Really Bad Alters

[SpunGirl]

I'm really getting the feeling, from that outfit, that Starshadow fanices herself just a teeny bit evil.

EVAL, EVAL, EVAL!!!!!!!

-K

[Adhara]

A woman walking around in public wearing only her underwear is more likely to look like a loony à la Lady Macbeth than evil. Maybe I should point it out to her.

[Trinitis]

Well, not to defend such a horrible alter..but she is wearing leathers.

Wait, got the whole thing.

You see Great Lady Starshadow Kinslayer the Soulslayer.
She appears to be a Dhe'nar Dark Elf.
She appears to be in her golden years. She has silver-flecked stormy grey eyes and black skin. She has very long, braided white hair streaked with silver. She has an angular face, a classical nose and sharply-curved pointed ears.
She is in good shape.
She is holding a spike-ringed deep black staff in her right hand and a perfect black essence rose in her left hand.
She is wearing a crystal amulet, some black leather ankle boots, an enruned deathstone pendant, a deeply hooded dark leather cloak with an onyx Mularos clasp, a rotting halfling head necklace, some fitted grey casting leathers, a mesmerizing black amulet, a shimmering shift made from a deadman's shroud and carefully painted with hellish flames so real that they actually seem to devour the trapped souls among them, a flawless soulstone clasp, a jet black glaes spider charm, a wild black rose, a small obsidian rose pin, a twisted dark silver headband, a deathly black totem bag shot through with veniom strands, a silk-threaded black stave harness, a gold ring, a darkened silver wedding band, a linked ruby demon miniature bracelet, and some deathstone earrings.

I think the rotting halfling head really pulls the outfit together, don't you?


think how big this would be. I wonder if it spins.

SPIN IT!
SPIN IT!

[SpunGirl]

I wonder if the staff she's got has spides all over it, or an open place for her to grip it. Or maybe she's so hardcore that she just impales her hand with the spikes every time she picks it up and she's like, "Bloooooood, yum."

I want a box painted that way so I could open and close it and cackle saying "I got me another one!"

Haha, this is one of my all time favorites. Has a real "Blades alter" feel to it.

[Shari]

While I'm sure some of these things have been posted, I thought I'd give you the whole package...

You see Tsin the Master Rogue.
He appears to be a Half-Elf from Ta'Faendryl.
He appears to be as old as the hills and much taller than average. He has barely-open, bloodshot blue eyes and naturally sun-tanned skin. He has balding, bone white hair with chaotic spikes. He has a slightly crooked nose and thick bushy sideburns that connect to a scraggly growth of white stubble covering his jawline and thin, slightly pointed ears. He has a massive bulging chest, broad towering shoulders and a thick muscular neck.
He has an elven seductress tattoo on his arm, and a Clan Jakarta tattoo on his neck.
He is in good shape.
He is wearing some ancient brass battle armor inset with an elegant ruby holy cross, a tiny clear glass vial labeled "viper anti-venom" suspended from a black chain, a blood-soaked bag which writhes as if it has something living inside of it, a weathered hemp necklace with a sharpened war griffin talon dangling in the center, an engraved silver cloak clasp displaying a flying war griffin carrying a mangled halfling by the ankles, a faded black leather toolkit clasped with a war griffin talon, a pitch-black four-fingered rolaren ring encrusted with sparkling rubies rising from the surface to spell out the word "TSIN", a spiney leaf-green lizard, some reinforced mithril alloy sweep-guards, some padded dragging gloves, a tiny viper-shaped hatpin, a flexible alloy-meshed harness, a Castle Claedesbrim pin, a transparent urglaes infinity symbol containing a petrified troll heart, an engraved silver circular tag, a mithril alloy bounty hunter's flask engraved with the words "Death is Inevitable", a wacky ale-stained red party hat sporting two elven maiden-shaped ale mugs, a dark green interwoven belt, a cloak of cloth so fine and dark that it swirls around the body like a shadowy cloud, a charred spidersilk pack, some faded black trousers tightly cinched with a drawstring, a ruby amulet, some padded mithril alloy boots, and a gold ring.

I would have edited out the mundane stuff, but I thought it was necessary to better enhance the fugliness of it all.

[El Burro]

[AnticorRifling]

So he stopped going from head to toe in mithril-alloy and now he's on a really ugly shit + war griffion crap kick? Whatever floats your boat I guess.

Boomsplat has a similar ring that says "BOOM"

[Shari]

Yeah he was being a jackass in Nontay's wagon earlier bitching at people who were going to use war-griffin talons in their alters that someone left on the floor for anyone to use.

He said that unless you were able to hunt them should you be using them in alters instead of sporting a fake trophy.

Then everyone got really sarcastic saying they'd have to start hunting silkworms, pumas and the like and he finally shut the fuck up. Thank god.

Ugh. He's a mishmash of crap.



He has barely-open, bloodshot blue eyes

I guess he sleeps with his eyes partially open.


naturally sun-tanned skin.

Internal sunshine, I guess?

I don't think I even want to know.


an engraved silver cloak clasp displaying a flying war griffin carrying a mangled halfling by the ankles

Just how big is this cloak clasp that I can see this from several feet away?


a tiny viper-shaped hatpin,

Erm, any hat? Or is it stuck right through his head?

Whoever made this should be fired.


a cloak of cloth so fine and dark that it swirls around the body like a shadowy cloud,

:?: I have no idea what this would look like. A giant, dark cotton ball?

