MAYASWEEN COSTUME CONTEST

brought to you by Tow





Vixen, the Mayasween Sentinel Witch

Tattered black robes cover Vixen, the Mayasween Sentinel Witch. Her rough skin is covered with a green paste, and fake warts have been added in strategic places. Her build, normally athletic and wild, is now stooped and hag-like. She even has a very, very long fake nose with which to sneeze upon Aztecia. Upon her tattered robes of midnight black, she bears a worn patch, the embroidery of which vaguely resembles a fat seagull sitting on the shoulder of a sentinel maid. She of course is wearing a pointy black hat.

Child of Kastalia, Ravien Vas'amaen-Legacy

She is a beautiful Siren and is a truly stunning creature. Her usually dark hair has been made to look the exact opposite, gleaming almost as pure as the snow it has been adapted to white. Glitter has been carefully sprinkled onto this siren’s head to give it that wet look. To match her costume, the exposed skin on her body has been painted a sparkly shade of pale blue to give it that Kastalia feel, recreating the effect of water shining in the sunlight. Small crystals to match the Mayasween costume she adorns are carefully applied to her face. Although the striking green of her eyes cannot be hidden to match her dear Lady Kastalia, carefully applied eyeliner is used to make them darker around the outer edges. Her lips, which are a natural reddish hue, have also been painted, but in a slightly darker shade of blue. She is wearing exotic, blue crystal slippers, an anklet of interlocking feathers, a blossoming emerald and ivy ring, a black belt with a blue stone buckle, a navelring with a suspended platinum siren through her navel, a gold wedding ring set with garnet and jade, a nipplering with a suspended platinum siren through her right nipple, a dangly amethyst heart and sapphire earring through her left ear, a small, tanned leather pouch, a delicate iris, a fur-lined backpack, a Kastalia costume, perfectly applied dark blue mascara, mesmerizing sparkly blue eyeshadow, and striking black eyeliner.

Ravien proudly shows off a Kastalia costume:
A bit of glitter and flashy fabric makes this costume of the Goddess Kastalia a true masterpiece! A tight-fitting jumpsuit with tiny embedded crystals upon it is made to tint the wearer's skin pale blue when worn. A matching pair of shoes and gloves aid in this endeavour while a tiny pot of shimmering cerulean paint is provided for the face. Sleekly gripping the body is a layer of brilliant azure robes that Daddy Neraeos finds a bit skimpy! Finishing off this costume of Kastalia, Goddess of Lakes and Rivers is an ivory lily made of silk, and a smooth cane used to 'thwap' insolent mortals.

Ravien proudly shows off a kite shield bearing the Divine Order arms of Kastalia:This long kite-shaped shield is curved slightly at the top, and tapers to a point at the bottom. Ideal for heavily armoured cavalry, it also doubles as a fine footmans shield.
It bears the Divine Order arms of Kastalia: Azure, a lily Argent and three estoiles in chief Or.

Ravien thwaps you with her spear come can.

Tohran

He is a winged Atavian and is somehow different from the other Atavians. As you look into his pale grey eyes you see the full moon shining back at you instead of yourself. A scar in the shape of the waxing crescent of the moon runs over his right eye, obviously a reminder of a battle long past. His shoulder length faded brown hair is messy and tangled, like a wolf’s pelt. His wings are a pale silver, the colour of moonlight shining upon the water. The palms of his hands are thickly skinned and his fingernails look more like claws. As you continue to look him over you hear a faint growling coming from him, as though your mere presence annoys him. You look back into his eyes and the growling stops as suddenly as it began, and you wonder to yourself, "What happened to him for him to become this way?" He is wearing a Lupus costume, a grey fur tunic with wolf-eared hood, chaps-style leggings of grey wolf skin, a wolfskin cloak, a beautiful wolf mask, black trousers, and a warm hooded coat of grey wolf fur.

Tohran's mind fills with battle rage and Tohran screams, "Arroooooooooooooooooooo!"

Slightly Sluggy Hasun Wildsong

He is a human and is a foul a loathsome beast, clearly spawned from the insidious imagination of a truly and irrevocably deranged mind. You are assaulted first by the smell, then the absolute lack of colour coordination this beast possesses. A ramshackle collection bright green, purples, pinks and blues appears to be splattered over his slimy skin. His thick, slug-like body excretes a foul slime everywhere he slithers, staining the ground a multitude of colours as he passes leaving a clear marker of his passage. A swarm of hooked tentacles flail and quiver about menacingly, spraying pungent oils around the immediate area. On top of what you can only assume is his head massive, twisted eyestalks squirm to get free of the mass of tentacles. One eye lazily turns its gaze upon you and you hear a sickening sucking sound as it slowly blinks. The tentacles start to quiver more ferociously. It looks like this monstrosity is out for blood! Your blood!

