Non-Exalted players: The first question on this page is a consequence of the rule that Abyssals, as they raise their essence, must choose either to become horrific undead monsters (Flame, for example, took this route, and became a mummy) or deathly beautiful. The first of these esults in the use of masks, heavy robes, and so forth, and this makes a good deal of sense; but the second, for some reason, somehow tends to involve a certain degree of... peculiar clothing choices.
