I have a one-shot LARP coming up in a few months and the character I was given dresses sort of punk/metal, with some flexibility. Character is supposed to be physically imposing.

Anyone have pointers on where to start? I have a kickass modern black kilt with purple tartan kickpleats, which I think I’ll use as a foundation. What can I add on?

I’m thinking ear cuffs, a torn, vintage band t-shirt, and a denim jacket. Chunky black boots if I can find any that don’t use natural rubber in their soles or adhesive :p .

Limitations: I don’t have any piercings or tattoos, and I’m not getting them for this role. I’m allergic to latex, gold, and nickel. I don’t want to spend too much on something I won’t use again. Hair is currently shoulder length. I am a white non-binary millennial, but the character is of unset gender.

I’m also interested in store suggestions, especially for non-pierced ear and face jewelry. I’m drowned in options and I don’t know which are honest about their materials. I’m in the United States.

    Kind of, yeah. In this case, there are pre-written character sheets. You’re assigned a character by the GM based on a casting questionnaire.

    Some games have dice, some don’t. Some involve hitting each other with foam swords or Nerf weapons, some don’t. It depends on what mechanics the game author wanted.

    The game I’m going to play in is called a “theatrical-style larp”, meaning it’s more about portraying characters in a situation than about winning.
