How does she fare?

It's going to be fine.

_He'll just use alter self for a while.

She's a noblewoman on the run, so this is nothing new.

Just fine. Being a spell caster has perks when you can't be seen carrying a weapon.

"Finally, a chance to dress like a civilized person~"

She'd have an enormous amount of fun getting the grimy druid in a suit and the butch barbarian chick in a floofy dress.

You sound like fun.

Can I play with you?

Meta-Sapients being invited to a gala? Either this is Evo hosted or something's up.

>the "noble" "fashion"
Nah.

"Of course user! First, let's see how you look in this skirt...~"

Completely fine. Hanging around high society and politicking is basically her job.

Not exactly her style, but given that she's been recently told that having good culture is a sign of strength, she manages when looking at it from that light. Her etiquette is spotty, but she's charming enough to offset it anyway.

She never had a weapon to start with, so no issue there.

How do I look?

"Ohohoho~ Simply magnificent, my dear~"

I possibly play it a little too much, but the playful noble(wo)man is such a fun archetype to play. It's a really interesting roleplaying challenge as well, balancing that degree of confidence/arrogance (which in a fantastical setting can often mean belief in a literal divine right to rule) with a degree of responsibility, a sense of duty and a drive to protect the world. Not out of any selfless drive towards good, but because it is Their world, and they are not about to let some two bit villain do harm to their property.

She is not happy. And probably has a couple of swords stashed in her dress. If anyone tries to make her dance there will be blood on the dancefloor.

I guess some form of mayhem will happen

My character would get along with yours: a servant boy who is incredibly supportive and lost his family in a tragic accident and now is looking for some good people to support and love -and from whom to get loved in return- while spreading the word of the setting's equivalent of a God of love.

I mean, not to drag you down or anything but eh...

He sounds like a massive faggot.

>Playing female characters
Good one

It's fine, you can have your opinion.

Perhaps if we played together you'd change your mind. Also because what I wrote is just a very short summary of his personality.

Get a room and take your faggot Ryan elsewhere

I mean, a well adjusted rational adult might agree with you, since really I've only read a summary of the character.

But this is Veeky Forums. And just like reading being a rational human bean is for nerds.
So, hah, your character is gay and no amount of mature responses is going to change my shitty opinion!

>doesn't know that Veeky Forums stands for totally gay

Sure smells like summer in here

>Not having a gay manservant

Get on my level, plebian~

You wouldn't dare lay a hand on a starry-eyed boy.

Not even Slaanesh would.

She'll fare pretty good

And finaly she has a chance to wear something else besides her flight suit/military fatigues

Sounds like your character needs some loving.

Perfect. Now sneak into the kitchen and put this sodium cyanide and ground glass into all the salt bowls.

She is the state investigator for her local lord, putting her at a level just below chief of the feudal Japanese version of police. She also happens to secretly be the host for a myriad of supernatural bugs.
She'd feel unnatural to have such overtly concealing clothes, but she would be used to it.

>closest is a 10/10 andro faggot crossdressing lizardmen

HAHA. JOKE ON YOU DM

I mean... I wanna ask why you played that.

But the more I imagine about what kind of person would play the less I want to know.

I will not deny that the character I was referencing is a 16 year old warrior woman who has been exiled from her home only to find a new home where she quickly attended the local equivalent position of police sergeant. Shortly after all sorts of terrible things started going down, mostly due to cultists practicing blood magic, and she was told to deal with it on top of having to look after a number of influential guests including another PC who was a bumbling spellcaster who hadn't left his home before and was just a pile of adorkable that she just instantly mothered the crap out of.
Poor girl is a big twisted mass of stress, hormones, conflicting instincts and violence.

Which brand?

Cock=hard.
Thats it.

...

>not using DWARF to make an ECH
>F to E
>D to C
>F to H
Fucking shameful, user.

"I have a feminization / transsexual fetish, please help me jerk off"
There, was that so hard to say?

There isn't a super-fancy gala she would be invited to that she'd accept unless accompanying her ward, in which case she would be present in full armour.

Big sister?

You sound like you have a femdom fetish.
How short are you?

Horrendously.
Without his fully body clothing people will notice the fact he's a motherfucking SKELETON.

5" 6'

But bigger guys can also have this fetish right?

That's about the right level of adorkable.
Oh I forgot to add that this guy ended up at the mercy of a frighteningly powerful water spirit that offered him power at a price, that he accepted. He lost his eyes in exchange for void magics.
So now he's blind and unable to write letters on his own and trusts my character to help him out. The mothering and well intentioned fussing was off the charts.
If that character ever called mine nee-chan (it's an L5R game), she'd probably explode.

