Tribe Style

"The Tribe" had a very unique style. Actually that was one of the best bits, seeing what the characters would come up with when it came to shoes, outfits, hairstyles & colors, and makeup.

That's where television made life interesting. Do you know how hard it is to create, describe and visualize the kind of detail "The Tribe" could do instantly with one photo-clip?

But our players do the best they can, and we try to reinforce each other's descriptive creativity where we can.

Details that come instantly to mind...

  • Silver-blonde hair - as worn by Villa & Eris.
  • Chocolate brown eyes - how Tristan sees Cecily.
  • A green crescent moon tattoo - Jade's slave mark.
  • Full ninja dress - Zero's trademark.
  • An angel tattoo across his shoulders - more than one girl has noticed that about our resident rock star Vincent.
  • A missing eye - even if Hawk has recently started using a replacement.

These are just a few of the many details our players work on when it comes to character attributes. They also include manner of dress and choice of weapons. Things change up occasionally and that's fun too!

If we can't take pictures, we can certainly paint them with words.