I know I have some tacky items, but at least I'm not a walking disaster.

two words: dude wtf

You see High Lady Nynaere al'Mearra the Master Rogue.
She appears to be a Dark Elf.
She appears to be in the spring of life. She has sultry crystal green eyes and olive skin. She has waist-length, midnight black hair interwoven with silver highlights that ripple softly like a moonlit sky. She has a delicate face, a classical nose and high cheekbones.
She has a tattoo of a black widow spider perched upon an intricate silvery cobweb on her wrist, a raging warhorse tattoo on her arm, a deep black deathstone stud in the upper ridge of her left ear, a spiked black deathstone stud draped with intricate silver cobwebs in her right eyebrow, a midnight black deathstone stud with silvery cobweb-etchings in her left eyebrow, a deep black deathstone ring in her left nostril, some sleek lustrous onyx rings in the upper ridge of her right ear, a deep black deathstone spike in her right nostril, a short deep black onyx spike in her lip, and an ebon-studded silver half-ring in the middle of her nose.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing an assassin crest, a vermilion vultite shield set with an onyx black widow, a veniom-threaded midnight black spidersilk backpack trimmed with pure silver studs and clasped by a glistening black deathstone catch fashioned into the shape of a grinning skull, some thigh-high raven black leather riding boots embroidered with sinister looking silvery elven runes, some black leather pants embroidered with silvery cobwebs and adorned with deathstones up the sides, a fitted raven black leather bodice loosely tied at the top with black leather cord, a floor-length black leather cloak stitched with intricate silvery cobwebs along the lapel, a vaalin and deathstone ring, a glossy obsidian nose ring connected to a fine silver chain that leads to a small diamond earring, a sinister onyx wedding ring capped with a flawless deathstone in a blood red glaes setting which makes it appear to bleed, a spiked black leather armband draped with silvery deathstone cobwebs, a shadowy black wristlet etched with silvery cobwebs and manacing deathstone spiders, a slim onyx and deathstone bracelet, a shadowy black loot sack clasped with a black deathstone in the shape of a menacingly spiked spider, some blackened elven battle-gauntlets with razor-sharp blades protruding from them, a jet black glaes spider charm, a furry brown spider charm, a wild black rose, a black deathstone key suspended from a ragged leather cord, a platinum deathstone studded flask with intricate silvery cobweb etchings, an ebon-hued obsidian gate pin, a spiderweb covered weapons harness, an enruned deathstone pendant, some deathstone earrings, a slender silver waistchain of interlinked polished deathstones and sparkling ruby hearts, a blood-red thorned rose stickpin, a deathstone studded steel brooch, a macabre black onyx skull necklace with sparkling raven black deathstone eyes, a black deathstone necklace, a black deathstone bracelet, and some silvery rolaren battle plate with carved deathstone skulls set upon the shoulders.

Thanks for that. I'm twitching now.

I used to think "death and destruction" type of alters on swords were UBER AWESOME.

Especially weapons with names on them.

My favorite was this sword named "soulstealer".

A co-worker of mine's friend started working for our company about 4-5 years ago. At the bottom of his ears were what looked like big balls of flesh. I thought it was either something he was born with, so I never brought it up.

One day he came in and had bandages on the bottom of both his ears. Still not wanting to embarrass myself or him - I went to his friend (my other co-worker) and asked him.

Evidently a few months before starting here - he got into a fight and the guy ripped out both of his earrings (and pieces of the ear along with it).

Ouch.

My ex had nipple rings, he went to a metal concert and moshed.. I'm sure you can imagine what happened when someone snagged his ring, with a finger, while moshing..:eek:

Okay, I just had to grab my boob in agony of the thought of that happening.

At my friend Marmirette's wedding, she let her maid of honor have a custom made dress.. the dress was painful to look at- it was forest green and complete with tafeta, and sewn onto it were rubies.

I almost cried when I saw it.. it is possibly the most hideous gown I've ever seen. I mean.. who pairs the color Forest Green with Emeralds for a wedding!??

I'm sure she meant rubies as the first paragraph of that post said :cool:

[SpunGirl]

This is the worst outfit I've seen in awhile:

You see (Name Omitted!) the Thug.
She appears to be a Faendryl Dark Elf.
She appears to be in the flower of life and shorter than average. She has almond-shaped jade green eyes and olive skin. She has long, wispy claret-hued hair accentuated by numerous tiny pink braids. She has a heart-shaped face, a button nose and a generous mouth.
She has a small lockpick tattoo on her neck, and a tiny diamond stud in her lip.
She has old battle scars on her right leg.
She is wearing a blood-red thorned rose stickpin, a dark leather locksmith's pouch, an intricate silver wedding band incised with a spiral of tiny tea leaves, a shimmering rainbow cloak embroidered with a wolfpack frollicking with a shadowy rogue, a white ribbon choker fastened with a tiny pink mouse cameo, a silver-traced pink peridot choker, some leather gloves emblazoned with a snarling dragon clutching a pink scarab, a pair of pink mouse-print pants, a lustrous white crystal bracelet, a pair of thin gold rose-motif spectacles, some white leather thigh-high boots back-laced with pink ribbon, a soft baby pink nightcap tipped with a fluffy white snowball, a white back-laced corset exquisitely detailed with a pattern of pink mice, a shimmering pink peridot waist-chain, a tooled leather lockpick-case, a flower-tooled raspberry pink pack, a bejeweled and gilded mesille longbow hung with golden feathers, a blood red armor, and a gold ring.

I especially love the "picture" cloak (vomit) and the pajama pants and hat with the corset.

How the fuck would you represent this with embroidery. reminds me of the saying. Do you ever stop to think...then forget to start again. This GM should be stabbed in the eye with a pointy stick.

Suavementasious removes a shiny black invar claidhmore with braided roan horsehair braided about its hilt from in his black weapon harness.


I think this claid would look better with some braids on it. Maybe if he braided it with a falchion. He could braid it. In braids. With braids.

And his name caused me to weep. He's the kind of person who ends up with a dumb nickname because he has a dumb long name. But that's another thread.

Well, you can make anything in embroidery. Even extremely complex things (I had to do this crap in highschool, when the hell is life going to REQUIRE that I embroider??)

The question I would be asking is how did they fit an entire wolf pack on one cloak?

Things like this bother me almost as much as rings and other small jewelry with elaborate scenes carved into them. There can't possibly be that much room to carve an entire scene with a fallen ranger being brought back to life by a heroic elven cleric!

I dunno about that... I've got a ring in real life with a cameo of a man and woman standing (full body) facing each other holding hands in a forest.

