MA - Supersize Me!

One of the things I dislike about the MA character editor is the size limitation placed on the characters. Nemesis, for example, I believe is somewhere between 10 and 12 feet in height. The characters I can create tend to blend in with the crowd, even with an aura. Except for clicking on the toon, and seeing "arch villain", I have no easy way of knowing this is the big boss. This is the case, more often than not, when playing against custom factions.

So, I'd like the MA to allow supersized characters. At a minimum, Nemesis height. If possible, I'd like to be able to create GM sized critters ( i.e. head scraping the ceiling type monsters ).

In addition, I'd like to have enhanced auras. Auras that arch out and dominate the room. Lightning, darkness, or Fire auras that extended far from the character's immediate body surface would look awesome and would immediately let the player know "this is something special" before even clicking on the mob.

The advanced auras and size I'd limit to just AV level mobs.

I'd like to be able to make large sized custom critters as well. So /signed for that part.

I don't really care one way or the other on the special auras though.

Ditto.

I have an AV who spawns in a group of Behemoth Overlords, and they all dwarf him, the hardest guy in the map to kill only comes up to the chests of his bodyguards, that just doesn't seem right.

The AV in question is Surtr, the Norse Fire Giant, so that makes it even more incongruous.
