Okay. One random thought and a large shoutbox discussion later, an idea has been formed! :O
It started with my asking if logically maybe each planet had its own native tongue but everyone knew a universal language to make it easier going through the Portal Nexus, and evolved into the idea of people from each planet looking different based on their need to adapt to the world around them.
Relcorians would need to match their diverse planet, so we decided on maybe having them like the people from Avatar? |D Scrians would have to keep themselves warm on their cold planet (I know clothes exist, yes) so they might have feathers or fur, and be avian-like? Since there is no way every single Atquatian would fit on the few islands they do have, maybe they have gills and are fish-like? And Refliemians would probably have something tougher, maybe like the rock that forms after magma cools but more skin-like?
We thought it'd be a good idea to implement that like skins, kinda almost like the idea on Flight Rising where you can apply a skin to a dragon to change the way it looks, only with the HAs on Res, and they would probably need to have the lineart edited a bit to allow the textures and such. (for example, fins on Atquatians or feathers on Scrians) o3o
These skins, we gave them the ti
tle Planet Skins, could be available through a quest of some kind? We couldn't work out whether they'd be better account-locked or not, but that's why this is just a suggestion. xD
It's just a raw suggestion, totally open to prodding and changing, but we thought it was pretty cool :D
