    Again, can we please not perpetuate the *noun*punk trend? Blech!

    How do you even define 'skatepunk'? Unless the whole outfit is covered in wheels it's just any kind of clothes in the world paired with roller skates or rollerblades.

    Sorry *deep breath*, anyhow the creature designs art style is cute. #art

    @Belabras ate my dingo!: I would like to put forward a new movement: Punkpunk. In which you apply a run-down industrial aesthetic to a run-down industrial aesthetic. It would be like, putting buckles and straps on your buckles and straps. #art

    @twophrasebark: Didn't they do that in one of the books? I remember them doing it because some rules said they couldn't beam down or use shuttle. Didn't say anything about jumping.

    And there was a time with Kirk & Picard ( I think). Rental suits from a ferengi. *shudder*