Not to defend that hideous cloak, of course.

The thing I object to most about that sort of stuff isn't the size of the scene they're portraying, but the detail that seems to come out of it. I get irritated with most professional alters as it is, but the worst is stuff like the tapestry cloak trend.

How could I tell the fallen person was a ranger? Would it be a bow? Anyone could use a bow. Foresty-looking clothing? Anyone with half a brain could tailor their clothing to their surroundings. A rogue is equally likely to blend in with their surroundings as a ranger.

As for that cloak... How can I tell that wolf pack is frolicking with a rogue? The shadowyness? As if rogues have the monopoly on shadows. A lockpick case? What differs a lockpick case from any other case or wallet on the outside? And other professions can use lockpicks too.

Bah. All encompassing professional labels are just a pet peeve of mine, along with the misuse of the words incised and inlaid and such like that.

[The Cat In The Hat]

True, they were sposed to be doing away with alters like "A warriors cloak" so I dont see why they still allow things like that.

[AnticorRifling]

That's not a valid point Cat. I can look at a jacket and say ohh that's a ski jacket, ohh that's a biker jacket, ahh he's wearing a bomber jacket.

Certain styles, fabrics, cuts lend them to be a certain profession's clothing. It doesn't mean the person wearing them is a skiier, biker, pilot, but the fact remains that's what those items are because they were made for that profession.

She is wearing a dwarven emergency ale kit, a sinew-cinched packrat pack, a moonlight silver silk bodice, a witchwood-rimmed thunderstone pin reading "Have Needle - Will Poke" in bold letters, a silken totem bag, a dwarven witchwood ale keg, an engraved mithril ring, an ancient rat hide tips belt, a pair of oddly-shaped spectacles, a bloodstained razern beard clip adorned with a tiny silver rat, an enameled invar beard clip, a patchwork dwarven cooking apron, a tattered and bloodstained skirt that has tiny flecks of dried herbs stuck on it and is edged with faded Ralgrenek runes, a rune-etched rat bone nose ring, a pair of crude rodent fang earrings, an onyx-twined pale silver crystal, a water-filled moon-phases talisman, a tiny beanbag rat, a luminescent potion-shaped toadstool, a silver and invar slogan pin, a green toadstool pin, an onyx-beaded urnon chainlink handflower, some slender wickedly sharp fangs, a blackened vruul-skin thigh-sheath adorned with oddly enruned Zelia symbols, a splotch of dried blood, a splotch of dried blood, an oddly enruned gypsy talisman strung with a chaotic array of healing herb and root charms, an ancient athame sheath, a gnawed petrified peg leg, a whorled dark crystal anklet double edged with tiny razern-tipped rat tooth spikes, some ugly wooden clogs adorned with sparkly rat-shaped buckles, a crescent moon shaped Handmaidens constellation talisman, a dragonfire opal charm hatpin, a mechanical dwarf pin, an oddly-runed dwarven lucky charm, a catnip-strung dwarven cat bag with the words "Bag of Chaos" haphazardly stitched on one side, a silver-chased faintly glowing glimaerstone bangle bracelet adorned with tiny crooked crescent moon charms, a black diamond mournbloom stud trimmed in white gold, a pointy rat fur witch's hat, a curvaceous dwarven witch's corselet, a wild-eyed silvery bearded lizard, a lustrous deep golden amulet, a crescent moon clasped bag, and a small metal device.

And I thought looking at Finis with all his LONG descriptions were bad...

Certain styles, fabrics, cuts lend them to be a certain profession's clothing. It doesn't mean the person wearing them is a skiier, biker, pilot, but the fact remains that's what those items are because they were made for that profession.

w00t

<True, they were sposed to be doing away with alters like "A warriors cloak" so I dont see why they still allow things like that. >

There really wasn't no point in that, was just a statement of what i thought to be true. Aparently they allow them again and thats fine.

My empath dresses like a ranger. Not one single item she wears would lead you to believe she was an empath. If you were to put her on a cloak, how would you tell she was an empath? I believe thats the point she was trying to make which I said "true" to.



[Edited on 3-17-2005 by The Cat In The Hat]

[SpunGirl]

Yeah, what Cat meant (I think) was that an embroidered rendition of a person wouldn't necessarily be a rogue, a warrior, a ranger, whatever. Saying you have a towel "embroidered with the image of a warrior" on it doesn't make much sense, because how would you know that rendition was a warrior and not, say, a bard? You could say, "embroidered with a giantman holding a huge axe," that might make more sense.

The most obnoxious altered shoes I have seen in awhile:

a pair of frosted pink high-heeled sandals accented with fluffy white crystalline feathers

What... the fuck... is a crystalline feather?

When I first read it I didn't see the "fluffy" in it and was like, "Well, maybe they're carved feather crystals?" and then read it again and was more like, ":?:"

[DCSL]

Well, that's coming from a person who wears all one color *constantly*. You can't expect that much in the way of taste.

I'm afraid... I'm very afraid.


But I'm also thinking of turning all my character's long description items into shows actually. Reading these posts, I realized, the horribly long alterations, I ignored. So people may commence their bitching in GS again of me altering items that are already altered :?:

That never made sense to me either. The point of an alteration is to take something you don't like and alter it into something you do like.


-Melissa

[Asha]

Whenever someone shows me their BIG show on an item I ignore it and just say 'great'.

Another thing is tattoos, I never look past the first one and the same theory goes with a WALL of text where the clothes should be.

I tend to like reading shows on stuff because it gives me ideas plus I like seeing what other people make.

[SpunGirl]

I think it really depends on the item. I have a lot of short-description (15/15/15) alterations that don't have shows on them, because really, there's just not that much to be said about a grey suede satchel (or whatever).

When I'm coming up with an idea for a specific outfit, I like to make one or two pieces long description items... but you really have to leave it at that. More than a few and everything runs together. As an example, I had some clothes made on the boat - the bodice is "a demure grey silk bodice with a garnet-beaded neckline."

