Minor updates since the Albatross started!
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 mid-length, dark mulberry hair woven with flat, waxed lengths of glossy stygian and amber yarn through an off-centered lattice of tiny milky white pearls. 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.
She has a pair of rosy pursed lips tattoo under her left collarbone on her chest.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a transluscent glass lariat draping a trio of tiny black diamond studs, a tasseled dark silk shrug crowned with sable chiffon gatherings, a sleek bronze satin corset supported by a wide collar of ruffled black organza, a short gathered ebon-washed bronze taffeta skirt trailing a floor-length bustle, and some polished black salamander skin thigh-boots buckled with bronze.
>l tattoo
The rosy pink hue that fills in this pair of pursed lips is a subtle addition to her milky white flesh. Slight imperfections in the inking evoke a natural texture, as though a permanent rendering of a kiss, complete with a strong curvature of the upper lip and fullness of the lower. The image is set just below the left collarbone along the curvature of the chest, angled slightly towards the sternum, with a small stylized star inked just to the right.
>l lariat
A single coil of crystalline clear glass wraps in a lariat style necklace with only a slender length of silvery cord along the back to allow the piece to flex and loop through itself. A translucent wire drapes down from the front, weighted by a trio of tiny black diamond studs, each encircled by a tonal metallic bezel, that would rest gently along the wearer's sternum at fixed intervals, appearing as if piercing the skin directly. It appears that a firm pull would unseat the diamond.
In other news, Joola jewelry is awesome.

Such pretty things. I may have to fit some of them into DR.
We have a ball tonight.

You have an oval face with elegant arched eyebrows, pointed ears, tilted almond-shaped jade eyes and a classical nose. Your red-gold-streaked blue-black hair is shoulder length and thick, and is worn in an elegant upswept arrangement threaded with several strands of tiny seed pearls. You have pale skin and a slender figure.
You are tiny for an Elf.
You are wearing a pair of small lazurite hoops, a twisted steel choker inset with a satin-smooth red fire pearl, an off-the-shoulder paprika-hued charmeuse silk gown with blackwork embroidery at the hem, a slender steel finger claw set with a cabochon royal Zoluren topaz and a pair of black moire silk sandals.

Fun with Burlesque on the Albatross!
You see Khystra Graynan.
She appears to be a Half-Sylvan.
She is shorter than average and appears to be of a tender age. She has rose-shadowed vivid lavender eyes and milky white skin. She has mid-length, lustrous raven-black hair shot with coiling highlights of brilliant lilac. She has a delicate amethyst-glittered face, a classical nose and slightly pointed ears.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a triple-stranded choker of tiny iridescent pink pearls, a matte-black strapless satin corset, some sheer black organza gloves wrist-tied with pale pink satin, a flounced black split-front taffeta skirt pinned up at the sides to reveal tiers of pink tulle, and some jet and pink diamond-patterned opaque stockings under some frilled black leather knee-boots.
l at corset
Each stiffly-boned panel of this matte black satin corset is accented along the edges with miniature pink pearls that trace the strong curvature of the hourglass shape. The heart-shaped neckline is trimmed with a delicate froth of ivory lace with a sheer organza ribbon bow tied at the center.
>l at knee-boots
With thick soles and tall, stocky heels, these knee-boots are crafted from oiled matte black leather. Scalloped bands of rosy and pearlescent organza trim the cuffs, while matching silk ribbons lace into a column of artful bows down the back. Elegantly engraved inside the boots is the name 'Khystra Graynan'.

Ready to gamble recklessly...
You see Ahmarante Angrave.

She is in good shape.
She is holding a silk-backed jet lace fan in her right hand.
She is wearing a tri-strand black diamond choker, a pair of elbow-length dark gloves, a fitted strapless gown of elegant black silk taffeta with a beaded tulle insert, a latticework ebony silk ribbon reticule, and some slender low-heeled ebon silk slippers.
>look choker
Faceted jet stones of various sizes comprise the overlapping arcs, arranged to resemble the open weave of decadent Turamzzyrian lace. The top half of the choker is snug, while the lower half is meant to swing freely against the hollow of the throat. The centerpiece stone is a marquise-cut diamond of the deepest ebon hue. The opulent gem gathers a triple strand of cascading tiers, forming an elegant swag of jewels which glisten in the ambient light.

Because I haven't slept much.. again. I decided to amuse myself with piratey stuff..
You see Lunaryna Sha'Ralaen Faendryl.
She appears to be a Dark Elf.
She is rather petite in size and appears to be in the spring of life. She has tilted, crimson-haloed deep aureate eyes and ebon-tinged smooth ashen skin. She has hip-length, silky smooth white hair tucked under a tightly knotted ebon muslin bandana worn as a skullcap. She has a delicately structured, aristocratic face and slightly upswept ears with missing points. She has a skull-stamped black leather eyepatch covering one of her eyes.

