Discworld MUD Creator Cards

SPOILERS

This is not an exhaustive list. These are just the cards I have seen.

Anni

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain crispy burnt black
border around the edge and a small picture of Anni on it.
The happy face of Anni is almost completely obscured under the layer of
chocolate she has smeared across her face.  For someone who claims to love it
so much, she sure misses her mouth a lot. 

Archana

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain and somewhat faded
gold and wrinkled border around the edge and a small picture of Archana on it.
Archana is the epitome of creatorhood.  She enjoys coding toys that help
players relax, such as spa baths, steam rooms, and fun liaison toys.  Due to
this, she has been given the nickname 'The Fluffy Avenger'!  She wears mainly
clothes made from wool, and eats a mainly vegetarian diet.  (She doesn't like
harming animals).

Ariadne

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain and somewhat faded
gold and wrinkled border around the edge and a small picture of Ariadne on it.
Blue and cute, Ariadne has made sure to be drawn as if she were cute. She has a
round body, eight legs and a human head, but something about it is still cute.
Maybe it's the way the spider is holding a needle and thread, maybe it's the
cute way that she's whispering in the artist's ear, or maybe it's the
absolutely adorable way that she's got her bared fangs near the side of his
neck or the darling little knife against the other side.

Aristophanes

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain gold border around
the edge and a small picture of Aristophanes on it.
Somewhere in the midst of a Klatchian takeaway is Aristophanes, surrounded by a
veritable buffet of tantalising gourmet delicacies from near and far.  It seems
he has taken over the kitchens to assemble this tour-of-the-world-by-mouth
banquet, and now sits satisfied at a nearby table.  Just under the table is a
rusty bucket filled with floppy cockles labeled, "Incineraaaate". 

Arwyn

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain black border around the edge
and a small picture of Arwyn on it.
Perched on a stool, one leg crossed over the other with a high-heeled shoe
dangling from one foot, you can see Arwyn playing a game of Patience. Her
beautifully plucked brows are knit in concentration as she seeks to conquer
this particular game. Her perfectly manicured hands rest on the table and her
crimson coloured silk dress magically rearranges itself around her. If you're
thinking of interrupting her, remember, her shoes have very sharp heels.
This is a huge card, coloured pale black.  It has a pattern of green birds
around its edges.

Bluius

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain black border around
the edge and a small picture of Bluius on it.
This is a picture of a castle surrounded by the breathtaking scenery of the
Ramtop mountains.  Perched on the top of the crumbling ramparts sits Bluius,
preening his dazzling, azure feathers and closely watching the landscape below
for the next person to win one of his fly-by hugs.  Keep an eye on the skies,
for it could be you!

Borealis

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain and somewhat faded
gold and wrinkled border around the edge and a small picture of Borealis on it.
Borealis is sitting at a desk, industriously studying a piece of paper.
Occasionally someone hands him a more important piece of paper, and the piece
he was working on gets placed in the large "to-do" tray.  Sometimes he finishes
something, places it in the "out" tray, and takes the top piece of paper off of
the "to-do" pile.  A small box on the edge of the desk keeps squawking at him,
but he seems to ignore it most of the time.  It must be players! 

Capita

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain black border around
the edge and a small picture of Capita on it.
Behold: a vast expanse of nothingness.  In it, a spotlight.  Disappearing into
the surrounding darkness, and presumably stretching from one end of the
infinity to the other, an assembly line, and in the middle stands Capita.
Without pause, she turns an incoming idea into a project, on and on, the
routine only sometimes broken when she stops to wipe her hands on her overalls
and blog about it. 

Catch

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain crispy burnt black
border around the edge and a small picture of Catch on it.
At a first glance, this appears to be a picture of a sea.  Interesting though
seas may be, this one is rather dull.  At least it's not totally empty -
there's a small black dot right in the middle of it.  Looking closer at it, it
increases in size until it's possible to see that it's the head of Catch.  He's
happily swimming towards you it seems, strands of seaweed and algae intertwined
with his hair, and little lobsters and crabs hanging on with their ickle claws.

Cordwangle

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain silver border around the edge
and a small picture of Cordwangle on it.
Standing on top of a village Cordwangle is holding what looks to be a guide
book and a fishing rod, pondering something.  There are so many glorious things
in the village you feel like you should visit it, if only you knew where or if
it existed yet.

Dacrian

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain black border around
the edge and a small picture of Dacrian on it.
Standing in front of the barren Ecksian countryside is Dacrian.  The long staff
with a knob on the end and the wizard's robes hint at his past.  However, these
are slightly offset by the cork-rimmed hat on his head and the fact that he has
his other hand in the pocket of a random passer-by.  Grinning broadly, Dacrian
looks like a helpful and high-spirited individual, and yet the fake goatee and
moustache combine to make him remarkably unmemorable. 

