I like to create very feminine, very beautiful characters in my RPGs. I figured it might be useful to have a thread to share tips and full "instructions" for those of us interested in getting the most out of the character creator to build Vs who are hot as the are deadly.
This is the V I'm currently working on. I'm happy with everything except maybe her mouth, which isn't bad but maybe could be a bit fuller. If anyone has suggestions for the best mouth selection, please share!
CDPR: are you reading this? This process would be a lot easier IF WE COULD CHANGER OUR CHARACTERS' LOOKS IN-GAME!!
The idea with this list is for interested creators to quickly build the same character; you can then tweak to your liking, since beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
MY V:
Lifepath: Corpo (I'm listing everything, not just physical options, for the sake of completeness)
Voice tone: feminine
Skin tone: option 1
Skin type: 04
Hairstyle: 12
Hair color: pink/purple (last option, bottom right)
Eyes: 10
Eye color: default (the white cyborg-y ones)
Eyebrows: 03
Eyebrow color: purplish (section option to last)
Nose: 15
Mouth: 09 (this is the option I'm struggling with a bit. Option 9 looks good in the creator; in-game it might come out as a tad thin. Any suggestions?)
Jaw: 17
Ears: 16
Cyberware: 07
Facial scars: off
Facial tattoos: 10
Piercings: 09
Piercing color: pink (second to last)
Teeth: 00
Eye make up: 04
Eye make up color: purplish (fifth option from last / 2nd last option on top row)
Lip make up: 05
Lip make up color: black (1st option)
Cheek make up: off
Cheek make up color: n/a
Blemishes: off
Blemish color: n/a
Nails: short:
Nail color: black
Chest: default
Nipples: 02
Body tattoos: 04
Body scars: off
Genitals: vagina
Penis size: n/a
Pubic hair style: off
Pubic hair color: n/a
Notes: I'm obviously going for a pink/purple thing with V's colors, so I tied to match her hair with her piercings and eye shadow. Black lips are one of my favorite things so I always give my ladies black lips when possible; the black fingernail polish balance that out against all the purple. I chose not to do the reddish-purple teeth because it didn't seem fitting for a Corpo, but this might be a good option for a Street Kid.
Boobs: the default option is actually a pretty nice rack, so I didn't go bigger.
The hardest selections for me are usually: eyes, nose, jaw. Very slight changes to any of the three can have dramatic impacts to your character's look. The eyes I selected because they are intense and smoldering; and I typically find that the best jaws are a bit rounder, as going thin often translates into "gaunt" in-game. Mouth: I'm still playing with this. Options that look good in the character creator are coming out thin in-game, which is WHY IT WOULD BE GREAT IF WE COULD TWEAK OUR CHARACTERS' LOOKS IN NIGHT CITY, CDPR!
I didn't really care for any of the pubic hair options; they ranged from "70s" to "porn robot" to me, which may be fine for other Vs but not the one I'm making. So I went unshaved. This also seemed to fit well with the general blemish-less, pale, un-scarred state of Vs body as I designed it.
Tattoos: I went with the face (neck, actually) and body tattoos I did because they seemed good for a Corpo; nothing that couldn't be covered up with clothing, and not to "gang member." Obviously this should change for Nomads or Street Kids.
Nails: maybe go long if you want to focus on blades.
Skin tone: I went pale, but obviously this can be any color. I think my V has Irish heritage.
Hair: my first attempt, before I found out YOU CAN'T CHANGER YOUR CHARACTER'S APPERANCE ONE YOU EXIT THE CREATOR, had a severe ponytail. It seemed fitting for a Corpo drone, but then I found out you are only a Corpo (or a Nomad or Street Kid) for five minutes or so, and then you're a merc prowling the streets. Hair style 12 is cute and looks appropriate for any stage of V's journey.
That's it. Do you have a V that you're proud of? Share some (or all) of your char creator selections, or reply with suggestions to what I posted. Especially regarding the mouth - I'm still not sure about option 9.
