Choosable ABO system for your character

[WhiteSnowy1737]

What's your Minecraft Username?: WhiteSnowy1737
What's the title of your suggestion?: Choosable ABO system for your character

What's your suggestion?:
Just as we can define the character's description, size, biography, and background, I thought, why not add a way for the person to manually choose the character's blood type? I know many people think, "Just put it in the character's biography and that's it," but that's for the ID card, for example. The blood type is completely random, and often doesn't match the character's biography. And I thought of a simpler way to avoid people choosing non-existent types, like C+. Just as the background can be defined by choosing from what's available, they could add options for blood types: A+, A-, B+, B-, AB+, AB-, O+, and O-.

How will this benefit the server and community?:
This gives you control over what you want for your character, because you don't have to rely on luck; instead, you define your character's characteristics. This can even be seen more easily in the character description, similar to what happened when they added height—you could define that too. Giving creative freedom to the person.

the bloodtype that is on your ID is just cosmetic, if that is not what you want your bloodtype to be then you can roleplay it out to be another bloodtype. Getting the 'right' bloodtype on the ID card is just people trying to one up each other on how RNG their card was that day.

I get where this suggestion is coming from. As the owner of a character, one should have total freedom over character traits so long as they're realistic and fit the RP setting

However, I feel like letting people choose their own blood type at will may result in them choosing the rarest ones to "stand out" from the rest. As a matter of fact, people at some point used to do this with their characters' eye color, tho I'm not sure how accurate this trend is right now. While it's true it doesn't really provide an advantage over others, I feel like it's best to let the server choose your character's blood type instead of forcing it for personal convenience

Ontop of what @DarkEclipic said, I feel like blood transfusions have a very limited potential for RP, considering the hospital would probably have all blood types on their storage rooms

Commonly used blood types should be set as optional, allowing players to change them once a day, similar to `/setage`.
Rare blood types should be obtainable through Character Authorization Applications.

Everything character-related is cosmetic under these circumstances. I do agree with what Yonio says on players wanting to make "unique characters"... In the attempt to make everyone unique, no one becomes unique in the end. If so, we wouldn't be having LITERALLY EVERYONE trying to be +6'0 "or -5'0". Everyone be trying to be someone, and in the process we just become no one... Sad, but back to the point.

Even if I find it discouraging. I still stand in favor of character customization. As a character owner myself, heh, I want my character to feel 'unique'... Not unique in the sense that I want the RAREST POSSIBLE BLOOD TYPE THERE IS, cause that's just too lame in this server. But I want like... Idk blood types... AB+ AB- and so on. Like the common ones, you know? And as @Joe.exe said, if they want "SUPER MEGA HYPER ULTRA RARE OMG IM UNIQUE AND IM THE MAIN CHARACTER" blood type, then just make an app just like we currently do with height.

But yeah, overall.... If we are -1 on this, I'd argue for revoking/setheight as well, since it's purely cosmetic. But I think we need more options, not just limiting roleplay, even if it's for the looks. There is no reason to not +1 this.........
