Post Your Au Ra and Concept!

[allgivenover]

 

This thread's output is really impressive! Out of curiosity, for anyone who feels like answering - when you go into the character creator, what's your process? Do you have a specific image in your brain that you finagle the options to match, or do you form your image by looking at the options? If that makes any sense.

 

 

I've been wanting to RP a precocious young genius archetype for a while, so I basically went in trying for the youngest looking I could get. How young I could pull off is actually shaping details about my new main.

 

Exact specifics were totally on the fly though.

Wound up making a Xaela I really like, and decided I'm definitely going to turn him into an alt. Not sure if he'll be Doman or not. Going to be having fun with this character's personality, though.

Those eyes are gorgeous Merri! So pretty. I had a hard time making a Xaela male personally. :<

Judge had one goal - look as old as possible. His placeholder race is Highlander, and I managed to make him look "sufficiently grandpa," so I was hoping to do the same with him as an Au Ra. Which looked like it would be difficult until I saw the older-looking face. And then it all just flowed from there. And, while he doesn't look as old as I'd like him to be... he's still "sufficiently grandpa."

 

Though Clio has joked that he's gone from "creepy grandpa" to "distinguished grandpa." Which, I suppose, isn't such a bad thing.

This one won't be a character I make, but I enjoy the look of em so I made what ifs.  Male faces are a bit too angular for my taste.  Like the horns though despite how big they are..

Best I can do for male Au Ju

[Kishi]

Well, I finally decided to play around with the Au Ra. For now he will have no name or story concept. So I guess we can call him George the Au Ra

 

 

 

[Quuyn]

 

 

Eventually to become my main, I didn't think I'd actually like Au Ra as much as I did. Quite happy with how unique I was able to make him... cause who even likes Green? =|

[Blue]

More dilly-dalling and benchmarking... potential adult Au Ra to accompany my child.

 

[Iflyte]

I'm slowly figuring out how I want my Au RA to look.

 

I've got the face structure more or less set in stone now. I'm just debating which clan to go with now. I definitely want to go with a green skinned Au Ra, so the white scales of the Raen look better imo, but the more war-like heritage of the Xaela makes a little bit more sense with the backstory I have planned for her.

 

Decisions, decisions....ah well I've got what? eight or so weeks to figure it out.

Anyway, here are my current concepts for both.

 

 

 

 

 

[Hyrist]

Yeah, going to preserve this one under tags as this is spoils personal plots.

 

 

My Main, Lin, is in for a shocking revelation as to her origins. (Literally, Ramuh is going to Zap her and dispel a transmogrification she's been under most her life. She didn't even know she was Au Ra) 

Before:

 

After:

 

Granted, Hair isn't finalized, she may still wind up with Lightning's hairstyle. (Fits the 'of the wild' motif for her.)

 

Interesting note, when she was transformed, the tatoo on her Hyr self, which was actually hiding arcane symbols on her cheek disappeared. Lin was simply uncomfortable without markings on her right cheek, so she had some painted on after transformation.

So ready.

Dark Sakura:

 

My Au Ra kunoichi with a split-personality! Thinking of renaming her to a name like Mizuchi~!

[SM Nick]

Thought I should revive the thread!

 

 

Here's Suiren's true form as an Au Ra!

[Aaron]

Any hairstyle that masks a eye is sexy.

 

I don't care what anyone says.

[Gegenji]

I did some fiddling with Judge that I posted onto the Screenshot thread:

 

 

But I'm still doing some fiddling with the face paint to try and make him look as old as possible. I had him with just the "bags" under his eyes, but I'm also considering this one that I use to decent effect on his Highlander form.

 

[Gone.]

I accidentally did a thing about a month ago:

 

 

Kind of fell in love and... yeah. Vetiver is going to get scaly in a couple more days.

[Valtiere]

I decided to go with a Raen as I like their lore much more than I do the Xaela (from what little we have anyway). I don't have a name yet (still waiting on those naming conventions), but this is what I'll be going with on my main:

 

 

 

 

Xaela alternative:

I spent more hours in the benchmark character creator than I'd care to admit-- But I like to think it paid off. (Can't promise he won't still get tweaks come live though.

)

[Altitis Acquired]

So many cute male Au Ra. If you're on Balmung, I'll be coming for your butts! ;3

[Dravus]

I'm still waiting to see what their in-game presence is like to better flesh out his backstory but I've pretty much settled on his appearance and personality:

 

[Artigan]

The Au'Ra are certainly handsome but the smooth skin and rough scales don't really compliment one another well. Aesthetically something is off, but the males do come off as quite masculine, so bonus points on that. I do like their body proportions: not too bulky and not too lithe.

 

I have no real comment on the females, they look good, but the scales still throw me off somewhat.

 

At least the Au'Ra will look badass in heavy armors.

[Flickering Ember]

Please help me cure my indecision! Xaela lore's converted me but I'm gonna try my hand at a male character this time. @_@ Who should I piiick?

 

 

 

 

[Valtiere]

My vote would be for the first or third. Fourth is nice but I personally think the other skin tones look better than the blue/grey look.

[Siha]

I like the first one! There aren't enough green haired characters out there if you ask me! ^^
