If I make an elf (this game is LONG, so there are limits to how many times I can play through it) she'll probably be reasonably classically proportioned in the face, but with an unusual skin/hair colour combination. A mage could absolutely work with a big beak!

This first character is blunt, straightforward, basically well-intentioned, and mainly good at hitting stuff. I started another who looks pretty and dainty and sweet, and an unrepentant liar and sneak. I like to think she gets away with it all because people don't suspect her of anything.
