Helen of Mourning Glory. Although she has her usual medic cap and kneepads armor, jer outfit this trade was largely characterized by a fishnets over a skirt with pink harness-like straps. Her nipples are taped. It's the post-apocalypse, you're allowed to do this

Helen of Mourning Glory. Her outfit is a little more armored in this picture, with gloves and some arm protection. She is holding a golden baseball bat and shield, and is using her aspis to block out the rain.

Helen, wrestling with a comrade over a cup, while plenty of people watch. The blocking and angle of the photographer gives it an almost renaissance-style vibe.

Helen alongside many others watches someone prepare to step off a box and onto a cloth maze. She has a bit of a resting bitch face, which combined with her makeup makes for an incredible facade.

The Child of Aphrodite is sparing no one from her looks this trade. #DRMI #DystopiaRising

I'm dressed up as a zombie in a forest. I'm wearing a bloodied shirt and torn leggings. My hands and arms are outstretched. There's blood and bruise makeup all over my face.

Close up of last shot.

"This faction has developed due to the sheer number of those in the Wasteland that have found themselves without homes, families, or anything of their own. While many have fallen to despair and resentment to the world, Hope’s Hand is built around the belief that, while their worlds have fallen apart, others may still have hope. Hope’s Hand is a militant faction that recently was pushed north due to the harsh condition of the wasteland. With the promise of a new settlement, Mercy Pointe, the faction at large decided to put down some roots to protect the hope of those that call this place home. Your character might like this faction if they have a lot of Impact skills, are interested in themes of war and its costs, or just enjoy swinging a (fake) weapon."

"First up, we have the Wayfaring Strangers. This seaside faction is a Sainthood organization built around the notion of hospitality. This faction commonly sails the waters in the lakesea area looking for lost souls, lost items, and helping wherever they can. Recently, they have set permanent roots within the town of Mercy Pointe, being the “face” of the settlement. While altruistic in nature, many fear that the helpful nature of this faction may lead to its own downfall. Or, and perhaps the more believed theory, is that this altruism is a facade. Your character might like this faction if they have the Travel skill [Proficient], are a part of the Sainthood of Ashes, or have a knack for hospitality and social roleplay!"
