+# Figura Protogen
+This is my personal avatar for
+[Figura](https://github.com/Kingdom-of-The-Moon/FiguraRewriteRewrite), a
+Minecraft mod that allows for fully customizable avatars. This avatar is a
+vanilla-style avatar with minor enhancements such as emissive textures, a tail,
+and hurt animations.
+
+I originally wrote this avatar for the old version of Figura, and I am
+currently in the process of rewriting it for the current Figura version.
