Yeah, I've got that thread title stuck on my brain.
Okay, with the REAL ending to our 1-UP Cup bonuses this Thursday, I wanted to hurry up and get a handle on something I've been meaning to do for a while--use AotI's Offline Mode to plan ahead for possible changes in my appearance, since it has access to the RAcas parts set and we don't yet have them. After two days of playing AotI offline and getting what I needed, I came up with a dozen or so variants.
There's way way WAY too many variations I came up with to make a poll over, but in all, my fashion quest revolves around getting myself to resemble my PSO self as much as I can. I'm not yet decided on a mixture of parts to use. I've found that I can't just up and use the RAcas set wholesale, because doing so makes me comically bulky and fat. That's probably because when I started PSU, I was trying to calibrate my proportions based on the starting parts available to us; if I had made myself skinnier I might've been able to get the look I wanted with the RAcas set, but unfortunately we weren't given the option of changing our body's shape and I'm not keen on the idea of restarting just for this.
Besides, many CASTs will likely wear the RAcas set when it comes out, so it might be good for originality's sake if I use a mix. I might even just forgo the idea of a change in appearance entirely, but first, I'd like to hear everyone's opinion.
For reference, this is what I looked like in PSO:

This is what I currently look like. Deja's "cannonface" head is the closest thing to the bird-beaked head I had in PSO, but ... I didn't feel like having a cannon for a face, so I tried for a passing resemblance instead.

I've divided the possible variations into three categories, by color. Lemme know which ones you think look best--either as an approximation of the my PSO incarnation, or as a improvement on my current appearance.

Give me your opinions, guys!
I'm very much open to suggestions and modifications, especially for the head. You'll note in screenshots I flipped back and forth between several variations on my head. If you think there's a better mix of parts/colors/helmet/face that could work out, or if you've got a suggestion for a specific one, let me know that too!
