The new character maker looks great... except it froze my pc while I was making mine, that aside...

Question: I can only make Caucasian looking characters; Why? Why not Black or Asian... was New Eden initially populated only by Good Ol' White-Boys?

'Nother Question: With such an ace new tool, why can't I go back and tweak/change my character pic at any time from now 'til the Eve Gate freezes over?

Names... not toon pics are the main way people recognize each other in Eve, so why not allow cosmetic realignment at any time? Just curious, but it seems a waste of fun not to be able to go back and reinvent your look now and then... after all, it's not skill mapping.

It depends on your race and bloodline. For example, Sebiestor are white, Brutor are black and Vherokior are asian. More or less.

Uh, there are 4 oriental bloodlines (Khanid, Jin-Mei, Achura, Vherokoir), at least 2 slavic ones (Deteis, Intaki), and an african one (Brutor)

Not sure how you managed to miss all of those.

I wish we could pick at least a new bloodline, I never wanted to be asian and my original Vherokior looked like a latina!

This is ambigious enough to not be racist.

It's funny because since CCP changed the new player experience all bloodlines ARE created equal.

I'm awesome, just need to sort the snapshot out - didn't realise until afterwards the selected image was for life.

You're an imbecile. You also seem to have a problem with White people, smells like racism to me.
