NattyDreadlock	Posted - 2004.09.18 10:14:00 - [1] I hav eonly one character in-game so Im not sure if there are more diverse looking people/races to choose from...is there? I have to admit i was very disappointed in the limited ethnic/racial groups to choose from when creating a character. Please dont tell me the European Union is the only earthlings who get off the planet in the future.

Danton Marcellus	Posted - 2004.09.18 10:16:00 - [3] You could create your own ethnic minority and roleplay it to the bone, if done well and not in contradiction to the prime fiction who knows, it might get picked up on and made canon by the devs. Convert Stations

NattyDreadlock	Posted - 2004.09.18 10:35:00 - [5] Its hard to role-play an Asian or African blood-line when your character looks like Sean Penn. I was just very disappointed.

Kel Shek	Posted - 2004.09.18 11:14:00 - [9] I would say you aughta play around with the character gen a bit more, it has some amazing variety thats possible. I'd say as far as the races go... its kinda like... Gallente Male: lanky, possibly slightly too nice looking type, sorta rustic... kinda. Gallente Female: The only race whos females actually can look feminine and nice. Caldari Male: tough, buff, otherwise somewhat nondescript millitary-looking caucasian. Caldari Female: Butch, tough, not so feminine. Amarr Male: utterly arrogant looking, cut featured male, or hooded Emperor Palpatine wanna-be's (sorry... lol, thats wht comes to mind) oh... or starven half dead looking creepy people. Amarr Female. psycho looking ****s. Minmatar Male: Black dude. Minmatar Female: ... I don't think anyone actually plays minmatar females... ~~~~~ To see a World in a Grain of Sand And Heaven in a Wild Flower Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour ~~William Blake

NattyDreadlock	Posted - 2004.09.18 11:17:00 - [11] Edited by: NattyDreadlock on 18/09/2004 11:20:59 Ok, Im going to make it simple. Im African-American. I'd like a character I can identify with. There is nothing worse than creating a character that you role-play with, an extension of yourself, or some aspect of yourself and then find yourself being corraled into having your portrait look like something else all together. Skin stones in game go from milk to beige. Hair types are from bald to straight. I'd like a character that looks like the face in the upper right hand corner of teh website's banner, but i'd like to make him BROWN in color...or even almost black. I'd like to see some curly hair types...tight curls and for long hair...straight, loose curls, tight curls and even dreadlocks. Variations from German to Italian is not enough. Now if Minmitars look black thats cool...but can I have a Minmitar looking guy as a Gallente...there should be some cross-over.(p.s. excuse my mispellings, I havent been around long enough to have them down).

Danton Marcellus	Posted - 2004.09.18 14:07:00 - [23] Next up is the fat guy who complains he can't get his avatar fat enough to identify with. Make the most of what's there, I sure as hell don't look like this, look at my lips, they're 'african', my hair, the ingame do, I borrowed from a musical about birds and my eyes are from some japanese animators wetdream I believe... How about you just acknowledge the fact that it's not you in space but your represenative. Btw, intaki and sebestiors look pretty damn asian to me but I guess that wasn't enough for some people.

Staci Stardust	Posted - 2004.09.18 16:53:00 - [31] I play a Minimtar female. The advent of the computer now allows us to make more mistakes, faster than ever before anytime in history. The possible exception being the combination of Tequila and handguns.

Also there where new bloodlines announced for shiva, but they canned it because of lack of time (mainly to include asian features). -------- -The only real drug problem is scoring real good drugs

Eris Discordia	Posted - 2004.09.18 21:13:00 - [39] I think the Caldari were suppose to be Asian looking but it was very hard to design this at the time. I believe that Shiva has some surprises when it comes to different Races. I ♥ my pink dreadnought of pwnage Mail [email protected] if you have any questions.

Kel Shek	Posted - 2004.09.18 21:18:00 - [41] ok, so my little categorys aren't perfect, how 'bout that ALOT of amarr females look kinda psycho. (I don't like the look of mostly bald women... its weird) so some people play minm females... but they don't LOOK minm to me... and I still think theres a far fewer amount than there are of the other females ~~~~~ To see a World in a Grain of Sand And Heaven in a Wild Flower Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour ~~William Blake

Acab	Posted - 2004.09.18 21:20:00 - [43] Edited by: Acab on 18/09/2004 21:24:17 Hi. Naty, try with the Minmatarr brutor bloodline, they have an african look. They actually are african somatically. Unfortunately they may not have the variety you can get with a caucasian choice though. Still not bad if you try to play with the char system a bit. Try it out and see for yourself. Hope it helps. Acab P.S: You OUGHT to try with Brutor bloodline. They have dreadlocks and many other hair variations. I'm surprised you didn't noticed the first time when loooking at the different races.

Ghoest	Posted - 2004.09.18 21:23:00 - [45] Umm Brutors are obviously of African decent. Frankly Im surprised that any African American is willing to play this game. It always seemed like, not so veiled racism to call the Africans a derivation od "brute" and make them the least intelligent race.

Alexis Machine	Posted - 2004.09.18 21:27:00 - [47] Minmatar females can be pretty hot. Unfortuantly, I had an accident with the walls of my pod. I plan on seeking cosmetic surgery one day, but at the moment I can't be bothered with picking a new facial structure. Go Minmatar my darkie brother. Not only do we have dark skin, but our ships are made of junk metal and duct tape. We appeal to the blacks, as well as southern american whities. yay. I hope I didn't offend anyone with my words. I always have gangsters looking at me funny when I say "Yo my brotha" or something similar... then again.. that might be because I'm whiter than a jug of milk.. or it might be the foot tall mohawk.. erm.. runs away ----------------sig---------------------------- Dtai'kai'-dte sa-de nau'gkon dtain'aun bpi-de. if you don't wake up, i'll have to stop kissing you. all that flailing has made you sleepy. you rest while i untie you. stay here until they find you. My hand made mannequin. i won't let them get you. they'll know you're mine by the fingerprints on your throat. isn't she lovely? isn't she wonderful? like the *****s that we are, swatting flies from the wounds we design.

Diana Merris	Posted - 2004.09.20 14:25:00 - [49] No Minmatar females?! As others have mentioned the Minmatar Brutor tribe would be your best choice. There are also some medium dark skin tones for Intaki. You can make some major changes in look playing with lighting and skin tones. They were planing on adding new bloodlines with Shiva that would be asian but thats been postponed.

Azure Skyclad	Posted - 2004.09.20 16:36:00 - [57] I don't think all Amarr ladies look like psycho bishes. I think a lot of Ni Kunni ladies look positively delightful. (Not counting myself) Check our Lorna Doone or Rarium's portraits. They look very pretty and very feminine. Try playing with the character editor some more (to the original poster) I was very impressed with the myriad combinations available.

Joshua Calvert	Posted - 2004.09.20 18:30:00 - [63] We need Caldari Mackem and Geordie ethnic groups. Caldari Mackem Mackem symbolizes Caldari in every way, they're inefficient, hard working and beer filled. The Mackem are commonly found in jobcentres,, both in fraud interview rooms and the loo, something that suits their temperament very well. Caldari Geordie Geordie provide the backbone to the Caldari Empire. They're cool in winter because the refuse to wear anything more warming than a t-shirt, level-headed and relentless in their approach to either drinking or fighting. Geordie can handle pressure extremely well, an invaluable aid in convincing wor lass to let him go to the pub or other social situations. Many of the best bacon butty hunters around are Geordie. LEEEEERRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
