The Cape of a mad man burning with Actual hatred huh...
Anyway, while I am absolutely diggin the knightly form and the ophanim up there
-A Blade Like Quadraped wolf/tiger thing. That is to say, a wolfish creature on sword legs.
-A ring of arms. Like, You got a halo of arms and hands grasping each other, maybe coming out a center point.
-a totally featureless cube.
-A Sword With a Pair of Sunglasses
-Some kind of Naga/Lamia snake person
-Spooky Bedsheet Ghost
-Moe Witch Girl
I'd just like to pop up again and say that while being fabulous, which is an absolute must, we also need to be functional. How else are we gonna be able to pose on top of the tallest cliff we can find? We won't be able to climb up a cliff is we can't move.

I suspect that motion will be a thing we can do regardless. It's just that it's going to be different depending. Knight dude probably has the typical walking, but the rings probably just float around or roll.
So basically the design I doodled below fused together the looks of a knight, ninja, and angel.
The knight part because according to the Ego Mantle description: "The Ego Mantle wields its own self worth as a powerful tool. Their skills involving boosting the self, staying alive, and creating energy and matter from self esteem." And to me that just strikes as something a knight must be. Also because the Naginata can also be used as a spear, which knights that don't use swords use (also axes and maces, but we're talking about Zest here people).
Ninja part mainly because of the Naginata to be honest ._. But it also acts as a way to balance out the knight part. Replacing most of the heavy armor with light, mobile cloth.
Angel cuz of the halo. So I just redid the halo and made the mantle look like wings.
I have yet to fix my doodle cuz I did this in a few mins. But I tried to make it look stylish, functional, and themed for Zest - w-
Halo: 5 detached circle arcs with two prongs sticking out from each of the tips.
Helmet: Combination of a knight's helmet, the Kamina shades, and the face mask.
Torso: Scarf with a short cape (long capes are what kills people), black (or dark orange) cloth underneath, and metallic bracers.
Legs: Metallic skirt for mobility and armor, and the same black cloth for leg mobility.
Mantle: Looks like a necklace over the scarf and cape. Pops up as crystalline wings.

Likely true, but we can't really hold things with rings. How would we fight with the scythe, for instance? Or carry our fabulous stuff? Unless there's a way to gain an inventory without having to lug it all around, but still.

Remember the form is mallable even in this newer core form. A ring would just tighten around a tool. Carrying things can be done by suspending them into the inventory. Remember a ghost can Matter Mold within the radius of it's SHT range. Everything within that range is technically controllable and moveable, beyond its normally rigid state.
I don't expect to see any changes to the designs at this point, but since everyone's still sharing their preferences on the matter I figure I may as well too.
I don't really have a clear image in my head, just that if it was up to me, I'd probably go with something somewhere between this:

Once again the SHT range makes me chuckle. Although, this does give the all to amusing of detachable fore arms. I mean...Who really NEEDS that bit between the shoulder and the elbowy bits when you can just have your hands orbit your body like some kind of satellite.
It certainly makes Jojo fisticuffs and posing infinitely easier when you don't have to break your bones to hit that pose or go fist to fist.

1: Everything everything? Or just our shell? I'm going to assume our shell, but if not just that then could we control the environment in our SHT arms range.
2: Is this form we choose THE form for this shell? Or will we be able to change it again later if we really wanted to? Matter Mold would suggest we'd be able to, but there might be some ghost-shell shenanigans I don't know about that would mean otherwise.

if a piece of our ghost body (ectoplasm or shell) is able to grab something thats in the SHT range, it can be moved. You cannot control something that isn't your ectoplasm or shell.
You can always get another Common-Shell and change your form again. This is THE form for now. When the C-Shell becomes more common, its easy to change your form entirely. Even then, you can just mattermold a different shape for a while if you want a smaller temporary change. This is the form thats the "resting position" of the body. This is how you will feel comfortable and "yourself" for a while.
Did anyone else notice in the Voice lord thing the various references to other stuff? I saw a Registeel (Pokemon, generation 3 I think), a creeper (minecraft), and a couple of other designs I recognized (the snake and ladybug), but couldn't place their exact origin
