Can someone PLEASE fix the horrible run on sentence that is a S'Kra Mur's LOOK???

All the other races have theirs broken into several sentences that make it easy to visualize the person. Special feature modifications make it worse.

Basic S'Kra Mur Commoner with no modifications:
You have a shallow-featured face, slitted close-set crystal green eyes and a straight snout, speckled scales, a crooked tail and a fat build.

Basic Human with no modifications:
You have an oval face, close-set black eyes and a freckled nose. Your brown hair is short and straight. You have smooth skin and a slender build.

The sentence is long; it is not a run-on.

>>Whiplash: Can someone PLEASE fix the horrible run on sentence that is a S'Kra Mur's LOOK???

It may not be a run-on sentence, but I think it would read a bit better if broken into two sentences.

Current look: You have a shallow-featured face, slitted close-set crystal green eyes and a straight snout, speckled scales, a crooked tail and a fat build.

Possible improvement #1 (most similar to other races): You have a shallow-featured face, slitted close-set crystal green eyes, and a straight snout. You have speckled scales, a crooked tail, and a fat build.

Possible improvement #2: You have a shallow-featured face, slitted close-set crystal green eyes, and a straight snout. Your scales are speckled, and you have a crooked tail and a fat build.

Possible improvement #3: You have a shallow-featured face, slitted close-set crystal green eyes, and a straight snout. Your scales are speckled, with a crooked tail and a fat build.



Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall rank!

With custom features it can get kind of long winded. Here's mine...

You see Death's Fire Morpion, a S'Kra Mur.
He has a sharp-featured face with sharp white fangs barely showing over bulbous pouty lips, dark slitted pupilless eyes and a scarred and burned tapering snout, dark smoke-hued scales with crimson-gold edges, a curving tail with dual ridges of sharp blackened spines running the length and a lean muscular build.
He is colossal for a S'Kra Mur.

You slap Voldag hard in the face with your hand, making a nice crisp smack!! That's going to leave a mark!

And adding in feature accentuaters turns that poor, lonely sentence into a monstrosity:

You are Secret Agent Aislynn Ranloa, Triage Strategist of the Order of the Apostles, a S'Kra Mur.
You have a set of dainty silver chains linked together by rainbow sapphire studs accenting a flexible ridged crest which follows the shape of your skull, some rounded icesteel-framed spectacles with blue tinted lenses that accents gold-flecked slitted blue-white eyes and an elegant snout, icy blue-whorled translucent scales accented by some white opal gems, a webbed icesteel pel'hhsmur with a brilliant sungold spiral covering the length of a ridge of delicate spines upon a resplendent tail and a pair of pale leathery wings with nearly translucent icy-blue membranes accenting the figure.
You are itty-bitty for a S'Kra Mur.

very much on board for the changes isharon recommended. Perhaps this could be set up and, if someone has custom features, they can adjust it to fit the new layout and submit it.

Is this something that can be done ?

Not without re-writing the fundamentals of the entire feature system.
