This shit cracks me up. That's like assassins wearing a pin saying OH HAI I R ASSASSIN!

[Latrinsorm]

I always thought it would be a good idea for an assassins' guild to have a guy or two like that just to keep peoples' focus off the actual assassin. I'd say more but I have to go change my undies after being so thoroughly menaced by a cloak.

You see Lord Vandele the Epic Adventurer.
He appears to be an Elf.
He is taller than average and appears to be very young. He has sparkling argent-flecked emerald green eyes and fair skin. He has shoulder length, flowing platinum hair streaked with silver. He has a round face, a thin nose and slightly pointed ears.
He has a narrow horseshoe crab spike in his lip, a ring of silver stars tattoo on his finger, a lightning bolt tattoo on his finger, a wailing banshee tattoo on his wrist, a blue mermaid tattoo on his arm, a drunken parrot tattoo on his ankle, an open magical tome tattoo on his neck, a rising phoenix tattoo on his neck, a burning flame tattoo on his neck, and a tattooed symbol of lumnis on his neck.
He is in good shape.
He is wearing a veniom-threaded wizard's hat encircled with whorls of mistwood stars, some mithril-framed glasses with darkly tinted lenses, some deathstone earrings, a rune-stitched platinum-threaded neckpouch trimmed with whorls of mithglin, a ruby amulet, an opaque glass amulet, a translucent crystal-clasped blue cloak intricately embroidered with runes, an onyx-inlaid round mithril brooch, a princess-cut pink dreamstone brooch, a carved hoarbeam symbol, a sparkling black mein key, a veniom-bound fireleaf Adventurer's Guild badge, an intricately enruned pure veniom mage's wand vest, a veniom-inlaid hoarbeam long bow, a platinum-threaded spidersilk harness secured with a translucent crystal rune, a symbol-embellished veniom-threaded backpack fastened with an intricate translucent crystal rune, some vaalin-threaded elven leathers embossed with intricate runes, a crimson-edged white diamond wristlet, a gold ring, an intricately insigiled veniom-threaded belt supporting numerous hoarbeam compartments, an ancient veniom-banded mistwood scroll case adorned with swirls of mithglin runes, an intricately detailed veniom-threaded potion bag encased with whorls of white ora runes, an elegant veniom-banded witchwood kit swirled at the edges with silver tracery, some fine veniom-threaded britches traced with intricate symbols, and a pair of mithril-toed boots bound with veniom-threaded laces.

Tattoos and Veniom ... much?

[thefarmer]

You see Foxs.
She appears to be a Faendryl Dark Elf.
She is shorter than average. She has shimmering, mismatched light mauve and dark amethyst eyes and ebon skin. She has waist length, lustrous platinum hair drawn back from her face and bound in place by an interlocking silver ring circlet set with a flawless drake-shaped diamond. She has sharply-curved pointed ears. A diminutive and faint birthmark accents the side of her neck, its shape appearing almost purposeful and emblematic, but with no clues as to an origin. She is inked with an image of a triple moon surrounded by dark crimson stars upon her neck.
Her face is concealed by a bewitching spidersilk elven-crafted fox face facade.
She has a sigil-incised deep ebony half-ring in her right eyebrow, a thin black diamond ring in the upper ridge of her right ear, a thin dark diamond ring in the upper ridge of her left ear, a tattooed symbol of Eorgina on her chest, and a chain of intricate runes tattoo on her thigh.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a floor-length mourning veil, a tear-shaped black diamond necklace, a hooded dark spidersilk cloak, and some high-heeled black silk boots.

I'm sorry, but people with that much feature alteration work should die.

On top of the fact her birthmark is stupid.

[7Seconds]

wow....

...just wow...

stabby stabby stabby stabby...gouge my eyes out...

[FinisWolf]

If her face is hidden, then why do we see the piercing in her right eyebrow?

Also, why is she running about nakid where you see her chest and thigh?

Finis

[7Seconds]

the appearance of running around nude covered only by a mourning veil(which get me wrong but are usually made of a VERY sheer material) doesn't help the imagery much either...

oh wait, forgot about the cloak...it better stay shut.... cring....

[LMingrone]

It's Foxs. We really shouldn't waste our time.

[7Seconds]

just because I feel this character is such a completely abhorrent spectacle I will attempt to correct and smooth out said creatures apearance... here goes nothing...

You see Foxs with taste.
She appears to be a Faendryl Dark Elf.
She is shorter than average. She has mismatched light mauve and dark amethyst eyes and ebon skin. She has waist length, lustrous platinum hair drawn back from her face by a set of interlocking silver rings set with a drake-cut diamond. She has sharply-curved pointed ears. A faint birthmark of diminutive size marks the side of her neck. A tattooed image of a triple moon surrounded by dark crimson stars is inked on her neck.
Her face is concealed by an elven-crafted spidersilk fox mask.
She has a thin black diamond ring in the upper ridge of her right ear, a thin dark diamond ring in the upper ridge of her left ear.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a floor-length mourning veil, a tear-shaped black diamond necklace, a hooded dark spidersilk cloak, a tie-dyed black and silver moo-moo, and some high-heeled black silk boots.


well it was worth a try any ways...

