Fretting over appearances...

[Cherie]

I've fantasia'd a couple times. I started as a midlander. Then I went highlander cause I wanted to look tougher (i'm a wimp in real life)... Now I'm a Au Ra. Mostly I love how snarky Au Ra's can look with their facial expressions. :P So that's why I enjoy that character now.

I have to admit I'm tempted to try a Highlander again. I kind of miss being one. My first beta character was a Highlander so... I guess I'm kind of small in real life so I kind of like the fantasy of being a little intimidating looking... lol... Like, people don't wanna take me seriously in real life normally... lol Maybe I look silly in real life... >.<

If so many people can't settle on a single aesthetic, I don't understand why alts aren't an option. You don't need every single character to have every class and the best of the best gear, then whenever you feel you're missing a particular aesthetic, simply play it a bit?

I change my hairstyle and glamours on a frequent basis, but the free Fantasia from my veteran reward is still sitting in my retainer's inventory, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

I only changed my character's appearance once throughout the 10 months I've been playing. It was a female miqote with a similar look but it only lasted a week, I missed my catboy too much. So that basically wasted my fantasia and another I bought to change back. Though when I fantasia'd back, I made minor changes like his height.

Since Christmas, I've changed his hairstyle a couple of times; there's not that many hairstyles I think he looks good in. So I've mostly been happy with my character's appearance. c: Though I've been thinking of changing to a lalafell for a bit but I haven't really decided yet.

I have only fantasia'd once into a female miqo'te for only a little more than a week. I liked her, but I love my catboy more, so I changed back. I am thinking if I can get another fantasia, however, I'm going to change into a lalafell for a bit. I am hoping if I did, I'll start loving the game again, because I'll admit, I'm actually starting to get bored of the game after like 10 months of play. Anyone could use a change of pace, right? My catboy will always be the original. c:

I have only changed the hairstyle of mine once, but changed it back after a few weeks. I change my glamour far more than I have fantasia'd. I change every now and then when I find a good looking glamour.

I started as a miqote in 2010, kept it till au ra came out then changed and never went back lol. Now I don't really change my characters looks...I will probably change the hair if they ever give us icehearts hair or that winning pony tail in the contest :/

[Yuinna]

I never changed my character since 1.0 D: I don't RP or anything, but it would "break" the lore if my Lalafells mutates into something else.

I started as a Dunesfolk Lalafell, and that will never change!

Haha. I can just imagine someone's character transforming in the middle of town, a la Animorphs style.

This is true. I've thought about this before.

I guess people like having choice of gear. I don't it would be fun to re-level either, but that's just me.

Imagine playing out a Fantasia through your other self's eyes.

Sitting on the edge of the bed. Knowing you want a change. Nervously turning the bottle over and over. Finally, the cap comes off and you swig it down. You, drowsy, fall into a sleep of chaotic dreams, as the Fantasia rummages through your psyche, determining the "you", you really want to be. Then the moment you awaken, different. The Fantasia mayhap surprised you. Knows better than you. Knows the Truth(tm). So you only *thought* you wanted to be a big strong Highlander man. You must have been very, very good at lying to yourself, because the gentle rise and fall of your new breasts causes you to sit up and give a high-pitched feminine cry of surprise...!

This is fantastic. Thank you for this imagining. Hahahaha.
