Everybody's the same body shape?

I have seen at least one dark-skinned female character (dark enough that I assumed the player was going for an Afro-Carribean skin tone) and one short, fat (but Caucasian) male character. I have noticed that most female characters have the same shape (tall hourglass) and most men share the same inverted triangle (broad shoulders and narrow waist/hips) torso.

I have been relieved to notice, at least, that the clothing options have (so far) led to almost no noticeable repeating.

I've been noticing more short chubby guys which I think is really cute when they're fighting. And I saw one lady with hips, only one though I have seen a couple short thin girls. But yeah, not much diversity yet. I imagine when the masses get on, it will be more of a diverse community.

I personally wish we could design the shape of our character's body. Because I have one girl pirate, and she just scares me by the way she looks. O_o

I picked the better looking one from all of them, but she's still weird.