[DCSL]

I don't even play and Foxs STILL manages to annoy me with her appearance.

[7Seconds]

At least she isn't makeing your head want to explode IG any more... creeeepy that one...

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

He is wearing a feather trimmed leather neckpouch, a cobweb-covered jet black spidersilk cloak edged with silver silk trim, a tightly woven spidersilk sack, a spidersilk loot bag, a billowing spidersilk cape intricately detailed with platinum thread...

Is it me or are alters actually getting worse not better these days, despite more stringent alter rules?

Take this for example, I gave a merchant the chance to wow me with an original design the other day, foolishly thinking it might actually be better than anything I could come up with, which is usually mediocre but acceptable. I got this ...

a bell-sleeved platinum crushed velvet gown hemmed with tendrils of moonstone-beaded fog

:wtf:

[Latrinsorm]

Yeah I saw that alter made but figured "fog" was some kind of fancy fashion term that I didn't know and not, you know, clouds of water vapor affixed to a garment.

[CrystalTears]

fog2
–noun U.S. and British Dialect.
1.a second growth of grass, as after mowing.
2.long grass left standing in fields during the winter.

LOL! It doesn't make it any better.

[Latrinsorm]

long grass left standing in fields during the winter.I trust I'm not the only one who saw a double entendre here.

[thefarmer]

I assumed the fog was an indicator of what the hemming was supposed to depict.

Shows how much fashion I know.

[CrystalTears]

Then pick a translucent material instead. Choosing to put beads on fog is just ridiculous.

The way I would have worded it..

As of right now, this merchant somehow miraculously stitched fog onto a gown.

Exactly, but even the way you reworked it, it's still bad ... I mean having tendrils and fog in the wording of a gown (made of 70s crushed velvet no less) is just wrong. I was too shocked and embarrassed to object and just left.

In hindsight I should have handed it back and said "Be serious!"

[Mighty Nikkisaurus]

Thank god I am not the only one who hates crushed velvet. The only velvet I actually particularly like in game is silken velvet, heh.

For me the bigger issue is that it's BEADING. Beads are heavy and substantial-- how the hell do you make it look fog-like? I almost used tendrils recently and I may very well use fog-like, but your materials have to make sense. Fog-like tendrils of sheer silk? Sure. Fog-like tendrils of chainmail? Eh, not so much, ha!

[ViridianAsp]

Crushed velvet is tacky imo.

I am tacky...

You see Great Lord Zealaphanterror the Master Fletcher.
He appears to be a Dhe'nar Dark Elf.
He is shorter than average and appears to be in the prime of life. He has bright amber eyes and nut brown skin. He has chin length, silky jet black hair. He has a long face, a sharp nose and tucked pointed ears.
You can hardly recognize him covered in all that soot and ash!
He has a black-and-blue right eye, and a scar across his face.
A thick layer of volcanic ash and soot covers a pair of dark ankle boots soled with stiff black leather, a pair of fitted black trousers embroidered with a design of soaring fiery-mawed dragons down the legs, a fiery red cloth satchel, a royal blue suede dice bag, a simple brown leather case, some black serpent-crested leathers, a soft black leather haversack, a soot black cloth harness, a thick cloth vest, a tiny stick figure pin, a turquoise-bound maoral Adventurer's Guild badge, an onyx and amber clasp, a fitted black cotton shirt, some cracked black-rimmed spectacles, a long black eyeball-print warcape with several threadbare holes in it, a vaalorn sleeping cat locket, a glyph-etched platinum necklace, a mithril leaf necklace, a moon and star-embroidered black silk wizard's hat, and a flawless gold ring.

[Elvenlady]

Dragons and serpents and eyeballs, oh my!

[DCSL]

All of that says to me, "He's dangerous." I wouldn't want to mess with him, nosir.

The new Capital One commercial.

The one guy is all "I'll put kittens on my card"

and his evil empire friend is all "WARKITTENS??"

and he's like "No, regular cats." or something.

But it made me think of gemstone. I should buy Jessa's kitten and try to alter it into a warkitten, using that commercial to establish my argument.

I have to wait until someone puts it on youtube tho :/

[7Seconds]

Nothing more attractive than long black eyeballs.

speaking of eyeballs...

A many-eyed mesile staff

a multitude of eyes, varying in size, shape, and pigment have been fused to the surface of this staff. Some glazed over, some opaque in hue, and yet more that seem to follow your movements no matter the angle of your perspective.

oooh, eyeballs...

[yesicj]

And love beads, don't forget the love beads.

Made me think of those flashy fire-opal love charms.

[Martaigne]

Made me think of those flashy fire-opal love charms.

People are slacking! This reminds me of a boxing robe. I have no idea what the base is.

Durgrimst [Merchant]: "Belmes The ancient longcoat appears to be crafted from thick leather that over the years has been well worn and neglected, while the silver lining has been highly polished and meticulously maintained. On the back of the longcoat the picture of a mighty and proud Master Dwarf holding a massive maul and standing over the remains of his fallen enemies. Stitched across the shoulder blades is the name INGETUM."

[FinisWolf]

I happen to enjoy murals on items that can carry them. It allows for a deeper picture in my minds eye.

