I finally, finally have caved in. I've seen a few larp steampunk posts floating around and I'd like to post my Changeling larp character.. She was a disgruntled(aren't they all?) Knocker, the mechanics and diyers of changeling. They can literally build anything and are quite McGuyveresque. (We created a catapult to launch flaming chairs and

Wow, Forever 21? *puts that on the list*

Your outfits are very nice: they're simple, they have a nice look, and they are *gasp* PRACTICAL. It doesn't hurt that you are gorgeous, either.

Also: secret villains unite! I love getting that role.

Well, the vest I bought a year ago and it's this really soft black/brown vegi leather.. so soft...

but, check forever 21 out pretty often. they tend to have neat necklaces, tights, armwarmers and vests.. sometimes a few other slightly steamy things.

I completely agree. I've been made fun of for shopping there, but I swear by their overlooked steaminess.

Lovely goggles by the way :)

Great outfit - I like the waistcoat especially.

Although:
A hindu/british mage who masquerades as a worshipper of Brahman but truly worships Kali and works for the bad guys

You really should look into your mythology a little more deeply. Kali's not an evil deity...unless you get all your mythological information from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. She's a complex and fascinating goddess and will reward your research amply should you decide to look into it.

[shinigamu]

Haha, I've done a world of research. Kali isn't quite evil but she is a goddess of some not-so-good things sometimes. She is generally represented as a dark, violent but yet benevolent being though. My character believes that she's doing Kali's will by aiding the Inconnu(bad guys) by helping bring about the worlds destruction, thus purging it of it's sin and allowing it to start anew, taint free.

Does that make alittle more sense? (Most people who aren't well versed in hindu myth also believe Kali is evil, which is why you have to make it seem like you worship a more benevolent diety)

[morgan303]

Makes much more sense, and good on you for doing your research. You would get to do some nifty time magic with Kali as a patron, no doubt. :)

And absolutely Indy movies are fantastic. Just very...American in their approach to other cultures.:)

[shinigamu]

Btw, I'm sorry if that seemed like a blanket statement.. bad guys = evil = Kali, since that is not quite the case at all.

However, You must admit that the Indiana Jones movies are damn fun. :P

Wow. Long, and smooth! How did you get it so smooth? My hair is about that length and it's always a mass of flyaways. :)

I like your outfits.

[shinigamu]

Haha, thanks. I straight my iron with a hot iron(not an actual iron, if you know what I mean) and then use bedhead(http://www.strawberrynet.com/productDetail.aspx?ProdId=50176®ion=US&src_affiliate=4461&goChar=T)

which happens to work pretty damn well.

[rdhdsnippet]

Oh, ceramic irons rock my long-haired world. I should think to pull mine out more often!

[faerydragonet]

Now, You make me want to make my Acanthus Adamantine Arrow mage really happen.

[shinigamu]

I don't know what that is but.. do it, it sounds cool.

I always loved that icon, btw.

[faerydragonet]

It's from Mage: The Ascension. Acanthus is my believe, Adamantine Arrow is my organization so to say.

[gregordyne]

Mage the Awakening, you mean. Ascension is the older game.

I am in love with your makeup so sutil but so beautiful

[shinigamu]

Haha, thanks. I can't really take any credit for the makeup in the first picture which was done by a rather talented larp friend. Although the last picture as all my doing.
