The Fall of Prince Ravenna, 3

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: A young woman heavy with child took a hesitant step off the Junk boat that brought her to the strange lands in the West. The dragon, who's name means Mirror, floated around her nudged her gently, "Just a few more steps, my Queen, and I promise your child will be born safely here." She looked down at the dark waters lapping softly at the boat. The ruin of her face looked back at her. Everyone else saw a beauty with skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood, and hair as black as ebony, but all she saw was the nightmare of a woman burned alive. Her pain was unbearable. Every slight movement was an explosion of pain. She knew her death was near. Only the determination to bring her child safely into the world kept her alive. She would not let the Shogun, who had murdered her for refusing his advances, take the life of her child too! Her husband was murdered before her, and as clumps of burned flesh fell from her body, she wailed, "Kagami, Kagami. Please save my baby."

I'm back from vacation with one more post in the Snow White series for Enchantment. Sadly, Enchantment has ended so you will need to go to the mainstores for the goodies, but also I included the nice new AIR mirror from current round of Kurenai.

Somewhere Over the Rainbow...

STORYLINE: Dorothy was forever changed by her childhood visit to Oz. It was considered a miracle she escaped the tornado with only a bump to the head and a scar to the face. She had long ago accepted her memories of Oz were dreams triggered by head trauma. Never-the-less, she was determined to bring a little magic of Oz to Kansas. She studied agriculture to learn how to revitalize parched land. To brighten the otherwise dusty landscape, she planted colorful flowers that reminded her of Munchkinland. "Paradise is not a dream," Auntie Em often said, "It's the product of hard work and determination." All seemed to be going well for Dorothy, until the eve of her 18th birthday. Shattering her sense of reality, a yellow brick road slowly formed before her house leading up into the sky.

Plea of the Niwa Oni

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: Niwa was a young Oni who never bothered anyone. Flowers were her passion. She created a magical garden hidden in a snowy pass that led Oni lands. It was so beautiful it fast became the favorite destination of Oni lovers. Until one day a human hiker stumbled upon it. Now the trees were being cut down, bulldozers were leveling the ground, and where her prized camellias once grew, a cement truck emptied its load. She was not a strong Oni. She could not stop the humans from building a lodge there. So with tears in her eyes, she turned to the one who could help her. "Please, Mizuiro-chama, save my garden."

Hackers of Mars: Sanctuary in the Sky

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: As Static Charge's ship landed on a private sky home landing pad, two people were waiting for his arrival. They quickly hid him below, out of view. Many questions were asked about life in the mines and in the sky. Static soon discovered the "Sanctuary in the Sky" was no sanctuary at all. It was populated with genetically engineered hybrids, just like on the surface, but these slaves were designed to cater to every comfort and desire of the Mars Lords. Their lives only appeared glamorous. There were true horrors in the sky his two new friends would not even dare to whisper in the shadows.

Its been fun to do something a space opera flavor. lol.  Fulli is wears a great gown by Junbug at Collarbor88 and the sale is ending soon! Go get this while it's still at a low low price! It comes in several different colors, and you can pick up a fur wrap and matching clutch too. Her headdress and hair are by Tukinowaguma. The cool Viron collar by Rosal has animating light textures which you can tint any color you like. She's wear two makeups by Nuuna to create a scifi geisha look. On her raised hand is one piece of the DiGi Grid Defender Equinox set. (I'm loving the the Grid Defender idea!) This incredibly gorgeous scifi elegant home is by Fanatik. It's all one piece mesh, no rez box. ...And don't forget, Cursed Events' Futurewave is coming soon!

STORYLINE: Among the denizens of the sky was a manservant named Yuu. He was hopelessly in love with the Sky Maiden he was meant to protect until she was of age to marry the Lord of the South. She was exactly engineered to the taste of his master. The thought of that vicious beast ever touching her drove him insane. He concocted a desperate plan to escape to the Earth. Time was running out. It was Yuu who hacked the main sever and inserted a vulnerably that allowed Static Charge to enter the Skyzone.

