I am sure that in an MMO that every player has done a bit of looking at outfits, to some degree. For some of us, gear is nothing more than a number. In times past in The Old Republic, the pursuit of better stats would have character looking like literal murder hobos whose clothing might be the single worst-fitting in a galaxy far, far away. Other times, the gear presented was just ugly.
As you are no doubt aware, the idea of "space Barbie" has been a thing for a long time on sites such as Reddit's r/swtor/ board, a phenomenon that has been further bolstered by the utility of the Outfitter tab in game that now allows you to create a cohesive look INDEPENDENT of the actual appearance of your character's equipped gear.
The premise of this competition is quite simple. Mix and match to your heart's content and find a look that suits your character. Give a small description, up to two paragraphs of why this particular outfit fits your character. It might be that you just literally like the look (tell me why in particular) or that your character has a connection to [insert element here] on the outfit.
The grader will rank all the outfits accordingly and the grader will rank all entrants according to 75% asthetic taste, 15% 'background' behind clothing choice and then another 10 percent will probably be chalked up to purely subjective judgements.
Now you may be asking "how do I enter this thing?" The answer is simple:
Submit a screenshot of your character in the character tab or in play on Star Wars The Old Republic. Pick whichever method works best for us to be able to get a good look at your outfit. Submit your screenshot through the site, add a bit of text for a background on your choice as described above and cross your fingers for good luck.
Don't let anything dissuade you! Come out, and show off your best SWTOR outfits!
