In Response To: Re: Forerunner Visualization *IMG* (Leviathan)


: This thread is starting to split my brain, so I apologize if I'm repeating
: myself elsewhere!

Don't worry, it's quite alright. Thank you for being receptive to constructive criticism :)

: The main reason I had that sense of taking the armor on and off was so that
: the Chief could eventually upgrade his own suit possibly. But like I said
: in another post, his armor upgrades could come from another source
: entirely, or maybe the whole 'Forerunner upgrade' thing is dumb, not sure.

That's not a dumb idea at all, I really like it. And not to start writing your story here, but it'd be really cool if this Forerunner was the main antagonist and it could end in some climatic battle where the Chief is upgraded with Forerunner tech. Maybe the Chief was (for the first time in a Halo game) actually defeated in their first contact because of his inferior technology. Just an idea- it's unoriginal, but it'd be neat from a gameplay perspective.

: I really like what you're describing here though, and I'm going to try
: something more along those lines in round 3 of this little experiment. I'm
: not sure how exactly to meld this suit with an anatomy we've never seen
: though... Hmmm...

You're an artist, Levi :)

Plus, Cryptum gives a pretty rough description that's easy to follow. From Halopedian:

The Forerunners were a bipedal species resembling humans in overall shape, though they were larger in stature. Before their first mutation, they were tall and slender, and possessed patches of fine, purple-pink or white fur on the top of their heads, along their nape and shoulder area, as well as the backs of their hands. Their facial features were similar to those of humanity, and they were capable of making analogous expressions, but this changed as they mutated to their higher forms, which characteristically had stiffer facial muscles and a more limited ability to convey emotions.[25] The Forerunners also had a genetic code that was remarkably similar to humans, though they were not known to be genetically related.

Their skin color ranged greatly, including gray, black, blue, pink, or a mixture thereof. The number of fingers Forerunners possessed seems to have varied according to their rate and form; Lifeworkers, for example, were known to have seven fingers, while Bornstellar's later form, based on a mixed pattern, had six fingers.