Yuu is wearing the new hair Kirito by Ayashi. It has a kawaii boyishness to it that's great on mesh anime head as well the default avi. The hair is unrigged hair so you can scale it on the xyz. The face and ear piercings are all mesh by House of Darcy. Each piece is separate so you can move it around for a good fit. Piercings come in several colors, I'm wearing Frost. The piercings work great with the mesh ears by Mandala. The Kabuki Shishi outfit by Barerose is fun. It's part military, part kimono. You can wear in two ways, but if you go without the jacket there is not an alpha for shirtless, so you may need to borrow an alpha from different off-the-shoulder kimono. The headdress is Air Shen by AIR and can you believe this is a gacha? The detail is so beautiful. Give it a spin for 50L and see what color you get. Yes I am wearing a mesh eyelash again. If you wondering about trying it, but dont want to spend alot, try the Del's Mesh eyelashes for 20L. It will require editing, but if you're handy at editing it's not trouble. What I did here was use the lower eyelash only for a more manly Clockwork Orange type style. Wearing only the lower lash is also great because there is no problem with blinking. lol. This skin is great past group gift from Tableau Vivant. To mix it up and give it a whole new look, I combined the Tableau Vivant Vincent white eye makeup with the Nuuna male makeup. The side stripe echoes the off the shoulder kimono. To give Yuu a more sensual look, I added a excellent freebie teeth tattoo by Avea Heartsick. I don't think it's still available, but you might some other great goodies in the Avea Archives. The Ice Collar you can pick up for free at the Open Collar hubs. I matched Yuu's frosty coloring for his nails too. It took several trail and errors before I found a Hello Dave nail applier for Slink that match his coloring and also work for a more manly style nail. The eyes by S0NG I picked up at RMK Frost Fair. They look awesome with a blueish reflection. The eyes by S0NG you find at the main store. They come in only one size, mesh and system.

We Love Role Play: Conspiracy in Ancient Egypt

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: Kaiser Kruel was not always known by that name. In the ancient world, he was Horemheb, the ambitious Commander in Chief of Pharaoh's army when the Two Lands was at war with itself at the end of the 18th Dynasty. A beautiful Mitanni princess, Nefertiti, brought with her a new monotheistic religion that plunged the nation into a bloody power struggle between the Bull Worshippers and the new Children of the Sun. The heretic queen met an ugly end, and was soon followed by her lovesick husband Akhenaten. His sickly child ascended the throne and was also quickly dispatched. Ankhesenamun, the naive widow of short-lived Tutankhamen, flew into commander's arms, begging him to save her from a marriage to a Hittite prince. He only pretended to care. His eyes were firmly set on the prize. Once she was gone, that left only Aye standing in his way. 4 years later, Horemheb would become the most powerful god king in the known world and return Ancient Egypt to glory.

p.s. I am monster Ancient Egypt fan. This is a fiction but it's also based on lot of historical knowledge of this time period.

We <3 Role-Play! is in the second round this month with even more participants than the first round. If you love dressing in genres like Fantasy, Gor, Medieval, Victorian, and Egyptian run over there and scoop up new original content items on sale! I am showing three things currently available. First, let me say this Egyptian lady skin by Avea Heartsick combined with the dress by Arwen's Creations is stunning and perfectly coordinated. The crown is made to go with the Rocca hair by Tukinowaguma. The outfit comes with everything you see in the image plus clothing layer undergarments. If you love Ancient Egypt, RUN GO GET IT! Seriously. It's gorgeous. (When can I expect a male counterpart from Arwen's Creations? *taps foot impatient*) I am wearing the mesh armor on sale at event by Innoc. It comes in male and female, black and brown. You need to do some adjusting for a good fit on the unrigged mesh parts. The kilt I am wearing is rare item greatly needed, a long mesh kilt. This one by A:S:S comes with an awesome mesh belt in silver or gold, but for my purposes I used the L&B Biker belt to match the brown leather strap theme. I love my claw rings by Glitz. The Saint hair by Emo-tions could be like a punk version of the Sidelock hairstyle the Egyptian princes wore if you use a little imagination.
