Char Customizing - 'Wise One' friendly?

This one just occurred to me out of know where... Has anyone seen movies / screens of character creation featuring the older characters? No, I don't want to RP as that old guy that wants to molest Chris on family guy. It just dawned on me that there are plenty of great characters that are older and unassumingly powerful. 'Sage like' would be a good term. Yes, this is mostly a male trend. Still, one can't knock the impact of guys like (in no particular order):

Gandalf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Merlin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yoda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Magneto (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zeus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Odin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jinpachi Mishima - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Heihachi Mishima - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edge Master - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://img5.allocine.fr/acmedia/medi...5/18377893.jpg (Pei Mei -Kill Bill)
...etc etc...

Personally, having a char that looks like Jinpachi Mishima with wings wound be pretty badass IMO.

You can make old dudes with Aion's character creation easily.

Making old girls though, not so easy.

I was wondering mostly due to the whole beard thing. I've gone over a ton of screens and vids before this, as has everyone else obviously, and I saw a lot of scruff and a pair of side burns but thats it. haha

Ah, no, sorry, haven't seen any full-grown beards yet. Just old well-groomed guys.

However the biggest badass of them all, is obviously Skeletor.

I don't really care for old people in a game. I just think they are about to die and are going to pass the torch to this new character. (In games of course)

Old people kick @$$ in fantasy videogames. Plus they're the only characters in the books with any wit whatsoever. And they are the only people in RL who can pass off white hair as not a freakish mutant. Because white hair on adolescents only works in anime. GO OLD PEOPLE!!!!!!!

How about a character based on Grumpos Matavastros from the old RPG Anachronx.

CBT NA/EU --> report of customization lacking beards, scars et such things --> OBT NA/EU with what we wanted.

The good thing is that, with a CBT, they'll be able to adapt the product to our standards.
