View Full Version : Short Characters - why do so many people make super-short ch



doubleEXP
Apr 2, 2007, 02:50 PM
I recently returned to PSU and I noticed, more than ever, TONS of people have super-tiny midget characters.

My Newearl is like one-head-heigher than shortest. Just tall enough to not look like a child. I like to be as short as possible but still look like an adult. If you make your character super-short the head is so big compared to the rest of the body that it looks like a child. That's because when we grow up the one part of us that doesn't really grow in size is our heads.

So, looking around and seeing all these 'children' is sort of weird, in a way. It doesn't bother me at all, but I was wondering why.

Is it because people want to be as close in height as possible to their pm's?

Or is there some other reason?

Just wondering.

That's cool. And like I said (and I meant it) I have NOTHING against short characters or the players that play them.

Just wondering why. So, for you, its a 'cute' thing. Nothing wrong with that. Anyone else?

I'm mainly interested because when I played PSO, especially in the early days, I mostly remember super-tall characters. Except for Japanese players. They sometimes ran around in little packs of über-chibi-tiny-kawaii packs. But they were rare enough that they stood out. Now there's so many super-short characters that my relatively-short character is practically a giant! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

I made Valkyrie short because... well she's cuter that way http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif. She would just look off if she was any taller. Valkyrie is at that perfect height, not too short to look like a child or a midget, but not tall enough to be considered average height.

Now Virgo on the other hand I kind of made after myself, above average height, but not freakishly tall (I'm 6'2" o.O;). Only thing is I made him kind of skinny, they don't have broad shoulders in this game without 1) Making your character look fat, or 2) making it disproportional to the legs.

It is impossible to make a character that has a bigger all around build in this game... -.-; no matter what the legs stay skinny and it looks goofy.

doubleEXP
Apr 2, 2007, 03:04 PM
Yeah, I made Caprica 6 just about average height (same height as Maya Shidow, as it turns out). The reason is obvious (well, its obvious if you're a fan of the new BSG): she's based on a non-short character: Number 6 (aka Caprica 6).

There's also a very practical reason--if your character is a house, you can't see a damn thing.

Tiyr's medium / shortish, and I'm find with her, but if I try to play my CST ranger DarkBlock, who's modeled more after a RaCast and is a veritable monster, I can't see anything he's firing at that's not gigantic, unless I'm in first person. Invisible Bel Pannons are not fun.

One advantage of short characters is when using the goggles to target trees you don't have to adjust your angle, just face the tree and turn them on http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif
Also, smaller characters look like they're moving faster, even though they're not.

I didn't mean midget (in the topic title) in an insulting way, just as a size-reference. No offense meant!

EDIT: I edited the topic title so it wouldn't seem so insulting. I hope you all can tell I'm not trying to be judgmental (sp?) or start a flame war or anything. I really am just wondering!

So far there's been some really good replies:

* cute
* character IS supposed to be a kid
* makes it easier to aim
* makes it appear you are running faster

No, you are right. They are all freaking midgets. I'm pretty sure the entry level for Guardians is probably 16-17 years old. They don't make kids into guardians, gawd.

Exactly! Well, at least for me.
I loved my chibi caseal with her HUGE shotgun back in pso. Unfortunately, the rifles on my current PSU caseal doesn't look that disportionate than it did on PSO.

Play story mode ftw. The minimum age to become a Guardian is 14.

Anyway, I made Janie short for the novelty of a tiny, adorablebuckets little girl swinging a Bigass Sword around. It's kind of funny to watch, and by the time it started to look kind of ordinary to me, I'd gotten Emotionally Attached to the Character, as tends to happen. (Helps that she's maximum muscle, too, 'cause it makes her look right cool in clothes that show her arms and shoulders--the contrast between height and build is spiffy.)

As far as I'm concerned, people should make their characters however they damn well please.

Also, short beasts are not necessarily children or midgets, per se. The handful of you that actually played story mode to find out what the hell is even going on before you just jump in and flap your gums would know that small beasts are a normal variation of the race, ex: Tonnio Rhima, Liina Sukaya. I personally haven't decided Janie's age, but I know she's at least 14, so I've decided she falls into the "small beast" category.

Ah, so moé is sorta like 'chibi' but its based more on personality (youthful, flawed but working on the flaw) and not as much based just on looks. I think I get it. Thanks.

