One of my ocs cosplaying as Siffrin from In Stars And Time, since I thought it would be fun to draw
#Thats right kids i finally started shading my drawings#Who would have thought doing that actually made them look better?#if you've been following DR and want to know: cosplaying in general is something Kotadonians are only supposed to do while uncloaked#because its a form of self expression. lumir would only dress like this around his friends and family#im sure there are kotadonians including lumir cosplaying under their cloaks now the more i think of it. that fits their whole thing.#divergent rebirth#divergent rebirth lumir#divergent rebirth act 1#< if you want to know what i was talking about earlier look in that tag on my blog one of the posts is on Kotadonian modesty standards#tldr Kotadonians wear near-identical cloaks and only take them off around trusted people#the idea is that way you dont get judged by strangers for how you dress because strangers have no idea how you dress#in stars and time#isat#original character#character art#when pressed for comment my friend has disclosed that “lumir stylin'.”

As an added thing, if you want, here's what everyone actually looks like.
Divergent Rebirth Act 2 starts tomorrow!
I often have trouble keeping track of characters when reading other people's things, so for anyone else with that problem, here's a refresher on who everyone is. Not all of them will show up in Act 2.

So, if you've been reading divergent rebirth (out now tell your friends), you might remember that Lumir made a casual mention that he wouldn't take his robe off for cultural reasons. I felt like it would be fun to elaborate on that, because Kotadonian culture is really fun to write.
The boy
Kotadonian culture makes a big deal out of the about the inner and outer life. The outer life is the one you have with strangers, and the inner one is the one you have with friends, family, or other trusted people. Kotadonians make a big deal out of these being separate things, and this is reflected in their dress. The robe is built to cover as much of their normal outfit as possible without hindering movement, since it is how you dress for your "outer" life.
Some aspects can change depending on which part of the Kotadonian region you're in. For example, sometimes you're supposed to only wear white, grey, or black. However, others wear robes of any colour.
The robe usually covers everything except the legs and face, although some Kotadonians will wear the hood down.
Being seen without the robe is a pretty significant event. It shows that they now trust you with their inner lives, and is usually the indication a Kotadonian considers someone a good friend.
When it comes to the clothes under the robe, they're often very elaborate. Since they represent the inner self, they are often intentionally modified, and most Kotadonians learn as children how to make said modifications. The robe is a common "starter project", so it's common to see young Kotadonians wearing makeshift robes of their own design.
A lot of Kotadonians can't imagine life without the robe. To them, its an important boundary. Without it, people can be judged for something as simple as their outfits or hair, which feels like a terrifyingly stressful existence to them. They don't know how other people stand that kind of pressure. The robe is, to most Kotadonians, a feeling of safety and autonomy, the ability to dress how you want without fear of being judged by anyone except the people you know you can trust.
As you can imagine, telling a Kotadonian to take off the robe is considered extremely rude.