If I wear "A long garnet silk skirt with a ribbon-tied waistband and garnet beading all along them hem," with that, it looks retarded. Istead I just had "a long garnet-hued silk skirt." If I want to add those details, I can do so in the show. It's all about the mix and match with the shorts and longs.

-K

[Pallon]

After a careful inspection you determine that a rolaren-edged crystal-hilted longsword with a sinuous diamond-patterned rattlensake with bright dragon's-fang quartz eyes wrapped around it requires skill in edged weapons to use effectively.

Heh, my old wiz owned that longsword a long, long time ago, and possibly even thew an enchant on it, i don't remember. He got it thrown in on a trade for something, I don't remember what it was (was probably close to four years ago) But it was the ugliest thing i've ever owned in my long career of gemstone by a long shot.

What the mother pluck...?

She is holding a burnished gold-runed elven kabuki with a polished black glaes-inlaid mempo in her right hand.

[HouseofElves]

Wait...isn't that the word for theater in Japanese?

And I looked up the mempo and that's a Japanese helmet but um...I still don't get it.

[Edited on 4-14-2005 by HouseofElves]

[Pallon]

Is that supposed to be a Japanese mask or something? Looks like Kyalia smoked a bowl and started handing out batshit insane alters again.

[AnticorRifling]

Reminds me of the movie KABUKI MAN!

[Shari]

She is wearing a shimmering opal rose, a green modwir symbol of Imaera inlaid with a golden sheaf of grain, a golden Kuon symbol, a cactacae spine talisman, an emerald silk hooded cloak, a petite ivory silk sundress, a tiny ivory corselet, a Lady of the Green constellation clasp, a small rose, some fingerless silk healer's gloves, a ruby-inlaid gold wedding ring, a long wispy ivory chiffon hip-scarf, a petite ivory treat basket, a small lunch bag, a dainty ivory silk medic kit, a pair of thick gold shackles, and some delicate silk garden sandals.

Can you guess what profession SHE is?

It wouldn't be so bad, but wtf is up with those shackles? I mean if she kept her but parked in TSC all day then okay...

Aw shit, I just gave her profession away. /sarcasm

[Stunseed]

The lunch bag is kinda cool, though.

[isebumples]

some shadowy black onyx-tipped boots fashioned in the shape of dragon claws

eww

[Viridian]

I believe the worst and most horrendus alters I have ever seen, have been those found on Kaustic, long and gaudy comes to mind.

Not to mention he takes up the whole damn screen.

The thing about that that strikes me as odd, is that its not just a kabuki.. (and mind you I have no idea what a kabuki is) But that its an ELVEN kabuki.
Don't ask me why, its just odd to me.

Me too! :D

[Parker]

A cuddly bear of destruction and catastrophe?

Some of these alters...consider what they'd be like.

Anything with destruction runes? Aren't runes supposed to hold some sort of power?

Glyphs do, my rogue discovered, aren't runes similar?

So, along that line of thought...shouldnt' these items covered in runes of destruction just magically combust and save us from further suffering at having to look at them?

[Terminator X]

He has deeply set pitch-dark grey eyes and tanned skin. He has short, black hair.

urrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rr

pitch-pink would make more sense than that shit

[petroglyph]

More on the lines of "really bad outfits," but. . .

He appears to be a Faendryl Dark Elf.
He appears to be ancient and taller than average. He has intensely sardonic violet eyes and flawless milky white skin. He has very long, flowing jet black hair swept back from the temples, save for a single elaborate blood red braid that hangs to his shoulder. He has a delicate face and high cheekbones. Blue veins are barely visible in his complexion.
He has an ice blue tattooed crest of the duke of Ta'Faendryl on his arm, a pipe clenched between his teeth, and some sleek lustrous onyx rings studded with tiny blood red rubies and ice blue diamonds set along the slender tips of his pointed ears.
He is in good shape.
He is wearing a Faendryl runestave harness with a gnarled faenor-shod Faendryl runestaff capped with an exquisite blood red ruby poking high overhead, a gold ring, a slim dark silver Faendryl wristband, an ice blue diamond shard etched with blood red runes and suspended from a thick faenor chain, some jet black leather pants adorned with a row of rune-inscribed stones around the waist, a gruesome eyeball fetish, a jet black Faendryl baldric with a diamond-edged slender eahnor longsword and an ancient Faendryl warblade secured to it, an ancient Faendryl gempouch, a rune-stitched Faendryl scroll case, an ancient Faendryl hip-satchel, a rune-covered Faendryl sack, a Faendryl crest, some Faendryl ceremonial boots, a Faendryl ceremonial crown, a dark Faendryl hunting belt, an Elven rune-etched signet ring, an onyx hilted blood-red scimitar pin scribed with Faendryl runes, a blood red Faendryl ankle-sheath, a blood red Faendryl bracer, an elegant blood red Faendryl clasp studded with exquisite ice blue diamonds, a timeworn faenor-scaled pauldron embossed with the Faendryl crest in crimson and grey, a blood red silk shirt with exquisite faenor buttons scribed with the crest of Ta'Faendryl, some silver-insigiled ebon silk casting gloves, an ancient jet black Faendryl longcoat, and an elegant jet black Faendryl tunic stitched with faenor runes.

And just in case that didn't get through to you. . .he's Faendryl.

[Shari]

Well....perhaps he forgets cause he has flawless milky WHITE skin? Maybe he covers himself to remind himself that he's not a really tall halfling, but an actual DARK ELF.

People make my brain bleed. :barf:

[DeV]

Is his name Michael Jackson by chance...

[Jolena]

actually there is documention about dark elves that were experimented on a long time ago and they ended up with fair skin. perhaps not milky white, but still fair skin. Which is why dark elves have the option to have light colored skin. :)

[Trinitis]

I can't remember if I mentioned this before or not..

But Spaewife wears saddlebags, and this makes me laugh.

A lot.

[Toxicvixen]

Who doesn't laugh at that? :snicker:

Think she'd be up for a saddle too?