I'm not one really to have issues with it, I tend to take action more than anything. Not as a way to say so many short characters is bad, but I tend to love to make characters that aid in *balancing* out the place. Part of it is definitely trying to be as original as I can, and the other part is to self-contribute to the great variety and melting-pot the society can be.

My dream, of course, is to see people of all kinds of forms, intermixed, in a great smorgasborg of variety. So what do I do, contribute to the more *rare* pool in hopes there's more people like me ready to make the place more dynamic.

The only way I judge other players is by how they act when I play/chat with them, and that's it. However, I will confess to not playing Story Mode ~ I'm into PSU for online mode only.

Wasn't talkin' about you, Hon'; I've asked the same question you have, despite playing a damn loliburger myself.

Incidentally, I have two more characters at this time. One is short, but not chibi-short; she's fun, because her guiding principle is "You never expect the short, chubby teenage girl to be the one to kick your ass." The other is rather tall--I tried to match her to myself, so six feet--but I probably made her a smidgen on the tall side. But I suppose that's not a big deal, as everyone in the game has their own perception of how tall a given height is, anyway. All I know is that she came out quite tall but somewhere around a head shorter than the tallest proportion available, and a little thick around the hips, as intended.

EDIT: Once my brother grows bored of the game (no idea when that'll be, but hopefully sometime soon), I'm making a CASTazon with the character slot that'll be freed up. Tallness + the caseal's very knight-in-shining-armour clothing options = winburger. (I'm envisioning the Digiel arms and torso with the Batrelle legs, in conjunction with max height and a good amount of musculature.)

LOL, after seeing so many peewee characters on PSU, that was when I made Nougami. I made him as tall as the character creator would allow and I also gave him Kustarika shoes, which make your male characters a little bit taller too. At least I know which character is mine in a crowd. Now if those damn midgets and lolis would stop kicking me in the crotch and kneecaps.

It could have something to do with the fact that people don't often get a chance to make loli characters in any other game in this fashion that is presented to us here. It has a lot to do with the anime "feel" this game has. It's easy to make a smaller char here.

However I can't seem to make my chars any less than average height. Ein's a towering monster,and Vic is straight out of a shojo comic. I will admit a loli character is rather amusing to see in combat. It's just something out of the norm.

I generally view people with extremely short characters as people trying too hard to be cute. Doesn't mean that's always necessarily the case, of course, but it's usually the first thought that passes through my mind. Somebody once told me that the fatter and more grotesque a person is offline, the smaller and more adorable they'll try to make their in-game-self.

Of course, this topic did come up before. I remember when I first introduced Mufonna, and I basically made a statement about this, back then. PSO was rife with short characters so much, that mid-sized and tall were a rarity on some servers. (Guess that's why my 2nd character was a mid-tall human)Mufonna was to be an enigma character. The tallest yet the most adorable cute-style I could muster. A cross-over of the two extremes. Kind of a Saccharin-filled bundle of cuteness in a tall amazon. It was actually done in premonition that PSU would turn out like PSO, for that regard. I guess I have to thank all the chibi otaku for giving me the idea to create her.

I've got a male cast, and the guy's as small as he can get. A few folks already nailed my reason; I think it's hilarious to see something that small with a way-too-large gun. I mean, heck, his grenade launcher's got at least six inches on him.

As I stated in an earlier topic everyone has the right to create what they wish.

But I'll admit it does irritate to a degree. This "little kid with a huge weapon" trend is severely over done these days, and the over saturated cuteness also irks me. Your running out and murdering the local wild life, for comedy or otherwise its immensely out of place. Not to mention I also grow severely tired of the pubescent hero clich'e. Be it par with the course with RPGs or not. And also, I LOATHE high pitched squeaky voices...

But I digress. Again, everyone is free to make what they like and I won't persecute anyone for their character ever. But if they have that right to make such things I have just as much of a right to dislike it in moderation.

Indeed. The squeeky voice is creepy. I was playing with a full bearded, squeeky voiced midget. It was very, VERY creepy.
Anyway, I wanted to make Jess shorter than average. I didn't notice how short she was when I played with some big hunters :/
But she's not among the shortest character out there.

Kitty Zelos is my 12 year old with big green eyes... she got in the guardians illegally!!! >.>;;;

Kitty Arika is my 2nd shortest character... I guess about average for the age i'd say she is... which it be 15.

