Who do you base your character's looks on?
« on: May 13, 2013, 06:18:13 am »
Although I change my soldiers hair and beard a lot, I have based my soldier on my favorite actor Sam Rockwell. My character currently is based on this look.


So he kinda looks like this in game,


Anyways, post the vision of your soldier!

I tend to make my characters look like myself, but with exaggerated features. Not overdone to the point where it's unrealistic looking, like most people make, but just enough to make the character look starved, fat, etc. Depending on the mod however, like Vikingr, I try to stick with a realistic looking character from the time period. So, maybe a very gaunt face, with a heavy set jaw, large beard, period-correct features and hair, etc.

I make my character look like myself but with an eye patch to be more distinctive. On my phone at the moment, later I'll upload a picture if my in game face.
In theory we could do huge player numbers far over 500 players per server...  As such we will surely keep our promise to deliver you the 500 players per server.

We will probably go (far) over it, but that's for later.

I just tried to make my guy look handsome and fearsome looking. Not really based off of anything.

I make my characters like myself, but adding a gorgeous moustache.


This is me in the winter with my horse.

I wasn't trying to offend, just making an observation, and commenting about it.

What a coincidence!  I made my character looking at myself and without knowing of him but thanks for sharing.

PS: Is that from the movie called Zulu?
