The Shadows are all around us
Bal’a dash, malanore, fellow Ren’dorei.
The purpose of this thread is to collectively gather ideas and suggestions for customization options for Void Elves. Blizzard will most probably focus on other races first (looking at Nightborne), but I thought it would be easier for Blizzard to understand our feedback if we collect our thoughts and opinions in one single thread.
Remember you can join below the Void Elf Discord server if you love this race as much as we do!

VOID CUSTOMIZATIONS:
BODY:
- Void tattoos
- Wider range of Voidy skin tones, including a mix of regular and Void-infused skin tones, as in the following image:

FACE:
- Void scars
- Black eyes
- Variety of Voidy make-up (for males as well, this is 2021, Blizz!)
- Variety of Voidy jewelry (ditto)
- Range of ear lengths
- Third eye on the forehead (although cool, I doubt this is even possible)
- Small tentacles for beards and moustaches
HAIR:
- Wider range of Voidy hair colors, including black and white
- Voidy hair highlights
- Void braids, this could be like combining normal hair with a tentacle
- The option to toggle on/off tentacles on any hairstyle, and diversity as well in terms of size and color
- A full-tentacled hairstyle, like Medusa in Greek mythology, but tentacles instead of snakes.
OTHER CUSTOMIZATIONS:
- More variety of Entropic Embrace skin tones, giving us the ability to choose one whenever it procs.
- Let us customize our Spatial Rift racial - I personally would prefer to open a Void portal (like Alleria does) to teleport instead of that almost indiscernable floating Shadow ball. We could also simply disappear and appear using a special Voidy ‘teleportation’ effect.
- This won’t probably happen, but it would be nice if we could change the color of our class spells to dark purple, so as to show we’re using our class powers infused by the Void. Hunters should have the option to transmog their bows in a way that arrows look dark and gloomy when shooting at a foe.
- Not really a customization, but please develop some more lore for Void Elves? Show how they are training new recruits, explain how’s the new Void infusion process, make Umbric show up more frequently, not just Alleria, convert a few more High Elves, especially from the Silver Covenant, show a possible conflict of interest between Alleria and her sister Vereesa in this sense, etc.
- Popular demand asks for more regular hair colors, such as brown, black, grey, white or blond, as well as normal-looking hairstyles. They could always include some sort of Void highlight if Blizzard considers they should look different from Blood Elf hair options.
- Quite a few players have been asking for drastic Void customizations, such as a K’thir face option or tentacles sprouting out of the stomach. I personally don’t think it makes sense, as Void Elves are supposed to master the Void precisely to avoid further undesirable or odd consequences. But that’s just me.

If a TL3 user could do me the favor of posting these images, that’d be great.
