OP, I sympathize with the your predicament, but as consolation point out that no cosmetic surgery in the universe can give you a fashion sense.

look at this from an in character perspective

YOU ARE AN IMMORTAL GOD AMONG MEN WHO HAS ACCESS TO MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AT THE DROP OF A HAT TO SPEND ON ANYTHING AND FLY AROUND SPACESHIPS KILLING OTHER GOD PEOPLE OUT OF BOREDOM DOING DRUGS THAT WOULD MAKE NORMAL PEOPLE DIE AND LAUGHING ABOUT IT

i don't see why these people would look like the commoners on the planets when they can afford to fly spaceships larger than buildings and indiscriminately kill people at a whim

if you want to look ugly wait until the WoD MMO comes out and be a Nosferatu

It is extremely short-sighted to believe that thousands of years in the future, a society in a different galaxy would have the same arbitrary standards of beauty that we do. Who is to say that the wealthy would not become bored with chiseled abs and clear skin, and instead adopt the potbelly and slouched posture of today's rulers (the Americans) as a fashion statement?

How about a slider called Ron Jeremy.

Then once a year on Halloween all portraits get the slider to 100%.

Trolling is the word used to describe a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting the players. Posts of this nature are disruptive and do not contribute to the sense of community we want for our forums.



Please do not create troll threads as they are not helpful in the slightest. Additionally, please do not bring politics into this. Thank you.
