Like Faye, I base my character on their background/where they were raised. I don't really care about color or anything, and I'm pretty pale IRL.

It's never really been a concern to me. Val is tanned because he spends most of his time outdoors. Melfice was white, but darkened himself to have a more exotic look. Vallois has a naturally tanned skin and Cyrus is pretty pale.

Irish/English. I can't tan. I was mocked during basic because I was told not to wear a Road Guard vest at night since I glowed in the dark anyway ;-;

Bri is tan. She is the tan I wish I could be! Though after all of her history happened (fall of Ala and death of brothers/father/rebel forces) she took to the desert to be a loner for a bit; thus her tan.

Zy is a pale young lady and I am a brown skinned dood. I like to roleplay something different, keeps life interesting Smile

Artemis has something of a tan, which as a British person, and a Scotsman in particular, is something I can never experience.

Lol im butter caramel ish irl and Aaron is pale.

My two ladies are significantly darker skinned than me. For Delial it was more of an aesthetic choice - I personally find dark skin to be hella foxy - but for Jajara, being one of the last of a long line of desert dwelling nomads, having dark skin just fit.

Hroch and Harvard are both lighter skinned than me. I fit in that "too white to be brown, too brown to be white, not yellow enough to be yellow" category.

I'm fairly dark skinned for a white American (convertible + easily tanned = darker skin), but L'yhta is significantly darker skinned than I am. She spends a lot of time outdoors and I somewhat arbitrarily decided the branch of the Vipers from which she came happened to be fairly dark skinned.

Yeah... let's please be careful about this one.

I'm British and with a pale skin-tone at that. I don't really base my characters off of my myself and I go with what makes sense for their in-game background. In Graeham's case he grew up in La Noscea and so he boasts a notable tan.

Parvacake · **04-23-2015, 04:14 PM**

My characters are usually fair or tanned while Im easily tannable but mostly pale since I lived up north. Slowly working on a tan since I moved to Phoenix.

Lekka Meyren · **04-23-2015, 04:19 PM**

Similar to many others here; Lekka is dark skinned and I'm "Norwegian White". (The distinction is I have such a low D-vitamine intake I need pills in winter)

Mostly aesthetic choice, She looks amazing in yellow.

If a male character, I always play my skin color, white but very tan.

If playing a female it's all about that chocolate!

Hyakki · **04-23-2015, 04:26 PM**

I'm a mutt of Pacific Islander heritage and therefore, not as pale as Seiko.

WRONG! Fat cats are calico-spotted, there has never been a striped fat cat. You're a bad roleplayist for disregarding the lore.

I myself can vary a bit. I tan incredibly well, I can get really dark, but I stay a relative lightish brown tone I suppose. I'm Thai/Puerto-Rican irl.

My characters tend to have very dark shades. Currently I have a duskie. Before that, I had a very dark highlander. In other games that have odd shades, I usually do darker shades of purple.

I have a habit of making my characters generally darker if I can help it. I think it started with the fact that I saw it less often. Unless you count the every popular color scheme of black and red, but that's usually armors. I myself favor golds and yellows. Originally it was just to be 'different' and had little to do with my own appearance, even if I do stand out somewhat compared to some of my friends. As time went on, it's just what works for me.

I do have a few pale characters on other games, but it's lore reasons. I'd argue I'm not picky when it comes to myself, but I know that I'll always pick darker skin out of habit.

Which is funnier yet to me, because I find pale skin really attractive for some reason. A contrast thing maybe?

when i first made her, i had planned on clio being in ul'dah so i gave her a bit of a tan....honestly i think the tan shows up more in the art than the actual character but that's okay. living in florida as a transplant form further north (michigan) i usually end up with a tan most of the year as well just from being out and about (with sunscreen on a daily basis.) sooo overall it's pretty close.

youkio, my rarely used alt is a bit darker but that was more a ascetic choice cause it looked good with the hair color o3o
