Hello,
I’m Victor Gaigaia, Brazilian, and I’ve been part of the Apocalypse World forums for many years. Recently, I’ve been listening to the IPMM crew’s Monsterhearts series, and they told me about this community. Curious about it, I came here.
I would like to share with the group some skins which I worked some years back. They can also be found at the MH’s forum:
This is the image of all my skins, although many I did not finish

From those, 3 I finished:
The Ancient

The God

The nymph

The others are:
– The paladin: The kid who thinks herself as a warrior of truth, justice and all confusing ideals that teenagers may have. They are the crazy fans of a band, the mall anarchists and the revolutionaries without a cause.
The Teachers Pet: That skin is curious, for the player is not only the ‘teacher’s pet’, but also a minion of The School. It’s a mix between the Serpentine (with The Family) and the Infernal (with the Devil). It’s the School, and it’s both the family and the devil.
The Lucky: A comedic skin. The Lucky is the guy/gal that never can get laid, and, for whatever stupid reason, always screws up. Her sex move is: “When you try to have sex, it won’t happen. For any and whatever reason, you will never get laid”.
The Elemental: Pretty straightforward, this skin plays the elemental, a force of nature embodied in human flesh.
The Bully: That’s a ‘human’ version of the wherewolf, but more focused on strings and gainning ‘respect’ from others. Also, I like the move “Mommy!!” – When you scream for your mom and make a fool of yourself, gain+3 to Run Away and lose your Respect.
The Unicorn: When of the skins I like the most, the unicorn embodies the idea of ‘The Prize’. It’s the person that everyone wants, but is unnatainable, like the Holy Grail. Her moves are like ‘Untouchable’, ‘Undeniable’, ‘Unreachable’, ‘Unatainable’ and it’s all about being cold, distant, while exercing power and control over the others. Her sex move is: “When you have sex, change your skin”, because Unicorns must remain ‘pure’.
The Psychic: Plain old psychic teen. Too much power with too few self restraint.
I hope you like the ideas and I’m thinking on finishing, finally, those skins.

Looks really nice, thanks
Thank you. I like the ideas of those skins a lote, specially the Unicorn, God, Ancient and Nymph. Would you like any one of those to be finished? I never received a playtest report of them, besides those at my table.
With the fire of a possible revolution here in Brazil – manifestations, riots, police – I’m in the mood on creating a new skin.
In Brazil there is a slang called “Coxinha”, that is “Chicken Nugget”. It’s a term used to describe those persons with little to no political conscience that think to much of themselves. I might create a skin like that, if I survive to tell the tale, haha.
I’ll let you informed.
Good luck to you
These are really interesting. I look forward to seeing the rest fleshed out.
