You press a button on the machine and the tank slowly rises from it's embedded position and is drained of fluid as it centers itself over the floor in front of you. After a few seconds the bottom of the tank opens and the creature falls a few feet to the ground. It lays there for a few seconds, breathing hard, before raising up it's head and looking around. It's head isn't much more then an eyeball covered lump attached to a longish neck, its two original eyes glowing green while the mass of random humanoid eyes flick about, looking around. Its mass of tendrils, which grow from the spaces between the eyes, and occasionally have a few eyes on them themselves, slowly and delicately sway and glide through the air, touching everything around them gingerly. They seem to act almost independently of the rest the creature.

Two underdeveloped antennae wiggle like stumpy feathers on its head and its clear, thin, black laced carapace glints like broken glass on the parts of it that aren't covered in shell or eyeballs. It rises to it's stubby, taloned feet and begins moving slowly around the room, half walking, half slithering on it's fat, snake-like abdomen. It's heavy shell is clearly slowing an already not terribly quick creature down, and you can hear it's massive, oversized teeth scrap against the ground as its inner jaw snaps lazily.




Welp, that's a successful test I think.

Now? Now I go work on further expanding the system till it's ready for another test. Thanks for the help and look forward to when you can pit them against each other like pokemon crossed with cockfighting.

Nope.  The 'mons only got knocked out, and no one was betting anything.

"Ooh.. I'm gonna call it Cherubim!" She says with a very soft inflection, as if it was pronounced "Sherubim."

This isn't an RP, Dark.

Eh. According to Wikipedia, this:
Quote from: Ezekiel 1:5-6
Within it there were figures resembling four living beings. And this was their appearance: they had human form. Each of them had four faces and four wings...
is a cherub. Also, "cherubim" is plural.

Eh, he doesn't seem to much like RP-heavy games. He enjoys the minimalists and the Perplexicon genre, but things like ER and...well, your attempted "game" aren't really his style.

Oh, I'm sorry for my mistakes. Of course it's cherub. And I must have mixed up the beings in Revelations - the ones with all the eyes around them, the lion and eagle etc. - with the cherubim.

EDIT: Or, at least, I'm pretty sure it was Revelations with the many-eyed creatures...

Sorry about that  :P
