Due to the complexity of the Character Manager system, it will be developed and released in at least 2 stages:

1. New character generation routines will be developed that will allow GameMasters to create, remove, and modify character features and feature options without need for additional scripting.  This will be the initial part of the release and is slated to be done before the end of the year.  Once released, all players will be sent through a free, one-time mini-reallocation to get their features updated to use the new system.
   Note: I missed my initial deadline for the end of 2007. My new deadline will be for the end of March, 2008.
   Note again: I missed my second deadline for the end of March, 2008. I'm now looking at the end of May as the new deadline.
2. The method of choosing your skills in the Character Manager will be made more fluid and will offer more help if needed which GameMasters may update directly from within the game without need for modifying the Character Manager scripts.  This will involve close ties to the reallocation system as well.

At this stage I have the system developed to the point where new features and feature options can be added. The list of features that players will be able to choose from so far include:

1. gender
2. race
3. age
4. height (with race, helps determine weight)
5. body build (with height, helps determine weight)
6. hair length
7. hair color(s)
8. hair texture (frizzy, wavy, etc...)
9. hair quirks (streaks of color, split ends)
10. hair style
11. eye color(s)
12. eye secondary characteristics (thick-lashed, crossed, red-veined, etc...)
13. eye shape
14. eyebrows
15. skin color
16. skin texture
17. nose shape
18. face shape
19. facial hair (plus color)
20. cheek shape
21. tail length
22. tail texture
23. tail color
24. tail style
25. equine color
26. equine texture
27. equine marks
28. nationality

Bear in mind that more of these may always be added as well as increasing the options available and that not all options will be valid for each race/gender.