Here's an old snapshot of Anticor:

You see Anticor Rifling the War Mage.
He appears to be a Giant of the Grot'karesh Clan.
He appears to be in the prime of life and tall. He has captivating onyx-hued eyes and well-tanned skin. He has short, thick reddish brown hair with grey at the temples. He has a square-jawed face, a classical nose and broad shoulders.
He is in good shape.
He is holding an onyx-hafted godendag in his right hand.
He is wearing a stamped metal Saramar symbol, an onyx-studded black spell kit, an onyx-trimmed black silk greatcloak, a crimson glaes armband, some stealthy coal black leathers, a lustrous sleek onyx bracelet, a twisted signet ring inset with a miniature onyx scimitar on a field of crimson, an onyx-studded black leather sporran, a ceremonial onyx and crimson Ishan greatkilt, and a pair of black traveling boots.

The current outfit is about the same I'll post it later in the what are you wearing thread. So yeah my onyx comment was a joke :cool:

Why do some people try to get one theme in all their gear? Do they summon up a mental image and think it looks good? How hard is it to mix and match colors. A woman can get away with diamond earrings and a matching necklace, but you then don't have diamonds in every other article of clothing, or that is you don't unless you have no style.


And the redundancy is disturbing.

[Kainen]

Well personally I like my char to wear all one color at a time. Maybe they are differant shades.. but all the same color.

[Jolena]

You see High Lord Kaustic Liontribe the Master Rogue.
He appears to be a Dhe'nar Dark Elf.
It is difficult to properly judge his age as his helm is pulled down over his face, concealing his features.
He has a pair of small ivory bone rings in his lip, a fading black skull tattoo on his neck, a deep black deathstone ring in the middle of his nose, a skeleton key tattoo on his finger, a skeleton key tattoo on his finger, a skeleton key tattoo on his finger, a skeleton key tattoo on his finger, a skeleton key tattoo on his finger, a skeleton key tattoo on his finger, a skeleton key tattoo on his finger, a skeleton key tattoo on his finger, a skeleton key tattoo on his finger, a stalking lion tattoo on his arm, a coiled serpent tattoo on his neck, a small black skull tattoo on his wrist, a deep black deathstone spike in his right eyebrow, a skeleton key tattoo on his finger, and a twisted banshee tattoo on his arm.
He is in good shape.
He is holding an ancient assassin's blade with a shadowy black twisting cobra with coal black eyes wrapped around it in his right hand and a nightmarish midnight-black warlord's soul-shield encircled with strangely flickering runes in his left hand.
He is wearing some fitted elven hauberk emblazoned with a white skull on a field of black, a debt collector's sack embroidered with Saramar runes of protection, a cobweb-covered jet black spidersilk cloak edged with silver silk trim, a twisting platinum cobra band grasping a large dark diamond in its fangs, a pair of shadowy black spidersilk boots embroidered with the image of a magnificent lion wielding a twisting cobra as a venomous whip, a shadowy black bone-inlaid lockpick case latched with a grimacing skull-cut black diamond, a pair of shadowy black spidersilk pants with each leg embroidered with a standing lion whose dreadful eyes glitter with large dark diamonds, a cobra skin locksmith's toolkit, a rune-stitched midnight black silk gem pouch lined with soft velvet, an royal imperial guard frog with a mithril short sword hanging from it, a platinum buckled belt, an engraved onyx ring, a pair of shadowy black spidersilk gloves trimmed with dark elven runes and embroidered with the shape of a stalking lion with dreadful dark diamond eyes, a pair of veniom cufflinks fashioned into the shape of crossed daggers, a bloodspattered wrist-sheath, a small polished silver sundial hanging on a burnished rolaren chain, a serpentine platinum armband studded with dark diamonds, a serpentine platinum armband studded with dark diamonds, an elven military sash embroidered with a magnificent roaring golden lion, a mithril juggernaut pin, an ebon-hued obsidian gate pin, a storm grey glaes spider charm, a blue black glaesine orb, a shadowy black spidersilk shirt buttoned with cracked white skulls, a shadowy black high-collared cape, a scaly cobra skin back sheath, a clear glass amulet, a black diamond cracked skull symbol suspended on a platinum chain, a feather-edged miniature black skull inset with a dark diamond, an iron and ora visored helm, a twisting cobra earcuff, and an enruned dark alloy lockpick earring.


Okay despite the fact that he's a freakin BOOK when you look at him (jeeeez), his shield of deathity death is what really made me cringe. The other few things I had highlighted just don't sit with me well but the shield tops them all in what I consider a really really *really* bad alter.

What really gets me about that shield is that Dragonfaze is actually a halfling himself. Makes no sense why he would want one on his shield, but hey... I'm just glad it's not mine.

There mighta been more on him but I didn't get a chance to look. Saw those when I was passing by.

Either way they're ugly.

Yeah... there are more. I think the must like the "ravaged dark golden" theme, or something. Personally, I'm having a tough time picturing it.

a ravaged dark golden wand harness
a ravaged dark golden gem pouch
a ravaged dark golden wizard's hat

Eh... to each is his own.

XXX shows you a neatly trimmed black moustache, which he is wearing. This moustache has been heavily waxed and curled. The wax used smells vaguely of lavender and the ends are curled in spirals that stick out in apparent defiance of gravity.

She is in good shape.
She is holding an iron-bound modwir strongbox in her right hand.
She is wearing a glossy black leather gem pouch, an enruned bloodjewel earring, a jade-clasped deep black silk pack, a fur-trimmed white eagle prayer-feather, a onyx-inlaid black leather thigh-sheath, a shadowy black spidersilk scarf detailed with twisting cobras, a leather bracer, a black rolaren mesh sack, a side-laced black leather corset set with curved black steel boning, a black braided hair tie, a flared black spidersilk skirt, a snakeskin thigh quiver, a blue black glaesine orb, a silver-bound black diamond necklace, a silver-edged black silken hip-sash, a diamond-inset vaalin hairpin, some supple dark leather gloves, a twisting cobra earcuff, a butterfly charm, a jade-clasped leather knife case, an intricately etched lockpick case, an assassin crest, a twisted black steel chain, a jade-clasped deep black silk satchel, a rolaren-veined Dhe'nari war bow intricately carved with twisting cobras, a pair of oval-shaped spectacles, a hooded leather cloak, some lacy golden boots, some spiked shadowy vultite scalemail crafted with black-scaled cobras twisting across the grey mail, a gold ring, a tiny smooth moon medallion suspended from a gold chain, and a thin black silk veil hung from a polished gold hairband.

