Finding both of those qualities in one person is near impossible. Those girls are usually working in movies and TV already. I asked Keira Knightley to play Namiya* but she asked for too much money.

We met women during the casting process who looked like (and often were) models, but they had no interest or passion in the game, and couldn't play the character. That only works in pictures. Our characters are people we want you to actually meet in real life. You know. That thing beyond your screen.

NCsoft's 'live' characters - all seven of them, from Ms Liberty to Gwen to Namiya - are all supposed to embody the character they portray, and I'm proud to say they all do that. Come to GC and I think you'll find both Namiya and Alma will represent Aion very, very well.

Besides, I happen to think they're both very attractive... but beauty's in the eye of the beholder, so I ain't going to argue with you on that.

I think they both fit the characters, I think the problem with the Elyos girl is the wig! it looks weird.

I demand photos of them next to screenshots of their character. Go play with character creation and get at least the faces right, I know you can do it :P and I'd like to see if you can actually go that far with it

I thought of that when I saw the pics.

Although i don't like the hair of the Eylos model, doesn't look very natural. And i still think that she miss that "kawaii" thingy needed to fit in the Elyos role. Like...

She is more suitable to play a dark cold beauty (drusilla, morticia...) with dark hairs.

But she's totally wrong to be an Elyos.

She's the opposite of an Elyos.

You see thats what I'm talking about. You see Rockjaw, that I ain't planing to meet with any one of those charecters live, nor I have the chance to do so. That's why I asked. Anyway at this point I can only stay behind the screen. And yea I think it's rude to think that ppl behind the screen who don't have the chance to meet them live are no lifers.
