general help: How to write a custom description for your character

Introduction

On Cosmic Rage, we allow complete customizations in many things including your character. While most people are happy to keep one of the several description formats we offer for each race, it is possible to write a completely format-free description for yourself. To do so, simply open a support ticket in the donation category go to the RP category, then hit the advanced player description option.
the dynamic description allows you to hide lines of your description under clothing slots, for instance, if you wanted to hide the description of your stomach, you could write the line and then select for it to be hidden by your main body slot.
Keep in mind that if you are wearing any garment that goes in the full body slot, it will hide all parts of the description that specify they are to be hidden by clothing.

Humans

Humans have hair that grows and can change color within the game. They can also style their nails, so our descriptions naturally can accommodate that. If you wish to include a hairstyle in your description, you may use %hairstyle and %hairstyle2. %hairstyle automatically includes the sentence, "He/she has done his/her hair in " where as the second option simply includes the hairstyle without the sentence like so.
The mid-back length cascade of her black hair has been %hairstyle2.
That enables you to set your hairstyle to however you want and it will change within your description like the following.
The mid-back length of her black hair has been tied into a neat ponytail.
In this case, tied into a neat ponytail is the hair style set with the command.
You may also use any of the following in your description which are fairly self-explanatory:
%hair_color
%hair_length
%nail_color
%scale_color
%height_feet
%height_inches
%eye_color

While there are other substitutions available, these are the ones that are dynamic and likely to be changeable in your character's description.

Mutariansi

As mutariansi are shape shifters, it is not necessary to redescribe most of your forms with the donator item as you have the redescribe command available. However, if you want the base form to be changed, please feel free to submit your new custom description.

Dynamic descriptions hidden by clothing slots

If you want to add extra style to your descriptions and have some parts hidden by clothing, the advanced description feature, as mentioned earlier, can help!

It may seem daunting at first, but let's go through it step by step and cover the basics of creating a detailed dynamic description for your character:

Once you select the item in question, a prompt will appear with two options: 'Add' and 'Done.' Selecting 'Add' adds a new line to your character description, while 'Done' finishes the process and submits your request.

When you select 'Add,' you can type only ONE line of your description. This is because it will need to be split into lines for parts to be hidden. After entering the line, a prompt with available body slots for your character will appear, asking you to choose one.

If you do not want the line to be hidden, you can select 'Nothing.' However, if you do, select one of the body parts, and you will return to the menu with your newly written line available for quicker review.

Continue this process, adding the slots where you want each new line to be placed. Each line will either be assigned to a body slot or remain visible, and you'll be able to craft the description you're looking for!

Conclusion

We hope this helps more people come up with some truly unique descriptions. We look forward to reading them and setting them, but do keep in mind that grammar and spelling are extremely important when writing a description for yourself, especially if it's going to be seen every time someone looks at you. Good luck, and see you all in the support tickets.
