Body art contest!

Written by: Storyteller Damiel, Pew Pew Pew

Hello there my lovely reprobates,

It's contest time!

Is there a type of temporary body art that is popular with your race or in your faction?

It could be traditional, cultural or a current fad. It doesn't matter if it's not something old and ingrained in cultural history (though it could be), so long as it's specifically relevant to your race. Maybe young Krona these days are painting their tusks with dayglo latex, or maybe there's an ancient tradition in Delphi that involves ritual blood smearing - those are arbitrary examples, but hopefully you get the idea.

Think what would come up if you entered "<my race/faction>"+"body art" into space google.

No physical things like jewelry, keepsakes or clothing, but things like paint, glitter, mud, blood, bindi, henna, temporary tattoos, makeup, fur dying, patterns, chitin etchings, tail dipping (okay yeah I see it shh), etc etc - get creative!

Extra info:

Players can only win once, but may submit multiple times. Only one winner per race will be chosen.

Even if you don't win, we may use any idea submitted in this contest and immortalize it in canon if we see fit to do so. Of course we will credit whoever created it in that case.

We look forward to reading all your entries!

Damiel and the admin team <3
