smonbrogg asked about the skeleton item and how to make skeleton characters. Here are some of my skeleton soldiers and cyborgs for ideas.
These characters are made using the default skeleton and the warlord is using the bonewings clothing item also. There's also a pose called "Snakejaw" that works great with skeleton characters. The soldier and warlord are both using this pose above. As you can see, the skeletons can wear normal clothes like other characters, but make sure to change the gender to male or your skeleton will have boobs when it wears tight clothes like the leather armor. Also don't forget to remove teeth, tongue, eyelashes, and eyebrows or the skeleton will be all goofy-looking.
This is Pumpkinhead. He's also using the bonewings, but I changed the texture to Vader helmet black.
These are cyborgs I made by using the skeleton, and combining it with the AVA skeleton. The combat cyborg is made from a large muscular character, so his jaw is slightly distorted. I also changed the skeleton texture to metal from the slave collar.
And finally, here's a cyborg zombie I made with the zombie target and the AVA skeleton.