And... E-126 Omega... My goliath... He's at maximum height, widest torso, and has the largest CAST part combo... Boxtos Arms, Giminas Torso, and Boxtos Legs... So he's a fudging giant.

Eh... People make minish chars to be cute, young, midgeted, or evasive to vertical hits...

so... My kitty Zelos was made to be young, and as cute as a fluffy wittle kitty!.

I did not remake any of my past PSO characters on PSU, but I did continue my trend of making every single character minimum height. It doesn't matter gender, race, class, nothing. If I make them, their minimum height.

White Out is short, and thin, with big breasts/butt, like I made her in PSO. Pancake is Maximum height, and girth, like I made him in PSO. Sunrise, and Black Queen are my new PSO characters, they are both short, but I haven't decided how I will remake them in PSU.

Well, I made my female CAST ranger small (not smallEST, just small) because I like the idea of short female androids with big guns. Yes, I do.
Just as I like slightly feminine guys for mages (FOmar) and tall and powerful males for warriors (HUcast). (Tall and powerful males can be replaced by slightly feminine guys for warriors too though, just not as warrior-ish)

Apr 3, 2007, 04:16 PM
I made Elly, as I recall, a bit under female newman default height, figuring it would be about right since Elly is on the short side in PSO.

...The prevalence of overshort freaks makes her look gigantic in comparison. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

On the bright side she looks old enough to be legal.

Alis is shorter than Elly is, in grudging recognition of the apparent fact that if she wasn't, she'd look huge next to everyone else. (Ah well, Alis *wasn't* legal anyway...)

Somehow my cast ended up tiny. Same height as Lou. WTF. XD;

Nai is tall, like he's supposed to be. ...But sounds like he's a teenager because the male voices all suck and are retardedly deep for half the yells in them otherwise. -_-;

I dislike kid characters, especially when in the game you can't have a kid as a character. Small beasts, sure, but it's never a beast. It's a human or a newman. D< Come back when you've got hair on your chest, kiddo.

With my chars, Ronin Cooper is slightly above the default height for humans, 'cause I'm not exceedingly tall, nor am I that short.
Ria is supposed to be exceedingly short for her age, it's part of her character.
Bob I originally made as a joke, so I gave him the bulkiest possible proportions (with his armor, without making him fat) at the minimum height and gave him the deepest possible voice as a joke.
Yulie's a bit below normal height for beasts jus' 'cause I felt like it http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Considering what I have for a title, it is a requirement that I'm fairly tall. I got to have a super-model look, and being sexy is most certainly not being a damn midget! Though it does kinda scare me that I'm one of the tallest fortetechers I've seen O_o. But either way my pigtails hairstyle is used better than what shorties can do with it.

Nova is fairly short, but not that short! I assume that shorty people in PSU are like 13-17 IRL, that's why I wouldn't be caught dead doing that. Hell, most of the shorties even act kiddie. Also Nova is proof that minimum size is required for a cute look.

Da ANA is max size, but that not what makes him intiminating. There are other reasons why people fear him, which I will not discuss here. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

Appologies, but my dimensions and the reason for them are a secret to Vector Industries...even from me. I have, however, hypothesized that the difference in realian statures comes from the specific purposes they were designed for.

Weapons grade realians are as mass-produced as the weapons they handle. Scaling down the weapons or using them with a smaller stature and handicapped handling would not be cost nor combat effective. Specialized realians generally require more resources and are much more limited in number than thier weapons grade counter-parts. Communications, intel (ex. Observational series) and mission critical realians (ex. U.R.T.V.s) were disguised as children to seem less threataning and make them less likely to be targeted in an attack.

Considering what I have for a title, it is a requirement that I'm fairly tall. I got to have a super-model look, and being sexy is most certainly not being a damn midget! Though it does kinda scare me that I'm one of the tallest fortetechers I've seen O_o. But either way my pigtails hairstyle is used better than what shorties can do with it.

Nova is fairly short, but not that short! I assume that shorty people in PSU are like 13-17 IRL, that's why I wouldn't be caught dead doing that. Hell, most of the shorties even act kiddie. Also Nova is proof that minimum size is required for a cute look.

Da ANA is max size, but that not what makes him intiminating. There are other reasons why people fear him, which I will not discuss here. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

My 3rd servant is still a secret. Won't be small though.

