One of the most compelling things that makes up the EVE Online characters personality is their personal in-game portaits and avatars.
The EVE character creator has long been a great tool in managing to capture the immersive feeling and personality of ones character.
In some wierd way, I can like the current dust portraits to a degree (a very small degree), but in the end, they just don't make up for the personality of our characters that we've created. Especially since we can't even have light or heavy dropsuit portraits.
And besides, what if a Minmatar soldier wants to show their support to the Empire and have an Amarr background?!
So, I humbly suggests that with Legion, there will follow a Legion Character Creator.
Now, before any Dev or any other merc just stops reading here, let me just tell you (and even show you through a series of pictured examples) how easy and awesome this could be:
- First, since Legion is coming to PC, you Dev people start by copy-pasting the code that makes up the EVE Online Character Creator.
- Then, You choose your race - Caldari, for example
- After that, You choose the bloodline - Deteis, for example
- AND then! (this is where the fun starts) You customize your characters nose and muscles in what seems eternity, until you're satisfied his face is unique enough.
- THEN you choose a dropsuit/frame (Light, medium or heavy) that suits you the most.
- FINALLY, You decide to go for a Caldari Heavy Frame and hit the actual portrait selection, and choose an appropriate Caldari patroitic background.
Additional suggestions:
Maybe have "Legionnaires"/Ex-Dusters in Legion to be obliged to have full dropsuits on them in order to fully accept the character creation and continue to the actual portrait capture screen (where you choose background, lighting etc.). Almost like it is manditory to have at least "bottom", "top" and "feet" layers for EVE characters in order to press Next.
Another idea is to be able to have alternatives on how do use the helmets (just like having differents setups on the Amarrian hoods for example - cover face, applied and not-applied).
This could result in some people having an "open" helmet like this:

In the end, maybe we could then enjoy our Legion characters, with a more personality, when fitting them up for battles.
Just like this:

Yes.
Edit: Helmet removals and similar stuff has been suggested before. I am not alone.

Not giving up.
I still think this is a grand, and important, idea.
We need integrity! We need personalization. We need character portraits!

Sure why not. I mean if most of the tech already exists in the form if the EVE character creator, why not? |

I agree that since this will be on PC, all they have to do is copy the code. But then again, that code is a legacy code meant for the Carbon Architecture that runs Eve Online. Since Legion is going to run on the heavily-modified version of Unreal Engine 3, I don't think copying the code will be that simple.

I agree, but like I said we're talking about porting over legacy code from one format to another. The character creator for Legion might not even look like what we see now in Eve Online because of that.

It doesn't have to look like the EVE Online character creator.
As long as we can adjust facial signatures, eye colours, hair and even add some beard - people will be satisfied!
Would still be awesome with means to remove the helmet in fitting mode/lounge etc.

I hope that there is also the option to select clone aesthetics.
I am hearing what you want, but hear me out.
What if I want to have a clone and save expenses by not worrying about aesthetic frills like ears, eyelids, hair, lips etc?
I mean, if I spend most of my time on a battlefield in a hermetically sealed dropsuit what do I care how I look?
Hell, why have eyes period if most of the time I am seeing through cameras that are jacked straight into my brain?
Why have a mouth if I can communicate with my squad through an FTL broadband wireless connection between dropsuits? It isn't like I can't be fed through an IV or pre-engineered PEG tube (assuming that this meat lives long enough to become hungry)?
Am I saying that I wouldn't want a portrait? No, I am simply saying that we need different options for our Merc Barbies than what is given to the Space Barbies.
We may have been "human" in appearance at one point, though IMHO, there comes a point where you more than likely just DGAF and outward appearance becomes a secondary expense behind battlefield functionality.