I know when I put on my 501's, I am not all just "the stiching is great...w00t w00t", hell I ignore them, they are boring. To me, add the graphics, it makes the piece more interesting.

Finis

[CrystalTears]

As long as they are large items. People who have epic depictions on things like belts and rings drive me bats.

[Allereli]

While yes, they are "acceptable" alters in terms of getting made, I see it as the equivilent of walking around with one of those big black satin jackets with an Elvis depiction on it.

I will show you the final copy when it is done, That was a rough draft.

[Khariz]

Not sure what I think of this:

This deadly claidhmore is crafted to perfection, a worthy weapon befitting a true warlord. Carved and perfectly tempered glaes forms the massive blade that ends at the top in a razor serration the likes of which would scare a boulder. Veil iron rings line the pommel, carved into deadly serpents shown devouring their own tails. The butt end of the weapon has been fashioned into a snake's head cast of silver, with dark rubies for eyes, it's mouth agape as if preparing to strike

[7Seconds]

how do you scare a boulder?

[Khariz]

Yeah, that's the part I was concerned with.

How about this one?

The mithril claidhmore is well-honed to a razor fine edge on both sides, further lending to its already intimidating appearance. Etched directly in the center of the blade on either side is the image of a threateningly grimacing cracked skull. The pommel of the claidhmore is affixed with a large piece of ancient discolored ivory that is carved into the shape of a cracked white skull. Miniscule letters along the cross-guard read, "This is my last resort. If you see this, it's already too late.

[7Seconds]

keeping more w/ the original...

This sword, formed from perfectly tempered glaes, has had one edge of its massive length chiseled into a twisted array of razor sharp serrations. As a braid of veil iron serpents one eating the tale of another entwines its hilt, and a ruby eyed silver snake head serves as a pommel.

[B2]

You'd have to get lucky to find a merchant who would take those veil iron gongs.

[Khariz]

You'd have to get lucky to find a merchant who would take those veil iron gongs.

It already has the veil iron in the alter. The above past was an ACTUAL claidhmore as it currently exists.

[B2]

Oh. Heh. Well good!

I never look at people's show descriptions anyhow.

They could be copulating for all I care.

The desire to put images in action on armor and clothing of oneself or even those that might be their ancestors or some such silliness. I want you, to look at me, looking in a mirror, doing exactly what Im doing right now, or what I just was doing, cause this is what I do!

Stop putting pictures on armor/clothing/cloaks ect, runes ok... ancient languages fine... prancing unicorns MAYBE (lets face it unicorns are cool). Deity based articles aught to be tasteful of fear your god/dess will shove an appropriately manifested instrument of pain up your ass.

Although, I did 'emblaze the image of a stalking panther' on my armor a long time ago... I did that on chain <facepalm> I do still wear it, its HCP, but I feel dirty. The good thing about bad taste is that you can grow out of it, the bad thing about bad taste is that your friends will always remember and laugh at you.

Etching, Acid Etching Leather Tooling and Stitching are acceptable mediums to display graphics on armor... have you spent time thinking how some of these things would actually look though, especially on leather, you could probably etch some very nice images on plate.

it'd be cool if there was man only armor with like "some muscular armature with a huge package" or "some dragonball-zesque armor with huge shoulder pads and extra padding for the junk"

[thefarmer]

......and extra padding for the junk"
:rofl:

[CrystalTears]

Feminine armor. That's how it was off the rack.

Gretchen
Does it fail should a male try to wear them? You know how GS is with the magic equipment and all.

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

Men can't wear the feminine armor. I'll be selling a few sets I have soon.

[CrystalTears]

It's a horrible description all the same.

[Ilvane]

:wtf: kind of wording is wild viney??

Weird.

[Elvenlady]

some wild viney woman-fitted leathers,

What exactly are these?

:wtf:

To think they vetoed my use of the noun bodysuit ... it beggars belief!

[Stunseed]

Thoranios removes a shimmering cloak of indiscernable color that seems to have a life of its own from his shoulders.

If that cloak has a life of its own, it should strangle the wearer until he has no life of his own.

No idea if this has been posted already, I just saw it tonight. Ewww is all that comes to my mind.

XXX put an empath staff with "You Whine, You Bleed" carved in large letters in her green hooded cloak.

What is an "empath staff"? Is it made out of the flesh and bones of a long dead empath?

Finis

[Beguiler]

<shudder>

That's just...sick.

(Although my empath does rather understand and empathize with the sentiment.)

