What Are You Wearing?

I really like the tasset and circlet!

And since we're posting our bad-ass outfits, I'm going to post Jolena's current one as of today. For those of you who know her, you know she's being hunted down by an evil Reiver sorceress named Hagga who wants to make Jolena her 'pet' and perform evil blood ceremonies on her. Well hehe. Jolena has decided enough is enough damnit :lol: And so she's come out of hiding and decided to play tough right back.


You see Jolena.
She appears to be a Human.
She appears to be young and shorter than average. She has mismatched cerulean and smaragdine eyes and supple sun-toned tawny skin. She has hip-length, deep scarlet hair held in a loose chignon by some ebony hand-painted hairsticks. She has an elegantly sculpted face, a button nose and long, subtly-upturned lashes. She has soft, delicately-contoured and naturally-tinged deep rose lips.
She has a crescent moon tattoo on her neck.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a deeply-hooded fluid dark silk cloak, a dark-sheened soft velvet bodice, a curvaceous black sylvan corselet, an antique rune-etched armband, a ruby red eahnor wedding ring, a sigil-chased dark velvet sack, a thick leather sword belt with an etched mithril buckle, some dark flowing silk pants, an elegant black silk thighband, and some slim black narrow-toed boots.

thighband:
The thighband is composed of a double layer of supple leather the width of two fingers. The inner side is lined with satin for comfort while a layer of fine black elven silk covers the outer side. Evenly spaced ruby studs faceted into small crescent moons keep the fabrics in place while allowing for a narrow blade to be slipped between the two layers of leather. Delicate ruby-dusted sylvan runes alternate with the studs on the outer side and meet with the reinforced silk straps fastening the garment.
(Inside is a thin shadowed steel stiletto)

Armband: (bonded to her sister Michiko)
Dual lengths of eahnor and natural white vaalin have been meticulously twisted and melded together in a sinuous ring of leaves designed to clasp closely around the arm. Despite the obvious antiquity of this piece, the metals have managed to hold their luster throughout the years. Tiny ancient sylvan runes have been etched into each of the metals in a random pattern and a small crescent moon-shaped sylvarraend ruby has been inset at the center.
There appears to be something written on it.
In the Common language, it reads:
"Thicker than water, our bond is infinite."


Corselet: (her FGB)
Lined with soft crimson silk for comfort, the corselet has been crafted for stealth as well as comfort. Magnificent tailoring and well-oiled sturdy leather attest to the importance it holds in its owner's eyes and contributes to keeping the wearer safe as well as assuring silence in movement. Intricate sylvan runes of protection are etched upon the rigid surface, and an intricately-detailed modwir tree with branches spread protectively is tooled onto the right shoulder pauldron. You also notice a small enchanter's glyph.

Everything is off the shelf except for the ring and the few alters I showed here. The belt is actioned:

Jolena's hands grab both of her weapons and she barely clears them from the belt at the same time.

Jolena's hands grab both of her weapons and she barely clears them from the belt at the same time.

You remove a thick leather sword belt with an etched mithril buckle from around your waist.

You slip the leather sword belt around your waist and buckle it tightly, adjusting the scabbards so one rests on each hip.

Jolena idly drums her fingers on the hilts of her sheathed weapons.

Hee! Love the fighting mode

Dex! I crie black tears of joy over your "I'm wicked but I'm sexy outfit." Let the masses rejoice. Seriously, I think it's one of the best you've ever done.

Hadya, I like the simplicity of the outfit as well as the celadon, which is sadly an underused color. Not to mention cherry blossomes > all.

That corset is off the shelf from the WD, actually. And yes, the swan is actually part of her crest. :D I just have to find out how to design the crest. I know there's info on how to do it but I've been supremely lazy.

That circlet is awesome, btw.

It's actually pretty easy. If you have her father and mother's signifiers and her flourish (passed down from her mother's family) I can whip it together for you and you can of course improve on it.

Soo. Since I'm always complaining about people not posting enough I dusted off one of my chars and decided to show her outfit.


You see Cherlia Kriylth the Initiate.
She appears to be an Elf.
She appears to be immature and shorter than average. She has large blue-grey eyes and bronze skin. She has very long, sandy blonde hair that is braided and pulled back tight across the crown of her head. She has a pinched nose.
She has a mangled right leg.
She is holding a spiral-carved mistwood walking stick reinforced with a black mithril tip in her right hand.
She is wearing a grey-edged ebony facial veil, a whorled crystal ball symbol, a blackworked dove grey silk robe, some long twilight grey silken robes adorned with black velvet spirals on the sleeves, some twisted grey prayerbeads, a large clear hollow crystal pouch, and a pair of silver-laced sandals.


I see the prayerbeads as wrapping around her waist and everything except the robes, stick and symbol are off the shelf.

Show on the symbol:
Suspended from a fine mithril chain of a deep grey hue is a gleaming pure silver symbol in the shape of a crystal ball set on a small pedestal. Dark veins of onyx are inlaid into the silver, swirling around the circumference and giving the ball a misty appearance.

She is supposed to have the mangled leg. It is from an attack by Faendryl when she was a younger and the magic they used makes it impossible to be healed. So now she's kind of a charity case for the Temple of Jastev in Solhaven. Probably the only "child" character I'll ever attempt. And no, she doesn't hunt which is why she will continue to be shelved until alt-exp comes out.


Your turn!

how do you organize your inv?

ive been trying to figure that out forever.

Take everything off, then put toe to head. So, put your footwear on, then pants etc. I always put armor somewhere in the middle. Just think logically about the head to toe order you would wear them and don't wear too much fluff. (Unless you're an empath who hangs out in TSC) ;)

Also, remember when you log in again your inv will be the wrong way around so its best to log in twice and get it in order. :)

good rule of thumb:

footwear, ankle-wear, thigh-wear, leg-wear, belt-wear, finger-wear, wrist-wear, arm-wear, armor, torso-wear, cloak-wear, neck-wear, shoulder-wear, ear-wear, head-wear

You see Baktu the Vindicator.
He appears to be an Erithian.
He is average height. He has deep-set emerald eyes and lightly tanned skin. He has shoulder length, unkempt reddish grey hair streaked with silver. He has arched eyebrows.
His face is concealed by a deep red sai patterned silk mask.
He is in good shape.
He is wearing a large incarnadine helm spiked with a triad of curved blades, a two-headed amethyst snake symbol, a cloudy dark crystal pendant suspended from a tarnished intertwined faenor and silver chain, an antique silver weapons harness edged with braided veniom wire and clasped with a carved diamond pentagram, some bronzed black leather brigandine, a flowing velvet longcoat swept with variegated crimson and black hues, a black steel-banded manacle made of bloodstained bone, an iron and mithril band, a large bulging loot sack, a dark leather tasse twined with violet steel asps, and a pair of narrow-toed dark violet boots.

Just my little Erithian Paladin, Amasalen follower. I do have to say, 1613 rocks with him, so do the unlocked scripts from Brother Iasha's weapons.
