Dress to Impress

The Fiction:

Even amongst the modern Galaxy, there are traces of everyone's unique heritage in the way they dress, style, and hold themselves. Whether it be in items that are family, clan, or species-unique, everyone brings something unique to the table in every interaction. The sterile hallways of Imperial Cruisers wherein everyone dresses the same do not bear the same feeling of life as the chaotic streets and markets, filled with vibrant lights, colors, and sounds of different clashing cultures. These are the things we celebrate this month, the resilience of this chaos, the resilience of people, and the color, of life.

The Competition:

Showcase your character wearing items, clothing, jewelry, and/or hairstyling, unique to their culture. For this particular competition Tattoos alone will not be a sufficient item for grading, as they are the focus of "The Body is a Temple".

Description is in photo. Art is original by me, of Severin Xand, my Kessurian-Echani hybrid.

The Kessurian tribes of Cadannia are warrior-like and draw a lot of inspiration from the Norse and Polynesian peoples.

Textual submission

Even a rugged mercenary like Tomora once grew his Bothan mane long and styled it with multiple braids and knots, as many of his kin would do.

I have no idea what Zeltron culture is like, but Appius and I have a running joke that Erinyes is Scottish, so you're getting a kilt and a basket-hilted broadsword.
