I have a friend IRL, and we can't even say what color her hair is, because it may have changed from yesterday. She's had every real color, pinks, turquoise, lavender, etc.

Nice. I haven't seen my real color in 20+ years. And my hair is to long to grow it out and find out. LOL

I had an uncle with what is known as "early Irish white," and so I started getting them at 19, so I have to fix those. (Redheads really don't do well with other colors, so I just cover. Aging Irish Setter isn't a good look.)

What about chest bindings? Or falsies? I mean, c'mon! And makeup can change your skin tone -- or fur dye, for the furries among us. ^.~

I think did the ultimate RP about chest binding last year. I laughed so hard I cried. And yes, you're right, there are many ways to alter a character's appearance while still being the same character.

This is just to make things really clear with folks so no one ends up feeling "burned and misused," so to speak. I want players, especially the new ones, to feel safe, and to know that both sides of he event are operating in good faith. That's all, really.

I vaguely recall that hilarity ensued, but that's it. Hm, I might still have a link to the thread....shifty eyes

I had a natural reddish blonde tint when I was younger (Irish side of family). And KNOWING everything at 12 years old, I bought a bottle of that Sun-in spray stuff for hair. You spray it in hair before going in the sun OR use a hair dryer on it...works same way (yea that sounds safe). So squirt squirt squirt...And before you know it I have bright orange streaks in my light reddish blonde hair. And since my hair goes to my butt there is no hiding that. SO a bottle of Loreal hair dye was brought out and my hair was dyed. And since there was no close shade and growing out always was to much an issue...bottle of hair dye here I always am. So I am blonde...BUT with a natural something else. LOL Think it is a reddish brown now.

Just stick on a mustache and beard or a skirt and character is changed. LOL

, : Dressing as the opposite sex isn't all that easy...especially on the psyche. Poor little Kitcher was pregnant and starting to 'show' and she had to dress in a Nancy-Boy disguise. She had to use gaffer's tape to bind her blossoming bosom and she threw what amounted to a fit of righteous indignation.

Quote

&quot;Donner, I love you and I could stay in that bed with you forever, but we have a job to do and I already hate it. I just want it to be over.&quot;</p>
<p>Donner reluctantly threw back the covers and dragged himself out of bed over to Kitcher. He took her up in his arms, held her close and leaned in for a smooch.</p>
<p>&quot;Stop it Donner! Put me down!&quot; She turned away from him and reached into the closet for a set of clothes on hangers wrapped in filmy plastic marked with her name. &quot;It seems that somebody has sent costumes over for us to wear. We&;re supposed to be &quot;Nancy Boys,&quot; rabid fans of some performer named Nancy. Whatever.&quot; She unwrapped the clothes, removed the shirt and flung it down on the bed, &quot;That means I have to look like a boy.&quot; She cupped her breasts in her paws, turned angrily and fumed, &quot;How the heck am I supposed to deal with these?&quot;</p>
<p>Donner stared at her stupidly. He licked his lips and quipped, &quot;Um…you could always use some duct tape and tape them down flat.&quot; He laughed.</p>
<p>Kitcher punched him hard in the solar plexus, &quot;Knock it off Donner. There is no way in heck I&;m going to let you or anybody else do something that hideous to me. I hate this! I don&;t want to look like a boy! Boys are stinky, stupid and gross.&quot; She was really cross but she became even more cross when she found the bag with the fake beard and the duct tape for her chest. &quot;Damnit Donner! How did you know?&quot;</p>
<p>It didn&;t take Donner that long to dress, whoever sent the clothes got his size just right and he liked the black and white stripes. In the bag that came with his clothes he found eye shadow, a razor and a fake goatee which he put on with glee, &quot;This ist the best costume ve have had yet!&quot; he exclaimed as he looked in the mirror. He picked up the cane that had been supplied and gave it a twirl. It slipped from his paw, hit a lamp and knocked it off the dresser. Still, he primped and preened in front of the mirror and made goofy faces at himself as if he were talking to a stranger, &quot;Ist you lookink at me? Vell I am dee only von here…vell, except for Kitcher over der, ya ya?&quot;</p>
<p>Kitcher on the other paw not only hated her outfit, but she was horrified at the strange androgynous visage in the mirror. She started to cry, stomped her foot, stuck out her tongue and flicked her tail at her reflection, &quot;Stop fooling around Donner, we need to go now!&quot;

Yeah, that was about as melted as little Kitcher got. It didn't help that she had to put up with a lot of Donner's foolishness...silly weasel.

Oh man, I know what you mean. I hate hair salons, but the salt and cayenne hair look was pretty nasty, so I was thrilled when It finally went all gray and white. Now if it would only stop breaking and falling out....

I'm still confused about the whole "reluctant" status

Quote by greenrowan
6) Consider your character&;s background. You&;ve got three options to choose: Seelie, Firelit, or Borderfolk:</p>
<p>Seelie characters are members of the Faerie Realm. If you have a &quot;classic&quot; character, they come from here.</p>
<p>Firelit characters drifted in on some sort of spacecraft, with Tranquility class ships the default choice.</p>
<p>Borderfolk live in a zone caught between the world of Faerie and the roar of space engines. They&;ve learned to survive in odd ways, but they have survived.</p>
<p>Select what strikes your fancy, and fit it to the character you create. Then let that character adapt to all the situations of the three elements.

I take it that this "reluctant" status is only for those people who don't have an established character yet? :)

Also, can the Faeries give our RP characters special gifts/abilities/transformations (same goes for any other NPC/RP location in the RP)?

Are we talking about dyed hair because that is SO RELEVANT TO MY INTERESTS.

Also I can't imagine how terrible it must have been to get that duct tape off of fur!! Ouch. Ace bandages aren't any better because they are hard to wrap and screw up your breathing. Shame on the costume department for not sending that poor girl a proper chest binder.

: No loss of fur, but poor Kitcher smelled like Orange Goo-Gone for days...Donner thought it was a new fruity perfume from Reedly.

No, that status is for veteran players experiencing some difficulties, yet were wanted by their teams, and wanted to be there themselves. It was arranged as a personal exchange among the player, the team, and me. It does not affect other players in any way. The quote you've included doesn't relate to it at all---apples and oranges.

As to your second question, the short answer is "no," and the long answer is le sigh---no!

Yes, hair may be dyed. Please don't change genders or undergo plastic surgery without telling me, but cosmetics exist for a reason.

Hilarious as always, but is giving you a run for your money!

Just the thought of duct tape on skin makes me flinch. :D

so with Raven's hair colour it shifts from dark blue-purple, to purple and blackish depending on lighting--hence her name because Raven feathers do this. I shall be sticking to this largely--should I mention the colours to the judges in the intro?

There's no need for that. My judges are a lot more savvy than that, and they're actually working WITH the players of the event and not against them behind the scenes. That's pretty much what I wanted to clarify, because I think it's uber-important in something like this.
