Announce Post #3238: Feature Curios

Autoposter

A new set of curios called Feature Curios is now available on the website. Feature curios is a broad term for existing hair and beard curios, and the new beauty and blemish curios. Like hair/beard curios, beauty curios offer a bonus to prestige (you can stack hair/beard and a beauty curio), and blemish curios significantly lower prestige for charity influence battles. The new curios lack distinct colour characteristics to help match up with individual styles easier.

Please see HELP FEATURE CURIOS for more information, and their respective helpfiles - HELP BEAUTY CURIOS and HELP BLEMISH CURIOS - for a list of the new curios.

Beauty Curios

appearance: expressive eyebrows

examined: Though they curve slightly inwards where their ends are the thickest, these eyebrows are relatively straight. Their untamed lushness creates thick lines that lends themselves to expressive displays of emotion, be it joy, sadness, or a look of pure puzzlement.

look: Intriguing in their thickness, a pair of highly expressive eyebrows frames HIS face.

appearance: charming freckles

examined: Appearing as faint spots over both cheeks and across the nose, these freckles have a charming appeal. They collect in clusters like stars in the night sky, denser nearer to the convexities of the face and accentuating contours with their mottled hue.

look: Clustered like stars, a scatter of charming freckles spreads across HIS cheeks and nose.

appearance: upper torso freckles

examined: Apparent of a life lived beneath the sun, a series of freckles can be seen along the shoulders and neck. Barely darker than the flesh they reside upon, they are as numerous and grouped as raindrops that have fallen to darken stone.

look: Freckles stretch across the visible portion of HIS upper torso, falling along HIS shoulders and neck endearingly.

appearance: drawn-on eyebrows

examined: With the skin beneath free of any hair to compete with them, elegant and precise brushwork has been applied to manufacture a pair of eyebrows. Though free of stray hairs or imperfections, their incredibly high arch lends to a constant air of judgement and overexpression.

look: In absence of hair, a pair of eyebrows have been drawn on above HIS eyes, arched perhaps a tad too excessively.

appearance: underlip beauty mark

examined: Little more than a dot that rests beneath the lower right corner of the lip, this patch of darkened skin stands out prominently. Perfectly rounded, it bears no hair or bulge that might cause it to appear unseemly, instead serving to accentuate graceful smiles and laughs.

look: A small dark mark can be seen beneath HIS bottom lip, accentuating every movement of HIS mouth.

appearance: wiry eyebrows

examined: So bushy as to barely leave room to see anything from beneath them, these sweeping eyebrows offer a pensive look with their very appearance. It is unclear if what makes them up is actual hair or something else altogether as the hairs are wiry enough to pass for tiny twigs.

look: Wiry eyebrows sweep across HIS forehead, providing a bush canopy for HIS gaze.

appearance: an eye beauty mark

examined: A perfectly round dot sits right next to the eye, its colouring making it stand out against the rest of the face with its contrast. It draws the gaze, curious little beauty mark that it is, unblemished by hair or other imperfections.

look: A lovely beauty mark draws attention, sitting right next to HIS eye.

appearance: a tiny eyebrow scar

examined: A small, well-healed scar cuts through the eyebrow at an angle, peeking no further than the eyebrow itself. As nothing can hide that particular spot, the resulting effect is nonchallant and lends an air of unfettered swagger.

look: A tiny scar cuts through HIS eyebrow, lending HIM an air of charming nonchalance.

appearance: a tiny lip scar

examined: What was once barely more than a nick, is now a tiny scar that sits flush atop the upper lip. Healed as it is, it is a barely visible imperfection that, rather than disfigure, gives the lips a beguiling allure.

look: Cutting through HIS cupid's bow, a tiny scar marks the lip.

appearance: a smattering of scales

examined: Starting from the sides of the brow and trailing around the eye socket all the way to the cheekbones, a smattering of scales adorns the face. Their lustrous surfaces catch the light with any movement, illuminating the features with a gentle glow.

look: Their mirror-like surfaces catching the light, a smattering of scales trails down from the sides of HIS brow to the cheekbones.

appearance: precisely rectangular eyebrows

examined: These eyebrows have been precisely trimmed to form two identical rectangles, creating a pair of eyebrows as solid as they are opaque. Depending on the angle, they can create a series of perplexing and unbelievable expressions.

look: Perfect rectangles of hair sit upon HIS forehead, the eyebrows offering a severe yet comical expression.

appearance: a set of face gems

examined: Arranged in an artful and circular pattern, these gems have been delicately applied to the face. Each gem has been placed to form a pattern to accentuate even the most angular of features.

