Sakurako Hino Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 This is so embarassing...I had gone to Lemmy's party, and some uninformed bouncers had tossed me on my rear thinking I was some teeny-bopper gatecrasher.This leads me to my question, and it's sort of embarassing to ask...Is there anyone out there that can permanently change the appearance of someone? Or at the very least tack on a couple of years to my appearance? Is such a thing possible?I at least want to look like someone who just got out of High-School. >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matryoshka Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 Child,I know this feels.I look like my Son's younger sister.In more than one way.I mean you saw me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakurako Hino Posted December 27, 2003 Author Share Posted December 27, 2003 Yeah, I saw, but at least most people believe your ID...I literally have to know people just to get in certain places now. Hell, 7 different memos had to be sent around TKI-Tokyo's front offices and security just before people started remembering I was who I said I was and not some pink haired groupie.I thought I could adapt, and it looks like I won't. And I don't have time to see if I'll "grow out" of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwriter Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 Honey, I think I can do it. It isn't so different to ageing a book, after all, or making your sword new again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakurako Hino Posted December 28, 2003 Author Share Posted December 28, 2003 *scratches chin*Hmmm... Well, I'm willing to roll the bones... As long as you don't make me look like a 100 year old granny, I'm good to go.Just tell me when you want to show up, and I'll make you comfy.

Ashnod Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 Of course, Endeavor, if Codex is intending to use temporal methods to make you appear older, you'd best keep in mind that you'd actually be getting old physically. It's not so much a matter of appearance as it is advancing your physical age a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakurako Hino Posted December 28, 2003 Author Share Posted December 28, 2003 Ummm... errr... Temporal? Uh, I'm not even sure how I age if at all. If that is how Codex does it... I may have a few more qualms about this than originally... You know what, there are too many variables, I'm just gonna have to deal with this. Sorry for bothering everyone.

Jager Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 Note: Someone is going manipulate the quantum building blocks of reality to make you look older. It may not matter how you normally age. Your internal clock will be altered, that's for sure.Another option would be to find someone who manipulates cellular structures. A plastic surgeon for novas.

David 'Dr. Troll' Smith Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 Or just get a plastic surgeon.I know it will sound a bit course, but breast implants and a bottle of hair dye might be a solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Craft Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Time manipulation could be pretty clean. You'd have to be able to age naturally, but it would actually be the least invasive means possible. Nothing would be done to your body that your body wouldn't eventually do on its own.

Sakurako Hino Posted December 29, 2003 Author Share Posted December 29, 2003 Okay, my options are sounding more scarier by the minute. I'm talking white knuckle here. >.<Doc Troll:"...just get a plastic surgeon. I know it will sound a bit course, but breast implants and a bottle of hair dye might be a solution."I've already tried non-permanent solutions for my... figure. To put it this way, I'd rather let my body grow it, than implant it and have it look all wrong. I can make enough toys to at least make it look like I didn't grow too well as a kid. As for hair, strangely enough, my Pink hair works to my favor. since it's one of my more distinguishing physical traits.While the options sound promising, going under the knife isn't my thing.Charr:"...I know a couple that would love to check out your mitochondria, Saky."Uh... Perhaps some other time. With a sample I send them. I don't intend on being anywhere near them when they "look"... (Nervous +50!)The only option I see is the option proposed by Jager, through some sort of bio-manipulation. Of course, if people got used to the 14 year old looking nova being their boss, this'll become a non-issue.So forgive me if I sound reluctant, it's just that I don't really feel confident with the idea of putting my well-being in the hands of others, now that I think about it.

David 'Dr. Troll' Smith Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Well then... you could just fake going under the knife.Tilt Boots for a little extra height. Padded bra for a little extra there, maybe hire a professional make up artist for some tips on how to look older.Hollywood & Bollywood have had to deal with this sort of thing.

Sakurako Hino Posted December 29, 2003 Author Share Posted December 29, 2003 Hmm. I do have some equipment for "faking" just being short... And I've noticed certain hairstyles make me look more "mature". I guess for a while I'll have to experiment with combinations of business suits, power ties, and various other things.Looks like some fashion modifications are in order. Hopefully with the right things, I can pass for a short adult, and not a girl skipping class...Of course, I could take someone's advice someone gave me a couple days ago and actually act my appearance. Although I do feel quite uncomfortable reliving my adolesecence.Of course some would say I'm doing so already... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sphere Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Hey Endeavor, you're a gadgeteer aren't you? Two words "Image Inducer". Holographic projectors are a nice clean way of changing your looks without worrying whether or not Raoul the Happy Plastic Surgeon is also Raoul the Scary Baraka Cult member.

