Competition: What If...GRAPHIC

Finished
What If...GRAPHIC

Our life experiences help dictate the way we look. But What If...those experiences never happened? That is what this competition will explore.

What If an important event in your character's life never happened, or happened differently. How would that alter their appearance? Their fashion choices?

For this competition create an image of your character/alt/npc which holds a stark contrast to how they are currently presented.

Please, either in the file title or in the text box on the site state the What If...question used. For example, What If Rhylance was not allowed entrance into the Shadow Academy at a young age?

How to Submit: Through the site.

What if Qyreia hadn't kept her singing private?
Well, likely she would have started up a band and taken the role of lead singer. Given her dispensation toward swift kicks to the gonads, a band name of *One Kick Girl* seemed appropriate.

What if my mother was still alive

Curiosity burning Aay'han turns to old methods to see what could have been. Young and childlike she seeks a Seer to show her what could have been.

The Seer deals the cards out in a three card spread from left to right indicating past, present and future.

Past: 2 of swords - Internal choices, stalemate and imaprtiality. A hindered passage with the inability to see what is happening. Swords representing objectivity and impartiality. The woman's crossed arms symbolising truce and waxing moon, new beginnings.

Present: 7 Pentacles - Assesments, Rewards and Payoff. A curiosity if the work is actually worth the payoff she will recieve a man resting after tending his crops.

Future: King of Wands - entrepreneurial, visionary, authentic leader. Infinity and fire symbolised here. The ability to recreate oneself as well as a passion for prestige and the power of life.

By the end she is uncertain if her mother would have been a help or a hindering force within her life, her feelings swim as she leaves the low lit room and does not look back. She ponders these cards and decides to take her time to sigest the information.

(A. N. cards were drawn at random after deck was shuffled)
