Appearance
Costume Brief
Requirements
Vari have long antennae, which may be glued on as prosthetics or incorporated into a headband or headdress. These antennae can be in any insect style. They have chitin instead of flesh, which can be phys-repped through make-up by drawing angular ridges on your face and other visible areas of skin, or raised prosthetics.
Avoid
Don’t give yourself an extra pair of functioning arms – Vari are born as six-legged grubs, but they lose the middle pair of limbs in adulthood. Any nonhuman skin tone makeup should blend in with your natural skin tone, and never be full brown or black makeup if not your natural tone.
Additions
• Mandibles
• Multiple antennae pairs
• Nonhuman skin tone sections reflecting insectoid colour schemes.
• Multiple pairs of smaller insectoid eyes on the cheek or forehead.
Variant: Vestigii Vari
A few vari, the Vestigii, have vestigial insectoid features such as abdomen-style tail sections, carapace shell parts, wings, or non-functional limbs partially fused to their torso/thorax. If removed, these vestigial parts do not regrow, and stumps will become hardened chitin.
