Do your nation's people look like you?

Postby Inutoland » Sat Nov 17, 2012 8:44 pm

Pretty self-explanatory, really. Do most people of your nation (on NS) look like you in RL? Could you pass for a native?

+++

I couldn't. Inutos are short, tend to be wiry, have skin tones in the Southeast Asian-Polynesian-New World Tribal ranges, straight black hair, very dark eyes (though with an occasional green-eyed individual), and the men find it difficult to grow facial hair. (And before anyone gets funny, no, the women don't grow facial hair either.

I, on the other hand, am ethnically Caucasian, with red hair tinging into brown, blue eyes and a pretty good moustache.

In hair tone and some facial features, but not in height (2-3 inches shorter), skin tone (although it's similar) or most other features.

Not in the slightest, but we're not xenophobes, so any human that doesn't support the UEA is allowed to live alongside us and all the other alien species.

Nope. YellowApplans are short and thin. Or are ponies. Or both. Or are another species entirely.

I'm not short, thin, or a pony, so that doesn't bode well for me being a typical YellowApplan resident :P

The GWO's too varied. I could fit in, but so could just about anyone.

If you mean the only true GWO race, the Villagers, no, not at all, and if there's anyone in RL who looks like a Villager, I'm seriously concerned for their health.

Nope, although I would feel absolutely horrible for a species based off of my RL appearance. I'm whiter than Micheal Jackson tried to be and I'm still not pale enough to even come close to "fitting in" in my nation, and my hair is far from the white/light grey that is natural to the main species. I guess I might be able to pass as a mage, as their hair and eye colors tend to vary widely from the norm, but if anyone took a second look they'd clearly see my comparatively oddly-shaped eyes and large nose, and if they ever took notice of the ridiculous amount of hair that my body grows then that alone would be enough to mark me out as a non-native.

In a rather odd back formation, I look like my nation's people, not the other way around.

First I'd imagined a world where everyone dressed just how I thought everyone ought to dress, and drew many pictures of that ideal, the suits, ties, fedoras, top hats and coattails for fancy events.

Then when something awful snapped inside my head, I decided that I ought to start trying to make that ideal a reality. So I started exclusively dressing as I envisioned my people would.

Of course, if I were transported to that world, I'd probably get strange looks for wearing outdated fashion, since my real life suits lack the enhancements I've given to my drawings, since I'm no tailor.

I'd pass for a local, but one with oddly plain tastes.

Claratopians are 98% white.
People from the Zolian region have mostly blonde hair and blue, green or grey eyes.
People from the Londe region have red, brown or dark hair and are often shorter then Zolians.
A Zolian with purple eyes or black hair normally has Zankoranite genetics.
RL me has ash blonde hair, freckles and green eyes which in Claratopia would make people think would make me half Zolian and half Londish.
