I don't care at all about this avatar. Actually, I have no idea how it will be implemented. Wait and see for me.

One of the big hooks that made Humankind a 'must buy' was when they announced that you would be able to create your own avatar for the game. I know not much has been discussed, and I'm sure there will be a dev diary on it later, but I wanted to throw my two cents on an idea. I would love to be able to not only create our own avatars but to be able to customize the look of the AI as well. It would be a shame to have all the creative control only rest on the players avatar, but just my opinion. Thoughts? 

Do you mean customise the avatars of other leaders in your game?

Yeah. I figured if we're allowed to create our own leader that it would be fun to create all the leaders (akin to creating your squad in Xcom 2)

I wonder if that would be covered by something like custom factions.

Maybe. I should point out that we can really only pick the basic look of the avatar, the clothes change based on the choices in the game. Still, having the option to select pre-made avatars (maybe even with names) would be interesting. You could end up with a situation where Ghandi leads the Mongols, Tony Stark leads the Roman Empire, or your spouse leading another civ and if you don't want to sleep on the couch you'd better ally with them. :)

You are 100% correct (on everything...especially the spouse bit ^_^). But you hit the nail on the head on the fun you could have being able to design mutliple leaders for a game session.