[thefarmer]

He is taller than average and appears to be very young. He has sparkling argent-flecked emerald green eyes and fair skin. He has neck length, windblown vibrant platinum hair accented with a single veniom-beaded braid aligned with his right earlobe. He has a round face, a thin nose and slightly pointed ears. He has deeply-set laugh lines surrounding his perfectly proportioned mouth.
He has a ring of silver stars tattoo on his finger, a narrow horseshoe crab spike in his lip, a lightning bolt tattoo on his finger, a wailing banshee tattoo on his wrist, a blue mermaid tattoo on his arm, a drunken parrot tattoo on his ankle, an open magical tome tattoo on his neck, a rising phoenix tattoo on his neck, a burning flame tattoo on his neck, and a tattooed symbol of lumnis on his neck.
He is in good shape.
He is wearing a pair of mithril-toed boots bound with veniom-threaded laces, some fine veniom-threaded britches traced with intricate symbols, an ancient veniom-banded mistwood scroll case adorned with swirls of mithglin runes, an intricately detailed veniom-threaded potion bag encased with whorls of white ora runes, a veniom-banded witchwood alchemy kit swirled at the edges with silver tracery, an intricately insigiled veniom-threaded belt supporting numerous hoarbeam compartments, a gold ring, a thick veniom wristcuff centered around an oversized white diamond, some vaalin-threaded elven leathers embossed with intricate runes, a symbol-embellished veniom-threaded backpack fastened with an intricate translucent crystal rune, a platinum-threaded spidersilk harness secured with a translucent crystal rune, a bulging veniom-threaded lootsack closed with an intricate translucent crystal rune, a ruby-inlaid mithglin button crafted in the shape of an old well, a twisted hemp knotwork brooch wrapped with polished veniom wire, a whorled veniom buckle accented with a deep blue mermaid's-tear sapphire, some polished vultite cufflinks swept with fine veniom tracing, a tiny pale winter rose, a carved hoarbeam symbol, a sparkling black mein key, a veniom-bound fireleaf Adventurer's Guild badge, an intricately enruned pure veniom mage's wand vest, a translucent crystal-clasped blue cloak intricately embroidered with runes, a rune-stitched platinum-threaded neckpouch trimmed with whorls of mithglin, a ruby amulet, an opaque glass amulet, some deathstone earrings, some mithril-framed glasses with darkly tinted lenses, and a veniom-threaded wizard's hat encircled with whorls of mistwood stars.

It's the gold ring that does it for me..

[Elvenlady]

Do you think he likes veniom?

[ViridianAsp]

There is a ring in that mess? I just stare at it and just see veniom and runes.

[The Ponzzz]

I personally like...

an intricately enruned pure veniom mage's wand vest

You see Lady Debie berrone the Noblewoman.
She appears to be a Giant of the Issimir Clan.
She appears to be senescent. She has brown eyes and fair skin. She has shoulder length, dark brown hair.
She is in good shape.
She is holding a rich-grained villswood runestaff in her right hand.
She is wearing a trilliant-cut green garnet pin, a visored helm, a sky blue cloak, a silver chrysalis, a glaes spider charm, a blue vultite Brigatta wristlet, a sprig of jasmine, a sprig of Imaera's Lace, a golden Leya ring, some waterproof canvas galoshes, a metal aventail, some silvered midnight black leathers, a tattered oilcloth coin pouch, a blue starstone necklace, a hazel leather pack, a lead-bound ceramic Adventurer's Guild badge, an intricate gold ring, and a tooled white starstone earcuff.

[Stanley Burrell]

Those galoshes are highwaters, damn. IT GONE TSUNAMI.

[thefarmer]

You see Lord Fewen Xeall.
He appears to be a Giant.
He is average height and appears to be full grown. He has bloodshot steel grey eyes and pale skin. He has very long, matted steel grey hair. He has a gaunt face and sunken cheeks.
He has a pouncing kitten tattoo on his wrist, a sleeping kitten tattoo on his wrist, a cat paw tattoo on his neck, and a peg-legged cat tattoo on his wrist.
He is in good shape.
He is wearing some bronzed black leather brigandine, a pair of panther hide pants with a spotted leopard stitched into the seat, a sturdy dark leather gem pouch, a soft puma skin sack, a faded gold ring, a diamond kitten-clasped satchel, a jeweled onyx cat pin, a jade-clasped spidersilk cloak, a back quiver, and a solid vultite armband.

Haha, he has a cat face on his butt. Yikes that's awfully tacky.

Thoranios removes a shimmering cloak of indiscernable color that seems to have a life of its own from his shoulders.

If that cloak has a life of its own, it should strangle the wearer until he has no life of his own.See, I'm torn.

On one hand, if the cloak has a life of it's own, hopefully it has the sentience to put itself out of its misery.

On the other hand, it's probably an endangered species, and should be protected. Maybe we could agree to giving the cloak and its host a pen in the back of the Solhaven Zoo. That'd probably work.

[Gnomad]

I personally like...

an intricately enruned pure veniom mage's wand vestI would love if that vest gave, at the very least, permanent water walking.

[thefarmer]

You see Lady Shirocco Raweis the Brigand.
She appears to be a Dark Elf.
She appears to be in the flower of life. She has sultry dark eyes and olive skin. She has waist length, unruly jet black hair shaved at the temples. She has an oval face, a classical nose and a generous mouth.
She has a flaming blade tattoo on her thigh.
She is in good shape.
She is holding a veniom-hilted black rolaren long-knife in her right hand and a small black falchion encrusted with half-elven runes in her left hand.
She is wearing an elegant black brocade satchel, a crystal amulet, some dark suede fingerless gloves, a shadowy black weapons harness, a black silk climbing pack, some supple black hunting leathers, a shadowy black alloy lockpick case, a dark leather locksmith's toolkit, some hammered ora coudieres, some supple black chausses, a gleaming alexandrite earcuff, and a shadowy black stalking cloak.

