hey lioden! this is my first time having a go at base designing, but I thought this would be appropriate being that it's pride month, and that I am trans. this base is inspired by and a strong homage to the transgender pride flag. the main colors are blue, pink, and white.

many trans people struggle with dysphoria; feeling intense unease or discomfort in your own skin, especially in relation to gender. euphoria is the exact opposite of that feeling! feeling excited, happy, and pleased with yourself. that's where the name idea comes from.
(i'm not especially good at naming, so please lend me some suggestions if you've got something better!)
edit: changed the name from euphoric to elation

elation

lineless version

(and of course, since I'm SUPER new to this, i encourage you to let me know how I can improve, or things I could make better!)

EDIT: please let it be known that i would not like the meaning behind the base to be changed! i don't mind a new name, but the meaning is important to me, and i'd rather the base be ignored if it has to be separated. thank you for all the feedback!! <3



This suggestion has 266 supports and 92 NO supports.

Love the base. (Though im more for solid or very smooth/easy blending)
But I dont love the idea of it being known as trans based.
We wouldn't have a feminist/female base, or a Muscline based base. So.. Why others like that?
I think gender/sexuality should probably be kept away from Lioden ^^' (Edit: for bases and other main parts of lioden i mean) I dont think it'll be a good thing with such a wide range of cultures and religions in the community.

Maybe a heaven or sky, or even winter be better associated with it for the sake of the game as a whole.

Edit: Just want to clarify, that I am not against transgenders, or any other gender or identities.

Clans are available as support to trans, gays, lesbians and more. Those might be worth looking into <3

@Fading Angel Well, euphoric doesn't immediately shout trans, so I don't think the name would be an issue, and, while it's ultimately up to Xy, Lioden already has gay encounters in explore and options in certain events ie the may event gives you the option of getting male groupies and the dialogue more than suggests your main male's interest in other males alongside females (even if that isn't what the player intends).

Also, you suggested heaven after saying that it shouldn't be trans associated because of the variety cultures and religions.

@Prince

"Heaven" isn't always associated with religion. It's already a theme within LioDen that we have Celestial-based things, and we have titles like "Heavenly" and "Holy". Looking away from religion, it just talks about goodness and pure of heart.

Just wanted to clarify that bit. I don't intend on causing or adding to discourse.

EDIT: Agreed with the comment below in a way V

Sorry I meet the heavens part along the heavens and hell event.

And I guess what you point out is true. But we still wouldnt have bases for straight people, people born male/female, so I dont see why trans should... Sorry?

Your right the name doesnt shout trans, but the idea behind it, which most users would know, especially if picked it gets linked to the suggestion post.

The "edit" was spelling/little words missed from the sentences being fixed

@ Prince the encounters aren't for one side or another. They make things vague as they have said before so many different things can be interpreted in different ways! Perhaps this is what you could do for the base? I like pink bases after all. Your name for it already suggests vague as you have said

@Fading Angel Cis/het flag is black and white, so one specifically representing cis/het would be pretty redundant. Also, cis/het is already the norm, and why not? It's a really pretty base.

@Aleu & Fading Angel While they are meant to be somewhat vague, it's pretty obvious what they're hinting at ie the primal male encounter where your main admires him and wonders if his fangs are the overly long thing he has.

In the same way, while, if this were to be made an official base, the initial news post would link here, the name of the base is still vague. Even if the name was changed to something entirely different, but the base itself was still kept, the original idea would still be based around trans pride so long as the base is being used.

Adamymous was right about heaven, although my other point still stands.

EDIT: fixed the @'s, it felt confusing

hey guys i appreciate all your feedback! i wouldn't mind the name being changed, but because being trans is such an important part of my identity, i'd prefer to keep my base that way! i'd just rather it not be separated from the message inspiring it. if that means it doesn't get chosen, i'm okay with that!

@Prince I can see how you would think it was obvious but I have always seen it as different and thats why the game does well. Two people can read the same thing and get different meanings.

@Aleu I understand that, but I'm also pointing out that no matter how you changed the name, the post would still be linked here and the base would still be trans inspired, there's no way to seperate the inspiration from the base.

@Prince

I still question why the Cis/Het flag is black and white but okay.

It really is obvious what they're hinting. That was never questioned. I believe the base is really pretty and nicely blended, so I put my Support behind it.

There are just so many pride suggestions already within the past 2 days that even this feels a little redundant in my eyes, so I apologize if I seem a bit exhausted with it. I feel like this wouldn't fit in with this new event (and it wouldn't get edited in time regardless), and thus it wouldn't be able to be released during "Pride Month", but I'd still like to see these colors used.

But I also stand by what @Fading Angel said about some of this, though that is not my main point within these messages. Although the base colors you specified would be a lot like what we already have, you must see that within another perspective as well.

EDIT: Again. The inspiration is really nice and the name is pretty. I am just stating my own views and do not mean to cause discourse.
I feel as if this is important to state when discussing these issues because I've seen a lot of conversations go wrong with these things.

I still dont think having a base, that is pretty, that many would love, be based on a gender/sexuality, would be a good idea. So I have to give a no support.
All our other bases are based on an object, such as flowers, spring, winter, fall, sky. Its not human based. Bases are lions and nature like. (For the most part)

Edit: kinda meant to say that the game is lion based, not human based
