[Worldbuilding Ramble] Free Skins
http://www.smackjeeves.com/comicprofile.php?id=165291
In the beginning, Fragments come with three Skins - a set of cosmetics that make up a united look - pre-designed, free of charge. The first Skin is a "Default" skin, a thematically unified approximation of the Master's unique personal traits/quirks during the Fragment Creation questionnaire. After the Master goes through the Tutorial with their Fragment, the game then gives the Fragment two free Skins, basing their designs off the Default skin's themes for thematic consistency. Masters can unlock more Skin slots as they progress through the game, and the option to purchase extra Skin slots on top of the unlockable slots opens up after a Master's made certain achievements. Masters then can design the new Skins on their own, or commission other Masters to create new Skins on their behalf. Skins are purely cosmetic in the beginning. With enough resources and programming know-how, Masters can tweak the Skins' items to alter a Fragment's stats only when that particular Skin is active. Thus, in higher levels of play, Skins can double as a rollout shortcut for specific situations or matchups.
One free Skin is a "Formal" skin, typically used in response to a black tie dress code, or for when the mood requires refined style and flair.
The other free Skin is the "Swimwear" skin, typically used during events themed around summer vacation, tropical paradises, or large bodies of water.