[ViridianAsp]

*chuckles* It's....ENCRUSTED with runes...you know when I see that...I picture runes like alphabet fridge magnets stuck all over a falchion.

[Celephais]

*chuckles* It's....ENCRUSTED with runes...you know when I see that...I picture runes like alphabet fridge magnets stuck all over a falchion.
It's funny on so many levels... they're half-elven runes... as if half-elves have some storied history that involves mysticism and not just some human boinking an elf. It's being used by a dark elf. (It'd be funnier that it's in the left hand if she was holding a shield in her right hand.) and of course the crustyness of it.

I bet her name references snow in some way and she wears white and/or silver and she's distant and/or cold or hurt.

Magic.

[Sylvan Dreams]

The "distant" is questionable but the SNOW WHITE eyes is not?

[DCSL]

Heh! Her name has no reference to snow, she doesn't wear a lot of white or silver. In fact, I think she prefers warm, neutral earth tones. Or she used to, anyway. If it's who I think it is, of course. And I don't believe those eyes were her own choice. She got them from a GM from a storyline.

I don't know it was from a GM, but the character definitely has a story behind why her eyes are white. You're right in that she wears earth tones. I've been trying every so often to get her away from russet, but it's not really working.

Gretchen

[DCSL]

Ah, if you recognize who I'm talking about then, yeah, it was from a GM. I know she was resisting getting any feature alters for a loooong time and then that incident happened and she was like, damn.

[Allereli]

You see XXXXXXXXXXXX the Weaponmaster.
He appears to be a Giant.
He is extremely tall even for a giant and appears to be as old as the hills. He has obsidian-traced piercing emerald green eyes and time-etched, burnished bronze skin. He has long, blended-cut rhimar-hued hair subtly twined with small beads made from obsidian shards. He has a finely chiseled face, a slender, slightly hooked nose and elegantly upswept ears with defined points. Standing out against his skin, an icy blue vein trails from his right eye, spreading into smaller, still visible veins across his lower cheek, and a small pale ivory birthmark, roughly in the shape of a dragon, rests just behind his right ear.

He has a plethora of randomly proportioned multi-colored dragon scales tattooed along the entire expanse of his face, and a snake coiled skull tattoo on his wrist.

He has severe head trauma and bleeding from the ears.

He is wearing a fine white starstone band, some blackened veniom cufflinks, a dragon-motif drinking horn, a horned obsidian dragon mask, some deathstone earrings, a polished rosewood heart locket, an ironwood rampant dragon insignia, a sandstone Willow Hall pin, a lightly charred silk vest, a Lorminstra badge, a gnarled blackthorn key on a dull silver chain, some tooled sanguine silver gauntlets encapsulating the forearms in a thick barrier of dragon-like scale and blackened spikes, a dark mithril coiled dragon pin, a veniom-trimmed black spidersilk surcoat with a scythed sanguine toy dragon peering out from within a pouch, a braided sanguine spidersilk warpack with a jade green toy baby dragon peering out from underneath the flap, a ruby-eyed obsidian dragon ring, a silver-veined war cincture with a thick barrier of faux dragon scale, a tightly woven spidersilk sack, a pair of vultite-toed boots covered in shining greyish-green glaes scales, a sanguine spidersilk backpack with chain-linked bone sinches and a one-eyed toy dragon peering out from underneath a ruby-clasped flap, a deeply-flanged black spidersilk shroud laden with scythed sanguine whorles and finely-cut bloodstones, an armored tiger-claw harness, some dragon-set golvern battle plate, a sanguine spidersilk hip-satchel with a miniature orange dragon woven into the flap, and a bejeweled dragon-shaped talisman.

[CrystalTears]

Dragon fetish much? Holy crow.

Dragon scale tattoos on his face??

How the hell are we going to see a pale ivory birthmark behind his ear with long hair?? I hope he whips his beaded hair hard enough that he beads himself in the face.

[DCSL]

For some reason, my boyfriend and I just can't stop laughing at hoping he "beads himself in the face." High-larious!

[Shari]

ZOMG QUICK, WHAT'S HER PROFESSION!?

You see Jooniper Kindlemae.
She appears to be a Human.
She appears to be in the prime of life. She has darkly-lashed, vibrant honey-hued eyes and radiant, petal-soft apricot skin. She has silvery, blonde hair that tumbles softly over her shoulders in a cascade of bouncing curls. She has a freckle-sprayed, button nose and soft, naturally rosy lips.
She has some tiny bunny paw prints circling her wrist, and a sweet snowy bunny tattoo on her thigh.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing some white diamond-eyed ruby nosed bunny slippers with tiny jingle bells sewn into each long fuzzy ear, a fine azure veniom anklet with tiny diamond bunny charms hanging from small silver hoops, a soft pure white leather satchel, a slender veniom-link waistchain with a small diamond bunny charm dangling from each link, a fuzzy bunny finger puppet, a warm oversized nightshirt, some soft white bunny paw mittens edged with blue ribbons, some white fluffy bunny ears lined with pink silk and edged in diamond dust, a deep azure rose, a thin moonlight white ribbon, some sheer white gossamer leggings, a furry flop-eared bunny button, a blue diamond bunny barrette, a well-traveled veniom stitched cloak, a thin silken azure ribbon suspending an intricate piece of bunny-carved amber, and a hammered sterling silver bracelet set with a sparkly blue bunny-shaped diamond.

