figure was not designed for them.

yeah but on an OOC level, my fursona has always had wings ^^. And originally the plan was supposed to be self sufficiency. They "project" was deemed a failure mostly because they COULDN'T get one that had wing that self lifted (he wasn't the first, though he was the last (most refined) before the project was cancelled).

*nods*

and also, OOC to a point, I had been tempted to do a collapsible flight pack in lieu of the wings.

Didn't you come up with that brilliant idea with the help of Second Life?

SL allowed me to visualize Ivan. It made up for the fact I cannot draw worth a shit ^_^

SL helped me to do the same for myself as well =)

is he abnormally large down there? and do the shades have a yiffing protocol system in there too :D i think it would be fun if it did :P (yes, i came in here and made it dirty mwahahahahhah)

HEhe not surprised Velnor you are an otter.

well he is 5'2" in fursona, and about 8" so i guess techcnially he would be abnormally sized for his height.

As for the VRSHADES? NAww they are just a heads up display for the arm comp and multi optics device

darn, i was hoping it could scan bulges and tell sizes and such without having to find out by asking :P

Yay Q & A has anyone done a full character profile with the white tattoos that you discribed?

No not yet. In the works with  Bianka, slowly

Does he want a hug from a boxy?

*hugs a boxy*

~*chest ruffles*~

Awe they do good work! Cool! I hope to see it soon!

I think I know a better way to cheer your mopey ass up ^.~

Hehe *grins* i know whats on a bunnys mind

anyway I can help? :D

Does he like sliding around on ice?

especially on his back with his wings wrapped forward ^_^

How many nick names does he have and what are there?

Actually, he doesn't have any. Except maybe otterbutt *smirks*.

Most just call him Ivan or Vanya (which is the Russian "familiar" for Ivan, like Mark would be for Marcus, Ben for Benjamin, etc).

Cool. So does he have a name for his penis?

it's name is Awesome

Hahahah...now that is a great name.
