The aspirational aesthetic for Norse Angels is norse mythology, which you can find many examples of online, but we understand that not everyone has time to get an amazing costume together for a hobby.

Starting out

You don’t have to splash out on costume to get playing. The society has an armoury, which includes some basic setting-appropriate kit that you can borrow. If at all possible, please turn up in a skirt or pair of plain trousers not made of denim, and any unobtrusive shoes that aren’t white trainers. A plain shirt with no obvious logos is ideal for your top half. After that we can lend you basic layers to go over the top, as well as extra costume elements such as belts and armour pieces.

The society has plenty of weapons to borrow - we don't recommend you buy a larp weapon until you've definitely decided the hobby is for you.

Things to avoid

  • Anything obviously modern (except shoes). Logos are especially jarring.
  • White trainers.

Clothing and gender

This is a fantasy alternate universe of viking culture, so has no restrictions on clothing based on gender, although due to our OOC biases we are well aware that subconsciously gendering a character based on their clothing is going to happen, and may be a positive or negative thing according to context. Please be sensible and if someone tells you their character’s pronouns or gender, make your best effort to remember and use the correct terms regardless of the clothes they are wearing.