If you've been to the /d/ thread you'll find they're all manlets with their only hobbies being "vidya".
Not a certain game, not a certain genre, just "vidya".
Sure, taller guys CAN have it, but from what I've seen it's far more common in (weak) manlets.

My wood elf druid gal can turn into an allasaurus. She'll be fine.

>illusionist
Fantastically. Though, unless that's specifically THE dress code, she's likely to show up dolled up in a fancy kimono instead of a fancy ballgown.

>rogue trader
That's basically what she wears every day.

>You walk with him through the park, chatting as usual.
>Sit down on a bench, listen to the songbirds singing
>his hand accidentally brushes against yours
>after a bit you talk again of your plans for the future
>you get back up and head home again, guiding him every step
>he's weary from the toil of the day so he calls dibs on the tub
>you offer to help him once again
>he laughs and jokes "Don't worry big sis, I can handle myself!"
>Just before he stumbles and bumps into you again

I can smell the anime from here.

> Ah! Don't strain yourself too hard.
> I'm here for you.
> She gently wraps her overly muscled arms around him.
> He leans into her.
> Nee-chan!
She cums buckets. And then she wakes up. She knows her dream will never become real. He's too important to ever be with her and too independent to let her take care of him, even though he needs her help! Tears go here.

9, 13, and 12, hit my buttons.

>>Absolutely no armor or weapons
user, please. Why else do you think she chose the biggest, poofiest dress she could find.
It-it's not because I think it's cute! It just... offers tactical concealment, you idiot!

You should wear that more often: you look so cute in that dress!

But it is hard to maneuver in and it negatively affects my combat efficiency and...
do you really think so?

>Your female (or close enough) character
I don't think any of them count as 'close enough'.

Yes, absolutely.

I should find a good group that doesn't mind a little bit of lewdness in the game...

She hates it! She's really tomboyish, and ever since she lost her arm she's been forced to prove she's tough and can keep up with everyone else despite the obvious handicap. She doesn't want to be all primed up and fancy and be called cute.

The only really positive point is that, being from nobility, she'd actually know how to act at a gala and could at least pass for proper elite for the evening - even if she'd glare at anyone who'd ask her to dance.

My character is already established as wearing fancy, expensive clothing and being quite vain. Her clothing is more expensive than the actual noble in the party.
She's already done the whole "fancy party with pretty dress" thing in one session, going so far as turning up with a silk bow on her tail (she's a tiefling).
She'll fare pretty well, I think.

>silk bow on her tail

I don't know why, but that just sounds adorable.

It was pretty adorable. It lasted about half an hour until an invisible assassin tried to kill the king she ended up using the bow to bandage the king's wounds.
Bonus though, it meant she got to show off by leading a band of knights to raid the assassin's hide-out, while still wearing her gown.

>poofy gown
A knee-long super frilly skirt is ok, right?

>Tight corset
Standard attire is an armoured steampunk corset that she has spent a whole day dutifully removing or painting over the cogs because her teammates told her "steampunk was the worst fashion".
>no weapons
It's OK if they're concealed, right? They're only machine pistols in concealed holsters. No?

Well, force 18 stunballs are perfectly ok, too, I guess.

>stylish and makeup
Always.

The loli dryad mage is probably more at home than gunning down Corp security anyway.

She really wouldn't go for it, her culture isn't one where dresses like that are common and she's not very fond of the idea of wearing them. She would much rather just put on a tuxedo and pass herself off as a fairly androgynous man if she ever for whatever reason had to attend a party like that and leave the dress wearing to the person in the group that does actually wear things like that.

>Absolutely no armor or weapons
It's a dull affair if it doesn't necessitate at least one use of a disruptor pistol.

Hit up the buffet and drinks, find a secluded corner where no one will ask me to dance, then plot revenge on whoever signed me up for this.

I like your character. A magic user, I take it?

>Super-fancy gala
>Not knowing how to hide a fashionable and functional needlepoint blade in the lining of your skirt, the boning of your corset, and the comb keeping your hair in shape like the rest of the girls.

I didn't realize we had to attend a party for such pedestrian folk. I don't understand how people can stand rubbing shoulders with the proletariat. How do some people manage to get the stench of cheap booze and poverty out of their clothes?

It's probably a diplomatic event, meant to promote peace. Simply being caught with a weapon would be a political and social blow.

>he plays female characters

>Simply being caught with a weapon

Then don't get caught. Everyone's probably carrying, everyone probably knows that everyone's probably carrying, and no one wants to ruin a good thing by being caught carrying.

Why carry if you know it would ruin a good thing? If no one else is carrying and this is an event of peace, you probably won't have to worry about being attacked.

Seriously, what if no one else was carrying weapons? That would make it look horrible if someone realizes you have a blade.

