Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[CoolDad]

I wonder what's happening in this thread today it wasn't too bad last time I chec

Just curious if anyone else in here has made a "male" Viera character in the game using the female base. I'm pretty proud of mine.

It's a her and looks like a her.

they stomped their foot down saying it's a her, which was rude since the poster said their intended gender for said character, it would be like going up to a trans person saying you are x gender no matter what they think otherwise.

Well... let's see. It is a female Viera. And it looks like a female Viera. Seems like a case of calling a spade a spade, to me.

There are no "trans" characters. You either pick male or female. On top of that, they don't even have the Mario Bros. mustache, plus they have pink hair and a pink sweater. It doesn't look like it's even trying to be a male at all.

Oh, I'm sorry there are no males yet!

We’re in Emperor’s New Clothes territory now!

To be fair, this had nothing to do with gender politics. It seems like more of a role playing thing, and yes, the comments have been kind of dismissive.

If people are making male vieras using the female base I think we should respect their decision. The character and the drawing looked really great. There's not really another way to play as an "official" male viera yet anyways.

I've seen crazier Rp tags compared to this

They're free to do as much. They're under no obligation to be praised for it, though.

As I pointed out last time somebody posted pictures of the exact same thing it makes more sense to use one of the male racial models as a base and stick some bunny ears and tribal gear on them. It's not the best workaround but it strikes me as a better fit than the female model by virtue of actually being distinctly male.

I don't think anyone's trying to be "praised" for it. Until male Viera are revealed and playable, everything else will be "fake", so it's either playing a male anything and calling it a Viera (and we've seen the downsides of using the bunny crown, namely inability to use glasses and the friggin crown), or playing a more masculine looking female Viera.

From what I've seen of people sharing their "male" Viera, they're mostly sharing the tricks they used to appear as such, and people trying the same asking questions about the same.

This is a really long thread and I dunno if I wanna sift through 800+ pages to find it, sooo...

Here's some screenshots of the character in game:


And I did a super quick draw-over of that second screenshot to render the character as I see him:


I'm glad there are options for armor that flattens the character's chest, but unfortunately there aren't that many that are usable at lower levels. I think the sweater works pretty well, though. The scarf definitely hides breasts.

I'm also hoping we get more options for curly hairstyles in the future. While the short hairstyle we do have is pretty cute, I'd enjoy something with a little more bounce.

Definitively a great option if u dont wanna wait until 6.0. Also, the drawing is amazing

I'm in agreement - I think SturmChurro would be pretty great at a party!

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh not too sure about that, I'd have to meet them irl first
