“I think the Lizardfolk seems interesting” you say aloud. Your avatar is based on a humanoid Komodo Dragon in appearance. You decide to rp a female, thinking there’d be more customization options.
You play around with the settings. You give yourself Leucism, giving your scales a white colouring. Your avatar otherwise has yellow eyes, a long tail, tough scales, can attack with venom, and has sharp claws.
As you conclude and press submit, you feel strange. You see more colours, or you think the goggles are translating colours for you. You also feel colder, more sluggish. It seems weird, as you not actually cold blooded. Only the Lizardfolk avatar is.
You try and talk to your friend. What comes out sounds like English, but it sounds like English if it had hissing and low growls included. They seemed to go all out with immersing you in the experience.
