Gatta Forte
Thumb us up. The Big Green Thumb calls you.
Ok, so you've all seen the mysterious green stuff that sometimes pops up next to our avatars. But what about an actual aura? You know, one that you could use a color changer (like a custom color map on MS paint and/or a code for a color) to edit and it would surround your avatar in that color. Or you could have 2 Aura items, one for close-in and one color and one for a bit away from out avatar.
But, Gatta!!! The Shadow Spirit has a "Flame Aura" pose!
I know. And it is NOT an aura, it's a ring of purple fire. EDIT: The Magical Girl aura is very close to the definition of a real aura, but the closer to our definition of aura it is, the better! C'mon, Gaia, you're so close to having it right...
And the Mimzy Aura?
Well, it's not an aura, but I am happy, because a branch of my petition, the energy manipulation part, has been answered. (The full reasoning on the psiballs? They are manipulations of energy. Auras=Energy.) I'm unhappy, though, that they called it an AURA.
And about multiple colors of psiball? Well, although it might be nice, I'm not complaining. The Mimzy Aura PSIBALL ( xd ) is good enough for me.
Edit: The Magic: The Gathering Forest and Island orbs look like floating and hand-held, respectively, elemental psiballs in their default poses. Gaia can keep up the psiball-styled things and I'll be happy, but Gaia, I'd love some auras...
Think about the color changing thing for a minute. We can change our texts by typing in almost any 6-character code that corresponds to a color. If you had 2 of them, one close and one far away, almost no 2 gaians would have the same aura, just like real people.
Say wha? What do you mean by other people? You know?
Hell yeah! I happen to be lucky enough to see auras, and I've seen one color close in and another farther away before. And why not for gaia? Then, the only way to have the same color scheme is to either go woth something common or tell someone your code.
Wouldn't the form-fitting around the avatar cause problems for the designers?
Nope. The other items cling regardless of hand position or kneeling, right?
What do you mean about the short and far away thing? If you only had a far away, would there be a colorless band around you?
No. I would say that the close-up would layer over the far-away.
And what about our pets? I want my (insert plushie or animal here) to have an aura!
First we'd have to have user auras. However, I doubt that getting your pets or plushies auras like our real animals would be very easy. The designers would have to do a TON of redesigning.
And items that stick out from our body? Would they be covered?
No. They would layer over all auras like actual items (most of the time. But we're trying to make a designer's life a bit less of a pain in the butt since they'd have to make this anyway if they chose to make it).
For example, say I had a sun staff. It would not be covered by the aura, it would stand over it.
There. I covered most of the basic questions.
A few rules to get us started:
Do not post until I say it is open.
DO NOT QUOTE THE ENTIRE FIRST POST!
If I say not to quote all of something (anything!), don't.
Bumping is only OK if it is done in moderation. In other words, it can be done, but do NOT let the petition become a spam box. One or two bumps a day should do it more than nicely.
ALL ToS apply.

Lalalathedestroyer- for making more example edits!
Rose Bordeaux-For making some pretty rockin' psiball poses!
Clendyx Alexander-for Donating
Duct Tape Girl-for Donating
KingJack!- for donating and being very awesome and now making two new samples (three, actually, but one I had him send on to [~Always_In_Love~]'s petition because it fit her criteria better.)
Your_Destiny_Awaits-for giving me a GREAT deal on the deluxe cat ears. It was from her Cat Item Charity thread. (Thanks again!)
zabazor-for making samples for me!
Black List:
None.
This is what an aura should look like on a person, though I know it's a drawing since all of the pictures that show auras don't represent them exactly, not to mention that anything some would see auras in might not make it obvious to others.
Examples: I know they're not perfect, they're only done in Paint and with two very simple, basic colors. They do not fully show the selectable colors (Since you'd probably use text-shading colors). The multiple sizing is only because some people have larger auras than others (anywhere from less than 1/2-inch to about 4-inches away from the body Steal the examples and suffer the consequences, however...
Close-in only (blue for sample purposes only):
Male:
Female:
Female, (could be brought out just a bit more for widespread. Just a good coloration example. Thanks to [~Always_In_Love~] for these!):
More female, all credit goes to Lalalathedestroyer for these:
zabazor's Aura samples! (Thanks!)
Close-in, arms raised. Just bring that out further for far-away samples.
Hand-drawn auras with more color variation:
A recent idea: The Aura of Roses. It's two poses of the Winter Rose put togetner for the Aura of Roses, but I like its final result...
A variation of the Aura of Roses idea: The Aura of Love. It's the heart emoticon, the Labu necklace hearts, the Heart Shaped Box of Sweets, and the two red heart tattoos put together, and I like its looks...
The Aura of Knowledge: Another aura made of current items, this one uses all of the book items from Gaia plus a pose of the G9 Laptop. Books and the Internet are knowledge-filled, and really cool for an aura.
Far-away only (red for sample purposes only):
Male:
Female:
Both! Blue and red for sample purposes only.:
Edit: Typically these would not be used, save for overlays. Yeah, these are the overlays and bands of color I was talking about!

Female:

Hand-sketched, shadowy unisex body to bring out the aura. Scanned in from a sketchbook of mine. Wow, I could draw a person silhouette half-decently!:
Psiballs: ANSWERED (with the Mimzy Aura, which, as I've said isn't an aura)! Yay Gaia!
Psiball pose (NEW!) (only one sample color):
Forming Psiball:
Holding a completed psiball:
Psiball samples by Rose Bordeaux:

My thanks still go out to those who were kind enough to make me psiball samples.
Flame-shaped auras:
(Hand-drawn in MS paint)
The good one: (Photoshopped. Not the greatest, considering I had to use a picture tube and so the avatar looks more FLAMING-I really wanted it to layer over a picture of real fire, but the white around the avatar made that impossible. T.T)
The BEST one: (I finally figured it out)
Night Aura: (blackened base, bright aura for effect and because Photoshop wouldn't let me recolor the base right...)
"Ultimate Psychic!" by KingJack! (levitation, an aura, glowing eyes, inverted colors, and psiballs)
If anyone wants to edit and/or make a new design (MUST stick to the basic design guideline- as in form-fitting around the avatar), please PM me so that I know that you're going to do it and you will have my permission unless you're going to do something WAY unique.
