Bringing the "Soul" Back to SL Starter Avatars

OG Resident
The new Avatar Welcome Pack is a huge win. Seeing brands like LeLutka and Legacy to give new users a high-quality mesh head and body is a game-changer. It’s a massive upgrade that helps new residents feel like they belong right away.
That said, I think we’re missing the aesthetic diversity of the old starter avatars. The old library had a "vibe" for everyone. Whether you were into Gothic, Fantasy, Urban, Non-Human styles. It allowed people to immediately pick an identity they actually identified with.
While the new avatars look amazing, they are currently very "standard". I believe it would be much more motivating for new players if they could choose between styles that let them define who they want to be in Second Life from day one.
The tech is great; we just need to bring back that variety so players can find "themselves" the moment they log in.

Allowing other head, body, hair, clothing, etc designers to be involved would be helpful.

Many designers used to offer outfits for those that were of a certain SL age. I don’t know if it’s still going i haven’t seen any lately

Yes Firestorm had top designers donate. Both clothing and mesh heads. I would also, keep in mind these welcome avatars , are new out and who knows what is being planned.

Having a few shape and skin combinations and a couple of new outfits should accomplish that, I think.

I am a designer and I for one would be happy to offer an outfit for this purpose. I believe if we all used our talents we could help promote sl in a great way.

it easely could be solved by offering outfits donated by creators on the welcome hubs... as for example Firestorm i think, in a small setting already does.