How she does is VERY mixed.

On the one hand, she is good at dancing, slender enough for the corset to not be a problem and has fantastic hair.
On the other hand, she is huge and scary looking and has utterly no understanding of how to act in high culture.

Plus, she doesn't feel comfortable when unarmed these days.

How about picrelated?
Describe which and why.

You do not seem to understand how aristocrats and nobles live and conduct diplomacy.
> B-but it's for peace!
Peace doesn't help you fight off an assassin or five user, that's what holdout weapons are for. And can you imagine the loss of respect if someone found out you weren't carrying? You'd mark yourself as a total chump and people would be lining up to use you or sending assassins after you, depending on their motives.

Come on, man, work with me here. You can't just keep insisting nobles will always carry weapons. What if it's like the equivalent of a UN thing?

>7ft Trandoshan Bounty Huntress in a big dumb fluffy dress.
This better be worth a billion Jagannath Points.

She has status. Breeding. Cuts an impressive figure. Enough wealth to afford some decent duds. Has a reputation for being dangerous and people are unlikely to fuck with her because of it.

On the other hand...
>fabulous poofy gown
Well... maybe. If you absolutely swore to her that that's the kind of thing everyone else would be impressed by.
>petticoats
...you're kidding, right?
>tight corset
It'd probably have to have steel banding. And you'd need someone with a strength score on par with hers to tighten it.
>high stilleto heels
"This is a joke, right? You're finding humor in this? You're kidding? You're not kidding. What in gods name is WRONG with you settled folk?"
>Absolutely no armor or weapons
No horse, no weapons? Are you insane? Why would you do this to each other?
>Hair styled, makeup
W-well, alright...

Really though, has enough ego to go "Nah, I'm dressing my way, if they have issue with it they can take it up with me."
Probably try to bargain down to something like pic related though.

>at some ridiculous fancy party
>loaded for bear as usual
>see cyber assassin I've been contracted to kill
>try to subdue him quickly and quietly so nobody notices
>"Oh hello there, you look fantastic in that dress!"
>tfw dress has no pockets
>frag grenades fall out of crinoline

Most embarrassing day of my life.

After stopping at the nearby boutique and being pampered and dressed by her former bully, she shows up looking spectacularly cute with her freshly groomed arcanaloth tail and her frilly new dress. Her interiors flock to her and scramble for her attention or stew in jealousy, but the wiser and more powerful yugoloths can see through her facade. They see a precocious, young yugoloth who is so naive, whose methods are gentle and inefficient, and whose ambitions are so petty and low that she is unworthy of their attention. Could that be what she wants them to think?

Wouldn't a world were adventurers and especially female adventurers have specific fashions for just this sort of thing? Like, why bother with the uniform of the aristocracy when there could be an adventurer inspired formal fashion, synergizing wealth, aesthetics, and adventuring practicality? Why stilettos and not classy riding boots?

Probably wouldn't go at all if there was a dress code and would either wait outside or go find something else to do while everyone else goes.

No idea who these characters are but 2, 5, and 13.

There's just something magical when a tomboy puts on a dress. Maybe because it's a rare look for them and so you can appreciate it more.

Poorly. She has never worn any of those things and she does not like to parted from her Vibrosword.

Whatever we needed to attend the gala for, we'll will have to find another way.

>Your female (or close enough) character must attend the super-fancy gala
My 8-foot-tall half-giant barbarian woman does not like the sound of this.

>Fabulous poofy gown is mandatory, with petticoats or hoopskirt if need be
No, it is not mandatory. She's going to be the strongest and most dangerous person in the building. If she says it's not mandatory, it's not mandatory. It's tunic or nothing. And she'd honestly have no compunctions about going naked, because...

>Get that waist in a tight corset
...Her torso is shaped like a brick, and is only slightly less yielding. It would take an industrial vice to give her an hourglass-figure, and materials beyond the ken of man to keep her that way.

>Comfy shoes? Nope, has to be really high stiletto heels
She weighs half a ton and has feet the size of spades. Even if you could find shoes that fit her, with heels that didn't just crumple instantly under her weight, she'd probably obliterate any floor she tried to walk on.

>Absolutely no armor or weapons
She once kicked a horse to death. She once caved a man's skull in with a head-butt. She once broke one of her party-member's arms by accident. Her entire body is a deadly weapon. Going by the rules, she shouldn't even be allowed in the building.

>Hair has to be stylish, face has to be dolled up with makeup
She looks like the bastard lovechild of Furiosa and B.J. Blazkowicz. She wears a mask and a hood for a reason.

>How does she fare?
These rich fuckers hired her to kill a dragon, not stand around simpering over canapes. She'd probably get stopped at the front door, decide "screw it, I'm not being paid for this shit", and go have a piss-up in the nearest tavern.

