Optional: Write your chosen character's name (like 'FARVA' or 'RAMATHORN') on a gold nameplate pin and attach it above the right chest pocket.
Makeup & hair
Keep hair neat and tucked under the campaign hat. The focal point of the face is a thick, prominent dark brown mustache; use a little spirit gum if the self-adhesive backing feels loose.
