Am curious from folks on what they think on peg legs, am fiddling with the idea of making one but don't want to devote a bunch of time to something everyone is going to say ...meh thats not gorean lol

I had a pegleg for 3 months... amputated the lower leg after weeks of festering and gross odours wafting from my trousers due to a larl attack.

I had no problems with people saying it was ungorean.... however ermmm... when I was bored with hobbling all over the place... it was a little far fetched to suddenly find a physician who could re-attach my old leg which had been kept frozen. Perhaps if I had found a Priest King with their technology they could have grown it back through some form of stem cell research programme 

but that is the issue.. continuity and for some.. "realism" ..whatever realism is in a science fiction genre .

You mean there is something that Gorean medicine can't fix....?  Do all the players playing greens know this?

[Sayrax wiefel]

No greens are like the green lantern, with enough imagination , they can do anything.

I actually think this would be a great storyline for your personal character development. If you think about it... he would be going through a bevy of emotions...from anger, depression..to lack of self-esteem. From being frustrated at having to re-learn doing things that we all take for granted, to not being capable (yet!) of measuring up to his equal counterparts in whatever role you've taken up. I would be excited to be a part of that especially when he finally gets that 'aha!' moment and realizes that he can either be defeated, or conquer his disability and learn to control it instead of allowing it to control him.

I would jump at the chance to play with someone who was actually going to be expressive with these kind of emotional rollercoaster life-events. Why? Because it's not something we often see here in Second Life.

In second life, perfect is WAY overplayed.

I say go for it, get your peg.

Besides, then you can always say you have wood and really mean it.

Kajira use to get splinters if they knelt too close to my peg leg.

Also, I was captured by panthers and  they set my wooden leg on fire  .. I became known as the only gorean that was burnt to the ground

LMAO Carter's peg leg! Ohhh the memories.

My character limps because one of her tendons was cut, and the most involved people got when she bemoaned her state, was to suggest I went to their green, who had some secret they had learned from the priest-kings, to fix it.  Maybe I'm just not that good a RP'er, but it seems that most people I encountered WANT to see their Gor as a perfect world, at least in that respect.  I've given up on doing anything with it, except using it as part of my backstory.  But, Siobhan, I'm going to put a note by your profile, so if I run into you in-world, I'll give it a go again.
