Being Pretty and Beyond?
How do?

But how do you BE pretty? Especially when you're tapping into levels of pretty that are tapping into Cyberpunk's transhumanism themes?

Like I said (perhaps poorly), if a player is charismatic they can play a low charisma character by just by not being charismatic. Just like low intelligence characters can be portrayed by high intelligence player as not smart.

The problem is that highly statted charisma characters are required to roleplay a pretty person. Possibly extending outside the realms of what humans consider natural attractiveness.

I can admit that I'm not a bad looking person, but I'm not one of "the pretty people". I do not have the life experiences that would lead to portraying someone with the looks of a Greek God made flesh. So I'm seeking advice on how to portray someone who IS pretty and knows how to BE pretty.

And then advice on transhumanism pretty past that?

For a character who’s tapping into “transhuman pretty,” I think the roleplay can lean into themes like awe, discomfort, or even the uncanny. Attractiveness beyond the human norm might inspire reactions like being entranced, intimidated, or unsettled. If you're at that level of beauty, it’s not just “Oh, they’re hot,” but more like, “I can’t stop staring, but I’m not sure if it’s admiration or fear.” Think of the phrase "too perfect to be real."

As for being pretty in the social sense, it’s often the small details that sell it: Effortless posture, the kind of presence that turns heads when entering a room. Subtle cues like always being composed, and calm, or using charming body language (a soft smile, intense eye contact). Playing into confidence. Whether it’s quiet, smug, or over-the-top, a character knows they’re pretty and acts like it.

When roleplaying hyper-attractive people, let your character expect certain reactions people fumbling for words, turning red, feeling a little inferior, or acting more accommodating without even realizing it. Beauty can be power, and how others respond to that beauty can make the experience feel more immersive.

For transhuman levels of pretty, think of “enhanced” details that blur the line between organic and artificial, skin too flawless, eyes too vibrant, proportions unnervingly ideal. It’s the sort of attractiveness that might make people say, "Something about them feels… off, but I can’t look away." Lean into those small unsettling details and how they contrast with human expectations.

At the end of the day, “being pretty” is about presence and perception, how you describe your character and how they react to the way others treat them. In a cyberpunk world, that presence can take on a whole new level that transcends humanity.
