Just an idea I've been thinking about for a while: minions that you can change the race, hairstyle, eyecolor, etc of to make it look like whomever you want it to.

So if you wanted to make a mini version of your player character you could, or whatever else that tickles your fancy.

Maybe even have it so that what ever job you pick for the minion determines what they wear, or have actual gear that you can get to give you minion a different look.

Sounds like it would be a lot of work, but I kinda like the idea.