Because red has always been her color...
You see Ahmarante Angrave.
She appears to be a Human from Honneland.
She is average height and appears to be in the bloom of youth. She has refulgent hematite-hued eyes and fair skin. She has long, glossy brunette hair with lighter streaks. She has an angular face, an upturned nose and thin eyebrows.
She is in good shape.
She is holding a latticework ebony silk ribbon reticule in her left hand.
She is wearing a vivid red faceted rhodochrosite suspended from a red silk ribbon, a tightly laced dramatic red gown, and some red-toned marbled silk slippers with narrow pointy toes.
>look gown
This gown's bodice is a slender corset paneled from luxuriant red silk. Discreet hooks of matte black steel secure the corset's busk, hinting at the nature of the stays within. Detachable, off-the-shoulder straps, a mere hand span in width, attach with contrasting black ribbons to match the lacing at the spine. The skirt is pleated, dramatically full compared to the upper portion of the gown. A dainty tulle petticoat peeks out from beneath the hem, as it pools into a dark circle upon the ground.

Not something I am wearing, but I designed this set and put it together and wanted to show it off a wee bit.
A slender vultite katana: This weapon's curving blade bears a pattern of waves, indicating that the metal was folded and refolded upon itself countless times as it was forged into a sword. The blade is met by the tsuba, a circle of silver-dipped vultite. Within the circle of the tsuba is the image of a willow tree, its branches wrapping all the way around. Below that, the hilt is wrapped in alternating green and brown silk, finally capped with silver-dipped vultite also etched with a willow.
There appears to be something written on it.
It says, in Erithian, “Willow's Lash”
It is 4x, standard katana weighting of HCW, and is max lightened to 3lbs.
A folded vultite wakizashi with a green silk wrapped willow hilt - Two spherical depressions adorn the vultite wakizashi, approximately the size and shape of a small gem. All of the gem chambers are currently empty.
It says, in Erithian, "Willow in the Wind"
Wakizashi is 4x, 3lbs, and a fusion weapon.
a grey-green raw silk vatanura - A grey-green raw silk vatanura, made in classic erithi style, is masterfully folded to reveal a repeating pattern in the fine silk. The vatanura winds securely around two scabbards that are designed to rest off the left hip. The first, a lacquered willow scabbard, is set slightly forward and lower than the second, a lacquered willow scabbard. Both are angled for a quick draw in combat.
It's an altered Greame sash. A vatanura is an erithian style sash. It will hold a katana and wakizashi and/or tanto.. It holds two at a time. The vatanura is very zested, as well.
I am hoping it goes to an Erithian. I am always a little sad when I see an Erithian using regular weapons and somewhat ignorant of erithian culture.

You see Lady Delilahrae the Challenger.
She appears to be a Half-Sylvan.
She is very tall and appears to be very young. She has almond-shaped jade green eyes and lily white skin. She has waist length, ringleted bright red hair. She has a dainty face, a classical nose and dimpled cheeks.
She has a shooting star tattoo on her ankle, a forest green ivy vine tattoo sprouting jam-splattered pure white roses on her leg, a tiny indigo hummingbird tattoo on her thigh, a moon and stars tattoo on her wrist, and a smooth obsidian stud inlaid with a mother-of-pearl triskelion in her right nostril.
She has old battle scars on her right arm.
She is holding a heart-shaped ruby red mirror in her right hand.

Unfortunately, I'm not in on the whole Albatross burlesque thing, but Strata at least gets to dress up a bit.
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 full circle halo of marabou feathers. 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 brilliant black diamond stud earrings, a cropped black velvet jacket with a narrow raised collar, a sleek-lined conical corset of mirror-polished green kelyn panels, a coraesine ring-of-flames solitude band, a front-split overskirt of fanning black peacock tailfeathers extending behind into a brief train, a full midnight-hued skirt of smoothly draped satin, and some vampless black leather ankle-boots.

Dressed for the Albatross.
You see Niara Veynithe Nalfein the Priestess.
She appears to be an Elf.
She is petite and appears to be in the bloom of youth. She has subtly canted, pallid grey eyes and faultless, porcelain white skin. She has very long, pale ash-blonde hair that falls to her thighs in a lush curtain of soft, bouncy curls. She has a dainty face, a straight nose and tiny ears that curve to delicate crescent points. A teardrop despanal incised with a rose silhouette is positioned between her eyes, which casts a sparkling aureate sheen across her face.
She has a tattoo of silvered ebon hooks tied with stygian ribbons on her back.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a rose-carved obsidian collar, a night-hued silky puma fur stole, a despanal-hued silk gown with a deeply cowled neckline and a matching backless drape, a cascading bracelet of thin gold filigree chains, a slim vaalin engagement ring, and some gold samite calf-tied sandals laced with filamentous netting
Forehead gem:
The small teardrop shape is red as blood, with a sanguine heart at its center. Upon its surface is incised a thornless rose, which rests over the darkest core of the stone. Striations of gold radiate out from the flower, forming a filamentous aureate veining.
Collar:
The collar has been meticulously carved of semi-translucent obsidian with intricate etchings of dainty roses in various stages of bloom trailing across its surface. A fully bloomed rose makes up the center, with the etched blossoms on either side gradually forming more closed-petal designs. One perfectly carved bloodstone rosebud forms the clasp at the center back. Dozens of thorn-like spikes protrude from inside the collar, their tips faintly stained with dark flakes.
Tattoo:
Sharp barbed hooks are drawn in highly detailed calligraphy upon her back, their wicked tips appearing to be imbedded within the tender flesh. Wide stygian ribbons are strung through the open, eyelet-like ends and are threaded in a criss-cross pattern up her spine. A small bow is depicted as being tied off below the shoulder blades, the surrounding ink giving the illusion that the skin has been cruelly corseted and tied off.
