Lol, "Random City." xD ...Oh, wait, there's an actual Random City in someone's story? I see. Thought that was a throwaway gag. Cool.

Huh! So Etrian is the same height as Roger/Striker? He struck me as being way taller! ^^

Nope, it's very much a setting in ImpXimon's own superhero setting! You should check it out, though there is some kinky stuff to be found in his gallery. You have been warned. ;P

Yeah, after looking through the records I had made of Etrian, 5'8" was his original height before he became a hybrid. I had pondered making him taller in his Valgarian form, but decided against it for the sheer fact of the transformation between forms being fairly painful already, so there's no real need to add on the bones shifting around to make him taller as well. That's the same reason why John is the same height(kinda) between his human and Valgarian hybrid forms. Of course, this fact does make a few past art pieces a bit hilarious, with one particular between Etrian and  Starlightwyvern's Mortimer Graves posing together(which I believe I showed you in private before). They're about the same height in that image, not counting Mortimer's pointy standing-straight ears, but in reality Etrian is 5'8"...and Mortimer is 6'3". XD

Turns out I've already seen his gallery. xD But thanks for the warning anyway.

Why does the transformation even need to be painful, though? Is there a reason for that? I've seen other similar-like transformations that aren't painful... Part of me wants to encourage that you make Etrian's Valgarian form taller because, again, he simply looks like he would be.

*However*... Roger would love it if he and Etrian were the same height, because that means that if Etrian says yes to a little make-out session, they'd be able to press themselves right up to each other without having one of them stand on tiptoes or something (Roger's favorite kiss involves pressing up his chest, belly and groin to his partner ).

Oh, well, that's good. XD

Because the body is transforming? Bones being shifted about, various things extend and grow, such as the snout and a tail that were not there before, teeth change shape, flesh is covered by scales, and biologically he's becoming something completely different. It's also worth mentioning that he's a human based Valgarian hybrid, while full Valgarians with other forms do not suffer from this changing pain since it's part of them from birth, whereas in the case of Etrian it is something that he turned into from DNA entering his body and rewriting his genetic and molecular coding to make him a hybrid. So yeah.

I do understand that, but at the same time it would not fit the idea of Valgarians as a whole, as they are about the same size as humans if a little bit on the taller side. Closer to 6 feet, I mean. And it certainly wouldn't work for Etrian in various aspects. His money would be blown constantly on having to get outfits repaired as he does shift between forms while wearing things, and his wardrobe would be filled of various clothing of various sizes. So all in all, his size shifting would not make sense.

There's also the fact that he is not of divine status, nature, or anything of that sort in his Valgarian form. For example, referring to Mortimer again, that's him as his base Avatar of Anubis, which is 6'3". But that's the size he's at when he's in that form, his real appearance is shorter. He gets taller in the appearance of Mortimer Graves because of his bloodline connection to the deity he is the Avatar of. You can also see this in Cirius or Sky Guardian, my Avatar of Horus, between his normal appearance and his Avatar form. Etrian does not have this particular trait of transformation to him, so no, he does not get bigger in his Valgarian form.

But yeah, though Etrian can make it work to do that kind of stuff with anyone of any height, but it is usually best to have someone your own height for make-out sessions and those parts of Roger's favorite type of kissing. ;P

Ah. ^^ That makes sense.

LOL, I know the perfect solution: just wear speedos all the time. ROFL!

But that all sounds very cool! :D

Lol, yeah... ;3

Right, glad it does.

That's not really a solution as then the speedos would become the victims of the size shifting, and that would eventually end with him being nude in public as a result. XD

Thanks!

Indeed, hehe. ;3

Oh dang, that's a pretty neat ID card there. How do you go about getting one?

Thank ye, Imp did a great job on it!

Well, firstly you have to be in the Random City Discord server, then you ask ImpXimon for one and go through the procedure.

I'll have to look into it. The word procedure makes it sound like it a while or be hard to do

You do that. And not really, you just provide the basic info about the character and a headshot of said character.

I mean, in a world of super-beings, Random City sounds like a normal place OvvO

That's true, that's true! Especially since Random City can be just about anything. XD

Anything? Appropriate OvvO

Indeed so!

oh cool ID card

Thanks!
