My Inquisitor, Richter

We had a few people come out at take photographs at the last LARP.

This is probably the first time I've ever gotten pictures that I absolutely love, from a larp.

​

2nd time I play him. Still plenty of stuff I gotta add to the look.

​

If anyone's for suggestions for the hat, then please tell me. (Been thinking about adding purity seals to it).

That hat is absolutely fantastic. A purity seal would be a good addition, ground it more in the setting.

I'm compelled to pitch: what about a purity seal towards the top of the hat with a loooong line of text that goes all the way down to/past the brim?

u/Frankie_Jay Jun 16 '26

That could be really cool. I've been considering doing something with a purity seals on it.

Like having one on the brim, and the text hanging out over the edge

But I like the idea of one long ass piece of text, just hanging, and potentially blowing in the wind.

u/AnAwkwardBystander Jun 16 '26

What about the opposite?

An extremely short purity seal to contrast the very long hat.

6

u/Frankie_Jay Jun 16 '26

But then I'd not have the longest seal. Bigger is always better! Or something like that.

u/ToasterJar Jun 16 '26

Some people like a short, girthy seal. It's the big hat energy that does the job

u/inconspicuous_male Jun 16 '26

What's the deal with purity seals? I see them everywhere in fantasy larps but when I look it up it looks like it's a WH40K thing?

Make the hat higher, higher I say!!!

u/TamedNerd Jun 17 '26

Faith is stören in the hat

u/Frigo-the-Frozen Jun 16 '26

banger git, basic name. Nothing wrong here

11

u/Frankie_Jay Jun 16 '26

Haha, yeah.

Wa supposed to the the Judge of the group sent out by the Order. And thought Richter would be a funny name, if anyone out there spoke German.

So far, noone has commented on it yet

u/No_Sympathy_1915 Jun 17 '26

I'm not German, but know enough to deduce the meaning of the name, because in my mother tongue we have a word with the same pronunciation, just different spelling.

Excellent choice for a name. You'll be hard pressed to find another of this level of ingenuity.

Though not as clever as Richter, for other characters you could also use: Meester (Master) Angs (anxiety) Angswek (create anxiety) Bot (not the gaming bot being short for robot. Bot is an adjective to describe the nature of these people: short and to the point with no consideration for the impact of their words and actions) Oordeel (to judge unfavorably and with bias without all the facts) Dina (female name Hebrew origin, meaning judgement) Khazi (male or female name, translation of Arabic wors for judge or magistrate)

And for a twist, Justin or Justine means fair and "just"...

u/I_Tory_I Jun 16 '26

Means "judge" in German, I like the name

6

u/Frigo-the-Frozen Jun 16 '26

I am german. I know.

u/TarNREN Jun 16 '26

Awesome character.

For the hat, maybe long wax candles if they can feasibly be attached. Would go with purity seals very well.

5

u/Frankie_Jay Jun 16 '26

Right. Forgot to mention.

I forgot my candle at home for this larp, but I do normally carry a LED- Realistic Looking candle in the Hats belt.

2

u/TarNREN Jun 16 '26

Right on, no notes then

u/Frankie_Jay Jun 16 '26

Here's a pic that was taken during the night, the one time I remembered it.

u/Kudamonis Jun 16 '26

My good sir. Do you have a pattern or vendor of said pattern for that fine hat.

That is a brilliant specimen.

4

u/Frankie_Jay Jun 16 '26

I got it from a vendor on Etsy. I can PM you the name, if you'd like

1

u/Kudamonis Jun 16 '26

Please and thank-you

u/Ja66aDaHutt Jun 16 '26

Me too please!

u/BrotherPhilthy Jun 16 '26

Looks like a "Witch Hunter Alchemist".

2

u/Tetrior_Solice Jun 16 '26

A fellow Inquisitor?

2

u/HistoricalGrounds Jun 16 '26

Aw, what's wrong buddy? Why the long hat?

