What is the first thing your main character wears in their first appearance?

IReidandWrite · Dec 25, 2007

I don't know if she's still the MAIN MAIN character, but I guess she sort of is.

She's a baby in her debut scene, and she's wearing....

Brace yourselves for cuteness...

A Cheshire Cat footie pajamas thingy with cat ears and a tail.

My main character wears......

A T-SHIRT AND SHORTS

I know. I'm a genius.

Shady Lane · Dec 25, 2007

Haha, I have no idea.

I assume he's semi-dressed up. Going to his brother's concert.

reenkam · Dec 25, 2007

black cargos, some kind of shirt, and boots. the boots are important.

well, not really. I just wanted him to have some awesome boots...

veinglory · Dec 25, 2007

It's high fantasy, so the usual sexy tunic and leggings combo....

Andre_Laurent · Dec 25, 2007

Jeans, t-shirt, black leather jacket.

Stormhawk · Dec 25, 2007

Depending which beginning I end up going with, either a purple t-shirt and white pants or suit pants, white shirt and blue vest.

Devil Ledbetter · Dec 25, 2007

She's wearing coveralls and work boots. And he thinks she is f.i.n.e.

Danger Jane · Dec 25, 2007

zero items of clothing

Nakhlasmoke · Dec 25, 2007

Hmm, well, it's mentioned that he puts something in a jacket pocket, so from that we can deduce that he is wearing a jacket. He's written rather scruffily though, so I think anyone reading would get that he was dressed somewhat scruffily too.

Usually I leave it mostly for the reader to imagine. However I decided I wanted Timothy to be wearing a brown corduroy jacket for most of his adventure, thought it was cool. I mentioned it at the beginning and thought that would be enough.

Then I saw the most recent Harry Potter and in the last scene Mr. Potter was dressed exactly as I always had pictured Timothy (yes, with the corduroy jacket and everything). And it looked pretty darn good.

So I went back into my MS and mentioned the jacket throughout the story, to sort of maintain the visual. You know. Just . . .cause.

One of my MCs is wearing a bliaut, one is wearing a tunic/leggings combo, one is wearing a cobbled-together set of street-urchin leathers, and one is wearing a very pretty cotehardie.

High fantasy, did I mention?

megan_d · Dec 26, 2007

He's a teenage boy, so jeans and a shirt.

sunna · Dec 26, 2007

She's wearing a patched green dress with the lace ripped off and worn out leather boots. But it gets ruined 5 pages in when someone bleeds all over it, and her attire changes considerably after that.

Also high fantasy.

DVGuru · Dec 26, 2007

I've yet to mention what my MC is wearing. His clothing hasn't been important, so I leave it up to the reader's imagination.

allenparker · Dec 26, 2007

nothing. His other personality is wearing shorts and a tropical shirt.

The Grift · Dec 26, 2007

Overpriced (for all the clothes) khaki shorts, a green polo, leather flip-flops, shaggy hair, tattoos, and a big sign across his forehead that says "COLLEGE"

Sassee · Dec 26, 2007

WIP 1 - Tight jeans, some sort of shirt. Not much detail is given because she begins the story drunk and quickly loses her clothes

WIP 2 - A hideous purple skirt and a white blouse. It was the only thing she could find in a hurry.

WIP 3 - Clothes not mentioned yet (I'm in outline/hook phase), but I know this character likes her leather boots. She's probably wearing them when the story starts.

Shadow_Ferret · Dec 26, 2007

I don't believe I ever described what my MC was wearing. It's in first person and he just never talks about what he's wearing.

ShebaJones · Dec 26, 2007

WIP A: Jeans, tank top, tall boots.

WIP B: Boots, pants, long coat, shirt, vest, hat. All gray. Oh, and a big pair of goggles.

DeadlyAccurate · Dec 26, 2007

No clue. Baggy jeans or cargos or BDUs, I guess, and probably a t-shirt. She carries a concealed pistol and a sheathed suppressor, so clothes have to be baggy enough to hide them.

Stew21 · Dec 26, 2007

I never really say, but at one point (when he's rushing around because of an urgent phone call) he trips over his running shoes and pulls a t-shirt out of a laundry basket.

he must have been shirtless and shoeless.

:Shrug:

HourglassMemory · Dec 26, 2007

A white shirt, a waistcoat, and brown coat. And long trousers that cover the shoes insteps.

Think 19th century.

DeleyanLee · Dec 26, 2007

My hero's a Scotland Yard detective, Victorian era, coming off-duty, so he's in a dark linen suit and a bowler hat. One has appearances to uphold, after all.

otterman · Dec 26, 2007

A woven kuana wrap made from fibers harvested from The Plains of Gold. Hey, you asked.
