What Are You Wearing?

Here's my wizard, I don't think I've shown her off before.

You see Lady Oriona the Magician.
She appears to be an Illistim Elf.
She appears to be of a tender age and shorter than average. She has long-lashed pale blue eyes and alabaster skin. She has hip-length, silky red hair streaked with fiery golden highlights. She has a delicate face, an upturned nose and slightly upswept pointed ears.
She has a series of tiny golden rings set along the slender tips of her pointed ears.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a fiery red ruby-set choker, an elegant crest pendant, a gleaming chrysoberyl necklace, an onyx-inlaid dragonfire opal ring, a rippling dark silk cloak swept with swirled fiery hues, a side-laced black leather corset set with curved black steel boning, some fiery scarlet leather, a silk-threaded black stave harness, a satin-swept scarlet silk skirt twined with onyx-hued patterns, a fiery red sack, and a pair of knee-high black leather boots tipped with fiery scarlet.

>look pend
Designed with immense detail, the intricate pendant details the clan crest. Set in a gold imperial frame, the tiny crest consists of a colorful peacock set above a black panther, and a brilliant crimson rose on a field of sapphire blue. Along the crest, it is accented with a flourish of flames, flanked to the left with a sleeping dark blue panther, and flanked to the right with a pair of crossed silver wands. At the top of the crest, the owner is honored with a white-rimmed silver-starred diamond.

Oh, and the chrysoberyl necklace, though it doesn't match..was changed during an event with some tigers, and she was given this(by Andelas, since we had saved some tiger cubs and my friend and I were willing to give our lives in sacrifice..long story)

The show:Each of the cabochon-cut stones on the necklace glimmers with the same greenish-golden hue as a cat's eye.

Whoa, your character actually got a jewel!? I didn't think they'd given any out yet. How'd she do it?

Hahaha. I'm a HOE. And yeah, they haven't given out any jewels to my knowledge, it's like getting spurs or a crown that says you are like the Emperor. People aren't supposed to have them made and GMs aren't supposed to do it, but it happens. Then again I could have missed something in my recent absence.

Someone was ticked about it on the official boards. Merchants were making items with the elven hero gem thingies or whatever.

A Gm responded by saying that even though you have a gem, you shouldn't expect any NPC to honor it. NPCs will consider them fakes.

I RP'd it and had no clue that it was allowed..but that's fine..

I doubt I'd ever meet a NPC that would look closely enough at her pendant to say a word. Besides, my character would insiste it was real because she wouldn't know anything about "the game" saying it wasn't real.;)

It's a long story, but very real to my character.

It isn't that the "game" says it isn't real. It is that you have to be honored by an Elven royal in order to receive it and since GMs are the only ones able to play Elven royal families, then they could say, "That is a fake." It's like someone wearing spurs and claiming to be a knight. The baron or earl would have to give that title to them.

We aren't trying to rain on your parade, it's just that stuff like that can at times lessen the experience of someone who does earn a jewel. Just like how I was annoyed after finally getting my forehead gem only to have GMs make them on the WD after they said those were to be the only ones allowed. Ah well, nature of the "game" I suppose.

Uhh anyways. It's a nicely put together crest.

Those forehead gems really aren't the same or as special I am told... They're just sitting there.

Well, previously there wasn't a way to earn jewels, so people had to actually make up stories behind them..god forbid.

Sorry if I seem testy about it..but back when I started playing Vaalor wasn't even around, or Illistim..it was just a part of the lands in history, and there weren't Elven Royals around for it either.

New outfit!

You see Lysistrata.
She appears to be a Nalfein Elf.
She appears to be young and average height. She has subtly shadow-rimmed contrasting grey and black eyes and fair skin. She has long, perfectly straight deep scarlet hair swept smoothly back from a sharp widow's peak. She has a delicate face and high cheekbones.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing an ornamental two-tone faenor gorget, a half-buttoned black suede longcoat, a sheer-backed ebony faille bodice, a timeworn faenor Nalfein ring, a pair of low-waisted reptilian green leather pants, and a pair of tall side-buckled boots.

Gorget:
The basic design of the gorget follows traditional lines with a nearly chin-high collar to protect the throat and a curving projection partially covering the chest and shoulders. But its sinuous filigree form shows it is meant for decorative use. Half of the faenor is preserved in its dark-veined pale green, interwoven with faenor so blackened it retains only highlights of its usual hue. Together with the filigree pattern, the mix of faenor gives the impression of vivid, unnatural flames.

Longcoat:
Soft, flawlessly dyed black suede makes up this longcoat, with burnished silver buttons running from its high stiff collar to the calf-length hem. The garment is only fastened from the collar to the top of the waist, though, allowing it to flare back dramatically.

Ring:
Time has worn smooth and shiny the surface of the ring in most places, showing its many years of use, though the natural appearance of pale verdant veins tinged with evergreen is undimmed. A circle of dark jade has been mounted in the faenor, with a stylized Nalfein rose imbedded in the jade with iridescent carved black pearl petals.

I really love that longcoat. :smilegrin:
