Physical Descriptions

[Also Airan]

Last contest I did portraits for all the top 10. I'm gonna try to do the same for this one. So now that the cast is all decided, if you'd like my portrayal of you to be how you imagine it, you can drop a physical description in this thread or send it to me through a PM if you'd rather. Whichever you prefer.

[Komi Banton]

I would love a portrait! You did some fantastic work in the previous contest, so I would be honored to have one.

Biggest detail I have for Komi is that since it's late winter, early spring, her coat is in the process of changing from white to brown.



Though as much white as seen here isn't necessary, it's just one of the reference photos I used during development. I rather like Vizon's depiction as well.

She probably wears pretty standard medieval tunic, not too flashy or bright, but maybe a little embroidery or something around the edges, since she was an entertainer. I'm flexible.

Once she's in the Crater though, who knows what she'd wear. She's fairly proficient in most weapons, though a spear is something she's used a lot and she's got a dagger (as mentioned in the app). Her instruments are a drum and a flute.

[Thrayjen]

Why, yes please!

Vizon pretty much nailed Thrayjen?s style in her icon piece for me. Thrayjen wears a jerkin and a faded shirt beneath that. Some simple breeches and, instead of boots, he wears footwraps. He wears a belt around his waist.
He?s wedge shaped, if that helps. Broad shoulders and chest taper to a narrow waist and lithe legs. He?s tall for a rat, built well, stands up with straight posture, and his features are rather angular. His fur is dark grey, while his eyes have dark patches around them and his chin has a spot of white. He has scars, especially on the left side of his face where a scar goes over his muzzle and across his cheek.

Thanks so much! It's very swell of you to do this for us.

[Aldridge Moor]

Oh, lovely! Yes please, I would like one very much.

I hadn't considered Komi's point - of course, the season means Aldridge too will be super blotchy brown and white.

Let's go with half a head taller than Komi, quite wiry but with strong arms. Usual clothing - dark grey pants and a light grey short-haired shirt. If you're planning to include his bow then it's fairly dark wood, a paw-width taller than him, and has a dark red handle.

Very many thanks! :)

[Kentrith Hapley]

Oh, that would be wonderful! Thank you!

Kentrith's coat is thinner than most foxes, mostly ginger, with a black tipped tail rather than white. He is missing half of his left ear, has claw marks on his muzzle, and numerous scars on his arms and paws.

So, yeah.

And no clothes. Got it! Though I never really took Ken to be a nudist.

Joking aside, thanks for getting these all in everyone. Just need the other half of you to do it now and I can get to work :)

[Adeen Pinebarrow]

Thank you for undertaking this project.

For the coloration. Most of her equipment and physical build are detailed in my first post. I will paste the relevant lines below.

"What was once the sturdy form of a mother and tradesbeast was now a knotted vole imprisoned too long."

And

"Adeen?s rugged vest and bandolier of scrolls hung loose after she put them on. In small comfort, the side satchel of etching and writing equipment was all accounted for, and her coal black cloak swallowed her whole. Golden vines and poppy flowers stitched along the hems of the leather and linen garments."

[Minerva]

Oops, I should probably type this out for you. Been meaning to, but it's just been slipping my mind. Apologies.

Minerva looks like a typical otterwife- though her rougher mannerisms, scars on her paws and arms and the often dark look in her eyes betrays her as a warrior. Because she's a farmer with the knowledge that she's bound to get dirty, her clothing is rather simple. Nothing ornate, just simple dresses and long tunics usually. Surprisingly her attire is relatively well kept, and that's mostly because she's decent at sewing and mends it whenever it tears. The hook is around her neck on a cord most of the time.

[Silas Hetherton]

Here is the physical part of my description for Silas. Sorry it's not terribly interesting. He doesn't have scars, tattoos, or deformities or much of anything to distinguish himself from others (yet). I wanted him to stand out more for who he was rather than his appearance or species.

Nondescript brown rat. Older (42). Nothing special in regards to looks. Lean, but strong from a life of hard labor. Wears really basic farmer attire that is more rags than clothes, as he is impoverished. Later on in the arena he may find better clothes. Nire probably doesn?t want his gladiators to look overly shabby, after all.
The rat at the top here is a good photo for appearance: http://www.discoverwildlife.com/british-wildlife/how-tell-difference-between-brown-rat-and-water-vole
I suppose he is balding a little behind the ears, but it?s not real obvious. A little scruffy.
Depending on the timing, he could be missing his whiskers (directly after the app) or have dark circles under his eyes from lack of sleep (after his journey to Northvale).
