What's some of the best "characters" creations seen?

I'm posting this question because a few days ago I spotted on DS9 a Mangalore from The Fifth Element movie. It/he was really impressive & very recognizable it was so good.

It just got me to thinking what are some others that others have seen & been impressed by?

Years & years ago I remember seeing the Harry Potter cast down on Nimbus lol.

    I've managed to make (On a Trill mind you) Lucina from Fire Emblem, Red Alert 3 Tanya, Red Alert 3 Natasha, Lara Croft, Sami from Advance Wars, a pretty good Yang Xiao Long from RWBY... Although I didn't change the face at all. Just outfit and hair.

    And the best part of all of this is... can always say our Captains were on the Holodeck. We've seen people dress up for holodeck adventures in the past. So IMO its perfecty reasonable that we can mock up some characters.

    How? We don't have berets...why they had her wear a beret in the first place, I'll never understand - she should've been wearing a ushanka.​​
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    Ushankas are bloody hot in anything but winter weather for starters (at least if it's the hat I'm thinking about), also beret though originally not Russian (it was French IIRC but don't quote me on that) is now pretty an universal sign of special forces.

    Freddie Mercury.

    There are also some very good approximations of Homer Simpson and the Addams family.

    I was hoping that this thread would be about well-written bio's and unique creations btw. :/

    While I've read some that are pretty good in the past it's sort of why I emphasized "seen" & not "read" in the title.

    About your unique &/or original I have to agree there are some awesome ones out there created by players.

    I might've seen that Yoda one, or another Yoda one, awhile back now that you mention it. It was enough for me to pause what I was doing & take a second & third look.

    I agree with the holodeck one can probably always bypass or include it with continuity. C&C was my first RTS game eons ago. I might've seen a Lara Croft now that you mention previously.

    Lara is actually pretty doable with one of the "swimsuit" tops, which actually isn't location locked. Honestly if we could change the color of the tank top we have access to it would be even better. But it is forever gray... :'(

    I only see nightmares, never anything referential.

    I can't unsee some of the things I've seen at ESD.

    Once you get past the Star Trek section (which is great, mind you) there are some really far out stuff. See Ninja Turtles, Simpsons, Spongebob :p

    Wow, the faces of those 3 are really what stands out to me & are well done.

    The hulk is really easy to do with an Orion BOFF.

    The stance, face and colour is easy enough but what would the outfit choices be?

    There's few outfits that are close enough to the standard imperial top, it's not a really complex design after all.

    Mostly Jupiter variant uniforms I believe. The Odyssey Veteran might also make for a good one.

    Wow those are cool! Nicely done whomever made those.

    So glad this is not the City of Heroes Homecoming server. The anal retentive people there would totally lose their TRIBBLE over others making homage characters from existing properties. They outright ban it over there, which is totally stupid in my opinion.

    CoHH probably does it to avoid takedown notices and other copyright related problems.

    And other games have no issues with companies like the House of Mouse and their ilk over copyright and trademark related problems?

    Pretty sure the HC team struck some kind of deal with NCSoft and had to agree to NCSoft's terms to be allowed to run the server. I think the 2 main rules were they couldn't make any profit and they couldn't allow any blatant copyright stuff. That's why you have to keep a secret identity you run around with then switch to your 'real' costume on a mission :D
