I like the idea of a minion based on a player's last recorded appearance on Lodestone, but not as a package of dispensable minions like presented. I think I'd more prefer it be just one minion with it's appearance decided at the point of sale with a name prompt, in case you want a minion that looks like someone else. But, again, this is a resource intensive idea that'd first need them to make a player blank minion for each race and gender that would be used. They'd probably wind up looking like someone colored a minion to look like A player and not really like the player you wanted it to look like.
