When it comes to a character's body build, I like to make my characters either lean (though I never drag the scale all the way to the far left. Instead, it's at most mid-way set) or a smidge below the default weight settin'. I normally don't prefer havin' real hefty characters. I prefer the lean and fluffy.
Height wise, none of my characters are at the tallest the game will let me make 'em. I prefer more so realistically-heightened characters (at least what I can fathom out of it). The tallest characters I have are Vespian and Creedance where the scale is set 3/4 to the right so sometimes I come across individuals still who make the two look short, ehheh. When changin' my characters' height, I also tend to keep the length and width bars lined up with the height so, in my eyes, everything's distributed evenly.
