As you begin your adventures, you may wish to add a little spice to your character and his or her appearance. There are a few ways to do this, the easiest being your [[description]]. Anyone who LOOKs at you will see what you have written yourself to appear as. To describe yourself, you simply use DESCRIBE ME <[[description]]>. It will always start with "(He|She) is a(n) <adjective> <race> and is ...", where the ellipses denote where your custom description goes. The best way to see how it works is to try it, so ''DESCRIBE ME tall'' and ''LOOK ME'' to see the result. Of course, a good description is somewhat longer than that, but it's up to you to write it. More tips and guidelines are detailed in [http://www.achaea.com/irex/helpview/help.php?q=DESCRIPTION HELP DESCRIPTION].

You can also robe yourself in any number of different kinds of clothing: you must be tired of those dull robes from the Trial of Rebirth by now. All around the realms are [[shops]], some of which stock a variety of clothing. Do some window shopping! If you find something you like, PROBE it. (For more information on shops for the informed newbie, please see our section on spending your gold above) Some adventurers are also tailors or jewellers by profession, and many can craft pre-designed items for you, or even design custom clothing for you (though often at a higher price). You can wear nearly anything you like, and it can show a lot about your character's personality. Your clothing will be listed at the end of your description, so it's a great idea to have both a proper description and clothing.
