You can certainly make an angel glow with the current auras. "Death glow" could be tricky, since dark colors are less visible, but I think a Tendrils aura with a mid-dark purple would work well.

And ghosts already use Tendrils too. Don't really see how different a Ghost aura would be.

I do want the radiation aura. Rad Blast has always had really cool graphics, so something based of that would be pretty good.

What I think would actually be cool is if we could pick body parts that actually WERE an aura, rather than a 3D model. Say, for instance, I'm picking wings, but instead of physical wings made out of... Matter, I pick wings made out of light? Or a head that isn't a head but just a glowing blob.

The easiest example I can think of is what a Dark/Dark Scrapper turns into when he's running all his toggles and hits Soul Drain - a glowing yellow man of light inside a big cloud of tendrilly darkness. On a per-body-part basis, this could be really, really cool. Imagine a solid body, but with arms made out of energy ala Robotic Arms (e.i. from the shoulder down). Or a man in a heavy coat and pants with a head that's just, say, flames. The options are plenty and, best of all, shouldn't really require new technology to implement, just new costume pieces made up entirely of sprites, or 3D but textured to look like fire or energy or what have you, kind of like how Energy Blasts are made.

Come to think of it... Just look at Fleeting_Whisper's avatar for a graphical representation

You might wanna explain these auras a bit more... I think that people have different definitions of 'Death Glow' as someone else. It's not a universal understanding of exactly WHAT this implies.
