Big Blood Elf Customization Thread

Been a long time since I posted this and its been quiet here for awhile so I’m just gonna throw this up again.

Some of it needs updating given some things that have come to pass but I think most is still valid.

Blood Elf Customization List

Still a work in progress…

Eyes, Hair and Faces
A great deal of options remain unexplored in regards to hair, eyes and faces and should be added to give Blood Elves a greater amount of options. Eye colors especially could be expanded for not only several new shades but also for greater player options.
Hair for Blood Elves should be expanded to show not only the prim and proper high elf styles but also to represent the militaristic Blood Knights, the wayfinding Farstriders and the cultural spread of Horde styles found among the orcs, trolls and tauren.
And honestly… just more face options…

New Eye Colors including, Amber, Orange, Red, Pink and Black. Colors that also sit between green and gold, green and blue and green and purple to represent blood elf eyes shifting from green to either blue or gold.
Phoenix Eyes
Heterochromia Eye Options using all available eye colors for either left or right eye.
Blind eye options for both left or right eyes with options for every color available.
New Hair options including shorter medievial military hairstyles, Curly hairstyles, Farstrider braided and dreadlock hairstyles and Horde based hairstyles.
New Hair Colors including more shades of the hair colors we already have as well as pink and proper black.
Eyebrow options including short, medium and long.
Beard options including long full beards and different separated mustache, sideburn and chin options.
Additional Faces.

Sub-Races
There are a few Sub-race options that could easily be applied to Blood Elves including Darkfallen, San’layn and Felblood Elves.
Though the Darkfallen now also include Dark Rangers/San’layn as the same thing the differences between them compel me to place them seprately.

Dark Ranger Options.
San’layn Options.
Felblood Options.

Heritage Armor
Several additions could be added to the Heritage armor or changed to make it feel a little better overall.
This includes a better Boot option that is more in line with the gauntlet, a Lor’themar style coat for the hips and legs and additional color options.

Paladin Mounts
While the Thalassian Charger is wonderful and emplematic of Blood Knights, its getting along in years now and could use an updated model.
Alternatively a new model using either a Courser or a Hawkstrider would be a wonderful addition to update the model and bring it more in line with the newer chargers added since its creation.

New Classes
Some new classes have been suggested for Blood Elves, specifically Druid and Shaman. Depending on how the classes were done both could be good additions to Farstrider ranks.
Though the druid could be done as a arcane Botanist bending nature to their will.

Druid
Between the Botanists of the Botanica the closeness of Tauren and troll druids and the Farstriders closeness with nature alone Druids make a good potential class for Blood Elves.

Shaman
Though only one individual there is already at least one thalassian studying the elements. This could easily be expanded out. (I suspect the Farstriders wouldn’t mind the help of shaman.)

Feel free to toss suggestions at me to add.
