customisable character


  Today's topic is about customisable character and how would you customise the character. I chose to talk about  Habbo Hotel as it is a game that I used to play often. Anyways, Habbo allows players to create an avatar. If you are a normal user, you are limited to choose things for your avatar. If you are a member, the world of Habbo Hotel is open for you to edit and create. Sadly, I am a normal user and I am given limited choices. 

I chose a female avatar. After choosing the female character, I change the appearance of the avatar. I choose my character to be dark skinned,  a suitable face shape (eyes and stuff). For the attire, I chose baseball t-shirt and blue jeans and red shoes. As a finishing touch, I decided to choose the bun up hairstyle for my avatar. At times, my avatar wears beanie, but for now, she is not wearing beanie.

                                         (Types of clothes and choices of clothes colours)
                                           
The reason why I chose all of the above mentioned things as it represents me in real life. Well, I don't wear beanie but without the beanie, I do look a lot like the character. Ok back to the point. 
Habbo Hotel is a social game which allows you to be anyone you like and express yourself any way you like! I prefer to be myself as I do not want to represent someone else and feel uncomfortable about it! To me, it is about feeling comfortable and feeling happy while playing a game. Therefore, I rather represent myself in this way other than any other ways! :)
Hence, I decided to customise my avatar in this way!
