CF Characters of TAW...

[Bushmaster78FS]

I can't help noticing, all the female posters have gorgeous characters with awesome fashion... Beautiful girls out here... :kiss: Guys all look like ... you know... heck.. :swoon:

[Dewi Sant]

What's wrong with realism :P

EDIT:

I do not dress in a Royal Guard's outfit ^_^

[Khaleas]

YOu might want to revise that... :P

[fuerein]

This is... you know... heck? Aw man... I tried giving my character more style than me... I'm normally in just a long-sleeve button-up shirt and a good pair of jeans/slacks (when I'm not home anyway). Speaking of which I need to buy new jeans. :(

[Dorothea]

:blush: Aww, thanks, bushmaster. I really look just like that in real life. ;) Welll....it's not toooo off. :D

And there are some handsome CF male characters on here. It's hard to tell with the mask on your character, bushmaster. ^_^

You look sharp, fuerein. :thumbsup:

[JustinHesychast]

I totally agree with BM.

I'd look all pretty too, but girls get all the good outfits both in real life and on CF. So... totally not fair. :P

[EmperorConstantine]

And to think that today I was told by about three girls that I have "pretty eyes"

[Dorothea]

:D :thumbsup:

[Philothei]

And to think that today I was told by about three girls that I have "pretty eyes"
Well, good for you :). I do not excatly look like my character.... but close enough by a few pounds. I think some of us are too used to everyone's character like example... Khaleas, and EC they are so characteristic of who they are. But I would not call all of us ladies "pretty" characters....just female...that is all.
Like Hechyhast said we are having more fun dresses....lol...

God bless,
Philothei

[Bushmaster78FS]

Drop the rod fuerein...

Jenn the Finn, just the face needs some work, the rest is goood...

[RobNJ]

Ahem!!

[Bushmaster78FS]

I am wearing the outfit I will wear in Narnia, I didn't get to do it :sigh: in this lifetime...

Will take the mask off after deployment, we are in combat now.

[VickiY]

What ~I~ want to know is...does RobNJ REALLY wear funky socks like that????

[Philothei]

lol... you will keep it on until then? cool.

I want to know why Khaleas likes the beard? And also why nutroll holds a fish?

God bless,
Philothei

[Bushmaster78FS]

I agree, nutroll is the most "nuts" one... :)

I am sure Jenn the Finn is beautiful also and that is not a beard, it is just a piece of fuzz from that sheep. She needs a stronger wind to clean the place up...

[ClementofRome]

I just had to now add some length to my beard.....it was pretty short a few months ago, and now it is coming along nicely!

Otherwise, I have short gray hair and have lost 50 pounds in the last year, yet I am not as skinny as my Character. I wear khaki pants and tee shirts most of the time, and am bare footed as often as possible!

:)

[SeraphimSarov]

I really do wear these old-school robes and carry around a censer.

[Khaleas]

My beard is a tribute to the awesomeness of beard that I don't get to have... ;)

This is what I look like in real life... the one on the right... The one on the left... umm, that would be my husband. ^_^ (with his prerequisite Panama DASH hat, DASH stands for DumbAss Stabbed Himself).

[Dewi Sant]

Fine then, I'm going to dress up....I'll still keep a camelhair shirt on though :P (let's not be decadent)

[Khaleas]

Nice underwear!!! :P

[RobNJ]

Nah, the pants, socks combo was the loudest attire I could find at the time (before the armory carried Hawaiian shirts) ^_^

[Dorothea]

Love your hair, dude. :thumbsup: :D

[Dewi Sant]

Nice underwear!!! :P

:D

I wish they had the option to show a changing booth when you're changing the clothes of your character.

Anyway, my character is now significantly dressed down...but still dressed up too. Sort of formal lounge wear.
:)

[Dorothea]

Fine then, I'm going to dress up....I'll still keep a camelhair shirt on though :P (let's not be decadent)
Nice, classy attire. :)

[nutroll]

I don't know why everyone thinks I look so weird. I'm just a bald guy washing his bicyle. The straw and the antidoron (which is clearly not a fish) were gifts that I received...

