Creating Your Character's Appearance and Gear
Part of playing a character is LOOKING like the character. If I want to play a tall, graceful elf my less than tall self has a couple of options. I can can dress the part, including high heels or platforms to give me the extra height (but who really wants to wear platform boots in battle on uneven ground!), go around telling everyone "out of character, you see a tall, graceful elf" (annoying!) or maybe except that I'm a pretty average sized elf and just dress to the hilt for the graceful with flowing robes, maybe a wig if I feel like messing with it, and plenty of shiny jewelry.
Most cultures have required items, and on that you layer things that your character would like or use, or that are a functional part of their class. Below are some "look books" to try and help you find the right look for your character. You don't have to stick with our interpretation, and tennis shoes are just fine in terms of footwear, but please do you best to find clothes that might work at your next trip to the Renaissance Festival.
Your REQUIRED prosthetics are listed and linked on the Cultures Pages.

Please note: bone decorations are NOT worn in game (very taboo for all cultures), while furs and feathers without skulls or bones are acceptable (along with wood, metal, plant based items, etc) Also, while the terms "druid" and "shaman" may apply to various out of character cultures, you will be asked to change if you are not a bipoc and are wearing an indigenous outfit. Celtic and other European cultural dress is fair game for everyone as those traditions have been used relentlessly out of context by their own cultures. It is preferred if you make your own designs and styles instead of relying on out of character traditions!
