Creating/Finding Clothing Help + Troll Help
So, I was trying to figure out what I wanted Jermaine's concept to be, and I settled (easily) on a 'tribal warrior' sort of look. The only problem I'm having currently is what he could wear to convey this concept past his description, general attitude/actions, and voice (which I'm still trying to get down, thinking 'thick, guttural Trollish' accent if it'll fit).
So I spent ~30 minutes searching the internet for ideas, and I found an image I think would look cool in-game (with variations), but I just don't know the steps or how to find what I need so I could throw it all together and make the perfect outfit for him. (Bad enough he has to wear fullplate armour, sheesh.)
As for the 'Troll Help' bit, I've got a few questions. The game art for the Troll Blademaster has him with long lower teeth/tusks. Is that common for Trolls to have, long lower canines/tusks? Because I'm trying to have Jermaine be all 'pureblood Troll, ra-ra-ra', and that sort of thing would help through his appearance, too.
And my description, for whatever reason.

And my description, for whatever reason.
He is a powerful troll, an image of towering strength and pureblood heritage. He stands higher than eight feet, displaying the classic broad shoulders, incredibly trained abdomen, and slimmed waist that all coalesce to emphasize the athletic vigour coursing through his slender yet well-muscled form. Jermaine's diamond-shaped face delivers the concept of a tribal warrior, consisting of firm lips, a thick and slightly broad nose, as well as a strong, sharp jawline and an equally built chin. His ears are a few inches long and taper sharply to a pointed tip. His long hair only furthers this notion, thick raven braids pulled back into a messy ponytail, solid bone braid-cuffs serving as mere decoration. Eyes the color of melted amber watch with a disinterested fierceness, flicking to and fro almost constantly under a perpetually furrowed brow.
Thanks for any and all help/suggestions/comments. 
Edit: Reason I didn't try and bring this up around game was because I couldn't find a way to say it all without making it blatantly OOC, which I want to try and keep to a minimum.

If you want to make new clothes just for your look, you'll need to find a tailor and submit some new designs, which will probably run you a few thousand gold per design, minimum. On the upside you'll have the designs forever and be able to replace those clothes as they decay, while others cannot use and create those clothes. Take a look at HELP CRAFTING GUIDLINES ig if you want to work on your own design, or you can find someone and hire them to do it for you.
As far as Troll teeth go, your best bet is probably to visit some troll settlements (Qurnok/Riagath maybe?) and take a look around at the denizens in the area. I've seen a few adventurers with it in their description, but not many, and adventurer choices aren't the best gauge of what's 'canon' for certain races.
I'm also a tailor in-game. If you end up needing someone to submit or look over designs, I'd be happy to help!
You might could even take inspiration from the Azatlan, which seem to be inspired by Polynesian culture.
RP is cheap. If you mess up your RP you're probably okay, unless you mess it up really bad and you have a factional class. It's okay to experiment with it.
Artifacts and classes are not cheap and fucking them up is terrible and lots of the things aren't really apparent on first glance, so it's good to ask about them before jumping in.
Things that you do now may be remembered in five years time and depending on what it is can be held against you.
I feel like you've really got to work at it to really trash your rep. Unless you are utterly lacking in social graces, it is unlikely that you are going to pull that off by accident. Sure, you can commit treason or become a permanent enemy of somewhere or do something really goddamn terrible and become a social pariah. I've seen it happen, we all have.
But it ain't the kind of thing that you do accidentally unless you have absolutely no sense of what is and is not appropriate. Whatever mistakes you make, they'll almost certainly be recoverable.
Totes would have kicked you out of Mhaldor.
Seriously.
Either way, you make your experience. What you do in the past won't always hinder you in the future, whether it's remembered or not.
