๐ท Rafayel's Myths ๐ณ
there's not really much that you can do with looks in this game, but i wanted to play with the camera mode and idk where i could post this, so i'm posing it here.
There's a few pinterest collages with a few thoughts in the end.
๐๐ God of The Tides ๐ก๐
I tried to edit the dress bc i really wanted to use that one for this but i don't like the pink. I really like the

๐ Lemurian Sea God ๐๐
Does this dress match the concept as much as i thought it would?? Idk. I wanted her to look like the ocean, but something a little less than the actual look made to match this myth bc she is severely depressed. I think the hair and makeup made her look too modern. Maybe i will try again in the future.
Bรดnus two screenshots from the cards bc they are beautifullll!!!!

I, again, tried to use a different outfit bc i don't like the one that comes with the myth. I do think it's pretty but i don't like it in my MC. There is an abyss (haha) in time between the time when i took the previous pics and these ones. I hope the improvement in the light is noticeable :)
This is how i would actually design it:
๐๐ God of The Tides ๐ก๐
I see this MC as very young and naive, so i'd give her a more whimsical look. Dresses with layers that float and lots of ruffles and frills that reminds of waves and builds a jovial, magical aura. I think the cloths are very soft and light and very few of her outfits would be super tight so they don't get in her way.
For the hair i'd pick something very free spirited, like a haircut that looks rebel and messy but can be put in beautiful hairstyles if needed. I think this MC knows how to style her hair fancy if she wants to but simply doesn't do that in her everyday life bc she is not seen a lot, so no reason to bother.
For the makeup, i think very creative eyes so she can express herself through the colors. I think this MC is very honest about the things she wants and i want to convey that through her eyes. I think makeup that makes them look bigger is very fitting, since eyes are windowns to the soul and she is not hiding anything she feels. I think very strong lips and blush too.

๐ Lemurian Sea God ๐๐
I see this MC as a more mature and melancholic version of the previous one. I think they have similar lives but the violence and betrayal she faces is Romirro gave her a childhood way more traumatic. Rafayel is sad and less hopeful too, so i think this helps with setting her character as it is.
So, for her clothes i see something that reminisce of the ones in her previous life but less free, more tight outfits with lots of chains and jewels that show status. Like the transicion of a sea nymph or water fairy to a sea witch. A color palette that still similar but every shade is darker and the pink that represents youthful naivety is gone, replaced with earthly tones as this Mc is way more divided between the land and the sea.
For the hair, something that still looks a little rebellious if you look close enough but that are nonetheless very intricated, fancy hairstyles that she puts effort into, so people in Romirro can see she is always put together.
For makeup i imagine still very creative eyes, but light colors so the focus can be on the mouth, as she speaks for her people but is not always honest about the things in her mind. I picture very melancholic makeup styles, with lots of blue for the seas and lots of brown for the land. Maybe adding pearls in your eyes is an idea left by ancient legends of Lemuria.
โ๏ธ ๐ Abysswalker ๐ โ๏ธ
For Abysswalker i'm being very practical. The outfit in the game shows a lot of skin which can be dangerous under the desert sun and very cold in desert night. So i'd cover her neck to toe. I'd add lots of belts and zippers as i see the game does that a lot, so i think it would match Rafayel's outfit well. I'd make the details in gold instead of silver, since Rafayel's are silver and she was a princess prior leaving.
Her hair would be short or up always so the sand doesn't fuck it up. I'm not a fan of bangs in my MC personally but in this context it's good to protect her forehead, i also think it matches the vibe.
Makeup would be very dark and intense around the eyes so protect from the sunlight reflecting in the sea of sand. Just batman-esque black smudges in daily life but things with shape when she's feeling fancy. Lips would be essentially nothing daily, but in special occasions maybe neutral colors with a bit of shimmer.
I like to think she had a mask since she ran away and should not be recognized until they reach Whalefall City. I like the idea os a mask that covers her upper face since Rafayel has one that is the exact opposite.

I'll make a post with just this last part later so if you see it twice pretend you didn't.