I have a character that has everything on her altered to be very light. Not only were they lightened, but also very simple. Since I don't have her in currently, some of the things are,

A backpack.
A sheath.
A bodice.
A sack.

A sack.

etc, etc. Many people here that and say it's nutts.

I think it's dull and boring. Ent refuses to date anyone who wears such again.

It gives no character, to the character!

[GSLady17]

Maybe I can see the point you make. She is very simple, doesn't need to spend her money on flashy things, and is extremely light and non-cluttered. Perhaps if you met her, you would see it fits her personality. Minus-the dull and boring of course.

It's also amusing when people think she is a newbie.

[HouseofElves]

But it's also stupid. When I look at a pair of pants, I don't just see "a pair of pants". I see a color, style and material. People who have "some pants" start to ruin the fantasy. You can look simple and plain without having non-descript items.


And Stay, I met that d00d on the ferry the other day. He was actually really nice and offered to escort Uni into the Landing. Maybe his friendly, helpful citizen's outfit was dirty, so he had to wear the eat-your-soul-one. (Laundry day in Elanthia)

[petroglyph]

Well, I don't think anyone's advising you that she ought to start buying gold-buckled belts and ruby-dusted gowns. The game could definitely use more characters who dress in practical clothes and don't try to hunt in full court attire. But even the simplest clothes are still made out of a fabric (even if that fabric is burlap, not silk) and still have a color (even if that color is brown, not violet).

Have your character wear "A fraying brown canvas backpack, an off-white linen bodice, a tanned leather sheath, a drawstring canvas sack, a pair of rough brown woolen trousers, and some sturdy black leather shoes" and I'll see someone simple and practical. Have your character wear "A backpack, a bodice, a sheath, a sack, a pair of trousers, and some shoes," and. . .the mental image that comes to mind is a blank coloring book page. This is a text-based game, where we use our imagination to interpret the words -- so give us some words to work with.

[petroglyph]

Or, "What HouseofElves said."

[Terminator X]

Apricott put a slightly curving mithril short-sword in her samite cape.

As opposed to a more than slightly curving mithril short sword...

[Kaya]

Hi there!
I think this is a very ugly alteration..Do you agree?

Some warlock battle hunts traced with a leering skull whose fiery eyes seem to blaze with an unholy fury

Yep-I think so!

[Vitruvian]

You remove a fuzzy lime green cap adorned with a pale yellow kobold visage dotted with two tiny horns from on a carved ice bench.

[Terminator X]

:lol: that's awesome in the same way super ugly, deformed, three-legged poodles are so wubbable.....

a battle-scarred rolaren shield emblazened with a sinuous red and gold scaled dragon on a field of white.

Seen on Thulin. Thought he had better taste than this!

[Jolena]

Not terribly sure if this is just a 'bad' alter to be honest, but it damn sure is just NASHTY. UGH.




You see Porchmaster.
He appears to be a Paradis Halfling.
He appears to be old and average height. He has silver-flecked stormy grey eyes and nut brown skin. He has raggedly cut, unkempt white hair. He has deep laugh lines.
He has old battle scars on his right hand.
He is holding an enruned walking stick in his right hand.
He is wearing an old pair of cropped pants, a weathered grey travelling satchel, a dirt-covered sack, a tarnished brass flagon, an iron and mithril band, a complicated rope-laced backpack, a pair of crusty sweat-stained and mud-streaked socks rife with massive fraying holes, some moth-eaten grosgrain gloves, an ancient weathered armband trimmed with arcane runes, a frayed black silk cloak threaded with silvery mithril runes, a crystal amulet, and a broad-brimmed dark straw hat.

[Miss X]

Halfling wearing socks! That's just not right! ;)

[Toxicvixen]

Ugh, Bad sock and a stupid name.

[Toxicvixen]

Found it on bardess Ebay. A BARDESS. ICKY!

She has a vivid smattering of gore tattooed from her shoulder down to her right arm.

Altered tattoo w/ SHOW #1:
Aelitae shows you a vivid smattering of gore tattooed from her shoulder down to her right arm.
Inked in brilliant mazarine and virid, the tattooed conflaguation of gore consists of bloodied kiramon corpses, oozing severed pincers and mandibles, scraps of jagged chiton, and other small, although vivid, bits of gore.

Adelphiana put a glossy white shield embossed with the image of an empath engaged in combat and surrounded by a storm of striking lightning and fallen foes in her spider-clasped satchel.

Ugh.

[SpunGirl]

You see Lady Tarazota the Beguiler.
She appears to be a Dark Elf.
She appears to be very young and tall. She has sultry jade green eyes and bronze skin. She has very long, shiny jet black hair swept back from the temples. She has a delicate face, a classical nose and high cheekbones.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a slender silver-hued silk dress embroidered with a spiraling pattern of crystal dusted dewdrops, an onyx-inlaid silver earring, a gold ring, a silver-edged white pearl circlet, a delicate chrysoberyl necklace, a pale violet iceblossom, some tiny diamond hairjewels, a set of pale amethyst moonflower hairjewels, an Elanthian snow rose, a small rose, a jet black cloak, a platinum wedding band set with a star-of-Tamzyrr diamond, a silvery brocade backpack, some black arm greaves, a wild orchid, a twisted rope gold bracelet, a beveled blue starstone barrette, some fitted midnight black casting leathers, a pair of soft silvery kid elbow-length gloves sewn with pure silver thread and buttoned with tiny violet sapphire studs, a pair of laced silver-hued slippers, a black rolaren mesh sack, a bright silvery satchel, a ruby inlaid pyrothag hide sheath, a stylish lily white purse, a carved maoral scroll tube, a long white diamond-dusted scarf, and some leg greaves.

