This video illustrates just a few of the new auras in action. When we first started showing off the character creator in Ship of Heroes, we promised that we would make it bigger and better as the game evolved. And we’ve kept that promise – adding standard faces, many, many new costumes, and other features.

Some are subtle with a gentle movement; others surround the character in a fast moving and wide reaching whirlwind. Combining the aura with a cleverly selected costume can enhance its visual impact and help you tell your character story visually.

At least, this one does."[/i][/b] Characters can look good with and without auras. It all depends on what story you want to tell with each avatar you create. But having a hero that can appear to be constantly giving fiery bursts, or one that is surrounded by swirling energy particles moving in multiple different patterns can enhance your visual storytelling, or really help your roleplay.

There are unlimited possibilities….

Auras are found in the character creator, on the Appearance tab, at the bottom of the Body settings. 2. Auras have color settings that can be customized. Most have two, the simpler auras have one. 3. Auras will dissipate a few seconds after you begin to superspeed or fly, then recover when you stop moving quickly. 4. Auras can be changed in the character creator at any time.
