show your au ra!

[Raminax]

Also I saw really great and creative Raen #1 in this thread, maybe the palyers on my server are just...conseravative when it comes to looks lol <- personal opinion

Well, not hating on the Face #1 Au Ra, but it's likely popular because of the discreet horns and having the lowest amount of scales covering the face. With the right hairstyle, your scales become practically invisible and the horns blend in with the hair, giving you a rather Hyuran look... except that you get the moe body language you've always dreamed of. Comfort zone, and all that.

It might also just be that the average person picks the default face and works with it, though. I mean, the default faces tend to be quite common for most races, in my experience. Dunno whether it's laziness or default faces usually being the most attractive. I haven't experimented very much with all of them!

ah, someone said pretty much this here in the thread before and I had to think about it before I saw your response but couldn't bother to look for it *thumbs up*
Personally I first was really into their race (dragon ppl! :O) but found their emotes so be way to girly so I dind't switch untill last week.
I would say I don't get why even play as aura if u don't really want to look like dragonish person but your quote explains it pretty much (to me)

I have a smiliar feeling about this - it might be the fact that the default faces are usually the prettiest and lot of ppl don't bother looking what the options for other faces are. That's why I always thought femroes are so unpopular: the default FemRoe u see isn't exactly eyecandy (compared to what u actually can make them look)

Well I personally chose face 1 for many reason, first I find it the most beautiful, you can basically make her look cold, feminine, badass warrior-like while being graceful and delicate at the same time and that's totally what I wanted. The other reason is because it's the one that's the closest to my girlfriend's face. I like having a character that looks like her at some degree and I believe she likes it too when she looks at me playing the game and taking care of her appearance with glamours and stuff.

I've had many people saying that face 1 is the most common Au Ra face like we should feel bad about having it. I generally answer them that I'm sorry for having good tastes.

I mean, seriously look at my char again :



You can't match that level of beauty and gracefulness with any other face. And also b**ch please. I'm still more original than the plethora of Miqo'te and Midlanders, even with Lightning's haircut.

@ValyrianBlood, it could have been XD But even so, I've seen a ton of people who complain about people having face 1, if it WAS your comment I saw, it's not just you that made me write the comment. No harsh feelings ;p

It was the same with Miqo'te before Au Ra's were released. You know, just let people play what they like ^^. It is kind of disheartening to some when they make a cool character and everyone is telling them it's typical and everyone looks the same.

Happy that every single person has his own taste of beauty, why should it bother me/you/someone what other ppl think about me/my char?
You like Face 1? Take it.
You like Face xyz? Take it.
Someone tells me my char is ugly/not unique/not a special snowflake? WTH why is this so important? xD

It doesn't bother me, I just think it's unnecessary and stupid for people to say XD

Face 1 is popular because it's a really beautiful face. Face 2 is less popular because, at least IMO, it has a slightly more derpy or head-in-the-clouds look to it. Face 3 can be really pretty as well, but a lot of people, myself included, hate the horns from face 3. Face 4 is interesting because it can be scary, angry or pretty (depending on features chosen) and I have considered using face 4, just never pulled the trigger.

I beg to differ but hey, personal taste and stuff

nah, totally no harsh feelings, u actually made me realize how stupid my comment was and I shouldn't have shouted what I shouted.
It's on the one side like Zentsa said - just don't give a F what others think about your char but on the other side I spend a lot of time searching for nice looks for my char myslef so it indeed is disheartening reading stuff like this. Though I'd never go to someone and say 'omg your char is so boring' - I don't see a reason making ppl feel bad about themselves - I maybe think it for a sec and carry on with my life.

So yeah, Lumina I apologize for my careless wannabe-sassy shout - Raen face #1 is maybe not special but it has many fans for obv reasons and that's totally fine actually xD

[WinterLuna]

@ValyrianBlood don't worry about it it may have not even been your shout that I saw anyway! I've actually seen people say it a lot and didn't care so I guess it just bothered me that one time but yeah, no worries at all ^^