[Dorothea]

Cool. You do look pretty handsome in those robes. :D

[Dorothea]

But could it look more quintessentially studenty? ^_^

[Dorothea]

Me in my wedding dress back when I was young and before children. LOL Now, just picture me with glasses all the time, no more contacts, and add about 10 lbs to this. LOL I was 120 lbs there, I'm now 130 give or take a few. :P

http://pic15.picturetrail.com/VOL577/2409822/4756049/75368262.jpg

Back when hubby and I were engaged. Dec. 1996.

http://pic15.picturetrail.com/VOL577/2409822/8813482/120769567.jpg

Me and my oldest son a couple years ago after the Nemo on Ice show. I now have frameless glasses, if that's the right term. LOL

[Bushmaster78FS]

The one on the left... umm, that would be my husband. ^_^ (with his prerequisite Panama DASH hat, DASH stands for DumbAss Stabbed Himself).


Ugh, I am disappointed, your hubby doesn't look like anyone from the Navy crew of 1986 Paramount blockbuster...

[Dorothea]

But could it look more quintessentially studenty? ^_^
Well, the shield helps. :P

[Bushmaster78FS]

But could it look more quintessentially studenty? ^_^

You should dress like CS LEWIS... More scholarly...

[Tsarina]

I totally agree with BM.

I'd look all pretty too, but girls get all the good outfits both in real life and on CF. So... totally not fair.

Honestly, it's hard to find good clothes for girls in real life. However, on CF they're so many options for girls with their CF characters. Everytime i go to get something new for my character, theres like 6 more new outfits each time! :)

Oh, and the guys do have pretty cool stuff on CF.. like the beards! :P

[MamaBug]

In real life I look like a hobbit.

[Dewi Sant]

You should dress like CS LEWIS... More scholarly...

Believe me, at my uni that is a common sight.

Tweed and pipe tobacco is very much in at the moment.:)

Myself I've never tried pipe, and I would feel dreadfully rude (plus, I'm fairly sure it's a faux par) to borrow someone's pipe.


Actually you could divide my uni into three catagories of people.

1. Pagan/Folk persons. People who dress in traditional british (pre anglo-saxon conquest) costume...they are usually in the Pagan crowd...lovely people though, but NEVER call them English :D (especcially as the University is in Wales...plus, never, ever, say that Wales is a Principality...yes, it may technically be, but instant decapitation of one's foe is also technically against the law)

2. The Athletic crowd. I've never understood these people :P

3. The bohemians/scholarly fellows/romantics. I believe I fit in here, somewhere among all three, though there is little difference between a Romantic and a Bohemian, apart from maybe Le Fae Vert. We are the distinguished people who sit by the river having Cheese and Wine, and on those twilight summer e'ens, Gin and Tonic.


I can't wait to return as a 2nd year....though my student loan form has got stuck in the post and I need to return a signiture to a form I haven't yet received...but, though that is an annoyance and potentially awful, I prefer not to get stressed over such things. I'll give to the end of this week and if I don't get the form, I'll ring them up.


Myself however, I don't go anywhere without a ridiculously large umbrella, black italian shoes and an almost full length blue/black cashmere coat.
Really, a full length formal coat goes with anything. I often wear it with just casual jeans and t-shirt underneath though, I've got rather sick of jeans and t-shirts and I think it's time for me to move on.

[paleodoxy]

I look more like KjellBjarne in real life, minus the old robes and censer, of course! My hair appears black on my CF character, but it's actually dark brown...and I'm getting ready to fill out my beard again. I guess I should try and go find more brownish hair...

[Dewi Sant]

Try being a guy.

My wardrobe hasn't changed in over a year and the reason, I haven't seen anything I like!

Also, the men's department is so small in the shops.
Usually the men's dept is 1/3 or less the size of the women's, and thrice the price.

They claim the extra price is in quality....I claim otherwise.
But still, I've got plenty of clothes, I sort of enjoy not having to go to the shops to get more.


Ah, that reminds me.
I need to get a pair of leather boots and possibly a waterproof/mudproof coat.
In Winter, Lampeter can get exceedingly muddy.

