Esper/angel transformation

Crumpledmedal- I still have a lot of work to do on a custom hack but i will add it to the top of my list when i get time to do some freework. I don't think converting angel-esper to a male is as easy a task as just changing a few things. One thing about this sprite i didn't like was using a 3rd skin color, but was required for so much skin on the sprite. The 2 tones just looked bland and it was impossible to get decent color separation with the wings added in. A male will be a completely different sprite created from scratch, although it wouldn't be hard to apply the wing sprites i saved in gimp to any current male character. I've never used a male replacement for Terra so maybe if i could get some feedback from others to help establish a picture of maybe what to aim for? for example should i still use the maduin parental gene angle? what type of outfit or gear? i was thinking maybe bare chested gold armguard gladiator type look or possibly a heavy armored paladin-angel type but im just throwing ideas out there.
