He may not be the most handsome, but that wasn't the intent any way.
    A mature experienced Warrior is exactly what I was going for when I 1st started. I wanted a face that was mean and showed he'd seen some shit and survived the worst the world could offer. He wasn't ever meant to be handsome, but a guy you wouldn't want to mess with. I only changed him, because I wanted my wife to have something nice to look at as we play.

    Isn't this the exact point of Highlanders? Everything about them was designed to be scary looking. I'd think a pretty boy would be the village punching bag for wanting to look like a baby face midlander or snooty, knife eared hot shot.

    You would think a pretty boy would be a punching bag, but Oscar De La Hoya, Muhammad Ali, Georges St. Pierre and a bunch of others would prove you wrong. I mean what would you think a pretty woman is going to be, the village whore?! C'mon! Even if a person looks tough, it doesn't mean that he is. Looks mean nothing.

    Basically we all play what we want because we have certain aesthetics that you want to represent.

    This is pretty much all that needed to be said in this thread. I'd also like to add that more variation for ALL races would be a plus.

    1. We're talking Eorzea.
    2. It's different for men than it is women.
    3. Hgihlander lore

    Adventurers are the freak shows. "Basically we all play what we want because we have certain aesthetics that you want to represent." is the adventurer logic. The OP did not specify this, just said highlanders are ugly. However, the reasons we have what we do is because of lore. The player adventurer ideally has some of that lore within their character.
