EVE General Discussion

Pretty much what i find attractive in a female, and would rather look at a female avatar than a male, i wish ccp would add more hairstyles though

I never created a black female character befor and wanted to create one. simple as that..

That's what I do but I've spent quite a while playing around with the editor afterwards, on all of my characters lol. I haven't spent PLEX on it yet though =x

I see what you did there.

If they're going to be stuck with a face in the upper left hand corner of the screen it might as well be a hot one.

Strangely enough, that's what I do. Then I give her red hair because of reasons.

I tried to figure it out and couldn't.

Hi Serene, to answer your inquiry about us guys making female avatars, I am pretty well experienced in this regard. This avatar you see is my only female avatar here in Eve, she's humble, she's what I would say an average girl next door. Someone you can get to know on a friendly neighbor basis so to speak.

Ashlar is also quite the person that you can count on to take a situation and go with it to get the results desired as far as a successful outcome of anything that falls in her path. She may not be a beauty queen by no means but does in my mind looks nice enough for me.

Being successful is another trait that I try to bring out as a fierce fighter in which she comes out swinging for all it's worth (not with standing her killboards btw) and tried to win a fight in some of the most unequal terms to date.

Ashlar is NOT the ultimate female of any I ever created not only in Eveonline, but also in Second Life where it all began in October 2006. Second Life was and still is the springboard I used at that time to jump in with both feet to literally learn about myself in reality, long hidden feelings about me, long hidden ideas about myself.

Creating a female avatar has it's advantages and disadvantages as well, some I won't reveal. I can only suppose to further expound on your inquiry is that as a member of a relatively small community in Second Life where only 18% of that community is made up of LBGT members.

Other communities where I have female avatars such as World of Warcraft and Guildwars has allowed me to experience life as a female in some respects over others, I say this because this has allowed me to unleash that which was hidden and my friends world wide known about me otherwise, some have gotten very protective of me because they care and love me irregardless.

I hope this will at least give you some idea especially from someone who been there, done it and still does.

As far as sitting at the character creation screen, I took my time to see which race I wanted to portray, it takes some time to play around with the appearance with eye shadow, makeup, hair and hair color. Sometimes I have to start over and keep working until I get the look I want. Every now and then I will change my hair style and pose to keep things fresh, even changing clothes as well.

So, I hope this helps you to try to understand why some guys will make a female avatar, and not one of our real selves.

None of the above. I was mostly going for a sort of "engineer who wouldn't be afraid to get into a bar fight" look, though it didn't turn out quite as I had hoped in the end. It looked a bit more like it when I had a mohawk on her, but even then, the whole "engineer" part was more difficult to hit than not.

Eh, well.

Edit :: At the time, when I was still brand new to EVE, I was trying to make a hybrid PvP+Industry character, someone who could build stuff and PvP while waiting for it, thus the "brawling engineer" attempt. I was going to do this on all three characters on the account, and with "Summer" being more feminine than "Winter," Summer (the second char) was made female.

I realized after making them, when starting to look into the skills, stats, and times needed, that separating the two activities into a more dedicated PvP'er and a dedicated industrialist was significantly wiser than attempting to run a hybrid character right off the bat.

Hmph. Amarrian males are the pinnacle of warmth and kindness, and are a defining sight of youthful virility.

I just wish I had made Evans' nose just a shade larger.

And looking at his portrait up close, it looks like I forgot to turn off the silly scar on the right side of his face.

Eh, well. At least resculpts are fairly inexpensive, so it won't take long to save up for one.
