It is a posted rule on the site, so it's not like anyone is being out of line by disliking it. And as Qom said, some people in the real world will discriminate against you and call you a danger to society without even meeting you because of wild hair or clothes; especially in the period of history BoC is set in.
In my opinion, if you're a civilian, weird hair and clothes should be tolerated as you're a free person of Cove. Just be aware and be ready for the countless people who will be prejudiced against you and treat you harshly for your weird hairstyle. Just think if you had a neon green mohawk in real life, old people and posh high society women will look at you as if you're a criminal; and police will pay more attention to you as you walk past. If you want green hair, you have to be able to handle that.
However if you're a member of the army, it's easily understandable that something that unique wouldn't be allowed as it undermines the purpose of a cohesive army. I'm not really sure what part of Cove your character belongs to...

3rd of June, Evening
Watchman Zoie Hayden, Dragoon Recruit
Watchman Jakob D'Stoke, Dragoon RecruitI was just about to start my Recruit Cadre when my partner Jakob informed me that our mentor Sergeant Hoagie had ordered us to carry out a task at our earliest convenience. So, as soon as my cadre was complete, Jakob and I plopped on our helmets, armed up, and made our way to Despise; the only place we knew of where we would find a Lord of ogres. We were rather nervous about the task given us; to extract a tooth as a trophy from a dead Ogre Lord. We both knew the stories of such a beast and how hard it can be to take one down; especially one in it's own lair with possibly countless lesser ogres as guards. But we are to be Dragoons someday and such impossible tasks are expected of us, and to an extent, even beneath us! With that in mind, we arrived at the dungeon entrance and made our way inside. We chose to take the steps downward and from there ran as hard as we could to get past the Ettin and Elemental guards. We made it to the second set of stairs down without incident and descended.  On the third level of the dungeon, we ran into all sorts of monsters including Trolls and Ogres, which were no match for the two of us. We killed more than a few as we made our way deeper, headed for a place Sir Hoagie had suggested as to where we might find the Lord.  Before we knew it, we came face to face with the Ogre Lord. Having dispatched his guards beforehand, it was just him against us. He charged at us right away, and Jakob quickly suggested we use a skirmishing technique to so as not to be easy targets for his large mace, to which I agreed. For the next few minutes, we ran circles around the beast, cracking and stabbing him as we passed, sometimes receiving a knock in return. We could see him begin to wear down as blood streamed from his wounds and tired from the constant chase; not to mention Jakob's constant banter which would sap any enemy's morale to fight! Before long, we had the upper hand as the tired and wounded Ogre fell onto some rocks and was only barely able to defend himself. We wasted no time in finishing off the beast and were flush with victory and confidence.  As soon as the life left it's body, Jakob carved out one of the Ogre's molars as a trophy of our victory and we left the dungeon as quickly as we had come in. After making our way back home, we brought the tooth to Sergeant Hoagie who congratulated us and took it to place in the Dragoon display case.

In Character Boards / In Character Board / Gold for the coffers!
|
on: June 01, 2007, 01:35:02 pm

30th of May, early afternoon
Though I'd already donated a good amount to the Baron's coffers, I still needed a little bit more to fulfill my requirement as a Watchman. So, with permission, I decided to venture alone to Shame and see if I couldn't wrestle some gold from the Earth. When I arrived at the mouth of the dungeon, a nervous feeling came over me, but I quickly pushed it aside and prepared for the fight ahead.  As I'd hoped, there were many earth elementals inside doing whatever it is earth elementals do. I then set about slaying as many of them as I could, which not only helped my fighting skills, but found they also carried gold coins and gold nuggets as part of their being. Once I'd slain one, it was easy to extract the gold and find another.   Once my pockets were full of gold, I decided to make a hasty retreat so as not to lose what I'd already gained. I retreated from the dungeon, then made my way back to Cove. When I arrived back home, I immediately went to the barracks, and counted and sorted the gold I'd come away with. I set aside a large pile of 2,500 gold coins, then took it straight into the storeroom and dropped it onto the pile of gold there. that brings my total donated to the militia to 10,000.
