I like the idea! It’s very unique. Even though male deer are technically the ones with horns—I think in this case they fit much better on female charr. The average female charr is wiry and swift—so deer horns, which show both grace and power, fit them. The male charr equivalent could be the horns of a heftier animal—moose maybe?

Imo the one in the middle is pretty close to the mentioned ram horns, or the look you’re going with it atleast.

Fun fact: horns end in one point (unless tampered with) and are made of keratine (like your finger nails or a rhino horn). Also, both genders have horns. Antlers, of which you have depicted, are made of actual bone and end in multiple points. Antlers are only on males, with the exception of caribou.

So am I for these? Not entirely. The design is interesting, but they don’t scream “I am a CHARR!” at me.

Interesting Iknakh. We all think different and I respect both u’r taste and opinion:) 

But I also want u to try and think in this way… What if we have a charr class that is not a heavy armour “war-machine”, lets say a ranger – a “close-to-nature-class” or a spellcaster  that wants a more mysterious look and yet slender an beautiful instead of the raw look many ppl acociate with charr. The slender and beautiful look can still be powerful/evil/mean looking though – for those who likes that.

I think there should be room for all these tasts when creating looks for the charr – both brutal warmachine-looking ones and more mysterious graceful looking ones

I certainly do appreciate your attempt at persuading me to see it your way, but I remain firm in my opinion. It is certainly true that you can achieve a desired “slender” and “beautiful” semblance while attempting to also look powerful, but to a Charr, beauty and grace take on different meanings. Grace can be achieved with a sleeker, more lithe and wiry framed individual. You can also determine grace by a Charr’s agility and how fluidly they move. Beauty to a Charr is too subjective to classify; however, as I have stated, I do not believe that this antler type is a step in that direction. Sure, they look “cool” or, as you put it, “mysterious and… slender”, but there are other ways to do it that still take on the fierce aspect of the Charr. 

It is also important to remember that all Charr are trained at the fahrar to become a part of the “war machine” of their legion. Even the most “close to nature” class, the ranger, is trained alongside their pet to be ferocious warriors and efficient killers.

So yeah, I am going to stand by my opinion that the idea and concept is interesting and simply not invoking the same  sensation that comes with other Charr horns. Why not try horns from members of the antelope/gazelle family? Some antelopes have very “feminine” looking horns that would still strike one as representing the heart of a Charr:

I’ll be honest, not very Charr-y at all. I’d prefer they stay out of the game.
