Originally by: Kronos Hopeslayer I feel I am fairly dark skinned, and even have some nice bling on my ears.
What has bling got to do with being dark skinned?

While we're on the subject of avatars, why is it that Caldari men look like they're balding? I swear I tried for an hour when I made this toon, but I couldn't make him look like anything other than Picard with a toupee...

I'm not on here trolling or bringing up racial issues, I'm only asking why in the hell I can't make my character a darker skin color as a Gallente. It is called CHARACTER CREATION and I wanted my character to be dark skinned like myself, and questions of "WHY?" does not concern me or is gong to be answered. I only hope that someone from EVE's staff will see this post and maybe address it. Also, those of you that immediately jumped up with all the racism talk may need to look at yourselves for why it is still a problem within our society, because you idiots jumped to conclusions without answering the damn question.
My character name is Marcus Ronin, not Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton, so get it right.

Unless your trolling the old race issue in which case I have to say that those who draw attention to such differences are in fact the more racist of us. The rest of us, with the innocence of children, didn't realize there was a problem.
And the people feeling uncomfortable about such of a discussion often have tendencies to racism.
This question shouldn't be more controversial than the ones asking for beards. But alot of people do their best to be as anti-racist as possible, deem such discussion as unethical and they often overdo it and a form of indirect/passive racism comes into play.
These are the people that canĘt see the humor in racial, cultural and religious-jokes because they are too afraid of being taken as racists. They are probably people who have to struggle not to look at a handicapped person, like any other human being, on the street too.
I'm not uncomfortable with the question. I'm sick and tired of hearing it. It doesn't mean anything to me because you -- whoever you are -- are on the other end of an electron stream and all that matters to me is your words whether they are idiotic words or not.
I don't give a rats behind what the avatar colors are, its internet space ships. Search: Sky Grunthor |

The Caldari were part of the gallente federation, not the gallente race. But yeah, the Gallente most of all can excuse being all white. ---- Anything less is wasted effort |

As a member of the African American community, I for one would like to know why the darker skinned Minmatar race, of which the Brutor tribe members resemble Lawrence fishburne, are the slaves of eve. Such a blatant stab towards the sanctity of my ancestors memory may not be considered offensive in iceland, where basically 99% of the people are of european lineage, but in America this would not be tolerated.

Originally by: Thicky McThick I wanted a green skinned character, or even a blue one. Red I could live with , maybe even yellow. Maybe yellow with pink spots. Purple with gold stripes. Orange, grey, scarlet. Transparent even, no colour at all, see all the bits inside.
The no colour at all can be arranged....Linkage This is what happens when a kestrel with thermal missiles declares war on earth |

You have two options. You can select the seemingly african based Brutor race, or you can go down to skin tone and click the arrows on any other bloodline until you see a skin tone more to your liking.
Options for character creation are limited, but the reason everyone assumes you are trolling is that almost all the bloodlines have dark skin tones available and we have an entire bloodline that is obviously designed to be black.
It's hard for the community to believe that even the greenest newbie is incapable of spotting either option especially given that you seem to be capable of reading in english and are evidently not blind. Presumably at some point you clicked the Brutor bloodline and saw the picture of the large black guy and the dreadlocked black chick. So what, exactly, could you be doing here other than trolling?

Edited by: Biirk on 12/02/2008 18:48:24 To the Issue. I think its a great Idea to loosten up the 'boxes' we are in here. I guess I aplaud the concept that different 'factions' have different racial orientations.
But in this situation. Players are distributed for disparate reasions. Some people choose the 'good'or 'bad' faction. 'to be them selves'. Some people choose based on what stats they want. or what kind of ship they want to drive. 'to be what they want', 'themselves'.
There is also a desire to look like ones self. Due to all the different factors in faction choice. And, that it is also possibly silly to force a 'race profile' on a faction. And that in 'real life' it dont look like it works that way. ,,,
I suggest letting full char apperance options to every faction and root race.
I would like to have chosen a 'good guy' galente or minmatar faction for the lore. But, I am a 'good guy' myself. I will express that in my play. I went for 'stats'. and chose the um 'bad' caldari race. (and I do so like the ship colors FWiW)
There are too many other constraints on faction, to choose one for race, or temprrament. Hence. I suggest easing the race and temperament bias of the factions.
Let people be themselves. then if there are any biases. let it show in the playership naturally.
Quote: Just by skimming this thread i saw one person refer to "oriental[s]" and generic "chinese" looking toons for the asian blood lines.
Now Im surprised you didnt notice i misspelled 'coloored'. Not a problem?
Really. If that is a problem to you. it is one of your own making. 'Loosten up!'. If you have to point there for problems. you must not have many.(or um,, perhaps you do)

Speaking as a bottom-dwelling rotifer, I object to the fact that the only species portrayed as characters are derived from humans. Therefore CCP is showing its bias against other species.
I demand that my character be shown as a large purple and green rotifer, with its internal organs everted (a common defensive display in rotifers). ------------------

1) it's a fantasy game where you play different races. I get the feeling that there has been so much mixing that everyone is a little darker. 2) what am I, Chopped liver?

Whether it was intentional or not is beside the point. If aspects of the game offend you so much then don't play the game.
