Character Descriptions

Everybody needs one. If you're a changeling, you need two (mask/mien).

No, they can't just be a link to a picture.

You will not be approved without something which makes you reasonably identifiable. If you're not a fan of writing them, bare minimum required is to slap together something short with your age/gender/height/build/ethnicity/eye/hair color and clothes.

If you are a changeling, you are also required to include at least a brief description of your Mantle (if you have one).

NOTE: If you have the Striking Looks, Feral Mien, Gentrified Bearing or other related merits which rely upon your appearance/demeanor/aura to influence others' behavior, you MUST have a note in your @desc (and/or &faedesc) to show that they are there. Toss SL1/FM/GB in on a separate line with any descriptors necessary.

Commands:

@desc me=<mortal desc> - Mortals, this is the only description you ever need. Lucky you!

Changelings, this is your Mask. It may or may not be completely identical to what you were before you were Taken. Your Mask's build, however, is within a few shades of your Mien. (I.e., if you look like a starvation victim in your Mien, your Mask is also going to be scrawny, though it doesn't have to be THAT scrawny. A bulky muscled Ogre is not going to look like a delicate pencil pusher human.) Similarly, your height is within an inch or two of your Mien, up or down. If you are a 7'5" tall gangly Darkling, you are NOT going to be a 6' tall human.

If you are High Wyrd, please be sure to pick one or two "tells" that betray your fae nature. You're too strange for even the Mask to hide you entirely, unless you strengthen it. For example, a Snowskin might always have cold hands, no matter the weather, or a Cat Beast might have amber-green eyes even in his human Mask.

&faedesc me=<fae desc> - Mortals do not need these unless they are Fae-touched with the Seeming merit.

Changelings, this is where you describe your faerie weirdness. Please be thematic and check the Mien Guidelines page. Your Mien could change based on your Wyrd level, your Court, your Seeming, your Kiths, your Entitlement or any Merits you might have.