look: Delicately adhered to the face in an artful circular pattern, a series of gems have been placed against HIS face.

appearance: a gentle chin dimple

examined: Sitting perfectly in the middle of the chin, the dimple is a gentle indent that gives definition to the facial features. Though it scarcely draws attention to itself, it lends the face a regal air.

look: Creating a gentle indent on the chin, a gentle dimple accentuates HIS face, crafting a dignified visage.

appearance: perfectly sculpted eyebrows

examined: With nary a hair out of place, both in placement and direction, these eyebrows form perfectly sculpted arches. With their sleek appearance, they lend the face an aristocratic and superior air.

look: Flawless in every way, HIS eyebrows form perfect arches over HIS eyes.

appearance: a pair of youthful cheek dimples

examined: A simple indent on each side of the face, these youthful cheek indents offer an air of innocence to the features. With dimples like these, any smile morphs into one of pure joy.

look: Lending HIS face a youthful aura, HIS cheek dimples craft a look of innocence.

appearance: a single distinct eyebrow

examined: Neither overly bushy, nor too thin, a singular eyebrow sits upon the brow. Distinct for its unusual length and volume, the eyebrow provides an intriguing frame to the face.

look: Uniformly straight and quite voluminous, a singular eyebrow marks HIS forehead.

Blemish Curios

appearance: bestial scar

examined: Three harsh lines run across the face from the bottom corner of the eye to the outer jaw, reminiscent of a bestial attack by some large creature's claws. Though healed, the unsightly sight of mottled, knotted flesh is several shades too light and appears duller than the skin surrounding it.

look: Three harsh lines have been raked across HIS face, the lasting mark of some ferocious combat with a great beast.

appearance: pustules

examined: The foul scent of fermented pus rises from the pustules which rise like molehills along the flesh, worst around the forearms and the back of the hand. Though some are stony and crack with movement, the largest and most appalling yet weep yellowish liquid from the thin, porous abscess attempting to contain it.

look: Bubbled up across HIS skin are manifold pustules, a nauseating scent emerging from the liquid they secrete.

appearance: calcified cracks

examined: Like a tracework of foreign blood, veins of foreign material can be seen stretching through crystal flesh and forcing it apart to allow spurs of discoloured crystal to jut through the surface. Cracks have splintered out from these expulsions in a painful spiderweb, occasionally loosing a loud crack with overexerted movement.

look: Canyons of cracks have spread across HIS flesh, rising from spires of calcified mineral emerging from within.

appearance: scalerot

examined: Cracked as though they were made of naught more than brittle clay, it is obvious that scalerot has spread across the manifold scales which cover the skin. Discoloured to a gross, milky white, jagged points can be seen bent outwards where the desperate need for release has caused them to tear and snap by outside pressure.

look: A grotesque, milky-white scalerot streaks across HIS scales, cracking those unfortunate enough to be in its path.

appearance: mange

examined: Obvious even to the untrained eye due to the sight of skin visible amid the surrounding hair, a terrible case of mange can be seen afflicting the skin. Though hair grows normally surrounding it, the flesh here is raw and swollen, irritated to the point of discolouration.

look: Patches of angry, raw, reddish skin can be seen throughout HIS hair, allowing none to grow there.

appearance: torturous scar

examined: A harsh series of crosses and puckered stars has caused the flesh beneath them to warp and deform, healed as best it can. Whatever torturous implements inflicted them can only be guessed at, though their efficacy cannot be doubted with the weeping scabs which yet mar the flesh that bore their attention.

look: Cruelly etched into HIS skin are the lasting wounds of some unspeakable torture, the scars left unable to heal properly.

appearance: a facial bark scar

examined: Jagged and with numerous cracks spreading outwards like a spiderweb, a scar cuts through the bark upon the cheek. Though the bark around it has since healed as well as it could, the scar is still unsightly and stands out against the texture of remaining bark.

look: A jagged scar cuts through the bark on HIS cheek, cracks spreading outwards like a spiderweb.

appearance: a series of burns with irregular edges

examined: A single large burn sits centered, surrounded by a series of smaller, irregular burns. Each burn resembles a splash of liquid, the remains of scalding fluid long healed over in gnarly knots of scarred flesh.

look: Irregular in both size and shape, a collection of gnarled knots of healed flesh cover HIM, all that remains of liquid burns.

appearance: a burn scar resembling a hand print

examined: As though in the shape of a large hand print, this burn has long healed from the initial trauma. Ripples of healed flesh, uneven and discolored, splay out from the palm of the scar, spreading into each distinct finger.

look: In the shape of a large hand print, a long healed scar bearing the tell-tale tautness and discoloration of a burn splays against HIS body.
