Lion character?

Not really sure if I should be posting this here or not, but here goes:

What the heck gives with the lack of lions? I was sorely disappointing to see that the amazing variety of beast heads and sub-options does not include a lion. I was brewing a concept that would have driven me to make my first cash purchase, and was halted by the lack of a mane option under the Feline head. There's even a tail option, but no matching head.

I'm still fairly new, and admittedly the costume options seem...Inconsistent, and generally a bit confusing. So if said option exists somewhere, I haven't found it yet.

And for the record, said concept is a lion paladin with the largest sword the game will allow for. I wanted to go for a sort of super-robot styled armor, while maintaining a royal knight motif.

    Try Werewolf Partial. Hairs have some manetype options.

    At the risk of sounding nitpicky, it bugs me that the nose is the same color as the rest of the face. It should be a few shades darker to complete the animal look. But still, it's the best option and the closest I think I'm going to get.

    Nitpick number 2: Tails clip the hell out of capes. I'm pretty adamant about having a cape so I guess the tail has to go.

    Yup. But mostly just the animal parts. My theory is that they looked at Club Caprice for ten seconds and walked away from it for ever more.

    Can I form the sword?!

    I feel your pain, bro.

    I wish that we had more kitty-head options, with and without manes, with and without sabertootties. :3

    Here's pretty much what I've got:

    Costume_akutenshiizero_Liokaiser_CC_Comic_Page_Blue_408987051.jpg

    I don't have the Devastator archetype yet, but that's the purchase I'd need to make for this character. So I can swing this bad mother around:

    Now I just need to nail down a name. I'm aiming for something that will fit the super-robot/tokusatsu anime feel. I've been using the working name Liokaiser, but it sounds a tad evil.

    just so you know you can get the devastator archetype, together with the viking costume set from alienware arena giveaways for free. that should save you some time/money ;)

    Edit: Also if you can't afford the beast head set to get the Partial Werewolf face, you could try the simian face detail option on the normal head and see how that looks - with appropriate beard and hair it might be good enough meantime.

    I made a lion head by clipping some parts that might be to your liking.

    Here's my take on it, assuming you have all the costume parts (it's been so long since I bought a costume pack, I can't recall what's free and what isn't). The colors probably need tweaked; the brown is so prevalent because I was working mostly on the color of the hair.

    There's a good lion helmet but it's for 300 day vets unfortunately. It's more for lion themed humans than lion bestial characters so I guess that wouldn't help here either.

    Club Caprice. It's where the furries and exiled gods go to cyber when they're not pretend beating each other up.

    Yeah, somebody already mentioned that. I appreciate the tip, I now have the AT unlocked. All that's left is the Werewolf Partial head and I'm good to go. I've settled on the name Granleon for his hero name, with Alezar as his real name. I've even been working on a dark mage jackal named Kaija as his nemesis.

    Despite my pursuit of a lion character, I am not a furry and frankly find them kinda creepy. I'm familiar enough with the catgirls and emo demons from Pocket D in CoX, I just hope creating a feline character doesn't attract any unwanted...advances...Yuck.

    That reminds me of the middle aged Lion-O from the Wildstorm comics a few year back.

    Very epic ^__^

    YES MOAR LIONS!

    Errr.... I mean, rather, um.... please if any devs read this thread please consider adding in a future update a lion head or a better feline head with an optional mane and no saber teeth. Or at least "teaddy bear ears" that would stick out of a beast hair cut. It would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

    Yeah that's the vet piece I mentioned, unless he's been subbed for 300 days he won't be able to see it.

    I use this piece on my alternative Britannia costume....great for her theme, but the piece could have been much better. The mane is not that Lionish, the eyes are a bit blank and god knows how much those teeth would make seeing difficult. Also, how much more awesome would it be if we could use the viper fangs mouthpiece with it.

    Anyway...this is what it looks like on her..........

    OP, it's remarkable how exactly I can empathize with you here. I've just bought up a month of Gold, and I'm wanting to create a knightly lion-man. I share your grievances over the tail that cuts straight through capes and even the partial werewolf nose that doesn't quite work for a cat face. There are times when I very particularly wish we had some pieces from CoX, namely the cat makeup here. In any case, I'll let you know what I come up with, if it's any use. Britannia looks great, by the way, zenith.

    I haven't tried it yet - does the tail still clip with a Short Cape? (I'm not much of one for combining tails and capes, personally...)
