potential idea. more descriptions for our characters

Post by Ninetales16 »

Hey everyone,
I wanted to throw out an idea and see what people think about it.
In the previous version of the game, some races had unique physical traits you could add to your character, which I thought was a really cool feature. For example, Hillfolk had hairy feet, and Nuum had long necks, these are the ones that come to mind right now. I loved that detail because it gave different races more personality and made them stand out, rather than just feeling like diferent versions of a default human model.
I’d love to see this concept expanded with more descriptors to further customize our characters, and I wrote a few little ideas to see how they are received :)
Facial Features, like Options for different nose shapes, face structures, lips, and cheekbones. I thought that the nuum could have more narrow cheekbones, somehow similar to how the regal people looked in the past? I am still pondering about that. Also, the option to havea beard as a male, our a moustache! That would be awesome, I think.
Similar to how hoods cover hair and eyes, maybe masks could work as an optional facial feature for players who want a more mysterious look and they could hide the specific features.
Scars & Birthmarks. I think they could really help characters stand out and provide some unique interactions and could be used as a good tool for talking about a character's backstory. I know that in hte past, some of them could have been gotten from special gm events, but making some specific ones available at character creation would be really interesting. I have ideas of an older character I would love to create sometime who would have scars, for example.
I am still uncertain how some of the legacy characters could have these options changed, I would truly love to make my character more descriptive and interesting. Maybe a prompt like the one which tells you you are missing a secondary language and could add it?
Finally, I know some members of the fasa have tribal tattoos on their bicep, and I am not sure if that is given as an option to have when you are creating a fasa character. It would be cool to have it. similarly, I wonder if giganty can get options for scars or tattoos to represent their clans?
this is only an idea of mine, and I can fantasise about it for hours. I'll stop here though. I really, really look forwards to everyone's opinions about this. for me it would be a very amazing change and a dream I would love to see in reality.

i would absolutely love this! The option for freckles would also be amazing, as well as the Fasa tattoos which are currently not available.
Thanks for posting this, Ninetales.

My two legs are broken, but look at me dance
An object in motion, don't ask where I'm going
'Cause where I am going is right where I am
