Hate to sound like a dick kro but you should probably have a general idea of how something works before you argue about it. The elaborate, you were talking about adaptation, not evolution, which is kind of understandable since they're loosely related, and generally talked about at the same time. Also I'd have to agree with you metal chao, currently it doesn't matter about your genes or general health, as long as you're not dying in a hospital bed, to reproduce. Actually, as far as I've read about other third world countries and other places of low quality of life, it seems fertility is higher in those places. Why, is it because sex is something to do? Why do people want to have children in really terrible places? I think its just more than just lack of birth control.

No offence but the whole point of this site is making up characters and making them fight eachother I don't want to use something someone else has created, nor do I want to plaster filters on top of it Fair enough, I just figured it would be fun.

I'm not sure if this is allowed, since technically you're not drawing anything, but I thought it would be cool. Alright, in this thread you can only use photoshop(or any other program really as long as you follow the rules, photoshop would just be the recommended choice.) to fight, but here's the catch. You're not allowed to draw any OCYou're only allowed to use images previously posted anywhere, and you don't have to use your own character's pictures(not saying you can't, but it would be MUCH MUCH easier to choose a really popular character, that way its easy to find pictures of them) As for me, I'm going to be...

Yeah I kinda figured you guys would just say shit like that. As far as my opinion goes(not that anyone cares), killing a zygote isn't killing a child, and neither is an abortion, its like planting a seed then pulling it out, and calling that the cutting down of an orange tree. But the gene modification I wouldn't be cool with, there are just too many factors that could go wrong. Though it is completely useful for the prevention of early life diseases, removing the chances of an early death etc. which is pretty great. Then again, I could make my baby super strong and intelligent, then give him a suit of armor to wear, and he could fight crime across the world. (I'd give him the flying gene of course, who the hell wouldn't give their baby that)

If you were to have 8 zygotes ready for transportation into a woman to use as a surrogate mother or what have you, would you consider destroying the remaining 7 immoral, seeing as how its the beginning of life?
Also, would you consider that equal to or worse than an abortion, which, if done before the 6 week period, is almost the same thing.
What about adding genes, something as simple as making sure it is a boy or girl(currently possible), to something like, say, being more physically capable, or incredibly intelligent? If you had the option would you go through the tedious procedure of this process(which isn't possible, but lets say its the same as changing gender for zygotes) would you go through with it, or wish your your SO to do so?
I have no reason for asking, I've just been thinking about it lately, and I think its a pretty good topic of discussion.

This was brought up in the Concept Art thread, but it was agreed between myself and another member that it would do best in its own thread for the attention. So, discuss what you think standards for an "average" brawler should be. This in no way should be an actual average of what brawlers should be, but rather a balanced standard upon which brawlers' powers can be compared. It should also not be limited to just things like strengths and weaknesses, but also characteristics like height. Personally, I think the average male brawler should be 6' ( ~1.83m )or more (average height for males in the major countries members seem to reside in is approximately 5'10" [ ~1.78m ]). Brawlers are a lot like superheroes, and therefore, in my opinion, taller than a civilian. Maybe not by much, maybe by a bit more. Following this, female brawlers should be roughly 5'7", maybe as tall as 5'10" (~1.7-1.78m) (averages in life being close to 5'5"[~1.56m]) I went to research average human strength, and it seems "average" is being able to lift up to one's own weight. So, naturally, brawlers should be able to do "above average", which is at least their own body weight and up to roughly double their body weight. I would guess the average brawler should be able to lift at least up to one and a quarter, maybe one and a half times their body weight, up to two and a quarter (or two and a half if we choose half) times their body weight. Now, average body weight for the adult male in the US (as of '99-'02) is ~190 lb (86.6kg). Brawlers, being more buff than the average citizen, should probably be 215-225lb (~97.5-102kg). For females, the average is 164lb(~74.4kg), ergo female brawlers should be 175-200lb (~79.4-90.7kg)? Beyond this, I've not done research, nor can I think of any other characteristics to "average-ify". Thoughts? I don't like this. I don't like this one bit.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - I hate you add in some AA and increase texture quality, etc.,. Face posing needs work. No one actually has that sort of shit-eating grin naturally. Don't get angry at me for the hate you thing, it's a Fable 3 quote from the gnomes. It's just a reference. OH NO HE SAID THE H WORD RABBLE RABBLE PERMABAN Wait he was just kidding what a silly man. ANYWAYS go west, jump off the cliff, and kill yourself.
