When I first started playing, every pretty item that came off a hob found its way into my character's wardrobe. She looked like a refugee from Value Village.
Life became even scarier when I found the delights of the Dyer's Tent. I was a glittering golden horror. Of course, I realize that now, but once upon a time, I was more intent on having pretty items in a color theme, before I started realizing that Aerie was wearing about 100 pounds of scarves, kerchiefs, pins, necklaces, and whatever else I could find.
It took a friend remarking that she looked like a golden mummy to make me rethink my character's wardrobe. The fact that Aerie's hunting RT was around 10 seconds without any boxes or coins and the 100 pounds of junk she was wearing had a correlation was news to me. I really started looking at what other people were wearing. Some go in for the bloodstained look. Others are austere and wear little more than a cloak and armor. Wizards are often distinguished by the black robes and pointy hats. The ones that I liked the most had an elegant theme, that looked good together, and didn't overwhelm me with a scroll. One lady I looked at was about 25 lines or so of filigreed items.
I finally came to my senses, and settled down with an image in my mind of what all of this junk would look like on a person. A third of it went down the well. The other third was given away. I found she actually had an ambushing RT of 5.
Today, my look is on the sultry, ultra feminine side. I've also had outfits of black leather and the Xena chainmail skirt and bodice look as well.
You see Lady Aerienne Woodlake the Sylvankind.
She appears to be in her 70's, has shoulder length, curly golden blond hair, green eyes, and fair skin.
She has a tattoo of a delicate jewel-toned wild orchid with glistening petals and gold-accented emerald green leaves twining around her thigh, and a long blond ponytail.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a charming jewelled flower circlet, a burnished copper rose, a tiny diamond heart earring, a glowing amulet, a slender jewelled vine armlet, a shimmering jewelled silk cloak, a fitted elegant silver breastplate, a magnificent set of white wings, a fluffy jewel-collared kitten charm, a fitted emerald silk bodice clasped with a gleaming diamond heart, a slim waistchain of interwoven gold and silver strands adorned with tiny jewelled bells, an etched silver trinket case, a sparkling diamond-dusted sack, a sleek skirt layered with emerald silk veils delicately edged in jewels, an emerald green thigh-sheath, an anklet of tiny golden bells, and some petite backless slippers with tiny glass heels.
What look are you going for with your character? Do you have a color scheme? And do you change the theme occasionally?
