Theiving Firrerroes Skater Street Kid - simple or ambitious [Travis Moore]

Picture if you will…’Cam’

Cam is a thieving seventeen year old Firrerroes street kid (orphan) with a knack for technology and an addiction to adrenaline. He stands 5’10’’ tall (1.778 meters), weights about 175 lbs (79.3 kg) has a tone athletic build, permanently tan skin (he is only part Firrerroes and as such his skin is a rich tan rather than the more gold color of a full-blood Firrerroes), gold/tan and black striped hair (stripes are vertical from the scalp) which hangs to his jaw line in a pseudo-skater style (or is sometimes slicked back), with piercing icy pale blue eyes. His perfectly smooth face and handsome youthful features make him an instant favorite of most all human and near-human females.

With the help of a mentor Cam created a mirco-skiff repulsorlift board – he calls it his ‘rift board’ – which he rides everywhere. The board can run on self propulsion (kicking off like a skateboard) or under its own power (several micro engines give it a surprising top speed and a max flight ceiling of 10 meters). The board is essentially a star wars cross between a skateboard and a snowboard. The rift board is about 3 feet long (.91 meters) but was designed to be able to fold in half and be strapped to Cam’s multi-sectioned backpack. The backpack usually contained his techie equipment and whatever his last 5-finger discount happened to be. Cam does carry a blaster pistol on occasion, and is quite a good shot, but he prefers to stay out of the direct action.

Cam’s outer most layer of clothing is actualyl protective gear. It protects him from the rough and tumble world he ‘rifts’ through and lives in. The gear is essentially a black military padded-armor jumpsuit that was cut into a fashionable jacket and some leg / knee / shin pad thingies. Under that, Cam generally wears one of a couple t-shirts (often sporting a sarcastic phrase in an alien language) his durasteel grey cargo pants, and some well worn black boots. He is a street kid and has learned to make do with what he can find, but he still likes to have a little style.

So if anyone is interested I am open to a simple picture of him standing alone (or with his rift board) or for a more ambitious (and more fun) project, a picture of Cam riding his board across the cityscape or through the slums of some high-tech world with the local authorities hot on his heels. The picture can be black and white, but some color might be fun.

Feel free to ask questions. Most all of the details are flexible, they were just provided to create an atmosphere.

Hey Camero, I'm interested in claiming this request, but I have two disclaimers to make before I do. First, I'd be doing the "simple" version because I just don't have time to do a whole scene (and I really don't enjoy doing cityscapes). Second, I'm really busy this month, so you probably wouldn't see anything until sometime in December. If that's cool with you, then I'll grab it, but if you'd rather wait for someone who can get it done faster or do the more ambitious request, that's fine too. Just let me know!

Camero

Travis,

The request is yours. I know how real life can be so don't worry about it taking you some time to complete it - it will just be fun to see Cam come to life. Plus, you do amazing work and good things come to those who wait. Thanks for your interest!

Cool, I'll take it. Eclipse, I don't see the "Claim Request" button like in the old SWAG, so I'll just say I claim it.

Just noticed that Travis completed this one a little while ago. Also just realised that Cam is the friend of Rat, the character request I recently completed. :)
