What Are You Wearing?

A few new or sort of new things. I'm really happy with my quiver.

You see Nuadjha kis'Anthri the Huntmaster.
He appears to be a Half-Sylvan.
He is taller than average and appears to be in the spring of life. He has sharply angled inquisitive tawny eyes and weathered golden brown skin. He has tousled and sun-streaked, unruly russet hair hacked off crudely at the shoulders and stained at the ends with a melange of autumnal hues. He has a triangular, flat-planed face and slightly pointed ears. Thin scars permanently dyed a deep cerulean crisscross his forearms.
He has a trio of mithglin hoops with bone-beaded raven feathers set along the slender tips of his pointed ears, a tattoo of gold-tipped black briars that twist around his left eye and curl in tangled knots down his cheek, some Sylvan runes on his arm, and a rune tattoo on his arm.
He is in good shape.
He is holding a gleaming sephwir recurve longbow in his left hand.
He is wearing a glimmering ruby sunburst earring, a dark leather hooded storm cloak, a dull silver cloak clasp, an oiled leather knapsack with wooden toggles, a silver-traced leather bandolier over some finely woven bronzed mail with a long-sleeved linen arming tunic underneath, a faenor-laced dark leather quiver, a weathered satchel, a shuttered faenor lantern charm, a leather herb pouch with a simple tie, some sleek tawny leather pants with brown jade buttons, and a pair of dirt-covered tracking boots.

Cloak (slightly altered from when I bought it): Crafted from thick cuts of leather this cloak is riveted, rather than stitched, with invar studs. Each of the panels meet in a ridge of doubled leather seams, rolled around each other to hide their edges and provide added protection to the wearer. You also notice a small enchanter's glyph.

Mail (an old alter of mine, but I just got it back): Thick leather padding at the joints and shoulders of the simple but finely crafted suit of mail protects the wearer from heavy blows and evenly distributes the weight, while a thin coating of bronze protects the vultite links from corrosion due to the elements. High on the upper left breast, dark green faenor links pick out a circle of briars that surrounds a stylized triangular foxhead. Curiously, the mail seems to resist abrupt changes in shape and its links fall unusually softly against one another. You also notice a small enchanter's glyph.

Quiver (new from the Spitfire): Finely drawn faenor thread binds a cap of hardened leather to a supple cylinder of the same material with a double row of precise, cross-hatched stitches. Straight as an arrow shot, the sturdy stitches climb the side of the quiver and draw it tightly closed. An embossed sephwir leaf on the opposing side is the only other decoration except for a thin band of lustrous mithril that reinforces the lip of the quiver.
There appears to be something written on it.

In the Sylvankind language, it reads:
May the paths be ever hidden.

From piratey power to buxom babydoll.

You see Laphrael Miran'ta the Cordwainer to the Argent Mirror.
She appears to be a Half-Sylvan.
She is lithely petite and appears to have come of age. She has tanzanite-haloed vibrant azure eyes and creamy, magnolia white skin. She has upswept, mulberry red hair in a stylishly disarrayed mass of short finger-teased curls. She has a high-cheekboned, yet subtly rounded face, an upturned nose and a narrow waist. She has a light peppering of freckles on her cheeks, and faintly curving natural-toned lips. An oval-cut white starstone with night blue accents is positioned between her eyes, which casts a sparkling bluish white sheen across her face.
She has a spiraling obsidian eight-pointed star tattoo under her left collarbone on her chest.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing an organza-trim white faille tricorn fanned with long ivory feathers, a reticella lace shrug, a leather and bronze shield bandolier over a pressed ecru muslin gauze corset, a tiered thigh-length skirt of powder pink ruffled satin and ivory lace, and some shapely blush leather ankle-boots inset with lace flounces.

Laphrael positions a hand on her hip while cocking her head up, elongating the silhouette of her neck. She arches her back slightly and rests her other hand upon her chest, which slowly rises and falls with every measured breath.

>l bandolier
This heavy bandolier is overlaid with a series of hardened round mahogany leather shields, each one accented with concentric rings of grommets and studded with an onyx nodule, concealing the blade loops from view. A larger incised bronze disk, engraved with an unfurled-winged egret, masks the buckles used to cinch the bandolier close to the chest. Another strap winds around in the opposite direction, loosely draped with a pair of polished coppery chains, supporting smaller drawstring-tied pouches.

>l corset
The shapely conical corset is crafted over a thick frame of champagne tapestry cotton and braced with narrow copper bones, while the outer layer of translucent gauzy ecru muslin is pressed to give it an a sinuously crinkled appearance. The plunging neckline is supported by wide shoulder-ties of blush pink taffeta, matched by the voluminous overflow of ribbons that cinch the material down the spine.

>l ankle
Elegantly engraved inside the ankle-boots is the name 'Laphrael Miran'ta'.

That's what I like about Laph. Not every character could design and wear an outfit like that without looking like a skank. She always makes it seem more like high fashion than street walker.

Runway walker.

I love the dress and her new ring.

