NITETIME MUD // APPEARANCE AND EQUIPMENT
==========================================

YOU ARE A CHARACTER IN THE WORLD

Your Account gets you through the front door. Your Character is the
person standing in the Garage: location, inventory, quests, explored
map, appearance, equipment and photographs all belong to that
Character.

APPEARANCE

  appearance             review or begin setting up your appearance
  appearance edit        open the guided editor
  appearance preview     preview before saving
  visualprofile          alias for appearance

The guide covers apparent age, height, build, skin, hair, eyes, face,
eyewear, distinguishing features and other stable visual detail. Work
in the editor is temporary until you save it. Each save becomes a new
version, so a photograph can preserve how someone looked at that
moment even after their profile changes later.

Structured appearance supplements your normal written description.
LOOK at a Character may show both, along with visible worn and held
equipment.

CARRIED IS NOT THE SAME AS EQUIPPED

  hold <item>             put an item in the hand(s) it requires
  grip <item>             alias for hold
  unhold <item>           stop holding an item
  lower <item>            alias for unhold
  wear <item> [= <slot>]  wear carried equipment
  remove <item>           stop wearing an item
  equipment               list worn, held and camera-visible gear
  gear                    alias for equipment

Wear slots include head, torso, outerwear, legs, feet, belt, back and
accessory. Hands are left and right. A two-handed object, including the
Field Camera, needs both hands free. Occupied slots conflict.

Equipment state belongs to the physical item. If you drop or give it
away, it no longer counts as worn or held. Hidden or stowed items are
not treated as visible camera equipment.
