My Dream Character

• Cuathal wrote on 2011-09-03 07:14
  Since Mabinogi's down, I was bored, and decided to fiddle around with the Avatar Simulator (the Japanese one, mind you, not the fail one on Nexon's site). After a while of playing around, I somehow managed to recreate Corei, my personal avatar.
  
  Many of you have seen my avatar; well, here's what he'd look like if he were Mabi-fied (ignore the pose, I just used it for extra flair):

  Whaddya think? Pretty good, or totally suckish?
  
  
  P.S. I used the following items in this avatar set (all were dyed completely black):
  
  Body: Stand Sleeveless Collar
  Arms: Long Leather Glove
  Boots: Wis Intelligence Soldier Boots
  
  I didn't give him a weapon because it would detract from his appearance, but if he were a real Mabi character, I'd most likely give him a Two-Handed Sword and be done with it.

  Meh, I don't like the all black. You can't see any detail that may be on the outfit.
  [S]I've also never liked red eyes.[/S]
  
  But honestly, he does look good, even though there are things about him I don't like. :D

  The outfit is supposed to blend together. It's not meant for mere looks; it also serves a purpose during the night; that being camoflauge - hardly anyone I know would be able to make me out in the dark. This makes it good for stealth. Of course, added stealth benefits would be giving him twin black daggers - now THAT is stealth.
  
  In essence, he's designed to mimic a more modernized Haseo (.hack//G.U.) while at the same time, possessing head features of Yurka (Evolution Worlds).
  
  
  P.S. Thanks for moving it; I didn't know if I was in the right section or not.

  Girl RA pose for a guy? HAX MAN.
  
  That being said, it looks decent if a bit effeminate.

  Pro for a ninja, fugly for someone trying to look cool and stylish.

  Well, sure. You're entitled to your opinion. Doesn't mean I have to agree with it.
  
  Plus, this design was with a rogue-ish character in mind. A dual wielder or single-hander (w/o shield).
  
  Besides, if I was out to impress, I would've done something else; this was done to elaborate more on my avatar.

  I said in my OP to friggin ignore the pose; only focus on the outfit.
  
  And effeminate is what this character embodies. You got a problem with it?

  Calm down, geeze. The pose comment was obviously a joke and what did I say?

  Whoops. Sorry. Went a little overboard.
  
  Anyways, this character is aiming to fit the "Medieval Elegance" Thief Archetype. That is, he's more effeminate than other characters because of his roleplay build (in that he follows a strict set of skills and doesn't deviate from this; more of a fun than functionality type character).

  Meh Id add more light hues to it on the suit to give detail but overall 7/10

  Looks like your avatar, have you tried the Clear Eyes? It might look more like your avatar's eyes that way.
  
  Pure black from the character simulator eats the details, and also does appear lighter shade in-game, what about a dark gray close to back?
• SUNFLARE wrote on 2011-09-03 10:00
  Persoanly i think adding a Light hue to the detail of the clother Aka The design or detail on it would make him stand out more using white ~ Light gray would do but that just my opion

  Right, I agree that the effeminate character goes well with your idea. Go for it!

  Here's a new pic, along with a weapon.

  And in case you're wondering why I chose this stance, I'm waiting for the day that devCat decides to enable us to use Romeo's stance. Simply because I'm in love with how he uses his sword - I prefer the lunging of the fencer as opposed to the swings that we have. Shame Nexon will never listen to me.
  
  EDIT - I looked at the item prices for my outfit. This is what I got:
  
  Stand Sleeveless - 345k (bought at Ailionoa)
  Long Leather Gloves - 29k (Second cheapest item, bought at Fleta)
  Wis' Intelligence Soldier Boots - 14.2k (Most likely the cheapest item)
  
  Depending on the server I make this guy on, the black dyes will more or less be the most expensive part of this outfit (since I'm gonna need black fixed dyes to make this work). This is probably going to run me around 2, maybe 4m to complete this outfit.

  Personally, I would simply camp the NPC for a good color. Saves me the hassle of dealing with greedy people who want every 1k from their "totally awesome dye color".
• Cuathal wrote on 2011-09-03 12:46
  Thing is, the piece from Ailionoa NEVER sells in that color. Dyes are the only way to get it in that manner.
  
  Same with Fleta's pieces. If I'm lucky, she might have em in black, but the chances of that happening are the same as winning the lottery.
  
  So I decided to settle for a cheaper outfit instead (and one that has a little easier chances of getting the color I desire):

  Here's the kicker though: This costume can only be worn from Age 13 to Age 16. Since it looks best at Age 15, that means I'd only have 2 weeks at best to wear this (unless there's a way to remove the age specific limit on that body piece). The outfit I first posted doesn't require that.