Epic

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain black border around the edge
and a small picture of Epic on it.
In an amphitheatre atop Cori Celesti the gods listen intently as Epic debates
with them from the centre of the floor.  Even Errata, the Goddess of
Misunderstandings, seems to be following her reasoning perfectly.  The Lady,
however, just smiles as she looks on with curiosity.

Etain

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain and somewhat faded gold and
wrinkled border around the edge and a small picture of Etain on it.
The warty face of the hag of all hags Etain peers at you from behind a bottle..
actually, it's more a barrel of scumble.  Seeing you looking at her, her eyes
sparkle brightly and you feel yourself drawn to her cleavage.

Exote

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain crispy burnt black
border around the edge and a small picture of Exote on it.
There is a post held in Sto Lat, that of designated stockboy.  When there are
no petty criminals to put in the stocks, the stockboy takes over.  The portrait
of Exote shows him filling this role very well.  It must be a good day at work,
as so far everything thrown at him has been fruit.  Except for the one arrow. 

Fro

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain crispy burnt black
border around the edge and a small picture of Fro on it.
Fro is shown with her arms wide open, waiting for huggles.  Since no-one can
actually define a huggle, she may be waiting a long time. 

Hagi

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain and somewhat faded
gold and wrinkled border around the edge and a small picture of Hagi on it.
This card shows the stage of a seedy, shadow-strewn theatre.  Prancing around
on it in a skin-tight spandex superhero costume is Hagi.  His rainbow-coloured
hair seems to be getting in the way of his vision somewhat as he bounces
theatrically around the stage.  His audience are either enthralled or appalled
by his performance, especially his affected accent.  And the makeup. 

Ishako

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain crispy burnt black
border around the edge and a small picture of Ishako on it.
This is Ishako, one of about 50,000,000 people residing on the Counterweight
Continent.  Judging from the look of terror on his face, he currently has more
fear than the other 49,999,999 combined and he has a very good reason to be
afraid, because there is a gigantic bug chasing him.  He is frantically
attempting to type the word DENY into his Disorganiser Mk. III, but the thing
doesn't seem to be cooperating and the bug is gaining on him quickly... 

Jewels

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain crispy burnt black
border around the edge and a small picture of Jewels on it.
Not all that twinkles is Jewels, even if she is holding out a very tempting
troll tooth.  Glittering skin glows, eyes are twinkling and a slightly
distracted look might give those seeking treasure a chance to escape. 

Kake

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain black border around
the edge and a small picture of Kake on it.
Perched on a moss-covered boulder in the middle of the Ramtops landscape sits
the elfin figure of Kake.  She smiles broadly from beneath her star-spangled,
pointy hat and adjusts her grip on the large, black frying pan clutched in her
hands.  The corpses of numerous squished bugs lie strewn about her feet.

Keb

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain black border around
the edge and a small picture of Keb on it.
Carefully represented upon this card are several kittens.  Posed at a moment of
play, they are looking at a giant ball of string.  Upon closer inspection you
can make out what looks like a Lancre Witch struggling amidst the string.  Keb
is valiantly trying to make sense of the stringed loops in order to escape.
These naughty kittens might be getting far more than they bargained for when
she does.

Lator

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain crispy burnt black
border around the edge and a small picture of Lator on it.
This is a picture of Lator, posing in his workroom.  He has an unhealthy grin
on his face, and a huge gold star pasted to his forehead.  A kaleidoscope of
butterflies are fluttering adoringly around his head.  For some reason the
butterflies are spelling obscene words in the air. 

Mitsukai

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain black border around
the edge and a small picture of Mitsukai on it.
Mitsukai is the epitome of what a Pishite altar boy should look like: a little
sparkly with an air of serenity, and glistening from head to toe.  His cassock
is decorated with cherry blossoms and lotus flowers, symbols of his homeland,
and he bears a large, toothy grin.  He looks so KAWAII as he holds his left
hand up and enthusiastically gives a peace sign.  Is that glitter in his hair? 

Nate

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain crispy burnt black
border around the edge and a small picture of Nate on it.
This is the Nate card. He's tall, bulky, and has the co-ordination of a brick
wall. He looks like he's trying not to break anything.  He is wearing an
asshat.

Osore

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain black border around
the edge and a small picture of Osore on it.
High on a windswept and snow-blown mountain, Osore can be seen jumping up and
down and waving an enormous paintbrush at the gods.  Atop his head appears to
be an intricately folded tinfoil hat, while a peculiar tartan skirt is wrapped
around his waist.  Scattered around his bare feet are piles of limbs in all
shapes and sizes, carefully collected from the Disc's wild and wonderful
beasts.  Suddenly, a bolt of lighting jabs downwards,  but en-route bumps into
a gaggle of runtime errors and freezes in mid-air!  Triumphant - a wide grin
spreads across his soggy face. 