Terror of Wool, Tow Lashyr-Windsong, Sentinel Wolf
Or
Horrifying HoN Tow Lashyr-Windsong Cub Stewer

You are surrounded by a shining corona of blinding light as your soul is transformed by metamorphosis.
You cast your eyes upwards towards the moon, as the howl of the Wolf rings in your ears.

He is a human and is yet somehow you doubt that. He looks more like a wolf upon closer inspection, but a wolf walking on his rear feet? You are drawn to his glacier blue eyes and you feel his gaze into the deepest of your soul. On his left cheek you notice three red ochre lines resembling a scar made by a large talon. His movements are confident and graceful in harmony with Nature. He moves swiftly as a young wild wolf. He flashes you a joyous and charming smile that makes you melt but somehow his shining fangs make you feel a bit uncomfortable. But the feeling fades as you are drown to his deep blue eyes again. But a little voice in the back of your head whispers: "Oh, cubmom, what big ears and eyes you have? What big paws and teeth you have?"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
He is wearing a black leather belt, a ring of Harmony, a brooch of Thoth, a Year 350 medallion, a canvas backpack, a brown cub's cap with big cubbie ears, a beautiful wolf mask, bound thick and shaggy silver-grey fur boots, a warm hooded coat of grey wolf fur, furred gloves with gleaming claws, and rugged trousers of black wolf skin.

He wields a blanket of soft rabbit fur in his right hand.

A beautiful wolf mask:
Staring with wide, intelligent eyes, this mask symbolises all of the natural beauty and wisdom of the wolf. Rendered in a beautiful pattern of silver and wood, this mask seems to exude power and strength. A wooden frame of oak supports the lighter, more delicate wood of the face itself, which is in turn layered with winding strands of silver thread. Light glints off of the white birch bark of the mask, which is carved intricately to resemble tiny strands of hair. A simple leather strip clasped with a steel buckle rests lightly behind the mask itself, allowing a variety of people to don it.
Embroidered on it are the words:
Inspired by Nature

Rugged trousers of black wolf skin:
These rugged trousers are constructed with excellence from the pelt of a black wolf, such as those that inhabit the forest of Northreach. It has been tanned on one side to softness and fashioned into trousers which fit snugly across the seat, but the legs are left a bit loose to allow ease of movement. The rich, silky black fur gleams softly as the wearer moves.

A black leather belt:
This belt was made from black shiny leather. The buckle resembles a wolves-head and its snout hooks into the head to close the belt up. The wolves-head has a latch with small metal teeth that hook into the black leather and can be used to adjust the length of the belt. This belt will fit all trousers with loops to weave it through.
Embroidered on it are the words:

Bound thick and shaggy silver-grey fur boots:
These boots were crafted from thick and shaggy silver-grey fur that has retained the glow of life. Designed to fit any foot as if sewn for it, the warmth and comfort of the boots are unsurpassed. The soft fur goes up to mid-shin, bound around the calf with a dark grey leather thong. The inner sole is padded with fleece, and the thick leather outer sole protects against any terrain. They are made to be durable to withstand the most active life-style, as well as being made to make a striking effect.

A wolf hair tunic:
This tunic is made from the winter fur shed by various kinds of wolves. The tunic stretches and fits every body like a second skin. In cold times it keeps the wearer nice and warm but the soft fur also is airy so it can be worn at all times, giving the perfect cover. Between the trees or in the high grasses on the plains this tunic is almost unnoticeable. Letting the wearer free in every movement like a swift young wolf.

A warm hooded coat of grey wolf fur:
The pelt of a large grey wolf has been tailored into a coat, with a hood made of the soft, furred, dark hide of the head. The wearer seems to be emerging from the wolf, a chin strap keeping the hood snugly framing the face. The bottom edge of the garment brushes the lower thigh. Providing the ultimate warmth, the lining is made of sheep fleece. Closing the front are blackened fang teeth, which contrast against the grey fur. Skilfully crafted the fit seems to match the individual.

Furred gloves with gleaming claws:
These gloves have been crafted from a supple leather, into forms resembling wolf paws. Coarse grey fur covers the leather gloves and when worn each of the wearer's fingers, if curled up slightly, takes on the appearance of a wolf's toe. To the end of each of the glove's fingers a sharp black claw has been fixed and polished to a dull sheen.

A brown cub's cap with big cubbie ears:
This brown felt cap has two large upright wolf-cub ears of leather. Securing the cap in place are string ties which are knotted under the chin. On the front is a golden patch with the embroidered likeness of a cub paw print.

Your mind fills with battle rage and you scream, "Getting a sudden urge to give cubs red hooded capes!!!"

You say, "Hello cub, how are you?"
Cub Tarja says, "Fine master tow, and yourself."
You say, "Doing well, but don't call me master."
You say, "And where were you going to?"
Cub Tarja says, "Off to Miinia to hunt imp."
You give a pained sigh.
You say, "Where is the time innocent cubs passed the woods to visit their grandma or something?"
You shake your head.
