Miles rendered in a shower of ones and zeroes, the server pulling his player model seemingly from the aether. It struggled a little bit for a moment as it rendered in his fur, but it eventually finished. His textures loaded in a second later. CHAR RENDER

He gazed around at the void for a moment, the inky blackness seeming to suck light into it, extending his arm out to full stretch it almost seemed to disappear into the blackness.

"Oh no... this won't do in the slightest..." He grumbled, he was sure he'd loaded a map in the config file before starting the server, "Admin!"

The darkness dissolved around him and was replaced with the stencil of rolling hills, a forest a short jog away.
Wireframe trees rendered in, boulders dotted the landscape.
The texture map loaded quickly colour and depth flooding in, the grass warm and bristly against his feet, the sun beating down on his back.

"That's better!" He squinted up at the clear blue sky, only a vague hint of it being artificial with gridlines slightly visible through the glare.

Walking over to a particularly large and smooth boulder he jumped atop it and lay back, the boulder warm beneath him.