True. This is also covered in some fiction I've read. It's basically the equivalent of a soldier wearing their dress uniform to a fancy do. Totally acceptable by virtue of it being the equivalent to a fancy dress/tuxedo: something beyond merely practical wear. Sometimes it just turns out that your military dress uniform is a bear pelt.

However, bear in mind the following:

I have a character who would be delighted- at first.
Then she would remember that she's a commoner by birth and only managed to get away with faux pas and snide insinuations at the singular gala she's ever been at because the wine was good and people were willing to let the mistakes of an actress slide.
So she would be horrified out of her half-elf mind unless she had an escort, who she would spend the night trying to impress or trying not to offend.
Also, she 'hates' nobility on principle, but loves their wealth and all of that delicious food she never got a chance to eat when she herself was a servant.
Especially cake.

"YES"
"Uh"
"Was that too eager?"
"I mean, I'd like to go. And we should be careful. About. The stuff. Becaus we'll be unarmed"


"And such"

"... D-do I get the frilly shirt? Please say yes, I'd love to wear something that isn't effing chainmail and llamelar I beg of you"

All I'm hearing is how very much I want to put her in a custom-tailored very large dress. Poofiness optional, but I love the contrast between gruff and cute.

Tbh this user here is the only part of this thread that isn't pure undestiled cancer, since he's cancer but at least he's honest cancer.

Is this the same half-elf I read about in another thread yesterday that was whored to a thane for a longboat?

Your opinion has been noted and discarded

>dat video
MOAR

She'd be branded a slut because her corset would be functional leather armor, her skirt would end halfway down her thighs so she can still move, the train would be nothing more than a ribbon that can get torn off mid fight, and she'd be using ZR to get away with it.

Only way she'd agree to it.

>that dress must weigh 30 lbs
>either it's all around that neck chain, unlikely
>Or there's a bunch of hidden belts digging into her skin to brace the weight and spread it out
>Leaving delicate, crisscrossing bruises over her sides and belly

As another user put it so delicately, cock=hard

You'd think, right? But I think you can trust me on this that there will be no bruises, nor even any damage. Enough natural DR means you can wallow in a bathtub full of broken glass and take no damage.
Feel free to imagine all the scars you want though. She loves showing those off.

>sample image
Worse than Hitler.

For women it might be the most formal occasion they've ever attended. For men, it might be the most humiliating experience in their entire life. For him, it was Tuesday.

He does not give a shit. He already is an absurd bishounen who dresses up in female robes in cultures where women are put on pedestals and sheltered, pretending to be one to deceive others and exploit their sense of white knighthood. He doesn't think of himself as a woman, ot's simply a matter of pragmatism - everyone lets their guards down around a dainty, pretty woman with lots of money who acts majestic, but perhaps a tad clueless. It's just too exploitable to pass up. Of course, in social venues where it's more advantageous to do so, he dresses like a man. Anything to get leverage. Nothing else matters. Things like honor and dignity mean nothing when you're making money.

>hoopskirt

You're making it easy! He can move his legs around more like that!

>really high stiletto heels

Maximum dexfag.

>Absolutely no armor or weapons

Too squishy to use those anyway. Plus, fighting style relies on being unarmed.

>Hair has to be stylish, face has to be dolled up with makeup

What else is new.

>How does she fare?

Can't scrap the trap, motherfucker.

My current character is a college student in a JoJo campaign. Fuck poofy dresses and petticoats, I'm already going to be the most fabulous person in the room

Most of my characters are female, though.

Gonna go with some of the more recent ones.

My current is an overworked, chainsmoking, Japanese office worker who mostly keeps herself sane with her model building hobby. She'd love having a break like that and being at party and she knows how to be polite at least. She'd probably handle herself okay except for some cultural fuck ups (and possibly language?).

My dwarven sailor/paladin would be super out of her element and doesn't really have any manners, so she'd fuck it up like she fucks up everything.

My exiled princess would naturally be at home.

My security guard ghost would just look like a floating dress since she's invisible to most people. She'd freak everybody out and ruin the gala. However, she'd enjoy herself immensely.

I have a fairly high ranking military engineer who is fairly used to this kind of thing, albeit in a sci fi setting. She'd be bored out of her skull and try to find excuses to leave, but she'd do fine because this is all routine to her.

Nobody said courtly dress had to be concealing. Just look at Versailles.

3, 5, 9, and 10.

Or its not metal.

>Forced feminization is my fetish
>Noblelady outfits are my other fetish

I'd probably be too busy trying to not show how much I'm enjoying the current development to care about how much my character would react.

Have you considered just being a girl? That's totally an option. I sure can't stop you.
