== Content ==
			
We were chatting in guild chat just now about how there should be class-specific emotes, just for fun.
 
 
Examples:
 
Engineers should spawn a refrigerator bot that hands them a beer.
 
Warriors should slam their sword in the ground and strike a pose.
 
Espers should float up in the air and have ghostly jabbits and dawngrazers prance around them.
 
 
... etc.
 
Think this sounds fun?  Post your ideas!

Stalker spawns a clone and plays rock paper scissors with it. Then reacts according to who won.
Spellslinger twirls their guns and pretends to shoot, followed by blowing the barrels.
Medic checks their pulse or scan themselves then panic when the results aren't good	
----
			Stalkers should punch keys on a wristpad, start laughing, and then explode in nuclear fire.

Engineer spawns a turret, dispenser or w/e and Stalkers can /sap it. At which point the Engineer says, Spah's sapping my w/e! =D

			While I have no immediate suggestions, I support this idea!

All these ideas so far, yet no shotgun-like cocking from the Engineer?
 
I remember those little power cells going out when you electrocuted stuff back in beta. Was always a nice detail when you were just shooting.
 
Simple and effective.

Spellslingers pull a cowboy hat from behind their back, don it, and look menacing.

			I think SS "equipping weapons" with: \ ... speaks for the class. ;)

A few more ideas:
 
The medic theatrically washes her hands and elaborately pulls on a pair of gloves.
The medic pulls out a laser chainsaw, revs it several times, and says, "Where does it hurt?"
The medic uses his emitters to put on a brief random lightshow while a short piece of random techno/dubstep music plays.
The medic kneels and examines something on the ground, shakes his head sadly, and says "He's dead, Jim."
The medic angrily shakes her fist and says "I'm a doctor, not a ______" randomly from a list of various things from the old Star Trek, like "a bricklayer", "magician", etc.
 
The warrior triumphantly fires a firework into the air from his arm cannon.
The warrior waves her sword around several times, making fake light-saber noises with her mouth.
The warrior draws his sword and uses their arm cannon to clean it off with a jet of brightly colored fire.
 
The spellslinger produces a lasso and does two random tricks from a list of about five different quick moves.
The spellslinger enthusiastically fires her guns into the air for several seconds, shouting some variation of "Yeee-ha!"
The spellslinger produces a cowboy hat, reaches into it, and pulls out randomly a jabbit, a squirq, a vind, or the angry head of a live stemdragon, says "Ta-daaa!", then shoves it back into the hat.
 
The engineer produces a comically oversized wrench and swats it into their palm menacingly a few times.
The engineer spawns all his robots and they randomly do a brief dubstep, country line dance, or Irish Riverdance routine.
The engineer menacingly points his cannon, then a long pole with a flag pops out from the barrel that says variously "Bang!", "Pew! Pew! Pew!", or has a lightning bolt or mushroom cloud on it.
The engineer spawns an easy chair robot that scurries up, they sit down on and recline with their feet up, and then a television or fan pop out from the side and swing to hang over the engineer's face.
 
The stalker pops their claws and slides them back and forth over each other, producing a shower of sparks.
The stalker hunches down to become invisible, but instead becomes vividly and weirdly covered in colored patterns for a few moments, then produces smoke and sparks and then returns to normal.
The stalker does the "I'm watching you gesture", pointing forth and back with two fingers at their own eyes and then someone else several times, maybe even saying "I got my eye on you, pal."
 
I could do this all day!
 
I also suggest: Emotes for each of the races and paths!

			All the tank classes can do this one: the player is battered around by an invisible monster, smashed into the ground, dragged around, punched flailing across the ground, and then finally stands up and dusts himself off. Typical Tank day.	
----
			I'd like a warrior emote where they pull a sword out of some giant stone.  Then trumpets sound off, etc.  Just not sure how to make it make sense (since they'd have to jam their sword in the rock to begin with, or something).

I like targeted emotes.
 
For Medic:
 
Select another player, then type in the emote.
 