[TheEschaton]

I'm guessing that from the ridiculously cutsy name, and the bunnies....sorcie!

[Methais]

Jooniper's a bard.

Here's my horrible alter:

A golden triple delta band
The thick gold of this band supports a striking geometric setting. One large triangle is composed of three smaller delta symbols joined to each other at the tips, leaving a fourth perfect triangle in the center. Inscribed on the triangles, one to each, are the words "Courage," "Wisdom" and "Power." On the inside of the band, a flowing engraving reads "Triforce."

:lol:

Not that bad? Come on, it's way too long to be in good taste. And besides, insects in plurality (as adornment) is just wrong. If it were exquisite in the LEAST, it wouldn't have all that horrid embellishment.

Ah okay, then yeah, that was bad. I didn't even know you could alter an item to have that kind of separation in an alter.

[Sylvan Dreams]

She appears to be a Sylvankind of the Kytawa D'ahranal.
She is average height and appears to be young and sprightly. She has dazzling, long-lashed jade green eyes and smooth sun-kissed fair skin. She has waist length, silky sun-kissed honey blonde hair pulled over one shoulder and gathered loosely with a dainty little barrette. She has a delicate face and a light smattering of freckles on her perfectly proportioned nose. She has dainty ears sweeping up to a slight point and soft, naturally pink-hued lips.
She has a delicate lily tattoo on her ankle, a tiny pair of birds nestled lovingly on a branch above the word "Swallows" tattooed on her wrist, a gem-encrusted star stud in her right nostril, and a series of tiny golden rings set along the slender tips of her pointed ears

Or something like that.

It's not an "eagle feather" cloak, but an "eagle feathered" cloak, which I suppose just means it has some eagle feathers on it somewhere, like a fringe or something.

He appears to be a Faendryl Dark Elf.
He is average height and appears to be very young. He has silver-flecked soulless black eyes and fair skin. He has shoulder length, straight blue-black hair. He has a classical nose and slightly pointed ears.
He has a black rose tattoo on his wrist, a mottled dark deathstone spike in the upper ridge of his left ear, and a chain of intricate runes tattoo on his neck.
He is in good shape.
He is holding an ancient black carmiln staff inlaid with fire opal studded sorcerous runes in his right hand.
He is wearing a glossy black rose, a dark grey alchemy bag, a hazy glass ring, a slim dark silver Faendryl wristband, a string of black prayer beads, a silk-threaded black stave harness, a deep black velvet bag swept with silver sigils, a crystal and rhimar thumb ring, a slim mithril charm bracelet, some crimson trimmed black boots, some shadowy black sorcerers battle-leathers tooled with a ruby-eyed grinning demon on the right breast, a rune-etched thick midnight black onyx armband, some fingerless dark leather gloves, a vaalin-trimmed leather wand harness, a silver-tipped deep black needle, a small onyx skull pin, a dark silver-buttoned vest with fraying armholes, some black leather pants, a floor-length black mesh summoners longcoat adorned with dozens of Vaalin buckles, and a black bandana.

Crylone taps an ale-hued wedding band engraved with a sultry half-elven empath holding a calico kitten that he is wearing.

I wanted to get an alter of those teleport boots to be a pair of 'boots of escaping', wasnt allowed though

[Asile]

Crylone taps an ale-hued wedding band engraved with a sultry half-elven empath holding a calico kitten that he is wearing.

By the time I got to the end of that mess, I almost thought that the empath was a sultry male wearing a held calico kitten! And just how big is that band anyway? Maybe I should try to get images of our menagerie (1 dog, 2 cats) engraved on my husband's wedding band... his is pretty wide... [/sarcasm]

[CrystalTears]

Ugh! I hate depictions on a ring. You could probably get away with it as a show (since I had a little computer on my class ring), but just as the standard item? OMG no.

[Sylvan Dreams]

I don't really understand why depictions on anything are so common. I don't walk around with pictures of Jesus on my purse or bunny-shaped gems on my jeans.

Well, on the bunny-shaped gems, it's probably because I don't have a Bedazzler.

[CrystalTears]

I don't get the fascination either. My rogue has kittens on some of her stuff, but not detailed anything, just cats. But these things of people standing amoung a horde of dead things in front of a sunset on a cloudy day in a field of lilies on a belt buckle? No, doesn't compute.


Well, on the bunny-shaped gems, it's probably because I don't have a Bedazzler.
Heh, that made me gaffaw.

[Nilandia]

I don't really understand why depictions on anything are so common. I don't walk around with pictures of Jesus on my purse or bunny-shaped gems on my jeans.

Same. I never did get the impulse to put pictures on everything. A cloak with the image of an empath healing the wounded? A pouch with the image of a cleric praying to Imaera? Uh... what?

