Note: I'm making a plug-in for EVO right now (and need to use the information mentioned later on in this post), so I suppose that this is (at least) somewhat relevant to this board. If the moderators think otherwise, please move it to an appropriate forum.

A long, long, long time ago, there was a thread on the EVO board discussing the physical appearance of the aliens in EVO (Voinians, Emalghia, Azdgari, etc.). However, after extensive manual searching through the forums, I couldn't find it. Because the search feature is down, I couldn't use that either. I don't expect anyone to know what the URL for that specific thread was, but if you could post your opinions here, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Well I always imagined most of them to look fairly human. Dunno why, who knows what aliens look like? Ares took an imaginative approach to the subject, but my mind can't really get around people not looking like humans. In the hypergate (anyone remember that? It's over at evula now) I wrote about an Azdgari character who could pass for human, but looked a little wierd, but that was about as non human as I got. I guess that goes for all the strand. Just remember the Azdgari have really sharp teeth.

Voinians were basically imagined to be like humans too, but bigger and with really fascist looking uniforms. Like Sydney's rail cops!

Emelgha... uh no idea. For some reason I thought they had no hair. The miranu... urr... blue?

Sorry that's all I got. Good luck, and maybe you should make the plug as a mission extender for the EVN EVO plug... sound like a good idea?

Actually, I'm making the plug for EVO first, and then I'll manually port it to NOVA after I'm done. The plug occurs 10 years after the events of the stock EVO UE campaign...

If you're interested...the EVO webboard doesn't get very much traffic these days...

Thanks for your encouragement.

I too have always imagined them as fairly human-like, since it seems like the game would make a bigger deal of their appearance if they were not. One thing I should point out, however, is that the Azdgari, Igadzra, Zidagar, and Strandless are all different factions of the same species, so the differences between them would likely be minimal (ie. on the same level as the difference between different groups of humans).

Oh, man. That post was made years ago, if we're thinking of the same one. I remember reading it, but nothing other than that.

Maybe the folks that do the EVO fiction would have a lead for you.
