Well, I dealt 1 damage to Revan, it happens. I'm sure he won't be offended. I said right away that it's nothing personal.
And Lokken won't mind losing 9.
Let me know if I made any mistakes.

I thought the image of my "character" for the contest would be quite obvious, as everyone knows how enthusiastic I am about them.
My masquerade logic for the color:
I didn't want to send an obvious color like red, white, or green, as that would be boring and unspecific. On the other hand, a precise digital code like RGB is overkill in terms of accuracy (who can boast about being able to distinguish DDFFAA from DCFFAA, or that they like one color more than another?). So, that leaves only shades named after some object. Considering various raspberry (heh), cherry (I could have sent that as a hint about washing in blood), and other colors, I quickly settled on lilac, as I really like lilacs (and after reading Pratchett's "Night Watch," I liked them even more). There is, however, a nuance that lilacs come in two colors, not counting white and rarer varieties, but I don't care.
Regarding the other two points, I already wrote to Revan, I'll just quote myself:
Thinking about which animal to send.
I would either send a killer whale.
Or someone with very well-known and good relationships between individuals in a pair (like, for example, a turtle dove).
Or I was also thinking of a jumping spider.
But I settled on a dragonfly, as the aesthetics of its flight is just amazing, and combined with the beauty of the insect itself.
That is, if you can find analogs for the other animals with the same logic (jumping spider = some other hairy, cute spider, killer whale = some other dolphin, like a bottlenose or river dolphin), then dragonflies are top in their category.
I have so many beautiful, fantasy-like things saved in all sorts of places.
That I didn't bother much.
Except that I ruled out options with warrior women, as that would be too easy.

I have a picture of Revan in my folder, by the way. And in several variations, at that.
Well, I assumed that many players would notice the obvious "Revan" and such, I just didn't expect it to be so unanimous.
I'm a real enigma! I was sure that at least someone would guess at least one of the items. Or at least attribute a dwarf picture to me, which I once used in one of the games.
I was also a little surprised that no one attributed a spider to Revan. If the difficulties with other options are understandable, I myself might have put Loc on that picture (it was about 50/50 for me), but a spider is a completely obvious option.

Revan and Ment mimicked too blatantly.
I even thought that the post I wrote in the thread might give me away a bit, making it easier for the other participants to guess. But the words about doppelgangers, apparently, didn't stick in anyone's memory.

Revan also said that the masquerade was supposedly simple – he pointed out the most obvious options.
It's a bit surprising that no one attributed the spider to Revan. While the difficulty with other options is understandable, I might have chosen Lok for that image myself (it was about 50/50 for me), but the spider is a completely obvious choice.
And the fish was some kind of Southeast Asian fish; I figured the person who sent it was a fan of local fauna or sushi (although sushi isn't made from freshwater fish, but who knows).