[Shubunkin]

What? No one else dresses up Victorian and goes onstage??? How dreary!!! ^_^ :D :P

[fuerein]

In real life I look like a hobbit.
ewww.... woman with hairy feet!!!! :P ^_^

[Khaleas]

Ugh, I am disappointed, your hubby doesn't look like anyone from the Navy crew of 1986 Paramount blockbuster...

Does this look like anything coming out of said 1986 blockbuster???? :P
His ego is still writing checks his body can't cash...:swoon:

[-Kyriaki-]

<-- I look like this in reality, minus the sparkles on my hair :P Oh, and the antennae. I added them because they're what my mum and my sister seem to see on my head now that I've got into Orthodoxy!

I have a couple skirts like this...I make them, I need to make another one or two. So warm!

[Breaking Babylon]

I look nothing like my character really. You can check the TAW pics thread to get a better idea. I just love the whole quiet, prayerful look the character has going on. And the robe is awesome too.

[EmperorConstantine]

I actually look a little like my character.

[rusmeister]

You should dress like CS LEWIS... More scholarly...

Don't forget the pipe!

As far male character, nutroll wins wihout a doubt! I love all his outfits! As far as girls, I love True Hopes clown suit, but she hasn't worn it in a while! In the blessings exchange area there is some kind of contest going and whoever wins get some insane number of blessing like 200,000 or something!

[Philothei]

Well, lets see who we can all agree we can send to the contest?
I vote for Tsarina!

Nutroll I like your outfit too. I did not notice you changed !

You all look wonderful to me. I like Jenn although I would prefer to see you in a more femine atire for your character like dropping the beard and wearing a scarf maybe and a dress ? (just a suggestion...)and Dorothea you look so pretty at your wedding gown. :)

Ramsese I liked the soldier outfit better it had more color and it suits you better.

God bless,
Philothei

[Dorothea]

You are pretty, too!
Aww. Thanks, DNL! :hug:

[Philothei]

By the way EC you look like a Greek macho guy...lol... with that mustache and the prayer rope looks like worry beats....with the striped suit.
still sharp though.

Thank you! Your CF character is pretty. :)

[Dorothea]

Hmmm, I would have a hard time voting, as I think quite a few of the CF male characters look handsome. It's the goatees. I'm a sucker for them. LOL

What do I win? please let it be a new computer, please let it be a new computer, please let it be a new computer....

[Philothei]

We will have to perk up your character nutrolll a bit... Maybe you can go over at that forum and check it out first. :)

Greek, that's a new one! I've been mistaken for being Russian, English, French, German, Canadian and even a member of the Russian mob (there's a story with that one)! But not Greek.

Aw how sweet. Why would you vote for a loser like me?

I vote for Philothei! :tutu:

[Philothei]

I would vote for you because you got so many looks and you always look like a sharp dresser you are no looser... what are you talking about:? We should do our own contest maybe.... and we should give out blessings to the one who wears the most cute outfits?

LOL....

[nutroll]

I just entered to contest. I had to do a little shopping to get what I needed, but now I just have more stuff to play around with.

[Mary of Bethany]

I don't much look like my character anymore.

TrueHope very sweetly donated the lovely gown and accessories, but I never dress up IRL, and my hair isn't as dark as my character's (CF doesn't have mousy brown ;) ), and I've put back on most of that weight I lost a few years ago. So I like the way my CF character looks a lot better than my real self! :D

Speaking of style - Monica Child of God always has the most gorgeous clothes. :thumbsup:

[Bushmaster78FS]

Does this look like anything coming out of said 1986 blockbuster???? :P
His ego is still writing checks his body can't cash...:swoon:
:holy: Well.... :idea: It was in the background, like a figure with folded wings...?

[Khaleas]

:holy: Well.... :idea: It was in the background, like a figure with folded wings...?
Well, in real life those guys in said movie wouldn't have had a clue where to go and what to do without the good ole E-2 letting them know. :P
And it's a lot harder to land a hippo with a frisbee on top on a postage stamp than a mosquito. :P Did you know they call the Super Hornet's Rhinos so they don't confuse them with regular Hornets. The dumbest name ever... There are rhinos in the pattern... ummm, yea...

