Pleeease add the civilians as Aether rewards! And specific, not random ones. I'd like to choose to look like granny, a chubby guy in a suit, etc!

 

Great for secret identities!

Great for a disguise, when infiltrating Paragon/Rogue isles as an opposite aligned character!

Great for a human skin for non human creatures!

Great for playing a super powered person who just wants too look like a normal human!

 

Pretty please with candy on top?

Is there any chance of adding one of the female PPD officers as a costume option?  (For admittedly selfish reasons.)

Are there existing female PPD officer models?
If there are, I can certainly look into adding them for next Page's Aether goodies.

They can randomly turn up in that Hollows mission that has you rescuing PPD officers. I apologize for not being able to be more specific than that, but yeah, they exist for sure.

The only female cop NPCs are just another model of generic civilian, there's none in the actual PPD faction that players can fight.

Yeah, there are some in game, but as mentioned above I think they are usually NPC hostages.  They look something like this:

So, definitely a selfish request: would it be possible to have JUST the bubble as an option in Luminous? I've been wishing for a "Personal Force Field" bubble-esque aura option for a long, long time, and this seems the closest we've had to it.

...

or, you know, just add it as an aura option. Just saying. 🙂
