Clay Skin Tone (Aran skin)

Anyone find it weird how the clay skin tone isn't available in game after the heroes update?
It's clearly in the game data because it's selectable through the android beauty salon.
My wife's son and I play and he'd love to use the tone because there aren't that many options when it comes to darker skin tones in game. (IE the skin is either really dark or really pale no middle options.)
This should have been an option in the Aran character creation because it's the canon look. If I recall correctly both Mercedes and Demons have their own unique skin tones.
It would also be nice to have the option to change to this tone with a skin coupon for player use.

Make this happen please!

    I've been waiting for this to come to GMS 2-3 years ago ever since I first saw it on bannedstory.

    Yes to this! Really thought it would be added after Aran's revamp, just doesn't make sense why it's available for androids but not our characters, and like you said, shown during character creation for both Aran and male Blaster, but not even an option to actually use.

    @KThxBaiNao is there any way you could add this to the list of Suggestions and Feedback to be forwarded? Seems like it''d be a simple thing to add...

    PLEASE I NEED THIS. It's really disappointing that Aran's skin still hasn't been made available. I would also really like other colours to be up for purchase please, like grey and light/medium pink?. It seems JMS has all these:

    Wow, I knew about Aran's skintone but I didn't know there was that many different tones. I wonder if KMS and the others have that many too...

    @emperor52 Here, check this out: maplesimulator.com/bannedstory/program#. If you haven't heard of it, it's a character simulator called BannedStory that you can use to plan your in-game looks. This is the updated web version and there's also an older version that hasn't been updated for ~2 years. Both have a lot of problems and it's unknown if they're going to get updated again, but they're still usable. In the new one, you can select different maplestory regions and view the skin colours available. JMS seems to be the only one with all the skin colours....

    @Klara Oh cool, thanks! I've known about bannedstory for a while, but I've never checked any other section besides GMS and KMS. Well hopefully they can add at least Aran's tone since it's already available for andriods, and maybe add the rest later on...

    @KThxBaiNao

    Can you please respond? I think it's fair to say that those with darker skin have been marginalized enough in the real world; let alone on an online mmo where those same people don't have the option to correctly represent their skin pigmentation via in game character.

    Thank you very much and I hope to see this simple update in future patches.

    You think that's bad?

    Right now there's a bug in the game where if you try to create a "tan" or "dark" character, it turns out "light"...
