Attribute: Appearance

Appearance is the raw measure of your character's physical beauty.  Whereas Charisma and Manipulation require a certain amount to speech and intent to get the job done, Appearance is almost always active and influencing others that can perceive your character's presence.  As the character's Appearance rating increases they become more adept at curating their body image and using facial expressions and body language that invoke a wide range of responses from lust or adoration.  When a character first meets a person, they may call for an appearance roll to make a good first impression. Each Appearance rating listed below includes a feat that your character could reasonably attempt with a little work and a successful plan.

Attribute Levels:

                                 
0 Abysmal: People scream and panic when they meet you. You have been mistaken for a cryptid or an actor in heavy horror prosthetics.
1 Poor: People actively avoid looking at you. With enough time and attention to self-care you could go out in public but the best you could hope for is to be innocuous.
2 Average: You have a common face and body type that can get lost easily in a crowd. You don't draw too much attention whether you desire it or not.
3 Good: Your character is reasonably attractive. Strangers introduce themselves on the basis of your looks alone, and you have enough people "swiping right" to keep your date-book busy.
4 Exceptional: You are used to being the most attractive person in a room. Cat-calls are common and unsolicited declarations of love (or at least infatuation) are the norm for you.
5 Outstanding: You are used to being the most attractive person in your social sphere. Jaws drop, traffic stops, and the eyes of strangers seem to follow you wherever you go.
6 Paragon: You have a face and body that belongs in a museum or classical piece of art. People's first impressions of you are either intense jealousy or instant infatuation.
7 Super-Human: Your attractiveness is so sublime that you are sometimes mistaken for an otherworldly being. You have yet to meet a person who has a blasé reaction to your looks.
