Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

It's not difficult to imagine Xaela men as bigger than they are, though. They're already fairly beefy. Lauront and I have both been advocating for a muscle tone slider for the races that lack it.

Just wondering, several people have mentioned implementing a 'muscle slider', but what exactly would it do? Would moving the slider up/down make a character more/less muscular, or do you mean simply making the muscles that are already there more visible(that is, with more definition, shadows, etc.)?

The latter. Some races already have one, like Roegadyn. It doesn't actually add to the character's bulk, but it adds definition to what's there.

I would really like that tbh, I'd use it specially on male miqote since I'd like them to have more defined muscles

Either would work for me. I think we should have both options if customisation is ever revamped, though if I had to pick one it'd just be definition. There's a pretty drastic difference between a 0% muscle tone on the Midlander male model compared to what it looks like at 100%. Ideally I'd like to use something like Hien's model as a base, though. I'm pretty sure he uses an edited Highlander model to have such beefy arms.

I mean Au Ra and Highlander men, who are typically described as beefy, are the same in sheer bulk. I too wish you could make them somewhat bigger, because it'd suit them, but as Theodric said, they're already pretty large and it's not a huge flight of imagination.

Regardless, outside of RP, it's fairly obvious what female Viera are. They just don't have much capacity to look like a male at all - virtually none of the females do, although you can in some cases go with a tomboy look.

For toning. For an actual muscle slider, SE would need to be willing to invest a bit more in the game character creation wise.
