RACE Human
Terry was a fairly mild gamer who prefered the default skill levels of humans to the more specialized races. Besides, he thought, There is certainly nothing shameful about being human.
Then, an image of a nude woman appeared on the screen. She was tall, muscular, outragously busty, with long brown hair and blue eyes. Terry felt another surge of panic as he thought about how his friends would react if they knew he was choosing such a well endowed woman as his avatar, and before his eyes the woman's breasts reduced in size. This must be how the appearance setting works, he thought.
Willing the image to change, he made her considerably less busty. Then, in an attempt to make her more familiar to him, he lowered her age to 16. Realizing that the strength level would stay they same no matter what, he reduced the visible muscles to nearly nothing. For he final touch, he shortened the hair from down to her waist to down to her shoulders. Much cuter, he smiled, willing this avatar to be accepted.
Next, choices of clothing appeared, as well as tattoos, piercings, and makeup. With a sort of glee, he began dressing his avatar. First some nice pink panties... He added a bra to match, and then a white medium-length skirt and a pink shirt.
He moved on to makeup, painting her lips a pale shade of pink and painting her long fingernails bright pink. He added a bit of blush and eyeshadow before moving on to piercings. He considered doing something exotic, but decided to just add standard earrings. Not wanting to marr his avatar's skin, he ignored the tattoos and saved the appearance.
The image faded and a long list of the various classes available appeared in its place. The main choices, however, were: warrior, fighter, rogue, mage, or monk.