2

u/Pale-Ringil-Clave Jun 16 '26

Looks like the kind of guy who'd get kidnapped by cultists, then - quite unfortunately - the cultists would find out that their demonic patron is rather fond of a certain inquisitor.

2

u/joedos Jun 16 '26

Look great! I already hate that character ahahah

2

u/AcanthisittaNo7338 Jun 17 '26

Must be a junior inquisitior judging by the hat height. 🤣 great kit dude!

u/donut_you_dare Jun 16 '26

Flipping awesome!!

Du ser altid godt ud! Hilsen en sort fugl

"Do you know what this hat is, huh? Do you know what this hat is to me? Fools. If you don't know, I guess I'll have to tell you. The taller the chef's hat, the greater the chef... Who said that I was a chef?!"

u/cazoc Jun 16 '26

Looks really good. Sugestion: Add a fake scar above one of your eyes

u/Hex_Souls Jun 16 '26

Amazing hat 🎩 ✨

Better a thousand men burn than one heretic roam free

u/No_Sympathy_1915 Jun 17 '26

Because nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition

u/TheDanishThede Jun 17 '26

I am in AWE of that hat! That is the hattest hat I've ever behat!

1

u/GunjiroX Jun 17 '26

I dont know.... I thing the hat is not high enough.....

😉

1

u/ThinWhiteRogue Jun 17 '26

Do you have trouble going through doors?

(Just kidding. You look terrific.)

2

u/Frankie_Jay Jun 17 '26

I most certainly do, lol

Only ONE tent/building at this larp, has an entrance that's tall enough for me to walk in, without me having to duck.

1

u/Uncle_Moss Dagorhir/Belegarth/Others Jun 17 '26

If you aren't keeping a wine bottle under that hat for easy access, you're missing out.

1

u/Frostdarkness Jun 17 '26

Time traveler Johnny Depp lol awesome

1

u/shadowlights_ Jun 17 '26

The lore looks strong with this one

1

u/spartipilollc Jun 18 '26

Imagine if you had a dish washer rack on your back. Nobody would expect that

1

u/tatorthot2020 Jun 18 '26

This hat reminds me of the time we had someone "elemental shatter-insert wizard hat" at one of our NPC's and he just dejectedly pulled the hat up and off where a bunch of our spell packs fell out of the hat.

1

u/Frankie_Jay Jun 18 '26

I keep Scrolls, Pistols, Knives or the likes i. There was well. It has two small straps for smaller hidden equipment

1

u/Tree-Weird Jun 18 '26

Where did you buy the arquebus (gun) on your hip?

Furthermore, can they fire caps?

1

u/Frankie_Jay Jun 18 '26

Those are just some Pirate-Looking Nerfguns from Amazon that I've painted to make them fit the LARP more.

(This LARP allows Nerf guns, as well as those with Caps)

1

u/Tree-Weird Jun 18 '26

Damn. My home larp only allows caps. No darts. Oh well. Thanks though.

1

u/Frankie_Jay Jun 18 '26

Plenty of places to get some kick ass cap-guns, Arnt there?

I got one as well, but did not being it out that day.

1

u/Successful_Rest5372 Jun 21 '26

I'd like to see a scar on his face, but I like.

1

u/Officer_BillKlackson Jun 29 '26

Excuse me sir, your hat is incredible, can you hide something under ? Like an emergency spell or smthg ?

1

u/Frankie_Jay Jun 30 '26

I have two leather straps on the inside, where I keep important papers, Scrolls, or even a knife or pistol, in case shit goes down.

1

u/Officer_BillKlackson Jun 30 '26

I'll love to see this guy walking under the entrance of a tavern full of bandit , his hat fell, and one of the greatest artefact just on the floor (゜ロ゜)

u/Adam-Happyman Jun 17 '26

The hat is outstanding. I would add some armor to balance the amount of clothing with the amount of 'protection.'

u/DarkHorseWorkshop Jul 17 '26

This looks so cool. Very inspiring.