Oh, honey, that's so typical. Do away with the Hollywood mindset. Beauty and fineness come in so many shapes and sizes.

That aside, I'd also note that not all of the shorties are kids, especially if they're beasts or CASTs--CASTs are born fully grown, and small beasts are a normal variation of the race (both tidbits plucked from Story Mode).

Most of the my characters are withtin pretty good heights My main is male beast so hes im guess about in the 6 foots, my 1st alt is a female newman so shes proabably in the 5'5"s my next alt is another male but hes human so he proabably in the 6's as well and my last is a female beast proabably around the late 4 foots early 5 foots

I made my character extremely short, because newmans look kinda like those LOTR/WoW elves and I despise those. Also, it's a game and it's fun pretending to be shorter than you are in real life. When I'm like 6'0 tall IRL.

In a way I don't have to make a small character because of my PM (its a GH410)
I make my characters a bit smaller than default height

If your character is small and your partying with your PM, what will happen...
the way I see it is that midget chacter wants to be PMs
In away I understand small characters;
1) when they get the rappy suit, they will mingle with wild rappies
2) when we get new clothes they can compete with there PMs

Well, typically in MMO's, I modle my characters after myself in some way.

Furiden in PSU, who was my first character, is a little higher than average heigth, (like me), and has the black spikey hair, (like me), lol

My first alt followed much the same look.

But my second alt...yeah, hate to say it, but he's as small as you can make em'...

Now I'm 17 years old, not an emo, or a anime nerd, I'm actually pretty athletic as far as some sports go, so I'd consider myself just like the average joe...And I don't know what it is about playing a short character, but it makes everything a lot more funny, lol. I don't really take it as my character being a little kid, more of just a small race, since he's a Newman. Kinda like the Tarutaru in FFXI, or Gnomes in WoW, they were just as old as the other races...they were just shorter. xD

I dunno, kind of gives the game a more friendly, comical feel when you're playin a midget. If you've never tried it, you should. =P

My last girlfriend left me when she heard some nasty rumors. "You're a pedophile!" she said. I replied to her "that's a pretty big word for a 9 year old!"

I made my character shortish (about 25% on the slider) because I like short girls.

I hear the shorties use their hight to dodge megid and run under ragan's tail, one also inadvertently glitched through a laser fence on crimson beasts, donno if it was a height clipping though

I made my character short because it makes all of the weapons look extremly big. About the dodging and going under de ragons tail stuff, I dont know if height affects that... anyone test it with a taller character to see if they can do it too?

I have an alternate character that's short in order to take pics of other short things (http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f92/Miredexistence/PSU/RappyPaska.jpg) at eye level.

Btw, for the record, my character is medium height, maybe even a smidge under medium height, as you can see here.

She's about the height of Maya, maybe a bit shorter, and Maya is hardly the world's tallest character.

P.S.
Don't ask what I did to get Maya to point her crossbow at me. Let's just say friendship only goes so far when rappies are in the offing. 0.0

I made my beast char kind of small he is a few notches under the center line i think i wanted him to be a small beast cause i thought the small beast in story mode was cute. I like small beasts ^__^ but he is not the shortest.

Are people still trying to justify their Nabokovism? Stop beatin' around the bush, you sick little monkeys! You're unable to establish meaningful relationships with adults, so children are the only impressionable moldable naive people left. It's okay. Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.

I have a theory, that in any videogame, MMORPG's especially. That, tall people like to play short people, short people like to play tall people, boys like to play girls, and girls like to play boys.

For example, I am a 6ft tall male, and I always find that I like to play short women as my main characters in MMO's.

I'm a six-foot-tall transwoman, and I play a six-foot-tall transwoman on PSU. Maybe I'm just strange.

Also, I'm totally going to make a character because I find her uber-hawt. She's going to be a seven-foot-tall, broad-shouldered CASEAL. There's your admission I'd play a character just 'cause she appeals to my deviant desires, but she's a big'un, so shush about all this pedo business.

I purposly made my character a tad taller because I knew people would notice. By just being a bit taller. It makes you stand out. Great for convensations. Its a way for somone to break the ice. I just respond to it. Cause I am expecting it. (^_^)
You only have to be taller the amount is irrelevent. i made my character female because the first force on PSO on SEGA DREAMCAST R.I.P... was female so I made my character like her. The tradition continues on PSU.
