The TIme has come for me to make/get new garb. I was wonder what my fellows would like to see me in? I was thinking about another jester outfit, but i havent decided what colours, i was considering a changable colour pallet or something like that. But, Besides a jester suit, What would you like to see me in?
(since im a jester, my garb is for your amusement as much as mine, so let me know ;D )

The red/black quartered outfit works well. Maybe you could look into making a dark green and black one for fighting in and a really bright and flashy one for non-fighting. Have you thought up much of a back story besides just being a jester? Not that you need to, but it might help decide some types of garb depending if you were from a 14th Century Germanic castle or from a high fantasy elven court. Some garb/accessories ideas could include some jingle bells attached to ribbons that you could tie around your wrists or ankles, covers for your shoes that had ridiculously long points on them (making fun of the long pointed and sometimes curled points on the shoes of knights and nobles). You could go with a hat as well. images.buycostumes.com/mgen/merchandiser/12413.jpgYou could also make a jester’s stick (think doll on a stick that could be dressed similar to you and call him Puffy Junior. "Another favorite 'trick' of a fool was to use a 'Jester's stick' as a way to mock the clergy or the King and Queen themselves. It was in this way that a fool could get away with saying almost anything, after all, it was his 'stick' that said it. The Jester's sticks were used much like a ventriloquist uses a dummy." - www.thecattbox.com/jester.htm

If you could make the doll able to slide on over a weapon (short sword or club) then you could be armed at all times while you were playing the fool all around the camps. You could put a 'skirt' on the doll of the jester's stick to cover up the striking surface, then pull the whole thing off to become, Creampuff the Jester Assassin/Death Jester.

If your stick mocks the Cap'n, he's goin' on th' fire.
Good ideas though, seriously.
