Okay long story short, I've had this item I won in a premium raffle about 5 years ago and I just assisted about it. Since it was from Balouga the GM that is on duty said he would redeem it but only until the end of his shift. This is what I look like right now...


You see Lyonis Lawliss the Watcher.
He appears to be a Sylvankind.
He is tall and appears to be very young. He has emotionless violet eyes and fair skin. He has a shaven head of honey blonde hair. He has a delicate face, a small nose and a broad chest.
He has a silver eight pointed star overlaying a single black rose tattooed on his neck, a pair of small ivory bone rings in his right eyebrow, a brown doe tattoo on his arm, and a thorny black rose tattoo on his chest.
He has minor cuts and bruises on his back.
He is holding a suit of gold imflass chain hauberk with vaalin trim in his right hand and a carved ash mirror in his left hand.
He is wearing an onyx-twined dark bloodwood longbow with a violet-eyed grey tree viper wrapped around it slung over his shoulder, a sylvan infantry rucksack slung over his other shoulder, a wide-brimmed black suede hat, a broken scout's compass, a tree bark amulet, a moss-covered leather hunting cloak, a heavy dark wool shirt with long narrow sleeves, a pale grey violet-edged orchid, a miner's pack, a brushed silver wedding band, a mithril mesh gem pouch, an onyx-studded belt quiver, some black mithril-studded pants, and some sylvan stalking boots.


I know I wanted to go with the completely shaven head but due to the format it has to have something with the hair so this is what the GM came up with but I'm very open to suggestions...

He appears to be a Sylvankind.
He is tall and appears to be very young. He has emotionless violet eyes and fair skin. He has a clean-shaven head, with not a trace of hair. He has a delicate face, a small nose and a broad chest.
He has a silver eight pointed star overlaying a single black rose tattooed on his neck, a pair of small ivory bone rings in his right eyebrow, a brown doe tattoo on his arm, and a thorny black rose tattoo on his chest.

I'm not really digging the delicate face and all that. I imagine Lyonis as a stinky, outdoorsy, rugged type handsome type of fella. So what I want to be John Wayne? Just look at that nasty cloak!(which I adore <3). I was thinking of something along the lines of a sun weathered face and things like that. Any help would be greatly appreciated and I know there's some great alter designers on this forum.

Oh and did I mention I only got a two hour window :) And I haven't been to bed yet so I could really use the help. Thanks!

I won't lie, you weren't in my top 5 of likely suspects, but touche. You make me weep tears of purple and gold. My poor gramps is shedding them in blue and white. Though we will never stop believing and will contest the legitimacy of any outcome where the Lakers don't with the Finals to our dying breath. Kind of like any real Los Angeles native would never actually admit Tupac died.

On a side note...

>report Talisker? Could you give me like a ten minute crunch time warning? I got a PC thread going, I'm IM'ng every GS barbie I can think of and I'm even getting high(Don't worry I'm a white kid from Los Angeles, it's purely cultural and in no way implies any sort of ilicit activity on my part)

I dont know stubbled, weathered, face? I cant think of anything good for feature alterations that why I never try to get them most of the time they will put a scar on your face and replace the adjective like a jagged scar across his right cheek instead of a delicate face.

Gaunt
unshaven
weathered

You really see yourself as stinky?

EDIT:I have no suggestions, since I'm horrible at feature alters and generally skip them.

No not stinky even though I said that. I know, I know I"m a hypocrite :( I just haven't been to bed yet and I'm certainly not at my best at conveying what I mean to the world that exists my own head right now. B for effort plz? I like B's

Oh those are great suggestions, thank you! I like the idea of a scar. How does something like a thin scar going across his upper lip sound? Would adding to the word vertical in there to describe it better be too much?

Hmm, I had a scar put on one of my guys and it was in the last line of his description. So you might just go with the rugged face and later on put in the scar.

I don't remember the exact wording on mine since I am at work but it was something like a faint, jagged scar runs from under his left ear to his collarbone.

Not sure how much you are allowed to change, but the hair thing sounds clumsy.
How about a "closely-shaven head, completely bereft of hair"

It makes you sound like you've had surgery to correct hare-lip

Out of curiousity, what's the prize look like that you got from Balouga? I have an old one from a Balouga raffle too that I still haven't used. Came with a cracked mirror, pouch, and I think a blank face figurine (the prize).

Which contrasts with the violet eyes and fair skin.

Not entirely, I have fair skin and am burned too a crisp, you can still kind of tell im fair skinned when im not tanned. Although that could be just because I look absurd with a tan.

Heh, I didn't even notice you replied hon. Multi tasking R hard right now. And you weren't the first, or like even third person that told me that. I feel like we all had an intervention and I saw the light.

You see Lyonis Lawliss the Watcher.
He appears to be a Sylvankind.
He is tall and appears to be mature. He has emotionless violet eyes and ruddy, sun-weathered skin. He has clean-shaven, honey blonde hair. He has a craggy face, a sharp chiseled nose and a sinewy neck. He has a faint, paper thin scar with numerous barb-like marks around his neck.
He has a brown doe tattoo on his arm, a pair of small ivory bone rings in his right eyebrow, and a silver eight pointed star overlaying a single black rose tattooed on his neck.

I don't like your eye alteration and your hair prolly could have been worded better.

I do like this line though: He has a craggy face, a sharp chiseled nose and a sinewy neck. He has a faint, paper thin scar with numerous barb-like marks around his neck.

He has a tattoo of a dotted line running around his neck. At one end, a tiny picture of a pair of scissors appear and at the other the words "cut here".

Lyonis, out of curiousity was the prize:

You tap a blank face figurine in a silver-scaled dark vruul skin case.
>read fig
In the Common language, it reads:
Scribbled on the figurine are the words, "Balouga needs to alter my looks."

Wondering if the one I have is any good.
