I go with the area. So Black Paragon, Arabian Dervish, Chinese Canthan chars and rather pale Tyrian chars, Ascalon pink.

The many white paragons with that boring "good boy" haircut make me sick... female Dervishes also seem to have the very same hairstyle to 90% as well.

It depends on the face + hair combo, as to whether I make my characters tan or less tan because some just look off with certain combo's. Lately I like tan/sunkissed skin tone. I think a lot of armors look nice with it.

Made all my characters aryan, if i made any characters from nightfall they would be black as all the nightfall faces have big noses and fluffy hair.

Slight tan for mine.

I usually go with the palest one, since I'm really pale in real life. But I don't go to the white pale like some necros have.

As for my second account, it varies based on my mood and the rest of the character's looks. lol

I just pick what I think looks best, although all of my Elonian characters are intentionally dark-skinned because there's so many pale skinned people running around as is, we don't need ME creating any more of them. I just want my characters to look cool, so I pick what looks cool.

All of my chars are palepalepale or normal. I was about to make a dark skinned ritualist, but then I remembered I was basing her off my girlfriend and had to make her pale. @_@ If I ever make a para, it'll be dark.

CHannum · Jan 26, 2008, 12:00 AM // 00:00

It's mix based on what I find best looking from the available character models. No out and out black looking characters, but they range from caucasian to asian to middle eastern.

**cosyfiep** · Jan 26, 2008, 12:01 AM // 00:01

my first was as pale as I, my second was dark skinned....third light, fourth dark (and he looks good in white tats).....5th has a great tan, 6th is normal (neither light nor dark) same with the next few.....elonians: first was normal, as was the 2nd and 4th, 3rd and 5th are dark beauties!
Depends on the character I feel like making---and what hair and such goes with it. I, myself am pretty pale (so pale that my doc when I was a kid used to ask me why I was sooo pale---"uhm, you're the doc!--you tell me!") . I like to look at different characters while I play so I mix it up.

HawkofStorms · Jan 26, 2008, 12:22 AM // 00:22

I tried to make my mesmer look sort of hispanic. Worked well with the shade of hair I picked.
But yeah, depends on character really.

free_fall · Jan 26, 2008, 02:34 AM // 02:34

I also have a range of characters, so it depends a lot on the face and hairstyle which skin tone I choose.

I find that on some of the male faces a somewhat darker tone will often kind of "smooth" out what I guess are meant to be character lines (wrinkles lol), making the face look more youthful or, at least, not tired-looking, especially around the eyes.

Diddy bow · Jan 26, 2008, 02:36 AM // 02:36

All my pve are white, ill occisonaly make a pvp characher black, just for a change.

Phaern Majes · Jan 26, 2008, 02:49 AM // 02:49

All mine are white except my ritualist which I made black.

Rhedd · Jan 26, 2008, 03:17 AM // 03:17

My ranger is half snow white, half blood red.

I just love Highlander woad! ^_^

Kendar Muert · Jan 26, 2008, 03:19 AM // 03:19

I pick the one in between white and black normally. So all my characters have deep tans. Except my nec- he looks like someone sprayed him with white paint.

Sir Tidus · Jan 26, 2008, 04:17 AM // 04:17

By white do u guys mean white pale or Caucasian? If Caucasian, then u can still be tan (like my new char, I made him cuz I didn't like my original normal skinned char. He looked too pale to be a true warrior).

i go with the colorless ones mostly. the one that looks like a ghost.

well, except in Elona! Land of the Rising Sun.... :P~ i suppose all that rising sun makes even ghostly character have a little bit of color.
