{{TOCright}}'''Veola hair accessories''' are highly customizable hairworn accessories that were created by '''GM Reidyn''' and introduced at [[Ebon Gate 2012]] in [[EGShop:A Head Above|A Head Above]]. They come in three categories (''hats'', ''barrettes'', and ''headbands'') with the ability to alter four sides (''plain'', ''with a gem'', ''with a feather'', or ''with a flower'') as well as three custom hairstyles, including the default. '''Unlocked''' versions also offer additional zests, while '''fully unlocked''' offer demeanor based '''NOD''' and '''SHAKE'''.
'''Veola hair accessories''' are highly customizable hairworn accessories that were created by '''GM Reidyn''' and introduced at [[Ebon Gate 2012]] in [[EGShop:A Head Above|A Head Above]]. They come in five categories (''hats'', ''barrettes'', ''headbands'', ''generic headworn items'', and ''generic hair-worn items'') with the ability to alter each displayed side (''plain'', ''with a gem or button'', ''with a feather'', ''with a flower'', ''with an insect or sea creature'', ''with a pointed item'', or ''with miscellany'') as well as three custom hairstyles, in addition to the default hairstyle. '''Unlocked''' versions also offer additional zests, while '''fully unlocked''' offer demeanor based {{boldmono|NOD}} and {{boldmono|SHAKE}}.

In 2019, Veolas were updated to accept flowers as adornment, effectively adding a fourth side. Thus far, Veolas are not sold "off the shelf" with a flower side. One must find a capable and willing merchant to unlock and add the flower side. As a side note, the Veola will only accept simple flowers without scripts or long descriptions.

Ferronieres are in the same category as headbands.

Veolas have had several updates since their original release, which included expanding what types of items can be added for the different display sides as well as expanding the available noun options for the base item itself. A Veola's category is determined solely by the worn location and noun of the item, and a Veola can be moved into a new category by altering the noun. It is not easily possible to change between head-worn and hair-worn Veolas, although the service is available at Duskruin Arena. Veolas are typically sold "off the shelf" with two or more display sides. Veolas that are purchased without a specific display side set will need a willing GALD merchant to alter that display side in order to use it. Display sides do not have to be altered in order. As a side note, the Veola will only accept simple flowers without scripts or long descriptions.

<pre{{log2}}>This Veola item is designed to display a gem, feather, flower, insects and sea creatures, pointed items, or other miscellaneous items. Miscellany includes other foraged items, skins, shells, and other larger non-gem treasure items. The veil has several distinct descriptions, depending on what item is inserted. To insert an item, hold the veil in one hand, the item you'd like to insert in the opposite hand, and PUSH veil. PULLing the veil will remove the item and restore the veil to its empty description. It has been fully unlocked and has the following verbs available: TWIST, TAP, ATTEND, NOD and SHAKE.
===Barrette===
<pre{{log2}}>
You analyze the barrette and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions.


When worn, it will temporarily alter your hairstyle and supports up to three custom hairstyles in addition to the default setting. To change between the available hairstyles, hold the item in your hands and TURN it. Currently it has no custom hairstyles set.
The creator has also provided the following information:
<hair> brushed back beneath a short ecru spidersilk veil painted with fire lilies (default)<


When altering these items there is some important information to keep in mind. First, this item belongs to the GENERAL HEAD WORN group and may only be altered in one of the following nouns: Anything except Hat, Cap, Tricorn, Tricorne, and Capotain. And while each side is highly customizable, both the noun and material do need to remain the same for all sides.
This item is designed to display a gem, feather, or flower. The barrette has four distinct descriptions: one when empty, a second when a gem is inserted, a third when a feather is inserted, or a fourth when a flower is inserted. To insert an item, hold the barrette in one hand, the item you'd like to insert in the opposite hand and PUSH barrette. PULLing the barrette will remove the hairpiece and restore the barrette to its empty description. It has never been unlocked, but could be by a qualified merchant.


The sides currently are:
When worn, it will temporarily alter your hairstyle and supports up to three custom hairstyles in addition to the default setting. Currently it has no custom hairstyles set.
Gem/Button: a short spidersilk veil glimmering with <adj>s
Feather: a short ecru spidersilk veil painted with <adj>s
Flower: a short ecru spidersilk veil painted with <adj>s

== Additional Alteration Guidance ==

Veola items are fancy fancy hats that can hold three different descriptions:

# A long description. (Example: A vibrant chartreuse silk hat dotted in pale white)
# A description with a gem added. (Example: A vibrant chartreuse silk hat with a <gem> brooch)
# A description with a feather added. (Example: A vibrant chartreuse silk hat stuck with several <feather>s)

The base of the hat should stay the same (a silk hat, a blue silk hat, a black silk hat, etc).

