Biblical Cherub and Ophan [PEACH]
« on: February 05, 2009, 12:33:28 am »

Quote from: Ezekiel 1
6. And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.
7. And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass.
8. And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings.
9. And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings.
10. As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle.
11. Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.

It doesn't actually use the word 'cherub' in Ezekiel 1, but it does when it describes them again in Ezekial 10.

This is my first mod. It hasn't been tested. The joints are as you'd expect, and you can add them to antmen or whatever other four-armed humanoids you think should have joints. The four-armed flying humanoid is as you'd expect, except it only uses its first wings to fly, its hands are attached at the elbows, and it has four chunks of fat instead of three. I did the first because one pair of wings is described as covering its body, and thus clearly isn't used. The second because the hands are under the wings, not at the ends of them, and the third because there are four cherubim, each of which has four heads and four arms, so four seemed more fitting.

Edit: I forgot to add ears to the faces.

Quote from: Ezekiel 1:
16. The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel.
17. When they went, they went upon their four sides: and they turned not when they went.
18. As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four.

That quote doesn't tell you much. Much of the design I copied from this picture. Also, it has 16 (four squared) eyes and spokes. In the picture, it looks like it has 40 eyes and 16 spokes.

Apparently, it's the color of beryl, but Ezekiel didn't say what kind of beryl, and it seems to come in every color.

You win.

However, I'm going to make them size 20. And a megabeast. And possibly give them a flaming sword.

Give it a sphere and make it a POWER. Creatures being led into battle by unforgiving instruments of god (or suchlike) are would be rather cool.

Toady typically doesn't do things by half measures.  As evidenced by turning "make hauling work better" into "implement mine carts with physics".
There are many issues with this statement.

Quote from: Genesis 3:24
So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
If you want it to have a flaming sword, add [BP:FS:flaming sword][con:RLA2] to the end of the body section, then change
[ATTACK:MAIN:BYTYPE:GRASP:punch:punches:1:2:BLUDGEON][ATTACKFLAG_WITH]
[ATTACK:SECOND:BYTYPE:MOUTH:bite:bites:1:1:GORE][ATTACKFLAG_CANLATCH]
to
[ATTACK:SECOND:BYTOKEN:FS:smite:smites:MIN:MAX:BURN][ATTACKFLAG_WITH]
[ATTACK:MAIN:BYTYPE:GRASP:punch:punches:1:2:BLUDGEON][ATTACKFLAG_WITH]
with MIN and MAX being the minimum and maximum damage. I have no idea what to use.
