Character creation feature expansion request megathread

I forgot to add, the hairstyles of the Fatebreaker and Hesperos too, and fangs for everyone. Ahem. And please eyelashes matching the hair colour.

Gotta say, really not a fan of "fangs for everyone". Especially when it comes to Miqo'te, that'd take away one of the only things left that makes Keepers unique and worth choosing.

This is similarly how I feel about the idea of color picker for Auri scales, it would just erase the distinction between Raen and Xaela, I could accept a range, so some ladies are allowed to have that horrid black the dudes have, and the dudes are allowed to use our gorgeous blue, but completely unlocking would be too far for me.

Also the hairstyles of Hesperos and the Fatebreaker. Vibrant eyes and fangs would be nice too.

I would love some body scars. If my character spends all their time fighting gods and monsters they should have some battle damage to show for it.

I thought of something else today: nail length, shape, and color (ie natural or painted).

Sure we have fake nails, but we shouldn't have to give up a glove slot just to have painted nails.

I currently have the most extensive scarring available to a female Keeper. Can you tell?

What I really want is new face options with sliders.
- For starters give every race at least 1 new face preset and then keep adding new ones.
- Replace the current option with basic sliders that control the size, height, width, debt, distance and shape of each feature (jaw, nose, eyes, brow, mouth, at very least).
- Allow basic customization across all races for ears, tails, horns etc. Example would be to allow miqote and aura to edit ear/horn shape and size, maybe even allow hyur to have hilda ears.
Other bonuses would be to:
- Allow greater range for height slider.
- Add body types (sliders would be ideal but I know the way gear works makes it hard to do)
- Allow animation customization, so let hyur use viera animations for example, even better if you can mix and mash.

Probably some others too but for me the main thing would be to truly bring the CC into a bare minimum for this type of game instead of just patching it with some new face paint (no disrespect to those who are excited for the new options but I was personally really disappointed with what they revealed for the CC so far, in fanfest).

More options would surely be nice. But whatever they add shouldn't affect the characters we're already using in any way.
I would hate being presented with a Fantasia that forces me to choose different options.
Just let me keep my characters as they are, and present me with new options when I use a Fantasia.
The graphics update already made me "delete" my old characters and switch races because they didn't look the same anymore.

Hopefully by the new expansion they will add some actual, real eyebrows, but considering the game has been going on for so many years, and how they seem very stubborn about their decisions, I doubt it.

Let's say there are more highlander-coded NPCs in the game that plays part in story and also your job master. The developer knew well that no eyebrows on them just make them look too goofy, so they deliberately added eyebrows there.

Also what do you mean highlanders from the First following Ala Mhigan culture when it comes to shaving eyebrows?