The best idea I can come up with is that people want to advertise their character concept or what is important to them, so they put pictures of it on their clothes. It's like a walking scrapbook or billboard of their lives.

[thefarmer]

a patched canvas tobacco pouch stitched with a plow-harnessed mule team, an ironwood flask inlaid with a vaalorn plow

Nothing wrong with a few long descriptions.

Not that I particularly care about fashion sense with my main.

[CrystalTears]

I want that pouch.

[ViridianAsp]

I think simple descriptions are fine, but when people go the whole nine yards on it...it becomes ridiculous and the same one over and over on EVERYTHING.


Over used themes...and depictions. That what bugs me most.

Nuh uh.

You tap a Farmer's guild tattoo that you are wearing.
>l farm tat
Boldly inked in black are the words, "Founding Member" beneath the symbol.

You tap a dusty equipment harness with a golvern alloy-edged hoe and a golvern alloy-edged shovel strapped to it that you are wearing.
>l shov
You see nothing unusual.
>l my shov
Carved from a thick length of ironwood, and carefully polished to display the natural whorls and lines in the grain, the tool looks heavy and sturdy enough to survive the rigors of farm work. The grey-brown wood has been wrapped with strips of protective canvas, forming a comfortable handhold. Reinforced in golvern alloy, the shovel blade looks strong enough for the toughest of challenges. Etched in the flat of the blade is the the mark of the Farmer's guild and the words "Founding Member" below it. The shovel is surrounded by a scintillating red light.
>l hoe
With a haft crafted from thick length ironwood and strengthened by carefully placed smooth iron bands, the steel-bladed hoe appears to be in good working condition. Polished to a dark brown sheen, the natural whorls of the wood grain are visible beneath the thick iron circles. A thick edging of golvern alloy adds a touch of bright embellishment to the blade. The only other adornment is a sigil of alloy inlay on the end of the ironwood pole, displaying the mark of the Farmer's Guild. You also notice a small enchanter's glyph.

[thefarmer]

You see Lord Mysic Singster.

I so want to see this person with one of my characters, cover their eyes and scream.

"MY EYES, OH SWEET MERCIFUL ZELIA! THE SHIMMERS.. THE SHIMMERS!"

[petroglyph]

You see Devix Nightsin the Forestwalker.
She appears to be an Illistim Elf.
She is tall and appears to be in the flower of life. She has brooding silver eyes and deeply-veined, ashen grey skin. She has long, dirty black hair with ghastly white streaks that has been rolled up into a well shaped bun to make it resemble a large black spider.
She has an angular face, a classical nose and a jagged scar across her lower lip. She is inked with a pattern of interwoven crimson thorned vines upon her face.
She has a series of deathstone black widow-shaped rings inset with ruby hourglasses in her lip, a series of tiny golden rings set along the slender tips of her pointed ears, a long-legged black spider tattoo on her ear, a crimson hourglass tattoo on her wrist, a spider web tattoo on her neck, a tattooed symbol of Arachne on her wrist, a black widow tattoo on her neck, and a black angel tattoo on her ear.
She is in good shape.
She is holding a barbed glaes composite bow etched with spidery runes in her left hand.
She is wearing some ancient priestess' boots, a barbed anklet clasped with an obsidian black widow, a cobwebbed petrified egg sac covered with a myriad of onyx black widow spiders, a cobweb covered treasure bag embroidered with tiny black spiders, an emerald signet ring etched with a gilden willow tree, a silver and ruby ring, a wickedly barbed bracer clasped with eight ruby and platinum hourglass buckles, some Arachne-crested brigandine inset with innumerable chaotic diamond cobwebs, a web-covered weapons harness with a silver spider closure, a glossy black leather corset stitched with a ruby red hourglass of cobweb satin, a carved obsidian crow pin, a web-etched clasp, a midnight black jacket, a black widow spider pin, a vaalin-swept illthorn leaf pin, a platinum-bound maoral Adventurer's Guild badge, a webbed black leather thigh-quiver adornd with tiny obsidian black widows, some onyx-eyed silver spider hairpins, some web-etched black combat gloves, a garnet Arachne symbol, a white spider lily, a black armband, a glossy black ankle length longcoat, a cord-strung suede talisman pouch embossed with a russet fox, some blood red prayer beads enameled with black widow spiders, a chain of black onyx spiders, and a sparkling alexandrite earcuff.

I'm all for wacky hairstyles, but. . .no. Just, no.

We got that you liked spiders after the first tattoo. Really.

[Praefection]

Ow, my eyes.


He appears to be an Elf.
He is taller than average and appears to be very young. He has sparkling argent-flecked emerald green eyes and fair skin. He has neck length, windblown vibrant platinum hair accented with a single veniom-beaded braid aligned with his right earlobe. He has a round face, a thin nose and slightly pointed ears.

[DCSL]

I love how his braid floats around.

[diethx]

I love how his braid floats around.

I don't think it floats. I think windblown just means messy?

[CrystalTears]

I don't think it floats. I think windblown just means messy?
Yep, just means messy.