Charr Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Do any of you even know what a hologram is?Even a stupid zip, a charitable distinction if ever there was one, might suspect something quirky with a glow in the dark woman. But hey, don't mind me. Just keep stuffing your round node in a baseline square and wondering why it won't fit.:snicker: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jager Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Charr, is a glowing nova really that odd? Come on now, I can name a half-dozen off the top. Hell, I know a nova who is a living hologram.Keep at it, E-chan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wait with baited breath to see how you solve the issues of covering an entire being, while compensating for movement, environment, clothing, while keeping the device portable. Quite honestly, how are you going to reflect the beams of light back in upon the bearer? A living person is a three-dimensional object. One emitter isn't going to be capable of covering all of that space, given shadow, and the natural tendency of the body to block light from a projector.

Sakurako Hino Posted January 4, 2004 Author Share Posted January 4, 2004 Actually, forget complex...Someone is teaching me Make-up techniques. Theatrical-grade.Right now I'm looking at myself as I'd look as a 40 year old. With the same height and body frame. Quite frankly it's sort of disturbing that I did such a good job.What I'm using is a Hinopolymer variant that works like the Latex and what not they used for Movie make-up, combined with some artistic work using standard make-up. I bleached out my hair white, and re-dye it a raven black. Thing is with that, if I dorm, then un-dorm, it turns f**king pink again...Looks like I keep that. It's just who I am.Looks like I've solved my problem.Although I don't like looking like a short middle-aged woman. But, hopefully it will help credibility-wise.*LOL*Transformation Pen... HA.

Hugin Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 Y.T. you're new here so let me be the first to offer you a little bit of ettiquette advice. You are talking with Novas here, not some bored executive whiling way the hours after the wife has gone to bed. Some Novas, such as Endeavor and Doc Troll, are pleasant and friendly sorts who will shrug off the occasional rude comment. Others, well, they might not. Again, I note you are dealing with Novas. Some Novas are not particularly threatening, such as myself. I would have trouble being a threat to anyone. Others however, such as Charr and Jager, well, they are threatening without having to try. While I doubt you are intending to start a fight, there is always a significant possibility that you might mouth off to the wrong Nova. Yes, I already know, you are a big, bad Elite. Congratulations. However, you are far from the biggest or the baddest. You might be unlucky enough to mouth off to someone bigger and badder than youself. And what do you do if they happen to lack the ability to return your ire using scathing wit? What if they feel embarassed at being tongue-tied and decide that beating you to death would make them feel less embarassed? Wouldn't that simply be a silly way to die?So, when speaking to other Novas here, might I suggest a modicum of tact? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugin Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 I was looking at who you were talking to. If you had reacted in such a manner to Sakurako or Codex, I would simply have chided you for being rude.Just as if you had reacted in that manner to Apep I would have inquired where to send flowers.Charr and Jager being Charr and Jager, I simply thought a heartfelt warning was all that was due.I also appreciate that fact the you responded to me in a civil manner.

Y.T. Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 James, Charr is Charr,and his short comings would prevent him from being a threat to me.Jager,has better things to do than to kill over words.He has too much to loose,and not enough to gain.Besides,Jager has thick enough skin to dish it out,he should take it just fine.

James, let me tell you something about Y.T. for a second if you will.In her mode of work, manners are less important. The most important thing is being able to make snap judgements. It causes someone like her to, be more direct. Now as for some of her comments, I draw a blank as to their reason.Y.T. What I see under your mask is a confused woman who hides under the facade of a tough, no-nonsense soldier. It gives you purpose and direction. If you didn't have that you'd be lost in the sea without a rudder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y.T. Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Well, Endeavor,if you do not like someone,do you go to them with friendly words?Charr is a racist bigot,his views of life,and people is wrong.Not just different than mine,they are wrong.So,when he tries to imply that I was hitting on you,it was neither true nor funny.Jager, on the other hand told me what too do.I may not view him as a foe,he sure ain't paying my bills,so I ain't never got to none of that shit from noone,never.