Paladine

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain crispy burnt black border
around the edge and a small picture of Paladine on it.
This card depicts Paladine swooping down on his platinum dragon to confront a
pair of miscreants.  The effect of his star-filled gaze, impressive physique
and wise countenance is only slightly marred by the pair of gigantic pink bunny
slippers on his feet.

Presto

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain silver border around the edge
and a small picture of Presto on it.
This shiny gold card shows Presto's cackling head on the reverse, and a royal
Ankhian hippo on the obverse. 

Ptoink

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain black border around the edge
and a small picture of Ptoink on it.
Ptoink is pictured here, a Goldilocks wig firmly atop his head, inspecting a
large piece of cheese at close range.  It's hard to say what he's doing, but
it's probably very technical indeed. 

Pure

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain crispy burnt black
border around the edge and a small picture of Pure on it.
It's hard to say where they're sold, but certain priests of Gufnork tend to
wear fluffy black masks. Pure is one of these, the name's ironic, you see. He
is standing atop the tower of the Duke's palace in Sto Helit, shaking his fist
at the sky as it becomes evident that his promised plague of rabbits is
actually one ill-tempered lop in the cabbage warehouses, who has just eaten.

Ruse

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain black border around
the edge and a small picture of Ruse on it.
This card shows Ruse hiding behind a pillar in the Great Hall of the Unseen
University, taking notes as a group of wizards finish performing the Rite of
AshkEnte.  Standing just behind Ruse - who until this point has been unaware of
the Presence - is Death, who is up in arms over the extra work that the Rite of
AshkEnte is causing.  Ruse's face turns to abject terror when he sees who it is
that has just tapped him on the shoulder with a skeletal finger. 

Sojan

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain gold border around
the edge and a small picture of Sojan on it.
Sojan's face is covered with a large black leather mask, and he is wearing a
tight black leather harness.  He seems to be breathing heavily and waving a
black leather whip.  All in a day's work for the Dark Side. 

Taffyd

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain gold border around
the edge and a small picture of Taffyd on it.
This is a lovely picture of Taffyd seated at the head table of the Lancrastian
Pork Sausage Fair.  Wearing a colourful polka-dotted hat which is strapped
around his chin, he is halfway through munching a particularly long banger.
Knife and fork in hand, a happy smile is spread across his face as he samples
the tastiest morsels from around the Ramtops. 

Taniwha

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain black border around the edge
and a small picture of Taniwha on it.
Taniwha, a mischievous fluffy and somewhat fishy demon from an alternate
reality.  Since he's not really real here, you'll just have to use your
imagination to work out what he actually looks like.

Thoreksken

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain silver border
around the edge and a small picture of Thoreksken on it.
Leaning against one of the heraldic hippos that line the Brass Bridge in
Ankh-Morpork, Thoreksken is dressed in dark clothing, and is surveying a large
city plan of Ankh-Morpork.  The evil grin on his face suggests that he is
currently making up new and exciting ways to kill unsuspecting players, and to
generally cause as much mayhem as possible. 

Thorgal

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain black border around the edge
and a small picture of Thorgal on it.
Sketched out in a chalk outline, Thorgal has been drawn by one of those Nac Mac
Feegles.  Wearing a silly kilt and making some sort of gesture, this Nac Mac
Feegle seems to have gotten a good likeness of Thorgal.

Tof

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain black border around the edge
and a small picture of Tof on it.
This card shows a dark, mysterious woodland glade.  An enormous slab of granite
sits in the very centre, complete with bloodstained ropes and a large number of
farmyard chickens who stand around the slab looking expectant.  Tof himself is
being dragged towards the altar by a team of goats and calves, in whose
harnesses he has managed to become entangled.  Tof looks somewhat apprehensive,
almost as though he is worried that he is about to get a taste of his own
medicine.

Vashti

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain crispy burnt black border
around the edge and a small picture of Vashti on it.
In the foreground of this card sits a fuzzy-looking and demented creature with
slightly pointed ears.  It seems that Vashti's various glamours are starting to
wear off, and as they do so, the pile of neglected code in the background
threatens to swamp her.  OH NO.

Wobin

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain crispy burnt black
border around the edge and a small picture of Wobin on it.
The shaggy body of Wobin is reclining on a deckchair, with a large cocktail
beside him.  Strangely, the cocktail seems to be composed of carefully layered
Dulux, the rainbow effect not negating the oddness of the cocktail, nor the
fact that it is served in a blue doggy bowl.

Woom

This is a Creator Collector Card.  It has a plain silver border
around the edge and a small picture of Woom on it.
The familiar figure of Woom is pictured on her hands and knees, squinting
intently at a rather bemused toad who seems to be having some nasal
difficulties.  Either it's amphibian flu season, or she's busy upgraping
witches again.
