What are the beauty standards of the different countries in your worlds

Let me go first. In Tenebros, there are very different beauty standards depending on which country you live, both for men and women.

In Gaviira for example, when it comes to beauty standards, men and women that are blondes and have fairer skin are considered more appealing to the people there, with the men having shorter hair or no hair at all, while the women usually have longer hair tied in braids or just straight hair. Having unique colored eyes is also considered very attractive in these lands, especially if you have heterochromia. Women are usually preferred by the people there to be more slender and smaller, but not to the point that they look like skeletons. Men are usually preferred to be taller than women, with fully shaved faces, fit or muscular bodies with little to no body hair. Women and men there are also preferred to dress more modestly, not to the point that they become nuns but also not to the point that they have everything out for everyone to see. It is technically not illegal, but not a lot of people there are into that.

Then there is Frigus, the City ot Snow. Frigus is a tough place that requires a lot of work and hard labor. So people that are fit and hard working are considered more appealing to others, while people that have blue eyes and black hair are considered incredibly attractive as well. Most women keep their hair on the length of their shoulders while men keep a lot of facial hair on them as well, letting beards or mustaches grow in their faces. Men there are also attractive to others if they have scars or a few tattoos on their bodies, although not too many of them.

After that, there is Bahazuma, which is a country in the desert of Proria. When it comes to beauty standards there, both men and women in this place of the world that have longer hair are considered more attractive by the people there. To them, having long and healthy hair is a sight of nobility and beauty. Same goes for having temporary or permanent body art. Dark skin is also much more attractive there, with most of the citizens of Bahazuma believing that having white or pale skin makes someone look sickly. Men in this place are considered more attractive when they are taller than women, but not too tall and have a lean and athletic but not too muscular build. Women on the other hand, are usually preferred to be a bit shorter with curvy bodies and hips, if not a little chubby.

There is another major country called Jilios that is nearby the ocean, but beauty standards don't really exist there, at least not a lot of people care about them. Jilios is an absolute mess and they don't really have specific beauty standards anymore because of how bad things are there. The country is split into 3 different factions that are fighting for its remaining scraps, while they also have to deal with sea monsters, deadly diseases and all kinds of gangs.

Then there are my three Islands (technically they are four, but the fourth one is a prison island, so it doesn't really count). First we have Mardisiara, which is one of the richest and most elite places in the world. This is basically a party island full on nobles and rich folks that can afford to stay there. That is reflected on the beauty standards there as well. Because of the high economical state of the island, things like exotic wigs or extravagant dresses and lots of makeup are considered more appealing to the people there, since they have the money for them. Some people there even use illusion magic to make themselves look better or more appealing to others. Tattoos and permanent body modifications are also a somewhat common thing as well, usually made through the use of magic. These go both for men and women, especially women

The second one is Xaniqe, also known as The Sea Fortress. This is a place where you learn to swing a sword and kill at the same time as you learn to read and write. Because this island is so focused on warfare, most people in Xaniqe are attracted to warriors (of either gender), so things like war tattoos, muscles or scars are considered attractive to a lot of people there. Being physically weak or soft there is considered unattractive by a lot of people there, believing that not being strong of body means that you cannot fight and survive, then therefore you are not useful. Being physically weak is not illegal there, but a lot of people there lean towards other warriors and people with physical strength and prowess because of the way they were raised.

And finally the Brog Islands (they are three small islands that are interconnected). The Island of Thieves, as a lot of people call it, is a place full of criminals and fugitives of the law, although a fair amount of order does exist because of the crime syndicates that control the different pieces of the island. Beauty standards don't really exist there, mostly because this place is a melting pot of people and races from every country.

Now it's your turn. If have any questions, shoot and I will answer them.