It makes me cry that she's a sorceress. If I had to guess, I'd say empath.

[Jolena]

tee hee she bought that dress out of my shop OR someone that bought it from me whatever. :D

but regardless, can I just say once...


SORT AUTO HEAD DAMNIT! WTF

[SpunGirl]

LOL yeah, I don't know if that would help with the TWO sets of hairjewels she has on, or her overabundance of boxfound jewelry. OMG plus the circlet. :cry: Edited again. PLUS a barrette. WTF! How do you wear two sets of hairjewels, a circlet, AND a barrette?!?!?

[Shari]

The first image that comes to mind...is when my mother's next-door neighbor comes over and "does her hair". By doing so, she puts every hair twisty, clip, and tie in her hair in a mess of mini ponytails that looks like she has little antennas all over her head.

That's what I'm getting from that char.

[Tsunami]

Please tell me your mothers neighbour is five. :D

[SpunGirl]

Either that or there's a "special house" next door to her parents.

Here's another one I saw tonight and almost fell over:

You see Marikaytte Aireo the Empath.
She appears to be a Dark Elf.
She appears to be very young and average height. She has mischievious, sparkling amber eyes and olive skin. She has very long, shiny chestnut hair worn in a single braid. She has a delicate face, a button nose and high cheekbones.
She has a small black dagger tattoo on her neck.
She has a scar across her neck, old battle scars on her right arm, old battle scars on her left arm, old battle scars on her right hand, old battle scars on her left hand, an old battle scar across her chest, an old battle scar across her back, a black-and-blue right eye, a black-and-blue left eye, and a scar across her face.
She is holding a soot black knapsack adorned with a pale skeletal visage with hollow eyes in her left hand.
She is wearing an elegant black cavalier hat, an elegant dark silk coin pouch, a pair of black pearl-clasped gloves, a pair of diamond-clasped gloves, a black eyepatch, a coral and blue dreamstone stickpin, some jet black leather armor with a dagger pierced heart stitched on the left breast, some thigh-high black leather boots, a knee-length black velvet skirt, a long-cut blue starstone clasp, a blackened tower shield etched with dark elven runes, a textured dark violet silk thigh-band, a bejewelled ora barrette, a ruby and onyx black widow hairpin, a single pink rosebud boutonniere, a midnight black camail, a dark velvet sash, a silver and black diamond stickpin, a jet black leather sling, a silver cross pendant, a pair of wire-framed spectacles, a large black sack, a black mail sack, a polished anklet, a tiny diamond heart earring, a jet black glaes spider charm, a midnight blue glaesine orb, a diamond and vultite belt buckle, a gleaming onyx nose ring, a tiny clear glaes spider, a diamond and vultite stickpin, a black pearl choker, a sparkling amethyst pin, an iridescent specter keg pin, a coiling serpent bracelet, a onyx-inlaid coiling serpent anklet, an elegant black velvet cloak, a set of ruby heart-shaped earrings, a wide gold ring, a pearl-trimmed black silk bodice, a gold and red spinel pin, and a shadowy black suede pack.

OMG there it is! I've been looking for that dress! I had that made a long time ago. Since I've been back been wanting to find it. Now I know who to hunt down. Mwuahhaha...

:heart: Spun.

[Jolena]

Hehe! I bought that dress from someone..trying to remember who it is.. on the amunet about 1 1/2 years ago. I wore it to Ebons' gate actually as a part of a costume. I wish I could remember what the guy's name was that I got it from. Anyhow it was up in my shop for a long time and then finally someone bought it after like 5-6 months heh! Hope you find it!

[Edited on 8-27-2005 by Jolena]

[Tsunami]

a soft black robe that seems to shimmer in the light and is draped with thornless living rose vines twined to create the holy symbol of Oleani the Goddess of Love

[SpunGirl]

The gal wearing it runs around Icemule, Chelle. I hope you can wrest it away from her - should just take a couple dozen boxfound piece of jewelry:)

There seems to be a lot of those kobold items going around..I found one in TC in Icemule on a cloak, and gave it to someone who had a sash to match..hehe.

Wtf? two pairs of gloves and an eyepatch and spectacles? Maybe she didn't have room in her locker....so she's wearing its contents..

[SpunGirl]

Wait wait, she just healed me (thx Marikaytte! :heart: ) so I checked her out to see if she took my advice about the gloves...

You quietly whisper to Marikaytte, "If you type Sort auto head your clothes will be in head to toe order."

[Asha]

I can't see what's wrong with the outfit.
No alterations to complain about either.

I didn't know about the sort verb until I saw it on this board.
It made me laugh, I typed it in and it changed nothing about how my character has looked since he got his outfit together.

[Asha]

Hmm . . I missed the previous posts.

Nevermind then. :D

[Viridian]

The name of the owner will not be mentioned....but this is a horrible alter. I will tell you they belong to a half-elf female...which just made it even worse.

Oh bloody hell. Who allows these people to make these things?!



[Alterock (subdued)]: "selling a darkened weapons harness. description is as follows "The harness' details are obscured, it blends in with the wearer's apparel and the shadows of the night. A slight scent of death fills your nostrils as you lean too close." MB: 600k"

How do they know what the apparel is of the wearer? And hello grammar? Sentance structure? Also what if you are wearing it during the day? How would you know when looking at it that it would blend with the shadows of the night?

Lastly but certainly not least, a slight scent of death? eww? And way to force an action on my character by making them 'lean in too close' to smell that wonderful scent of death you have going on there.

