If you've played APB at all, you know that one of its standout features is the character customization. You could easily treat character customization as a game in itself. The only thing that would make it more fun is if you could do it in real life, right?
Okay, you probably weren't thinking that, but the Realtime Worlds team is, and they're going to make it happen with your help. The Human Avatar is a three-week-long project that begins with players voting on the real-life subject, then continuing the process by voting on his customization: hair, piercings, clothing, even tattoos.
You'll watch the event happen through photo and video updates, and at the end, the subject will be recreated in APB. it's an interesting concept and will certainly merit watching in the coming weeks. Check out all the details -- and get a first look at the candidates for customization -- at the Human Avatar site.

I love this promotion. It is definitely at the core of its design and the heart of this game you to be free to express yourself. I am a big fan of this title for that reason. There is nothing better than running around with a wife beater on with the slogan 'QQ MOAR' plastered on my back!
Look for me in game:
Server - Zombie
Faction - Enforcers
Name - Cops
