Cat eyes - vignete effect - may strain eyes

Fly eyes - repeating vision the way compound eye vision is represented in the movies may cause motion sickness

Smol eyes - Things close to the center are blurry. May strain eyes

"Insomniac" eyes (the ones with red veins)  - Wavy vision, may cause motion sickness

Alien eyes - Green vision may make objects  in the game slightly harder to recognize, im not sure

Spoiler 2: About the way  I incorporated the theme and character creator

I kinda love character creators, but sometimes i feel they're too inconsequential for my taste. My idea was for every customizable thing to affect gameplay on a slightly unexpected way, however only the eyes currently do that. I was thinking about making the gameplay somewhat chaotic and with the theme in mind. In case your wondering, i found there's a few problems with an idea like this, specially for humanoid character creators that are for less goofy games, more roleplay oriented games. ideally you don't want to force anybody to a certain gamestyle without them  knowing so communication is key, its also important to avoid stereotypes and balance the choices somewhat, you shouldn't punish players for the characters they want to play.

The reason i've thought about it dates back to me trying some mmorpgs some time ago, i remember Neverwinter let you chose your character's background, at the time i thought this changed the starting tutorial but recently learned it does nothing. There's nothing wrong with that, it still cool and gives you some idea of how to play your character if you're really into the roleplay part, however experiences like this have left me craving character creators that help me feel the character i made connect a bit more with the gameplay.

Sorry for the weird rant, may rewrite it later, i didn't write it on the best state of mind.