[SpunGirl]

Found this while browsing playershops.com:

a wispy blue bag - 400,000 silvers
The bag has been masterfully woven of an elegant silvery-blue material that shines softly if the light hits upon it just right. Ancient runes of unity, love, and power are delicately affixed to the bag with a hazy blue thread. In the middle of the small runes is an embroidery of an emerald serpent encompassing a kneeling pure-white unicorn. The bag is clasped tightly by an intricately detailed veniom symbol of Faendryl royalty.

Uck.

Note that sorting your gear creates a chance to deplete a charge on your enhancive items. The chance is slight, but less so than not using it at all.

She appears to be a Faendryl Dark Elf.
She appears to be young and untried and average height. She has sultry jade green eyes and bronze skin. She has long, glossy black hair swept back from the temples. She has a delicate face, a classical nose and high cheekbones.
She has a curved black diamond bar in the upper ridge of her left ear, a crimson-swept spiral stud in her lip, a tattooed symbol of Andelas on her ear, a cute mouse tattoo on her neck, and a pouncing kitten tattoo on her neck.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a spiderweb covered weapons harness, a black cat's head-etched flask, a tiny furry mouse paw, a cobweb-covered jet black spidersilk cloak edged with silver silk trim, a sapphire glaesine orb, a dark spidersilk satchel secured with invar rune-etched buckles, a gold and beryl talisman, a thin-bladed shadowy black fan, a silver-inlaid black pearl bracelet, a silvery maoral box, a cat-shaped onyx earcuff, a shiny silver waist chain, a sinuous black fur tail, a pair of claw-tipped gloves, a catnip-trimmed black leather collar studded with sharp steel spikes, a pair of knee-high black leather boots ringed with spiked steel studs, some elven bloodstained robes, a short black leather skirt, a gold ring, a sleek shadowy crystal pendant, and a black strapless bodice.

I mean really, where do you START with this?

I had to highlight the one item that prompted me to post this in the first place. I mean, wouldn't catnip crumble off when its dry?

Yes but look at her attire, then ask yourself...does this person really know what they are doing? Not even head to toe order...

I really wish more people would use the sort verb.

At being a retard.

[TheEschaton]

I still own, somewhere, a set of 8x brig that, if I remember, looks something like (off the top of my head):

some form-fitting black leather body armor embroidered with scenes of the arkati and ur-daemons at war.


Now, not really that bad, but since all my characters are male, wearing anything form-fitting is, well, kind of...off.

And some would argue that the main thrust of the ur-daemon war was between the drakes and the ur-daemons, but to these poo-heads, I'd point out the numerous references in the documents where it said Arkati fought in the war as well. Only Kai survived, though, but still.

-TheE-

[SpunGirl]

Godfucking dammit.

Let me first say that I agree with Stay on the retarded alteration bit (no one is smirking all the time, kthx) and about her being a general retard. I saw her die last night after almost two years of blissful Sheka absence from the game and I think I threw up in my mouth a little bit.

I had considered making a thread about her to vent my lingering frustrations, then decided against it, then saw this. Fuck.

A friend showed me this in IMs I thought I would share it.

a soft black robe that seems to shimmer in the light and is draped with thornless living rose vines twined to create the holy symbol of Oleani the Goddess of Love.

Infinity offers Pethrillia some curvaceous form-fitting scarlet leathers with a deeply plunging neckline.


Way to protect those vital areas!

not to mention a corset...

Okay, this chick might be a star roleplayer, I don't care. She's sucker punched one of my top ten GS pet peeves.

You see Amaleth Muk'Ashir.
She appears to be a Half-Sylvan.
She appears to be extremely young. She has beautiful lashes that frame her large jungle green eyes and tanned skin. She has rather long, sun-streaked blonde hair that falls around her delicate figure in a mess of wild tangles.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing an ancient amazonian circlet that appears ravaged by passing of the ages, some unusual tribal armbands, some sultry amazonian armor, a viciously barbed leather whip, an oddly-shaped leather satchel, a short leather hunting skirt, and some burnished knee-high sandals that have been speckled with dried mud.

Look at her. She isn't wearing a single fucking color! Is my character suddenly color blind? She can see the fabrics (and she's skipped a couple of those too), she can feel the sultriness, but not a single shade. Grr.

I agree.

Of course, I'm not surprised. Pethrillia is a typical Ivas slutbag character. She's also Sheka's alt, and that particular player has always sucked at religious RP, so.... no big shocker there.

"A black lace corset with stockings that seem as sheer as cobwebs"

Found while browsing playershops.com for a corset to alter. Yours for the LOW LOW price of only six million! We should start a fund to buy it and destroy it. I'm in for 500k.

lol

It looks like one of those 1980's workout outfits.

Put me down for 1 mil. I'm all up for burning the GS leotard.

[Vixen]

Hey, who you calling a typical Ivas slutbag!!!!

Seriously though... I love the amazon outfit, just wish I knew what the colors were.

LOL, Kasia is anything but typical. Pethrillia, on the other hand, is one of those constantly-seductive slinking around women who purrs every five seconds. Just thinking about it makes me want to vom.

Ignore her. Its all a show. I happen to have proof that her character is a slutty Ivasian DEEP DOWN ON THE INSIDE.

I am bored, what can I say, I decided to (1) see how much of my posts could be done in smileys to convey a message, and (2) see how long it would take till someone cried.

You won Drew. :lol:

funny stuff


You tap a void-black doll box engraved with "The True Sorcerer" in exquisite script on its lid.

You remove a dark elf sorcerer doll from in your doll box.


>l doll
You are holding a male dark elf sorcerer doll. He has no noticeable hair features. He has one long, bushy eyebrow above extremely intelligence-lacking crossed eyes. He has a tiny sign with "Property of Elanthia Mental Health Institution - Please return me should I be lost" written on it on the chest. He is wearing a tiny cloak made of patched bandanas with the words "Mage Envy" stitched repeatedly under an emblazed Faendryl crest, a tiny padded helmet whose purpose seems to be to keep his oversized head safe from falls and bumps and a tiny note.

>l note
Scrawled on this note in nearly illegible script is, "In search of wizards, tap me if you are one; If you tapped me, are you my daddy?"
