The Avatars

I also would like to include an avatar feature. Which allows players to dress their own anime-style character. Instead of doing something full body I think like a half-body would allow me time to make them more detailed/fancy. Eyes, expression, hair, skin, clothes, accessories would be changeable. Below is an the first concept sketch for the female avatar base

Gender Identities

Currently I'm not planning on having specific male/female labels for the avatars. Rather I think optimal creation freedom would be to have masculine/feminine doll characters and player can create their own origin stories/personalities.

Continued Customization

Whenever I'm playing a pet site game I've always enjoyed being able to add as much personal customization as possible. I'd like to have a way for players to submit their own designs/ideas for avatar accessories/hair/eyes and a process for making them official site items
