Yeah - I'm like 5 feet 5 and a half/five feet 6, but I had to make my avatar over 6 feet just to look normal in this land of giants

My 1st character, Judgement Dave, was made about 6' tall - since he was heavily based on my real look (though I tend to teleport less in RL).
Quickly realised in the hollows caves that I kept losing track of him whilst fighting in big teams... mainly because everyone else was so tall.
Virtually all characters made since are at maximum height. The main exceptions being 2 service-androids made at minimum height...

I tend to make characters at 6'3, mostly because that's my height(if I calculated that correctly ) But yes, many times I'm one of the shortest in a team which is a bit surprising.

@Lyrik
Should have said that I have a few characters at normal height (5'6-6'1). I also have a couple at minimum height. The most notable being Mega Midget. Minimum height maximum bulk, although it is ruined when he goes granite armour and becomes a towering rock.

If I'm making a 'normal' sized toon, they're six and a half feet tall just to look normal, since that's the same as a ganger or cop in this game.

I wish there was an easier way for us to showcase our costumes, I'd like to know what you all would think of some of the ones I've done, though none are on par with that Mos Vox one.

I've had one recently - the elaborate tux from the Bridal set makes a really, really good Sharpe/high-end pirate-type military coat in black or silver with gold detailing. Can't remember who "inspired" me to this but thanks.
Is it time for the dance of joy yet?
Well guess I have to get a few pictures of a few of my characters then to put up here. Some are just simple creations but mostly consisting of several pieces and not a set
I have seen a fair few good ones. some are very silly, but still very good. I tend to take demo recordings of ones I really like. One day I may do some images of them.
As for the costume sets. I rather like them as starting points. My fire blaster has a costume that started out as the justice armour set and got evolved. The closest I got to using a full set was the boxing outfit for my tanker punch drunk pappy.