Although I will say that sometimes I see a description of windblown has a bit of a double standard. Seeing it for a woman's hairstyle means to some "ooh sexy cause it's all over the place", the longer the hair the better. However men, especially short hair, sporting windblown just means they're all messy. At least that's how I perceive it.

[CrystalTears]

And can I say that I can't STAND outfits like that spider up there, or people who wear all orange. I can understand having a theme where a certain animal, color, bug is part of a small percentage of items you're wearing. But when nearly everything has a scarab, or a spider, or everything being all one single color? OMG don't people visualize this stuff in their head at all?

[Hips]

I think she meant because of the veniom. Supposedly pure veniom floats, or whatever.

[DCSL]

Yeah. I meant because of the veniom. I know what windblown means. >_<

[Allereli]

another "ok, we get the point already" character:

You see Buen Assters the Butcher.
He appears to be a Dwarf of the Krethuum Clan.
He appears to be old. He has deep-set silver eyes and ruddy skin. He has raggedly cut, tied back auburn hair with a large bald spot. He has a weathered face, a crooked nose and a thick mustache and beard.
He is in good shape.
He is wearing a dirty rat fur hat, a flea-infested knapsack pieced together from assorted mangy grey rat skins, a scratched silver monocle, a crystal amulet, a grey vultite shield, a bedraggled rat fur armband, a gornar-bound kobold skin Adventurer's Guild badge, an artic titan toe clasp, some silvery vultite cufflinks, a silver sovyn clove beard clip, a silver-banded quartz stickpin, a flea-infested rat fur vest, a ragged blood-stained leather arm bracer, a silver dwarven wand belt, a dusty brown locksmith's toolkit, a golden imflass scroll tube, a flea-infested rat fur kilt, a pair of flea-infested boots, a pale crystal shard, a blue black glaesine orb, a White Haven bear head pin, a tiny invar volcano pin, a flea-infested kobold skin cloak, a furry flea-bitten rolton, a faded gold ring, and some aproned blood-stained brigandine.

[CrystalTears]

Good grief.

You see Ana.
She appears to be a Human.
She is very tall and appears to be in the prime of life. She has emerald lashed, brilliant cobalt green eyes and pale skin. She has shoulder length, wavy sandy blonde hair tied into a loose ponytail with an emerald green scarf. She has a freckled nose and full, silken lips and tiny dimples. Below her left eye is a small, dark birthmark that oddly resembles a poison ivy leaf.
She has a braided blond ponytail, a conspicuous blond human tattoo on her wrist, a small empath tattoo on her neck, and a little green dot tattoo on her forehead.
She has a fractured and bleeding left arm, minor cuts and bruises on her abdominal area, and some minor cuts and bruises on her right arm.
She has a mangled right arm, old battle scars on her right leg, old battle scars on her right hand, an old battle scar across her chest, several painful-looking scars across her abdominal area, an old battle scar across her back, and a scar across her neck.
She is bleeding slightly from the left arm.
She is holding an empath staff with "You Whine, You Bleed" carved in large letters in her right hand.
She is wearing a tourmaline inset platinum bracelet, a soft fuzzy green hat with little untied ear flaps, a soft emerald green hooded cloak, a black regal griffin insignia, a fuzzy green tail with singed ends, an emerald green satin bodice with small shadowy figures peeking from behind the lacing, an invar-bound granite Adventurer's Guild badge, a droopy-eyed amber hued lizard, a deep pink scarf, a silvery service medal, some green leathers dyed the exact shade of unripe bananas, a poison green wristlet inset with a tiny emerald, an emerald engagement ring, an emerald satchel stitched with "Green Stones Only Please" on the flap, an emerald green flask with "ANA" inscribed on the front, a poison green sack clearly marked "non-green stuff", an emerald green satin skirt embroidered with little assassin figures running around the hem, a delicate green sapphire infused anklet, and a pair of poison green slippers.

[StrayRogue]

Ana is awesome.

[CrystalTears]

Not judging the character, just the awful ensemble.

[Nilandia]

Cobalt green eyes? I thought cobalt was blue.

Gretchen

Gretchen

Cobalt IS blue. The only way that would make sense, is if there were a hyphen in between them.

[SayGoodbye]

It's definitely an odd choice of color since everyone associates it with blue but dictionary.com seems to think its a real color:

cobalt green
–noun
1. a medium, yellowish-green color.
2. Also called zinc green. a pigment used in painting consisting mainly of oxides of cobalt and zinc, characterized chiefly by its green color, fast drying rate, permanence, and lack of tinting strength.

Weird, i'd never heard of a cobalt green before. Sounds ugly too, lol. Kind of like snot from a sinus infection.

[Nilandia]

Never heard of it myself, either.

Gretchen

[Sylvan Dreams]

Cobalt green is quite real. I've used it when I used to oil paint.

Cobalt yellow also exists.

"Cobalt" is the name of the element that's used to make blue in glass and ceramics, that's why people usually associate the two.

[thefarmer]

My mom uses cobalt colors when she paints watercolors.

I want to say there's blue, grey, green, yellow.

[thefarmer]

Doh.

Nevermind.

I want to know why she has a ponytail in her description and is wearing one too. I'm sorry, but isn't that a little overkill? I mean besides the GREEN
