Mixed Races

i think we should have greater freedom in character customization. basically i noticed how some npcs have custom bodies (ie nero tol scaeva is a hyur head on a male elezen body) or how gosetsu is for all intents and purposes a human head on a roegadyn body.

i'd like to be able to make characters like that myself. some combinations wouldn't really work (ie lalafell, though perhaps they could be as tall as the shortest female aura)

in the case of particular racial features (miqote eyes and tails, elezen ears, aura tails and scales), they could be a toggle.

Not really sure how good those examples are. Since Nero isnt a Hyur head on an Elezen body, but a model that uses the Elezen skeleton. Galeans seem to use either the Elezen skeletons or Hyur skeletons depending on the desired proportions. CID I believe is a Hyur skeleton, supported by the fact that he is considered short for a Garlean.

Gosetsu on the other hand is confirmed to be another subrace of Roegadyn by the developers. Granted we know his unique design is to make him stand out more, but it's no more different than what other important NPCs have gotten.

Hilda is really our only main go to for mixed races, as she literally has another races features on her model, in her case Elezen ears.

None of those are half breeds. The first three a seeker children while the last, Khloe, is a Keeper.

Well there is one other Half-breed even though it is of a non-playable race, the garleans. In the game itself the garleans are considered a race of their own.

Arenvald was born to an Ala Mhigan woman, whom he implies was raped by one of Ala Mhigo's Garlean occupiers, resulting in his conception. His mother hated Arenvald for his half-Garlean heritage and abused him. She became convinced that he was growing the trademark Garlean third eye, despite this only occurring in pureblood Garleans, and took a knife to his forehead to cut it out.

100% confirm this, as my hyur looks like his twin brother (maybe a little taller)
