Appearance (32) (9 perks)
- My Fashion Sense is Tingling (The World Ends With You)
You have an impeccable sense of fashion. You can make an appealing outfit out of just about anything. In addition, you will always have an innate knowledge of what is fashionable in the area wherever you go, allowing you to remain on top of your game no matter where you are. In fact, you'll usually be a trendsetter.
- Aesthetics (Terraria - Journey's End) (100CP)
It's not enough to just be able to make things, if you can't make them look good. You now have a true talent for design work and layout, capable of mentally visualizing complex structures and working out how best to match your mental vision, without sacrificing things like structural integrity. This also applies when making things on a smaller scale, allowing you to alter the design of objects to add aesthetic flare without compromising their function.
- Artist's Eye (Inception) (200CP)
You've always had a keen attention to detail, but it's about more than just sight. Smells, sounds, if anything the dreams are defined by how they feel. Your skill at paying attention to the minutiae of your environment not only allow you to craft more intricate dreamlands for others to enter, it also lets you spot the details that truly matter. To some, an elevator is just a means to get from one floor to the next, even in the dream. For you? You might realize just what each of those floors represents, and how important it is that you know just what lies within someone's subconscious...

- Artiste (Girl Genius SB) (100CP)
From acting to painting, there's a lot of call for people like you around here! Simply put, you have the skills and talent to be one of the greatest, finest artists of all time. Not just in any one field either. Your talent is boundless and unbelievable at everything remotely art-related you do. With the slightest effort, you could be a scintillating star in all fields from writing, painting, singing, underwater basket weaving... er, you get the idea. Crowds throng to listen to a concerto from you, and books you write may well cause knife fights between people wanting to buy them!
Such is your talent that in but a handful of months you could become a celebrity every bit the equal of the Queen of the Dawn, or any other celebrity you've heard of. This also makes anything you do look unbelievably good, from your fighting which looks like a dance, to your clanks which all look like Things of Beauty and Grace even when stuffed chock-full of firepower.
- Virtuoso (World of Darkness - Demon the Fallen) (100CP)
There is nothing sexier than an artist. Music, painting, singing, you are a veritable virtuoso when you put your mind and faith into your work. Your emotions flow into musical pieces in ways that incite that same emotion in those that hear it. Those that look upon your art understand the deeper meanings of it almost instinctually, but it might always feel as if there is something they just can't grasp about it, something more. In some way, they can feel your divine touch by just experiencing your art.
- Perfected Calligraphy (Exalted - The Infernals) (200CP)
Elloge is a writer and storyteller without peer, ever creating within herself new vortices of vocalization and tangles of text. Her inner worlds reflecting manifold different tales and countless chapters of her own narratives. The deepest parts of her have little to do with reality as it is or ever was, idealized paradises and grand dramas unfolding in realms that resemble Creation, Malfeas, lost Zen-Mu, or any number of other, fictional worlds. So too may you craft elaborate narratives and uniquely beautiful stories, ever writing with the zeal of inspiration, and muse-born linguistics that would stand out even in the countless annals and libraries of Hell. From now on, you shall live and breathe the ingenuity of a talecrafter without peer. Appropriately to the wondrous correspondences you shall write, you will also gain the calligraphic skill to write with neat flowing script or ornate glyphs in all the numberless languages of the Sphere of Speech.

- Ancient But High Tech (Cities of the World) (600CP)
You are an expert in making advanced technology out of lower tech items, and of integrating technology seamlessly into society. Technologies you introduce will be less disruptive and be adopted easier, and are harder to replicate. Not only that, but you've become a virtual genius in making technological items look like nothing of the kind. Scanners that look like mirrors, tables that are computers, stone idols that are forcefield generators. Of course, this makes you extremely good at spotting when others have done exactly the same thing and working out how such devices operate.
As a city, your people are well versed in such integration of form and function, able to seem quaint and harmless while being nothing of the kind. People will constantly underestimate your people as being uneducated hicks and rubes who can't possibly be advanced as modern folks... though this effect isn't enforced and if you show it to be wrong too often, more intelligent people will learn otherwise. Any area under your influence will accept new technology and innovations extremely rapidly and with a minimum of fuss.
- Bring it to Life (Generic Video Game Developer) (600CP)
Your art is transcendent in more ways than one. Any artistic design that you make is like a story of its own, each drawing worth a thousand words and every expression displaying the exact emotion you intended. Your ability is such that you can make drawings that could be mistaken for photographs, even when inspected by experts, and any animation you make is smooth, aesthetically pleasing, and looks natural. Nearly anything you make, even those drawn on a napkin in just under a minute, are so awe inspiring that that napkin drawing could inspire an entire franchise if shown to the right people.
- Legendary Master: Artistic (Rimworld) (600CP)
You're an expert at expressing the inner beauty of any medium. It is mere childsplay to make anything you manufacture fit an aesthetic theme, regardless of function. Any dedicated statues, paintings, sketches etc. you make are vastly improved in quality, regardless of what you actually used or created. A water-colour paint-by-numbers on old parchment showing a gerbil giving birth would still possess beauty if filled by you. Also allows you to find a market for your artwork in any setting, allowing you decent income based upon quality of work. If there exists no parties to purchase such things, I'll buy them. Put them right up on my cosmic fridge.
