Character for game design - Host & Found

Thinking about the scene for my game design... I want the look of my game to represent a virtual world (world of warcraft) After speaking to my much younger brother (extremely excellent player of nearly every game on the planet... such an advantage) his comments were that one of the main features of online games that a lot of players enjoy is the ability to design individual features of their characters. A lot of games can be disappointing from an artistic point of view, the more detail the better and more impressive the character.

Therefore as an additional feature for my game, the characters (being woodland folk with no modern tech) will have tribal markings or tattoo designs. Each player will have a choice of markings for their character. More impressive marks will become available the more advanced you become as a warrior so to other online players you can compare and evaluate the strength of other players visually.

Competitive and fun... maintaining an interest in the character.
