    I think most Duskwight go for the look I have, namely the lighter skin.

    I do see darker skin from time to time, but more often on males and less often on females (and on my server I'm not sure if it's meant seriously, as it usually is accompanied by makeup options that can at best be called garish).

    Which honestly suprises me, in my mind you pick Duskwight because you want to go for the darker skin, it just seems like the logical choice, but they work just fine with the light skin tone, like you have. I'm personally a fan of darker skin, hence my Duskwight, and even before I fanta'd my cat had a much darker skin than most.

    Ahhh, I know what you guys mean! I made my duskwight elezen (who was my main dragoon in HW even though I have all the jobs on roe) as dark as I could: black hair, darkest skin option, black eyes and cute black freckles. Don't think I'll ever see a copy of him. I'd show a picture, but I'm at work. If interested, you can just write "Etoileaux" in lodestone. As I recall there's no other Etoileauxes on any servers.

    I've actually yet to see a light skinned Duskwight like ever...until this thread. I love how unique it is.

    Which is brings me to the main reason why I love my Elezen: it's different. I love the long neck, I love the long limbs, even the animations have their own charm to me that I really enjoy. I also appreciate how elusive they are. That said, I don't mind added options, it can only bolster creativity, not hinder it.

    As for you female Elezen... Everytime I see you, I stop. And stare. Because you all are so beautiful to me.

    Same! Someone hooked me into the game by showing me male Au Ra and saying there was females too. I was so hyped to be a big, scary dragon mom but then I saw them and it all deflated. They would have been so much cooler if they didn't look lifeless and papery.

    All Duskies on Balmung seem to go grey or blue. I've been mistaken for Wildwood multiple times (even tho I'm... purple-grey?) because I'm not dark. My character is a lot paler in game than in the sidebar.

    Semplicity is the key.
