Clothes and looks
How people look, what they wear, and how clothes keep out the cold.
As in SS13, everyone is a body in briefs with clothes, a beard, hair and a hat drawn on top, and what you hold shows in your hand. You choose your look when you make your character.
| Skin | pale, light, fair, weathered |
|---|---|
| Hair | short, long, tied, braids, bald |
| Hair colour | blond, brown, dark, red, grey |
| Beard | none, stubble, moustache, short, full |

Warmth
At night you cool off outdoors (-3.5 a minute at full night) and slower indoors (-1); by day you warm up (+4), by a fire fast (+25), in bed slowly (+2). Clothes multiply the night's chill by 1.25 minus what they keep out, never below 0.3:
| Wearing | Chill |
|---|---|
| Only briefs | ×1.25 |
| Shirt, breeches, pastlad (the starting clothes) | ×1 |
| …and a kuub and a woollen cap | ×0.5 |
Below 35 you're cold (blows ×0.85, jobs ×1.2), below 10 freezing (×0.6, ×1.5). See the warmth guide.