You see Boatswain Silima Oneriel Illistim the Artist.
She appears to be an Elf.
She is taller than average and appears to be youthful. She has silver-filmed pastel blue eyes and milky white skin. She has very long, lustrous argent hair which falls in a pin-straight curtain past her waist. She has a plain and narrow face, a thin, sharply pointed nose and very long, tapering ears that culminate in severe points. Her neck is exceedingly spindly and of a delicacy that contributes to her overall gaunt, and wan, appearance.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing some silver spectacles with smoky half-moon lenses, a wide ivory ribbon choker set with an ebon-rimmed stark white moonstone, a smooth raw silk satchel slung over her shoulder, a pure white mink capelet, a rigidly corseted pearly grey silk dress with an exaggerated and frilly bustle, a black vaalin ring cradled in white eahnor, a small velveteen pouch, and a pair of sleek charcoal black boots.

l ring
Fashioned of black vaalin and white vaalin, the ring is comprised of two bands wedded to become one. The larger band has slightly higher walls designed to loosely cradle the smaller band, which is free to spin around the other piece without coming loose. Etched into the black vaalin is a delicate mournbloom, which is drawn petal to stem within the metal, while the white eahnor displays the image of a single peacock feather wreathed in a herringbone chain. Dark, plum-hued feystones create the petals of the flower, just as sapphires and emeralds form the hues of the feather.

I just noticed the typo in her ring... yeah.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to ViridianAsp again.

So I'll write it here instead ... So do I!

The Workery is the best. And I'm grateful for the new cobbling materials, which Laphrael has graciously already used for Strata.

You see Lady Lysistrata Scio Nalfein.
She appears to be an Elf.
She is average height and appears to be an adult. She has slanting, mismatched grey and black eyes and intensely pale skin. She has long, glass-smooth deep scarlet hair swept up into an intricately knotted bun, adorned with some jet black fragile orchid blossoms. She has a refined collection of quintessentially Elven features, from the sharply defined cheekbones and patrician nose to the delicate outline of her jaw.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a pair of antique silver chandelier earrings tiered with faceted blood-hued despanals, a gem-beaded silk shrug, a slim-lined cardinal charmeuse corset, a blackened eahnor ring-of-flames solitude band, a full midnight-hued skirt of smoothly draped satin, and some black shark skin spike-heeled shoes laced with coils of barbed wire.

You see Boatswain Merelle Hart Nalfein.
She appears to be an Elf.
She is tall and appears to be young. She has long-lashed warm russet gold-flecked eyes and silky smooth, lightly sunkissed skin. She has hip-length, soft flaxen blonde hair captured and bound at the nape of the neck by several wooden beaded braids tied in a casual knot. She has a delicate face, a straight nose and thin-tipped pointed ears. Her left cheek has been marred by a series of fine silver scars.
She has some spiraling golden rings set along the slender tips of her pointed ears, and a twisting vine and leaf tattoo on her arm.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a shaggy wolverine fur capelet, a long-chained gold owl pendant with black glaes eyes, a collection of long mithglin chains, a deep black leather waistcoat over a bone white batiste leine ruffled at the sleeves with reticella lace, a golden leather hip-satchel, a pair of narrow black suede pants side-slashed from the calf down, and some deep black leather poulaines.

Tempted to wear an eye-patch too for the last few days ...

Lithyia is fickle and is now dressed for a spot of tea...

You see Boatswain Lithyia Medeea.
She appears to be a Human from Allace.
She is shorter than average and appears to be youthful. She has long-lashed brown eyes and olive skin. She has long, meticulously kept deep brown hair pulled back from her face with a delicate blue porcelain haircomb. She has an angular face and high cheekbones.
She has a pair of tiny silver loops in the ridges of both her ears, a trio of small spiral seashells peeking out of the sand tattooed on her ankle, and a tattooed symbol of Niima on her wrist.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a wide-brimmed satin hat decorated with feathers and clusters of taffeta millinery, a reticella lace shrug, a raspberry silk tea-length dress with antique lace accents and delicate beadwork, a soft silver-clasped handbag, a pair of vintage gloves with petite pearl beading down the front, a petite silk keepsake pouch, a reticella lace satchel, and some dainty ruffle-trimmed boots.

Looks like I forgot to remove the porcelain haircomb. Will do that when I log in again...

I gather that they no longer allow chaps in GS, including forging chaps, for some reason. Still, Strata likes hers. Shooz by Laph, of course.

You see Lady Lysistrata Scio Nalfein.
She appears to be an Elf.
She is average height and appears to be an adult. She has slanting, mismatched grey and black eyes and intensely pale skin. She has long, glass-smooth deep scarlet hair held in a loose chignon by a set of petite black lacquered hairpins. She has a refined collection of quintessentially Elven features, from the sharply defined cheekbones and patrician nose to the delicate outline of her jaw.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a short front-buckled black leather jacket lined in fluffy grifflet down, a high-collared emerald satin bodice, a blackened eahnor ring-of-flames solitude band, some black suede chaps side-buckled with a multitude of straps, a pair of tight black leather pants, and some dark kidskin riding boots fringed with wispy grifflet down.