Veolas are also able to style your hair with three custom settings. Please keep in mind that the hairstyle must include the Veola in the description. (Example: She has long, wavy brown hair pinned back with a vibrant chartreuse silk hat dotted in pale white)

Veolas can also be unlocked with additional zests.

===Sample Veola===

:'''shared noun (15/15/15)''': a tricorn
:'''no accessory''': a weathered dark oilskin tricorn pierced with a rusted steel hook
: '''feather''': a navy and white tricorn with a <feather> sticking up from a pale cyan band
: '''flower''': a crimson felt tricorn with a <flower> brocade band
: '''gem''': a midnight black tricorn edged in silver chains and sporting a <gem> cameo
: '''style1''': worn at a rakish angle [post]
: '''style2''': covered by [pre]
: '''worn1''': He has chin length, wavy brunette hair and a navy and white tricorn with a blood red eagle feather sticking up from a pale cyan band worn at a rakish angle.
: '''worn2''': He has chin length, wavy brunette hair covered by a navy and white tricorn with a blood red eagle feather sticking up from a pale cyan band.

Accessories can be set by a merchant to display the full article/adjective/noun (a limpid dark indigo tidal pearl), adjective/noun (indigo tidal pearl), or noun (pearl).
The '''shared noun''' will display in {{boldmono|[[WEAR (verb)|WEAR]]}}/{{boldmono|[[REMOVE (verb)|REMOVE]]}} messaging and should not conflict with any accessorized looks.

Latest revision as of 13:55, 6 May 2023

Veola hair accessories are highly customizable hairworn accessories that were created by GM Reidyn and introduced at Ebon Gate 2012 in A Head Above. They come in five categories (hats, barrettes, headbands, generic headworn items, and generic hair-worn items) with the ability to alter each displayed side (plain, with a gem or button, with a feather, with a flower, with an insect or sea creature, with a pointed item, or with miscellany) as well as three custom hairstyles, in addition to the default hairstyle. Unlocked versions also offer additional zests, while fully unlocked offer demeanor based NOD and SHAKE.

Veolas have had several updates since their original release, which included expanding what types of items can be added for the different display sides as well as expanding the available noun options for the base item itself. A Veola's category is determined solely by the worn location and noun of the item, and a Veola can be moved into a new category by altering the noun. It is not easily possible to change between head-worn and hair-worn Veolas, although the service is available at Duskruin Arena. Veolas are typically sold "off the shelf" with two or more display sides. Veolas that are purchased without a specific display side set will need a willing GALD merchant to alter that display side in order to use it. Display sides do not have to be altered in order. As a side note, the Veola will only accept simple flowers without scripts or long descriptions.

Analyze

This Veola item is designed to display a gem, feather, flower, insects and sea creatures, pointed items, or other miscellaneous items.  Miscellany includes other foraged items, skins, shells, and other larger non-gem treasure items.  The veil has several distinct descriptions, depending on what item is inserted.  To insert an item, hold the veil in one hand, the item you'd like to insert in the opposite hand, and PUSH veil.  PULLing the veil will remove the item and restore the veil to its empty description.  It has been fully unlocked and has the following verbs available: TWIST, TAP, ATTEND, NOD and SHAKE.

When worn, it will temporarily alter your hairstyle and supports up to three custom hairstyles in addition to the default setting.  To change between the available hairstyles, hold the item in your hands and TURN it.  Currently it has no custom hairstyles set.
<hair> brushed back beneath a short ecru spidersilk veil painted with fire lilies (default)<

When altering these items there is some important information to keep in mind.  First, this item belongs to the GENERAL HEAD WORN group and may only be altered in one of the following nouns: Anything except Hat, Cap, Tricorn, Tricorne, and Capotain.  And while each side is highly customizable, both the noun and material do need to remain the same for all sides.

The sides currently are:
      Gem/Button: a short spidersilk veil glimmering with <adj>s
         Feather: a short ecru spidersilk veil painted with <adj>s
          Flower: a short ecru spidersilk veil painted with <adj>s
  Insect/Aquatic: a short ecru spidersilk veil painted with <adj>s
         Pointed: a short ecru spidersilk veil painted with <adj>s
      Miscellany: a short ecru spidersilk veil painted with <adj>s

You get no sense of whether or not the ferroniere may be further lightened.

Usage

All types utilize the same verbs in Tiers 1 and 3, however Tier 2 has differences in verbs between the three accessory types.