Medic rubs his resonators together (like building a charge on a defibrillator), then puts them away.
 
Looking innocent, the Medic slowly reaches out to the targeted player and gives them a gigantic static shock. :D

Great list. These three are my favorites. :)
 
If we were going to talk about racial emotes, I would want the Chua one to be giving someone an explosive cigar.

I did forget espers, didn't I? My apologies.
 
The esper hovers a few feet in the air in lotus position, sometimes randomly rotating in space.
The esper puts her fingers to her temples and hunches over slightly, saying, "I sense a presence!"
-targeting another esper- A giant phantom hand appears over each esper's head, and the two hands high five with a mighty thunderclap.
A swarm of tiny phantom animals emerge out of the Esper's eyes, crawl down his body, and form a circle around him for a few seconds before vanishing.
The esper produces and shakes an billiard eight-ball, peers into, and then reports one of a group of random fortunes like "Yes", "No", and "Ask again later."
A random number (like between one and six) of ghostly copies of the esper appear, perform some emotes at one another like they are conversing or arguing, then disappear one by one.
The esper crumples to the ground, leaving behind a ghostly copy of herself that darts around quickly for a few moment before dashing back into the body, which then awakens and stands up.
The esper juggles a number of phantasmal blades, sometimes including a toilet plunger, umbrella, or other random object of roughly the same size.
The esper conjures a phantom version of another class's weapon in his right hand, and with his left makes a sarcastic talking motion while they say, "Oooh, look at me, I'm a big tough (whatever class they are imitating)."	
----
			Interesting ideas. While races have /taunt, could perform their class emote with /taunt2 or /class. If this does happen in future, probably not happen for long time. Can only imagine how long it takes to make animations for not just every race, but every class combination too.	
----
			I'm thinking /flourish rather than /taunt, although a class specific taunt would be neat too :)

While I'm thinking of 'em:
 
The mechari opens a cabinet built into his chest, reaches in and produces a random bottle or glass, drinks it down, and then belches a jet of fire.
The chua produces a comically large ticking time-bomb, throws back his head and does the mua-hah-hah laugh; this causes all other chua in a 10 meter radius to also do the same laugh; the bomb explodes in a shower of confetti.
A draken drops into a football linebacker's stance and paws dramatically at the ground with one foot, then the other, growling menacingly.
A Cassian human brushes imaginary lint from their front, scrutinizes the nails of their hand closely, and then says drolly, "Are you STILL here?"
 
The Exile human produces a banjo, clay jug, or tambourine and plays a few bars of a jaunty song.
A granok produces two bottles, opens them both, drinks one after the other, and then says quizically, "Oh, did you want one? My bad."
A red dot appears at the feet of the aurin, tracing around in little circles. The aurin watches it intently for a moment, madly scrambles to chase it, then looks embarrassed and politely coughs as the dot vanishes.
The mordesh does his signature "my back bothers me" shrug, the unscrews one of his hands at the elbow, reaches back to scratch the spot for a few moments with the disembodied hand, and then reattaches the hand, wiggling the fingers.

If I may join in....
 
-Aurin (Female): Grabs tail and hugs it.  /race2 Hisses while grabbing tail.
-Aurin (Male): Scritches ears, and taps feet.  /race2 Howl chants at sky.  
-Granok (Male): Adjusts the boulders.  /race2 Has himself a Cigar and tankard of beer, puts cigar out in beer.
-Granok (Female): Checks the girls.   /race2 Polishes her muscles and flicks the cloth away. (complete with ding sound)
-Mordesh (Male): Pumps self with serum, and enjoys the rush.   /race2 Pulls out beaker full of something, coos at it before putting it away checking if anyone saw.
 
-Chua: Juggles bombs, chainsaws, other implements.   /class2 Rolls into a ball, spins in place.  (Reference is way to easy to not get.)
 
-Esper: Concentrates, building up big blue energy ball above head, then having it peter out in the form a brain fart.  (Or actual fart from straining that hard)

			Hehe, love some of the race ideas.  Awesome guys!  Keep em coming!