[Bushmaster78FS]

I have a sound recording of the 1989 Libya shootdown or was it 1986, regardless it is the E2C crew that clears the Turkeys (the name for the Tomcats) to engage. Rhino for SuperHornet (way larger than a regular Hornet) and Viper for F-16, Warthog for A-10 are all unofficial names. I will always be an Airforce hopeful though... boats make me seasick...

[MsDahl]

Speaking of CF characters, how do I get one? Can someone help this novice out? Thanks so much :P

[fuerein]

Speaking of CF characters, how do I get one? Can someone help this novice out? Thanks so much :P
Go to the blue "Characters" icon at the top of the page. You need to purchase and equip an item from all five categories under "Character Items", these will be things like hair style, skin color, etc. Then you can also buy clothing and such from "Armor Items" section.

[DarkNLovely]

Did anybody else enter? I think tomorrow is the last day!

[MsDahl]

Ok, I did do that the other day. I have a list of items from all 5 categories (except didn't do any armor yet). How do I equip them? I feel like such a novice in this forum. So much to learn!

There is a heading under "Character Items" that says "Equip Character Items"... just keep working through that and you'll get to a list of the items you own and on the far right should be a blue "equip" command.

The Super Uber whatchamacallit?

I might.

[MsDahl]

fuerein , what if I don't like the way the stuff I chose looks on the character. I saw that there was a return option, does that mean I can return it and get something else?

Anyway, what you described sounds a little tricky. I'm going to attempt it now though.

[DarkNLovely]

The Super Uber whatchamacallit?

I might.
Yep! You should! What catagory would you do?

[EmperorConstantine]

Probably the street one. Haven't decided.

(although my character now looks naked without the shield :sigh:)
(ah well, that will go back on later);)

[DarkNLovely]

You had a sheild?

Not sure how the return function works, but I think any blessings you spent are lost if you return it... don't quote me. Looks like you got it to work though.

[EmperorConstantine]

You had a sheild?
Yeah, the giant Orthodox one.

So cool looking, I wish it was real.

[DarkNLovely]

Yeah, the giant Orthodox one.

So cool looking, I wish it was real.
Never saw it! It is like me to miss things like that! Lol!

I think it would be funny if one of the cassock wearers entered as 19th century Russia!:D:D

Thanks so much for explaining it to me. This is pretty cool, does this make me an official dork that I am amused by the CF character? hehe I feel like I'm in high school again...lol

PS I did return something and I got my blessings back. Just an FYI.

[Bushmaster78FS]

MsDahl, you look pretty...

[Mary of Bethany]

If you just "unequip" the items you don't want, you won't get credit, but if you return them after unequipping them, you get partial credit for them.

Mary

[MsDahl]

MsDahl, you look pretty...

Why thank you, I felt like I did a good job in equipping my lil' character...hehe

[Thekla]

Thank you! :)

Nice table, EC -- though from you, I would have expected a billiards table ^_^

[EmperorConstantine]

Billiards or pool. Still getting a ball in a pocket with a stick! :D

[Philothei]

now you look like a complete Greek macho ... playing pool and all...lol.... Hmmm we could add a cup of Greek coffee...and you would be perfect.

Philothei

[Bushmaster78FS]

What is a Greek coffee?

Even the Metropolitan of South Korea, His Eminence Sotirios gets his coffee from Istanpoli...

[TrueHope]

Everyone here looks so good! :)

:P When in Greece do as the Greeks and call it Greek.. when in Poli we call it Byzantinos..... :P When in Korea it should be called Korean....:P ^_^

[Bushmaster78FS]

LOL, yea but I didn't read any Byzantine on the packaging nor Korean, was impressed but nonetheless.... :D ^_^

[Tsarina]

MsDahl, not long ago you were trying to figure out how to get a cf character. Now that you have one, i have to say that your pretty stylish and cute in pink. :)

[AJB4]

I just got rid of my smile (doesn't suit me anyway), and changed my hairstyle to compliment my recent haircut. :D My char isn't too far off, except I wear glasses, and have left them off my char.

[AJB4]

I got glasses! Just to acknowledge...
