What Makes An Attractive Character Attractive?

Awwww... /comfort

I know your pain. You get an idea for a glamor in your head and it's like all you get are drops and rewards in a totally different style.

Ever get to feeling the designers are against you when you get Biluad recolor #4896 and the last thing you want to look like is some prissy court official? Ha!

FWIW, Ginko*, I like your outfit. It presents the image of a professional and suits your character well. In another thread, we should talk "how to" fashion.

*Nice name. One of my favorite trees.

So... what makes an attractive character attractive? Is it simply in the eye in the beholder or is it brought about by choosing specific combination of traits? What do you think? Please post a picture of a character, not necessarily yours, and offer your thoughts on why you feel they are attractive.•

Traits I like are high cheek bones, thicker lips and some color to the skin. I don't know why but pale skin just doesn't look good to me. If we're out in the sun adventuring all the time why look like we've been stuck inside all our lives? Also a trait I carry with each character I make is having teal eyes. Love the color blue and green mixed together.

Lemme leave this here since I need to edit this post. I am gay so yeah, gay pride!

For hair I dislike long hair, mostly because I prefer to be able to tell both genders apart. (This morning I thought a girl walked into the classroom, turns out they were a guy with long hair and a somewhat feminine body type.) For noses, basically I don't like when they're huge with huge nostrils. I prefer them to be somewhat slender. When it comes to cheeks, as long as they're not too puffy I'm fine with it, I also prefer jaws that stick out a little more instead of sort of "meld" with the face. With mouths, yet again as long as they're not too puffy, I dunno why but I hate huge lips.

Eyes are meh as long as they're not at a slanted angle. (I prefer blue and green eyes, mostly cuz I like bright colors )

Facial hair for me is a big NO! Sorry, but I'm a germaphobe and I find it disgusting that food and fecal matter gets trapped in beards and other facial hair. If anything a lack of facial hair or some minor stubble means to me that the guy cares about his personal hygiene enough to shave.

Also, I chose Miqo'te because I was looking for more of a cute character than an attractive one. Well, by cute I mean I want to grab my character's tail because I like how it's constantly reacting in sync to my character during certain actions, as well as the ears, but anyways, yeah.

This is kind of an unusual topic. Anyways some gay guys prefer less masculine guys, some prefer burly guys. I'm part of the former. I'm not too concerned about looks except in cutscenes, where I prefer to look like more of a story protagonist than an adventurer. (I actually alternate between glamours for the top piece, but I'm really adamant on the shorts. Though you can't see them in the screenshot. (I like legs, so yeah.)

It makes me curious how the hell fecal matter gets caught in someone's beard...

[Aillith]

I need to know about the fecal matter. Is this a guy thing? I date a guy with a beard - there better not be fecal matter!!

I never liked beards either - but my hubby has one and even I admit it suits him much more than shaved. Some guys benefit from a beard.
